PGN Crab House

I returned to Ocean City 30 years after my last visit looking for authentic Maryland style crabs. I searched and searched and my wife found PGN and thank God she did. PGN is more reasonable crab prices on All you can eat on the beach. It was very very good. All you can eat before 5pm was 39.95 which is a great price for OC. Each tray has about 12-15 crabs. Crabs were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Now let’s speak to the quality of the crabs. I used to be a commercial fisherman so I’m pretty particular about the crabs, if they’re hard enough, if they’re rusty etc. FYI white bellies are immature crabs you can put your finger through their belly. (Not much meat) Now going to an all you can eat, I was very worried that I was gonna be eating strictly white bellies or poor crabs. Not the case at PGN!!!
First tray had maybe two white bellies. Second tray had maybe 4
3rd tray none
4th tray none
I was shocked at the high-quality crabs that came out on each tray. The last two trays the crabs were so hard and full of meat….I could damn near Couldn’t get the meat out. The crabs were so hard which is a good thing! I am very happy with the quality of the crabs.

The hush puppies were excellent. The beer was cold and reasonably priced.

Atmosphere was that the old timing seafood joint. I loved it as it reminded me of the old days. The staff was kind and friendly and was very attentive. They keep you with plenty of paper towels. Bathrooms are very clean.

Things to be careful with
1. Soda is per glass glass prices. So if you take your kids, you can quickly spend a bunch of money. There is an option to buy a pitcher of soda which may work out better, depending on how many kids you got
2. If you go early like I did at 2 PM you get three hours to eat your crabs before dinner prices start. The All you can eat price increases at 5 PM so if you were trying to save a dollar you need to go early.
3. Come on an empty stomach because they’re gonna give you a bunch of food

I am a very particular person about my crabs, and I would not think twice of sending anybody to PGN crab House. I promise you you will get quality crabs at a reasonable price and you will be very happy. My family of 5 ate for left than $200. 3 of us got all you can eat, the kids got kids meals.

We love PGN. We are up on 80th and make the trek past like 10 other crabs spots to get to them. Love the service and they always have heavy fat crabs at a reasonable price.

Probably the best Blue Crabs we’ve had. We are still enjoying the all you can eat crabs as I type this. I enjoyed the fried seafood platter. Very surprised to see real u12 Sea Scallops, crab cake was excellent quality and shrimp and oysters were great, the fish and clams were as expected. Don’t know the price for the all you can eat crabs as it was listed Market price and we didn’t ask. But from a quality perspective, on the money!!!
