    Creek side table was beautiful, food was awesome, only thing I didn’t like was the bar. Idk it was just small and everyone that sat there was eating food so it was damn near impossible to get a drink while waiting for a table. It was an annoying bar scene to say the least

    We enjoyed sitting by the river. The Stone Crabs 🦀 were absolutely incredible! My favorite “go to” for the best seafood options in town.

    The service was excellent. The winter mule was not as good as last time I went. The crème brûlée cheesecake was a scam. Just a regular cheesecake with some burn marks, no crème brûlée topping. Server was perfect

    ladies, your thoughts please ... A Perfect Dining Experience at Chesapeake’s My friends and I visited Gatlinburg for the weekend and, after hearing about Chesapeake’s reputation for quality, we decided to give it a try. With so many restaurants in town, we carefully chose this one—and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was smooth despite the busy Saturday night crowd, and the front-of-house team handled it effortlessly. We were seated right on time, and our server, Cassidy, greeted us promptly. It truly felt like the restaurant knew we were coming and assigned us their best server! Cassidy was absolutely amazing. From the start, she made us feel welcome, offering appetizer and drink recommendations that were spot on. Throughout the meal, she was attentive without being intrusive, always present when we needed her. Her demeanor never changed—she was consistently pleasant, warm, and professional. We followed her dinner recommendations, and we were not disappointed. The lobster (both tails and whole) was phenomenal, and the filet mignon melted in our mouths. The entire experience was top-notch. We made sure to share our praise with the manager, Angie, who was genuinely happy to hear our feedback. Chesapeake’s truly delivered a combination of amazing food and exceptional service—a rare and wonderful find. If we’re ever back in Gatlinburg, we will definitely return. Wish we could give 10 stars!

    Jason was a wonderful server. Food was great. The Gatlinburg location is much better than the Knoxville location.
