Featuring the Finest in crabs, lobsters, fresh fish and other delicious specialties, Crab Alley opened in 1984 on 9th Street in Ocean City, Maryland. Offering the freshest seafood anywhere in town, it was a favorite spot of locals and tourists alike. It resided there until 1994 when a fire on the boardwalk burned down the original building. In May of 1995, Crab Alley reopened in West Ocean City overlooking the commercial fishing harbor. Our new location offers the same superior quality seafood and service with plenty of free parking, a fresh seafood market, more seating and a great view from our outdoor deck.

Crab Alley is a great place to eat all you can eat crabs in Ocean City, MD. Thanks to a friend for the suggestion. Our party had all you can eat crabs, oysters on the half shell, rack of ribs, crab cake, and scallops. Not one of us was disappointed with our meal. We watched college football while eating. We saw boats coming and going from our seats. It was a great experience and off the beaten path, which was nice, since the car show was in town. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Crab Alley! Highly recommend for 🦀! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Will definitely go visit there again!

When in Ocean City, one must eat steamed crabs. So we got some for dinner during our last night there. We originally were going to try another place but, asked someone for their recommendation and they said Crab Alley. Happy we listened to her.

Immediately greeted and seated when we arrived. Our waitress was super cool, attentive, helpful and had a good sense of humor (she had us laughing a few times). We already had our mind set of steamed crabs, but had to figure out what way of ordering it made most sense. We ended up going with the All-you-can-eat option with sides, which were fried chicken, steamed shrimp, corn on the cob and hush puppies. We also got calamari as an appetizer. When I say we ate good - WE ATE GOOD! As expected, all the seafood items were fresh and cooked perfectly. When the crabs came out, his eyes got so big with excitement lol. Well seasoned, perfectly steamed and good size (think they only do one size for all you can eat). The fried chicken and hush puppies were also really good; I'm sometimes hesitant on eating hush puppies because of how they are cooked, but these were perfect. We also ordered a couple of drinks that were decent sized ones and mixed very well.

All in all, a great spot for crabs and seafood. Would go here again when visiting and would recommend others to check them out.

The crab was nice and sweet and we had oysters on the half shell. They are fresh and super good. I definitely recommend for a great price and a local atmosphere with a bar upstairs and a dining room downstairs. You can’t go wrong good for families or if you want to get a drink.It wasn’t.
