JR's The Original Ocean City MD Place for Ribs

Little History

We are proud to be celebrating 31 years in Ocean City, Maryland. In the summer of 1980, Jack and his partner decided to open a specialty restaurant, featuring barbequed ribs in Ocean City, Maryland. Ribs were a brand new food item, so before they could present them to the public, the partners traveled to Texas, to Florida, and to Virginia to put together J/R's now famous barbeque sauce.  Then they searched the meat markets to find exactly the right cuts of meat that were exactly what they wanted to serve their customers. 

When they had the perfect combination, they opened the first JR's The Original Place For Ribs at 62nd street in Ocean City MD. Years later, by popular demand, the second J/R's Ribs Restaurant opened at 131st street in Ocean City MD. Since opening in 1980, our customers have increasingly applauded J/R's for our quality, our cleanliness and our service. We want to thank you, our customers, who have helped us achieve our fine reputation and success.
