This place is garbage. Got drinks then ordered and never saw anyone for 30min. Went to the bathroom, threw the kitchen and saw first hand the garbage they were making. Returned to the table and everything was over cooked. No cheese in 6 mozzarella sticks and the cheesesteak was dry and over cooked. The waitress didn't even argue as I walked out. This place needs serious management or ownership changes to succeed.

During our visit to Ocean City, we found Belly Busters to be the nearest open restaurant to our accommodations at 9 pm on a stormy night. I had a strong craving for fried oysters, and I was fortunate to find them on their menu. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and the interior had a welcoming and cozy ambiance.Upon entering, their staff warmly greeted us, seated us, and engaged in a pleasant conversation when they learned we were not locals and that it was my first time in Ocean City. The service was efficient and attentive.We ordered the seafood platter, Conch Fritters, and Fried Oysters. Of the three dishes, I found the Fried Oysters to be the most satisfying, which is what I had come for in the first place. However, the food fell short in some aspects; it was overcooked, dry, and had an excessive amount of batter. The Conch Fritters seemed to be more of fillers, lacking substantial conch pieces, and the sauces were somewhat bland.Considering the quality of the food, I would say that the prices were somewhat on the higher side. In fairness, we visited late at night during a storm, which may have affected the food quality. Nevertheless, I must commend them for their good service.

When we visited Ocean City, Belly Busters was the closest restaurant near our accomodations that was still open at 9pm on a stormy night. I was craving for fried oysters and luckily they have it on their menu. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and the atmosphere inside was bright and warm. When we came in their staff greeted us warmly, sat us at our table and took some time to chat with us when we shared that we are not locals and it was my first time in Ocean City. Their service was good and fast. We got the seafood platter, Conch Fritters and Fried Oysters, out of all the three I only liked the Fried Oysters - well this is what I cam here for. The food was over cooked, dry, and was heavy on the batter and the conch fritters are more of extenders and I didn't really see any conch pieces. The sauces were kinda bland too. For the quality of the food, I would say they are kinda pricey. To be fair, I am putting into consideration that we came here late and perhaps it was a stormy night as to why they might've fell short on my food expectations but I am still giving them credit for the good service.

Love this quaint, accommodating spot! The bartender was a hustler, great personality and everyone here was so friendly. Someone even gave me a crab. Thanks, dude! Cold, delicious craft beer, great tacos and all around chill vibe. Can’t wait to return.

My family and I went to belly busters today and had the best crabs ? of our entire life!! Our server Lisa went above and beyond!! She was so accommodating! She found an outlet to charge my daughters cellphone so we could enjoy our picking! And this was during a hurricane and she even made me a custom poncho so I wouldn’t get soaked getting back to my car! Everything was perfect!!!

Fast service. Great food. Kind employees. Fell upon this place and ended up coming the next day. I recommend coming here for lunch!We ordered chicken Cesar wrap, jerk chicken wrap, bbq wings, cheesesteak, fried shrimp platter, chicken parm sub
Belly Busters was a good find. This was our first visit, but we'll return next year. Prices are reasonable. Food was very good. We shared jalapeño poppers. They were stuffed with cheddar cheese and did not burn the skin off the roof of our mouths (nice temp). I had fish tacos. The toppings tasted fresh. My husband had the large meatball sub. It definitely busted his belly.

The food was ok. I had the conch fritters and oyster sandwich. The comparison may be unfair as I've had fritters in the Bahamas that were superb. I'm also from the ES of Maryland, so I'm quite likely biased toward our seafood, lol.The location is small with little to no parking, at least during high season. It was packed tight. Thankfully, I had a takeout order.The staff was very helpful, responsive and friendly and my order was ready when I arrived.I'd eat there again, although it wouldn't be my first choice, and I'd steer away from the seafood. But if you're looking for something quick, edible, it's a decent choice.Parking: There doesn't seem to be designated parking. There are a few slots off of the side street but competition is fierce, at least during high season and events.Wheelchair accessibility: There was a ramp. Parking is a little tricky.

Best soft shell crab sandwich I have ever eaten. Very meaty, lightly coated with flour before sautéing. Great, attentive service. Parking was a problem, but the food and service made it worth it.

The crab cakes were okay. Kind of watery. I definitely prefer broiled over deep fried. Cucumber salad was great! Favorite part of the meal. Potato salad tasted like it probably came pre-made from somewhere else.

I ? Belly Busters. Eating here is a MUST DO when you visit Ocean City!! They have phenomenal Crab Cakes and great Cheese Steak subs too. Everyone seems to love their fish tacos too!! ;In my opinion, it's better to have your food delivered than choose to carryout. Their delivery turn around time is surprisingly fast, but it takes twice as long when you are picking up. The restaurant is rather small, yet still extremely popular and busy. When you call to place an order it's very hard to hear from all of the background noise and you are usually put on hold for a few mins. Parking is rather difficult and it's even hard to squeeze yourself into the place to pick up your food. Still, all of the staff are friendly, and they make it a point to remember returning customers. If your food isn't ready, you can enjoy a nice cold beer while you're waiting.I highly recommend Belly Busters. Anyone who vacations at the beach should check the place out if they want to have a true OC experience!! It may be busy and small but is full of HEART ?! The atmosphere represents everything that OC is. Everyone is so laid back, cool, calm and fun. You can look at any customer and see the satisfaction on their face. The owner is one of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet and he has every reason to be proud of his establishment.
