Arrived at restaurant early. We were the only patrons for a while because of an accident that closed a bridge. Our waiter, Stephen, was friendly and accommodated many of our requests. The food was delicious. The drinks were good. When drink #2 didn't taste like drink #1, the bartender remixed and brought new drinks. He figured out why, and that led to drink #3. Would definitely go again.

Higgins is one of those Ocean City traditions you always have to do. The crabs were plentiful, the beverages were great, the service was top-notch, I couldn’t find one thing to complain about. We do Higgins every time we’re in Ocean City at least once sometimes two or three times.
