"Beyond fine seafood from the ocean and the bay, Metompkin is Roadfood par excellence: part of a community that loves and appreciates it, completely tuned in to local foodways, informal and friendly. Here is one very convincing piece of evidence that American regional food is alive and well and a joy to discover and to eat."
Michael Stern
"This is the one and only indoor table. It is possible to eat here, but most people use it as a place to wait while their seafood is being cooked. It is outfitted with paper towels, hot sauce, vinegar, a real estate guide and a bible."
Michael Stern
"Sign outside front door."
