Jay's Crab Shack is a small seafood restaurant in Ocean City with friendly and respectful service. The food is good, with generous portions and fresh fish, including popular dishes like the crab cake sandwich and beer battered shrimp. The restaurant offers hot, well-seasoned food served piping hot, which is a rare find. Fries are served hot and crispy, with options like plain fries or Old Bay fries that guests enjoy. The kid's menu is wonderful, and the crabcake burgers are a highlight. The atmosphere is very casual and surfer-inspired, reminiscent of surfer Spicoli from 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,' giving it a fun and laid-back vibe. The indoor dining area is cozy, and there are outdoor tables for al fresco dining. The staff is attentive and helpful, knowledgeable about the menu and accommodating special requests. The restroom is clean and well-stocked, reflecting good sanitation practices. The restaurant also does a brisk takeout business, making it convenient for quick meals. It is accessible enough for wheelchair users and offers some vegetarian options, like cucumbers. Overall, Jay's Crab Shack is a friendly, casual place with delicious, fresh food that is reasonably priced and worth visiting.
