A delicious dinner, beautifully presented and professionally served as always by Ken. If you are looking for a truly Gourmet meal on Chincoteague Island, the Channel Bass is the place to go. A lovely wine list as well. My family from out of town really enjoyed their meal. We will be back!

This is a wonderful place with excellent food. The restaurant is small so you have lots of care from your servers. The owner is often out and about and loves what he does.

The food at the Channel Bass Inn restaurant is always superb. I had steak and it is always cooked perfection. The potato soup was loaded with potatoes and cream. The shrimp cocktail and crab cake, appetizer or fabulous. The salad had a champagne vinaigrette that was perfect. Oh, and that all of cake was out of this world. The atmosphere in the service was impeccable.

This place is a hidden gem! We have had a condo in Chincoteague since 2018 and driven past many times but have never eaten here! Our loss! Very classy and the waiters were fantastic, friendly and genuinely enjoyed talking with the customers. Did not feel rushed. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion. It was an enjoyable and memorable evening and we will definitely be back!!

As a huge fan of the Channel Bass Inn, it was incredible to be a part of their final tea party for their 2024 season. The food was amazing with great flavors. I highly recommend dining here on your next visit to Chincoteague.
