Great Bridge Restaurants

With gorgeous intracoastal views and a welcoming community, the Great Bridge neighborhood offers a laid back environment alongside a respite from city life, with meals available right by the water.

American Classics

Stop by Buckets Bar And Grill for fried pickles, potato skins, BLTs, and tons of other American classics. With dozens of TVs, this local hangout is sure to be screening a game or two you’ll want to watch while enjoying ice-cold beers and scrumptious hot eats.

The Butcher’s Son Chop House puts a spin on the classic American steakhouse by combining the sleekness of an East Coast metropolis with the casual appeal of the American South. Pull up a bar stool, slide into a booth, or grab a table to enjoy locally harvested and humanely treated meats, like bone-in lamb chop, tenderloin, and prime rib, that are free of antibiotics and hormones. Specialty dishes like Steak and Cake—sirloin with crab cake—and seafood mac and cheese are great options. And with sides like broccolini, potatoes, and creamed spinach, no one will go home hungry.

Want good old-fashioned Southern cooking? Court House Cafe's dedication to exceptional service and mouthwatering food make it a local favorite. Newly rebuilt in 2023, they continue to offer the same classic cuisine since first opening in 1985. Their award-winning prime rib and She Crab soup are a must-try on their menu.

Something Different

In search of something sweet? Donuts and frozen custard meet at this wildly creative and fun-for-all-ages establishment. Choose from one of the specialty donuts Amazing Glazed has to offer, create your own, or split one in half and fill it with frozen custard for a decadent delight you won’t soon forget. 

Something for Later

With sandwich rolls made from scratch, premium deli meats, and homemade chicken and pork salads, Bergey’s Breadbasket will satisfy your savory craving before serving your sweet tooth one of their fantastic seasonally inspired ice cream flavors or fresh homemade pies. And, if you end up staying past sunset, they even offer dinner to go, so you can always grab a bite on your way out.

For those who want to keep shopping while they snack, Hickory Trading Company is just the place. Sit down to a cup of coffee and sandwich at one of their board game-style tables, and peruse jewelry and crafts by local artists while you eat. Before you go, pick up a jar of honey, garden art, a handmade wallet, or one of dozens of other unique gifts for friends and family. It’s sure to be the perfect souvenir of your time in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake.
