Where to Make a Pit Stop on the Way to the Maryland-Delaware Shore | Eater DC

"Ocean Odyssey Seafood Restaurant is located on Route 50 in Cambridge and it’s a seafood house with all domestically-sourced crab meat, so it doesn’t get much fresher than this. This pit stop comes with well-seasoned steamed crabs, freshly shucked oysters, fried clams, and seven Maryland beers on tap." - Tim Ebner

First time patron. Since we were the only customers we were seated promptly by our hostess and server Bailie. Bailie was friendy and explained various options to our order. We decided to order the fried oysters appetizer and the softcrab sandwich. Unfortunately I can't comment on the fried oysters because they never brought them out. The softcrabs were really good, fried to perfection. They come with your choice of toppings, lettuce, tomatoes etc. You choose a side to accompany the entree which is either, cole slaw, side sald or fries. We both chose the cole slaw. The cole slaw was almost inedible, best way to describe it would be bland and tasteless. It tasted like it was old and cole slaw should be made fresh everyday. Plenty of parking, restrooms and dinning area were clean. I'll give them another opportunity but since we don't live in the area it will be awhile before we return.

My favorite spot in Cambridge. Live music on Monday is a treat. They have the only mug club I've ever bought into - makes for cheaper beer and pays itself off quick. Staff are all friendly - welcoming to locals and tourists. All the food I've tried has been great. Seafood all seems to be fresh, if not local. Haven't had a chance to attend while they're seating outside or dealing with peak tourist season, but seems great based on visits in April. They were closed until recently - maybe always closed during off-season?

Yeah…! My 150th Night at a HH/BW Location. A great restaurant/bar… Ballie was my waitress and she was very friendly. She continued to check on me to make sure I had everything I needed and that my food was good. Well, it wasn’t good… it was great. I had the best soft shell crab sandwich and it came with a side of fries. The crab was simply delicious. While I was there Travis, the owner of the restaurant came out to meet me and we talked for a bit about the Eastern Shore, the local fishery and what it’s like being in the restaurant business. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the Ocean Odyssey Crab House Restaurant and I’ll definitely come back here again. Thank you Travis

Great place for seafood right in Cambridge MD. We were a larger group and they were able to accommodate us for dinner time. The tables were split and we had different servers so my review is based on our experience which was positive. We sat in the back picking room. Service: our server, a young man was super sweet and attentive. He took our orders and kept us updated as things were coming out. The other table had a server who seemed annoyed the whole time and was hardly around or checked in on them - I guess depends on the server you get on how your experience will be. Food: we ordered the brisket poutines (10/10), highly recommend, it was so good with the brisket and gravy and cheese. I would come back just for that. We also had the chicken wings - which was surprisingly tasty for a seafood spot. The wings were well seasoned, hot and crispy when they came out. The steamed crabs were good! We got 1/2 dz large ones and they had a good amount of meat but also very tasty. Kids enjoyed the French onion soup and the burger and fries. Overall, would recommend if you are in the area.

We went to this restaurant after visiting the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad site. It is in Cambridge, Maryland, a lovely small town. The place was very casual with simple decor. Not big on the ambiance. But, the food was excellent as was the service. Definitely not a fine dining experience but well worth a visit due to the top notch food and service.

This is the restaurant my family never misses when we're in Cambridge or passing through the city. During our most recent visit, we indulged in more than three dozen large crabs, and we relished every bite. The quality of each crab was outstanding, and it truly enhanced the entire dining experience. The crabs were incredibly sweet, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're a seasoned crab connoisseur or new to the world of steamed crabs, I recommend giving them a try. They serve as a delectable reminder of life's simple pleasures – good food, great company, and a taste of the ocean's or bay's bounty. :)

Their crabs are the best and they have the best prices. We will travel from Baltimore to get their crabs. I'm never disappointed.. When we visit Virginia, we take Rt 13 instead of 95, just to get the crabs. I have children that live in Salisbury, and when they come to see us in Baltimore, I will have them stop by Ocean Odyssey to get us crabs.

This place was pretty solid! The service was fast and my food was really good. I was surprised the place was essentially empty aside from my husband and I, and two other ladies. We split fried oysters, and they were perfect! Oysters cooked that way take me back to childhood. I had some snow crab legs that were perfect. Our food came out fast and the smell waiter checked on us and was pleasant. I will definitely be back

Food was great, but oh boy was it slow. Very loud in the back room where we sat, until a large party left. I think it took over an hour to get our food. Luckily we weren't starving. Not sure if I'd come back. Seems to be understaffed.

Walked in Monday evening to the surprise of a live band they sounded great. The waitresses were incredible they went the extra mile for us to experience and enjoy Maryland crab! We arrived 30 minutes before closing and they took great care of us. Oyster rocker-fellers were big and meaty (the best we've ever had!), fried oysters were crispy and big. The crab cakes were massive chunks of crab perfection. Even the snow crab was fresh. Overall it's a clean hole in the wall, town's favorite, hidden gem. 10/10 recommend! We will go out of our way to come back.

The Ocean Odyssey Crab House serves up some delicious crab cakes- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. All crab, no filler. The restaurant has a dumpy, coastal vibe with an 'ocean scent' that adds to the charm. The only downside was the slow service, but the quality of the food made it worth the wait. The Cambridge MD restaurant scene leaves much to be desired so when visiting the area, lower your expectations.

Dates of visit: July 22 and 23, 2024 We were staying at a nearby resort for a few days and so our daughter researched restaurants in the area and bought us a $100 gift card here. It was perfect for two meals! We started with a beer for hubby and the best whiskey sour I have ever had for me! The bartender is obviously a purist with his craft as the sour had great whiskey, lemon juice and simple syrup. That's it...no sour mix needed. Our first visit we shared the: DOCO POUTINE A local version of the Quebecois classic dish featuring french fries, cream of crab soup & Wisconsin cheddar cheese curds all broiled & topped with scallions AND the THE BAY ON A BUN built w/ Chesapeake Bay soft crab, oysters & blue catfish, all in fried glorious form w/ mixed greens, tomatillo aioli & Marie rose sauces. OH MY GOODNESS...amazing! Our second night there (our server was the same young man both nights and he definitely recognized us and welcomed us back!) we ordered PAN-SEARED MAHI MAHI SANDWICH roasted w/ salt, butter, white wine, shallots & thyme. AND a wonderful soft shell crab sandwich. Oh...and I ordered the Whiskey sour again! The downfall of this restaurant was it is 4 hours from our house!! But if we are ever in that area again...we will be back!

I usually come here once a year with my family. This year we were told by two teenagers working there that they didn't know when a table would be available. These kids looked completely overmatched and overpowered. They should not be left running restaurant. As we were leaving without being seated, we saw an elderly gentleman get excited about receiving his take out order after waiting an hour. He then yelled about the order being wrong. What happened to this place?

Giving this place 3 stars is being generous. We came here on the day they opened for the season and it was a mess. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time and had our choice of seats. The place has tried to update on the inside but still needs some major TLC, like the ceiling. There's an outside seating area of picnic tables and a play area for kids. Our waitress came over and she seemed very shy. After looking over the menu, we ordered cups of the cream of lobster soup. We asked to have it brought out first. For our main meals, I ordered mahi mahi tacos, which was the fresh fish of the day. My friend got the crab cake sandwich. They brought out the soup and our tacos right after which was annoying. The soup was delicious but I found a piece of crab shell in my soup! The tacos had ice berg lettuce. Who puts that on a taco?! The salsa made the tacos very soggy. They forgot the crab cake sandwich. So we had to wait for that. The crab cake sandwich came out and the presentation was awful. No toppings or even a pickle and it came out on a cheap hamburger bun. Can't believe that was $24! The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because of how fresh the fish and crab were. But other than that, it was a total mess and we won't be back.

We are originally from NY. We were in MD for a wedding. On our drive back, we drove past this restaurant and decided to stop for some crabs. So glad we did! From the outside, I did not expect much. From the inside it was actually very cute! Very nice nautical theme. But let's forget about how the place looks because the food is all you need! Every single item we ordered was amazing! We went a little overboard ordering. We got the fish and chips (so crispy!), fish tacos (one of the best I ever had, crabs (so much meat!), and of course the crab cake. The people behind the counter were nice enough. I wouldn't say friendly but at the same time they were not rude. Our food came out in a decent time. No one came and checked if we needed refills or anything but once I asked the waitress she would come right away. I would definitely come back because the food was definitely worth it especially for the price.

It's a neighborhood stop right on the highway and the only real crab house in Cambridge. We ate steamed crabs and they were only fair. Experienced crab pickers, we found the simple surroundings fun. Corn fritters were hot and yummy as well as the coleslaw. The service had a lot to be desired and the wine pour was half of what it should be for a glass. We probably would not come back unless we were desperate for fresh steamed crabs. Restrooms were needing service and a little seedy.

The crab and grouper cakes were expensive but very good. Recommended. The soft shell crab sandwich was also very good. Good wine selection too.

TLDR: Delicious seafood pit stop on the way or coming home from the beach! Come for the Bay On The Bun and the Grouper Cake Sandwich. Vibe: 5/5. Both inside and outside seating is available and both are nicely decorated to the ever present crab house/nautical theme. Ocean Odyssey uses a completely online ordering system where you scan a table specific QR code and place/pay for your order on a website portal. The system works great and gives you all the options of customization for each food item. Service: 5/5. We were seated immediately and with the online ordering, our food order was done in only a few minutes after getting settled in. Food came out exceptionally fast to the point I was at a fast casual restaurant. This is ideal for those on a road trip looking to get a quick bite in under 30 minutes. Food: 5/5. We ordered the Bay on the Bun (local fried catfish, softshell crab and oysters) sandwich, the Grouper Cake Sandwich and the DoCo Fries with everything turning out great! The Bay On the Bun was obviously huge, nicely breaded and paired well with the Marie rose sauce. However, the Grouper Cake was the unexpected winner of the order. We opted to have the cake pan seared with the Cajun remoulade. Perfectly seared , flaky and well seasoned, I could of eaten several! If you're ever on the way to OCMD and need a quick seafood fix, definitely give Ocean Odyssey a try!

They REALLY need some veggies on the menu. Otherwise a folksy charm to the decor, and a great menu selection. The staff was friendly and quick enough. Im giving them four stars because I said I don't like soft shell crab: they just taste fried, no crab. The waitress said I should try theirs, so I got an insane sandwich featuring fries crab. She was absolutely right! I just hadn't had a good one before. The fish tacos were also pretty great. Kids menu lacked veggies as an option, and they didn't have any as a side.

Best place in town for seafood! Great service, speedy, delicious, ordering was convenient because you pay and order from your phone. Cocktails were BOMB get the painkiller! Islandy vibe and refreshing. I came here twice out of my 3 day stay for lunch. Food: Fish cake 8/10 very filling, Crabcake 10/10 hardly any shells maybe noticed like 3 pieces. Steamed Shrimp 5/10 needed to be de-pooped. Also, there should be an option for no shell or more old bay at the table. Flavors didn't come through Sides were all good (fries , green beans, mashed taters) I would go back!

Stopped by on our way home for lunch and what a great way to end our trip. We ordered the "the bay on a bun", DoCo poutine and the flounder sandwich. Everything' was seasoned well and the portions were nice! I will say personally the bay on a bun sandwich wasn't my favorite. While it was delicious, I thought the flavors of the different seafood offerings did not blend well together. Each have its own taste and it overpowered each one. It was also big so it was hard to get a good bite. They have a great selection of dishes and a wonderful outdoor/indoor area. They also have an outdoor play area so it is pet and family friendly.

This is a nice pit stop if you are down in Cambridge for a day. They have an endless amount of craft beers. More than one way to cook a crab, tasty french-fries, and friendly service. Another feature I loved was the beer garden with benches and patio seating and a playground on the side. I figured out at that instant why there were so many cool dads sitting outside with their kids.

The only things they need to improve is the service and the food. OK, the decor sucked too. The bartender could not have been any more disinterested in getting you a drink. The only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one is that the crabcakes were OK. The pan fried fish was so dry.,I should've sent it back.

We came on a Friday afternoon and could tell they were short staffed. There were tables where prior customers had sat and were never cleaned off for the duration of our visit. The woman working was friendly. We ordered a hamburger and fries for our kids and we got the mahi mahi tacos and chicken skewers. The food was fine, nothing special. It just took a very long time for us to get our drinks and food. If you come here, maybe just get the crabs and know that service will be a hit or miss. We likely won't be coming back here the next time we're in the area.

Nice stop for lunch on drive from NOVA to Chincoteague. Jumbo crabs seemed a bit small and not as sweet as other MD places we have been to. Ambiance as expected, Metal chairs a bit hard on the behind. Ambiance low key. Service fine if a bit slow. Crowd slowly built while having lunch and seemed to be a popular local place. Would return.

Lovely place. Off the main road but glad I saw it! Pan roasted crab cake sandwich with fries. I love sampling different takes on crab cakes--this was wonderful. There was filler but not overwhelming or too much mayo. Big fat cake that filled up the whole bun...warm brioche bun. Fries were good--crispy and fresh. I love when they offer malt vinegar on every table. That made the fries even better. Orange crush with fresh juice. All perfect on a hot summer day.

Delicious seafood in a rough lookimg shell. The building looks iffy but your taste buds will scream in delight. The young waitress was friendly but wasn't quite able to answer questions about the menu items... I ordered sides to try out a few things and found the crab nuggets (6) and fried oysters (8) were very good (cost approx. $13.00 ea.), fries were not included and weren't worth the $4.00. I'd go again. One restroom for men and women, fairly clean during my visit.

Don't get me wrong, the Maine crab and king crab is fantastic. Other then that the service leaves a lot to be desired, the decor is terrible, and the restaurant overall feels dirty. The rest of the food on the menu is a hard pass.

Bottom Line: Seafood restaurant and crab house with a full beer and lots of local craft beer to be enjoyed inside or out in the garden. My husband and I have driven by Ocean Odyssey many times and we finally gave it a try while staying at the nearby Hyatt Regency. We were looking for food a nice meal but a casual environment and Ocean Odyssey was perfect for that. We chose to sit inside in "the Pickin' Room." We visited during COVID and we were the only people in there on an October Saturday evening but, outside was hopping! Lots of people seemed to be enjoying drinks and dinner in the garden. While we sat in the Pickin' Room we could see the garden crowd coming to the window to place their orders and it seemed pretty steady. For dinner we had salads, coconut shrimp, crab imperial, mashed potatoes and broccoli. The crab imperial was huge and decadent like it should be. It was very good as well as the simple steamed broccoli. We also loved their house salad dressing but wish there was more to the salad which I think was just greens and onions. The mashed potatoes were ok. They had standing butter on them which was a little bit too much for me. The employees were all very friendly and laid back. Everyone was wearing masks and following COVID protocols. I'm glad I finally got to try this local restaurant!

There's some good stuff going on here. Ocean Odyssey served us some good food. We tried catch of the day, Cobia blackened on tacos and a soft shell crab sandwich. Our meals were done right. The bar has some excellent local craft beers.

I love the steamed crab specials. This place is only open from May through October. The large male crabs are meaty and slightly sweet. Try the queen corn oh so good. I wish this establishment offered more days and hours of operation. They are closed most of the week and only open towards the end of the week and werkends.

This place was very good. A cute local spot with yummy crab! It is a spot where you order at the front or at your table with a QR code and they bring it to your table. Even so, the servers are very attentive. Great spot!

I went here with some trepidations because of some of the negative reviews, and I am a Marylander hosting a girls' trip and really wanted our crab picking outing to be fabulous. Well--it was! This place had wonderful service (I think our server's name was Carla but that could be wrong)--she was joking with us, gracious without being overbearing, really responsive to requests. The steamed crabs (we got 1.5 pounds for 4 people) were sweet, perfectly cooked and of a good size for a great price. It's cute and cheerful; we all know sometimes crab houses can be a little divey, but this is actually the opposite. Give this place a shot--I'm so glad we did.

We ordered takeout from Ocean Odyssey this past weekend and were pleased. The online ordering experience was smooth, the staff at pick up was friendly, and the food was delicious. The crab cakes were delicious (and we appreciated the multiple sauces available with them!), the crab chowder was great, and the mashed potatoes were excellent (and not overly buttery/creamy, as is often the case)!

We went on a Thursday night and it wasn't busy so we were seated right away. Food was really good and exactly what I had expected! Fried oysters - no shells, just oysters seasoned in old bay, battered and fried up. It was a great appetizer to start. My toddler loved it. Crab cake - I think this is the best crab cake we have had hands down. Delicious, flavorful 5 oz lump. I'm practically salivating just writing this review. Half dozen jumbo crabs steamed & seasoned w/old bay: cannot go wrong with crabs here if you don't mind the mess! As a bonus, it provided some great entertainment for my toddler because she got to use the mallet on a few crab legs lol No desserts offered here, but our waitress told us most people just head over to Dairy Queen next door and people often just walk back and use their outdoor dining tables which is what we did. This might be the only true crab house in this area of cambridge? At least from all the suggestions I've seen on Yelp and google.

Good Food, Great Service We really enjoyed our time at Ocean Odyssey. Perhaps it was being the offseason (early May) but the food wasn't comparable to some of the best seafood I've had. I can imagine this place gets busy during the warmer months and they can cycle the fresh seafood in and out with the turnover rate. We were the only table there when we went and it's possible the crab cakes freshness suffered. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not five stars. However, we really enjoyed the staff and thought everyone was great. We would definitely return if we got the chance.

Seafood dinner on vacay! We had 22 people and I thought this place was perfect. The restaurant has a few diff areas, so they were able to put together 2 large tables for our group. Pro - food was very good, not amazing but solid. We had a bunch of different items. I tried calamari, steamed crabs, fish tacos (maco), and hush puppies. Everything was good and prices were reasonable. Service was excellent for a large group. They had live music (played music from 1900-1950's) on a Monday night. Crab prices vary, they were $49/dozen large, $79/dozen jumbo and $89/dozen for super jumbo. Cons - for those who don't like noise, music was very loud.

So, the Ocean Odyssey located in Crocheron (Dorchester County), Maryland dates back to 1947 when Bradye Todd and Mary "Nanny" Blanche opened a crab picking house and operated a processor and wholesale merchant of seafood. Roy Todd their son and his wife Barbra decided to try their luck and purchased the current building in 1986. The restaurant that is there today exists from the evolution of a roadside Seafood and deli into the Beer Garden and Restaurant that people love to visit. The third-generation entrepreneur currently operates the outdoor crab and beer garden, which sounds fantastic on a hot summer day. They offer steamed crabs and seafood, crab cakes, and the Bay on a Bun. They carry several local craft beers and have their mug club for specials. So, if you're a local looking for a new restaurant and like to support locally owned and operated business then this is the place. If you are traveling and want to grab a quick bite when heading to or from the beach on route 50 then this is a great place to try! Don't let the outside fool you, they have an indoor seating area also. I had the carnitas tacos, we also tried the crab dip appetizer and everything was fantastic! So, stop on in and give Ocean Odyssey a try!

Tried again, first Time few years ago was good, my sandwich was great the combo oyster cod and softshell on a bun just like first time. Crab dip was lacking crab, then My friend ordered mahi taco looked like burnt bacon, asked the young waitress she said yes it doesn't look too good. She didn't offer to replace or discount. Crab cake sandwich $28! Looked like it had filler fish in it. My friends were like this place sucks. I had to pay to make it up to them . Sorry but needs to improve for the money. And need frosty mugs! The wings looked good

What a wonderful gem of a restaurant! I googled best places to stop I. Cambridge and it's no surprise that this place made the list. We stopped in for lunch on the way home from Ocean City. We were promptly greeted and seated by friendly staff. Our waitress was wonderful. Very friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic! Ocean Odyssey was everything we were hoping for and more.

I was in Cambridge and looking for a great place to eat and I was told Ocean Odyssey is the place for seafood. I decided to give it a try and purchased the Bay on a Bun sandwich. I noticed after opening the box that the sandwich didn't quite have the presentation that I found on their website and various reviews. After tasting the sandwich I discovered it was not very flavorful and lack a lot of essential ingredients such as spice. The sandwich I received must been an imposter because it didn't seem to be the ""best sandwiches in America" runner up." Perhaps this description was mixed up with another sandwich. The service was great as the young lady was very pleasant and provided a welcoming aura.

First time here Service was awesome. We had a guy server and he did a phenomenal job. The reason why the review is so low is because of the food. The only good thing here is the crab and the fish cakes. Apart from that all the sides and fried foods are under seasoned, honestly not good. The red potatoes smelled like cow manure and had no seasoning. Just boiled, cut and put on a plate. The ambience was good though. Definitely a family diner.

We had a a nice time here. We were looking for somewhere to get some blue crabs and this place fit the bill. If you are looking for that experience, then you will not be disappointed! They had excellent crabs (jumbo were in the day we went). They gave you everything you need to have a nice meal. They had enough beers to keep you happy as well. We liked it, but I do want to set your expectations.... I think you will have a better experience if you know this stuff going in: 1- This place is a crab house, not a high end restaurant. 2- I think the oldest person working the two times we went was 18. They did a fine job (and there has to be an adult in the back cooking the crabs), but the girl at the desk suggested we go to Dairy Queen for "good" ice cream after our meal... Don't expect a foodie experience. 3- Go for the crabs. Get the biggest ones they have. Don't mess around. It is exactly what they do best. 4- The tables are a little small. The chairs are a little uncomfortable. Again, a crab house vibe. 5- The bathroom needs a full overhaul. Avoid it if you can. Go before you go! 6- Drink a beer with your crab. I mean it is tradition in MD!!! I love it. I will go again. It was exactly what I was looking for (except for the bathroom... ).

Stopped by here on the way back from OC, and it was worthhh the stop! Nice restaurant in Cambridge, MD. Great for large groups, just be sure to reserve ahead of time. We had a group of 25 of us that came for dinner on a Tuesday around 7pm. The server, Wendy, did an amaaazing job accommodating our needy selves! They had a back room that fit us great in an L shape. We ordered i think 4 large dozens of crabs and a bunch of sides and apps and drinks. The back room also had a bar, so when Wendy was busy getting our food, we were able to go to the bar to order drinks. The crabs were all so gooood and meaty! I am so happy we stopped by here for them because these curved my craving.

You need to stop here on the way to OC, or come here if you're a local. The service is outstanding. My buddy wanted a special order not on the menu and they accommodated him, most places wouldn't. I had the Bay on the Bun. It was super good. Never had anything like it. Everything was cooked to perfection. The oysters were very sweet. I also had the MD crab soup. Had a lot of stewed tomatoes which was different but good. I want to try the creamed crab next time I'm here. My buddies crab cake, fried shrimp, oysters, hush puppies, cole slaw, and fries all looked delicious and he enjoyed it. Def 10/10

Stopped in today for lunch. Started off with a couple cocktails, a Painkiller for the Mrs, and a The Dark and Stormy for myself. Both were great, and quickly served up. There were plenty menu offerings to close from but couldn't resist the fan favorites Crab Nuggets, Cream of Crab soup, Crab Cake sandwich, & Bay on a Bun. All of the food came out promptly and was served by two very attentive, kind sweet waitresses. This is a great local establishment to visit when we come this way again.

Excellent food. The cream of crab soup was piping hot. The flavors were well balanced and there was plenty of crab meat. The crab cake was delicious - moist with large chunks of crab meat and very little binder. The fries were plain (processed), but they were perfectly prepared - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were too hot to eat right away (which is a great thing!). If anything, they might consider changing to fresh cut fries instead. There was live music - a nice touch. Would definitely visit again!
