    Bland Greek pasta salad
    Pam W.

    What a disappointment. I stopped in to buy some food for our lunch and they had only a few sandwiches and a large tub of pimento cheese left. I had gone the day before and bought a Caesar salad and a small Greek pasta salad because that was all they had. Neither were remarkable. When I said I'd come back to get sandwiches and a Greek salad the person working said we won't be making Greek salads. Essentially you're out of luck or come earlier. I'm not sure I'd depend on this as a lunch option when I come in the future. Luckily more options are popping up around town.

    Frosted chocolate brownie

    Delicious sandwiches, chicken salad, pimento cheese and other items! The frosted chocolate brownie is one of the best brownies I've had in my 34 years of life!!!! Took multiple home to freeze and have when back home. People there are super friendly as well. Ask for extra zesty sauce if you get a sandwich. 10/10 delicious!

    Cute Lil shop! Lots of unique trinkets/gifts for birthdays and holidays! From cocktail lovers to aspiring writers to dog lovers to everything/everyone you can think of! I had to make laps around the store in fear I was going to miss something! Only downfall was the fact the restaurant was closed..... I guess it gives me a reason to come back! I really wanted to try their sandwich. They only have street parking available. Not sure about public bathrooms.

    Tazewell Sandwich
    Laurel D.

    My friend and I took a day trip to Cape Charles. After walking the trails in Kiptopeke Park, we wanted to get something easy for lunch. She had looked up this place and suggested some grab and go sandwiches and I was all for it. The sandwiches are $9 and I had the HARDEST time choosing just one. They all looked and sounded so delicious. I went with the Tazewell, which they stated was their best seller. The staff was so friendly, talking me through the sandwiches and daily prep. The croissant bread is baked fresh every morning. I was eyeballing the Cronuts but didn't get them. I did hear a lady walk buy on the sidewalk eating one and she exclaimed, "OMG best thing I've ever had!" This was the most satisfying sandwich and it hit the spot! I will definitely be back to try a different one next time I'm there!

    This is a cute little shop that doubles as a sandwich shop in the back. While I didn't eat here, I did drop by to browse their shopping selection when I was in town. If you are in the area and need to assemble a full gift, this is the place to do it. Located in Downtown Cape Charles on their main street, Cravings has a surprisingly large selection of inventory. You could seriously purchase your card, wrapping paper and gift here! I was absolutely obsessed with their collection of kitschy feminist ornaments (?) that I pictured below. Such clever gifts. For being here on an "off" time for Cape Charles, I was surprised how crowded it was. The store is colorful, impeccably organized and has no shortage of goodies to explore. It's clearly a local favorite! Plan your visit accordingly and you will almost certainly walk out with some excellent treasures.

    Table & Tonic and, all the way in the back, Cravings, what some people are craving is seems.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Elephant & Octopus during a day trip to Cape Charles,…read moreand what a cute find! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was inviting! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a whimsical, nautical meets industrial interior. Think exposed brick, quirky elephant and octopus artwork, and cozy seating that feels both inviting and upscale. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your meal and soak in the unique ambiance. As for the food, it did not disappoint. I started with the Ale & Onion Soup, and wow. This was comfort in a bowl! The robust flavor of Guinness melded perfectly with the caramelized onions, and the bubbling gruyère on the toasted bread points just took it over the top. It was savory, rich, and perfect for the chilly day. My friend went for the She Crab Soup, and couldn't stop raving about it. Creamy and absolutely packed with local crab meat. The puffed oyster crackers and a sprinkle of Old Bay were the ultimate finishing touch. I managed to sneak a bite, and it was heavenly! We also asked the bartender for a fun cocktail, and they whipped up a bright, lemony drink that was as refreshing as it was beautiful. It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, served with a citrus twist. Service was great. Friendly, attentive without hovering, and happy to make recommendations. If you're in Cape Charles and looking for a spot that nails both food and atmosphere, you can't go wrong here. Already planning my next visit!

It's a quaint little shop where you can buy fresh seafood, groceries, as well as different pastries and other dishes at the deli counter. I was originally in the mood for an Italian sandwich, but after speaking with the employee working the counter, I got a Shrimo Po' Boy because he said "The way we make em here, you won't find anywhere else." After one bite, I realized exactly what he meant; the shrimp were so fresh that I just knew they were caught straight out of the Cheseapeake Bay that same morning. I was also a fan of the thinly sliced French fries. I got a lemon square to eat after my sandwich, and it was also so good that I grabbed a slice of rainbow cake to go. The rainbow cake was good, but a tad dry, so definitely go for the lemon square if you're looking for a dessert here. All in all, the beach market is a great stop for anybody looking for a quick bite to eat or to support a local grocer in Cape Charles.

They may appear to be fat steak fries at first glance, but they're better. Just a wide as steak fries but sliced ribbon-thin and very well seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and maybe a little parmesan. And if you enjoy a thick fat Italian sub, this is it. The bread was a crusty ciabatta roll. What made the difference for me on this Italian sub was that it was nicely toasted... holy smokes! The Beach Market is, indeed, a market, too. If you have a refined tastes in wine and other food delicacies do not miss out!

I have never had coffee flavor before, and that is unique. They also had chocolate chip, cranberry orange, lemon, and original. Those are the flavors I remember. I purchased a peanut butter cookie and that was so good! It had a nice soft center with a slight crispy outer edge. The peanut butter flavor was strong but not over powering. I will definitely be purchasing more flavors in the future. Pair it with a delicious coffee or tea and your set. They offer other baked items and offer a few sandwiches. I have never eaten them, but I have seen them. They look appetizing, and they are jam packed with ingredients. Their hours will fluctuate during different seasons, so be sure to check into their hours before visiting.

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.

When we came last year, it seemed like they were having an off night. We came today, however, and this will be our last visit. Our bill was over 100 (2 adults and 1 child, water to drink), and had the most disappointing food ever. Everything was incredibly bland, to the point of almost inedible. We began with a half-dozen order of oysters, which had very little meat. Even more frustrating was how they were served - they were full of shells mixed into the meat and dry (all the water had been dumped out), which meant that the people shucking did not know how to properly shuck an oyster. The crunch of the shells also made for an unpleasant eating experience. The lobster rolls had absolutely no flavor. I have never not finished a lobster roll in my life, but about halfway through I just gave up. We wanted to order crab cakes, but they were out (note that they've been out on our last several visits - this time we were there right when they opened, so they could not have run out). The children's chicken tenders appeared to have come straight out of the freezer. The Caesar salad was tasteless. I ordered the local vegetables and was given the option of Brussel sprouts or broccolini (these have been the options every time I've visited no matter the season). I was disappointed, since there is great produce on the Eastern Shore in the middle of July, none of which includes the fall/spring produce of Brussel Sprouts or Broccolini. The Broccolini wasn't cooked, but appeared to have been warmed while doused in olive oil (but no salt or other seasonings). The middle was still cold. We saw our server only a few times when she took our order and dropped off our food. Someone else dropped off the oysters, and dropped the oyster fork on the floor. She picked it up, apologized, and promised to return but we never saw her again so had to eat the oysters with the forks we had used for the caesar salad (not the best combination). The oysters weren't great to begin with, so it probably didn't make much difference. I'm disappointed in the Shanty, and disappointed at how much we spent on such a mediocre meal. I won't return.

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.
