    They love mermaids.

    Amazing Crabcake sandwich and steak wrap! Real cool owner. Inexpensive. The cook loves to sing and play the spatulas to the 80s music. Tiny hole in the wall place with 2 seats. For mermaid lovers.

    Food was decent but not worth the wait, one hour and 20 minutes for 2 platters that costed $70. Unfortunately the roof was leaking in multiple spots due to the storm. At one point one of the owners, who was very friendly, handed about $20 in cash to two women who waited an extended period of time for their food as well. I hope the best for them and hopefully they will get more staff and upgrade their facilities to be able to accommodate the business they could easily be bringing in.

    I haven't tried every crab cake in Ocean City, but I've tried many. I do feel confident saying this: no one does it better than OC Uptown Eats. These are made with legitimate jumbo lump. They're delicious. If you're coming to Ocean City, make this your first stop. Seriously. The crab cake here will rival that of any restaurant in Maryland. For my money, it's one of the best around. Shoutout to ReelJayB on YouTube for the recommendation!

    The food once again didn't disappoint! The summer salad was very flavorful. The kids couldn't stop talking about how delicious the kids tenders and cheeseburgers were. The service is at a all time high with Eric's energy and personality. You have to enjoy Michelle in the kitchen singing along with your favorite hits. If you like a small mermaid happening place stop by you wnt be disappointed.

    OC Uptown Eats exceeded our expectations. Perfect spot for families, couples, or solo diners seeking tasty food and an unique vibe. Has the best Philly subs - recommend getting the Tom Tom.

    Quaint little shop. The couple working where high energy and extremely friendly. I got the Tom Tom and they loaded up the cheesesteak with meat. So much food. Took 10/15mins to cook but well worth the wait and shows that it was a fresh sandwich. Going back as soon as I can

    The JJ was AWESOME! My First time stopping in and I've been coming to OC for 35 years. Very small and inconspicuous location but overcomes with a great selection of freshly made to order food with a welcoming staff! My kids had a crab cake sandwich and the wife had a Philly. Everyone loved what they got and we will be back again!

    Crab cake sandwich to go. Highly recommended!

    Stopped at OC Uptown Eats for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Two crab cake sandwiches to go. Among the the best I've had in Ocean City. Chock full of big, fresh crab chunks, perfectly seasoned. Everything is cooked to order so be prepared to wait a bit. Our order took about 20 minutes. Very limited outdoor seating if you are looking to eat on site. Great food at fair prices. We will definitely be back!

    half my Tom Tom cheesesteak with onion rings

    Is this our new annual stop? I think it might be... Every year we go to Ocean City, Maryland. While coming back from some Delaware beaches, we were hungry. I asked my wife to find somewhere "uptown"... She used yelp and found OC Uptown Eats. Fine, let's do it. We entered this small shop and were immediately greeted. We had no idea what we wanted, so we were advised to just call them when we were ready. We eventually settled on splitting the Tom Tom... A ribeye cheesesteak with onion rings. Have I ever had a cheesesteak in Ocean City? I really try to skip them the further away from Philly that I get. Some places just do steak on a roll... Just weird things. We were told we could eat inside and there were two bar stools by a little ledge. They moved some pamphlets to create more room and then brought out our cheesesteak. They split it in half and gave us two baskets. Fantastic service. This was a damn good cheesesteak. I can think of so many places in my home area that are worse cheesesteaks. Roll was great, steak was perfect, just good flavor. I'm thinking this is run by a husband and wife team. The woman was friendly and helpful. Patient too. The man came by and spoke to us for a decent amount of time. Both stressed the homemade quality of the food. He even handed us a complimentary water bottle, since it was a really hot day out there. We were planning to return and get some crab cakes to take home, but we left a day early and they weren't open. This year on our drive down, we stopped in Rehobeth for brunch. Before OC Uptown eats, I said lets just do that every year. Now I think I wanna eat here on the first day. It's like three blocks from the Delaware/Maryland line. Great find and can't wait to go back.

    Tom Tom cheesesteak

    We were starving and coming back from a shopping trip at the Rehoboth outlets. We wanted to play mini golf on 139th street but wanted to get food first and didn't want to have to backtrack. My husband said to look up food places uptown so I googled uptown fast food and OC Uptown Eats came up - and it was on 141st street right before mini golf - perfect! I was originally going to get oysters and some soup but my husband wanted a cheesesteak and I thought that looked good too so we split the Tom Tom cheesesteak - a ribeye cheesesteak with onion rings. They even put as many other toppings on as you want I got mushrooms, peppers, lettuce, fried onions, etc. Also I loved that they toasted the roll. It was so good! The fried onion rings gave it a nice crunch and it Was nice to have all the extra toppings that you don't normally get. I live in Philly and this cheesesteak was better than most of the ones we have at home. The owners were the nicest people too and really care about customer service. They were talking to us the whole time we were in there. They were thoughtful and gave us a complimentary water bottle because it was really hot outside. It's a good thing we had it cause when we played mini golf we were dying out there haha. I really wanted to go back to get their crab cakes to take home but we had to leave a day early unexpectedly and when we left at 10:00 in the morning they weren't open yet. I'll have to wait till next year to come back , or maybe I'll try to send my parents there to grab me some when they go in September for sunfest. Best hidden gem in OC MD and can't wait to come back!

Just the…read morenight before, we had a great crab dinner at another OC restaurant and gave them five stars--but this was on another level. We ordered steamed large crabs; it was juicy, and unbelievably sweet--you could taste the freshness. You break the claws and the juice literally drips out--so good. The oysters? Also insanely fresh. Just wow. The service was excellent as well. While it's not a full-service restaurant, the staff were incredibly friendly. They even welcomed my dog on the outdoor patio and brought him a bowl of ice water. The owner was kind and shared that everything is fresh, caught daily, and made to order--which explains the wait time for the steamed crabs and also what sets them apart from other places. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in the area and highly recommend it to anyone who truly appreciates top-quality seafood.

The casual seating and plenty of shaded outdoor space is a huge draw too! It's such a nice casual counter service, perfect for a family dinner after a beach day. However, I felt like the portions are cheap and the flavor is severely lacking. I think they cook everything and then add seasoning after cooking instead of cooking with it. I was chocking on tons of dry seasoning. With the amount of seasoning, it also lacked salt, so even though it had tons of seasoning, it still seemed bland. It was unreal. I won't be returning, but for cracking crabs and having something else to order for the non crab people at the table, it a good choice. I would not choose this place for getting a fish dish.

    Wow, thats what I've got for you folks wow…read more Lets start with ambiance, its cute here i loved it. Its a small, quaint little downstairs with more space upstairs. The decor is spot on, just so nice all around! Let's go on to the service. I'm going to shout out Caleb he was great all around very attentive. Answered all my annoying questions haha. Really fantastic. The wait times for food were just right, didn't take too long but didn't rush you. So now for me to talk way too much. OH MY GOD THE FOOD! This is easily the best food I've had in southern delaware. Hands down, full stop. I got a blackened catfish over a red beet salad. The fish was fresh! Yes fresh in February I'm impressed. The blackened seasoning was so good, just spicy enough to make me smile but not too spicy to be unpleasant. Flaky and perfectly cooked I was not disappointed in any way or another. How about the salad? Well, it was a kale salad which I'm not normally a fan of. But the elements of the salad were perfect, the toasted walnuts, the beets, apples, just everything about married in flawless harmony. Even my mother-in-law agreed the kale salad was great. 10/10, 5/5, whatever you want to call it this was an out of the park experience! Drinks, a new addition to my review this week haha. The bar tenders do a "great pour" per my wife and father-in-law. Me, I stick with non-alcoholic and oh man they nailed that too. This is just all good, like whole thing is great.

I will summarize my two most recent family dinners here during the Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends: Marlene took our 5:30 PM dinner reservation over the phone. I was here with my family of nine including two children for Friday night dinner after Thanksgiving day upstairs at a corner table. I started with my spicy margarita for $14. We also shared a bottle of Duckhorn Decoy Brut champagne for $52, which was reduced down to $26 by 50% off due to Friday 50% off on all wine bottles. The Decoy brut champagne was excellent. We also shared and enjoyed the crab dip for $21. We also shared and enjoyed three dozen raw oysters samplers for a total of $81. I also enjoyed my crispy duck confit special with pappardelle, basil pesto, fried onion and garlic chilli vinaigrette for $32. My total bill was $455 excluding gratuity. Morelia C. (nicknamed Mo) served us very well as usual despite us having two children. We first met Mo, when she bartended at the downstairs bar, when we were here prior for many Sunday afternoon happy hours. We returned here again with my larger family of 14 including five children for dinner on the Saturday after Christmas. We had a 5:30 PM dinner reservation. We were again seated immediately upstairs. I started with and enjoyed my two Makers Mark Manhattans up for $15 each. We also shared and enjoyed two dozen raw oysters samplers for $27 per dozen. We also ordered and enjoyed one dozen of the more expensive Raspberry Points for $48. Raspberry Point Oysters are premium, cold-water farmed oysters from Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada, prized for their firm meat, distinct briny flavor with a sweet finish, and deep cups, taking 5-7 years to mature in New London Bay's tidal waters. They're known for being easy to shuck and popular in gourmet settings due to their consistent quality and appealing salty-sweet profile. We also shared the calamari for $17 and the devilled eggs for $19. I also enjoyed my confit lamb shank for $38. Caleb M. served us very well despite us having five children. My total bill was $737 excluding gratuity. Caleb applied our Indian River High School band 10% discount to our bill, which reduced the total from $737 down to $663 excluding gratuity. On Sunday's our favorite bartender is Nick C. Nick said hello, when we visited during the Thanksgiving holiday. We will continue to return here with family and friends for happy hour, lunch or dinner.
