Stopped by for the 1st time today for a late lunch, while looking at sailboats. Crab cake with shrimp sliders were to die for! Lightly toasted bun with fat lump crab cakes & big tasty shrimp on top, with lettuce & tomato. One of the best cuke salads I've ever had. Also the crab & shrimp chowder was heavenly! Waitress was wonderful and very accommodating. Wish we lived closer! read more

The food and service here are great ! The Ruben is my favorite! You won't be disappointed! This home cooking! Price is very fair.

I'm usually nervous about places that have less than 4 stars but my grandmother wanted to come here and said it was good, so we went. I'm so glad we did. It wasn't fast, but everything we ate was worth the wait. My husband said he had one of the best fried flounder sandwiches he's ever had. I had the ribeye sandwich special and it made me sad but only because of the idea that it won't be there next time. Our server was taking care of everyone alone, but she balanced it all really well, somehow remembered everything, and did an incredible job. I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

The first time we ate there2 years ago, the place was packed and we had to wait to be seated. The food was well worth the wait. outstanding!! We went back last summer, no line, on a Saturday night, only 2 tables had customers. We should have known then. When our food came, I could not eat it. Everything that was supposed to be hot was cold and tasted terrible, like it came out of a frozen dinner. We will not be back for a 3rd trip. read more

I don't know what to write that will convince a non-believer. Just go. Menu is super duper. Staff is not only friendly, but has that bounce in their step that tells you they believe in this spot. Get a salad, or a dang duck prosciutto sandwich for cryin out loud. You won't be upset. I'd "guarantee" it, but what good would that do? read more

We were really looking forward to our visit, but unfortunately, the service experience was disappointing. Our server, Alicia, barely checked on our table throughout the meal. Some parties who arrived after us received attention and food before we did. We waited nearly an hour for our food, and at no point did Alicia come by to update us or offer refills. We ended up having to go to the bar ourselves just to get water. Good food can't make up for poor service, and sadly, this visit left a lot to be desired. I hope this feedback helps the management team improve the guest experience moving forward. read more

The service is excruciatingly slow! We waited an hour for cold mediocre food. They didn't bring our order together. Not a good experience for a place that wasn't crowed! read more

I have had food from the Galley twice now, both at a company function. BBQ chicken, bbq pork, baked beans, and coleslaw. in a word delicious. I look forward to next year's and hopefully we will get our food from the Galley again!! read more

Generous portions and reasonably priced. One of the few places open in January. Good local seafood, really good specials.

Food was tasty and the service was awesome!!! We had a party of eight and they really went out of their way to take care of us.

One of the few games in town, especially off season early in the week but won't return, if I can help it. I'm still waiting for my refund for the hair that came with my barbecue sandwich. read more

The galley has lost its luster . Great place to hang out with the local professional drinkers of Deltaville . The galley does not even serve a pound of shrimp anymore .... prices are high and quality is down . I attached a picture of a pound of shrimp from the Howard Dooley Cafe in Mathews in case you forgot what a 1lb.of Srimp looks like . Major fail on every level at the Galley . read more

The Galley - WHAT A POUND OF STEAM SHRIMP LOOKS LIKE - New American Near Me - Deltaville, Virginia

Rudest staff ever. Good Luck eating here if you are not local. Food better than Captain D's, but not much better than Mrs. Pauls from Food Lion. read more

In an area where lots of restaurants are closed for during the week, we were delighted to stumble upon The Galley for lunch. The steamed shrimp and fried shrimp were excellent and the sides (Cole slaw, macaroni salad, onion rings and butter beans) were super fresh and well prepared. The dessert was fantastic and shareable! read more

The Galley - Chocolate Tuxedo! - New American Near Me - Deltaville, Virginia

I am rating on a severe curve. I only give them a 1 because of the servers. The food is worse than school lunch. The special was spaghetti and meatballs over linguine. That alone should have been a clue. The meatballs were so over cooked they were burned an rock hard. The "sauce" looked like they opened a can of diced tomatoes and called it a day. It was so bad I had to say something. As I said, the wait staff was great. As a replacement, ordered grilled rockfish. It was so over cooked it was like rubber bands and smelled like rotten fish. Venture carefully, try an app before you commit to a meal. read more

Staff not friendly and food disappointing. The fish and chips used to be good before Covid19. We ordered fish and chips and got fish sticks and fries that taste like onion. I asked the waitress and she said the onion rings are fried in the same oil as the French fries. Yuck! read more

Good food. Service? Meh. The servers were more interested in sitting at one of the tables and texting their friends. The couple next to us sat for 20 minutes to get their drink orders, and that was only because the owner came around to see how their meal was. If you're not in a hurry, not looking for "atmosphere", and want some reasonably priced seafood, this place is pretty good. read more

We go here almost every Thursday for taco night. The shrimp and fish tacos are really good! My husband gets the steak tacos too. We get to-go because they're always slammed packed and it's a very small restaurant. We recently tried breakfast eat in and it was delicious and filling. Four stars because in our opinion the regular dinner such as seafood and steak was overpriced for the portion and a bit bland. read more

Mediocre food, terrible dessert but great service. Drinks were constantly refilled, food was brought out quickly, the servers really move to take care of everyone. That said... fried food was mediocre - hush puppies were good and fries are good. Fish and chips was just ok. Oysters and crab cake just ok. We had a chocolate lava cake which was terrible. Cheesecake was good but came out frozen. Lobster bisque was good. Probably won't be back. read more

A great little local spot for lunch! My chicken salad was spot on -- not too dry not too wet. My daughter gives the mashed potatoes a 5. I love the quaintness of this place. read more

Amazing food, great staff. The pulled pork platter galley style is amazing. Also sweet asian ginger wings are the best.

Great burger and great fries. Seafood platter was good. Hush puppies were a little too crunchy for my taste. I would definitely go back. Good service and good prices read more

Went in there over the weekend and it was not good, really not good. Only thing really edible was the lobster bisque. The servers were very loud behind the bar and I was not stop swatting at flies INSIDE. read more

The new owner- from Long Island - came in and changed everything. Smaller portions (significantly so), higher prices, terrible service, and - sadly - poor quality. It's sad. We won't be returning. read more

I had a terrible experience when my friends and I went for a late lunch on Saturday. I completely understand being busy on a holiday weekend and wanting to take a break between lunch and dinner shifts. Unfortunately we weren't told about this break until after we ordered our food. Our waitress was very abrupt, rude and delivered our food with a sourpuss look on her face. She acted like we were huge inconvenience. When another friend arrived later we had already warned her that she would not get any service after it was made clear that they were taking a break. The waitress did not even acknowledge her existence. I do want to thank the other waitress who came out and asked if she wanted or needed anything! read more

Went in at 5:15 and was served at 6:45. Waitress forgot to put in order snd lied about it and gave all kinds of excuses. From bar too busy to cooks are slow. Owner finally told truth that she didnt put order in by failing to push the final submit button. Food was good when finally came out. read more

We had a party of 14 and walked in as the power was coming back on after a wide spread outage so their computers were not up and running. They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. They said there would be a slight delay getting our food because of the computers but if there was, we didn't notice. Everyone enjoyed their food and the staff was very attentive and friendly. 2 of us ordered margaritas and thought they were made without tequila so we chugged them.... We were wrong... They had tequila. Good times. read more

The Galley is Deltaville- not fancy, so should you enjoy haute cuisine, deconstruction or anything precious- drive on. If you want simple fare- a bring the kids and grands kind of place, this is for you. The fried flounder is really good and tastes fresh. Have some hush puppies and come off the beach (bring a sweater - the a c works). read more

One of the nicest and friendliest bar/restaurant I have been to. The food is very plentiful and tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The price is more than fair. We will come here every time we are close. read more

We have had two good dinners here in the last two months. Smoked chicken is good; steamed shrimp even better. Service is sometimes rushed, depending on time, but it's a nice little gem in this small village. read more

Food was awesome and so was the service! Best steak and cheese sandwich I have ever had and it had more meat on it than bread!! Awesome fries awesome sweet tea. Keep up the good work! We need good eats in Deltaville!! read more

New ownership, decent food. Phone number: (804) 776-1019 Open Tuesday through Saturday.

Everything about this small country restaurant is average - the food, the service, & the atmosphere. We were a party of 4 couples and splitting the check took a act of Congress. read more

Great staff and good food! Love that it has a bar on the other half of the building so it makes it perfect for lunch or dinner with my family. read more

I was out of town and my daughter and I were looking for a quaint restaurant with good food in the area. The Galley was recommended to us by one of the locals. We walked into a door that the was the smoking room so unfortunately for me that was an immediate turn off. We were escorted to a non-smoking section... I ordered the fried oysters as I don't get them very often... they were average with a little too much breading. The side dish was cucumbers and tomatoes (very small portion size.) The hush puppies were the best part of my meal. My daughter ordered the club sandwich which she thought was very GOOD! Overall, an average place to eat. I would have preferred nicer for the money I spent. read more

New owners reopened the restaurant during the summer of 2017. First time in since it reopened. Won't be back. The place had 1 table occupied at 6:30 at night when we arrived-this should have been a tip off. The crab and lobster bisque was good but I judge based on the overall experience. I ordered the half rack of baby back ribs. They were able to figure a way to overcook one side of the ribs (to the point that they were dry) and totally under cook the other (almost red pork). The side of fries was cold as were the apples. That combined with the cost of the food made the experience less than memorable. Seems that they made up the prices of ber as they went. The menu indicated one thing, the server told me something else, and the bill reflected still a different price. It was not worth quibbling about but still....... My wife ordered the oysters and had a side of a sweet potato. The potato was not cooked and it was actually almost cold to the touch. She decided to just take it home and zap it in the microwave. read more

used to have the best barbecue sandwich around. now mediocre at best. service slow as molasses. with the restaraunr nearly empty, it took 45 minutes to get burger and fries. seems like the bar is the main attraction here now. read more
