10 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Machipongo

“Pleasant service and they had a flavor of wine for everyone in the group. Despite being on a beautiful estate apparently near the bay, the tasting room was in a warehouse in the middle of a field, and was surprisingly uninviting and industrial (floor to ceiling pallets of wine cases surrounding the tasting area). Feels like the tasting experience is an afterthought, and was self-guided with no info about winery or wines discussed. Large outdoor space with lawn games for the kids but limited shade on a blazing July day.“

“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.“

“Really great ice cream by every standard!“

“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.“

“We are so glad we chose the Exmore Diner to cater our wedding. The food was absolutely incredible! The quality of the food exceeded all our expectations. The crabcakes were a standout.
