Earlier this month I took a road trip with my pops to beautiful Ocean City Maryland.
It was my first time visiting and I really fell in love with everything there.
Known for its wooden boardwalk, miles of beach and seafood restaurants.
There is so much to do here and eating fresh delicious seafood is one of those things!
Maryland is famous for seafood, especially for crabs. This is a waterman’s state where most locals can trace at least one person in their family to the fishing and crabbing industry.
The four hour drive from New York City was totally worth it.
Because this was my first time visiting I did what I always do and ask the locals where their favorite spots are to eat.
Without a doubt Belly Busters was at the top of their lists.
And since it was very close to the hotel I decided to give this restaurant a try.
Not only did I eat here for dinner the day I arrived but also for lunch before I got back on the road home.
That is how much I enjoyed the food and customer service here.
It should be noted that this restaurant is not very big inside.
However there is additional outdoor patio seating.
Although April isn’t peak season in Ocean City it was still pretty busy and we got lucky as far as the weather.
Now lets talk food.
The first thing I did was check out their menu as per usual.
To begin we ordered a bunch of appetizer’s and their pink lemonade for drinks.
They did not have Cocktails on the menu and I am not much of a Beer drinker.
We had the Wings, Shrimp, Onion Rings & Crabs for our appetizer’s.
Wings
$14.99
10 spicy wings with blue cheese & celery, also BBQ or honey mustard
Shrimp
$19.99 Per Pound, $9.99 ½ Pound
Onion Rings
$6.99
Firstly let me just say that their appetizer’s were very good.
The crabs were my favorite so yummy!
Crabs
$Market Price

Following that it was time to dig into our entrees.
We ordered two of their Seafood Platters.
Seafood Platters
Choice of two sides: French Fries, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, Cucumber Salad or Garden Salad
Dad had the Flounder Platter and I had the Seafood Platter.
Flounder Platter Cole Slaw+Potato Salad.
Seafood Platter
$28.99
Fish, Crab Cake, Shrimp & Clams +French+Onions Rings.
As you can see the portions are huge.
Everything was hot, crispy and delicious.
Obviously we were to stuffed for dessert so we skipped it.
Besides the food being really good the customer service was even better.
In spite of them being short staffed our waitress was really working hard to make sure we had everything we needed.
I will always appreciate that and try to highlight that because as a restaurant/food blogger that isn’t always my experience.
To sum things up if you are ever in Ocean City Maryland I would recommend you visit Belly Busters.
