Whenever we vacation here again, we will be back!! thank you Eric for the hospitality!!!! we don’t get crab this good back in Ohio ”
“ Very limited seating. They mostly do takeout. We always make it a point to go every year and have never been disappointed. Check hours of operation. Especially in the off season. I think all of their deserts are homemade. Delicious! ”
“ *2025 update: stopped by during my trip to OC again this year and the food was still just as delicious. Fried oysters are an absolute must and just as tasty as I remembered from my visit last year Stopped by this establishment for some lunch before leaving OC and am super glad I did. Ordered the fried oysters and the soft shell crab sandwich for takeout. The fried oysters were some of the most plump and delicious fried oysters I've ever had and the cocktail sauce that came along with it was very flavorful without overpowering the oysters. The soft shell crab sandwich with crabcake was also packed with meat. The owner was very pleasant and I could tell they care deeply about their food in conversation! ”
“ Best. Food. Ever. If you are in Ocean City this place is a MUST STOP. Best cheesesteak *not pictured* ive ever had even warmed up later. The crabcake was incredible. No filler packed with flavor. The cream of crab soup was filled with lump crabmeat in every bite. The chicken parm sub is a masterpiece. Everything about this place was 1000/10. You can tell the food is made is great care and love and WELL WORTH THE WAIT! The owners are friendly and hilarious! Overheard a story of a group the drove 4 HOURS just to try it and I definitely understand why. You have got to try OC Uptown Eats. ”
“ We came and ordered takeout -- jumbo lump crab cake, softshell crab sandwich, and cream of crab soup. Everything was prepared and packed promptly and we liked all the dishes. The cream of crab soup had a lot of lump crab meat and the crab cakes were similarly just about only crab meat. It's a small restaurant, primarily for takeout, but there are a few tables outside. ”
“ We visited OC from NJ and were thankful to find Uptown Eats open even in the middle of winter. We ordered the JJ and Tom Tom sandwiches as well as the fried oysters. This was easily one of the best softshell crab sandwiches I've ever had. They hand make every crab cake fresh for your order. The fried oysters were perfect and my wife loved the Tom Tom cheesesteak sandwich and said it was definitely on par with those from Philly. Eric the owner was great, super nice guy that'll chat with you while you wait and didn't even want payment until after we finished eating! We'll definitely be back when we visit OC. ”
“ The best crab cakes I have ever had! No filler, all lump crab meat, and perfectly seasoned all throughout. Owners truly care about the quality of their food and take pride in excellent service. I would give a higher rating if I could. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! ”
