The Mac is great when fresh and hot a little greasy but worth it. Also the Pot Roast over rice was really my favorite. Got it super hot/ fresh. Tore the food up in minutes!“

“Other than the cooks ,two clerks stood by the counter one with their back turned away from the counter. The other one leaned against the counter where the orders are placed for pickup around doing nothing . They didn't acknowledge my presence at the counter. I had to say hello. The food was plentiful ,delicious and reasonably priced. I didn't receive starter sauce as expected with my order.“

“My sister and I had lunch at Carrabba's in Chesapeake, VA yesterday. It was a very nice experience from start to finish. I arrived before my sister. I was greeted in a very courteous and friendly manner and seated immediately. Our server Tonya was excellent! She was professional, courteous and attentive. Service was prompt and the food was very good. I had the Johnny Rocco salad, which was fresh and tasty. Tonya took great care of us, and we appreciated the outstanding customer service. We'll be back!“

“If you haven't been to the Amber Lantern, YOU NEED TO 😍 This hidden gem is like the best kept secret. It's off the beaten path, so you wouldn't know you're even passing it, but frankly, I think that's what I like the most about it. I took hubby out for his birthday, and we had such a quiet and peaceful dinner overlooking the water. Our bill at the end of the night was surprisingly lower than we expected, and we ate many high end meal options. I'd actually go as far to say that I prefer this place over Butcher's Son. Our server, Kristi, went above and beyond and was incredibly genuine and down to earth. The menu provided a great selection that gave many options but wasn't overwhelming. The wine was out of this world! For appetizers we had scallops and fried oysters. I've eaten many oysters in my day, but I've never had ones like this. Lightly fried on the outside with that perfect crunch while the oyster itself was still very juicy! The scallops were perfectly seasoned. My husband had the special of beef tips while I had lobster tortellini. The beef tips didn't even require a knife, just melted right in the mouth. My lobster tortellini was out of this world. We ended with a dessert of tiramisu, homemade raspberry whipped cream, and Carmel sauce. WOW! It was light and moist but not drenched in liquid. We went around 6 and there were only a few couples, but by 8, it was booming! Many regulars from what I could tell. My husband commented that we are definitely coming back, and bringing others with us 😍. It'll now be our go-to for birthdays, anniversaries, and visits from family 😍“

“The great food, positive atmosphere, healthy options. You will get your money's worth.“

“First time going there today and i absolutely enjoyed it! Food was bomb.com and the vibes were great! Definitely going back soon :)“

“I have been coming to this seafood restaurant for years, and it has never disappointed me. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The customer service is consistently top-tier and makes you feel like more than just a guest. The staff remembers familiar faces, which adds such a personal touch to every visit. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. Every dish tastes like it was made with care and attention to detail. The seafood is seasoned beautifully and cooked just right every single time. Whether I order my usual favorite or try something new, I am never let down. The portions are very generous and worth every dollar spent. The atmosphere is inviting, clean, and comfortable. It is the perfect place for family dinners, celebrations, or even a solo meal. The wait time is beyond reasonable, and the staff remains attentive throughout the entire dining experience. They check in often without being intrusive, which I truly appreciate. The consistency over the years is what keeps me coming back. It is rare to find a restaurant that maintains quality and service for so long. I have recommended this place to friends and family countless times. Everyone I bring here ends up loving it just as much as I do. It feels good to support a restaurant that genuinely cares about its customers. This seafood spot has earned my loyalty through excellent food and outstanding service. I will continue dining here for many more years to come. I absolutely love it here! Captain J’s you have never ever disappointed me!“

“Our server Kylie was absolutely AMAZING! Our food was all absolutely fantastic. So impressed and will absolutely be back. Highlights are especially the crab dip and cornbread. The broiled seafood was absolutely fantastic as well, scallops and shrimp.“

“My daughter and I had the Meat loaf ,was so good Husband had liver and onions , he loved it Drinks and desserts so good“

“I thoroughly enjoyed their seafood, especially their catfish and shrimp. I’ll tell all of my friends to go there to get the best seafood in this area. I asked that they cook shrimp And fish lightly crisp. They accommodate me every time. Thank you so much. See you soon.“

“First time going to Coopers. Everything was tasty. I would recommend!“

“We had the best day today at Hickory Ridge Farm! We brought my one year old twin daughters to see the beautiful sunflowers, but our expectations were exceeded with the animals and the kid play area! My daughters had the most fun just running around, playing with the toys in the yard, and petting the goats. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of my twins smile quite as much as she did today with the animals! Bunnies are her favorite, so she was delighted to see THREE in real life. She kept telling us “Ba…hop hop.” The team was also incredibly kind and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting with the owner; it’s evident that this farm truly is her labor of love. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that life has been difficult for my family lately. Being able to slow down and enjoy a “simple” day was truly just what we needed. While we are planning to come back, we definitely made memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your farm with us and for ensuring that we had a wonderful day.“

“First time here and definitely will be back! Seafood burritos were delicious! Clean restaurant and fast service!“

“Enjoyed the Company &the food“

“10/10 food and customer service! Their fried crabs and whiting are amazing. The batter is always crispy and flavorful. I have been getting my crabs from Eddie's for a few years and the customer service from Eddie, Sharon and Corey is always good.“

“Our first time trying Thai food. Delicious. Ordered mild. Will probably do medium next time because we will be back.“

“Best locals bar, love the staff.“

“Food was fresh and delicious!
There are a few tables inside... I suppose you could eat there. But this place is really for takeout.
Great food, will be back again! The orange chicken has real orange in it! The pork fried rice is great!“

“Ordered through door dash and they made to order as I requested. However, I believe this is the last time I order boneless spare ribs....it's always meat and gristle. The General Tso chicken was crispy and tasteful, white rice fresh and chicken wings tasteful. Egg rolls were flaky.“

“Best ribs I’ve ever had! They were a full huge rack, with such a great taste and just fall off the bone. Truly finger licking good. Not only that, they are quite the bargain at only $19. They have become quite a commodity amongst the locals so hope they don’t sell out. The best kept secret in Chesapeake, well secret no more. You’ve gotta come try them. You won’t be disappointed. Tell them Bert sent you! The picture is a DOUBLE STACK of ribs…Full Rack!“

“I was very disappointed!! Steak was full of gristle, and for $40 well not worth it. The small piece I was able to eat was well seasoned and cooked ok, a little underdone for a medium piece of meat. The baked potato was cold and the asparagus soggy and limp! What a meal, the server did offer to cook another steak, but since I was with a large crowd did not want to be eating my meal when everyone was ready to leave, I declined and asked for an adjustment to my check, they gave me a $20 adjustment, wow!! I ordered a cup of she crab soup, which was tasty, $8. And, I had a coke. Ended up spending $50 since gratuity was added. As a way of compensation I was brought a banana pudding that the bananas were rotten in. On the positive side, my service was very attentive and friendly, so I did leave an addition to my already charged for gratuity. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming. On the down side, there is no seating for folks that are waiting to be seated. We were told we could go to our cars and be texted when our table was ready, or wait at the bar which had insufficient seating. Our table had been reserved over a month ago, but still had to wait to be seated since "our" table was currently occupied and they were waiting for them to leave, so 11 of us were all huddled up by the front door, with no seating. Going back to the cars was unacceptable, if you've ever seen that parking lot at dinner time you know why. I was very disappointed that I brought 10 other people and was under compensated. My husband asked when I got home how were things, I just said, never again. Now, in all fairness, this was not my first visit. My other visit was for Sunday brunch, equally unimpressed. Oh, and as an added note, the prices that were reflected on the menu were all ignored and we were charged more, without being told. I'm sorry this review is so unflattering, but I'm compelled to tell the truth especially when fine dining. It's all such a shame. I was embarrassed that I was responsible for bringing a large crowd, since I saw several things left on plates. What a shame. The stars do not reflect my review, site would not allow me to change number of stars, I’d say 2 stars.“

“Great place to have a good time!!!!!“
