Higgins North is the family's second Ocean City room, at 128th Street in the north-end crab cluster. The Crab Bag sits two blocks away. The menu matches the 31st Street original. All-you-can-eat steamed crabs run at a posted $61.99. Every special comes ringed with the same open-kettle fried chicken and sides. Snow crab leg combinations climb to the mid-80s. The north room serves the condo-tower crowd. It swallows big family tables in season. The Google rating matches the southern location at 3.8, on about 1,200 reviews. Five-star family-tradition posts run against one-star complaints about service pace and crab consistency on peak nights.
