Tangier Island Restaurants

Waterfront Sandwich Shop

Located right at the end of the wharf where the boat docks, this restaurant features local seafood such as crab, soft shell, and clam fritter sandwiches. They also offer daily specials such as a deluxe turkey melt, cheeseburger, or other unique sandwiches, and they also create some of the most delicious deserts you'll find on the island. So enjoy good food, bay breezes, and the best view in town. You'll get a bird's eye view of the watermen fueling up and their comings and goings while you enjoy your lunch.

Channel Marker Restaurant

Just take the path from the dock to the first street, turn right and you'll be at a restaurant that features a varied menu with something for everyone, from sandwiches, soups and salads to land-lovers specials. The restaurant specialties however are Chesapeake Bay seafood, including steamed crabs, shrimp, clams and more.

Fisherman's Corner Restaurant

A short walk from the boat dock, this restaurant was featured in the May 2005 issue of Southern Living Magazine. Enjoy some of the best seafood on the island and savor the hot crab dip or feast on a medley of Chesapeake Bay seafood - filet of flounder, soft shell crab, crab cake, scallops, oyster clam strips, and shrimp. But the menu offers a wide variety of different local seafood recipes and other entrees to delight the palate.

Hilda Crockett's Chesapeake House

This well known restaurant serves a family style, all-u-can-eat meal, featuring Chesapeake Bay crab cakes, clam fritters, and Virginia baked ham. The vegetables include green beans, potato salad, coleslaw, apple sauce, pickled beets, and mouth-watering, delicious hot corn pudding. And all that is served with fresh, baked daily homemade rolls and butter pound cake. And the bowls of food keep coming until you tell the servers you are full. So blame yourself if you walk away hungry.

 

Lorrian's sandwich shop

 

When you exit the boat's dock, turn right and pass by the grocery store to your right. Then make a right down, that's where you'll find Lorrian's sanwich shop. Enjoy fresh crab cakes, soft crabs or fish. If you don't like seafood then maybe a sub or cheeseburger. Lorrian's is a local favorite spot for sitting and talking if you spend the night on Tangier Island.

 

Spanky's Ice Cream

 

After you have your lunch at one of the resturants, come by and tast some great Ice cream at Spanky's. Designed around a 1950's style ice cream parlor, Spanky's has the largest ice cream selection on the Island. Fully air conditioned, just right on a hot day

The crab cakes on Tangier were out of this world. I’m going back just to eat again.
