Ropewalk

We happened to be in town for Valentine's Day, and decided to check out the place as it was next door to our hotel.We were greeted by very friendly service at the hostess station and lead to our table by the windows. Restaurant had a very bustling atmosphere, very good vibe. Excellent decor, with art / decor reflecting on the seafood, area, etc. Spotless.Appetizer - smoked (then fried) chicken wings with old bay seasoning - these were amazing, well seasoned, good flavor, tender / fall apart. Dinner - My wife had the jerk chicken (well seasoned, juicy), I had the crab cake (delicious, well seasoned). Both dishes were accompanied by fresh green beans (excellent sautéed) and island rice (pretty good). Dessert was lava cake, which was just ok.Cocktails - excellent. Will try a slush next time. Water served in mini beer pitchers was pretty fun.Our waitress - excellent. Attentive, efficient and friendly.All in all - we enjoyed our experience. if you're looking for a bar grill type place with a variety of things (including non-seafood items) and great cocktails, this is a place to try. If you've looking for a more traditional seafood place, there are other choices in town.

5/5 on everything. The steam pot was delicious- fresh crab, abundant shrimp, delicious little potatoes. I chased that up with a plate of their signature 'victory' wings. Victory is right- I conquered my hunger :PI was served by the ever so sweet Angela! But all the staff were nice. I would definitely return and hope to soon. I need to get after that buck a shuck happy hour deal! :)

The decor was all very clean and welcoming, with friendly staff. We were seated promptly at a dockside booth large enough to fit our large party, including my kids and my nieces. The table was in clear view of the awesome playground area, which was super nice to be able to relax while the kids played. The adults' food was all very tasty, though a bit on the pricey side. The kids meals were served on frisbees, which was a neat feature, but the quality of the kids meals was pretty low when for the price, especially when you consider that kids drinks are not included in the price, which is pretty much unheard of for kids meals. The server was very sweet to the kids and very kind and helpful. Overall, I'd say that Ropewalk is a fantastic place for adults to eat. The kids... maybe order some adult meals to share?

The ambiance at ropewalk is 10/10! Great spot for a big group. Our family of 9 came here for dinner and we were seated at a big table outside overlooking the bay as the sun went down. Very tropical fun setting, and our server was great! I love that everyone gets their own full pitcher of water with a straw , definitely limits the number of refills needed. The setting feels like it would be standard fried beach bar food, but the quality is definitely a step up from that! They have a variety of options to please a crowd. The shrimp appetizer was probably my favorite thing. So crispy and slightly sweet. And the spinach artichoke crab dip was top tier! Very thick with big chunks of crab which I loved. I got the scallops dish, and although it was good, I definitely had some notes. It needed more of the corn and tomatoes; there were really only a few. And the crab pieces were too small so they blended in too much with the orzo. The dish was flavorful just nothing impressive, although it has a lot of potential. Several people ordered the flounder, which looked a lot better. The tuna tacos looked good too, the seafood salad was definitely a skip though.They have a pretty solid drink menu of crushes which fit the setting, although their cocktails are wayyyy too sweet. I'd probably give the food a 2-3, but the ambiance is so nice which makes it worth going! Probably a better spot for drinks and apps than a full dinner.

Tried this place for dinner with the family. I would says it's around 3.5 stars. It's a very average seafood restaurant. Everything was reasonably good, but nothing I would go back for. Had some of the soups, flounder, crab dip and egg rolls. It was a fairly busy and loud restaurant, but our service was fairly prompt and we got our food pretty quick. Overall, if you're looking for a really good meal, especially seafood, I don't think this place is it. If you're looking for a quick place that has something for the kids it's not bad.

"As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunsetI am in paradise"(The Kinks)Ropewalk was a great place to see the famous Chincoteague sunsets.Ropewalk is also a great place to see if you're a fan of former President Ronald Reagan, because a large statue of the Gipper greets you into the dining room, a bust of Ronnie smiles at you from behind the bar, and you can buy T-shirts of the man on the way out.Ropewalk was a great place to visit on a Monday, because its one of the few places open that day.So those are the high points. Here are the improvement opportunities:There was no one at the hostess station, so another waiting patron journeyed into the dining room to tell the staff there were people waiting to be seated.It took quite a long while for a server to take our order and a long time for the food to come out.We found Ropewalk very loud, with a few bar patrons really yukking it up.The Food:We ordered a Seafood Cobb Salad ($22) for "Field greens topped with lump crab, shrimp, bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, tomatoes and fresh corn served with your choice of dressing". It had a few shreds of crab and zero shrimp.House Salad with Added Chicken ($11 +$8). The chicken was fantastic. Tender, juicy and perfect.Iced Tea ($3.99) served in the biggest glass I've ever seen. It actually was a beer pitcher.Oreo Cheesecake ($7) -Yummy but one of the smallest slices I've ever seen.Conclusion -OK for Monday, pass on the other six days.

Waited 45 mins on Friday around 6:30. They didn't answer the phone for reservation. Drinks: large ice water, prolly 20 oz (free). Draft beer for $7 prolly 10 oz (plastic cup). Both apps were mediocre and small portion for $16 each. 6 of us ordered 4 lobster, fish & chips, and poke bowl. It took forever even though they were slowing down...Poke bowl had cheapest ingredients and tuna was not fresh.Lobster was overcooked and chewy and had weird texture, specially the claw area. Empty ketchup bottles all around the restaurant and waiter said they ran out. We came here every year past 5 years maybe management changed???!!! Quality is shit now! We went to Steamers instead. At least their food was better. For good view on a water, I give 2 stars.

We sat outside and it felt like we were on an island! The sand, the live music, the outdoor bar.... the whole vibe was a hit. We got several apps and they were great. The bartender did a great job with our drinks and we loved the jars that the water came in.

This is right next door to Fairfield Inn and Suites, on the bay side of Chincoteague. Great location, fun atmosphere, and food choices for the whole crowd. The food was ok, but the portions were unusual. The kids' chicken tenders only had 2 tenders but the kids "fishbowl" drink was literally a whole small fishbowl. I had fish/rice/veggies, and it was mostly good but over-seasoned. The kids had tenders, and we had to order an appetizer portion also after our meal was done because they were still hungry. They were out of French fries, so only had chips as a side so that was disappointing. They have souvenir frisbees as plates for the kids meals, and souvenir adult drink cups THAT COLOR CHANGE! The service was good, and they have a fun outdoor area with lawn games and a play area for kids. It was raining when we visited or we would have enjoyed it!

My wife and I came here for drinks (first stop in a night of bar hopping). Very lovely place!It's right on the water and has a great view of sunset, and for that reason, everyone wants to be here. There was at least an hour wait for a table, so like most people, we chanced the bar. At least half of the tables are outside on the sand with a big bar in the middle.There are tall backed bar stools that can be a little tricky to slide in an out and a little challenging to slide around since they want to squeeze as many people at the bar as possible.The drink selection is what you'd expect: a lot of crushes, mules, and tiki/tropical themed drinks. My wife got a mule and I got a crush - they were pretty standard. The bartenders were quick to make sure we got served and to offer us a new drink once we started getting low - nice touch.Maybe next time we'll stay for some food - lots of the seafood offerings look great!
