While on a trip to VA, we discovered via Foursquare a restaurant named Captain Chuck-a-Muck's Ship Store and Grill. When driving to the restaurant, we started to question our choice as the GPS was guiding us seemingly deeper into a neighborhood. Our growing rear was that we would soon be in the driveway of a guy named Chuck. However, it finally delivered us to a white creek side building with no road/parking lot facing windows. Again, we questioned our choice but decided to go ahead in and see what awaited us due to the good ratings on Urban Spoon.
As we entered the restaurant we were greeted by a friendly host named Mike and escorted to our seat in the form of a picnic table with benches and a paper table cloth that was crayon (or "crown" as the host pronounced it) friendly. Our waiter proceeded to explain the menu in surprisingly good detail and flourish. It was lunch so went with pretty simple orders: a basket of hush puppies for the table as an appetizer, fish tacos for Emily (mahi mahi), fried shrimp for Colin, chicken tenders for Killian and a crab cake sandwich for me. While perusing the menu, we realized that the restaurant had been featured a some point on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives which was kind of neat. We also noticed outdoor seating that would be fun on a warmer day.
We all enjoyed our food and the ambiance of the restaurant and would definitely recommend it to any passers by. Following our meal we stopped by the gift shop (a different but nearby building) and perused the wares. They had everything from souvenir shirts to candy to furniture. We ended up leaving with a couple of shirts for the boys. All told, we'll definitely make another visit there on a future trip to VA.
Following the departure, we were guided though several back roads en route to home and made a pass through downtown Suffolk as a result. What a neat little Main St. run! We even picked up some geocaches in the area.
