We passed this establishment during our initial reconnoiter of the island. Lots of cars out front…read morefor a place outside the town. Seemed popular with the locals. Decided to go there for breakfast on our last day. Arrived at 9 AM on Sunday, and the parking lot was already full. We got lucky and were able to be seated (two of us) right away. I will say the staff does a great job clearing and resetting tables and getting new diners in, all without the aid of electronic devices. The decor is rather Spartan - grey concrete block walls, dark brown furniture, very little natural light. There are a few booths and tables in front of the register and then a larger dining area to the right of the entrance. Tables, walls, utensils, etc. were clean. Our server came by shortly after we were seated and took our beverage orders. Two regular coffees and a glass of water. The coffee was nothing special, but it was hot and tasted fresh. I ordered two eggs over easy, bacon, and rye toast. My partner ordered eggs scrambled and home fries. Despite how busy the place was, breakfast arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Eggs were done right, the portion of bacon was generous, and the home fries were good. Everything arrived hot, so it hadn't sat on the line too long. As we ate, we were asked if we wanted more coffee several times by several different servers. We've been to places where our cups are never refilled, so we appreciated the ask. Total for breakfast was around $25. This seemed reasonable in today's economy. This isn't a place for ambiance or decor, but if you are looking for basic sustenance done well, it is worth stopping.

(WRONG) Store brand white bread with chopped up Steak-Um meat and canned gravy. I will say though, the frozen French fries were PERFECTLY cooked, the perfect amount of crisp. The staff was friendly enough. I don't believe that one thing at this restaurant is hand made. Just to be clear, I do not recommend.

I got the coconut lime mojito that was minty, full of coconut and cream and loved the soda water. The only reason I'm taking a star off the experience and service was because we told our waitress it was my birthday and I didn't get a complimentary dessert. This was our first time there and I don't know if free birthday desserts aren't something they do, but I think our waitress just forgot. We spent a lot, tipped well, but yeah. Unfortunately, I'll remember this place as the restaurant that forgot my birthday but had a cute cat outside of it to make up for it.

Other than that you can't go wrong with one of the flounder/fish preparations and the crab cakes--the latter are HUGE and full of crab meat, little if any filler. Down a star because we found the seafood a little less carefully prepared than some other places on the island. My husband's bunch of clams had quite a bit of grit; there were a few more crab shell shards in the cakes than usual. Service is fast and friendly. Make a reservation for a larger group if you plan to come on a busy night!

After spending the morning at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, we stopped here for lunch…read morefor the first time. Instead of using their lot, we parked across the street. Upon entering, we were seated at a table to the right. Although a lunch buffet was offered, we decided to order directly from the menu. I began with a $4 draft Yuengling and followed it with a $10 bowl of homemade clam chowder, which was delightfully thick. Paola provided excellent service throughout our meal. The total bill came to $70, not including tip.

Saturday at 7:15 in early August. We weren't underdressed in nicer shorts and tees, but could have dressed up more and fit in fine. Our waitress (Lou) was really peppy and fun. Our bill was $$$ but it was worth it. Had a really nice dinner and conversation. They all split the special app of the day: bbq egg rolls, which they enjoyed. Aunt & Uncle got oysters and fried shrimp and swapped halves. He got the fish of the day: broiled Mahi mahi - his first try - and he loved it. I ADORED the Seafood Delight (shrimp, crab, and scallops, in butter & cheese) Finally some fresh crab meat, and so delicious. We also all split the Dubai chocolate cake - very rich but with a delightful crunch. Two thumbs way up!

Instead, one of the three teenagers running the hostess stand, yelled out, "How many?!" After the second time, we realized she was shouting at us from across the room. When I told her "Four," she responded, "Four?!" Yes. God. Also, FTR: If you have a child who has allergies or is picky as all get and you want to bring him a sandwich to eat at the table with you so that you and your family can enjoy something other than pizza, don't come here. We looked at the kids' menu and there was nothing our son wanted so, we put our order in-- spent over $100. I went out to our car (we are traveling so we had stuff for PB+J). I grabbed him a bag of chips and a milk box and went back inside. He ate about halfway through his sandwich, and our server came to the table and said that the owner told her that we couldn't bring food in the restaurant because it was a health code violation (which it isn't-- we looked it up). Just pettiness that we brought food instead of buying a kids' meal while they had a full restaurant of people giving them business-- not suffering there that they need to be *that* kind of weird about missing out on the sale of a kids' meal to a family spending over $100. My husband ended up taking him outside to sit on a bench and finish his food while we waited for them inside. So much for eating together as a family. I will admit that, after going outside to check on my husband and son, I noticed a sign on the door that said "No Outside Food or Drinks." If it hadn't been there, I might have said something. Cherry on top was, soon after we were told we couldn't bring our son food inside, we noticed a young child wandering in and out of the kitchen. Not sure where he came from but it didn't seem in line with their commitment to their "health code." Definitely didn't look safe. No one stopped this kid even though they saw him. Okay, about the food-- it was mediocre, at best. Hush puppies were supposed to famous good, but they were average. A bit too sweet for our liking, but improved with a smear of butter. Crab dip was tasty but very heavy with a lot of cheese. Would actually be nice if it was served with thin tortilla chips instead of pita. Crab cakes were good, but nothing exceptional. Had a decent flavor and a light batter. Minimal filler and could taste that they were made with fresh crab. Clam chowder tasted like canned vegetable soup with just a few of the tiniest, almost indistinguishable, pieces of rubbery clam inside. We also got a dozen steamed oysters. These were okay, but many of the oysters had shell broken and bits of shell that we had to pick out of the oysters. Should say, my son got water to drink and the water tasted really off. My husband tried it and agreed that it had an off-putting metallic-y taste. Honestly, the ordeal with us bringing in food for our son and having to interrupt our family meal to take him outside to eat, put a bad taste in our mouth and made it hard to enjoy our meal. Didn't help that the owner was floating around and avoiding us as if we were being shunned for our "terrible" behavior. Silliness. Best thing about our experience was our server, Vicki, who was very sweet and attentive. If you come here without the audacity to bring food for your picky kid with allergies, ask for Vicki to take care of you, and order the fried crab cakes.
