The decor was so cute The shop is small, you can eat inside, but I am sure it does become crowded. There is a bench outside the shop. There is the cutest cow bench as well inside. When we walked in we order quick. I got a strawberry milkshake to try and share, the reeses pieces ice cream and at the last minute I noticed "wooder" ice! Good ol Philadelphia treat. I highly recommend getting the water ice, I enjoyed the cotton candy flavor. They did have cherry,, and mango flavors as well. Not that reeses flavor was sooooo good. It had great peanut butter flavor with a few reeses pieces to enjoy. The strawberry shake had chunks of strawberries in it and the cup was laced with strawberry syrup/sauce. The two employees working when I was there were a lot of fun. They helped guide us on their flavors. They put in a lot of effort to make my strawberry shake look and taste yummy.

The vibe at Cowlick's, however, was totally different. As soon as I walked into the busy shop I was warmly greeted and I saw the employees smiling and engaging with customers. The shop is bright, well-lit and colorful. They have a segmented overhead menu for their traditional ice cream and for the plant-based ice cream, which is clearly labeled and easy to read. I got the plant-based Cookies & Cream and my husband got their award-winning Carmel Cookie Butter flavor. We had great, friendly service and a smooth order process. This was my first time in a Cowlick's shop and I love that they give you a waffle cone chip with your order! I love waffle cones but usually opt for the cup because it's less expensive and less messy, but this was the best of both worlds with the waffle cone chip! The plant-based Cookies & Cream is made from pea protein and was rich, creamy, and delicious! My husband also enjoyed his Carmel Cookie Butter. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I'm looking forward to coming back again next time!

Everything is always so solidly executed - the milk chocolate an vanilla are great, and their special flavors (though IGNORE what's on their website - I got myself so psyched about what was listed as their flavors of the day on their website only to find out that what was at the store was a completely different list) are SO GOOD. The banana pudding tastes like fresh bananas (which is impressive to pull off with ice cream), and the black raspberry is groan-worthy good. Be prepared to wait. Play a game, talk to a friend...it's worth it.

Never been to an ice cream shop that felt like an exclusive club. While visiting Cape Charles for…read morethe first time two weeks ago, I stopped by Brown Dog Ice Cream since I wanted a dessert following dinner and saw a lot of people walking down the street with their ice cream cones and they had solid reviews. The shop isn't brightly lit, it's on the dim side, and you need to walk to the back of the shop to start your order. I came towards the end of the day and it wasn't crowded--there was one other person in line--but despite this and the long walk to the end of the shop I wasn't greeted by any of the staff. When I got to the start of the order line I was the only one in it and I looked at the overhead menu for some plant-based ice cream (google stated that Brown Dog Ice Cream carries plant-based ice cream options), there was an employee standing there who saw me standing in line and search the menu but didn't greet me or ask if I was ready to order--then I made eye contact with her to make sure she saw me obviously standing there and she STILL said nothing to me. Fortunately, there was another employee who came over and acknowledged me and kindly asked how she could help me. I let her know I was looking on the menu for plant-based ice cream but hadn't seen it. She let me know that Brown Dog does serve plant-based ice cream options but only in the summer months. I thanked her for her help and walked out. Because of the cold-shoulder I received when walking in and from the first employee, I won't be coming back for the summer plant-based options. I hope management hosts a training with all of their staff on how to treat people that walk into their shop...you kindly greet people when they walk in and when they are next in line, you greet them and ask how you can help them. Hopefully this improves.

When we stopped in around 6pm on a Friday there was no one here and the friendly and patient lady serving the goods was happy to answer questions about flavors and menus and after much back and forth my husband and I chose two flavors to swirl into one cup together: a coffee cappuccino flavor and black cherry. It was SO good! Large portion in a cup - easily enough for two people to share and price is fair at around $4.50. We liked it so much we came back again after dinner the next night, just as good, same friendly lady, same wonderful service. This is an easygoing, no-nonsense spot with cute seating outside and some great flavor combos as well as some other items. They have a cold brew coffee soft serve, as well as a Madison mud-pie looking brownie cup. YUM! Some sprinkle cones and other items are also options if you want to add more to your order! This is going to be a staple of my visits to CC from now on!

Here's a polished version of your review: I spent the day in…read moreCape Charles with my family and wanted to find a place that offered some local fare. 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.

The Shanty is not a large restaurant, but it has an amazing bar and great views from their deck on the bay. The service was great and our server created a "no rush" just sit back and relax vibe, even though they were busy. The drink menu has a nice selection of cocktails. My wife, an orange crush connoisseur, said the Shanty's crush was very good! They also have a nice beer selection including local area craft beers. The Frogman Lager on the menu has been one of my favorites when I visit VA, so it was nice to see on the menu. We started off with a 1/2 dozen local oyster, which were nice and sweet. The crab dip was amazing and full of crab! We split the shrimp Po-boy. The sandwich was loaded with plump tasty shrimp on an amazing roll. Typically, in beach towns the shrimp Po-boys are skimpy on the shrimp, but not at the Shanty. Overall, a great visit and a place we'd return.

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!
