We were traveling for our honeymoon when we came across this gem. Waterfront seating. The waitress recommended the flounder. She said it was the best in the United States. We ordered it and she was right. The best!

A little extra research and a little extra driving off the main drag Hwy. 13 leads to the best places. Hot crab dip with french baguette slices was perfection. Tempura shrimp with horseradish dipping sauce was outstanding too. Service was fast and polite. We called...thirty minutes ahead of time for a reservation on Tuesday night and glad we did. They filled up fast. Views of boats, docks and egrets made for a great meal all the way around.More

My husband and I decided at the last minute to have dinner at the Island House Restaurant. I made a quick reservation (necessary on a Tuesday night!) and we were seated immediately upon arrival. I ordered the broiled sea scallops, and my husband had the...Chicken Bruschetta. Both meals were excellent. The scallops were sweet and tender, served with fresh green beans, a side salad and wonderful sweet potato biscuits. The chicken was tender and smothered in a delicious bruschetta sauce. The food was only surpassed by the excellent service! This restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the drive. Don't miss it if you're anywhere on the Eastern Shore of Virginia!More

Oyster po boy. Burgers, fish. Draft beers.Very good service. A drive through a quiet area brings you to this water front restaurant and marina. Good food, family friendly, dog friendly.

I took my wife there to celebrate her birthday. Service was matched my the outstanding quality of the seafood and drinks and the spectacular water view. This was truly a very memorable experience.

Delicious seafood with a great view of marsh. Sweet potato biscuits are an excellent start, salads were fresh and crisp and seafood fresh. Fried flounder was nice and lightly battered. Recommend for both view and food on an Eastern Shore visit.

My husband- I were recently on Va's Eastern Shore, staying near Onancock, but decided to have lunch at the Island house restaurant. It was delicious. The views are amazing as well. Wait staff attentive. Seating can be inside or out on deck. We elected.gor inside...due to wind. We had oysters as appetizers, some steamed & some raw. They were delicious.More

We were passing through and decided to try this restaurant. We were seated immediately. Our server, Jessica, was awesome and attentive. The sweet potato biscuits were delish. Hubs oysters were “excellent” and a generous portion! He loved the mashed potatoes and cole slaw too. I...had the Seafood Island House with cole slaw and green beans - also excellent.More

Wonderful view, delicious oysters and shrimp. Our waiter, Richard, was great. An excellent find while touring the Eastern Shore of Virgini.

Stopped on our way down to NC and loved it so much we stopped on our way back! The first time they had a crab bisque that was to die for (please can I have recipe!) We had oysters raw and fried that were so...tender, burgers that were perfectly made and fries that were so crunchy. Sweet tea was perfect as was deserts. I wish I brought home some of Becca’s blueberry island cake. But would really like that soup recipe! Will definitely go back if I’m ever down that way againMore

However, if the oysters or flounder served on the sandwiches were tasty, it was lost in the stale buns. Seafood served on dry buns accompanied with 1 piece lettuce and a thin slice of tomato. No cocktail or tarter sauce. We complained. Their response “...we’re sorry, we won’t serve the sandwiches this way again as they handed us the bill. What about the quality of our meal? No answer. We paid and left.More

I so want to give a better review, but can't do it in good conscience. We have been stopping here for about 15 years on our way from Connecticut to the Outer Banks, and we love the marshy, watery off-the-beaten-track setting and the simple, fresh...seafood. The prices have sky-rocketed, and OK, I won't blame them for that these days, but the food was really just average. $24 for one bland crab cake? My broiled scallops ($32) were such an odd texture and color that I wondered if they had gone under the broiler from frozen. To be fair, my husband did say that his fried flounder was fresh and delicious, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but at those prices everything should be great. We would still go back again because this is a special place, but we might sit at the bar and order appetizers and beers instead.More
