Higgins is one of those Ocean City traditions you always have to do. The crabs were plentiful, the beverages were great, the service was top-notch, I couldn’t find one thing to complain about. We do Higgins every time we’re in Ocean City at least once sometimes two or three times.

Might be the time of the year but the large crabs were very disappointing. $75 a dozen and every crab had hardly any meat in them. They looked good from the outside but inside nothing. Even my 11 year old grandson commented about it. We got most of the meat from the claws. Been disappointed the last two times I was there. Probably won’t be back. Service was good though.

Very overpriced for the quality. The food was bland, overcooked, and just ok. We spent a lot of money on one dinner out and it wasn’t good. Tasted like cafeteria food. We won’t be back.
