    "If you love crabs and haven't been to Crabbys, what are you waiting for? We started off with crab soup. It was so good I almost forgot to take a picture. That's why the cup is half gone. So good. A dozen steamef little neck clams were next. Also tender and delicious. four large crabs were next yum. The order of aoli crab fries was so good. Dessert started before I could snap a picture. It was a dish loaded with sweet strawberries, a large scoop of sour cream, and brown sugar to roll the sour cream coated berries into. It's also amazing. Highly recommend . All three of us enjoyed a great meal."

    "This food is delicious. Can't go wrong with seafood. But if your in the jersey shore area. I suggest stopping in. Drinks are made delicious and you taste what you order actually. The food does the talking. Never a meal not succulent. Melts in you mouth. The flavors and taste are to die for."

    "Great place. Family was staying in ocean city and we made a half an hour drive to come here. Our waitress was Tracy and she was great. Food was nothing short of amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious."

    "This is my favorite seafood spot. First off, I've been coming here for over 25 years, and I've been here plenty of times, this is my first actual review. Truth is this is the best place at the shore to find fresh seafood cooked to order, depending on when you stop in, you may find an AYCE special, this past Sunday was Blue Claws, it always changes, as sometimes it's Snow Crab as I've seen in the off-season. I tend to always stick with my favorites, for me it's the Littleneck steamers to start and a 1.5 lb of Dungeness crabs and dirty fries. I also recommend that make sure to ask your waitress about the $ Dollar Bills $ that are tacked to the ceiling and you'll understand why there are so many of them up there, as they always pay it forward here. Definitely, worth the visit and it's easy to see why this place is a favorite."

    "Two of my besties bragged about this place to me and I said on my next day off I was going to venture out to see what all the fuss was about Well, I was pleasantly surprised, and equally impressed. Now it's kind of a hole in the wall, but in a very good way. I was warmly greeted by customers coming out as I was walking in. I was greeted with a big smile and I felt very welcomed. I was immediately ushered to a two-seater table by the window, and charmed with my favorite starter beverage "unsweetened iced tea w/lemon (which btw was very well brewed). Crabby's is a pretty diverse and inclusive environment, meaning no one seemed judgy. I ordered six large crabs, fries and slaw. The crabs were amazing! They were very well seasoned but not overwhelmingly spicy or anything like that, just plain old good. My fries were fresh cut nothing from a frozen bag, and the coleslaw was homemade (Yum). I went in on everything ha ha. I didn't have time to fight with the claws, so I broke him off and set them to the side which they gave me a box at the end to carry them home for round two later on. If what I experienced today is the norm for this place, I will be back again and again. I am already bragging about it to other friends so I'm sure I won't be alone next time, but the type of person I am, I don't wait for anyone whether I'm with friends or alone I will be back! Thank you so much for all of your kindness, delicious good quality offerings, and for being such a diverse place that welcomes all. See you again soon. Crabby's..So Worth the drive"
