I feel like I keep trying new places based on yelp reviews and being disappointed. Dined here yesterday and ordered 2 lump crab cakes, fries and slaw. I'm pretty sure it was local crab which is a PLUS, it DEFINITELY was NOT back fin lump. Waited patiently like the sign says, made fresh. Crab cakes were warm. Not hot. It was not busy. Slaw was good, had vinegar taste which I like. Fries were meh. Would I come back? No read more

I took a chance on this crabcake sandwich and was blown away - excellent! Crabmeat was great, no filler, hint of old bay seasoning, on a nice soft roll, with high-end greens (not a piece of iceberg lettuce), a good slice of tomato, and some home made tartar sauce. Price was right, too. I'll be back for another one soon! read more

If you want a local hole in the wall that serves the best crab cake sandwich and crab soup your search is truly over. Best staff, local vibes, and outstanding flavor. Huge lump crab, fresh arugula and tomato, home made tartar and cocktail sauces, super crispy salty fries....what else do you need? Go now. Also has burger, salad, and chicken options for those not so keen on the almighty bay crab. Thanks Uptown. Almost missed you behind the gas station, but now I'll never forget. read more

Went to this joint for our last night in town - wish we had discovered it earlier! Eric was an absolute delight, everyone there is so friendly! My husband had the cheesesteak and onion rings - both were delicious. I had the crab cake sandwich (fried the crab cake) and fried zucchini - even though we forgot to grab the tartar sauce for the sandwich - happily it was completely unnecessary. No fillers, pure delicious crab fried to perfection on a soft potato roll. He gave us a sample of his MD crab soup (the red kind) absolutely delicious. We picked up some cream of crab to take home for our daughter and grabbed some bread pudding for dessert. All of it was delicious. Notes about the place- it's not fast food everything is made fresh for your order so don't expect a fast in and out. We are on vacation so we are in no hurry, anyway. Also, there is no inside dining, it's a cute little tiny eatery - there are a few picnic tables outside to eat on, but it was raining the day we got food so that was out. We took the food back to our hotel - everything was still warm and surprisingly the fried food was still crispy. I saw people's comments about the ambiance and the view, yeah it's in a tiny little strip mall with gas pumps in front but the restaurant itself is clean, nicely updated and decorated and a lack of view takes nothing away from this place. read more

My wife and I are very picky.Stopped in for the crab cake sandwich and cheesesteak and was not disappointed. We'll definitely be back again.Small counter inside or a few picnic tables outside to eat at .A must try! read more

If you are looking for a beautiful restaurant with amazing ambiance and decent food, look elsewhere! OTOH, if you are looking for some of the best seafood you can find in OC, head here and one cool, down-to-earth dude named Eric will deliver the goods. Eric boasts that his soft-shell, crab cake and bread pudding will blow your mind. And well, he was right. We ate 4 large soft shells and one small along with some flounder, fried oysters, etc.. The good news is that will my mind is still functional, the food lived up to my expectations and even exceeded them. My wife and son love soft shells and they said they were the best they ever had. I agreed but they know way more about the softies than I do so I defer to their wisdom. The crab cakes,we had them fried, were perfectly fried, not greasy and the crab inside was moist and tasty. The fried oysters were melt in your mouth perfection and the flounder was perfect. The coleslaw was tasty and different from the average coleslaw. Now, the bread pudding had a lot to live up to and when it came out covered in white and black chips, I knew that it was going to be delicious and it was. Moist, warm, and tasty. So, what does this mean? It means that if you are looking for a meal with delicious seafood, a great host and are willing to take out the meal or sit on one of the three outside tables, head here and tell Eric that you came here for the mind blowing food that is made with love at this tiny, non-descript, but awesome restaurant. read more

Don't let appearances deceive you. OC uptown eats has some of the best food you can find in OC. Their cheese steak and crab cake sandwiches were excellent. If they recommend something it's not just them bragging. They really are that good! read more

If you want a decent all lump crab cake, instead of the generally mediocre restaurant fare in OC, head to one of two carry outs. Captain's Galley in West OC or Uptown Eats on the north end of town. They both have excellent all lump, properly seasoned crab cakes. Uptown Eats also has a variety of sandwiches that have a great rep. An added bonus is the folks that own it are super nice. Highly recommended. read more

I really enjoyed the soft shell crab sandwich. We came here on a slow Monday after season, luckily they were open. This place is definitely worth trying once, grab the food to go, pick up a couple of beers and enjoy it on the beach. read more

Wife ordered the cream of crab soup and loved it. I ordered some chicken bites and fries and they were perfect. Most places in OC skimp on tenders, going with cheap frozen tenders, but not here. These were clearly fresh, hand breaded tenders. We'll be ordering from here again. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food!!! I had the chicken bacon ranch wrap --- 5. My girlfriend had the veggie wrap and said it was delicious. We shared the sweet potato fries and they were crispy and sweet. We also purchased 3 ice cream sandwiches. The Choclate peanut butter, cookies and cream, and vanilla chocolate chip. All were excellent with a balance of fresh homemade cookies and soft serve ice cream. I definitely recommend if you are dinning at OC Uptown Eats. read more

Okay if you don't eat here while I'm Ocean City you're missing out! The food was out of this world. I had the Chicken Parm sub! Omg the chicken was succulent and tender. The homemade marinara was so good. My husband had the Philly Chicken which he enjoyed immensely. The owner Eric was friendly and went above and beyond with his customer service. I can't wait to come back to try something else on the menu. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. read more

It was a decent crab cake , I was told the cheesesteaks were the best but we never had a chance to go back and try .

It may look like your average subshop, but OC Uptown Eats is anything but! I wandered in on a Saturday afternoon while my wife was browsing at the consignment shop next door, and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff and incredible aroma of sizzling ribeye. When our food arrived, our expectations continued to be exceeded. The ribeye steak sub was delicious. The roll was fresh, toppings were of the highest quality and worked together beautifully. The crabcake was packed with flavor, and had a great consistency. We will definitely be returning. read more

Hands down the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Crab soup delicious. The owner is a great guy. Highly recommend.

Best crab cakes I've had in a long time - no filling, all lump crab meat. Super friendly service too!

Amazing food! Crab cakes, soft shell crab, and Maryland crab soup. Great people and an surprising find. Visiting from Nashville and had to try blue crab. We'll definitely be back. read more

The perfect French fries. Not hand cut but perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The only other menu item I had was the cheesesteak which was great. Next time, I want to try the crab cake... Also, the guy working the front (presumably the owner) has a heck of a personality and humor. Definitely stop by... read more

I've gotta start this by saying that I am very much an amateur with reviews. I rarely leave reviews, but I'm gonna make an effort to change that. Restaurants like this are why reviews are important. My wife and I came to Fenwick Island for a long weekend just to enjoy the seafood. We had eaten pretty good up until lunch today. I just had the best lunch I've had in a long long long time. It started with the owner, Eric. He has such an outgoing personality and his introductory statement was "What questions can I answer?" rather than asking what we wanted. I told him we drove up foe the weekend to eat good seafood and he was thrilled to help. I ended up with a crabcake sandwich, a philly cheesesteak while my wife also got a cheesesteak and we shared a large fry. Eric brought out a crab soup for us to try, which was incredible. It was similar to vegetable soup, with a good amount of crab in it to up the ante. The crabcake sandwich was ridiculously excellent. I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. I couldn't finish my philly but it was great as well. Even the fries were better than most. I can't stress enough how great the crabcake was. If you're on the fence about this place, please please please treat yourself and get a crabcake sandwich! Edit: I should mention our bill was only $38. Definitely affordable compared to some of the competitors, with a definite edge in quality. So to recap: best service, most affordable, by far best taste. The only thing I'd change is to add seating, but that would require a new location which would require more capital (higher prices). I could have eaten this meal in the back of a garbage truck and it would still be better than anything else I had this weekend, so there's definitely no need for change. read more

It's rare I leave reviews but when you find exemplary service it's the right thing to do. I found this business through online reviews and it will now be a must do when we come to oc. Ordered cheesesteaks/fries/sodas and owner delivered. I didn't realize the sodas were missing until he was already gone. Called back to let them know and he came back with sodas plus extra soda and tried to give me money back. It wasn't a big deal about the sodas at all, things happen, but you can tell the integrity of the business based on the outstanding customer experience I had. Excellent food, cheesesteaks/fries were great and can't wait to try more!! read more

Wonderful people and food! The best crab cake ever! Must stop for every trip to Ocean City!
