If you're spending a day on Virginia's Eastern Shore, Cape Charles Brewing Company is absolutely worth a stop. We popped in for a casual beer break, and it quickly turned into one of the highlights of the day. The space itself is gorgeous! It's open, airy and designed with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Cape Charles perfectly. You order both beer and food inside at the counter, which keeps things easy and low- key. I went with the Pilsner, and it was exactly what I wanted, perfect after a day out exploring. Their beer list has something for everyone, whether you're into lighter options or something with a bit more depth. We didn't order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. They've got plenty of options like burgers, nachos, and other brewery favorites that definitely seemed worth trying next time. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There was so much going on in the best way. They had a dog adoption event happening outside while we were there, which added such a fun, community-driven vibe. They also host live music and other events regularly, so it feels like there's always something to check out. The outdoor space is huge and perfect if you're with a group or bringing kids. There's a fire pit, games like cornhole, and plenty of room to spread out and hang for a while. Definitely the kind of place you plan to stop at for one drink and end up staying much longer. I will be adding this to my must visit list anytime I'm on the Eastern Shore. read more

Great seafood sandwiches, fresh and HUGE. I font like the way you have to order and pick up but otherwise the restaurant is very good

Local eats at Cape Charles brewery co. When first walking in you seat yourself and take a menu to open table. No waiters or waitresses. Food and beer is ordered at the bar. My bestie and I ordered the crab cake sandwich. The sandwiches come with fries, but I chose to sub the fries for onion rings. There is an up-charge for onion rings instead of french fries. I would have ordered an extra side of onion rings if I had prior knowledge of the up-charge. In addition, I ordered a Hefeweizen for a summer beverage. It was alright, I would have loved to sample a few beers. I am looking forward to trying a few other beers next visit. The vibe was hometown relaxation and family friendly. Outside dining looked great for a cooler afternoon or evening. read more

Absolutely the worst. I was embarrassed when I brought my family here for dinner. We ordered, and after waiting 20 minutes for our meals, found out that none of the fish entrees were available because all the fish was still frozen. So we ordered pretzels that were served -- you guessed it -- frozen. The crab cake sandwich one of our guests ordered was served burned. I finally ordered a burger, and when I went up to the station to retrieve the order -- because there is no table service -- saw that people who had ordered after us were being served fish. Really?! I will never go to this place again. read more

It was our last dinner of the trip to Cape Charles. Good bar food style meal. Beer battered fish and chips, burgers w/ onion rings, and nachos. All very good and fresh! Had the blood orange phunk which was crisp, tangy, and refreshing. It cut through the grease and richness of the food really well. The service was fast with the order at the counter/bar concept. Great atmosphere too! read more

What a great place to eat. Wonderful choice of Beer. Even a Root beer float. Food servings are large. Great concept for this area. You can even drive your golf cart from your place in town. read more

Cape Charles Brewing Company - Fish and chips. Rock fish they even have malt vinegar! - Breweries Near Me - Cape Charles, Virginia

What a nightmare. The service is horrendous. Honestly, I've never seen a more counterintuitive system. You walk in and there are signs. Grab a menu, seat yourself, order at the bar. Easy enough, right? Wrong! Go up to the bar and wait 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge your existence. There were 4 employees sitting at the bar and one poor girl doing everything. She finally gets to us and doesn't ask if we've been there before. Kind of important when you have such a crazy system. She tells us that they will text us when the food is ready. Doesn't tell us how to pick it up, where to pick it up. So the text comes in and we go to the window, evidently you're supposed to go to a tiny little heating table instead. Didn't really matter because they gave our food to someone else! The food itself was subpar. This is clearly a brew house that happens to serve food. The fish tacos were served on tiny street taco tortillas with one small chunk of fish per tortilla. They also failed to remove all the bones from the stone fish. The burger was cold, dry, small, thin, and tasteless. The fries were cold. Definitely not worth the $40. read more

Came here for an overnight trip with my best friend. After checking out places to grab something to eat, this place looked like a nice option to have a relaxing informal dinner with a drink. They have a pretty straightforward ordering system. After looking over the menu, you pay for your food at the register, and you're given a buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready to pick up at the counter. I got a pineapple sour, which was pretty good, and a crabcake sandwich with beer battered fries. Also delicious, my crab cake was a little overdone, but I still enjoyed it. I'd def come back here to grab a drink and some food again. read more

Came down to Cape Charles for the day from Va Beach. We love all the beer. Our favorite is the Assateague Island IPA. They sell it in our Package store at Oceana as well. The clam chowder was yummy and would get it again. The employees are very nice and helpful. Def worth a visit. read more

This is a family friendly brewery. They had ample seating indoor and outdoor. A nice play area for kids with a sand pit. I decided on the Cobb salad which was tasty ( a little expensive at 18$) adding chicken was 9$ more so I decided to skip on that. We decided to sit outdoors at picnic tables in a Nice shaded area. Our group enjoyed the beer flights read more

Amazing food. Amazing service. Loved the wooden vibe of the place. 10/10. Would eat here again. read more

Had a fantastic experience. Food was amazing. Drinks are fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better interaction than the one we had with Sean. Also, everyone was so polite and welcoming to our dogs!!! read more

We stopped here on our way home from Chincoteague. It was a beautiful November Sunday. We were greeted immediately by the nicest lady!!!! I did not drink beer because I don't like beer and I was driving. But they did have 2 wines. They have menus upon entering and you go to the bar and order. I did order some food and so did both my friends. We got 2 clam chowders and my friend got the Rockfish Tacos but on chips because she has an allergy. They were very accommodating with her allergy. You get a little buzzy thing and you get your food when it's ready. Her tacos on chips looked absolutely delicious!! Our soup was very good too. They had other items such as burgers, salads, desserts and a childrens menu. We sat outside and listened to music. They happen to have live music that day. The staff was very friendly!!! read more

This was my first time to Cape Charles and just my luck to get a visit in to their own brewery. So I stopped in to try their brews and for some lunch. It was mid week and not too busy. Everyone was in good spirits and the staff were friendly and helpful with the beer selections. I decided to go with the flight and my bf went with the coffee stout. The lunch and the beers were delicious. They have lots of gear to go along with the to go beers so Christmas shopping was a definite. I say give them a try! read more

Super cute place to enjoy a beer and some food. Indoor and outdoor seating. Live music on the weekends and tips go to local charities during some events. Several beer choices to choose from as well as several food options. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. Outdoors they have kids games and it looks like they have a giant bonfire at times. I would recommend!! Enjoy! read more

We arrived in CC last week and spent a few days at the marina. Despite the summer heat, we decided to trek over to CC Brewing Company. It was absolutely worth it! As soon as we stepped inside we were greeted by a cool and inviting dining hall along with a fantastic selection of beers. Each brew we tried had its own unique flavor, perfectly crafted to refresh and satisfy after a warm day exploring the area. What truly made the visit five-star was the customer service. Chelsie and Mary were warm, attentive, and genuinely fun, adding a personal touch that elevated the whole afternoon. Being just outside town, the brewery feels like a refreshing mini-escape from the usual Cape Charles dining circuit laid-back, flavorful, and relaxing. We'd definitely recommend making the short trip; it's a great way to cool off, sip something delicious, and enjoy good company. Cheers! read more

Been going to Cape Charles Brewing Company for years now. It's very cute with good beer flights. My favorite beer is bumpkin pumpkin and they put brown sugar on the rim. The food is also tasty. The nachos are good and the pretzels with the cheese is delicious. They have an outdoor area that they expanded with picnic tables and games like connect four and chess. You order first and they will call you once your food is ready. It's a great ambience and you can bring your dog in the outside area. read more

I love this place and so glad we stopped. We were on way home from Norfolk to NJ and this was a quick stop off of our route. Delicious beer - I got the Assateague IPA and hubs got a double IPA. I got a burger and he got the fish tacos - loved both and you could feed a small village with the fries we got. Mary and Shawn were two of the nicest people you could meet - service was amazing. Can't wait to return. We did end up buying some beer to take home with us. read more

We stopped in here after our original lunch plan fell through. We didn't expect much as neither of us are beer drinkers. We were pleasantly surprised by several things. We were greeted by an enthusiastic hostess, that we were pretty sure is also an owner, who gave us a brief rundown and recommended the rockfish sandwich ( this was an excellent suggestion). The bartender is also the server and was very nice and very attentive. I got the rockfish sandwich and the wife got the fish and chips which is also rockfish. Both were delicious but a warning to those who are not familiar- rockfish has a distinct flavor. It's not bad but it isn't the neutral flavor of the standard haddock that is often used in these dishes. Good news too for those that are not beer drinkers- they have a local wine by the bottle or glass and they have a cider on tap. The place is pretty open with a lot of seating options from two tops to the bar to larger tables. If you happen to be in the area swing by and try the fish sandwich. It's worth the time. read more

We had a very enjoyable stop here! The woman at the counter was very nice as we sampled a few beers before making our selection. We also ordered the nachos. We seated ourselves outside and they send a text notification when your food is ready. It didn't take long before the nachos were ready. Wow! They were huge and so good! Three of us shared them and we still had some leftover. The outside seating area has options for sitting in the shade or the sun which is nice. They had a fan blowing outside which kept the air circulating as well. read more

Stopped by to try a few beers and get a little snack. We do plan to go back today for a full pint of our two faves. Nice, large facility with great service. Outdoor seating near the rail trail was a plus! read more

First time we tried to go here on a Monday in July they were out of almost all the food in their menu. We kept going down the menu trying to order and the guy at the register kept apologizing that they were out. Should have just told us when we walked in! Beer and setting are great, but the food is 2 stars at best. It's clearly not made in house, and is cooked from frozen. Crab cake was like a tiny Philips crab cake you buy at the grocery store, totally overcooked to the point of being almost black, on a stale chewy role with a sad piece of lettuce and tiny slice of underripe tomato. Shrimp was fine. Soft pretzel was pale, doughy, and tasted under baked. Didn't get to try the allegedly award-winning clam chowder because they were out. Food here is legitimately mediocre. Come for the beer, get dinner elsewhere. read more

The beer choices are amazing and the food is just as delicious. The staff is AWESOME!!!!!!!! Great atmosphere for everyone. Highly recommended My Monday and Tuesday spot read more

We really enjoyed this place. They had some games setup outside for the kids to play. I got the BBQ it was delicious, and the kiddos loved the chicken strips. Im not a beer drinker, but my husband enjoyed the bear. The interior was well decorated...and HUGE. The kids ordered the chicken tenders, and I got wings. The service was great. Everyone was nice and attentive. The food came hot and fast. We really enjoyed it and will probably come back every time we are in town! read more

We had the crab cake sandwich and fish and chips. Food was good. Bun could be a little smaller on crab cake. All the beer we sampled was tasty. Also outdoor space is nice! read more

I went in for something sweet and left with a bag full of deliciousness! Everything was great!

We stopped for lunch on our way to the beach and grabbed some sandwiches and a beer flight. It was a very simple ordering process and our food came out fast. We enjoyed our entrees but the FRIES were so good!!! We enjoyed our flight but I was bummed they were out of the hibiscus infused beer. Definitely worth a stop on your trip, they have something for everybody & even outdoor seating and games! read more

Food was on the 3 star side but did have some standouts- the salad with bacon, cheese and egg was huge and plenty for my husband and I to each have a healthy portion there and then take some home as well. The rockfish sandy was huge and very good. I upgraded to the onion rings and they were delicious! Now the clam chowder is award winning but it hardly had any clams in it and the flavor was a little weak. The drunken shrimp was not that great either. Had to go ask for more garlic and some old bay to give it more flavor Beers were on a 5 star level and my husband enjoyed his two tasting flights and it gave him a good sense of the beers they make. Service was great and friendly. Atmosphere on a Friday night was fun with a live band and lots of people hanging out in the yard and included people of all ages. read more

This was a place I wanted to try, and try before they got too crowded which can happen because they are that popular and good. We went shortly after they opened. We shopped a little at their merchandise section. We picked up some cups, stickers and T-shirts. They we nicely priced and good quality. We ordered food first than sat down. Our food came out fairly quick and it was warm! My chicken with bacon sandwich was delicious! The bun was perfect! My friend raves about her fish and chips! They were crisp and moist. The crab bites were delicious and they had great flavor! In all we were happy with the food. We did not get any beer this time. But, I overheard other raving about their beverage. Our waitress was a hustler! She worked fast and was organized. read more

The food here surprised me with how good it was. We came intending to get flights and snacks, and stayed nearly two hours trying beers and having a meal. The fries are so well seasoned (love that Old Bay!) and the onion rings are seriously some of the best I've had in awhile. The portions are more than enough to share, and we were a group of seven adults. The meals were great too, and their order system allows you to sit at the table and receive a text when its ready so you don't miss any time at the table. The Smith Island Cake though - amazing. I hadn't had one in so long and they brought back the classic flavor I remembered. The beer was excellent as well. We got flights to try the maximum number of beers and ended up really enjoying them all. The Helles was a favorite! Make sure you grab your full glass with the souvenir one to take home. The atmosphere here was awesome as well, we just missed the live music but loved the games outside and the fun feel. Totally stop here on your trip to Cape Charles or drive in for a great meal! read more

We came over to have a lunch. They followed COVID 19 procedures nicely. There is a counter to order the food. I ordered pink guava smoothie sour and clam chowder and Crab cake fitter. My husband had fish tacos and several different beers. Our kids ordered cheese burger and fried chicken. I loved Pink guava smoothie sour. It was very refreshing and smooth. The clam chowder was die for. Must order item. I also enjoyed crab cake fitter. It got nice old bay seasoning. Their fries were so nicely fried and seasoned. We sat inside but they have outside seating. I highly recommend this place for everyone. read more

We discovered this gem while visiting the nearby RV park, and it quickly became our go-to. My wife and I always look for nearby breweries when we vacation, so we were excited to find this one in Cape Charles. I think we went back every night that week. The place isn't huge, and it can get busy, but during the summer, there is lots of outdoor seating. I tried all of the beers, and like them all, but the IPAs seem to be their specialty, and they were quite good. We had several different items off the menu, and really liked the food. The staff were super friendly, and very willing to offer advice to tourists (they told us where to find good fishing, the best sunset, etc...). This place is one of the reasons we have decided to return to Cape Charles every summer from now on. read more

My brother was visiting from out of town and being an avid craft beer drinker, I knew I wanted to take him to Cape Charles Brewing. This was a first visit for me here as well. The brewery itself is easy to find, right as you drive into Cape Charles. The decor was cute, I especially loved the giant crab on the wall behind the bar. The beers were fantastic. We also got two different flavors of wings and they were good sized and sauced well. The staff was friendly and made great suggestions on beers to try. I look forward to visiting this brewery again the next time I'm on the other side of the tunnel! read more

Very awesome visit! We checked in and was addressed right away. You place your purchase in line and they give you a pager. Once it goes off it let's you know your food is available for pickup. Which is a table nearby. We purchased the Mai Mai fish taco which was very good! We decided to do flights. I love flights because I can taste a variety of beer and not feel overloaded. Great variety! They have indoor and outdoor seating. We picked a table and brought our drinks and food outdoors. Enjoyed the food drinks and weather. Would definitely recommend and return. read more

I have not been in a while and was a little surprised that there was no table service. Not knowing the process of picking up my order and carrying it to our table left me on a steep learning curve. That said the food was very good. I had the rockfish and chips and my friend ate a burger. We shared a flight of beers. All very good. read more

I pretty cool place to hang out, even in the times of COVID. Pretty extensive beer selection, even if they all weren't for me. Impressive food with some decent portions. I was excited to try the Blood Orange and was not disappointed. We also got a beer flight to try a few others, however, none of them truly stood out for me. Food wise we had the fish tacos and a cobb salad. While you may think a salad is simple, I was really impressed by both how it was put together and how it tasted. The fish tacos were solid as well. I imagine in non-covid times, the space they have available is heavily used. There is plenty of space to spread out and relax. The view isn't bad and the staff is friendly. I will be back if I make a return visit to the area! read more

This is definitely a great place to kick it on a rainy day. Or a sunny day for that matter. The outdoor area has a patio then also lots of picnic tables and an extra tented area with tables. In the front there is a covered patio. Inside there are about 5-6 tables very well spaced out. During this COVID visit, there is no table surface. You order both food and beer at the bar, and you pick up your food from a table once your buzzer rings. The food menu looks and sounds solid-seafood centric which I'd expect from a coastal town. I can only attest to the pretzel with beer cheese. It was a long braided pretzel-very chewy-and the beer cheese was really flavorful. The word to sum up the beer best is "variety". They had on tap everything from a sour session IPA to a pumpkin beer. A flight is 4 samples for $10. I tried the Assateague island NE IPA, the Cobb island west coast IPA, the Tangier island DIPA, and the Bayside Beach, a Belgian style beer.The tangier island was my favorite-very fruit forward. The Assateague was slightly more bitter but still tasty with grassy notes. The west coast ipa was very piney; I wasn't a fan. I can't really remember the Bayside Beach, so I couldn't have been very impressed. There were several more I did not get a chance to try, which is only a guarantee I'll be back. read more
