Island House Restaurant

Here's the key to enjoying Island House Restaurant:  Find Wachapreague, VA!!

Once you've made the journey, you can enjoy simple Eastern Shore "Traditional" dining at it's best.  The building is nestled in the small marina village, and most of the patrons seem to be locals, stepping out on the town.  I was afraid of a nursing home type menu, but, was stunned at the freshness...and flavor of the fare.

Being in VA, every establishment crows about crab cakes, but, Island House is the real deal.  I must say, it's the freshest, best tasting crab meat I've had to date, in the state.  The veggies were also cooked without removing the desired crispness.

From the fine food, to the scenic views, IH is worth a stop when traveling the Eastern Shore Hwy...

Get the crab cakes.  I tried both broiled and fried and while very good, the broiled was better.

My wife loved her island Mary, even though a hair was discovered in her first one. Otherwise very clean.

Tried this place at the suggestion of a local. The place is right on the water with a beautiful serene view. The seafood was good, the fried shrimp lightly breaded not greasy and good. The crab cake was pretty good. The sweet potato biscuits are to die for. I will probably come again
