This place is an absolute gem and is run by a couple of really nice patrons. Â The first time we went to visit we perused the impressive variety of specialty items that you can't find on the rest of Chincoteague Island. Â Poseidon's Pantry is a very quaint, but well-kept store that packs in a great variety of items. Â We gawked at the Castelvetrano olives (a personal favorite), unique cheeses, snacks, hot sauces (a great selection) and beers. Â We don't drink, but we were fascinated by the beer selection, which was still quite impressive and worthy of a review by themselves. Â We didn't buy anything the first time, but took a lunch menu with us and began drooling over the gourmet, reasonably priced sandwich selections. Â
Here's a helpful hint--get a sandwich here and talk to the patrons--they are very friendly and they care what you think of their store. Â I made a point to say how much I loved the store on our first visit, and they remembered us when we came back the next day...but then something amazing happened that we are completely unaccustomed to in the DC area. Â When we came in, they said hello and asked us to give our opinion on a hummus the chef/patron had concocted. Â He was genuinely interested in our opinion and told us what he made, how he made it, etc. Â It was delicious hummus, but the perceived concern over our delicate palates was quite an experience--and we felt very welcome as a result. Â Oh, and the pimento cheese they make is the BEST I have ever tasted--but don't tell my mother I said that. Â They make it with jack cheese and it has a subtle, albeit memorable kick to the mouth. Â We were in love, picked up some olives, crackers, and got a club sandwich that is special because they use special aged/smoked bacon from a local outfit off the island. Â It was delicious. Â
If you are in Chincoteague Island for a vacation or just passing through, please stop here and talk to the patrons...the conversation is as appealing as the items they sell, and then some. Â It's a wonderful place to just wander or pick up those items you love to take to the beach for a picnic. Â This deserves an excellent rating, but I'd gladly give it higher praise if possible.
what a special place! a real fresh find among all of the outdated places to eat on the island. not sure what we would have eaten if it wasn't for this place --- great sandwiches (artfully prepared with fresh ingredients), yummy creative beach snacks and refreshing drinks. wonderful staff. you can't really ask for much more!
Review Source:Mmmm... Roast Beast is yummy! This place was so good we actually ended up going three times in our 4 day stay. The Roast Beast is delicious. They roast their own beef and turkeys for the sandwiches. I also got a BLT but didn't like it as much as the Beast, not that it was bad by any means but it was a panini and I didn't really read the menu to know that so it wasn't what I was expecting, a cold sandwich. The tomato relish that they use instead of sliced tomatoes is really tasty. They made a regular PBJ for our daughter upon request.
Anyway, if you're looking for a good sandwich, this is the place. Friendly service too.
What an excellent addition to Chincoteague Island. Yes you can get great seafood and BBQ on the island, but now they have a great deli. All the grocery items are so unique, after all the main store on the island is so meh. So shopping here is so much a pleasure.
Then we have the sandwiches. So good! Great choices and well presented. Total quality. Took a selection to the beach for our picnic and the family loved them.
The owners were fantastic and welcoming, total customer service. Cool couple in a great business.
Absolutely amazing! Mom and Pop Deli/Gourmet Grocery store. Lots of hard to find goodies, a wide selection of high quality and delicious foods, from pickles to potato chips to sodas and sandwiches. I bet you cant find another place like it nearby! Highly  suggested. Super quick and friendly service. Fresh sliced cold cuts, and even delicious vegetarian options. A must while staying in Chincoteague.
Review Source:This place is AMAZING... I repeat - AMAZING!
My partner has a gluten allergy, and this market and deli saved our lives. They carry all kinds of organic and healthy foods, and also have gluten free products. Not only do they have great sandwiches, but they also have a great selection of wines and cheeses. We were in Chincoteague for 3 days, and went to Poseidon's 3 times.
The deli carries Udi's gluten free bread, so that is a definite plus. The owner even gave us a small discount because the GF bread is a little smaller - so kind. I also tried the chili dog, and the homemade chili stole the show. Really loved the flavor.
