Truly and amazing place – your perfect “hole in the wall” experience. Marty, the owner, was extremely friendly and answered all our questions. The food is some of the best, if not the best, I’ve had in the greater Tampa area. I had the Maryland crab cake and my friend had the soft shell crab sandwich – both cooked to perfection. Plus, they make their own hot sauce (which they keep behind the counter), but it is really flavorful with the right amount of heat.
We will 100% return! Don’t miss out on a local gem!

The crabcake sandwich was amazing packed with fresh lump crab, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to a golden crisp. The crab eggrolls were crispy on the outside with a rich, flavorful crab filling inside. And the potato salad was excellent creamy, fresh, and the perfect side to tie everything together. Definitely ordering again!

Had the crab bisque and fish n chips. Both were amazing!!! The bisque was overflowing with crab and perfectly seasoned. The fish n chips came with kettle chips and slaw both of which were to die for. I think thd guy working was named Marty and he had impeccable customer service. Will definitely be becoming a regular here!!!!

My wife, our young Grandson and I ate at Old Bay Cafe on a late Saturday morning.
OBC is a small outdoor establishment with picnic-style and high-top tables. The dining area is very casual, covered and directly adjacent to the parking area.
We ordered the kids Macaroni and Cheese for our Grandson. It was tasty and well- received.
My wife ordered the Softshell Crab Sandwich and chose as her complimentary side the Corn-On-The-Cob. It all tasted great. The Corn side was deftly-seasoned with Old Bay Seasoning.
I ordered the Crab Bisque soup (depicted here after it was half-finished). It was tomato-based, hearty and with good flavor reminiscent of a Manhattan Clam Chowder.
I also ordered a Shrimp Salad Sandwich and chose a side of Potato Salad. The Shrimp in the sandwich was ample and fairly large in size. This sandwich was very flavorful. I would order it again. The Potato Salad was not bad but did not stand out.
Service was good – the person who took our order at the window came out and served us.
Overall, the food at Old Bay Cafe is worth a visit. We will return again and I recommend Old Bay Cafe.

Just had lunch at Old Bay Cafe in Trinity, FL & felt like I was back in Maryland with the food. Marty & Channel thanks for an amazing lunch! The food was so incredible I had to get a crab cake & shrimp salad burrito to bring home for dinner! Channel gave us such cheerful and accommodating service while Marty made us one of the best meals I’ve had while in FL. Crab cake was a massive 5 oz all lump crab cake- broiled perfectly on the outside. And they are right when they say they don’t fake the cake! My husband had the old bay tenders with homemade old bay potatoe chips. He was raving after every bite! We are looking forward to this becoming our new Saturday lunch spot! I couldn’t believe how cheap the prices were for such quality food! 10/10 must try spot!! They even have snowballs!!!!!! If you are a former native Marylander or just a local that loves great food this is a must go! Kudos to Marty & Channel! Thank you, Ashlee & Mike Tennant

I discovered this place last week and am obsessed with it!! Marty, the owner, was incredibly friendly and helpful and welcoming. And the food was so amazing! So far I’ve had the soft shell crab sandwich (which was delicious) and the soup. And the kettle chips are made in-house and perfect! I absolutely love this place and the atmosphere and everything about it. You’ve got to go here!
