Roast beef was good but I made the mistake of asking for salt and pepper, and the guy put way too much salt, almost making it inedible. The chicken salad had green and jalapeno peppers, which was unexpected but my wife said it was good. The system for ordering seems to be a little haphazard, so save yourself time and go up to the cashier to order. The place was a little lacking for other product selections, but not insufficient, with a reasonable number of chip choices. There were a few signs about the lack of staff, requesting patience. I feel like a small tech investment would help a lot.

I see some very negative reviews, but we (Black and Asian with kids) had a wonderful experience at this store. No bad vibes whatsoever! We fell in love with an old artwork of Chincoteague displayed at a local restaurant, and we visited this store hoping to find a copy. Store owner went above and beyond to go through their collections to find exactly we were looking for. This made our day! During the checkout, we noticed a big bumble bee and Bernie Saunder's crochet displayed (not for sale) by the counter, and the store owners told us that the local lady made those crochets for them. We couldn't get over how cute and well-made they were, then the store owners even offered to contact her for us! This was our first time visiting this store, and we will be returning every time we travel to Chincoteague!

I have been going to Chincoteague Island for over 40 years and know there are some great places to…read moreget fresh seafood. Gary Howard seafood is an institution on the a island that is best know by word of mouth. They have seafood available for you to cook on your own or they will steam it for you. One thing to note is that they no longer offer fried seafood. This was a bit disappointing because they used to offer some of tastiest clam strips around. This time we had steamed crabs and they were amazing! The medium seasoning was perfect. Another overlooked fact is that blue crabs are meatier (heavier) in the fall, so September is a great time to enjoy them and at a more reasonable price.

By no means are the jewelry and other items cheap, but for the unique design, they are likely worth the money. They have various other items like home decor. They have a sign that requests no pictures be taken inside the store. The staff were polite and helpful enough, offering to show jewelry in the cases. This is a must-stop if you are looking for one of a kind jewelry and are willing to spend a little bit more money.

A small store at the end of a strip of shops right off the main drag of Maddox Boulevard…read more The name says it all: House of Jerky. You walk in and it's literally wall-to-wall of displays of jerky. Anything you could want - simple dried, marinated, sweet, spicy, whimsical flavor - they have it. Any meat you want - they have it. While it is mostly your standard beef or pork, they also have a section dedicated to "exotics" such as camel or python jerky. They even have some seafood jerky options. I have had meatless jerky (mushroom and/or seitan-based), but I didn't see any such options here. In addition to the jerky, there were a few other snack items like popcorn, nuts, and a small section of insect snacks. Such a singularly-focused store means customers move in and out quick, so there was only one staffer, and she greeted me when I walked in, then just went back to watching some TV show playing on the wall. They usually have two or three items available for sample, which she happily obliged when I requested. Prices are okay for a beach town. Many standard jerky options were around $14 for 4oz package, but some of the less conventional options were either smaller packages and/or higher in price. Watch out; this can add up quick! Overall, if you have a hankering for jerky, you can definitely find it here.

I wasn't anticipating stopping for jerky at a beach town, but here we are! I've been to a few…read morejerky shops in my travels and this place was pretty nice. Very small footprint, but it doesn't need to be huge. They have a lot of exotic meats, some of which I don't think I've ever seen in jerky form before (like python!). They are priced accordingly, though, with rarer options costing more than your typical beef. They do have some good deals though. The TV in the shop (why?) was tuned to Fox News. Look... I don't care where along the political spectrum you find yourself. Can't we turn this stuff off for vacation time? We went to Chincoteague to get AWAY from politics and news and all that jazz! Please just put on the Cooking channel or ESPN or DIY or something benign! You're a jerky shop... not the local political party headquarters. Anyway... We came away with some different kinds of jerky to try, mostly beef and turkey (I love turkey jerky!) and some interesting looking pork rinds (and cracklins!). I might try the deep fried peanuts next time. I've had them before... didn't expect them at a jerky joint... but I'm okay with that too! Overall, fun little shop. Won't take up much of your vacation time to stop on in and bring home something fun to snack on. Maybe you might even need it for the car ride back! Either way, it won't break your budget and it's a neat shop no matter how you look at it.

We tried their scallops and blue crabs, both were phenomenal, fresh and insanely delicious. We went in at 4 pm both times we visited and they still had blue craps, shrimp, flounder and scallops available. During the pandemic, they require masks and have a limit of 4 people in at a time which I really appreciated. Enforcing a mask wearing policy is very helpful! They also are cash only so keep that in mind.
