Everyone is kind and knowledgeable. Everything is fresh and delicious! It's a little pricy. But, it's worth every penny. They have outdoor seating. So, if the weather is bad. Be ready, to take it to go. Every time we're in town, Crabs-To-Go is our go to spot. We've ordered crab cakes, cream of crab soup, and plenty of other sides. The cream of crab soup is my favorite. It's creamy, flavorful, and rich. You will get a bite of crab in every spoon full. It's sweet, flaky, and delicate! Pure heaven. Make sure to stir it if you're sharing. The crab falls all to the bottom. Cream of Crab Soup- This soup is smooth, rich, and velvety. It is made in house the potatoes are soft and creamy, the vegetables are soft and flavorful, and the crab melts in your mouth! If you love crab, this soup is made for you. It has so many layers of dreamy, delicious, seafood flavors. It's very rich. So, don't eat too much, lol. Try your best to control yourself. Maryland Crab Cake Meal-This meal is a little bit pricy is cost $45 for two crab cakes and two sides. But, it's worth it! The crab cakes are crumbly, and crispy on the outside. And, light and flaky on the inside. They're briny, savory, and delicious all in one bite I like it with just a touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice. It adds that fresh pop of acidity that ties the whole dish together. Onion Rings- The onion rings were crunchy, crispy, and chewy on the outside, and juicy, sweet, and succulent on the inside. They were cooked to perfection! One of the best onion rings that I've ever had! FRIES The fries were crispy and crunchy on the outside while being creamy on fluffy on the inside. They were pure heaven! And, they had a zesty salty seasoning on the outside that made them pure perfection! All in all, from the minute that you walk up to the second that you walk out. Everything is absolutely perfect! If you come here, you'll definitely have a new favorite spot to come. But, most of all. You'll have a heavily meal. No mater, what you choose to get. So, stop by for some fresh seafood. You won't regret it!

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.

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!

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.
