“This place was a great quick stop to launch our daily adventure! Their breakfast sandwiches and burritos were just what we needed to start the day. They serve local coffee from Eastern Shore Coastal Roasting Co. The dark roast Fog Cutter blend was great!
We would definitely come back again when we return to the area.
Thanks!!”

“I had the pleasure of visiting the brewery last weekend. The beer selection was varied and very good. I especially liked the Pumpkin and the Porter. We ordered food and it was served quickly and in large portions. Our menu items were the nachos, Rockfish sandwich, and the fish tacos which were all delicious. I met the owner, Mark, his wife Deborah, and their daughter Rachel. They were extremely friendly, personable, and quite funny. This is a great brewery and I hope to get a chance to visit again. I highly recommend Cape Charles Brewery.”

“In my solo travels I passed The Great Machipongo Clam Shack. It looked really cute and I remembered my son and his dad mentioned they went there and said they loved it. So I decided to stop. As soon as I entered I loved the vibe. Behind the counter, there was a bumper sticker that said practice forgiveness. They had pictures of the Dalai Lama on the wall. They had peace, love, and clams painted on another wall along with Imagine. The staff was kind and attentive and made me immediately feel at home. I chatted with one of the employees named Lisa and appreciated the “love is the answer” bumper sticker she gave me as I left and will proudly display it on my car along with my other “hippie” bumper stickers. As I sat waiting for my food I enjoyed listening to music from the 60s and 70s. My food was brought to me by a woman that greeted me with a big smile. I was checked on a few times by the various friendly employees. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant. The food was great and I left feeling I had a wonderful experience.”

They truly helped make our celebration unforgettable.”

The owners are delightful!!”

“On Cinco De Mayo, my mom, and I left my Father at the hospital, and went in for dinner. Mom got a call that Dad had no pulse, and they were trying CPR as soon as our meals were brought to the table. Of course, we jumped up to get to the hospital, let our server know, we had a family emergency. We were standing in line to pay, when our server let us know there was no charge. I've been here before, and it's always been excellent. Even though, I'm sad to say, Dad passed, I can't even begin to express the gratitude we felt that night. Lovely place, great food, great atmosphere, and great service! I will stop back to thank in person, and tip our server. She was so kind. I just had to share. Thank you. Good people.”
