Nice restaurant, food was quite good but on the expensive side. Scallops were awesome.
Love the small Marina and atmosphere of a very small town.

Wow, the food here is truly fantastic! Hurry up and give it a try—after 15 wonderful years, they’re closing their doors January 2026. Don’t miss out—rush over to enjoy some delicious dishes. The team is super friendly and warm, making your experience even more special.

Good quality local seafood with incomparable views of seaside marsh. Watch the boats and the sky while enjoying a meal with your friends and family. The service is always pleasant and the food well prepared.

We typically take advantage of local's night on Thursdays. We're fans of their grits & shrimp which isn't on their standard menu. You can't beat the view! And Brionna is one of the BEST bartenders/servers!! She has an incredible memory for people's names & is always the perfect balance of so c isl & attentive. Highly recommend the Island House

My family(va), husband and I (nj) have been coming to the Island. House for many years. We have really enjoyed every meal we had. That is until this trip 6/23/25. We always had the fried oyster platter which was the best. We found out that the menu had changed and no longer served it. Although the fried oyster sandwich was okay it wasn't the same. Needless to say I do not think we will be coming back. We were also charged 4 dollars for 8 sweet potato fries. We will miss carol and Dana who made our trip from nj very enjoyable. We wish you all the best Sue and Wayne from nj

What an amazing place! The staff was very welcoming and friendly! Had the calamari as an app, soft shelled crabs as my meal (phenomenal!!!) and the locally made smith island cake, which left me speechless!! Will definitely be back!

If I could give Island House catering 6 stars, I would. They catered my wedding and they killed it. Food was delicious, all the guests were so impressed. They took so much stress off of me in terms of logistics and details that I didn’t even think of. They made everything go so smoothly and their team was so professional and helpful. Hands down the best

I had lunch while I was in town for business. The crab cake sandwich was amazing! I sat at the bar and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I believe the bartenders name was Carol. Carol was a very welcoming and lovely person. I’ll definitely be back!
