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.

    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.

    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.

    This review is for the Christmas buffet. It was 50 dollars a person and the place was packed with people. Lots of variety of food but like any buffet some of it was lukewarm and lacking taste. Do not get me wrong as a normal dinner is very good but this was a different experience. I am glad o go back when it is regular table service and menu. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
