On my 2 trips to Ocean City, we've eaten here both times at least once. Searched high and low and asked many many people- Being from Western NY... there are no great restaurants in my area for seafood. We like to eat what is local when we vacation- After asking many people we were told Bahama Mama's was the place to go for the best crab in Ocean City. The restaurant was great- you could eat indoors or outdoors.. We chose outdoors-- the table we sat at gave us a beautiful view of the bay. A great ocean breeze and it was quieter outside than in. What better place to eat crab then outside to enjoy the whole feel of the beach. We when we ordered we were told that crabs were priced by weight-- that way you got what you paid for... Crabs are separated into 4 groups, small, medium, large and extra large- $29/dozen for small up to $69/dozen extra large. OK so a bit pricey for a Western NY girl--- but they were so worth it- We went for the dozen of Large-- There were 3 of us ladies- We also got corn on the cob, bbq chicken, and veggies.. The meal was great! The servers were so wonderful as well as the service--- A plastic pail was brought to us to put the shells when we finished-- this was neat--- and it was emptied frequently so that we weren't overcome with shells.. I laughed when the brought us a roll of paper towels--- I noticed they did this for people who ordered crabs... When we finished (we ordered another dozen of large crabs) I was surprised at how many paper towels we used-- that a great idea after all we all said. So anyways the restaurant got a 4 star review from us... Truly the best crabs we've had anywhere-- and the best view too. If you take a trip to Ocean City.. be sure to check out Bahama Mama's... Its well worth the cost! http://www.oceancity.com/dining/restaurant.php/id/9

Bahama Mama’s Restaurant is located at Wicomico Street and the Bay and has purportedly the best view of the Atlantic Ocean, the town of Ocean City, the Inlet and Ponies of the Assateague Island, the commercial harbor, Route 50 Bridge and the Marlin Marina, all from a window table at the restaurant. They have a crab deck and Tiki Bar where you can sit and look out at the sunset while eating. Highly recommended. If you are a crab fan, call to reserve a jumbo crab and it will have your name on it when you arrive. Live entertainment is included with the price of the meal every evening and night. Dinners are reasonably priced and include clams, jumbo fried shrimp, oysters, filet of flounder, soft crabs, sea scallops, and crab cakes. Soup selections include Maryland Crab and Cream of Crab. Side orders include: baked potatoes, cole slaw, potato or macaroni salads. Prices for complete dinners, that include two sides, run from $13-25, depending on the season and availability of a particular type of fish. Parking can be difficult in the season.
