27 Best Seafood Restaurants in Chesapeake

“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!“

Attentive like a hawk he did not miss a single refill and his impeccable timing allowed me to enjoy both my food and my date without being bothered too often. I love the food, I live for Anthony.

Anthony if you read this please continue to be a delight and don’t change a thing I WILL be seeing you soon!“

“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 😍“

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

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

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

“My son-in-law and daughter took us here for a family dinner. Excellent food and service. I had a fried seafood platter with oysters, clams, shrimp, haddock fillet, hushpuppies, green beans and spinach casserole. This can be ordered not fried. It wasn't at all greasy. The fried oysters were plump and delicious. The shrimp were big and tender. Loved the old fashioned style of seafood restaurant.“

“I got 2 of the Shrimp and Fish combos. The Shrimp batter is delicious. The fries were cooked well. The hushpuppies were well seasoned. The fish was fried hard but pretty good. The coleslaw was a bit tangy but still decent. Overall it was an 7/10 meal and filling for $15/meal.“

“Best locals bar, love the staff.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed the Company &the food“

“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.“

“If you're looking for the best fried crabs, fish, and crab rolls in the Chesapeake area, Eddie's Crab House is the place to go! Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The fried crabs were outstanding, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the crab rolls were amazing.

A special shout-out to Corey for providing exceptional customer service. He has a great personality, is welcoming, friendly, and made us feel like valued customers from the moment we walked in. Great food paired with outstanding service is always a winning combination. I highly recommend Eddie's Crab House and will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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!“

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