11 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Machipongo

“Wine is fantastic! The Vintner's is special, very tasty. Great people, chill vibe, outdoor seating, no seating inside, a couple local vendors items for sale inside. Interesting fact: all their wine comes from their own grapes! Ask about the wind machine!“

“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.“

“Brown Dog Ice Cream is one of the best spots on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Their ice cream is made locally, the flavor variety is wonderful, and it is definitely a must-stop if you are visiting Cape Charles.“

“Amazing food and people. The gluten free cookies taste like regular cookies“

“Fantastic! Came from NC and not the least bit disappointed. Best brunch or easy stop in for food, sweets and any kind of liquid, coffee/tea/freshers!“

“Best shave ice I’ve ever had…and I’ve had a lot!“

“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.
