We opted to eat outside and get beer from the adjacent store. We ordered steamed clams, coleslaw, and a dozen of their largest crabs. Unfortunately the clams were sandy and not served with clam broth or butter. Three of the twelve clams were not opened so we were unable to eat them. The coleslaw was good, but the crabs were cooked to perfection.

We had plans to eat at another crab house today but they didn't open until 4pm and we wanted to eat…read moreat noon. We found On The Bay Seafood and decided to give it a try. 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.

Will (who ended up being the owner) made the ordering process so simple, guided us through what went best in the boil order, and even recommended we slim the order to 7 as we added a lot to it. Boil flavor was legit, shrimp, sausage, clams, mussel's and crab legs was our combo. Also added some pulled pork (which blew us away flavor wise), slaw and corn bread as additional food. For a group setting, this was tough to beat, would def do again. Also, I believe it was Grace who handed off our order when we showed up, couldn't have been a nicer person, explained how to dive in, gave us extra sauce. A+ hospitality and food, easy for a group like ours.

This time we got the Jumbo Soft Crab sandwich - includes two very nice sized crabs and both had every leg still attached (you'd be surprised what you get at some other places)! Also got the fried calamari - good sized portion, plus fries. Everything hot and tasty and ready in 15 minutes after we called. 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!

The scallops with crab imperial were fantastic according to my boyfriend. While I am not usually a scallop fan, I too thought they were pretty great. My steak was actually cooked pretty close to correct (medium-rare) so that was a huge plus. Baked potato was very tender yet not overdone!! Also had the lobster and that was very very good. Highly recommend for someone who is new to the seafood world. My daughter's snow crab legs were cooked just right and well-sized. Chicken was slightly overcooked. Pasta salad was a big thumbs up for her. My boyfriend's crab cakes were above average. We all had their famous hushpuppies, they were wayyyyyyy better than Long John Silvers that is for sure!! The first time we were here service was just a tad slow, but then on the next visit (which it was weirdly a lot busier) we had phenomenal service... I might blame that on the elderly age of the lady when we were here first. Both servers were very nice though!! The vibe is pretty laid back and family friendly.

Even though the restaurant was empty... We sat at the bar. I don't drink, so I ordered a water with lemon and an appetizer. The bartender looked at me, quite menacing, and walked away.

But regardless, you don't treat someone like that. No need to scowl. We decided to have dinner in the dining room at that point. Our waitress was kind and pleasant. Service was fast. Cream of crab soup was pretty watery. But the crab cake dinners were delicious. The restaurant appears to be updated with upscale decor and paint. It was a pleasant dining room.
