Belly Busters

Belly Busters is hands-down one of our Ocean City traditions! My husband and I have been coming to OC for about 15 years, and every single trip we make sure to stop in — the food is always amazing. Now that we have kids, we bring them along too, and they absolutely enjoyed the seafood just as much as we do. It’s the kind of spot that never disappoints — fresh, flavorful, and always worth the visit. A true Ocean City gem!

I read reviews so I thought I would love the food. I found it to be a waste of money. We ordered half a dozen of “large” crabs and 3 crabs were meaty. 1 crab was completely empty. 2 crabs was sooo small. Everything else tasted frozen besides the wings. The wings were good. That’s it. $156. 00 so not worth it. The waitress was attentive . I will never return.

During our visit to Ocean City, we found Belly Busters to be the nearest open restaurant to our accommodations at 9 pm on a stormy night. I had a strong craving for fried oysters, and I was fortunate to find them on their menu. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and the interior had a welcoming and cozy ambiance. Upon entering, their staff warmly greeted us, seated us, and engaged in a pleasant conversation when they learned we were not locals and that it was my first time in Ocean City. The service was efficient and attentive. We ordered the seafood platter, Conch Fritters, and Fried Oysters. Of the three dishes, I found the Fried Oysters to be the most satisfying, which is what I had come for in the first place. However, the food fell short in some aspects; it was o

Expect like a dive bar vibe with just a couple servers working super hard. They seemed spread too thin and the kitchen couldn’t keep up with orders when it was busy, but the food was so so good. The mozzarella sticks were AMAZING, and the fried shrimp and crab legs were also soooo good! We went back a second time. I’d go back again, just with the service could be a bit more efficient, but our server was attentive and nice.

really really good food in my opinion & pretty fair prices considering the area this is in. hamburger’s GREAT and comes with two patties (the meat is actually amazing and is smashed) and the fried oyster sandwich is veryyy good. service is pretty fast when you call ahead for pick-up, takes around 10 minutes? the order of recommendation I have is probably: - hamburger (best value imo, only $10!!) - fried oyster sandwich (comes with a good amount of meat, the breading is delicious) - wings (kinda expensive but GOOD. the sauce is delicious) - fried rockfish tacos - blackened fish tacos - fried flounder sandwich (solid price and pretty good) - shrimp (comes shell-on and while I do enjoy shrimp, I don’t feel like the flavors permeated through the shell that much. maybe that’s just me) overall
