The staff are very courteous. The atmosphere is pleasantly "beachy.". They have custom milkshakes to order and from what I could see (I did not partake) the banana splits were a two man job to finish. (And I am a rather large person, so take that FWIW.). The crab cake sandwich was a decent 3.5 out of 5. The fried shrimp was also typical fare and the pizza is about what you'd expect from a beach shack. The true heroes were the flounder basket and I was lucky enough to get the fried oyster basket. I give the flounder a solid 4 out of 5 and the fried oysters a 4.5 out of 5. They were perfectly cooked and not overly breaded with cornmeal. (I should have asked for some tobasco, but that didn't stop me from eating two servings.). Oh, and I had to ask for the oysters, they were not on the dinner menu.
French fries come with about every basket meal and they are nice and crisp, but you can swap out for hush puppies. Get the hush puppies!
Their breakfasts are no joke either. The servings are enough for two. Suggest the french toast or the pancakes with a side of bacon. Either comes with a personal hash brown serving. You can also opt for a breakfast platter with: 2 eggs any style, a hash brown serving, toast, and your choice of breakfast meat. Each breakfast option was well money well spent!
The cafe also has habitat controlled bathrooms for him and her, and a pleasant lounge area with accompanying Television to keep you busy while waiting...
Read moreStayed at Cherrystone from July 5th through the 9th during our visits to the little neck cafe we experienced the following issues:
Our first visit was for ice cream and my son has Celiac desiese and can’t even have traces of Gluten in his food. When asking the server if the ice cream was gluten free they were unable to tell me. When I asked to look at the ingredients they said they couldn’t because there was no manager on duty.
Second time we went for dinner and again the same issues we asked for my sons burger to be cooked on a cleaned surface and no bun and asked for a lettuce wrap. The server just looked at us and said she couldn’t do that. Once I asked to speak to the cook I was able to explain it to them. After paying over 80 dollars for diner style food the food was not 80 dollar quality but rather would have received a better food at McDonalds for a fraction of the price.
Finally the last day we thought we would try the breakfast as we were leaving however when we arrived they told us they would not be taking orders for 20 minutes because they were unable to keep up with the orders and the kitchen was overwhelmed.
This has never happened in years past and it’s seems to be a new trend , in the entire campground, with the current new ownership.
Most likely will be seeking a new campground with a focus on family and not profits. (Like...
Read moreWe absolutely love Cherrystone but the cafe’ is absolutely not worth your time.
We ordered 2 10” personal pizzas. When we got them back to our room they are tiny. We measure and they’re both 7”.
When I pay for a 10” pizza that’s what I expect to get. My husband said something to them about it and they didn’t offer anything to fix the pizzas. I tried calling up there and it’s just the same staff that was in there so there’s nobody there to contact to rectify the issue.
There’s no email for me to send the picture of the pizzas to so I basically just wasted my money on something that isn’t at all the size it’s specifically described to be on their menu.
I’ve worked in the food and service industry for many years and this is not how customers should receive their food and there should always be contacts in place to reach someone who can fix the issue instead of trying to handle service issues with a teenager working a front counter who doesn’t know what to do in...
