    Stuffed Flounder
    Roger C.

    We've been coming down to the island for 10 years, but never ate here. Tonight we decided to stop in since it looked like it was a little slower. There was a short wait, but we received it within 15 minutes. Immediately we were greeted by our server who went out of work to welcome us and make suggestions. We have stuff, Founder and chicken Parmesan. Both of our meals were very large and filling, causing us to take much of it home. The atmosphere was very cute sectioned off to allow for privacy. What made this dinner fantastic was at our server Ryleigh who was amazing. She was not only cordial when she greeted us but throughout the evening, checked on us and had conversations just to make sure we had a great experience. If we were being over critical, the one thing I would recommend is that the bussers sweep the floors occasionally because of the straw wrappers other trash lying.

    Took my family here. We were promptly seated and treated with smiles. The restaurant was nice with some great views. The tables are far apart from each other and didn't feel crowded at all. My wife and I love the bowl of cream of crab soup. The table loved the Calamari, great light breading and perfectly fried. Good size portion too. My wife and I enjoyed the broiled seafood platter. My grandson loved the fried clams. Of site free parking, but can be tight or overflowing.

    We've been coming here for years and the experience was great. For this recent visit, something has changed. The customer service was lacking (maybe it was too busy on the day we were there). The seafood, although fresh, felt like it was rushed. The chicken parm was decent. Worth checking out if you want a sit down type of restaurant.

    Surf & Turf with mushrooms and onions

    We came here on a Friday evening without reservations around 7:45 PM and were able to be seated in less than 20 minutes. The decor is very much like a family-style seafood restaurant. The wait staff was very courteous and took our drink orders as we sat down. We put in a large order of appetizers and entrees to get a feel for the local cuisine and it did not disappoint! The coconut shrimp was colossal and the dipping sauce was great, it reminded me of duck (sweet & sour) sauce from a Chinese restaurant. The broiled crab cake was super flavorful and not heavily breaded. The surf & turf hit the spot for me: the lobster tail was great, the filet was cooked as requested, the addon of mushrooms and onions was pricey and worth it, and the crab imperial was rich. Definitely recommend coming here for dinner!

    Amazing food great atmosphere You couldn't ask for a better server than Kenzie. Fast friendly and so efficient. Even without a reservation we were seated in less then 5 minutes 10 outta 10 for sure Would recommend to anyone

    Stuffed rockfish special
    Kelli M.

    Another great dinner at the village. Went as a hungry party of 6 for a 7pm reservation. We started with bbq shrimp, oysters, onion rings, crab balls and coconut shrimp(they're huge). Everything was delicious besides the crab balls seemed bland to me but weren't bad when dipped in the sauce they came in. I had the special- stuffed rockfish it had shrimp, scallops and crab imperial inside. Other people got filet mignon, fried oysters, and two penne pasta with scallops.

    Captain Zack's is one of the go to places on the island. Everything seafood specific is a must!…read more I consistently get the blackened Mahi. So good and seasoned well! You can also get it fried or grilled as well. A variety of sides and more than French fries. Get the potato salad and green beans!!! They have a full service bar as well and a place to watch games. A tip is to put your name in an hour to two hours before you're actually ready to eat. If you want to eat at 7pm, go there at 5pm to put your name in. Play put put, take a shower, etc. Don't go there when you are actually ready to eat! lol. It's bumping!

    You really can't go wrong with a dozen raw local oysters and grilled flounder. We ripped through…read morethe oysters like someone was about to take them away. Chincoteague oysters are clean tasting, very briny, and super tender. I just had it with a generous squeeze of lemon and that's all I needed. I will dream of those oysters, seriously. The grilled flounder was fresh, but a little under seasoned. It would have been A+ if it had been generously salted before grilling (adding salt at the table just isn't the same). BTW, a flounder platter has three filets - so I'd recommend sharing. The sides were also generously portioned. (Onion rings will make you happy.) We had a great server, we were glad we visited during low season because I bet this place is PACKED when tourists are around.

    Another outstanding experience at Ray Shanty's for our anniversary…read more Great atmosphere- phenomenal food and service was awesome. We had stuffed jumbo shrimp and prime rib!

    Walked in and it was chaos with only a few people in front of us. There was more than one hostess…read moreand a woman who I found out later was the owner. No one greeted us. 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.
