    Party of six was immediately seated and served. The service was prompt and the food was delivered to the table very quickly. The place has plenty of outdoor seating and a play area. The appetizers were delivered without small plates or silverware so we had to wait The server delivering the appetizers didn't even stop to ask if we needed anything like silverware. It was a drive by at best. The rest of the time there was good.

    A pretty restaurant with Great views and a wonderful menu. There's one day a week where they do buck a shuck for oysters. Service was good the visits we had after Labor Day.

    The location, view, and service was wonderful. The food was what I have to give 3 stars for, I felt like it could be better. Not sure if it was the scallops or what but immediately afterwards had felt some stomach issues. The interior of the restaurant is clean and nice, the vibe was good, just the food was maybe not the freshest. My opinion of a restaurant is mainly on the food or service then prices and everything else is secondary. Although the service was great, this time the food really ruined it for me. I hope they pay attention to this review and revamp the menu with the best tasting and freshest ingredients, this can make or break a place like this.

    We stopped into Ropewalk pretty late in the evening, probably about an hour before closing, so it wasn't busy at all. Honestly, that worked in our favor because it had a laid-back, almost locals-only kind of feel, which was perfect for what we wanted--a relaxing nightcap before calling it a night. The bartender was great. I don't remember his name, but he was friendly, welcoming, and didn't make us feel rushed even though we came in so close to closing. He made some really solid drinks, too. I went with their coconut freeze, and he was kind enough to adjust it for me and make it without lime, which I really appreciated since not every place is that accommodating. It was creamy, tropical, and exactly the kind of drink you want at the beach. My friend tried the red, white, and blue drink that came with a firecracker popsicle--super fun presentation and surprisingly really good. Definitely the kind of cocktail that makes you feel like you're on vacation. We didn't get to try the food since the kitchen had already closed by the time we got there, but that was our own fault for coming in so late. From the look of the menu, though, there are definitely things I want to come back for. Ropewalk has the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to spend a little more time there, whether you're eating, drinking, or both. All in all, it ended up being a perfect spot for a late-night drink, and I'm already looking forward to going back earlier in the evening so we can give the food a try. Based on the drinks and service alone, it's worth a visit

    What started off as a quick dinner after a long drive became our go-to spot for our entire stay in ocean city. We even designated a server who was an absolute cutieeee (Louis). The crab stuffed eggroll app and they wings were our go-to everytime. The restaurant felt homie and had beautiful views of the water and even sunset. I will definitely be back when I travel here again!

    Service: ok. The server was friendly and informative but the restaurant is empty and we asked for different table, and was declined with the reason of rsvp. It's hard to believe as it's 8:45 when we got there. Food: bada bing shrimp is a must try. So flavorful and plenty of shrimp compared with price. Crab egg rolls is also delicious with lots of crab meat. Crab chowder is tasteful as well. I was full after appetizers and could not try their main dishes. Maybe next time Ambient: it's a bit loud, compared with small customers, big place with plenty of rooms between tables Price : reasonable Overall: it is great, won't mind coming back

    Good service, our waitress was very friendly. The food was pretty good. I ordered crab egg rolls which were very tasty with fresh crab. I recommend them. I also ordered the redrock fish tacos which tasted okay. I think that the small amount of fish and toppings with subpar fries did not measure up to its price. The view outside was wonderful.. Overall, it's a nice restaurant to go to when visiting.

    Mango margarita

    We stopped bu Ropewak in OC for lunch during our Fourth of July getaway. The atmosphere was fun and festive, and the food was a mix of hits and misses. I had the crab cake, and it was really good-definitely the highlight of my meal! We also ordered the calamari, which was tasty, and I enjoyed a mango margarita that was refreshing and delicious. My daughter had the shrimp o, which unfortunately she didn't like. We also tried the fish bowl slushee made with grape juice-great in theory but not so great in taste. We ended up tossing it after just one sip. Customer service was ok, but honestly could have been better. Nothing major, just not as attentive or warm as we hoped for, especially during a busy holiday weekend. All in all, a decent spot with great views and some standout menu items-just a few things that could've made it a more consistent experience.

    The crew was pumped for a really good meal, and the PLAYGROUND!

    This place is great. We have come every year for the last 5 on vacation. Great kids menu, great playground while you wait. Quick and good drinks at the bar. Excellent menus and food. I cannot say I've had a bad meal here. The outside seating is great, even though I prefer inside, inside is comfortable too. They are always busy, which is always a good sign, but the consistency for me is what keeps us coming back. I had Cajun catfish this year and it was fantastic...we returned 4 days later and I HAD to order it again! The fried green tomatoes are one of the best appetizers I've had in OCMD and I think are a must order. Bang bang shrimp are also a great starter. Solid soup too of you're a soup person.

    Came here a few years ago on our last trip to Ocean City and fell in love with this restaurant. Came back and it was still just as amazing! The food is delicious and has great portions. The crab cake egg rolls were my favorite on the menu. The oysters we got were also delicious. I love the mermaid water! There's also something nice about getting a small pitcher of water when you order. I loved that! The views are spectacular and the service is great

    This place was everything we were looking for in terms of easy, casual dining at the beach with good food, rum drinks, and a great ocean and sunset view on the bayside. We only waited for about 20 min which wasn't bad given the crowds Memorial Day weekend and they seemed very efficient. Good spot to have a drink at the outdoor bar while you wait. The crab stuffed halibut was the clear winner and would love to have that again soon. The scallops and orzo were also great. Mac and cheese was a bit dense but good. And fireworks on summer Saturdays at 9:45pm topped off a great evening. Highly recommend for a summer night at the beach.

    This was a solid dining experience. We were looking for low key food options higher up costal highway and this fit the bill. It was slow on a Friday night, but started to pick up a bit after 10pm surprisingly. The service was good and I enjoyed my food--- the jerk chicken was not jerk chicken (which I didn't expect it to be), but it had a good flavor. The place had a tiki bar vibe, and I imagine during peak season its a good place to hang out in the sand filled outdoor seating.

    Ahi tuna tacos
    Becca S.

    We have been to ropewalk many times. It is by far my kids favorite place. It is probably the best beach ambiance restaurant in ocean city. It has the kids play ground, beach bar with tropical drinks, bands, fire pits, tikis, and more. The food is very dependent on what you order if it's good. The tacos and fried food are always good, although I wish they did something to the tortilla for the tacos. The salads feel cheap and light for what you get, so I generally steer clear of those. My kids always LOVE their meals. The kids menu is just done right. The service is also quick. If you're with kids it's perfect. If you are just on a date night or with adult family, I would feel rushed. My assessment, I'm here to late night party with the good drinks or to keep my kids entertained while I enjoy an ok meal.

    Tonight we returned to one of our old regular stops when in OC. Last time we stopped in was…read moreprobably 2022, since that time much has changed, both with Whiskers (IYKYK) as well as us. SO, we decided we had the time, we were hungry & nearby, so we made our way to what is now called Whiskers Saloon. We were greeted warmly by Jay who was manning both the bar and customers at tables. We took some time to peruse the 2 page menu looking for both old favorites and what's new. I decided to try one of my usual sandwiches, The Rachel for comparison sake & added Sweet potato fries (additional upgrade). I asked & was happy the special spicy sauce I loved to combine with the fries was still available under a different name, Texas sauce. I will say, my sandwich was much better than in "the old days" because this was made with actual carved turkey thick slices as opposed to thin cold cut turkey from prior ownership. I was a happy camper! My hubby tried something new to him at Whiskers, he had a chicken cheesesteak sub and was pleasantly surprised and impressed to find it was not finely chopped up chicken, but cut up grilled chicken chunks with nicely sautéed onions. We were happy to return, pleased to find that good quality & taste was still there and its what we were used to after almost 15 years of frequenting here. We were happy to see Commanders game & flag displayed for this Sunday game with many fans inside boisterously enjoying the game playingon all the tvs. All day specials were going on today and Jay told us everything they were offering on the specially priced menu which was a nice extensive list of bar food and drinks, including $3 Yeungling.

At least three couples at the bar out of five gave us side-eyed views, then whispered like the kids in second grade do. Whatever. We sat at the bar and the bartender, who looked to had been there since the place opened, took about 10 minutes to get to us. She wasn't busy and nobody was ordering anything, she was just at the other end of the bar... pondering life? Anyway, we eventually got our beers and sat down at a wobbly, sticky table by the door. The place is quiet as a cemetery and there really isn't much to look at. There is a diner set up on the other side of the room which was completely empty, thus contributing to the overall ambiance. A few minutes later another couple walked in and sat down at the bar. They asked the bartender a question I didn't hear and she replied "I don't know nothing about nothing." Then she walked away. A group of four walked in, each of them having some severe medical ailment, and slowly scanned the place with squinted eyes. One of them said through a few layers of phlegm "They got sandwiches over here," and they all proceeded to maneuver their walkers in the direction of the diner side. We left about 30 seconds afterwards. I give it 2 stars for the entertainment value it has but that's all you'll find worth checking out.
