Perfect location right on market square. Had a bunch of the family there and each get a different burger from the huge variety of burgers. All enjoyed them and some had a hard time finishing since they were huge. Service was good and decor was rustic.

Been there 3 times in the last year lst two 2 times food was mediocre maybe because I lived in FLA. for the last 50 years and know what above average seafood tastes like. nice place but pricey for the quality of food they serve The oil in the fryer needed to be changed and when I said something to the waitress she came back and said it was "just done" I've worked in restuarants where I was the one who changed out the fryers so I know old oil. Thank you for your review. Feedback helps us learn and improve. I'm sorry for your experience. I assure you, your servers response is not our standard. It has been addressed with my staff. Thanks You!

Had breakfast here once, year ago probably and it was very good. In the area today and it was lunchtime, so... Had one of their daily specials for lunch. It was Salisbury Steak. Looked and tasted homemade, which is good! It came with a creole sauce that didn't really resemble any creole sauce I've ever had, but it tasted good and went well with the Salisbury Steak. It came with 2 sides and a corn muffin. The corn muffin was tasty. Crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. Excellent. Sides were mashed potatoes, which were very good, and stewed cabbage. Now listen up, the cabbage had spices in there and, WOW, it was great. Stewed cabbage! Who'd have guessed it could be so good! Sat at the bar and service was great despite the waitress busting her tail with other duties during the lunch rush. I'll definitely go back when I'm on that side of town. All in just over 7 bucks, plus a good tip, for a great plate full of food from great folks. Thank you for your awesome review. We truly appreciate your business as well as your kind feedback. We strive to make everyoneâs experience a pleasant one. Hope to see you back real soon. Thank you again. GO VOLS

We came here on a Friday night. We had really good service. The food was really good and so were the drinks. I had the shrimp and he had the mushrooms. Both were delicious. We also had oysters on the half shell. Also, really good! Will definitely be back! The atmosphere here is really relaxing but upscale.So glad you were able to enjoy our patio and your experience at Chesapeake's. If there is anything our team or I may do for you in the future, please ask. Regards,Todd Fleming

We had lunch here for our daughterâs 40th birthday. Food was delicious! My sirloin was so tender it almost couldâve passed for a filet! Seasoned perfectly! My daughter ordered calamari for an appetizer....I thought I didnât like calamari until I tasted it here....so tender and not rubbery. Waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly! Couldnât ask for better food or service. Well trained staff. Kudos to Connorâs!!! Will be back when in Knoxville!Thank you for the kind feedback!

We enjoyed a romantic meal here last night. We sat outside (great for people watching) and had excellent cocktails. Dinner was the toasted chicken and fettuccini bolognese (made with short rib). Both were outstanding. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Such a nice night!
