Restaurants in Tangier

“Currently the ONLY sit down restaurant on the Island. (Tangier was hit pretty hard by the shutdown of tourism due to "the Vid" -- many businesses closed. Truly hoping that all the lovely reviews this year will see a resurgence to the Island and they are able to continue to recover!)It is an island of crab shacks so... come on, you need to order crab-related things here. The crab dip and crabby fries are delicious - every person we talked to recommended these items :) I am not a fan of soft-shelled crabs **gasp** (I know - the horror) ... so I can't comment on them directly, but the other visitors we ran into were raving about them. I ordered the flounder sandwich twice, the fillet was massive, a meal itself and very well fried, so if you aren't into fresh soft-shelled crabs, I recommend whatever fish fillet sandwich they have - they know how to prepare fish!Crabcakes are fried, not lump - I think that is a VA vs MD thing - not sure. I prefer lump so again I passed on that, but the other excellent items they have are coleslaw and macaroni salad. I know, weird thing to rave about, but every place I go the macaroni salad has overcooked noodles, too much mayo and no flavor and the coleslaw is a watery-flavorless mess... NOT HERE :) Both sides have a good balance of mayo to vinegar and the coleslaw is nice and peppery - just absolute kudos to whomever is making it. We ate here 4 or 5 times and got both sides with each meal. THAT. GOOD.It is a small place and it is the ONLY restaurant, so be prepared to wait during prime lunch and dinner hours - they have a lot of hungry people to feed :)**IMPORTANT TIP** If you are staying on the island on a Sunday -- EVERYTHING closes at 4 PM. Get your dinner with your lunch if you don't have groceries to cook for yourself. Lorraine's will even take your order at lunch, prepare it and deliver it or have it ready to pick-up before closing if you don't want to reheat.Parking: Like 3 spots for golf carts ;) Seriously?? The island is like a mile long, where are you staying that you need parking anyway? :)”

“I don't recommend the actual food unless you go into with the right expectations. It is pool-concession stand type food, nothing great... This is a place to get SLUSHIES or SOFT-SERVE or some sort of frozen treat! Cool down and refresh yourself with a slushy in any flavor imaginable :)We were on the island for 4 days and this was our go to for a mid-afternoon treat. Grab your preferred frozen concoction and park yourself at one of the dock side picnic tables, next to Cameron Evan's Photography, to have nice view of the water.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating, very casual, and what child doesn't like some sort of frozen snack :)”
