The Crab Bag Restaurant - Ocean City

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. The cornbread 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 check them out and be sure to sit in Cat 's section.

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's worth. It was a little spicy, with all of the seasoning, but no complaints! Then we finished off with monkey bread, which is sweet and delicious! An all around good meal was had by all!

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 crab imperial. (Oh and the hostess was friendly!

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 to figure out where to enter and you walk by garbage cans and kitchen stuff that looks messy. When we found the hostess she put us on 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 out while we waited. We asked if there was a bar and she gave us some vague directions that were confusing and said there was a bar in either building. Kind of strange that bars weren?t on the ground floors for people to have a drink while they are waiting for their table. It took several wrong turns before we found the bar. No signs up with directions or help from employees. Once we found 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 he seemed like he didn?t care much about helping anyone. It took several requests to get waters with our drinks and when the food came neither he nor the food runner brought us plates, napkins, silverware or asked if we needed anything else. We had to ask for each item individually so it was annoying to keep waiting while our food was getting cold. The food was not bad, we gave it a 4. However, we only had the steamed spiced shrimp and old bay seasoned fries. We chose this place because they had seared scallops and steamed shrimp. We were sad to find out that they were out of scallops so we opted for the shrimp only. The shrimp was tasty and fresh but slightly over cooked and came out a bit cold. It had definitely sat there for awhile before it was brought up. I ordered a creamsicle crush. The bartender did make it very well. Tasted just like a creamsicle. So many good places to eat in this area. Check out another spot!

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 wipe it 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 offer works. I had to ask the Bartender for boxes because we were ready to go. The bathrooms are small and needs updated! I loved the decor, the outside vibe and there was a hopscotch drawn outside leading to the hostess stand. They were nice girls. Food was tasty so we will return in the future with an Electric Flyswatter!!! ?
