It's been a fabulous adventure since we purchased the land in 1978, which then was a corn field. In 1981 we started building the Big Barn on the Bay. It took 6 months to build. The gala Grand Opening was in June of 1982 and some 1800 people enjoyed the festivities. Throughout the years we would travel and find awesome artifacts for our customers to enjoy each season.
We offer the best when it comes to crabs. You can grab some to go in our famous Wooden Caboose, or dine in with us in the Barn or at Sneaky Pete's overlooking the bay. Either choice is a welcome one, we just want to offer the best in service and a smile on your face as you enjoy the meal we have planned for you.
So Come Make Memories With Us! And we'll make sure it's one you won't forget.

This is an amazing place! We happened to see it when we were driving by and we're really glad that we did.
It's a really cool place with a ton of stuff hanging on the walls, or from the ceiling. There's even a gift shop.
Dinner was really outstanding. It was probably the best meal we had in Ocean City Maryland and the service was extremely friendly and attentive. They were really great with our dietary restrictions as well.
We started with a few appetizers, the crab chowder (which was very good), the shrimp (which were very well seasoned and cooked), and the basket of crab claws (which was probably our favorite thing that we ordered). The crab claws come well seasoned with a mallet to crack the claws and the blue crab meat was delicious!
For dinner we got a couple of platters, one platter had snow crab legs, lobster, and a fried crab cake, and the other platter had flounder, shrimp, scallops, and broiled crab cake. Everything was delicious and well cooked. It was the best crab cakes we had our entire trip!
Hooper's Crab House is now one of our favorite restaurants in Ocean City, Maryland and one we'll be going back to every time we're there for sure. We highly recommend checking out Hooper's for a great meal!

Food was pretty good, the crab legs were not as moist as what we are use to. Other items like the crab cakes were tasty though.
Service was legit, shout out to Gannon for keeping us right during our visit.
Also big shout out to this establishment for honoring our Veterans with Military discount, much appreciated!

This is our third summer in OCMD and we have been coming to Sneaky Pete for the food every single time. This summer Anna was our waitress. She was great, attentive, and quick. I ordered the all you can eat crabs and it was so good and so hot and fresh! The crabs was big and worth it. My stomach could only handle 8 crabs. I wish I could have eaten more. Thanks for the great food, great memories, and thanks Anna for your amazing service. Will
Be back next summer.
Be back next summer.
