You really can't go wrong with a dozen raw local oysters and grilled flounder. We ripped through…read morethe oysters like someone was about to take them away. Chincoteague oysters are clean tasting, very briny, and super tender. I just had it with a generous squeeze of lemon and that's all I needed. I will dream of those oysters, seriously. The grilled flounder was fresh, but a little under seasoned. It would have been A+ if it had been generously salted before grilling (adding salt at the table just isn't the same). BTW, a flounder platter has three filets - so I'd recommend sharing. The sides were also generously portioned. (Onion rings will make you happy.) We had a great server, we were glad we visited during low season because I bet this place is PACKED when tourists are around.

We thought it was decent but definitely had higher expectations knowing friends and quite a few…read morepeople on the internet seem obsessed with this place. Maybe we'd come back to try something else, but probably we'd just leave this joint for the locals and check out another place. What we got: Cream of crab soup - 4* the best thing of the night. It was delicious and I wish it came with a buttered piece of bread I could dip in it. Coconut shrimp basket - 3* the shrimp are very coconut-y and I realized I just didn't love that. It came with 6 pieces of shrimp, way too many fries (they were only mediocre), 2 delicious hush puppies (best I've ever had), and 1 pickle (nice crunch). The coleslaw side was also good and had apples. Overall though I was disappointed that $17 got me a pretty unsatisfying dish. Fish and chips (friend flounder) - 3* average but nothing to write home about. Once again a lot of fries (obviously, it's a fish and chips meal) but they just weren't that good. The fish was alright as well, malt vinegar and lemon didn't jazz it up as much as was expected. The pickle, coleslaw, and hush puppies were the best part of the meal.

There is a small lot behind the restaurant. It was easy and there was plenty of parking since it was the off season. I did not have a reservation but, I was seated as a party of one pretty quick. The tables were draped with white table cloths, a nice table side light, sweeteners, tall clear glasses with a black napkin and tall salt and pepper shakers. The walls were a darker and lighter gray, hues of black and whites scattered throughout. I was in love with the old photos and the black and white prints throughout. There was a stunning glass sculpture hanging from the center of the dining room. It maybe a Chihuly glass chandelier. If it is not it resembles it. Hues of amber, orange and whites. My waitress came over within a few minutes and took my drink order. She informed me of the specials and brought over some bread, butter and herbed oil. I just had to try the cream of crab. On the menu it states it's a tight lipped recipe. The cream of crab was delicious. They have done their own spin on it. It came out piping hot. It had a slight kick to it, as if there was some sort of pepper in it... jalapeño? Could just be regular ground pepper. Overall, it was pretty good. My meal came with a choice of salad. It was either a garden salad, Caesar salad or tropical salad. I ordered the garden salad with ranch dressing. The salad was ok. Nothing to rave about. It had shoestring carrots, two cherry tomatoes and 2-3 types of lettuce. It did the job. I had the waitress choose my main dish for me. I could not decide. It was between the stuffed shrimp (stuffed with crab imperial), or the crab cakes. I opted for the vegetable of the day which was green beans. My waitress surprised me with stuffed shrimp, broiled. I'm so glad she went with the broiled vs fried option. She said it was the best way to go. The crab imperial was creamy and flavorful. The shrimp were a little on the smaller side. I personally did noThe green beans were nicely seasoned. For dessert I had the waitress choose agin. A choice between their strawberry shortcake which was a special, white chocolate coconut cream pie, or the vanilla crème brûlée. She chose well, the coconut cream pie. It was so good! I saw other tables around me being delivered their food and everything looked really good. This place is definitely a popular eatery. They will remain on the list to come back.

They took the steak off of the bill, after receiving approval, but charged him for his sides of baked potato and green beans which he didn't eat.

Fun, vintage decorations are all about. Relaxed atmosphere. I had a fish 'n chips dish that was excellent. No doubt because the fish was rockfish, I was impressed. One of my favorites, I nearly fell out of the booth when the waitress told me that fact, first time for that. I got 5 pieces of rock, a mound of fries and some slammin' homemade tartar sauce. I wasn't able to consume all the food on the plate (though I tried) and was given extra tartar sauce and lemons for my leftovers box. I sampled hubby's pancakes, and they were memorable. Breakfast is all day here. It's worth the effort to find. If you're a fan of Misty of Chincoteague (like me), Mr. Baldy's is on Ridge Road, the same road as the Beebe family farm.

Riding down Ocean Highway on my harley, looking a place to stop for lunch. I used the GPS on my…read morebike to see what restaurants were on the route. As we were very hungry and didn't want to stop to research where to go, I selected the 1st seafood restaurant. It was about 8 miles away. We had to u-turn and back track about a 1/4 mile as it was on the east side of the divided highway. At first glance, I was disappointed and annoyed. We wanted an actual sit-down restaurant so we could take a break, and what we see is a fresh fish market. It's a really old rundown looking fish market. But like I said, we were really hungry, and there were a few vehicles there. Some had people eating in them, so we went inside. As soon as we walked inside, the smell of fresh seafood hit us. It didn't sink. It smelled really fresh. There's 2 counters inside and no place to sit. The only seating is picnic tables outside. The first counter is the fresh raw seafood, and the 2nd way off to the left is for placing your order. We kill about for a bit while looking at the handwritten menu. An older man with a Russian accent and the sea weathered appernce you'd expect in a lifelong fisherman was helping other customers. When it our turn,it was a hard decision because it seems you can have them cook any of the seafood from the other counter. We both went with the classic fish in chips. What we got to a while as it's completely made to order. Yo! This fish was in the ocean swimming yesterday! It's that fresh! So, the fish was fried flounder filet, and the fries were standard frozen fries with old bay type seasoning. This was the best fried fish I'd had in a very, very long time. The fries weren't bad, but the fish was next level. If you're every driving by and have a hankering for great fresh seafood, stop here. You won't regret it.

Being in mid March, we were offered a table close to the bar (away from the windows), so we'd stay warmer --but we couldn't resist the lure of sitting on the high chairs and looking out at the boat traffic, sparse as it was. So we just kept our light jackets on. Once the food and drinks began arriving and the music cranked up a bit, the place easily felt twenty degrees warmer anyway. The food was really good. Fresh, savory, done just right. The waitress was helpful: proactive, attentive, but also gave space. We ate at several other restaurants in Chincoteague that weekend, but this one was by far the best!

I started off with the crabcake egg rolls and thought they were amazing - they're the main reason I want to come back. They were $18 for four pieces (two egg rolls cut in half), so the pricing isn't really competitive there, but I really enjoyed them. It was backfin meat or something, but there was a lot of it, and they were served hot and crispy with a tasty remoulade. I got the seafood cobb salad as a main. For $23 it was a little underwhelming. It came with a pile of "lump" crabmeat in the middle as well as six medium sized, cold shrimp, bacon, corn, and some whole cherry tomatoes. I kept forgetting there was crab meat in the salad and for the price there wasn't a ton of shrimp. But it was certainly edible, especially with the blue cheese dressing. I tried the pineapple-orange vinaigrette and that was interesting as well. For dessert I got the Mississippi mud cake which was tasty, but pretty small for $8. My partner got a dozen oysters and enjoyed them. We sat inside and the view of the water was gorgeous. It's the beginning of April and it was packed (we waited about 30 minutes) early Friday night. We sat outside in the sandy area until we were called, which was nice. Service was friendly and fairly prompt. Despite the prices, Ropewalk's got nice service and a great ambiance, so I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something new next time we visit.
