Beach Market

Came here with my best friend on the way back to Hampton Roads after a brief overnight trip to Cape Charles. It's a quaint little shop where you can buy fresh seafood, groceries, as well as different pastries and other dishes at the deli counter. I was originally in the mood for an Italian sandwich, but after speaking with the employee working the counter, I got a Shrimo Po' Boy because he said "The way we make em here, you won't find anywhere else." After one bite, I realized exactly what he meant; the shrimp were so fresh that I just knew they were caught straight out of the Cheseapeake Bay that same morning. I was also a fan of the thinly sliced French fries. I got a lemon square to eat after my sandwich, and it was also so good that I grabbed a slice of rainbow cake to go. The rainbow cake was good, but a tad dry, so definitely go for the lemon square if you're looking for a dessert here. All in all, the beach market is a great stop for anybody looking for a quick bite to eat or to support a local grocer in Cape Charles.

We really enjoyed the fried oyster basket, fried shrimp basket and oysters on the half shell. Everything tasted fresh and was well seasoned. The fries in both baskets were delicious and the fried oysters and shrimp were flavorful and well cooked. The service was friendly and helpful and the market and dining area were all very clean and organized. We will definitely go back next time we visit Cape Charles and I recommend you do too.

The food was over priced and not very flavorful. My ribeye sandwich was not made per my order. I was refunded the ribeye sandwich but not the other subpar sandwich. We will not return. This might be an off day for the establishment so I'd suggest to try it yourself.I am just sharing my experience.

This market just opened up. I have watched it develop for a little over a year now. I'm so happy it is up and running. Parking is easy. Upon entering I could already tell it had a high end vibe to it. Things were a little on the expensive side, depending on what you got. I did notice a small line developing to order sandwiches. I did not hop on that train this time. I was craving Cravings sandwiches further in town. The meat selection looked pretty good, expensive but they were prime cuts of meat. The cashier was polite and helpful. I do follow this business on social media and I am loving what I see. A seafood boil! Yum! Everything you need to have a great seafood boil, provided by them.

Very nice market, customer service was amazing! I will definitely be back to get some wine.

I confess, we pretty much came here for our seafood fix nearly everyday of the week. There are a bunch of unique drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), snacks, and seafood options (that can be broiled or steamed). Kish (the chef- I hope I didn't botch the spelling of her name too badly) excellently prepared our food with the right amount of seasoning and care. We are absolute fans of her soups and stews too! She is an absolute gem of a cook. Howard was also a great help in arranging our larger orders and answered any questions we had. We only wished that the soups were a bit more abundant. Understandably, supply chains continue to be a challenge these days, so be aware certain items can be sold out and are not restocked for at least a few days. While we are sad to leave this budding business to go back home for the season, we can't wait to come back to see what it has in-store when we return!

Have read a lot of reviews on this place, a lot of people comment on being overpriced, which I guess is true, but if a place has good food and good service, wouldn't even have had a problem with that. However, that was not our issue. Our issue was more with the organization and service. We ordered a bagel and breakfast sandwich, unfortunately 40 minutes later, people that came in after us got their meal and then when we said something and they weren't even apologetic about the obvious mistake they made. It was more like oh we're sorry, do you want a refund. Didn't even try to make it right. A refund for the food we never got, after wasting all of that time is not considered reimbursement for what happened. They should've just made the sandwiches for us ASAP and then refunded the money as an apology for what happened. As an owner of multiple businesses in Virginia Beach, much heavier in customer service, they have a long way to go with running a successful business. Will not be returning.

We were looking forward to this Market for a very long time. BUT we are extremely disappointed because it is way, way, way overpriced!!! Yes, some, not all, of the food looks tempting but items are just too expensive! Better to pay the $18 to cross the bridge to Wegmans...much more selection and better value for the money. So sorry we feel this way because we prefer to support our local economy! Nobody who lives here full-time as we do will be surprised when the Beach Market folds.
