Under previous ownership, the hallmarks of Richardson's were those of quality of food, preparation,…read moreand service with a 60's vibe that has been of secondary importance. My steak last night ($25.00) was full of gristle, and it was cut so thin that the expression "medium rare" could only have been meaningless to the chef. This problem cannot be resolved by sending the steak back, it is a problem that exists has resulted from the restaurant drifting toward "nostalgic family fun" and assistance with various fund raisers and away from quality food and preparation. I suggest that the owner buy the highest quality of food available with locally-sourced seafood, steaks, and poultry. Go easy on the "nostalgic family fun" theme and the emphasis on how perky members of your wait staff are. These are cheap currency.

We went for my best friends's wedding rehearsal dinner. We had about 13 people, which can already…read morebe difficult for a restaurant to prepare for. However, they were more than accommodating. Also, we booked the reservation for 7:30 PM and, even though they closed at 8 PM, they still graciously accepted my reservation and provided us with the most outstanding service. I ordered the low country skillet, which was like a seafood boil with sausage on top of cheesy grits with a side of green beans. It was delicious and hearty. I recommend ordering this dish, especially since our server deemed it as one of the restaurants signature dishes. I also had a glass of Malbec red wine, pair of quite nicely with my meal. One of the other guests ordered the corn dip, which had a side of pita chips to dip into. The corn dip was slightly thick and sweet, with a few slices of avocado sitting on top. Also delicious. Highly recommend this place if you are craving a New American cuisine with a southern twist.

I would have liked more crust on my scallops and the soba accompaniment was over cooked and I couldn't eat much of it. A gluey mush. Overall was OK and would return but order something else.

The fried chicken portion was huge - half a chicken basically. It was seasoned well (maybe a bit too salty but went well with turnip greens which weren't seasoned as well). The fried catfish was great - fish was delicious and not muddy tasting. My favorite sides would have to be the fried apples and the turnip greens, which were tender yet fresh.

It's a long drive into the middle of nowhere to a very charming beachfront town but it was a dreary and rainy day. We easily parked in the large gravel lot and walked inside and were immediately sat at a table by the water with a lovely view. Our waitress was prompt and super friendly. 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. It was a nice portion for an entree and was easily enough for both of us for a lighter lunch. Really delicious sweet tea so I took some to go. Small gift shop attached and tons of seating inside and expansive views of the water with a back wall of windows all around.

While walking along Mason Avenue, I made reservations at The Shanty, and it turned out to be a great choice. The restaurant is just a short stroll from the main shopping area, down by the docks. You can park for free along Mason Avenue or drive directly to The Shanty, which has its own parking lot. One of the highlights was enjoying fresh seafood on the open-air porch with beautiful waterfront views. The atmosphere was relaxed, charming, and perfectly summery. They also had plenty of options for the kids, including mac and cheese and chicken fingers, so everyone was happy. I ordered the fish tacos, while my mom enjoyed the seafood chowder and a wedge salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for after a day exploring Cape Charles. If you're visiting the area and looking for a casual waterfront meal with great seafood, a family-friendly menu, and a fun coastal vibe, The Shanty is definitely worth a visit.
