    We were strolling Cape Charles on a Sunday and this was one of the few businesses open. The Ice Cream specialist behind the counter was so friendly and let us sample the Nutter Butter flavor. It was divine! I recommend it on a cone.

    We've been to Cape Charles a few times in the years since I wrote my first review, and I'm thrilled to report Cowlick's remains a favorite for fantastic ice cream. On our recent trip we went nearly every day, and greatly enjoyed the sundaes! I personally loved the s'mores ice cream. Make sure to come here if you're in town!

    MOOve your way down the street to try Cowlick's! Highly recommend! I'll start off by saying our intention was to get ice cream at Brown Dog but the line was so long that we decided to try Cowlick's Creamery.we were able to walk right in and I was immediately excited to see that Black Raspberry Truffle was a featured flavor...I wasn't disappointed. The service was fast and friendly and the area was clean and spacious. We sat on the "cow"ch and enjoyed the creamy deliciousness. Glad we stopped in and found a new favorite in Cape Charles. Give them a chance.

    Never been to an ice cream shop that felt like an exclusive club. While visiting Cape Charles for…read morethe first time two weeks ago, I stopped by Brown Dog Ice Cream since I wanted a dessert following dinner and saw a lot of people walking down the street with their ice cream cones and they had solid reviews. The shop isn't brightly lit, it's on the dim side, and you need to walk to the back of the shop to start your order. I came towards the end of the day and it wasn't crowded--there was one other person in line--but despite this and the long walk to the end of the shop I wasn't greeted by any of the staff. When I got to the start of the order line I was the only one in it and I looked at the overhead menu for some plant-based ice cream (google stated that Brown Dog Ice Cream carries plant-based ice cream options), there was an employee standing there who saw me standing in line and search the menu but didn't greet me or ask if I was ready to order--then I made eye contact with her to make sure she saw me obviously standing there and she STILL said nothing to me. Fortunately, there was another employee who came over and acknowledged me and kindly asked how she could help me. I let her know I was looking on the menu for plant-based ice cream but hadn't seen it. She let me know that Brown Dog does serve plant-based ice cream options but only in the summer months. I thanked her for her help and walked out. Because of the cold-shoulder I received when walking in and from the first employee, I won't be coming back for the summer plant-based options. I hope management hosts a training with all of their staff on how to treat people that walk into their shop...you kindly greet people when they walk in and when they are next in line, you greet them and ask how you can help them. Hopefully this improves.

    Had a chance to get Brown Dog Ice Cream right before closing time. I had just watched the sunset at…read moreCape Charles Beach. I wanted yo try this place since it had rave reviews. The line was almost out the door for almost being end of the day. This mom and pop place was super cute and their story of their brown lab. You can even find a brown lab statue out front. All the ice cream sizes have cute dog names. For a second I thought I was about to order a dog ice cream. I did the 1 scoop cup and wow was it huge. The workers let me try the flavors I was debating between. I went with the banana pudding ice cream. It resembled banana pudding so well, but in ice cream. Great job! Until next time Brown Dog Ice Cream because I'll be back for another 1 scoop cup of that banana pudding ice cream in a future visit.

    Here's a polished version of your review: I spent the day in…read moreCape Charles with my family and wanted to find a place that offered some local fare. While walking along Mason Avenue, I made reservations at The Shanty, and it turned out to be a great choice. The restaurant is just a short stroll from the main shopping area, down by the docks. You can park for free along Mason Avenue or drive directly to The Shanty, which has its own parking lot. One of the highlights was enjoying fresh seafood on the open-air porch with beautiful waterfront views. The atmosphere was relaxed, charming, and perfectly summery. They also had plenty of options for the kids, including mac and cheese and chicken fingers, so everyone was happy. I ordered the fish tacos, while my mom enjoyed the seafood chowder and a wedge salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for after a day exploring Cape Charles. If you're visiting the area and looking for a casual waterfront meal with great seafood, a family-friendly menu, and a fun coastal vibe, The Shanty is definitely worth a visit.

    Great environment and good food! During a stop in Cape…read moreCharles, we visited The Shanty based on a recommendation from our shuttle bus driver from the campground and we were very pleased. The Shanty is not a large restaurant, but it has an amazing bar and great views from their deck on the bay. The service was great and our server created a "no rush" just sit back and relax vibe, even though they were busy. The drink menu has a nice selection of cocktails. My wife, an orange crush connoisseur, said the Shanty's crush was very good! They also have a nice beer selection including local area craft beers. The Frogman Lager on the menu has been one of my favorites when I visit VA, so it was nice to see on the menu. We started off with a 1/2 dozen local oyster, which were nice and sweet. The crab dip was amazing and full of crab! We split the shrimp Po-boy. The sandwich was loaded with plump tasty shrimp on an amazing roll. Typically, in beach towns the shrimp Po-boys are skimpy on the shrimp, but not at the Shanty. Overall, a great visit and a place we'd return.
