“Had lunch and the food was delicious and nice ambiance!“

“Stopped her for breakfast. Very cute diner inside, our waitress Carie was amazing, so friendly and attentive! One of the best waitresses I’ve had in a long time. Food came out fast and everything was delicious! Very reasonable prices. We will definitely be back!“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“
