Food is good if you like fried. The view is wonderful. A great place to spend a summer afternoon.

Been here several times and never disappointed with the food. They have the BEST crab cakes and fish around. Highly recommend. Just wish they were open year round.

Delicious food with great service. Waterfront ambiance with outdoor seating. We went by boat and just tied up boat on their dock!

The best of all is their view. CPT sits on a pier over the Potomac river with incredible views and sunsets (access by boat too with tie ups). CPT is a great bar that will periodically have live bands. The wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the Northern Neck area of Virginia. They do have a staffing shortages like many restaurants so service can be slow like Key West. Just relax and enjoy the view, and order two beers at a time so you are not sitting empty handed for a long time. The meals are great.

It was 4 p.m., the place was not super busy and we waited over 20 minutes at a table and were never waited on. We ended up leaving without being acknowledged. Such a shame.

It's worth the drive to just get a drink and be on the water. I showed up and they stated they were not taking food orders because they were out of food, at around 3:30-4pm. This seems to be a common theme in reviews. It's worth it for a beer. Atmosphere is great and the employees I encountered were nothing but nice. If you get food it will just be a pleasant surprise!

What a GREAT place! First of all, the views are AMAZING. The wait staff is SPECTACULAR, and the food was pretty good. Before I begin, this restaurant is pretty remote, so the fact that they were out of numerous menu items the week after a holiday is COMPLETELY understandable! Our server was sure to let us know what was NOT available when we got our menus. Hubs had the pork sandwich, I had the fried fish. Hubs said the pork was delicious, but super tough. Pry because being out of so many items, they most likely didn't have time to cook the pork long enough to get as tender as it should be. My fish was good. Could've been cooked a wee bit longer, but the fish itself was great. The fries? THE BEST. Great, horseradish-y cocktail sauce, too! The interior had a really nice bar, seemed cozy enough, and there was a large seating area with lots of room for groups...or to just not feel crowded. The outside, well......simply perfect! What sold this place was our no-bones waitress, the perfect service she provided, the views, and just the overall realness of this place. It is kind of a long drive for a meal, but we will be back!

We tried the seafood pizza. Amazing. Pricey, but well worth it. A wonderful blend of flavors. Our friend had the clam strips. So much better than Howard Johnson's. My friend said that I should give a bad review so we can keep for ourselves. We will return.

Sunday on the water... called ahead because it's a trip across the river! Was told as long as you are here by 5 you will be seated. Got there about 4:55 and was told sorry kithen is closed ran out of food!? So I was like wish that would have been explained to us that this was a possibility before we crossed the river!? I was actually like ok you know stuff happens, THEN the little girl who spoke to me on the phone came out with an ATTITUDE, and was like you called a long time ago so that's on you. WHAT?! We will never waste the time to go over there again! So freaking rude and we've had the food before, it's basic at best , just USED to be convenient while out boat, but if that's how they treat customers, NO THANKS! we will tell everyone we know, to stay away! Sucky people!

Fantastic food! Annie & Chris are amazing. Come here anytime we are in town. Show up for a great time.

This is THE worst. We stopped in for dinner. Wasn't that busy. The bar area was a little full but outside was pretty open. We had 6 people. Walked in, seated right away. Took a minute for the server to come. We ordered drinks...should have ordered food at the same time but we didn't. It took her at least 20-25 minutes to come take our food order. After that. We sat there for another 55 minutes...no food, drink cups empty, and when I went to ask the status of our order she said there were EIGHT orders ahead of ours still. LIKE HOW?!?! Anywho. We paid for our drink and left after she tried to explain why our food was taking so long. All I would have preferred was for them to advise us of the wait before we actually waited...wasted hour and a half...had Arbys on the way home. It was delicious.

Lovely spot to take in the sunset, enjoy a few Miller Lites on the river, and enjoy a crab cake sandwich. Low key vibe. Super casual. It's all about the local experience. Plenty of parking, outdoor tables galore.

this was our first time here. we called for a table and they were able to fit us into their night. when we arrived, they shared that they had run out of most of their food since it was the last night of the week for them. we ended up staying. and they could not have been more gracious to us. the owner came out and told us what they could make for us, which was perfect. they served huge portions, which we really could not eat since it was so much food! they served us quickly, even though my mother ordered this super complicated drink. it is hard to run a business in this environment, and we saw 2 guests completely (and unfairly) berate the very young server and the owner. we had a great meal with great service sitting on the water - I didn't have to cook. we will be back. maybe just on a different day! and with sweet vermouth too....
