Great food, great service, great spot!! This is an excellent go-to. We love this place and always have a fantastic experience.

The food is for the most part but the place needs a good cleaning the table was sticky and the place had a funky smell.

They have a no tip nessecary policy and the staff is friendly. TVs are visible from almost any angle, so you can watch a game from your booth/table. The decor could honestly be better and some entres come with chips instead of fries, which I personally dislike because they're pretty bland and flavorless. I think you can sub them out for an upcharge though. The entres themselves are good and I have never had an issue-this time I got a gyro but I would highly recommend going with a burger. read more

Really gone downhill. If a Rachel is pastrami, cheese, Thousand Island, and coleslaw what is minus the cheese and slaw!? Food this pricey needs to be prepared better! read more

Wifey and I wanted lunch on a sunny day, so we decided to checkout Chesapeake G&D since her employer receives catering from this establishment. Parking was good because it's in a strip mall and the setup is that you order, they bring your food to your table based on the number put on the table was refreshing and reminded me of the old days. We opted for the cream of crab soup, Slamming Salmon wrap along with fish & chips made with rockfish. We received our orders expeditiously and everything was fresh. The service was on point, and we will definitely be back! read more

Best clam chowder I've ever had in my life. I drive from Alexandria, VA to get a bowl. Of course I take another bowl for the ride home. This becomes a great meal while watching football on Sunday! read more

One of my favorite places in all of Maryland. The entire menu is solid, the cream of crab, OB wings, and the Chicken and Shrimp pasta were 3 of my favorites. read more

A local favorite that has awesome food! Service is good and it is a comfortable eat in café feel. I ordered carryout online and asked for utensils. I didn't catch it until I got home, but which time it was too late. That is not the first time that it has happened. Also, it's become very pricey! read more

Crabcakes are very small and far too breaded and salty $42 overpriced Served w no silverware. read more

Very consistent food and service. We usually get take out as the seating is small. Their crab soup and cream of crab are great. When in season. The Gyro is full of meat and you can get lamb or their gyro blend. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered a burger and fries to eat in the restaurant. The burger was ok but the fries weren't even hot. How do you get lukewarm fries when you're feet away from where they are being cooked. My friends sandwich was not warm either. read more

Don't blink or you will miss this amazing little eatery on Route 4! Had lunch with a friend here in 10/4 and it is cute and quaint, clean and just all around amazing! I went with the cheesesteak salad special and it was HUGE!! It was all the wonderful parts a cheesesteak without the bread. The salad itself was fresh , all the veggies vibrant and delicious and topped with the generous portion of shaved beef and provolone. My friend ordered a burger, you get a choice of 12 or 8 ounces, she went with the 8 and it looked delicious and well prepared! Her fries were fresh and hot and topped with just the right amount of Old Bay! It's a quick service order at the counter type of place, all of the employees were so friendly and plates were cleared in a timely matter and every employee checked on us to see if we were ok and if we needed anything. In short, if you find yourself hungry on a Sunday or any day for that matter, take a nice drive and experience this lovely little gem! You won't be disappointed! read more

I've frequented this business a few times over the last two years, since moving to the area. I will have to say they have never let me or the family (including young kids) down! All the food I've had is phenomenal, can't go wrong with their burger and not sure what they do but my kids rave about the Mac n Cheese. The food presents beautifully, and has equally good taste. The staff is always friendly and the place is always clean! Will continue to visit this establishment. read more

After finding this restaurant on yelp my wife and I decided to try their chef salad it was really good and the staff was very friendly and organized we will definitely go back. read more

I had the cheesy crab flat pizza. It was good and delicious. We also had the Chesapeake salad which was very nice. We tried the gooey cake and that was something new for us. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. read more

definitely not as good as it used to be, the food taste old and the service is equally as bad. there is no ambiance. The place is always empty, there not as busy anymore. I wish when restaurants go down hill, they should just close and make room for an owner that has passion for their business this one doesn't read more

Well, we don't get to this area very often so we strategically planned our visit around meal time. We stopped on our way down and ordered two bowls (I'm not willing to share now) of cream of crab and an order wings. For dinner we had.... you guessed it, two more bowls of cream of soup and a burger. Honestly, the soup is so filling I really didn't need anything else. Since you are still reading this. Press the get directions button, head here walk to the counter and order some cream of crab soup as well as any of the other items that all sound great, grab a seat and they will bring it to you. Wait, what? You aren't eating in restaurants because of COVID? Call it in and drive over. They have this down pat. They will bring the order to your car. They had very brisk carryout business at lunchtime. read more

The Chesapeake Salad is the best. My son always asks me to bring him one when I visit.

While shopping the other day, wife and I stopped by for lunch and we're so glad we did! Don't let the size fool you - this is a quality restaurant. Fury, we were cheerfully greeted by the staff, who took our order. My wife got the chef salad and she loved it. It was so much, she had plenty to to make home. I ordered the steak and cheese Sammy and WOW! It was huge and delicious. The bread was amazing and the steak was grilled with onions. Needless to say, we enjoyed our first visit and plan on returning. read more

We will not be coming back. Two orders of fries were cold, even the table behind us, we heard the person say their fries were cold. They said they would remake our fries and we waited about 20 minutes before we had to remind them about the fries. Steak and burger was ordered medium, both arrived well done. The person who gave us our fries (finally) was nice and offered a free dessert for the wait. However, for $70 spent for three people to eat, this is not a place we'll be returning to. read more

The food is generally good and the staff is generally nice. It's a nice store w tables out back or inside. Laid back The quality of the staff is variable. My recent experience involved the person who took my order being clueless about what came with it and how to key it in. He walked away from the cash register without saying a word. Left me standing there. Truly bizarre. His coworker stepped up to key the order in, she also seemed a bit uncertain but she stayed there and tried to figure it out. Then the original guy came back. Put his fingers in his nose. Ugh. It just seemed like these kids needed additional training. I couldn't figure out if there was a manager. It seemed like they were struggling on their own. My biggest beef is when the staff brings the food out, they don't necessarily bring silverware and napkins. I guess that's rhe customers job? It's unclear. Also, unclear is tipping. The tips used to go to community organizations on a rotating basis, but it's not clear if that's still the case or if the tips now go to the staff? One tip Jar at each register would be helpful. read more

My wife and I came for dinner and a gift card. The gift card was for another family. We figured they might like this place. We ordered cream of crab soup, a Chesapeake salad, and a Chef salad. The cream of crab soup was thick and had plenty of shredded crab meat. Unfortunately, it had too much Old Bay seasoning which made it quite salty and somewhat spicy. There was so much Old Bay that the taste of subtle flavors was overpowered. There was no noticeable flavor of sherry wine, butter, or cream. This is not a seafood restaurant, so I didn't expect it to be great. It had some depth of flavor with a good amount of crab. So, it was decent tasting, but the Old Bay seasoning needs to be decreased. Unless you're an Old Bay freak:)    The Chesapeake salad had mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, hearts of palm, cranberries, sunflower seeds, avocado,  green olives, and feta cheese. They had 10 types of salad dressing. FYI, the spicy ranch is ranch dressing with Old Bay seasoning. We picked balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The dressing had a zesty sour flavor with no sweetness. I don't think it was a balsamic vinaigrette. If it was a zesty Italian dressing, then it was good. Everything was very crisp and fresh. Overall, this was a very good vegetarian salad.    The Chef Salad had mixed greens, bacon, ham, cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, mushrooms, croutons, and sliced hard-boiled eggs. We chose ranch dressing. All of the components were fresh and flavorful. They were cut into small pieces so that eating them was not cumbersome. If you've ever eaten at a restaurant with bad preparation, you'll know what I mean. Kudos to the prep people who work here. Great prep work on both salads!! The bacon was real bacon sliced into square pieces. This was a nice touch that made this salad stand out from other restaurants' Chef salads. Loved the combination of ingredients in this salad! It was very satisfying and filling.    The service was cordial, responsive, and reasonably quick. The restrooms and dining room were clean. The atmosphere was laid-back and casual. There is enough variety on the menu to satisfy most people. We plan to visit again. read more

Ok food, ok service. First time I went, I had the wings and they came w so much Old Bay they were simply too salty. Good serving size but not really good wings. Second visit I got Rockfish Bites and a Pulled Pork Sandwich. Again, way too much Old Bay in the dipping sauce (and also in the bites breading?) for the rockfish bites, plus they were a bit too greasy. I threw away the last 3 or 4 bites which I hate to do. The pulled pork sandwich was pretty good, nice balance of coleslaw and pork. Still trying to find a favorite dish here. read more

Polite employees and decent food to bad it's stuck in a strip mall. If it had more exposure it would be a more popular place

I've been going here for years! I love their Cream of Crab soup. They give a generous amount of crab and it is seasoned to perfection! They also have good homemade lemonade. read more

Wanted to take a couple minutes to talk about an experience we had with our food this evening. There are a few menu items that have been staples for us at CG and one of those (biggest one) is the cream of crab soup. We have been getting it for years and have compared it highly to another favorite of ours, Edgewater Restaurants cream of crab. Unfortunately our soup this evening has taken a major step backwards with the crab being very subpar compared to the last time we got it. The cream of crab had always been of great flavor and had lump crab meat in the soup with very little shells. The soup this evening contained very clearly cheaper crab meat that was not lump at all and had a lot of shells in the soup. For me this was a MAJOR turnoff and if this is a menu/ingredient change then that will be a big determining factor in our decision for future visits. I can't state enough how much we enjoyed and appreciated your cream of crab, this evening's was very disappointing. I am very hopeful that this was a fluke or off day, but if this is a new change to cuts costs or what not, it will have a larger negative impact. I believe in true and honest reviews for the sake of improving service or quality so I am hopeful that this catches the attention it deserves and gets things back to where they should be. I would love some feedback on if this is a change that was made to the ingredients for cost reasons or other. read more

Food has always been great when I've eaten here. I'm a local, & tend to eat here at least once a month. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for something affordable while also having variety. read more

So I initially had an issue with a previous order and since I had signed up for text notifications I got a text asking about my order and upon completion I got a call from the manager. She made everything right and when we came for our subs today the girl let us know our Subs came plain. Hallelujah and thumbs up they actually made changes as well as took care of us for the prior issue. Not only is this a business that cares they want to make sure you come back. We are happy and will most definitely come back. The Gyros are superb and we look forward to trying new items on the menu. Calvert County has a few gems and this is one of them. read more

Nice place. Varied menu. Very casual, but great food. Crab soup is great! Only downside for me is that you have to order at the counter.... read more

Food is consistently good! I order from them at least twice a week. Turkey burger is made in house and is my favorite in the area

A great place for lunch. We really enjoyed the special lasagna and various sandwiches.

This place really just is "eh"... food has never come out as ordered and we're always having to go back up to the counter and remind them of some missing side or have them cook a burger right.. my first burger I ordered here came out nearly raw and I wanted it medium well. Yikes. It's somehow always packed so maybe the longtime locals love it but so far after three tries, just not impressed... read more

This is definitely one of the best places in Dunkirk to eat, went here Thursday evening wanting to try the Cream of Crab soup.... Amazing Amazing Amazing!! It is filled with crab meat and nice and creamy, just a fantastic taste. I also had a cheese burger with fries and I must say that was very tasty as well. The customer service was great as soon as you walk in you are greeted with a smile and everyone has a nice attitude. The owner Chad walks around shaking peoples hands and sparking up conversations, what a nice guy. He knows how to make people feel at home.. I will be back soon. Thank you read more

Visit this place quite frequently. Was totally disgusted with the way my family was treated here tonight. We came in with a family member from Florida tonight, and we got here around 8:45. Ordered our food at 8:51. We were not given the plastic cups for our drinks but paper cups to go. My niece went to get ice in the cups for the kids, and there was no ice. She brought it to the attention of someone behind the counter, and she said there was ice in there. After trying again , they finally came out and emptied 3 full buckets of ice in the hopper in the machine. We were not told that we would have to be in a hurry because they closed at 9. Our order was not correct, which we dealt with, but what disturbs me the most is that they must have been in a hurry where they did not fully cook the kids' wings. They were raw on the inside. Had they let them cook another 6 or 7 minutes, they might have escaped this review. My grilled chicken ceasar salad came out without the chicken.This place needs to retrain their staff in customer service and proper food temperatures for cooking chicken, not serving it raw to their guests. They need to stop seating at 8:30 PM so they don't have to hurry people up and treat them like my family was treated so the staff can hurry up and go home. We dropped over $140.00 and definitely was not worth it one bit.Theire prices are not the cheapest in town for sure, but couple with the way things turned out , I would not recommend going in this place after 8pm. read more

2 stars because the prices are absolutely insane. Everything in this lunch spot is overpriced. And don't say it's bc of inflation or economy. They have always been high, now there just way too high. Food is nothing amazing but not bad just tough to swallow the soup when its a $14 bucks. read more

Ordered the cream of crab very runny again very runny‼ small so ordered a Reuben sandwich it was dry and no flavor wouldn't recommend
