    Don't hesitate if you are a true lover of all things diners, past and present. We were searching for a place to stop on our coastal route we take to PA and back to VA. My husband stumbled on the Exmore Diner. We can not pass up a diner. When entering there is maybe 18 stools at a bar top, and maybe 6 booths. Small, but quaint. They offer take out, and eat in. This is very much a local place where many are regulars. I absolutely love that! It is a little on the dirty side. But, I can look past things like that in certain things. It's an old diner, mostly original. The menu is not too large. Which is perfect. It is not overwhelming. They have birch beer! Our waitress was fantastic. We had 1-2 come up and assist us. Team work makes the dream work. The food. I was told the specials for the day were popular. I ordered the hot roast beef sandwich with Lima beans, Mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. My husband classic cheeseburger with crinkle fries and a club sandwich. My children, game and cheese sandwich, and a BLT. Everything was amazing! Just what we were hoping for. My hot roast beef sandwich was fabulous! The gravy was delicious. Take not they add sugar to the macaroni and cheese, so it is in the sweeter side. It was pretty good, just different. I finished my meal with a chocolate milk shake and a Key Lime Smith Island Cake. What... it's not Jan 1, diet hasn't started. Ha! Joking. Both the cake and milkshake were just the sweetness needed. The Smith Island cake is made by a local gal named Becca. She is amazing! Overall, we are coming back especially when we're driving through.

    The Exmore Diner is a local favorite. Friendly staff and friendly prices. Daily specials are the key to their success. Great fresh seafood. Great for Breakfast, and dinner. Crab cakes are one of my favorites. Love the old time classic dinner vibe.

    Cruising on Route 13 and looking for breakfast, this is your stop. A true diner. Small and friendly with a menu from local seafood to breakfast favorites. Service was nice and fast. Food was good, nothing fancy but just what we needed to fuel our morning. We had the creamed beef special and a crab cake sandwiches. Hash browns are homemade and come with or without onion. Chipped beef was house made and lots of beef. The crab cake was all crab and just a nice fresh roll. Would stop again. $

    On the way back to NY we stopped by this little diner. I love places like this and do try to seek them out, but this was by pure chance. We had breakfast and it was delicious. Very family owned and ran type feel which I love. Hope to visit it again if it is in the way.

    An authentic old fashioned diner

    We found this little gem driving home from Florida and will return annually. The salad with grilled chicken was delicious! Good service in a friendly "down home" atmosphere.

    On the way home from Savannah, stopped to eat at the Esmore Diner. Retro style with retro food that was delicious! Steamed shrimp done perfect with butter and old bay to dip them. I went old school...Liver and onions with mashed potatoes and turnip greens. We finished it off with a piece of creamsicle Smith Island cake!

    Tucked away off the main drive, rt13, this diner is just the same as it was back in the day. Great local food and fresh vegetables. The employees are friendly. There are only about 10 tables and a counter area wheee you can sit and dine. I had the steamed shrimp, served piping hot. Be sure you have plenty of napkins. I also ordered the green beans and coleslaw. No complaints here. I can see why it is a local favorite. I could barely eat all the shrimp.

    that's my sweet mama. She had the shrimp and I had the chicken salad and we got a clam chowder to go. All of it wonderful wonderful.

    The food is amazing. The vibe is awesome, and the service is crazy fast. It is the best of everything on the eastern shore.

    Simply the best in fresh local food at reasonable prices. Most entrees served platter style with your choice of sides. I had fried oysters, shrimp, collard greens, and green beans. Everything perfectly prepared and full of natural flavor.

    Good food at good prices, and the best milkshakes anywhere. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    Just had excellent breakfast here. Price is unbeatable and local friendly service you should expect everywhere, but never find.

Then, we took the scenic way back on the eastern shore of VA and stayed at Cape Charles Motel just outside Cape Charles, VA on US 13. The next morning we checked out of the motel. I was annoyed the night before as I had thought there was some sort of breakfast included when I was asking about the times of the breakfast, and he said they didn't have there. So, we ventured into town for Cape Charles Coffee House. It's a cute, historic place with an upstairs area with additional seating. The brunch & coffee was solid & nice staff, but I do remember it took awhile to get the food. Perhaps, they were on Cape Charles time as opposed to DC-Baltimore area time I'm used to...haha. I had a grilled cheese & cup of soup. It was delicious. Cape Charles Coffee House & the town itself was nice; I'd come back to the coffee house if I was back.

This will be a regular stop when I travel US-13 accross the Cheasepeak Bay Bridge-Tunnel again. Dennis is an unreadable greeter and waiter. He definitely made me experience a great one. I had the Country Fried Steak Dinner special with Cream of Crab soup, Mashed potatoes and gravy and Delicious Cole slaw. Dennis brought me corn bread hot and right from oven -- delicious. I had unsweetened Iced tea with lemon to drink. It was an exceptional meal. The building resembles a non-railway car dinner. Lots of tables and booths in two dining rooms. I sat at the counter.,

It was lunchtime, and we passed the Sage Diner, which was packed, so we turned around and decided to stop in. This is not a fancy place, and it seemed like about 99% of the customers were locals. The hostess greeted us and seated us in a booth. Shortly after, a gentleman came over to take our drink order. We both ordered tea. I tried mine and didn't care for it -- it tasted like fountain tea -- so I switched to a soda. For lunch, my wife ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, which came with a cup of soup. She chose the bean soup. I ordered the prime rib sandwich, which also came with fries and a cup of soup; I chose the cream of crab. When the food arrived, it looked pretty good at first. My wife liked her soup, but the meatloaf was extremely dry and had a strange seasoning to it. The mashed potatoes were real, with large chunks of potato in them. My prime rib sandwich special was overcooked and came with cheese. I was expecting thinly sliced, shaved prime rib, but instead the meat was cut very thick -- about a quarter inch -- and was tough. The cream of crab soup was disappointing. The first thing you notice is a heavy spoonful of Old Bay on top. When I dug in, there was barely any crab -- just a few chopped particles, which didn't feel acceptable for cream of crab. I ended up eating the prime rib plain with some BBQ sauce just to get through it. Overall, we don't think we'll be returning. There were a few other places we passed farther down the road that likely would have been a better choice.
