Nick’s Original House of Ribs is recommended by tourists and locals alike as their favorite restaurant and sports bar in Ocean City. Famous for the best baby back ribs on the beach it’s no wonder why families make this a dining tradition when visiting the Maryland shore. A large selection of dinner entrées including the jumbo lump crab cakes, juicy Black Angus steaks, prime rib, burgers, and barbecued shrimp will tempt every appetite in the group. And, even the kids will love sharing appetizers such as Nick’s fabulous onion loaf, crab toast and potato skins before selecting their meal from the children’s menu. Top off any one of our great meals with a cool Banana Daiquiri or Strawberry Colada and you’re in paradise.

Locals actually told us not to go here. They said it's not any good but my husband insisted because of memories with his dad here 20+ years ago as a small kid. I'm so glad we came. The food was good! I loved ambiance, it was amazing. Crab dip was good, Ribs were good, flat bread was good, wine and beer good, service was excellent with louie. No idea what others have a problem with here. Lol! We will totally come back next time we are in the area. I think you should check it out too!

We were visiting from out of town and came here late night looking for takeout because I knew for sure they'd be closed. I was WRONG!! They seated my whole family. It wasn't crowded and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Our waiter was very attentive and accommodating. The food was sent out piping hot and it was delicious 😋 😋. The home fries were seasoned to utter perfection as were my shrimp. The crab and shrimp egg rolls are awesome!! Definitely get you some. The strawberry cheesecake was unlike any I've ever had before!! A+++. I would recommend it and everything you see in the photos. I'd venture to guess that everything else is just as tasty!!

An amazing place to enjoy a holiday meal. Restaurant is beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays. Delightful smells will tantalize your senses as soon as you enter! The food is amazing, you will not be disappointed. Portions are perfect sized, staff is attentive and on point. This will be added as a holiday tradition for my family.
