    I was on business trip from Arizona and had been to this restaurant twice before dining tonight. We had a party of five. Josh was an awesome waiter. Excellent service.

    My grandson and I lunched at Chesapeake’s West Knoxville to celebrate his 11th birthday. The interior was beautiful and the service was excellent! My grandson ordered an entire lobster and cheese grits, then finished with the snickers cheesecake. I ordered the haddock with a side of baked creamed spinach. Everything was delicious and excellently prepared. The birthday luncheon was a huge success! Thank you Chesapeake’s!

    We enjoyed our dinner. The wait staff was helpful. However, it was loud and my 85 yo mother had difficulty hearing.

    We had the grouper special. Pricey at $39, but worth it. We arrived early and were seated early. Our server was very attentive

    Top 5 favorite restaurant. Great food and value for seafood lovers. Service is normally good to great and this time, wonderful. Too many fantastic dishes to name them all, but blackened scallops, Maryland Seafood salad, spinach Maria and fish specials are high on the list. There is a reason why this may be the busiest primarily seafood restaurant in town.
