Higgins Crab House 31st Street

Higgins sells all-you-can-eat steamed crabs at a posted price, which most competitors will not print. This is the southern of the family's two Ocean City rooms. The Higgins family of St. Michaels counts more than forty years steaming crabs on the island. Every crab special comes with open-kettle fried chicken and corn. Hush puppies, fries and coleslaw fill out the tray. The Google rating is 3.8 across about 2,300 reviews. Reviewers praise the chicken-and-crabs value. They complain about peak-season waits and inconsistent crab weight. Reservations run through OpenTable, which is rare for a crab house.
