Reviews for Crab Bag in Ocean City, MD
We had the conch fritters to start, and they were crispy and delicious, especially with the sauce. For the main course I had the... shrimp pot, and it came with a ton of shrimp. It was the first restaurant on Ocean City, where I felt like I got my money'sworth. It was a little spicy, with all of the seasoning, but no complaints! Then we finished off with monkey bread, which issweet and delicious! An all around good meal was had by all! Read more
This was my first time visiting Crab Bag. Waited a very long time to get seats and food - the food and service were... alright. This evening, my friends and I ordered the raw oysters, eastern seafood garden salad, salmon dinner platter and crabimperial. (Oh and the hostess was friendly!) Read more
I?d average this place at 3.5 stars. It?s huge and disorganized. The layout, staff and organization get a 3, which is... kind. When you walk up you realize there are 2 separate buildings made into one restaurant. It?s kind of confusing trying tofigure out where to enter and you walk by garbage cans and kitchen stuff that looks messy. When we found the hostess she put uson the waitlist. She didn?t mention we could eat at the bar if there was seating and didn?t even suggest we go and hang outwhile we waited. We asked if there was a bar and she gave us some vague directions that were confusing and said there was a barin either building. Kind of strange that bars weren?t on the ground floors for people to have a drink while they are waiting fortheir table. It took several wrong turns before we found the bar. No signs up with directions or help from employees. Once wefound it we were told we could eat there so we decided to do that and not have to wait. The bartender was pretty busy but heseemed like he didn?t care much about helping anyone. It took several requests to get waters with our drinks and when the foodcame neither he nor the food runner brought us plates, napkins, silverware or asked if we needed anything else. We had to askfor each item individually so it was annoying to keep waiting while our food was getting cold. The food was not bad, we gave ita 4. However, we only had the steamed spiced shrimp and old bay seasoned fries. We chose this place because they had searedscallops and steamed shrimp. We were sad to find out that they were out of scallops so we opted for the shrimp only. The shrimpwas tasty and fresh but slightly over cooked and came out a bit cold. It had definitely sat there for awhile before it wasbrought up. I ordered a creamsicle crush. The bartender did make it very well. Tasted just like a creamsicle. So many goodplaces to eat in this area. Check out another spot! Read more
Food was GREAT! We didn't enjoy the MULTIPLE Flies buzzing around us and our food! That's why we sat INSIDE! I can tell we... didn't get the best server, he was chewing and had food on his face when he greeted us and I politely gave him a napkin to wipeit off. He was gone for long periods of time and we noticed we didn't get the brown paper roll over our tables like others did,so I used the table brown paper towels to cover ours. He also didn't know ANYTHING about how the Shipping service they offerworks. I had to ask the Bartender for boxes because we were ready to go. The bathrooms are small and needs updated! I loved thedecor, the outside vibe and there was a hopscotch drawn outside leading to the hostess stand. They were nice girls. Food wastasty so we will return in the future with an Electric Flyswatter!!! ???? Read more
Had the snow crab steam pots, shrimp, crab dip and old bay fries. Crab legs a bit soggy, corn was tough, potatoes and onions... we're good. Shrimp was good. Crab dip was good but bread was toasted so hard it barely broke apart. Service was good. Overallexperience could have been better. A little pricey also as bill was 244.00. There is much better fare in OC to try. Read more
It was good but not what I expected. We came from KY and looked forward to some real Maryland crab. Which we got! Just not... nearly as flavorful as what I?m used to even just making it at home from frozen. There is also no child sized Mac n cheese -which means every child at the table (4) wanted a $30 bowl of Mac n cheese. Read more
The Crab Bag has been around for a long time, but I never knew about it until yesterday. It's a great place to eat during the... pandemic because it has lots of outdoor seating. I came with a party of friends and family. They rearranged the tables so wecould all sit together, and they seated us promptly. Our server, Ryan, was attentive and efficient. We had two dozen steamedcrabs. They were prepared perfectly. We asked if they were Maryland blue crabs. Ryan told us that the Chesapeake Bay was notyielding good crabs this season so these blue crabs were sourced from Louisiana. They were hefty, meaty and delicious. I hadcream of crab soup, excellent. The Maryland crab soup was also excellent. Oddly, at the end of the meal, our server told usthat they don't serve desert or coffee. That's OK. We all enjoyed our meals. I recommend the Crab Bag.

Experience Matters! I visited this restaurant based on the Google reviews. I'm glad I did. I got the shrimp/crab bag. The... contents were hot, yet the bag was light on seasoning. The shrimp were savory, but the potatoes were undercooked. Thecornbread that you see in the picture was succulent and I'm not even a cornbread fan. I loved it! On Caitlyn "Cat" (Server) -If there was a picture for Excellence in Customer Service, she'd be the poster child. Professional, kind, genuine,knowledgeable, excellence in multitasking, and very attentive are just a few words to describe this exceptional young woman. I watched & listened to her interactions. She treated every one as if they were her only patron at the time. Please checkthem out and be sure to sit in Cat's section. Read more
