12 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.“

“I love all the pretty murals outside and inside this restaurant! It has a great ocean view! It was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. My fried cod and waffle fries were delicious! This is a historic building and it gives really interesting information on the menu about it. My partner loved his crab and artichoke dip. They had Keylime pie, but I didn’t get it (THIS time!). One of my kiddos had macaroni and cheese and it was the Kraft kind so that made his taste buds very happy! Their food came out on frisbees!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 won’t go back“

“Best cocktails and mixed drinks by Dillon! Very clean and friendly.“

“The food here was excellent. Everything our group ordered was flavorful, well-prepared, and arrived in a reasonable amount of time.

Service started out strong, with our waitress being attentive and taking care of us promptly. However, once our food was delivered, the service essentially disappeared. No one came back to check on our table, refill drinks, or see if we needed anything else. We eventually had to go find our waitress just to get our check.

What made this more frustrating was that the restaurant was not particularly busy at the time. There were plenty of empty tables, and no one appeared to be waiting for a table. Since we were a larger party, the gratuity was automatically included on the bill, which made the lack of follow-up service even more noticeable.

One other thing to be aware of is the parking lot behind the restaurant. Parking is very tight and can be challenging, especially if you drive a larger SUV, truck, or other oversized vehicle.

Overall, the food was great and would absolutely bring us back. If the service remained as attentive throughout the meal as it was at the beginning, the experience would have been much better.“

“We had a wonderful dinner for our anniversary very good service and friendly will come again“

“Great food! Great service! Awesome experience! We will be back soon!“
