The Channel Marker
Current Rating:
Review:
If you ave every been to this island you know that everything is a short walk away from the airport. I think the Channel Marker is the largest restaurant on the island.
This Tangier Island Restaurant opened May 2004 under the ownership of Willie Crockett, a Tangier Island native. Actually Tangier Island boasts local Chesapeake Bay cuisine and the Channel Marker Restaurant and Gallery is no exception. The restaurant combines Tangier Island tradition with tastes of the island, cheery atmosphere of a local hangout combined with excellent foods

Jersey Mike's Subs
Current Rating:
Review:
It started back in 1956, in this actual storefront location and was originally called Mike's Subs. Mike opened the small shop in the sea-side town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. You have to remember that in 1956, there were very few franchise restaurants or hamburger chains. No chain pizza, chicken or taco restaurants, either. In 1956, proprietors or mom-and-pop businesses would open their stores in basic storefront locations like you see here. To survive and thrive, they had to offer exceptional quality products, coupled with unparalleled service.

King's Barbecue
Current Rating:
Review:
I love places like this. A typical local joint that hasn't changed in years. No ribs to be had, only chopped/sliced pork sandwiches and BBQ chicken. I had the sliced sandwich and the onion rings.
First off, this is the real deal. I saw the brick pit and the smoke pouring out of the chimney. They also chop/slice the pork right in front and the butts were suitably black from actual smoking.
