A bit of a tourist trap. Crab cakes and loaded bloody marys are great but any food beyond that is lack luster. Service also could be better with a guaranteed service charge they seem to do the bare minimum

We had the large classic crab cake, so delicious. It was all crab, best I ever had. We also had the waygu brisket, tender and seasoned perfect with a touch of BBQ sauce. We also had the waygu steak kebab, so good. French fries are fresh cut home made and the chips are as well. Great service, def will go back! I wish i liked bloody Mary's, they looked in incredible.

To say this place was amazing is an understatement. The food was absolutely delicious and came out in a timely fashion. Our server was extremely helpful and friendly. Attached is a picture of the mini threat. It was a meal and a drink all in one. If you're looking for some good food in the Ocean City area, I highly recommend trying this place.

This place really surprised me. It was really crowded but the wait was not very long at all. The food was awesome, I had crab cake and ribs and these were the best real lump crab cakes I've had in Ocean City to date in 30 years. The ribs were huge, falling off the bone and delicious. The squash and fried green tomatoes were amazing. Nachos were really good too. Great place, will definitely be coming back again. Kid friendly options as well. The service was also superb. Highly recommend.

For a bar it was decent. Of course I tried their amazing Bloody Mary. I was NOT disappointed and the Service was friendly. I definitely recommend it.

Food was mediocre at best. Tried one location and was not at all impressed. Gave the benefit of the doubt an tried OC WEST location… Disappointing… however, my server was pleasant and friendly. #

Ordered imperial stuffed rockfish with loaded baked potato and slaw. The crab imperial part was good but the fish was very overcooked and unseasoned. Also, the potato had half slices of bacon instead of crumble and the cheese was a solid melted blob that seemed like it had been sitting in a steam tray for hours. And the slaw was like sweet cabbage soup! The crab dip was good but they served it with tortilla chips. I don't think I'll be going back.

When Crowded, you might get the impression that the OG Crab Cake Factory appears to be one notch above a dive bar, but don't let that stop you. I've always had great meals but Breakfast is another level.If you want breakfast and drinks, this is a Hidden Jem of OC. The Bloody Mary's are World Famous, but don't miss their hearty breakfast skillets. The Steak, Egg and CheeseWiz breakfast sub is a fun option as well.

Well this is our first time visit here from San Diego, CA. and we did the boardwalk, the next thing here is crabcakes, I had crabby cheese fries, my wife had shrimp /fries and our friend had Quesadillas with crab, all very good and tasty , well prepared. Service was excellent, waitress was very friendly, the dining area was nice with a sport's bar looks. So if you're visiting here in Ocean city, Maryland, stop by .

Incredible Bloody Marys...a must go for the experience. It really is an amazing deal for the price.

Was seriously disappointed. For all the hype it was seriously overpriced. The "tarter sauce" tasted like no love was put into it, crab cake had shells in it, got chips instead of fries, and I had to go backwards up the ramp cause too many benches and a big palm tree pot in my way! It is quite obvious this place doesn't care about people with physical disabilities or people who need 5 minutes of help, I won't ever be returning again!

Let's get straight to the most important part- crab cake is very good and on point. Service was friendly and quick. So yes, we will return. The peel and eat "Old Bay" shrimp were a big let down-- soggy and tasteless- and the vegetable side was corn on the cob in February- save it for the summer when you can source local, don't insult your customers with a summer side in the depth of winter. But nice atmosphere and I'll try again next time around.
