I went here on vacation and nothing about this place was good. First of all we had an hour and a half wait just to get in to the place. That could be a good sign, right? Well its not good when you wait that long and have a poor experience. When we finally entered, I couldn't believe how dingy... More

Next time you are in Ocean City, visit the JR's on 62nd street. The food is excellent and the service is by far superior to most restaurants in Ocean City.

Four of us went to J-Rs for dinner and two had good meals, and two had poor meals. I know it is the winter and it is a rib place, but this is an ocean place and there was no fresh fish so I ordered a Cesar salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was sooooo bland, I doubt they even... More

Some of the best ribs you will find on the Eastern Shore. They also have a decent crab cake and offers a comfortable welcoming environment.

Food isn't so great and there aren't many side options. We used to try it every summer until we got tired of giving them a chance. There are SO many other great places to eat in OC!

We ate at J-R's on a Sunday afternoon. They had NFL games on and gladly changed the station of the closest TV so we could watch a game we were interested in. The food was great, as was the service. My husband had the ribs and I had crab cakes; both were fantastic. Our only complaint was their selection of... More

We had the 1/2 rack. The ribs were tasty, no fat, moist but not wet. Service was good. We had the crab toast, not so good. The crab was fishy tasting. We eat crabs on a regular basis and this crab was lacking. I am very picky about my bake potatoe and theirs was a very pleasant suprise and was... More

We went for a later dinner and there weren't many diners, but service was still rather slow. I had barbequed pork chops which were pretty good, and a bowl of chili which was OK. My wife's salad was a disappointment and our friend's steak was also just OK. Too bad none of us tried the ribs. Nothing exceptional in the... More
