    Great country market with lots of local flavor. The premade sandwichs are a great grab and go option!

    Island Foods punches above its weight in terms of offerings. It's a small store in a small beach…read moretown, but they had a pretty respectable amount of grocery options available. First off, yeah, they know lots of folks are going to want alcohol, and I think half of the aisle endcaps displayed something alcoholic. While they had a lot of classic and domestic products, they do offer a decent amount of local beer, wine, and pre-mixed cocktails (even though the Untappd app said the local beer I was looking for wasn't sold anywhere in a 25 mile radius, Island Foods had it!). We came the week of Pony Penning, and the store makes a couple dozen cakes (see picture) to celebrate the occasion. The produce aisle is small, but they have enough that you could get a decent variety of fruits and vegetables for your stay. There's a pretty decent selection of meats here. I don't remember seeing too much non-frozen seafood, but I imagine it's hard to compete with the fresh catch with specialty fish markets on the island. I was pleasantly surprised to find several Gardein products, which meant vegetarian Child #1 could have some imitation meats and seafood if he wanted a protein similar to what the rest of his omnivorous family would get. Things are pricey. Inflation's here to stay and it's a touristy beach town. Considering that, it's not too bad. The folks at the register were very friendly. Whatever foodstuffs you're looking for, it's a good bet that Island Foods has it.

    We visited twice to pick up stuff to make dinner. Both times the service was so friendly!

Obviously it's more expensive than what you're used to back home as this is both an island and a tourist town, but that was to be expected.

    I wouldn't say this is the best or nicest Food Lion I've been inside, but it did the trick and had…read morethe essentials that we needed. They didn't have a large deli area with grab and go food items like I had hoped to find but we made due and got some cheese, chips and crackers, and some salad bagged mixes to have for lunch in our room before a nap. We did self checkout and had no issues.

    Something I learned quickly in Cape Charles: do you need food? Food Lion. Need toiletries? Food…read moreLion. Need makeup? Food Lion. Food Lion is the only grocery store of Cape Charles and basically the main hub for everything in the town. Cape Charles doesn't have a chain drug store like a CVS or Walgreens (which nearly made this city girl pass out), so for anything you need, you can count on going here. The makeup section is quite literally just a very slender few rows of items that's heavily picked over. But, again, this is a Food Lion. You're probably here for food (but if you forgot to pack something, pray to Jesus you can find something here to suffice). We purchased some groceries for our few days in Cape Charles and were able to find everything we needed, including a few housemade pasta salads and a fried chicken. The store is very organized and clean and surprisingly big for this tiny town. This grocery store will get you through your weekend trip the way it did for us!
