“ Happy Hour is 50% off for food at the bar anything with the crab icon next it and 20% off on the regular menu during Happy Hour as long as the crab icon is next to it. The food is actually good too. Been coming here for a couple of years now whenever I'm in Ocean City and so far I've had the Old Bay Chicken Wings they were crispy and tasty. The Loaded Fries were good and large enough for two people. The Pork Tacos weren't bad but I probably should've ordered the Shrimp Tacos I only didn't because I also had the Boom Boom Shrimp which were my favorite. The bartenders are awesome and the vibe is nice. Good spot to watch sports and meet some nice people. ”
“ We had a party of 5 Dylan was our server he was friendly and attentive! We all enjoyed our dinners and appetizers! Great seating lots of outdoor space with harbor bay views! Only real mis giving was the price of drinks should be explained when ordering the large Bucket sized drinks which are oversized but much more expensive than what we expected. The price should be explained at the time of ordering especially when servers are encouraging the oversized as a better deal. Especially when the cost is 2-3 X the cost of the normal sized drink. ”
“ Great food and they accommodated our 16 people group with no wait around 5pm!! Make sure to get an oyster shot!! ”
“ Always stop by here for dinner when I'm in ocean city with the family. The food, service, & vibe is always good. ”
“ Atmosphere (outdoors) is fabulous, especially in the evening at sunset. Food is fantastic ! Service (Genna) was unbelievable !! Plenty of parking and nice entertainment too. Definitely a must !! ”
“ We came for an evening dinner with one teen and one kiddo. Sat on the upper terrace which was lovely with a view of the water and sunset. Be warned it's def hot in summer (duh) bc they don't have umbrellas up there. Not enough to deter us. Ordered crab dip, seafood pasta, kids crab legs and crab cake. Food came out relatively quick. However a mix up in the kitchen delayed our app and the manager was QUICK to deliver it, apologize, and take it off the ticket which was generous. Seafood pasta was delicious, full of fresh huge scallops and shrimp with a delicious warm spiced cream sauce. Love love love it. Crab cake was big, more crab than breading. Could have used a touch more on the cook but delicious flavor profile. Crab claws were cooked correctly and the kids meal was a perfect size for the kiddo. I am return customer and will definitely be back again as I'm picky about seafood and flavors and felt they really met great food with warm atmosphere. ”
“ Blu is my favorite restaurant in OCMD! We had a group of 10 on a Friday night, and they were so friendly and accommodating! There is a ton of seating so our wait was pretty quick. Fun fact - any drink can be made into a bucket! We enjoyed the Bloody Mary and spicy margarita. The food was also served quickly, and everything was so fresh. My friends loved their crab buckets, and I had the best poke tacos. ”
“ Came for the AYCE Crabs. It was market price, which was $60 pp. Don't waste time with the corn or cheddar biscuits that it came with! Our server, Kay, was phenomenal and the sweetest! We didn't account for time and came 45 minutes before closing. We started off with 4 crabs each (which took an hour) and at 9:15pm the server asked if we want another round. Ofc we said yes, and I asked her what time they close. And she said 9:15, but she can't stop serving until the patrons leave. There were still about 5 tables left in the restaurant. So we put in another round of crabs and they brought out 10 crabs to share between 2 people. They give you a bucket for your waste and a roll of paper towels. We went to town with the crabs. They were seasoned with old bay seasoning and the side of butter (in the container) was an added flavor! Thank you Kay! ”
