Twinny wrap

I got a twinny wrap here for takeout lunch with a couple people I work with. The other items in the order were shrimp wraps. I went to pick up the food -- the store is in the same parking lot as Prickly Gal and it's a cute little place. There's nowhere to eat inside, definitely a grab and go kind of place, but there's some tables and whatnot outside if it's a nice day and you want to eat out there. My wrap was pretty good. Fish and shrimp and lettuce and tomato. No sauce or anything, though, so I'm glad I said yes when the girl at the register asked if I wanted some cocktail and tartar sauce. My coworkers also thought their wraps were good, but we all had the same consensus -- although the ingredients seemed fresh and good quality, there was a lack of seasoning and the portions were very small. Pluses and minuses that even out to good enough. I'm not disappointed, but it'll probably be a while before/if I come back.

Crab Cake sandwich - super meaty and tasty!

This is an amazing new location to visit when staying in Bethany Beach- specially during COVID social distancing! Not only are the food options amazing but also very reasonably priced. The crab cakes were very meaty and the black bean burger, friend pickles, soft shell crab sandwich, and Shaka burger with crab dip on top were delicious. Perfect for getting reasonably priced sea food away from the crowded boardwalk and with plenty of outdoor picnic tables to eat outside. The staff was also really helpful and polite. We will be visiting this restaurant every year we stay at the beach from now on.

We all agreed that we'll definitely keep returning for lunch, happy hour, or dinner.

With that being said, I ordered their signature Hush Crabbies and they were delicious. To explain, the crabbies had a crispy outer crust and a soft, warm, cake-like center. They combined a rich corn flavor with a mild touch of sweetness and savory. In addition, the crab meat tasted fresh and flavorful. I just wish they put more crab meat inside the hush puppy. To put it briefly, Upscale Crab and Seafood food truck offers tasty Hush Crabbies that deserve your attention.

Where do I even begin? With Kevin, the amazing owner whose hospitality is second to none? Or with…read morethe incredible food? We pulled up to The Upscale Crab & Seafood Truck without expecting much because it's been so hard to find truly great seafood in Bethany and Ocean City. You'd think being so close to the ocean would mean amazing seafood is everywhere but that's definitely not the case. From the moment we arrived, Kevin made us feel welcome. His hospitality, honesty, and passion for his food are some of the best we've experienced in a long time. He took the time to explain every item on the menu, which includes crabs, crab cakes, lobster rolls, fried shrimp, fried fish, steamed shrimp, hand-cut fries, coleslaw, and hush crabbies. What really impressed us was his honesty. Instead of trying to sell us everything, Kevin recommended the items that were at their best that day. For example, he suggested skipping the fried fish because the day's catch wasn't as large as usual. Instead, he recommended the crab cake platter and the lobster roll. And even gave us a sample of the lobster roll which is delicious. We ended up getting a dozen large crabs, which he generously gave us a discount on, along with the crab cake platter. Every single bite was outstanding. The crabs were perfectly seasoned, and the crab cake was packed with fresh crab and absolutely delicious. Without a doubt, The Upscale Crab & Seafood Truck serves the best crabs and seafood we've had in Bethany Beach and Ocean City. I'll be in town for the next week, and this will absolutely be my go-to spot for seafood. If you're looking for fresh seafood, generous portions, and exceptional customer service, don't miss this place!

Building on my previous review from July 2026, here is a summary of our two most recent visits with…read morefriends, who were recently visiting us from Bergen County, New Jersey: First Visit: Dinner for Three I booked a 5:00 PM dinner reservation for three on OpenTable for an outdoor fire porch table and was seated right away by the host. Since it was August, the fire table wasn't lit due to the heat. I ordered the boardwalk bourbon peach smash ($15), which I really enjoyed. For my main course, I selected the daily special: a 16-ounce medium-rare ribeye served with a vegetable medley ($60). The ribeye was exceptionally tender, cooked perfectly, and delicious, though the price point was a bit unexpected. The vegetable medley was also unique and flavorful. Our server, Tyler M., provided excellent service, bringing our total bill to $163. Second Visit: Group Brunch/Lunch We returned for brunch/lunch with three visiting friends from Bergen County, New Jersey, and Washington DC. We were seated inside at a table for five. Although Bloody Marys were unavailable, I enjoyed another boardwalk peach smash ($15) alongside a pulled pork sandwich with french fries ($18). The pulled pork was tender and full of flavor. However, the french fries were under-salted, and without a salt shaker at the table (and having not requested one), they were a bit disappointing. Our server, Brandon G., took great care of us. The bill came to $158 before tip. We look forward to returning again for lunch or dinner.

I know the restaurant industry is difficult, and I am usually not one to write bad reviews, but…read morethis one is justified. Don't be lured by the great ocean views. This is still a hotel restaurant, and a mediocre one at best. The good . . . great views of the Atlantic and decent drinks. The bad . . . just about everything else. I'll preface this by saying that I was not going to write a review despite the underwhelming experience, but after the final straw, I simply can't resist. We started with a round of cocktails that were attractive and well mixed. The night was off to a good start. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. Appetizers were fried cauliflower and calamari. Entrees were crabcakes, a Caesar salad topped with a crabcake, seafood bucatini, and seafood stew. Service was indifferent at best. Server did not offer any specials until asked and did not know how to handle problems (see below). The appetizers came out and were fine. The cauliflower was fried, but not as crispy as a really good fried cauliflower. The chipotle aioli had a nice flavor. Calamari was well fried, but the sauce was overly salty. Then came the entrees. The seafood bucatini was the highlight in that it was perfectly acceptable. For $52, I expect a meaty crabcake with lots of jumbo lump. This crabcake was loaded with filler. As for the caesar salad, the menu says it comes with "Shaved parmesan, anchovies, croutons, house made caesar dressing." But the salad came out with no croutons. When we asked the server, he said they ran out of croutons and he needed to bring the manager over to offer a solution (which turned out to be sunflower seeds, smashed cashews, and leftover bread from the kitchen - when we said we'll take them, the server said we may be charged for keeping all three). Lettuce was also the top of the romaine, which was mushy and needed the non-existent croutons to save it. Then there's the seafood stew. The bowl came out with no spoon and no bread (and no plate for shells, but I guess that's not a necessity). They brought a spoon when asked, but said it doesn't come with bread, and we would need to order bread if we wanted it. Seemed odd, but okay. The broth was ridiculously salty and borderline inedible. We paid and left feeling like it was fine, but we probably won't return on future visits to Bethany. Then we checked the menu to see what it said about the seafood stew. Sure enough, it is supposed to come with "grilled bread." Perhaps they ran out of it with the croutons, but to say we would need to order it separately reflects a lack of knowledge of the menu, complete indifference, blatant lying, or all of the above. Beyond that, the pop music was far too loud for a restaurant that wants to be a decent restaurant. The view was nice, but I feel like I just threw my money into the ocean.

You know they are both the same owner or at least the same franchise even though slightly different names and a slight different array of offerings. This location at the inside area of the same plaza has seating and more seafood. They use quality bread for their oyster po-boy and and use slightly different ingredients compared to the po-boy at DB-Fries. I forget what the ingredients were at both places- you can investigate yourself, lol. I just wanted good food and to stay out of the slight rain on this particular day. The fries are fresh and well done. Better than Thrashers imo and not a line. Looking back, I probably should've gotten the lobster roll here and the po-boy at Henlopen instead because at Henlopen, it's a combination of seafood instead. Nonetheless, the seafood here was fresh and if it's not a bad day and love seafood, you probably can't really make a wrong choice Staff here is friendly.

The coleslaw had what I believe to be horseradish or something in it that set it aside from all the other local ones. It was super tasty. The fries were decent but nothing special just all around good fries (maybe the need a special sauce for those to set them off). Service was short and to the point and not much of a vibe or ambiance for a snack shack style.
