AJ's Bar & Grill

Cape Charles has a surprising amount of restaurants for such a little harbor town. And boy, did we pick the right place tonight! It's a little place with a big personality, and spectacular food.My husband and I first shared a dozen Laughing King oysters. They are a family-owned oyster farm on the Atlantic Coast. The farm states "Our oysters have a level of salinity that is high but not overwhelming, with a sweet, buttery flavor and a finish reminiscent of the open ocean.". A wonderful description and every bit true. They are harvested daily from the Chesapeake Bay. Some of the best oysters I have ever had. I kept the shells to use as nautical decor in my home.We then ordered bowls of chicken lemon orzo soup. Oh my goodness. Does my mother cook for AJ's??! If you are a soup lover, especially chicken, you must order this. The chicken was soft and extremely tasty, like roast chicken. Plenty of orzo, carrots, and some spinach as well. In a rich flavorful broth. A small pinch of buttery mozzarella cheese melted on top. Perfection.I ordered the pork ribeye. Yes, I said PORK. If you are a steak lover, this dish will turn you to pork. My goodness, meaty, buttery soft, and flavor galore. But not the geaviness of a steak. What a treat. The rice pilaf was good as well. The green beans were good, but a bit underdone. That is just personal preference, so no points taken away. They were, however, crisp and very fresh, as was everything.They had live music, which we also enjoyed. With the great atmosphere, the music, the food, and the friendly and efficient staff at AJ's, this was one great night out. If you are ever in Cape Charles, AJ's is a must.

Casual food and drink spot. Great service and very good food. Friendly atmosphere. Would visit again!

Had lunch here today and it was amazing! Our server could answer any question with ease and made us feel welcome like this was our living room. Delicious food and some local beers on tap that I had never heard of. Their waffle fries are the best I’ve ever had!

AJ's Bar and Grill is my go-to spot for fantastic food and a lively atmosphere! The menu is diverse and delicious, offering everything from mouthwatering burgers to fresh seafood dishes. The service is always friendly and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. The ambiance is perfect whether you're catching up with friends over drinks or enjoying a cozy dinner with family. Plus, the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. AJ's Bar and Grill truly delivers a top-notch dining experience, and I can't wait to return!

The best hamburger I’ve ever had in my life and that covers a lot of burgers. The fries were also delicious, as was the homemade ranch and burger sauce. It was an amazing lunch. If you are in Cape Charles, this place is a must.

First of all, our waitress was super wonderful and took very good care of us (4). 2 of us got the chicken flatbread special, 1 got wings and my wife got the grilled goat cheese sandwich and tomato basil soup...Waffle fries, fried pickles, and oyster Rockefeller. Everything was great well prepared and fresh. Oh, we love the atmosphere as well!We've been here several times and keep going back because it's always good and consistent.

We went there past 9 PM, hungry and craving for some good food, (I was craving a good burger)They did NOT disappoint at all.. service was on point had a great hazy IPA, AJ’s Smashed burgers, our friends got steak and cheese and a wedge salad with clam chowder soup and everyone left so happy and more than satisfied. Loved the service, everyone was so friendly. I highly recommend!

Just had the seated teriyaki tuna special. It was fantastic. Best meal I have had out in quite awhile. Our server Katie was awesome. Very friendly and attentive. Will be sure to eat here next time I am in town.
