CHESAPEAKE'S REVIEWS

I drive an hour and a half one way to eat here, to eat their fresh Maine lobster. I will never have anything badly to say about my favorite restaurant in Knoxville, TN. Tonight we have ordered, a small lobster served with Nevus potato side and a fried seafood platter with green beans Almondine side. Haven't ordered dessert yet.......better save room.

Food was delicious!! Dinner was still great even though we came in pretty late. John Michael was awesome.

Considering that you normally find great seafood on the coast, this jewels food was fantastic. First time eating at Chesapeake, and I will definitely be getting the word out.

RED LOBSTER KNOXVILLE REVIEWS

We had Sherry as our server. She was the best waitress I’ve had in a very long time. She was attentive and made menu suggestions. Our drinks were always full. She was very nice and personable. While me and my boyfriend were praying before our meal she was going to refill our drinks, and she stood in the corner and waiting until we were finished with pitcher in hand. Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time.

Alma was a wonderful server today! She made sure we had everything we needed and the appetizer came out hot and we had our drinks filled throughout the meal. We didn't have to ask for a thing. We enjoyed the lobsterfest build your own 3.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s off the charts, look no further! Ask for Kat! She is an absolute superstar server who made our meal unforgettable. The food was delicious, and her attentive care was truly impressive. We left with happy bellies and smiles on our faces! Kat, thank you for your exceptional service that added that extra joy to our day, you made our lunch special! Can’t wait to come back for more delightful dishes and stellar service! Thank you so much.

STORMING CRAB REVIEWS

You get a huge amount of food in their boils. Everything was cooked really well and the seasoning is on point. The Cajun butter and the Old Bay/butter are really good and the heat level can be picked, the medium is not very spicy. The seafood bread is worth the visit just by itself.

The seafood boil was absolutely delicious and service was top notch! We had a great lunch and our server Jalia was wonderful. She was extremely nice, attentive and knew the menu well. Thank you guys for the food and experience.

Fantastic. Huge portions and decent prices, I believe, the change and correlate depending on the market. Head on shrimp were some of the best shrimp I've ever had. Highly reccomend.
