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.

Fried Oysters
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.

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!

Fresh Oysters Appetizer
Wanted to try a new restaurant and decided to give Crab Alley a try for dinner. It was a nice evening so we sat outside on the upper deck. We ordered some drinks and got shrimp tacos (with a side of hush puppies) and flounder with baked potato and green beans. Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly and generous portions. Split a red velvet Smith Island cake for dessert. Service was quick and friendly. Bill was reasonable. Definitely looking forward to going back again to try some of their other dishes.

Great food! Medium crabs were sweet and full. Sat in an open indoor area and listened to good music. Grace, our waiter, was a true gem!

Snow Crab Feast for Two
The venue is not fancy. It is rather family-friendly. They do have all you can eat Maryland blue crabs, we did not get them. We both got the $10 cream of crab soup, which is a glorified cup. The soup was obviously "broken" (a term that anyone with cooking experience understands) you could also say it was split as puddles of butter (or margarine) floated on top of the soup...so the texture was not right. I got the stuffed shrimp that came with 2 sides, I got baked potato and green beans. The shrimp was cooked (I believe, on a skewer. To get the crab nicely browned, the shrimp needed to be overcooked, apparently. The potato came with whipped "spread", whatever that is. Cheaper than butter I'm sure, but just not right. And my green beans came much later, fresh, good, but late. My wife got the founder which was very good. The hush puppies, although pre-fab, were good. We were told the kitchen was working with 6 instead of 12 workers. Waitress was fine but at the mercy of the kitchen. Likelihood of going back...50%.

So I have to be honest and say I was not pleased and will not return again.
In the beginning things were fine. Our waiter was pleasant the place was pretty busy but everything seemed to be going smoothly. I ordered the crab soup mix but the Maryland crab alone was better. I ordered the crab feast for 2 at $125. Came with 3 crab clusters 2 ears of corn and two soups & few shrimp. The crabs WERE NOT CLEANED PROPERLY. I added a photo to show. This turned my kids off from the entire rest of their meal. I had the flounder crab imperial. Wasn’t much flavor & a little runny. The fish was fresh though. The lime crush drink was good. I also ordered the clams casino but it just tasted plain with cheese. I’m really disappointed in the amount I paid for the overall quality of the food.
