The food was excellent, Dawson was a great server. He recommended the crab hushpuppies, they were really good. We chose the broiled seafood with melted provolone.

While vacationing on Chincoteague Island, we had a wash out morning due to rain and high winds, so we pulled up a map and searched for a place to adventure to. We settled on driving down the coast to Wachapreague, which appeared to be a tiny fishing town. When we arrived, we went to the marina and stumbled upon The Island House. W ... read more

We stopped here en route to Md and very glad we did! We are native Marylanders returning home and Island House was a very welcome start. We were greeted by the hostess and taken to a table of the deck with a lovely view. It was a-bit windy, so we were the only ones out there. Perfection! We only wanted a light snack, so we had crab d ... read more

This place is well worth the detour off the Eastern Shore's main drag, Route 13, for a first-rate meal.
