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 go to Nick's every time we are in OC. They have some of the best ribs in town! We did not get the crabcake sandwich, but is good too.

This was our first visit of the year and it was just as good as our last time at the end of last year. For a quiet Monday dinner you couldn’t ask for a better dining experience, our server Boris was attentive and on the ball, periodically checking on us during our stay. The food was delicious, the Onion Loaf just awesome, the ribs were fall off the bone tender. Couldn’t ask for more. Been customers of Nick’s for over 20 years and I believe I can say they’re back in their groove and back as my go to rib place.
