Taylor's Restaurant: since 1929
grandmaR Says: It seemed like this would be a perfect fit for us - a down home basic restaurant. The restaurant is a long low building on the street. Inside there is green oilcloth on the tables.The menu says (in part):Three things are synonymous with Deltaville - Fishing, Sailing and...
grandmaR Says: This was one of the pictures I took when I was walking around in Deltaville. I don't know anything about the business other than what I can see from the street - we don't drink coffee so we don't usually visit coffee shops.
Two Honey's Sno Shack: No Linen Napkins
grandmaR Says: I haven't eaten here as I think it was closed for the season. They advertise 32 flavors of shaved ice, pickles and chili cheese hot dogs.
Taylor's Restaurant and McWillie's are run by the same people and they are next door to each other. Actually you enter the door for Taylors and you have a choice - go left into the restaurant or right into McWillie's. I have not been to McWillies
The Taylor's menu says "In McWillie's you can enjoy your favorite libations while watching racing or your favorite sporting event. You will enhance your entertainment while feasting on succulent oysters or clams from the raw bar or hot steamed shrimp."
An ad for the opening says "Snow Crab Legs - All you Can Eat Wednesday $29.95" until 10 pm.

Jerry's Gallery: JERRY SPANGLER
grandmaR Says: While this shop was open when we walked by, we didn't go in. Actually, I'm not usually much interested in buying other people's art. I have too much of my own and can't even find places for it all on my walls, so I've gifted each of my children with one or more of my...
Yates House Fine Art and Craft Gallery: Set Back Off the Street
grandmaR Says: When we walked around Deltaville, I saw this sign, and thought at first that the little house that is past it was the Gallery. After I walked a little farther, I saw that the actual gallery is about a half block back off the street. I don't think it was open that late on a...

Deltaville Market: Provisioning in Deltaville
grandmaR Says: Deltaville is a nice little town less than a mile up the road from wherever you manage to land. They have a hardward store, grocery stores, a bank, and a post office and some restaurants. There are no stop lights, and few stop signs, no town squares, no cross crossing...
grandmaR Says: The dominent building on the Deltaville main street is the Philippi Christian Church (17276 General Puller Highway, P.O. Box 555, Deltaville VA 23043) so naturally I took a picture of it. The sign on the front says it was founded in 1871. The church is apparently a center of...

grandmaR Says: As we came into the Piankatank, we heard several other boats on the VHF radio who apparently were coming in to anchor in Jackson Creek. One of them told the other that Skipper Bob's book had several possible anchorages in it. Pay attention to the charts and put all the...
grandmaR Says: This is a dock in Jackson Creek which I thought was another marina. But looking at the chart I see that there isn't any other marina over there that I could have seen.I'll have to look up the town docks to see what the parameters of using them are.
152.6 MM on the Chesapeake - Broad Creek Marinas
grandmaR Says: On our trip down to Deltaville to see our friends in August 2000, we went into Broad Creek off the Rappahannock. The entrance was a little tricky and they talked us into it on the radio. We first went to the pumpout dock near the travel lift slip to have a pumpout. Getting...
grandmaR Says: There's a very good protected anchorage south of Deltaville off the Piankatank River. There are also some marinas and a yacht club along the shore. Stove Point neck is private homes which can watch both the sunrise to the east and the sunset to the west over the water. You...
Favorite thing: Deltaville is at the end of a long peninsula which ends at Stingray Point. Someone told me that they saw a flotilla of rays swimming along near the surface, so Stingray Point is appropriately named. Sadly, I have not seen this myself.
Deltaville is in a perfect position for boaters to get to the Chesapeake to sail or fish or engage in other water sports. There are marinas on both rivers. It has been known as the boat building capital of the Chesapeake.
Fondest memory: Our friends met us at the boat and took us to the West Marine store and we looked around the boatyards. Then we went to dinner in Gloucester.
