    8 small mild taste battered thick oysters
    Shay K.

    I saw online they had fried oysters and good ratings for them. I think reviews said they were lightly fried, which sounded good to me. I got there early before any dinner rush like around 6pm and was able to order right away. I never had fried oysters and wanted to try them since they're a local favorite in this island area. So I don't know what they're supposed to taste like but I mostly tasted the batter. I think the oysters were mild so that's good that they're not pungent or fishy. But I really didn't taste anything. And another thing that's annoying, the server asked if I wanted chips/salsa, fries or sweet potatoes fries. I said is that extra or it comes w it and yeah it comes w it. One of the three. Well I get charged $3 for fries!!!!! Like tell me which one is free & comes with or tell me which ones are extra charge. I don't like to get ripped off. Especially now knowing the $25 oysters are tasteless. I should have drove 20 min over to the Maryland seafood place where the review said air fried & big portion. Tomorrow I'm going elsewhere. I will say this restaurant is packed so I think people are prob ordering fillets or steaks. Plus I only got 8 small oysters. Is called Oyster Basket, so I had higher expectations than what I got.

    I had been to Blackfin's truck and was excited to try their brick and mortar place. Overall, it was okay. It was a busy night (our waitress apologized, explaining that they had two 12-tops and that was the main reason things were going slowly). We ordered the children's food first hoping it would come out sooner, but even that took a while. The tapas menu seems to change a bit, and we got the Crispy Hot Honey Oysters. They were perfectly done with just the right amount of crust on top of a just-cooked oyster. Child #2 devoured them and declared that he loves fried oysters (and he had never had them before here). They sadly had run out of the scallop ceviche and nothing else was grabbing us so we went with the main menu. My wife got a Chicken So-Cal, which has mashed avocado, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle aioli; basic, but she liked it. I got the Baja Fish Tacos (2), which that night was flounder. Pretty straightforward fried fish taco - a nice crema and cabbage with lime was a good meal. Child #1 is a vegetarian and we came here for the solid options available. While he opted for a simple cheese quesadilla from the kids' menu, we also got a Captain Jack, which is a jackfruit-based vegetarian take on the Kalua Pork sandwich. It had a nice shred to it and a little sweetness from the pineapple. Definitely recommended. Child #2 has never met a burger he didn't like and the kids' menu burger was surprisingly large. Fries and sweet potato fries were standard and good. There is an extensive wine list with a lot of sauvignon blancs on the whites list. I got one that was very well described on the list, right down to identifying notes of gooseberry. It went well with my tacos. They also offer several local beers as well as domestic options. I saw someone getting cocktails at the bar, but the menu offered to us didn't include any of those options; I might have preferred a cocktail, but oh well. Our waitress was kind and attentive. It was a bit slow due to lots of other folks, but that wasn't her fault. The prices were reasonable for a beach town.

    Wonderful restaurant. Our server Kate was very polite and made great recommendations for our vegetarian request.We ordered the jackfruit poke bowl and it was delicious. We also ordered burrata and that was equally amazing. Their veggie burger was also very nice. Kids grilled cheese was a disappointment though. It was Memorial Day weekend so obviously the place was crowded and service was a little slow but it was a great experience overall

    Food came out very fast, entrees were delicious (fries could've been fresher) The Y viogner was delicious - atmosphere is beautiful (but loud- need fabric and plants). Bartenders were very helpful with the menu. Many selections and a great variety for all diets.

    the service was great and super nice, the fish was unbelievably fresh and tasted great!! we're super happy with what we had. the paintings on the wall are by local artists and are for sale and it really gives it a nice comfortable atmosphere.

    The food here was okay! Decently fresh when it came to the poke. I'm grateful I ordered the sauce on the side, as my company did not and it was a little much unagi and dressing on theirs. Overall the ingredients are fresh and the menu is probably one of the more imaginative on the island that I experienced. The owners of a once food truck now brick and mortar restaurant should be proud. We had reservations and ended up being seated in a reasonable amount of time. It was awkward to wait 1+ hours between sitting, appetizers, and finally our check. We sat at 6:30 and didn't leave until after 8 as their "last table" but the servers were very sweet. We were originally going to be seated closer to the kitchen but I requested the room facing the street which was away from several large groups/families with toddlers running the floors. They were out of nigiri and sushi but had plenty of everything else. Appetizers were fried well and the poke bowls we all ordered were fresh. Portions of the apps were quite small but then everything else was larger than expected. My partners tacos came out not so great. The breading was soaked through and very soft. 0% crispy. We aren't sure if it were from being cooked improperly (the fish itself was fine) or if the cilantro crema on it had soaked through while the rest of our entrees were being prepped. Overall we would be willing to try again maybe on a less busy night. They still seem to be figuring out service. Menu TLDR; Shark bites (decent, like very soft and fatty fish sticks), hot honey fried oysters were okay but not spiced enough, fish tacos (soft breading like it was not fried properly or left out too long... similar to microwaved fish sticks) had good ratio of meat to taco, tuna islander poke was probably the best thing we ordered with sauce on the side and was very fresh.

    Cute paintings

    My friend and I stopped in for a quick lunch. The fish tacos were delicious! We beat the lunch rush so it started off as an empty restaurant. People filtered in and it ended up busy. Our waitress was attentive. The inside was pretty and clean. I loved the artwork on the walls

    Got seated right away for a table of four on a Friday evening. The food wasn't bad but anything that was breaded or fried, lacked flavor.

    Captain Zack's is one of the go to places on the island. Everything seafood specific is a must!…read more I consistently get the blackened Mahi. So good and seasoned well! You can also get it fried or grilled as well. A variety of sides and more than French fries. Get the potato salad and green beans!!! They have a full service bar as well and a place to watch games. A tip is to put your name in an hour to two hours before you're actually ready to eat. If you want to eat at 7pm, go there at 5pm to put your name in. Play put put, take a shower, etc. Don't go there when you are actually ready to eat! lol. It's bumping!

    You really can't go wrong with a dozen raw local oysters and grilled flounder. We ripped through…read morethe oysters like someone was about to take them away. Chincoteague oysters are clean tasting, very briny, and super tender. I just had it with a generous squeeze of lemon and that's all I needed. I will dream of those oysters, seriously. The grilled flounder was fresh, but a little under seasoned. It would have been A+ if it had been generously salted before grilling (adding salt at the table just isn't the same). BTW, a flounder platter has three filets - so I'd recommend sharing. The sides were also generously portioned. (Onion rings will make you happy.) We had a great server, we were glad we visited during low season because I bet this place is PACKED when tourists are around.

    Food is amazing. The service was fast and the girl that took our order helped us pick out the meal…read moreplan for our party of 8. Delicious!

    5 star food, but kind of a 2.5 star experience…read more We have been coming to Chincoteague and eating at Woody's for years. The barbecue is great--smokey and tender meats, tangy-sweet sauce, fall-off-the-bone ribs. The sides are solid as well for the most part--crispy crunchy coleslaw, savory and sweet baked beans, satisfyingly creamy and crunchy corn nuggets, perfectly balanced sweet potato fries. However: I don't know if there's ever been a year when we got ALL the food we ordered. If you order for a group pretty much just expect you'll get about 80% of what you bought. You can't call or order online; you have to go say or present your order in person. If it's more than like two items the best way seems to be to write it down and hand over a list but that isn't a guarantee of anything. This year, we placed an order for six people including two platters--half rack of ribs and the half rack + half chicken combo. Guess what: no chicken in the bag. Also no cornbread, which was supposed to come with the platters. If this was a one-off that would be one thing. But I kid you not in 10 years I don't think we've ever received 100% of the food. It's really frustrating to drive over there, wait and then find out stuff is missing. I want to recommend Woody's based on the quality of the food. But: Don't trust that they'll get it right. Just expect that you should unpack the whole order when they hand it to you and check everything before driving away.
