On the Bay Seafood is a seafood shack in Ocean City. Don't let the appearance fool you, this is some of the best seafood you can get in the area. The steamed shrimp and stuffed crab specials are great. I've been here a few times across a 10 year span and each time was great. They have been great for a long time.The prices are good and they serve a lot of people quickly.

Terrible food! They boast top 10% in the country!? In what? Definitely not their food. Crab bisque was watery and bland, soggy French fries, their were 6 of us and no one was satisfied with their food. Left hungry and irritated. Don't waste your money.

This place probably has one of the best quality-to-price ratios in OC and it's unpretentious and relaxing. My crab cake platter was great: good lump crab with a bit of binder (a little creamy, but I liked that), good cole slaw and boardwalk fries. My husband's fried oysters were good, not too mushy. The vibe is very beachy and laid back since there's only outdoor seating, sand under the tables, and you order at a counter. The servers are friendly and helpful. The two owners were there working the whole time we were there, so hats off to them. We would definitely go back the next time we're in OC!

Outside beach experience sitting under a tent while eating seafood.They give u several options for seafood.Wait staff are very friendly n make suggestions on what's good n what's not. They call u by name and seem to remember it, although they have other customers. They have free parking. Food is pretty good as well.

Delicious, fun and casual seafood dig that has outdoor seatings with paper mats and buckets to throw away your crab remains. The calamari was mediocre but the butterfly shrimp was good. The coleslaw and potato sides were good too. We got the med/large blue crabs which were pretty decent in size.

Service was fast and atmosphere is casual, no one bothers you, take as long as you want. But the food was just not good. My scallops were chewy/gummy and my husband’s crab cakes had big pieces of
Great little spot, have been coming to ocean city for 30 years and haven’t eaten here and I regret not coming sooner. The best pasta salad and hush puppies I’ve ever eaten. Their fried shrimp were so good it was hard to stop eating them.

Stopped in for a late lunch early dinner. Food was fresh and tasty. My wife was eating shrimp and one shot some jui5in her eye and the server seen it and brought out water and clean towels to help out. Very attentive to the people. Will definitely be back. My 12 year old even loved it.Parking: They have room for about 20 cars.Kid-friendliness: They have you seated in a sandy area with kid toys like you are on a beach. Even have a kids menu.

Ok, everyone. Don't leave until you try this spot! There is parking on both sides of the establishment. But it's tight. So be careful. We had the fried flounder platter. You get 2 sides with it. The staff were friendly and helpful with you selecting your food. They sell crabs there, too! They have outdoor seating. We will be back again.Parking: It's tricky. Just be careful. They do have free side parking. Which is convenient.

Anniversary Diner & Calamari and clam strips were over cooked & had to wait 20 minutes in line to place order & another 20 minutes before food was ready. Definitely need to expand location and hire more people so food is prepared properly. $30 wasted. Definitely isn’t worth having a 4.5 star rating.
