The setup is very casual--basic bar food, plenty of outdoor seating, and a nice bar right in the middle of everything. The kids loved being outside and having room to move around, and it definitely has that relaxed, beach-vacation vibe. **BUT... parents, keep your eyes on those kids! ** The outdoor area goes right into the water, so it's not exactly the place where you can sit back and completely check out while the kids run wild, especially if you have toddlers. Great for families, but definitely requires some supervision, especially with little ones. Food is pretty standard bar food--nothing that I'd plan a trip around--but the atmosphere is really what you're coming for. Grab a drink, enjoy the breeze, let the kids burn off some energy, and soak up the Chincoteague vibes.

We got two big bench tables next to each other for our group. Since we came few minutes before 4pm, we were able to try some of their happy hour dishes. The cheese bites and chicken tenders were top notch. From the main menu I got the try the clams, crab cakes, the seafood platter and the quesadilla. They all seemed to be okay dishes, none of them were highlight worthy. Drinks were good though. Some of the friends ordered the AYCE crabs and ate 20-25 those. The service was also underwhelming. Our young server tried her best to keep up with our large group and all other tables she was waiting. Time to time we had to remind her about our drinks and other requests. The main dishes took 40-45 minutes to come out. There was an additional fee also for paying with credit card. Despite all the shortcomings I felt, they seemed to be a really popular spot, as there were lines of people outside when we were leaving after dinner.

The food itself is okay.. the sauce on the burgers (we ordered the Hammy's favorite and Blondes Have More Fun), actually stole the show, more than the actual burger itself. THE WINGS, also... stole the show. We ordered thai chili wings too (Big Ol Wings, also pictured), good choice. Now these milkshakes, also fire. My boyfriend and I ordered the strawberries & cream and the unbirthday cake milkshake (both pictured), and the server for sure was not wrong, when he said the fan favorite was the strawberries & cream. I would love to come to Hammy's again, for some wings & milkshakes. The burger, eh.. I wouldn't mind trying another option that they have.

The BIL & SIL really enjoyed them. The Better half decided to eat light a Cuppa Reel Cream of Crab Soup and some ChickenTenders with Key Lime Honey Mustard. The Chicken tenders were nicely breaded and the Key Lime Honey Mustard made them even more delicious. Unfortunately for me I ordered the Mahi Dinner which was to be an 8oz Lightly Seasoned & Grilled to perfection served with a mango salsa! Unfortunately I was disappointed in their grilled to perfection. Because the Mahi was completely over cooked and dried out! The flavors were there but definitely over cooked!

I pulled up for a Sunday brunch to hang with the cousins, a group of about 20, and let me start by…read moresaying--this is not a grab-and-go brunch situation. It's a Caribbean spot with a full brunch menu, so yes, the food takes a little time... but that's part of the experience, not a flaw. Given the size of our party, the service held its own. It was steady, attentive, and friendly without feeling rushed--which honestly matched the vibe perfectly. If you come in expecting lightning-fast turnaround, you're in the wrong mindset. Come to enjoy your time. Now let's talk food. I ordered the steak, and it did not disappoint--well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. But the real surprise? That biscuit and butter. Listen... I could've made a whole meal out of that alone. And the mimosas? Nice and light--exactly how our group likes them. I didn't get the oxtail and grits, but I didn't need to. One look across the table told me everything I needed to know--full-on bowl-to-the-chin action. If you know, you know. It wasn't overly crowded for a Sunday, but the weather had randomly dipped back into winter mode after teasing us with 80 degrees, so I'll give them that. Overall, great experience. Good food, solid service, and a vibe that encourages you to sit, sip, and stay awhile. Exactly what brunch should be.

Not strong but just what I needed to take that drive back home. We both ordered the Po boy shrimp sliders. It came with fries. Also ordered the shrimp egg rolls. I hear they have performers here at times. Also would love to check out the drag brunch. Happy hour menu is very reasonable. Would love to return for the entertainment. Just keep in mind the restaurant is small. I could see it getting really crowded on a busy day. I still would return though. I enjoyed my visit.

We dined with friends who had some issues with their food, but to keep things fair, I'm scoring this strictly from my own experience. We arrived at 5pm and were able to take advantage of the happy hour menu. The food came out fast and had great flavor. The mussels were my favorite dish of the night. The white wine garlic butter gave them an amazing taste that left me wanting more, and they were only $11 for Happy Hour instead of the regular $15. We also ordered the crab dip for $11, normally priced at $15. I loved the dip itself, but the Old Bay toast wasn't my favorite. I enjoy Old Bay, but it didn't feel necessary here. The Baha Mahi‑Mahi was fresh, and my wife's Angus New York strip was cooked exactly how she likes it. Somehow I forgot to take a picture of her dish. I would personally come back, but my friends said they wouldn't, which is a bummer. With a score of 24 out of 25, I'm giving this restaurant an A.

The restaurant was mostly empty so this was a mostly locals happy hour crowd for sure. Regular customer next to me pronounced the seasoned bartender the greatest of all time. We ordered a couple of house margaritas ($6.50) which came in a pint glass and were plenty strong. Only needed one of those! First up, crab dip. It came in a massive vessel, bubbling hot and lots of bread. This dish was so large I ate the leftovers three times. Big chunks of crab in a standard rich base. I brought rice crackers, but husband liked this plain bread better than the oily garlic toast that accompanied the mussels. Mussels were a big pile, with toast, in a mild broth. Not spectacular but a solid presentation. And finally, the boiled shrimp with old bay. Burning our fingers in our eagerness to peel and eat these babies, we got our fill for $10. Their cocktail sauce had an excellent texture, better than just ketchup and horseradish like some bars. Anyway, nice job and very economical! Bartender seemed disappointed we didn't need refills on drinks, but tomorrow is another day! Thanks for the hospitality, Coins!
