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 dip was delicious! Green beans weren’t the tastiest. Snow crab legs were also great but could use more seasoning. Our waiter was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We sat upstairs on the deck and it was peaceful and nice. The plate which served my chicken had many scratches and could be updated. The entire place was outdated a bit. However, it was alright and the food is what matters!

Some of the best crab legs I’ve ever had! Definitely one of the more pricy restaurants we visited on this trip but the food was fresh and tasty. Would recommend!

We visited on Saturday for the snow crab leg feast and it was delicious. Corn on the cob was not available since it is out of season so they offered other side dishes. The amount of food received for 2 was just enough. The cost is still $145 and worth every penny. We will be back.
