I saw Ocean Odyssey Crab House when researching places to eat while staying a couple of nights in Cambridge. This restaurant was right down the road from our hotel, and their menu looked very appealing. So we we stopped on our first night, and our group had mixed feelings overall. There was an obvious trend that those of us who had seafood dishes, like myself, were very happy with the meal. Those who had chicken or the spring rolls were less than satisfied with the meal. Makes sense as the restaurant is a seafood restaurant, so one would expect the seafood to be good! I had the Bay on the Bun. I took off the greens, but I was very happy with the sandwich. Very delicious. The fried oysters were delicious as well. So, in my opinion, if you go, then try to stick with seafood. I wanted to try the steamed crabs, but pur party was under a little bit of a time crunch. Our service was very good. The waitress was attentive, and staffing was adequate for how busy the restaurant was. Everyone was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean too. Sadly, we do not have a reason to come to Cambridge Maryland other than this one trip. But if we did co.e back, we would certainly come visit Ocean Odyssey Crab House again. Albeit, a little wiser, and only order the seafood items.

Stay away! They will bring you butter that looks like jello ,they charge extra for NORMAL HEATED butter, we were a large group? Group of five is a bit too much for them , our server didn’t ring up one of our orders, so the food was delayed, our server was nice about it her name was Amy , when we had questions we asked another server & that server yelled out “Amy! Your table has issues!” We were mortified, poor customer service, we asked to speak to the manager her name was also AMY, I appreciate that she was sympathetic to our concerns, she promised that she would relay to management on how we were treated, this was our first and LAST visit , as far as food goes, the crabs could have been super hot, they were warm

The crabs and drinks were the only thing good!! The cream of crab was not fit for humans and I could have gotten a better fish sandwich at McDonald’s. We sent the soup back and only at 3 bits of the sandwich. I let the waitress know. She said that some else had complained about the soup. Didn’t ask if we wanted something else nor took it off the bill. We will not be back and would not recommend.

Wife said the crabs were good. That’s got to count for a lot at a crab place.

We purchased what was supposed to be “jumbo crabs” yesterday for $70 per dozen. By no stretch of the imagination were these jumbo by any other restaurants measurement, more like size medium, nor were they very heavy. I had asked to see the crabs, and they pointed to plastic crabs hanging on the wall as a measurement. The sizing is misleading, so do not be fooled. The only reason I am giving 2 stars and not 1 is that the crab soup was good, and the bartender was amazing. Great drinks, although not much of a selection. The ladies at the takeout counter were very nice as well. Ocean Odyssey, please size and price your crabs based upon industry standard so that we know what we are getting.

Good people, good food, what more could you ask for? Oh, you could ask for fresh crabs, clams, and oysters like we had at Ocean Odyssey!

We ordered take away in hopes of eating outside before we arrived. Unfortunately a quick storm popped up preventing us from doing so. The bartender was extremely nice and allowed us to dine at a table in the bar area. We have been coming here for many years and have watched the menu change and mold. We both ordered the crab cake sandwich and while they were full of meat they lacked in the flavor that we remembered from past seasons. We might pass on stopping by on our way back home but will be back on our next visit down to the beach. Just might go with a fish sandwich instead.

We received good service. We wanted a light meal. Order some fried shrimp and crab dip. The food was nicely cooked.
