Seafood experts know that the best catch often comes from a local hole-in-the-wall establishment. Here in Virginia, we’ve got our very own Seafood Shack and it promises the best lunch in Virginia. Located in a tiny town called Nassawadox, the Great Machipongo Clam Shack offers fresh clams, oysters, shrimp, and more. Whether you’re shopping for dinner or stopping for a quick lunch, you’ll be glad you visited.

The Great Machipongo Clam Shack is an unassuming cafe tucked away on Virginia's beautiful Eastern Shore.
