    Great service. Best crab cake I ever had. Scallops were great as well. We will be coming back.

    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.

    My husband and I had lunch at Ropewalk a couple of weeks ago because a friend had given us a gift…read morecard there. 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!

    We visited on a very busy day, so we fully expected a wait. Unfortunately, our pager appears to…read morehave been malfunctioning. The staff knew we were next, because we asked where we were in list and they said "next". Our pager never alerted us, they continued seating other parties ahead of us. They also never attempted to call the name our reservation was under, which could have easily resolved the issue. Once we were finally seated, the food took a while to arrive, which was understandable given how busy they were. Unfortunately, the meal itself was disappointing. The side dishes lacked flavor, and both the salmon and flounder were overcooked. The one highlight was the nice playground, which gave the kids something to do while we waited. Overall, the food and service did not meet our expectations and we likely would not return.
