An early dinner here with 2 of my 3 brothers was fabulous! Apps of shucked oysters and crab bisque were excellent. Extremely meaty bisque was the best ever! Entrees of fried oyster platters and the day's special, broiled fresh rockfish with panko and parmesan pictured here, were spot on. Service provided by Holly was friendly, cheerful, efficient and informative. And, by the way, we were Holly's first customers since starting at AJ's! Lucky us!

Sat in bar, waited 10 minutes after we sat down to get greated, and get a drink. No music playing. Not very friendly.

Admittedly we dined during what might have been a fixed menu - Valentine's Day menu, but the selection seemed quite limited. The food was delivered timely, hot, and very good. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. I couldn't quite get what they were going for as far as atmosphere, shabby chic, rustic, country minimalism, etc. but I think they missed an opportunity to create an appealing visual experience - a feral cat lounged in the sun right outside my window on a poorly maintained patio. All and all, not a bad experience at all, but just a little disappointed in what was so highly recommended.

It was love at first sight when I went inside this restaurant. I can tell a lot of thought and love went into its remodel. Modern but cozy but still respecting some of the older fixtures - like names of patrons from a bygone era carved into the original bar top. The food was pretty good. The Moscow mule was delicious. The service was top notch. So friendly. I wish it were open year round.

We have a New Year's Eve court, four course dinner special. Everything was very tasty and cooked just right. The prices for the wine were very reasonable and service was very prompt.

We had the pleasure of dining last night at one of our favorite island spots AJs on the Creek. Along with the excellent filet, we tried the mussels in marinara sauce and the rock fish special. All was cooked perfectly and well seasoned and that mussels in marinara oh my, so delicious. Best my husband has ever had! And that is saying a lot!!!

One of the better fine-dining restaurants on the Island. Food is great with good selections and food properly made. I enjoy coming here and will continue to do so when I visit.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian choice today is a tortellini pasta, but unlike most restaurants who do vegetarian options as a after-thought, AJ’s version actually has flavor and texture! It’s not an over-boiled tasteless mush.

We ordered the rockfish and it was delicious! Server was great and price for what you got was fair.

A little pretentious for me. If you are looking for an experience and and cost and portion size aren't a factor then this is for you.

I loved the menu variety and obvious attention to freshness & detail. I ordered the scallops piccata, which were delicious. I had the winter squash blend (which was served like a mash) which was something I have never had and it was amazing. I also had the braised greens. Setting & service were delightful.

Food is very good indeed. We had scallop Caesar salad and broiled scallops with a half dozen raw oysters to start. Everything was delicious, best tasting oysters we had on the island. Prices are a high though and the restaurant was weirdly cold inside.

The view was lovely and our server was great but the food... was absolutely delicious. It's rare that I love everything that's ordered and every bite. The cream of crab with good sized pieces of fresh juicy crab. I sopped up the last of it with the warm buttered bread and could have enjoyed just that for a meal it was so tasty. The sea scallops seared to absolute melt-in-your-mouth perfection. I stole a couple from my companion's dinner and added them to my delicious baked Mac-n-cheese, which I'm pretty certain was the best mac-n-cheese I've ever had. Then My jumbo butterfly coconut shrimp with a def homemade-from-scratch mango chutney that was so fresh and Delicious tasting! I took three of them to go in a doggy bag and they didn't survive the car ride home. Everything was cooked to perfect temps and I felt it was all made with great care and attention to make everything simply delicious. Thank you for making every bite enjoyable, it was the best meal I've had in a very long time. And for such quality food, I think they're reasonably priced too! I wish so badly there was a restaurant near me that served such great food; I doubt I'd ever dine out anywhere else! What I'd give for that cream of crab soup rn... Or the scallops.. ? Can't wait to visit again and try more dishes.

We have eaten here several times and always order the crab soup, cup or bowl. The crab cakes are almost 100% crab with just enough filler to hold them together. I get these broiled. Fried oysters are very good and the coffee martini is a wonderful dessert.

We ate 2 dinners out of 3 evenings in Chincoteague. We were SUPER impressed with the quality and wonderful entrees, especially the rock fish with a citrus butter sauce. We asked the server about the training of the chef and she offered to have him come out to talk to us. He was gracious, friendly and very modest about his skills. His cuisine and presentation of food really impressed us "foodies!" Highly recommend the restaurant, it's servers and chef!
