Rob and Rose greeted and welcomed us. We ordered the Medium steamed Crabs, Crab Cake Sandwich, Crab Bisque, corn on the cob and Hush Puppies. Wow! What a treat so early in the season. The Bisque was excellent. It's not too spicy but they give you extra seasoning and spice to add according to your personal taste. The Crab Cake was just as advertised. No filler, fresh Crab, Eastern Shore style and delicious. The medium crabs were very good. Some establishments would be seeking them as Large. They were seasoned and steamed perfectly. Heavy and sweet. The sides; Corn on the Cob, steamed in the Husk was very good and the Hush Puppies were a perfect pairing. My apologies for lack of pictures, we ate most everything before I started taking pictures. Rob and Rose were very attentive. They told us their story and shared a scrap book of their off season home in New Mexico. They were in the process of training and orienting their summer staff while we enjoyed our meal. The attention to detail, customer first, quality service and passion for excellent food was on full display. The dining is beach rustic and perfect. There's a good amount of parking and it's easy to find them right along coastal highway. What initially seemed like a disappointment today turned into a wonderful discovery of a new favorite. On The Bay Seafood is a must try if you're at the shore this year.

"Baby Ruths and Blue Crabs: a Maryland treasure"…read more Tucked just off the beaten path in southern Maryland sits a true hidden gem of a crab shack -- the kind of place where GPS starts to doubt itself but your nose knows you're close when you catch that glorious whiff of Old Bay and salt air. I ordered several dozen male blue crabs, and the gentleman running the shop steamed them fresh while I waited. He couldn't have been kinder or more helpful -- walking my Yankee self through the local crab routine like a patient professor of Maryland seafood. I even picked up paper and mallets for future crab feasts, because once you start cracking shells, there's no going back. The crabs came out piping hot, juicy, and unbelievably sweet -- some of the best I've ever had, maybe the best. They were just as delicious cold later on, and I had plenty to share (though sharing was optional). The fresh air off the water, the sunshine, and the friendly folks waiting on their own orders made the whole experience feel like a snapshot of authentic coastal life. Before I left, I remembered I had a stash of Baby Ruth candy bars in my trunk -- so naturally, I handed a few out to the kind man steaming the crabs and some fellow customers waiting for their orders. Nothing says "Southern hospitality meets Northern charm" quite like fresh crabs and surprise candy. This isn't a sit-down spot -- it's a genuine crab-to-go shack, and that's exactly its charm. Bring your own cooler if you plan to take a bunch home, because you'll absolutely want to. No frills, no fuss -- just pure Maryland magic by the dozen.

Friendly people on the phone and at the counter - they speak English and actually communicate (also a challenge at some places)! Great value too - which is a difference-maker when so many OC places have gone crazy with their seafood prices. Please keep prices where they are now! We love everything about Rippons!

We walked from our hotel and checked in about 15min before our reservation, and were immediately sat. Don't seem overly busy which is never a good thing in a vacation destination. We were sat along the windows and put in a drink order. I got an old fashioned which was fine. I ordered the cream of crab soup as a starter. Soup was solid, but the flavor was pretty lacking. As my entree I went with the bleu cheese encrusted steak. I ordered it medium-well, which is what you do at a place that doesn't have steak in its name or isn't billed as a steakhouse. That way when the undercook it (as most do) it'll be the preferred medium temp. Anyway, the steak came out and WAS NOT encrusted. The potatoes that were served with it were very good but undercooked and slimy. The vegetables looked just forced and were thrown on the plate to add color not flavor. Our waitress Devin was nice, but she could tell the kitchen wasn't providing a good meal. We skipped dinner and went to Dumser's. Meh - wouldn't go back.

The waiter brings the bill and said some of my drinks were taken cared of (I ordered two in total) and instead only one was removed. Waste of fucking time and money. Manager was as clueless as ever Also chef came out and was making drinks. Wonder if that's why the food sucked
