The Original Crabcake Factory is the crab-cake specialist of the north end, at 120th Street since 1996. It steams no crabs. The crab menu runs all day and starts at breakfast. Crab benedicts run beside a Bloody Mary bar the place is known for. An online arm has shipped its cakes nationwide since the late nineties. The kitchen claims a best-crab-cakes-in-America nod from USA Today. It holds 4.3 on Google across more than 3,600 reviews, the strongest rating of any crab room in north Ocean City. Expect a wait for summer breakfast.
