Margie and Ray's has the best she crab soup! It's loaded with crab meat, and it's thick like a chowder and creamy! I personally use the crackers and scoop the soup on the crackers. It's a meal all by it's self.

Birthday dinner and decided seafood was how we wanted to celebrate 58 years AB’s it had been awhile since we had eaten here. Excellent decision! Fried platter with crab cake, shrimp and scallops. The crab cake was ok but the shrimp and scallops were PERFECT; lightly battered and cooked just right. Hushpuppies were great size and also deep fried to golden beauty. Finished with a chocolate cake slice that could feed us both.
Fish and chips were also good!

Excellent she crab soup!! It is very chunky. Delicious. We loved the Hatteras clam chowder too. Wonderful flavor. The bang bang shrimp is hot and fresh. Out of this world. The mimosas are only $2 on Saturday’s! You can get a double for $4. Taylor provided outstanding service too. I will be back very soon!!

We got the tidal feast, I believe is what it's called. It was delicious and fed 4 adults. It was so much food that we ended up taking a bunch home. Highly recommend

Never disappoints! We make time to stop in on our yearly visit to Sandbridge and are always pleased! Yummy food, delightful bloodies and of course, always 4-5 quarts of She-crab soup to bring home!

Honestly, the place seems a bit over-hyped. Nothing wrong with it, food is fresh but uninspired. The price is right but I thought the portions were on a smaller side. When we got the catch of the day (swordfish) I thought it was a joke. The filet was so tiny it wouldn't even pass as an appetizer. Overall not bad , but will try other places next time.

We were recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint! We got the bang bang shrimp(not pictured)and the Barrier reef. Everything was cooked to perfection, and that was the best crab I have ever had. Our server was also super friendly and helpful as was the rest of the staff. We will definitely be going again when we are in the area.

Had been here more than once before to have their famous blue crabs but this go round was for Saturday morning breakfast!
Place was packed as usual but got our table pretty quick. Everything came out as ordered and looked and tasted great.
Their breakfast menu has plenty of traditional options from pancakes to specialty omelets. They also have plenty of Benedict’s to choose from and all the traditional breakfast meat options that you would find in the south! Got the Whirlpool which is just all kinds of things piled on each other. Potatoes had good flavor which can sometimes be hard to find at breakfast joints that serve them in this style. Corn beef hash is canned but still good, of course. Benedict’s come out looking divine. Liked that the menu had tons of options and the prices weren’t too bad. With it being a packed house, service lagged but still was friendly and as quick as possible under the circumstances.

Great food, service and can't beat the lunch specials.
Thursday specials include scallops that you can get fried, grilled, or backend.
The fried scallops are cooked perfect. The special comes with choice of two sides and a beverage.
The fried chicken is also fantastic.
- choice of white or dark meat, two sides, and a beverage.
We love Margie & Ray's.

This is a very laid-back, nothing fancy, family owned seafood restaurant. The staff was friendly and welcoming. It was a busy Saturday, but we were seated right away. There's inside dining, bar seating, and outside patio seating. Seaside dining decor. This is a great place for families. They serve plenty of seafood options. They also serve a pork barbecue as an alternative to seafood. The shecrab soup was just OK. It had more of a pudding consistency than a soup. The hush puppies were tasty and not greasy. I sampled the pork barbecue. The barbecue was decent, filling, and good with a sauce. I went with the crabcake, blackened. It was wonderful, I highly recommend it if you like a spicy kick. They use lump crab with little filler. They make homemade desserts. We took home some keylime pie for later. It did not disappoint, sweet and tart. Prices are a little above average.
