Restaurants near Earthquake The Ride

Took us on time for our reservation. The food was great. Cost was $5 more a meal then what is normal back home but this is a vacation spot. It’s to be expected

We are seafood lovers but were hesitant about that fare in the Smoky Mountains. Rave reviews convinced us to try the Chesapeake. We are so glad we did! We were greeted pleasantly and taken to a booth overlooking the river. The hostess fretted that the quieter are we had requested now had a large party. The setting of our table was lovely, but the music level was a challenge for my husband with a hearing issue. Beyond that,our meal was wonderful. The grilled oysters that we shared were delightful with the yummy bread provided. Our cocktails were brought promptly and were the perfect accompaniment to the appetizer. Our entrees were delicious - crab cakes and Chesapeake shrimp. For sides we chose the bacon and cheddar grits and Cole slaw. Both were tasty, although the grits could have been warmer. We each ordered a glass of NZ white wine with our dinners. Our server, Eliana, was pleasant and proficient. This was our favorite meal in Gatlinburg. We highly recommend The Chesapeake.

This was our second time here. The food was great, and reasonably priced. Server was jelly and attentive. Will definitely go back again.

Nice experience. Our server, Aslan, was outstanding! Very nice young man that took the time to make sure we understood how to order and what we were ordering. Pleasant environment. Decent food. Pricing is/was EXCESSIVE in our opinion. (In fairness, Pricing was clearly marked but very expensive. Nearly $500 including tip with NO alcohol for 2 adults/2 older teens). Good experience but the price tag makes it a one and done for us, most likely. (And no, we’re not brokees but we’d kinda like to stay that way and this AIN’T that. 🤣)

It was great. The fries I ordered were over seasoned with seasoning salt. However I am not a salt person to begin with. I loved the She shed drink and the music was awesome.
