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.

Food was excellent as per usual! Husband loved the seafood gumbo. Fried shrimp were perfect. Friends had fried scallops and pan seared Redfish, and said both were excellent. Server Reece was terrific, and even remembered my wine choice from a previous visit!

Our server, Brooke was outstanding. Cheerful, handled many tables and checked in on us several times to make sure everything was good. Clam chowder is the best!

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
