We went to the Fenwick Crab trying to get away from all the motorcycles from Bike Week. It was pleasantly quiet. The steamed shrimp was called spicy shrimp on the menu. We did enjoy it but spicy would have been more preferred. The Fried Chicken was good. My brother enjoyed the crab cakes. I had the snow crab legs and they were quite good. Fenwick crab house was a place we would go during trips to Ocean City so it did not disappoint and the fact that it was quiet was nice.

Went here while on vacation during labor day weekend & we were impressed by the service & food! I ordered the Fenwick feast & it was huge & so yummy. Our waitress Christy showed me how to crack open & eat the full crabs 🦀 (never ate them before😅). She was very friendly to my kids too. They liked coloring on the paper table covering while we waited for our food. Food was great, service was too, & really affordable prices! I would definitely recommend & go back to this restaurant.

Absolutely love this place! It was our first time here, and we were treated like family. Our server Sean/Shawn was one of the best overall Servers ever. He was so personable, friendly, fun, and knowledgeable of the entire menu. We loved him! Will definitely be back again.??

Shawn is an amazing addition to the staff. He is so friendly and full of personality. If he suggests something off the menu…..ORDER IT! You won’t be disappointed. He was attentive and he made our first visit so fun. We will definitely be back next time we are here on vacation

Crabs were very good and the price was fair. Hush puppies were delicious. The server was very friendly and helpful. I've been coming here since the 60s so I confess that I miss the tacky 50s decor and the model train which ran under the ceiling throughout the restaurant. Our favorite vacation restaurant for steamed Old Bay crabs!
We’ve been ordering crabcakes for takeout every year for the last 23 years. The crabcakes we purchased this year were about as good as any crabcake anywhere else in the country. Nothing special. Crabcakes used to be full of lump crab meat. Now they are filled with breading. So disappointed.
EDITED TO RESPOND TO OWNER: You may not have changed your recipe, but the people making them have. These crabcakes were awful and overpriced. I would compare them to anything one could find in the freezer section of a low end grocery store. They didn’t look the same, didn’t taste the same. They were simply not the same crabcakes. Not the quality we have come to expect over the last 23 years.

We went in the evening quite near closing in hindsight. The staff must have been exhausted but it didn't show. Our waitress was extremely helpful and nice. We had a platter of different steamed seafood and everything was great! The shrimp was brilliant, the crab was fresh. These were our favourites. Secret tip: try the key lime pie!

This is a hard one to review. Been there numerous times and each time always different. Sometimes it's great and sometimes just awful. This last time Our food came stone cold...all of it died at the pass is my guess. Took forever and a day as we watched people around us come sit down after us , order, and eat , while we waited . One table actually finished and paid the check..... as we waited patiently. Never complained once and just sucked up the loss.Our drinks were awesome . On another note... every time EXCEPT this one ,the fried Chicken was the BEST in OC.
