“The staff are very courteous. The atmosphere is pleasantly "beachy.". They have custom milkshakes to order and from what I could see (I did not partake) the banana splits were a two man job to finish. (And I am a rather large person, so take that FWIW.). The crab cake sandwich was a decent 3.5 out of 5. The fried shrimp was also typical fare and the pizza is about what you'd expect from a beach shack. The true heroes were the flounder basket and I was lucky enough to get the fried oyster basket. I give the flounder a solid 4 out of 5 and the fried oysters a 4.5 out of 5. They were perfectly cooked and not overly breaded with cornmeal. (I should have asked for some tobasco, but that didn't stop me from eating two servings.). Oh, and I had to ask for the oysters, they were not on the dinner menu.French fries come with about every basket meal and they are nice and crisp, but you can swap out for hush puppies. Get the hush puppies!Their breakfasts are no joke either. The servings are enough for two. Suggest the french toast or the pancakes with a side of bacon. Either comes with a personal hash brown serving. You can also opt for a breakfast platter with: 2 eggs any style, a hash brown serving, toast, and your choice of breakfast meat. Each breakfast option was well money well spent!The cafe also has habitat controlled bathrooms for him and her, and a pleasant lounge area with accompanying Television to keep you busy while waiting for your order.“

“Food was good. Liked the outdoor area for the dogs to come with. It was pouring down rain but it didn't bother us. Went into the restroom and wasn't expecting political propaganda taped to the door of the stall. I didn't order "Vote Democrat" with my fish & chips. Let's stick to cooking and serving instead of swaying people to vote a certain way in the 2024 election.“

“Enjoyed our first visit to hook at Harvey. Everything was excellent. Service, atmosphere, and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend!!“

“YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY ... This was our 2nd visit, on our way to Ocean City, MD from Richmond, VA, and it's well worth going into Cape Charles, a little out of the way. Food is always fresh & delish, cherry limeade crush was the bomb and the service, Kayle, was awesome. Views aren't too shabby either! We will be back for sure!!! 🦀🦐🍹“
