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.

So the food was amazing! 🤩 Abby R. was our waitress, she was amazing! 🥰 She was great with making sure our drinks were refilled. 🍹 She even helped my daughter with her crabs. 🦀 The restaurant is very clean. 💯 The bathrooms were put together. 🚽 Will definitely recommend this place! 👍 if you're looking for a place this one is the one to go too!!! #Food #Waitress #Drinks #Restaurant #Bathroom

Excellent dinning experience. Super expensive but such is the nature of seafood in general.
The place was packed but despite this the service was brisk and got everyone's order correct.
Would definitely come back.
Oh! The bathrooms suck though. Specifically the 2nd floor bathroom. I get it. It's more for the bar folks. But try taking a toddler with you and then it gets real.

From the moment we walked in, Food Alley impressed. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively, with just the right mix of casual comfort and attention to detail. The staff greeted us with smiles, guided us through the menu, and kept things flowing without ever feeling rushed.
The food truly delivered on flavour and quality. We sampled a variety of dishes, stand-outs included a richly spiced entrée with bold seasoning, and a fresh side that tasted thoughtfully prepared, not just something thrown together. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and well-presented.
