14 Best Seafood Restaurants near Chincoteague Island

“Our first time to Chincoteague and camping at Yogi. My husband was told we had to try Capt Zach’s well let’s just say we were not disappointed one bit. The freshest seafood I have had in along time. Our Waitress Valerie was very nice and attentive. If you go just know to go early. You will have a slight wait but you won’t be disappointed for sure. 10/10 will be back and it will be worth the 2 hr drive.“

“First time dining at AJ’s and hopefully not the last. Food was fresh and delicious. Caesar salad, oysters Rockefeller and scallops piccata were stellar. Our server, Zack, was friendly and attentive. One of the best dining experiences.“

“I really want to like this place more than I do. Was even tempted to rate at 3 stars, but the atmosphere is a lot of fun. Service is ok and food is alright (nothing special but my favorite item is the crab cake egg rolls). Decent crushes and plenty of flavor options. Be cautious of the seagulls if you’re sitting outside…they will absolutely snatch your food. They also typically have live music that can be hit or miss.“

“We have been to Ray's many times over the years & it has always been a nice experience. Tonight was the WORST service we have ever had. On top of that, the stuffed shrimp was overcooked & only 4 shrimp for $35. For the amount of $ spent, it was highly disappointing all-around.“

“We spent the weekend in Chincoteague for our 65th anniversary. On Saturday we ate lunch and dinner at Bill's. My husband had oysters for lunch and flounder for dinner and was pleased with both selections. I had shrimp for lunch and the fried seafood platter for dinner. They shrimp for both meals were very small and did not have a lot of taste. The clam chowder that was included with my dinner was delicious. The rest of the seafood was average. For sides we had the Granny Smith apple cold slaw and red mashed potatoes with cheddar and hamhocks. Both were absolutely scrumptious. Our cocktails were great, as was the service! We made reservations for dinner. The restaurant filled up quickly but there seemed to be adequate staff. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. We would go back again.“

“We’ve been here for a few days and I have been dying for Italian food. We came here on a whim and we were not disappointed. The service was impeccable. Blake was on top of his game and the nicest server we’ve had on the island so far. The food Was out of this world. We are from the New York area and particular about Italian food, the linguine with shrimp special was amazing. The polenta meatballs out of this world., the Caesar salad was absolutely fantastic and probably the best Caesar dressing I have ever had!!! And then to top it off that orange/mandarin cake with olive oil was mind blowing. This place turned it up to 11!!! Best meal we have had yet!!!“

“This place is now a must go-to every year we come down. I’m only sad that for so many years we never tried it. It is by far our favorite and worth every dollar and ever bite!“

“I love the tea from here its the best on the island!“

“My fiancé and I have been here for the past two weeks, we'll be back on and off until winter because we have a place at Toms Cove but I can say the past 2 weeks we spent here, we went to steamers almost every night even if it was just to get one drink, a app and a shot then leave. We mainly went to the bar side and we had a brown hair waitress most days( i wish i asked her name), she was so wonderful, very respectful, attentive, super nice to every individual. She was the reason we kept going back almost every night. Definitely will be going back everytime were down here. The drinks are very well made, she makes a amazing Bahama momma drink, my fiance loved the mules.
Appetizers I love the potato skins, my fiance loves the clams. The atmosphere is very welcoming and very clean. The people who come in are normally a good crowd to be around. The dinning room we did one evening, its calm, welcoming, fast to get your food and drinks. Steak was good but had a decent amount of fat, so if you dont like fat do the filet. Seasoned very well, cooked well. My fiance loved the snow crab. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.“

“YOU DON'T GET FISH FRESHER THAN THIS,RIGHT OFF THE BOAT. GREAT PRICES.Red, his son Andy, everyone are pleasant and helpful.As Andy was getting my fish he informed me CRABBING season starts MARCH 17, Bushels 1/2 bushels, whatever you need.“
