Chesapeake's, Seafood restaurant in downtown Knoxville, US.
Chesapeake's is a seafood restaurant in downtown Knoxville with multiple dining areas including a garden patio, bar, lounge, and two private banquet rooms. The varied spaces allow for casual meals, formal dinners, and private events all under one roof.
The restaurant was established in a restored building near Henley Street as part of the Copper Cellar Family Restaurant group. It has been a fixture in downtown Knoxville's dining scene since its founding.
The restaurant sources seafood directly from Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific waters, making fresh catches central to how locals experience dining here. This coastal connection shapes the menu and sets the place apart in inland Tennessee.
The restaurant opens at 11:00 AM for lunch until 2:30 PM and again at 4:30 PM for dinner until 10:00 PM, with extended hours on weekends. The layout spreads across multiple areas, so arriving early or making a reservation works well for larger groups.
The private garden patio tucked away in downtown offers an unexpected retreat that feels separate from typical restaurant spaces. Diners often overlook this outdoor area, making it a hidden advantage for those seeking quieter meals.
