I've purchased everything from vegetables (best fresh corn I've ever bought) and berries to plants and flowers, coffee beans (amazing), breads and cookies, olive oil, cheese, frozen seafood and crab cakes, to canned goods. And their goats are adorable. Whenever I come here, I always discover something new. I am so thankful they made the decision to establish their business here and support the community. Operating a small, family-owned business in a seasonal economy, in all kinds of weather, takes enormous effort and I appreciate their dedication.

A small store at the end of a strip of shops right off the main drag of Maddox Boulevard…read more The name says it all: House of Jerky. You walk in and it's literally wall-to-wall of displays of jerky. Anything you could want - simple dried, marinated, sweet, spicy, whimsical flavor - they have it. Any meat you want - they have it. While it is mostly your standard beef or pork, they also have a section dedicated to "exotics" such as camel or python jerky. They even have some seafood jerky options. I have had meatless jerky (mushroom and/or seitan-based), but I didn't see any such options here. In addition to the jerky, there were a few other snack items like popcorn, nuts, and a small section of insect snacks. Such a singularly-focused store means customers move in and out quick, so there was only one staffer, and she greeted me when I walked in, then just went back to watching some TV show playing on the wall. They usually have two or three items available for sample, which she happily obliged when I requested. Prices are okay for a beach town. Many standard jerky options were around $14 for 4oz package, but some of the less conventional options were either smaller packages and/or higher in price. Watch out; this can add up quick! Overall, if you have a hankering for jerky, you can definitely find it here.

I wasn't anticipating stopping for jerky at a beach town, but here we are! I've been to a few…read morejerky shops in my travels and this place was pretty nice. Very small footprint, but it doesn't need to be huge. They have a lot of exotic meats, some of which I don't think I've ever seen in jerky form before (like python!). They are priced accordingly, though, with rarer options costing more than your typical beef. They do have some good deals though. The TV in the shop (why?) was tuned to Fox News. Look... I don't care where along the political spectrum you find yourself. Can't we turn this stuff off for vacation time? We went to Chincoteague to get AWAY from politics and news and all that jazz! Please just put on the Cooking channel or ESPN or DIY or something benign! You're a jerky shop... not the local political party headquarters. Anyway... We came away with some different kinds of jerky to try, mostly beef and turkey (I love turkey jerky!) and some interesting looking pork rinds (and cracklins!). I might try the deep fried peanuts next time. I've had them before... didn't expect them at a jerky joint... but I'm okay with that too! Overall, fun little shop. Won't take up much of your vacation time to stop on in and bring home something fun to snack on. Maybe you might even need it for the car ride back! Either way, it won't break your budget and it's a neat shop no matter how you look at it.

Being located along with a gasoline station/convenience store Wine Rack was a real surprise to me…read morebecause I've never seen this type of setup before and because Wine Rack is a rather classy place. They not only carry a really decent line of wines but have all sorts of snacks, many of high quality signature brands, to go along with their wines. While here I looked for a specific type of Italian wine from the Province of Verona I use to marinate steaks which they didn't carry, but a very pleasant helpful staff member came over and helped me located a most suitable substitute. As Wine Rack is kept spotlessly clean, totally orderly, has a good wine selection and a most pleasant staff, I'm a fan.

Adorable! Yelp reports that it is closed, which I think it was for a while, but it is now open…read more SO MANY SWEETS AND TREATS! We came here on a rainy weekday as an adventure and the kids had a blast. The whole front of the store has big tubs of bulk candy, and you can fill up your bag with whatever kinds you want for a bulk price (less than $7). Get a bag from the front and a scoop from the counter. Gummies, sour candy, chocolate, gum, old school candy, salt water taffy...so much to choose from! They also have several counters of specialty chocolates like nonpareils and truffles and fudge and chocolate covered pretzels. There is toy-based candy too, like yo-yos filled with candy, dinosaur spinners with candy, stuffed animals you can fill with bulk candy, etc. And so many toys! Any kind of stuffed pony you can imagine, as well as Ty stuffed toys, purses, all the squishy toys, etc. They have tshirts, hats, sweatshirts, onesies, etc. And a selection of other gifts like jewelry and goat milk soaps/lotions, slippers, etc. We easily spent an hour there looking at everything then as the kids filled their bags.

We will stop here on the way out of town to get some salt water Taffy as it is a requirement to bring Taffy home.

There is also a railroad museum with a self-guided walk through of various train cars. There is a restaurant next door as well but we didn't try that.
