This place has a Cheers vibe. The people we saw at the bar have probably been coming here for 30 years. All walks of life and backgrounds. The vibe was good. The bartender was also the waitress. She was running around doing the best she could. I have traveled extensively. i was a little skeptical on the food, but what we ordered was cooked perfectly. Would I go again? Probably. A couple pool tables and a juke box really add to the ambience.

Ordered drinks and a large pizza, half plain; half peppers and pepperoni, extra thin crust. Look, we are from NY so, yeah, we are a little pizza snobby. But, tbh, this pizza was really tasty! Was it brick oven neapolitan worthy? No, but this isn't a brick oven joint and doesn't claim to be. Full disclosure: we drove by the Deadrise in Cape Charles and had no patience for an hour wait. And that, too, was understandable. It was Friday night, Memorial Day weekend! The staff here was warm and welcoming, crowd was friendly, we liked watching the pool players and left happy and full. Recommend!

If you're spending a day on Virginia's Eastern Shore, Cape Charles Brewing Company is absolutely…read moreworth a stop. We popped in for a casual beer break, and it quickly turned into one of the highlights of the day. The space itself is gorgeous! It's open, airy and designed with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Cape Charles perfectly. You order both beer and food inside at the counter, which keeps things easy and low- key. I went with the Pilsner, and it was exactly what I wanted, perfect after a day out exploring. Their beer list has something for everyone, whether you're into lighter options or something with a bit more depth. We didn't order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. They've got plenty of options like burgers, nachos, and other brewery favorites that definitely seemed worth trying next time. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There was so much going on in the best way. They had a dog adoption event happening outside while we were there, which added such a fun, community-driven vibe. They also host live music and other events regularly, so it feels like there's always something to check out. The outdoor space is huge and perfect if you're with a group or bringing kids. There's a fire pit, games like cornhole, and plenty of room to spread out and hang for a while. Definitely the kind of place you plan to stop at for one drink and end up staying much longer. I will be adding this to my must visit list anytime I'm on the Eastern Shore.

Coming from Northern Virginia, my standard for breweries is high and Cape Charles Brewing more than meets (surpasses) that standard. Their beer is absolutely wonderful and their selection of food is delicious and perfect for beer-drinking fun. They have a nice little outdoor seating area and some picnic benches with some games/activities for the kids. How can you want more??

There was a line but it moved quickly and the counter person was very friendly.

There was a public bathroom that you had to ask for the key in order to use. Would highly recommend!

This place takes the order when you walk in, then you seat yourself until your food is brought you. There was about a 5 minute wait before we placed our order, and another 10 before we received our food. You will notice at first glance that this place is in dire need of a makeover. However, don't let that sway you from dining here because, the food was pretty darn good. I ordered 1/2 rack of ribs, Potato Salad, Mac & Cheese, and Cornbread. The ribs were tender, tasty and not drowning in BBQ sauce ...LUV IT!!!!...The Mac & Cheese was good, but needed to be warmed up. They use real cheddar, which is what I prefer, and not a Velveeta creamy type cheese like most establishments.The potato salad was decent, and the Cornbread was sweet, fluffy, & hot. The only issue that I had with this meal was the temp of the Mac & Cheese when it was served to me. It could've been a lil warmer. The other issue was that they did not have any Chicken or Fish menu items . However, we did visit on a holiday weekend 1 hour before they were closing: The wait staff here was great..I could not give this place 5 stars due to the need for renovations in the establishment and the temp of my Mac & Cheese. But this is a place worthy of visiting, just don't have too high expectations..

We arrived a little early for our reservation, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. They seated us right away and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu without feeling rushed. The food was unbelievably fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious! Every bite was fantastic, and the service was exceptional. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--it made the entire experience even better. A few tips if you're planning a visit: Make reservations! This place books up quickly. Bar seating is first come, first served, but there are only six seats. There's a beautiful patio overlooking the marina where you can enjoy drinks (no food service on the patio). It's an intimate space with around 10 tables, making for a cozy dining experience. It's a 12-and-up restaurant, perfect for a relaxing date night or an adults-only evening out. It's easy to see why we came back a second time, and it definitely won't be our last! If you're visiting Cape Charles, Hook @ Harvey is an absolute must-visit. We can't wait to return!

However, when we went this year, I didn't feel like spending over $100 to eat at one of the restaurants in town. I'm just not seeing the point anymore. $18 for a burger? More for a seafood entree? Plus drinks, taxes, and tips....I wasn't feeling it despite my love of trying new restaurants and eating local food. It's just not cost effective or enjoyable anymore with a family (date night, sure). So, I decided to do Chinese food. On our beach vacation. And it was one of the best meal decisions I've made while traveling! Friendly service, great prices, huge portions (everyone had seconds including me), giant eggrolls, and quick! We kept it basic and ordered the combo dinners - two chicken w/broccoli, chicken lo mein, and general tsos (spicy). $10.50 for each dinner? Heck. Yes. It was the best Chinese I've had in a long time. Top China will definitely be on the menu next year!

The moment we walked in we were greeted by a beautiful sunset, and were seated by the windows so we can continue to enjoy the scenery. Our waitress Tricia was very attentive and added to a great evening. We started with some drinks and the calamari appetizer (gluten free!) and quickly finished that off. My husband ordered the NY Strip special, I ordered the fried oyster app (gluten free again!), and my daughter ordered the blackened shrimp mac and cheese. Everything was delicious and the mac and cheese was enough for multiple leftover meals, which my daughter already heated some up once and it was just as good as it was when we were there. We will definitely be back on our next trip up to Cape Charles. I would have scored it 5 stars but the service was very slow even with it not being that busy. We didn't mind because we were enjoying the scenery and each other's company but if we had small children with us, it would have likely been an issue.

We chose to get the crab hush puppies and were thrilled to see they were made fresh and hot to order and tasted phenomenal. We devoured them quickly. We decided to split the fish taco meal since it was lunch for us and it came with two large-sized tacos and cole slaw.
