Higgins Crab House: Reviews & Ratings
I had thee absolute BEST TIME! Today is my 42nd birthday and I came to Ocean City to relax and all I wanted was crabs!! I did a quick google search and found Higgins and I'm so glad I decided to come. There were various sizes of crabs to choose from. You could also buy single crabs and mix & match sizes of which I loved. I got two jumbo crabs and 4 large and they were Delicious! The establishment was clean and well- kept. The service was amazing! I'll definitely be back!
Cannot recommend this place enough! We did all you can eat grabs on a Friday night and our server was AMAZING!!!! we ate literally our weight in steamed crabs on the roof top deck. Orange crushes were great too!
Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant. The hush puppies were complementary and they were fluffy and tasty. The oysters were shucked well and fresh. The crabs were likewise a good size and very tasty and reasonably priced ($75 per dozen for large). The server was super friendly and VERY prompt with our needs. I had a margarita and my wife had daiquiri both were reasonably priced ($9 each) although they were on the weaker side. We went early in the evening (arriving at 5:00 pm) and found it to be clean and not too busy. My only significant complaint was the pricing of the kids food. My son had the kids pasta and my daughter had the chicken tenders, which together came to almost $30 before tax and tip with I felt was WAY too much for kids food. I would likely return, but the expense of the kids food just left a bad taste in my mouth after a rather tasty meal.
PROs - location , ambience , food (I guess) , bar CONs - service could be quicker Fantastic location. Right next to our hotel . We went in about 11.30 and it was already packedddd. ... I'm not a crab eater , but I saw mostly all eating and enjoying it . I think it is very good looking at their expressions :) we had some fries and chicken wings and it was good . Bar was good . They had some really fresh and cold beers .. I liked it .. since it was packed , the service was super slow ! We had to wait 10 mins to get our drinks and the guy was helpless and running around ! Wish there were more employees , especially in the bar ! We still liked our time and would surely go back .... Nice ambience overall..
