Chesapeake's Seafood Restaurant 9630 Parkside Drive, Knoxville, TN 37922

"Wow! Don’t hesitate, just go! This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was excellent and even the greeter was kind at the front door. I highly recommend the crab claws both fried and grilled as they were excellent. We also love the different oysters and they were huge and fresh. The shrimp scampi was absolutely amazing. We also love the crabcakes. They also have a lot of different interesting sides that I have never tried like the spicy spinach, macaroni and cheese and it was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend going to this location unlike the one downtown it is open for lunch… Even late lunch because it does not close during the day. We will definitely return on our next visit."

"My mom grew up in Baltimore, so whenever we went back to visit we would have crabs and crab cakes. I like crab cakes, but don't love them. I now love them. The one that came on the Broiled Seafood Platter was excellent. It also came with four scallops, four shrimp, and some cod, each of which were very good as well.... but that crab cake. I also got the seared ahi tuna appetizer. It was good too, but not amazing. Highly recommend this place. If I am back in town, I will stop here!"

"Didn't have reservations but only had to wait about ten minutes. Our waiter was great and took good care of us. Ordered the fried seafood platter and my wife ordered the broiled platter. We could have ordered one platter and shared a meal but we wanted to try both styles and they were both cooked perfectly. And both were delicious"

"Fast service and a very professional, friendly staff! Food was delicious and my cocktail was yummy too! We normally go with shrimp and grits, but we decided to shake things up this time! My husband got the Swordfish steak and I got the Filet and Lobster tail! The Spinach Maria is my all time favorite side dish! We also had the crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and they did not disappoint!"

"It was better than I expected! The drinks arrive a little slowly but they’re tasty and strong, and so does food arrive a little slowly but when it does arrived it’s really not bad. The fried calamari was way too greasy for me but I did like my grilled chicken salat a lot, and it doesn’t happen very often in Knoxville. It’s not a place I’d go for when I go out to eat, but compared to other places in town it’s a great quality for the money you pay!"
