Food was excellent and so was the service. We got a reservation so we didn't have to wait. I've been coming here since I was little! Fish stew was amazing, as always. Look for the gators! read more

Service was great, food portions are HUGE, ambiance is spot on, sitting on a lake with turtles, birds, and gators. We sat in the window, enjoyed cinnamon rolls before the meal as well as hush puppies. Everyone got something different and no one was able to eat their whole meal. 100% will visit again. Some people say this place fell off but if they're going strong after 50-55 years... it should speak volumes about the success. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

The service was on point and the food was delicious and plentiful. They bring out hush puppies and cinnamon rolls when you are seated. We got a salad and fish soup with the meal. We sat by the window and could see the turtles in the water. The restaurant was bright and decorated in sea shore decorations. You won't leave hungry. read more

I will start by saying the server, Morgan, was excellent! She was very attentive and we never had to wonder where she was or Even ask for anything because she was already on top of it. The food was decent and they had lots of good options. My favorite dish is always the pesto salmon and obviously the hush puppies!! On the other hand, I made a reservation weeks before our vacation because places get booked fast and waits are long. We still had to wait 35 minutes after our reservation time to get seated! Honestly the most disappointing thing about this place was the fact they did not have any poles with the hook game anymore. That was one of the most nostalgic past times of this place. Overall, I would recommend this place for a good bite to eat. read more

Service was excellent and we received everything swiftly. The food was far beyond what we expected. Our server Brook was top notch. You guys helped make our vacation a great experience. Now we are headed outside to get a glimpse of the gators. Kudos to you. read more

They start you off with hush puppies & cinnamon buns! Seafood was fresh , waitress friendly and attentive. Restaurant on a pond and 2 alligators swam by while turtles sitting on log read more

Overall, we had a nice meal, great service. One person in our party ordered the baked spaghetti, I couldn't believe how small the portion was when it arrived. $20 and didn't include a salad or even bread . It looked like something you would get at a cafeteria for $7-8. Charging $35 for a seafood dish - I get that, but $20 for a serving of spaghetti with no salad is ridiculous. read more

Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, and pleasant staff. The restaurant has a wonderful view of the water and I especially like the fountain in the middle of it! read more

You have to try this place! We got there about 20minutes early. While waiting in the parking lot we were surprised at how many cars were coming in. As we were standing in line a few minutes before they open a Bus pulled in full of people. Not a problem at all. Within 15 minutes we were all seated and drinks and Cinnamon Rolls & Hushpuppies basket was brought. Which was great. Very organized! We both ordered off the Senior menu of Fan-tailed Shrimp dinner. It was delicious! Served with a small cup of Fish stew soup, Salad, 10 Shrimp and a side. I will definitely make it back here. Thanks to our wonderful Server Brooke. read more

What a disappointment the Chesapeake House has become. My $31.00 fried oyster plate was not what it use to be, fewer oysters that were of mediocre quality. What was once my fan fav, the cinnamon rolls and hush puppies, served as you waited for your waitress and food were cold, dry, and stiff. The side salad was very small, but the dressing was good. The flatware was a bit unclean appearing and the side of fish stew was tiny and not great. The reservation went well, but the waitress was new and I really wasn't looking to be a training party, but she was polite. I'll be trying another restaurant next time. read more

We returned to the Chesapeake House. This time we were there later, around 645 pm. My daughter thoroughly loved her spaghetti. My husband got the fish stew and rice meal--he wasn't super hungry so it was the perfect portion for him. I wasn't super hungry either so I got the she crab soup and the appetizer peel & eat shrimp. The shrimp were incredible! Well seasoned and tasty. The she crab soup is delicious--very creamy and well seasoned. I would recommend ordering it no matter the weather outside! My parents were less than thrilled this time with their meal. They got a fried flounder and clam strip meal to split. The clam strips were lacking flavor. The breading had flavor, not even salt. The potato was not throughly cooked and quite hard in some places. Our server seemed overwhelmed but tried to keep up with drink refills and such. Our food took a considerable amount of time to come out and she apologized. read more

Service was exceptional. Food was very good. Lovely restaurant right on water. Would have been a five star, but was very disappointed that the mixed green salad came out with only iceberg lettuce. read more

We arrived in MBSC after a 12 hour drive and we wanted some of the traditional food we love in this area. This restaurant was close to where we were staying. We have been there many times and love the atmosphere and as usual the service was great. We were there later in the evening on a Saturday in the off season and we were seated immediately. The service was quick and friendly we had two servers watching our drinks and taking orders. The bread service here is great with sweet corn dodgers (hush puppies) and cinnamon rolls. We had the house salads and they were fresh and my blue cheese dressing was wonderful. I had the shrimp platter, soooo much food! I live in a land locked state and can pay $30 bucks for 10 shrimp so I was amazed and could not finish my plate. The shrimp were hot and sweet, just a bit chewy, but still very good. The baked potato was fluffy and tasty I love the unlimited butter and sour cream on the table. The hubby had the fried seafood platter. He liked everything on the plate, I had a bite of his deviled crab and it was outstanding. This is place has a great laid back atmosphere. Pro Tip - I had the cinnamon rolls for breakfast the next morning - 20 seconds in the microwave and they are delightful. read more

We have visited the Chesapeake House a number of times and we have had better in the past. Sorry to say they have gone down hill in every aspect of the restaurant. Service sub par. I was asked how the diner was, good? and I said not really. Fish was dry and more skin than I expected. Waitress replies 'that's the way it should be' Really! She had no concern what the meal was. Nothing more said. No drink fill ups. Just and over priced bill, a $23.00 fried fish 6" long! I get a $5 fish fry bigger than that! Sorry Chesapeake we will not be returning. Not that you really care and it shows. Tom M. read more

don't go here if you enjoy eating your food. went with a party of 7, not one of the meals were good. shrimp cocktail, ha! you're better off just thawing frozen shrimp at home and it would probably be better. red lobster is better and that's saying a lot read more

My first time here. They bring you a basket of hush puppies and cinnamon rolls. The hush puppies were good kind of tasted like cake. The cinnamon rolls were dry, but I was told they are a staple of the restaurant. I ordered the combination platter with clam strips, the small shrimp and fish fingers. I ate a few pieces of the clam strips and it tasted like I was chewing dirt after so those are no for me. The fish fingers were very light and flaky and had a very good taste. I asked for ranch for my salad dressing and was brought thousand island and when I asked another waitress for it, she told our waiter, my daughter read his lips and he said "whatever". Needless to say, the other young lady ended up bringing me the dressing that I originally ordered so that customer service experience put a bad taste in my mouth. I also ordered onion rings for appetizer. They were OK. Every meal comes with the fish stew..... it's like vegetable soup/tomato based with seafood in it. It's an acquired taste. read more

The food is great in taste but the fish stew got me very sick!! Currently throwing up in the bathroom read more

Jeffery was out server and did a great job. Flounder and shrimp were good. Ofcourse the hush puppies and cinnamon rolls were a hot. We come every year and are never disappointed read more

Food was great, service was fast and awesome, and would eat there again. Really liked the rolls. My kids and I shared some of my shrimp, they were delicious. read more

Service was outstanding in all respects.Our waitress was timely, helpful and friendly! Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Returning this week! Loved what hung the alligators swimming by too. read more

This place is amazing. For starters rather than the usual bread plate most restaurants serve this place serves hush puppies and cinnamon rolls. The hush puppies were fried to perfection and were amazing. The cinnamon rolls were great as well. I honestly went back our last day in Myrtle Beach to get the hush puppies and cinnamon rolls for takeout so we could have them on our trip back home. I had the classic seafood platter broiled. It was flavored well and didn't really need sauce. The meal comes with a cub of fish stew and a salad. The service was excellent and everyone from the hostess to the wait staff were all very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend. read more

We've been eating here as a family for over 30 years and it's always a hit! Quick service, delicious seafood -- ask for a table with water views if you can! read more

Nice restaurant, ocean feel, not touristy, just nice. Noise was a little loud as servers were gathered near our table. Our guy was still in training as he was checked behind by more experienced personnel. He was good, friendly, informative, polite. Our orders were correct and fresh, and hot off the cookers. Fantail shrimp, fried, about 15-20, 2 senior flounder dishes and a seafood platter. All had baked potatoes, very hot and house salads. A shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. The 6 shrimp in the cocktail were melt in your mouth tender. No fishy smell or taste, very good. Flounder dishes had 1 piece of flounder about the length of the plate, crispy and hot. The seafood platter consisted of oysters (medium size), fantail shrimp (about 10) and scallops as a substitute, $5 extra. We were surprised the number of scallops about 12-14, about the size of a ping pong ball. Had to cut into quarters and halves, cut wonderfully, and buttery. Orders come with complimentary hush puppies and cinnamon rolls. Nice surprise and helped clean your palette. It had been many years since we had eaten there so it good to remember the quality of good seafood. read more

Excellent service with friendly staff. We were seated promptly. The food is very good and portions are huge. The hushpuppies and cinnamon rolls steal the show, but all the food we had was very good. It's a nice restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. Great place for a family or just a date night. read more

Not a bad bite to be had! It will be a staple for us every time we return to the beach. That good. It's kind of a hole in the wall... But the nicest people ever who can cook like they did back in the day! read more

My wife and I stopped in to have an evening meal after a long drive to Myrtle Beach. We had eaten here about 10 years ago and wanted to try it again. I ordered the Fried Sampler Platter and my wife had the Fantail Shrimp. I had forgotten how large the platters were and we had more food than we could eat. I enjoyed the variety and my wife kept stealing from my plate when I wasn't looking. Everything was very tasty. As it was later in the day, our server seemed to pay more attention to cleaning up and next day prep than waiting on us. We were not ignored, just not a lot of attention. I recommend coming earlier in the day, but be prepared for a crowd. The restaurant is old school with lots of dark wood and mounted fish on the walls. Chesapeake is well worth the trip. read more

The food was excellent and large portions! My husband could not finish his platter and there were so many scallops we were able to have a second dinner the next night! read more

Great fried shrimp. Excellent atmosphere and service. Try the early bird special, beat the crowd and get a discount!

The warm sour cream cup on the table with the label "Keep Refrigerated " should have been enough warning. The young lady waiting on us was excellent. The issues with this meal are all on the kitchen and management. Just to be clear, I own a restaurant in Boston for 16 years. I know a little bit about food. The salads were warm and lettuce was in remission. It had completely given up. The crisp left it hours before it was even served. The ribeye steak was very thin and bland. It was cooked to the right temperature, but had the flavor of shoe leather. The shrimp were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The beef tips have to be the worst i have ever tasted. Zero flavor or spices. Looked like oversized ground beef that was cooked last week. The plain Baked potato and decaf coffee were exceptional. Unfortunately I don't see myself ever eating in this establishment again. read more

I am a resident of Myrtle Beach. I had dinner at Chesapeake House March 23, 2026. I will never go back. There are numerous seafood restaurants in Myrtle Beach that are better. They should send their cooks (they don't have a chef) to Biminis or Big Mike's Soul Food to learn how to cook. Their hushpuppies are terrible. Their shrimp and flounder are mediocre. And there was a group of 15 elderly visiting golfers as boisterous as a frat party kegger that made conversation at our table impossible. Spend your money elsewhere read more

The food was amazing and big portions!! Lots of hush puppies & homemade breads free! Chelle, our server, was so sweet and light-hearted. Joked around with my 80 year old parents. Made them laugh. So cool watching the alligators & turtles right outside the window overlooking the water! We had a great experience all around! I called my husband at home in Virginia & told him we are definitely coming back here. read more

We have been going to Chesapeake House while on vacation in MB for years! We've tried loads of other seafood places in the area, and not one has been better. We didn't think we could love it any more than we do, but this visit we also had a fantastic server, Kayden. She was attentive, helpful, and just plain fun to chat with during our meal. My youngest son, 9, loved seeing the alligators in the pond outside too. If you haven't been here yet, what are you doing?? Go!! read more

When we visit the Grand Strand we always look forward to dining at the Chesapeake House. Even though I am not a fan of the fish stew, the entrees I have enjoyed are well prepared. I especially enjoy the combo's that have fried shrimp and scallops. Entrees are reasonably priced compared to offerings at other restaurants in the area. Ample quantities are served. The Chesapeake House remains one of my favorite restaurants after dining there for years! read more

This is our go to place at the beach. Consistently great food and service. Highly recommend making a reservation!

Service was excellent- Food/drinks well worth the $ Took my daughter for her 16th Birthday and they surprised with a nice dessert read more

Hadn't been to this place in 20 years. Was in the neighborhood after a comedy show at comedy cabana. The wait staff were superb. The complimentary hush puppies were a welcome treat and the cinnamon buns we took home for a treat. Since this place is in restaurant row, it's not hard to find. The fountain in the pond was relaxing and the wait wasn't long at all. I had the shrimp and grits which did not disappoint. Gotta try this place. Kid friendly too. read more

Excellent salmon and breads. We eat here every time we're in Myrtle Beach. This is our favorite restaurant.

The food was pretty good and the kids loved the cinnamon rolls before the meal. I wish kids meals came with a drink vs the $3 I paid for each one. The service was great, all the servers were hustling and really trying. It was clean and nice in the establishment. read more

My husband and I had dinner at Chesapeake House with family one weeknight in May while visiting the NMB area. They seated us in the back, overlooking the water with a lovely view. They serve a basket of homemade hush puppies and warm cinnamon rolls with the included salads. The hush puppies were of the sweet variety, and perfect with the whipped butter. I appreciated that they provided something different, like cinnamon rolls, but sadly, I've had better. The salads were small, but just fine. I enjoyed my ranch dressing. They also give you a small cup of fish stew, but I wasn't a big fan. I'm glad CH offers low-carb entrees after enjoying those hush puppies! For our entrees, I had the grilled fantail shrimp with their vegetable of the day, green beans. My shrimp were spectacular--they had so much flavor, and there were so many of them! The green beans were also really good, and tasted like they were cooked in ham hock. My husband had their Chesapeake baked fish, with the green beans. He really enjoyed his dish as well. Our server (Matthew) was fantastic. He was attentive, helpful, and handled our party of six quite easily. I appreciated that they served me a small bottle of Ruffino Prosecco, with enough for almost two small champagne glasses. It was not my favorite brand, but still tasty and a generous serving. We'll definitely return the next time we're in the area! read more

Have visited this restaurant over the last 20+ years to several insurance meetings that we were having in the The area. I can truly say the last two or three times I've been here. It's definitely not the same as it used to be. I was the only one of my family members that felt like it was pretty good. Not sure if we will be returning.. the shrimp that I received last night when I ate, there was definitely not good. And neither was the coleslaw.. the server was nice and so was the atmosphere just the food was a little off read more
