OCM Crabs

Simply the best crabs in OC. Great service too. We go often and they rarely disappoint. Great to eat in or take them to go. Also, love their fries too. Sprinkled with old bay. Can be a bit pricey with jumbos @ $ 105 per dozen but what isn’t overpriced in OC. Good find, highly recommend.

Their crabs were so meaty and delicious! Best I’ve ever had left! The staff was having a great time, which made the experience even better

There are so many crab houses in and around OC but this one is by far– the best one we have found! Leave the nitchy crab houses and visit this one for sure!
The service is excellent, friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is very «beachy» and relaxed; exactly what we were looking for!
You can tell how fresh the crabs are as if they were just caught! The prices are reasonable! So happy we stumbled upon the best crab house in OC!

I had a hankering for Blue Crabs and took a drive down the Coastal Highway to get me a bushel.
OCM is an authentic fish shack. They have a casual restaurant and a take out area. The staff is super friendly and I didn’t have to wait too long for my food.
I had:
— A Dozen Crabs — very tasty, covered in Old Bay
— Crab Deviled Eggs — tasty — I didn’t think I would like this as much as I did
— Crab Cake — the hubby enjoyed
— Potato Salad — tasty, heavy on the mayo
They give you a roll of butcher paper so you don’t have to destroy your table when beating your crabs.

This place is awesome. The crabs are well season and HUGE… After seeing the size of those crabs, it will be hard to go home (NYC) and by large crabs. We are so being fooled.
I would definitely return for crabs…

Great crabs with great flavor! Right along the strip, very small place with really flavorful, good size crabs at a great «all you can eat» price. The crabs we had were a little over steamed but it wasn’t crowded on a Saturday night in OC which is really rare! The ONE thing I REALLY had an issue with were the FLIES! We sat outside which — even with the breeze — turned out to be a bad move. Never in my LIFE have I eaten crabs (or anything else for that matter) outdoors and had so many flies around!!! They. were. everywhere. I couldn’t stop swatting them away and we even had to try keeping the shells bucket at the other end of the table in hopes that the 20 – 30 or so flies would stay there instead of all over our food/​hands. I couldn’t even take the time to really enjoy my crabs. I just picked through them as fast as I could so that I could get away from them. So, in season, I suggest eating inside unless the restaurant springs for some fans around the deck.

We were just visiting from Chicago and tried you out for the first time. Had an AWSOME time, crabs great and reasonable BUT we will def return not only for crabs but for our food server CINDY B. She made our night !!! So much fun, friendly, down to earth and a terrific waitperson. Give that woman a big hug and a bigger raise! See you again for sure and will make sure Cindy is our server!

Great low key place in OC to get steamed crabs. Fair price and calm cozy setting with Excellent seafood. Service has always been great too.

Don’t come here before June, they have a minimal amount of food available on their already small menu.

Really good! The staff was really friendly and everything seemed very fresh too!

We LOVE OCMCrabs. We were sad when the previous business (Bagels N Buns) in this location closed — until we tried OCMCrabs and we haven’t missed an overpriced bagel since! Definitely our favorite newer place in OCMD. We went the last two summers in a row (2014 and 2015) and both summers we came back multiple times. It’s near our timeshare, but with so many choices nearby, this was still our favorite. We love that you can choose which size crabs to order so you don’t have to eat small crabs if you don’t want to. I am happy to splurge on big crabs for our one week at the beach all year! The sides are so yummy (the hush puppies and clam strips are a hit with our kids) and my husband LOVED the BBQ they added last summer. Hands down his favorite ribs in all of OCMD (if not all of MD!). Definitely check this place out. I would love to see wine added to the menu!

Crabs were fresh, reasonably priced, and had enough spice to taste but not overwhelm the actual crab. The service was excellent — we came late, but never felt rushed and everyone was super friendly. Will be back!

Great place. We had steamed shrimp and crab cake. The owner was very kind and gave us a lesson on eating crabs. Definitely recommend.

Based solely on my experience with the all you can eat crabs as the other members of our party got various other (fried) menu items.
They have all you can eat crabs for $ 30. I couldn’t pass it up. But my time was cut short by having 2 young children who become quickly bored after they have finished eating.
I was only able to consume 2 orders but they were delicious. Without the kids on board, I probably would have been there until they stopped serving me.
The service was quick and our waitress was very attentive.
They only have beer and wine, no cocktails.
I’ll definitely stop back the next time we’re in town.

Came down to OC, MD for steamed blue crabs and got exactly what I wanted. This place had nice and juicy plump crab meat. It’s a casual dining spot — a roll of paper towels, a bucket, and some mallets on every table. Throw in great service and they earn the full five stars!

Very casual place. Picnic table seating outside. Snow crabs were very good. They also have good BBQ French fries sprinkled with oh bay seasoning were very good. Everything was fresh

One of the best sea food mom and pop places I’ve been to. Me and my girlfriend got the all you can eat crabs. Food was great. Service was second to none. Would highly recommend. Don’t be turned away buy the old building. Great experience!!!

This place was quickly becoming a «go to» place for crabs in Ocean City, but after tonight’s meal (7÷4÷15), I will not be returning. We ordered two dozen medium crabs for four of us, which were fine. The trouble started when we wanted another dozen. Service had been acceptable, although we did have to bus our own table, but we had extreme difficulty getting our waitress’ attention for an additional order. The crabs came and seemed small for the premium price. I was embarrassed to ask the manager, but when we did ask, he made a big show of coming to our table and measuring all remaining crabs; some didn’t measure up. The manager made a big deal out of something that honestly, I was embarrassed to point out. Oh, and we were charged full price for the entire meal. I will not be returning as this has now become a «don’t go to» place for me.
The french fries are good.

Their crabs are perfect-​they never disappoint. Highly recommend them since the owner gets them delivered everyday by local fisherman. However I do not recommend their crabcakes. its mostly filler and not enough lump crab meat

We ate here last night. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean with a variety of seating areas to choose from.
We all did the AYCE crabs. The price was great — $ 25– and the additions a la cart style was nice. Corn on the cob was delicious! The crabs were medium to large sized and full of meat. They were coated in old bay but it wasn’t too much or too little.
I strongly recommend this place. Great environment and food!
