Ocean Odyssey Seafood Restaurant

WHAT A RIPOFF!!!
I ordered 4 jumbo crabs that were listed as $ 60 a dozen ($ 5 a crab) on the chalk board. When the bill came, they charged me $ 10 a crab. I asked the manager what’s up and she said they always charged more for less than a dozen. Not only does it make no sense, but nowhere in the restaurant does it say that, nor did the waitress tell me that. Fool me once …

Stopped here based on reviews we found on Unilocal.We waited 35 minutes for our food. Once the food arrived it was terrible. Four of us ordered the fish and chips while my wife ordered a sandwich called Bay on a Bun. The fish batter was soft and funky tasting. The fries were not crispy but stale. The fish on the sandwich was inedible.

Great food and kind staff. Fresh fish and easy access on the way to Chincoteague. Highly recommend!

We were just driving through Cambridge and needed to eat. We had our dog with us and saw some outside seating. That’s how we discovered Ocean Odyssey. Our dog loved the patio and we loved the food. The crab cakes were perfect. We loved the cabbage and bacon. Their pickled beets were pickled perfectly with just the right amount of cloves. If we lived here we would become regulars Oh and they have a great craft beer selection

Our family stopped here for lunch while visiting Cambridge. The restaurant was fairly empty when we entered and our waitress’ first words when we asked how she was doing were, «Very stressed!» Um, ok? Service went downhill from there. She took forever to take our order and didn’t know much about the menu. At some point (around 30 minutes after ordering) I asked the waitress how long it would take, since at least 4 other tables had received their meals despite being seated after us, and she looked at me blank-​faced, «I don’t know.» So I asked if she could look into it which she agreed to do. However, she never came back! I then asked the woman at the front counter if SHE could check since our waitress couldn’t be bothered. Our waitress finally delivered the food, nearly throwing it down in front of me. I legitimately asked her if something was wrong and she said no.
Now, I know this is harsh. BUT, on the PLUS side: the owner/​manager Laura came by shortly thereafter clearly having been told about our experience. She was very pleasant & apologetic and offered to make it right (which she did.)
On to the food: hush puppies, fish tacos and the Big Seafood sandwich (or whatever it’s called) were very tasty. We didn’t get to try the extensive craft beer menu but it looked great.
Really poor service, maybe it was an off-​day or a new waitress. But a friendly owner and good kitchen.

Amazing food and great service. «Bay on a bun» was delicious. So were the crabs. The waitress was very patient and beautiful décor inside. Great experience.

What a joke. First we wanted to eat at the tables outside. They can’t serve outside because «that’s they way we do things» according to the hostess. But we can order our food and take it outside so we are seated and order our lunch. 45 minutes later (we were the only family in the place) the waitress sets up her tray stand and we tell her well that we’ll carry our plates outside. «Let me check on that.» She comes back to tell us she’ll have to package it to go. So we agreed and waited another 10 minutes (I thought the food was ready). When the food finally came out, only 4 of the 5 orders came out. I reminded the waitress that one item was missing. She went to the kitchen then came back saying, «it will be right out». So I ask to pay the check and my wife notices that two of the orders are incorrect. The waitress was clueless so we just placed all of the food, untouched, on the cashier counter and told them not to bother. I cant comment on the quality of the food but the service was deplorable.

Really great find en route back to DC from Ocean City. I knew there had to be something good in Cambridge and this is it. Tons of craft beers, good seafood — I definitely recommend the Bay on a Bun — and a relaxing but still smart looking place.

It’s simply not very good. I guess most people’s taste buds are defective. Anyone give this place more then 3 stars needs to learn what food taste like. Fair warning good luck!

Steamed crabs were good – though the «new» Old Bay doesn’t taste right to me; when I was a college kid, it was pepper and more red pepper. Now, it’s salty. I understand it’s changed over the years. But the crabs were sweet and delicious. We had corn, Maryland Crab Soup (made fresh) and shared a dozen oysters on the half shell which were also delicious. The kids enjoyed either crab or chicken fingers. The chicken nugget/​finger was tasty (swapped a corn for a nugget from one kid.) Lemonade came with plenty of refills. Happy service. I enjoyed it.

We had heard good things about Ocean Odyssey and thought we’d give it a try. We went for lunch on a weekend past normal lunch hours. There were several tables available but each needed to be bussed. It took over 15 minutes to get one cleared. Then it took 10 to 15 to get a waitress to take our drink order. From start to finish with no dessert it almost took 2 hours.
Food was alright but nothing that would make me come back. You can get similar and better food in town with a better view or vibe, and same or less price than this highway side joint.
We also thought it was at least 25 percent overpriced for what it was.

Hubby wanted soft shell crab, and he got it off the brunch menu on a huge BLT. He grinned the entire time he was eating it. The fries were good too. I had blackened blue catfish which was good. Skip the cabbage & bacon side unless you like caraway.

Amazing turkey sandwich and steamed crabs! Fresh food! Highly recommend this spot in Cambridge.

Wow is the first word that comes to mind after going there. That is the best seafood i have had ever. The seafood there is caught fresh everyday thats why the fish isn’t the same every time you go there. First the apps we got 12 crab tots for 6 people it was really good. They were nice and golden brown. The meat inside was very tender. Then we ate fresh Maryland blue crab. It had just been got that day like all the food there. It was hard but worth it because how fresh and tender it was. You were able to dip it in apple cider vinegar and an amazing seasoning. For the main course i got fresh Mahi tacos which had great flavor. The fish was very tender and cooked to perfection. The sauce inside with the onions lettuce and i think maybe i tasted some pico de gallo. The wait was not very long and the service was great i also had a great root beer to drink. I ran into a similar thing as to specific gravity were they didn’t have Dr. Pepper and Mt. Dew but the root beer was better than a lot of brands. It was a great place and i would go back. I would also recommend giving it a try if you want really good seafood because of how fresh it is. ~Critic Kid

Fish tacos were delish! Cream of crab soup was good but I’ve had better-​it was a tad gelatinous and needed some old bay. Mimosa was weak. Great service and better than expected based on their signage and location.

We had a work event here last night. We picked crabs, ate oysters, and drank all night. The food, beer selection, service and ambiance were amazing. I would recommend this place to anybody.

Stopped in for a Sunday Brunch. Was a little concerned because the parking lot was empty. They open for business at 10am on Sundays and we arrived 10:05am. Their were four people in our party. All of us enjoyed our food, the service was excellent and the place was very clean. This is well worth the stop heading home from the Beach. I recommend the Jumbo Lump Crap Omelette with a side of pancakes.

Excellently diverse menu, revolving around fresh crab. Affordable also. Great local beer selection and two gluten free drink options. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great road accessibility also.

Cute place with great mural on the outside wall. Unfortunately we couldn’t eat that. My fish in my fish and chips were huge portions but too big to cool properly. They were too greasy and almost not completely done. The fries were cold. My daughter had one of the fish sandwiches with the blue crab on it. She said it was ok. My grand-daughter’s fish sandwich was more grease than fish. We threw away the other half. Disappointing first meal in our visit to Cambridge.

Great place for steamed seafood and steamed vegetables. Yup, you heard that right. They pamper their steamed crabs in Old Bay, they serve scrumptiously succulent steamed shrimp, and they have very fresh steamed broccoli and corn on the cob.
They’re also procuring quite a great beer selection, so I would recommend a flight or two with dinner.
