About Lorraine's Seafood Restaurant

Nestled on the charming Tangier Island, Lorraine's Seafood Restaurant is a popular spot for authentic and delicious seafood. As the only sit-down restaurant on the island, Lorraine's has become a favorite among visitors, offering a welcoming environment and a menu that highlights the island's fresh catch. The restaurant is especially known for its crab dishes, including crab cakes that are seasoned perfectly and filled with succulent crab meat, reflecting their commitment to using local ingredients. The crab dip and crabby fries are also highly praised, with many guests describing them as delectable.

For those seeking other seafood options, the soft shell crab platter is a favorite, served quickly and fried to perfection, offering crispy and flavorful bites. The Scott’s crabby fries are another popular choice, perfect for snacking during a boat ride or a short visit. The restaurant provides a cozy atmosphere that is not too loud or bright, making it an ideal place to relax after outdoor activities.

Guests often enjoy the crab cake sandwich, which comes on a bun with a side of chips, and many add tartar sauce for extra flavor. The crab dip and crab soup are also highly recommended, both praised for their flavor and quality. A special treat is the chocolate Smith Island cake, available for dessert. The staff is known for being friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

Given the island's small size and limited parking, visitors should be prepared for wait times during busy hours, typically around 15-20 minutes. On Sundays, the restaurant offers a service where lunch orders can be taken in advance and prepared for pickup, so guests don’t miss out. Overall, Lorraine's Seafood Restaurant offers a delightful seafood experience, focusing on fresh, local ingredients and friendly service, making it a must-visit destination on Tangier Island.
