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.

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.

I want to hear I think a month ago I was there on vacation for the weekend in Ocean City Maryland. I wanted to have seafood really badly so I went to crab Alley and their food is amazing delicious. Their service is super good. The girls are really nice and everything. I went there with my family, we all got seafood, except my brother, of course but their food is a 10 out of 10. Delicious definitely if I can go back there I would go back cause their food is really good.
I don’t have any photos too badly. I think I forgot to take photos but you do have to wait. We had to wait for like 10 to 20 minutes-ish. They are definitely 100% busy but super good place & worth waiting to wait to go sit down and eat.
