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.

    We celebrated New Year’s a couple days late. Shea was our server. He was fantastic. The grouper special was delicious. We ended the night with caramel apple cheesecake. The entire night was a 10/10!

    We always love eating at Chesapeaks! Went for a birthday celebration with friends. Everything was great except for the main course. It was dry and tough and I'm talking about fish! We reported it to the server. Here comes the manager who remade our meal, then comped it and 2 desserts. The replacement meal was much better and we appreciate Chesapeaks for salvaging our meal and celebration! Thank you

    Food was good, service was good , if the location had better view/scenery they would probably sell out nightly.

    Chesapeake's is my favorite restaurant in Knoxville, but this visit was definitely not up to the usual high standards. We ordered a filet and lobster tail. The lobster tail was perfect and a fair size. The steak was bloody and had been ordered medium well-so had to be sent back. The other entree was a ribeye which was perfectly done to order. The service was excellent as always. For dessert we shared the holiday special butter cake. No exaggerating it tasted just like a fat pancake with maple syrup and all. No buttery tender inside with a crusty brown buttered outside like we'd hoped for. They were extremely busy which may be why things weren't as perfect as normal. But ofc we'll be back bc 1 time out of 10 isn't bad. Probably just a fluke due to the busy holiday season.

    Benny Gibbs our waiter was the best. We will return because of him. Grits have too much smoke flavoring in them.

    We were not told this was a buffet when we made the reservation. We still chose to eat there and the food wasn’t great. The prime rib, especially, was not good.

    For Christmas, they do buffet service. I wasn’t aware of this and had doubts. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The food was superb, and I loved the fact that I was able to eat so many different kinds of food. It was a terrific experience. I can’t wait to return. The crab cakes are the best by the way.
