This this place has the best crab cakes we've ever had. Not just a little better, incredible crab cakes. Every bite has another massive chunk of crab meat in it. Very tasty.
We also got crab legs, which were delicious and lots of meat in them. My bacon-wrapped scallops were also phenomenal.
It's a small shop, from what I understand and old pizza place, so there's only four tables available, so keep that in mind, if you're looking to dine in. We liked this place so much, we are there twice within a 4 day trip to OC.
This place knocks it out of the park.

Stopped by this small local restaurant and tried their crab cakes. They were nicely cooked with a good amount of crab meat and not too much filler. The seasoning was subtle and the texture just right. Service was friendly, and the place had a relaxed, welcoming vibe. A solid choice if you're in the area and enjoy crab cakes.

Was looking for some place with crabcakes on one of our trips to ocean city and came across this place (and even though it didn't have many reviews- it was highly rated).

Located in the Food Lion parking lot off of the highway but we missed the turn the first time around. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot.

There isn't much seating, maybe 4-5 seats- I think most people carry-out. They close a bit on the earlier side (7pm).

First things first, their crab cake is packed with meat and a great value! Their hush puppies were *chefs kiss*.
We got the Crabcake and CrabLegs ($39), Crabcake and Scallops ($32) - which both came with a side. We got the Mac N Cheese- which was the epitome of comfort food, and the potato wedges- which was a bit of a let down, it seemed like it might've been old- cold as well.

The scallops came a bit later because they apparently read the ticket wrong but it was cold in the middle. We let them know, and they were apologetic and put the same thing we gave them back in the oven and gave it back to us. Appreciated the apology, but I think if we got new scallops (not the one we took a bite of and spit out) it would've been five stars.

Their drinks are not fountain and from a bottle.

Despite the little hiccups, would return and try again!
