Chesapeake’s West derives much of its authentic Eastern Shore qualities from décor that features genuine nautical antiques and artifacts. Pairing this cozy, seaside ambiance with welcoming service and fresh ingredients has made it the perfect spot for creating memorable moments.

As part of the Copper Cellar Family of Restaurants, we offer fresh seafood that’s sourced daily, local, handcrafted microbrews, an extensive wine list and prime-graded beef. We are known for live Maine lobster, Maryland Crab cakes, a variety of fresh fish, and assorted oyster selection.

Chesapeake’s features a raw bar, Sunday brunch, and happy hour in the bar/lounge. Full menus — including gluten free options are available and can be enjoyed on our patio. Free onsite parking and a courtesy shuttle is available for local hotels.

Whether you come for the food, the drinks, or the atmosphere, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.

Buffet only on Easter, Mother's & Father's Days, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It was my wife’s and my anniversary and I was expecting a wonderful experience. It fell far short. My grilled oyster was so salty that I could hardly eat it. I could have used refills on water and bread and the waitress never asked me for them. And what little we ordered was still expensive, so not good value. We have been good customers here over the years and this was the worst experience that we have had so far. I believe that this will probably be the last time that we dine here.

Our party of 4 had 4 different entrees and they all were excellent! Blackened redfish was particularly good! Our server, Natalie, was excellent and very efficient! Experience couldn’t have been better.

The food was very good however our server, a young white female, left a lot to be desired. She was nof attentive and gave off the vibe she did not like her job. When you spend over $200 for a meal for 3 people, I think good service should go without saying.

I know we are having a heat wave, and with the big glass windows it’s hard to cool, but it was in the mid 80s inside and I was sleeveless. Still hot… The food was, always delicious, except for the salty seafood platter. The oysters on the half shell with the best part of the meal, says the boyfriend. Our server, Chris, was a delight. You can always count on Chesapeake’s to have quality servers! I would love a new margarita recipe without orange juice, too. Fingers crossed. See you soon, Chesapeake’s!

It's been some time since I've been to this Chesapeake's, entirely related to the service. Downtown is much better. We had to be in that area for another reason, and I thought I'd take a chance, and they didn't fail to disappoint. The food is always good. The service is always bad. Do yourself a favor, go downtown if you're going to Chesapeake's.

We usually love Chesapeakes but we were unaware on this day of the buffet only dining and were not at all pleased with this as the only option and the food was not that good.

I usually love Chesapeake’s restaurant but was not to thrilled with the food on Father’s Day. We went to the west Knoxville restaurant because we had not been before and wanted to try it. Still like the one downtown better.

Did not realize it was going to be a Buffett only at 50$/person. Ran out of food items, food not even warm in most instances. Very disappointed as we love Chesapeakes usually.
