I discovered this establishment while vacationing. My wife and I have since moved to Chesapeake, Virginia and have been back to this establishment a few times. During the warm weather months, we usually request outdoor seating ( overlooking a small marina). The fried fish fillets are some of the freshest tasting white fish I have had in a long time. I especially enjoy their flavorful aioli that is served with it. Their wait staff routinely stopped by the table to refill our beverages. Without a doubt a great place for lunch. Great atmosphere, great staff, great food.

We love Lockside. Food is always great (burger night is my favorite!) and service is top notch. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because several times we have come in for breakfast during the winter and it is absolutely freezing inside. Today-63 degrees. Eat fast if you want hot food!

Standby folks!So we've been in Chesapeake since 2020. I've seen and driven by Lockside numerous times and for some reason just never put it on the "list." Probably due to the street side strip mall vibes...Here to tell you - stop by!!Stop by for the delicious food and the exceptional service annnd the hidden gem in the back... I can say this because we stopped for breakfast this morning - wifey was craving a breakfast burrito, which was delicious. We got the hashbrowns with it and they are super crispy and delicious. I mean crunchy! My daughter had just finished cross country practice, so wanted something small. She did the side "short stack" pancakes. They were $3.50 and rivaled the $16 pancakes from a recently opened Peake restaurant on Hillcrest. My daughter's friend got The American and was very happy. My wife and I cruised the back patio area because we couldn't sit back there when we checked in due to the pressure washing. They had finished while we were eating. What we find next is what makes this place great!The pictures we took don't due this place justice. The restaurant extends outside and then all the way down the waterfront where you come upon "The Backyard" their inside/outside bar with lots of bar seats, booths, outside seating, 2 fire pits with Adirondack's, glider rocker picnic tables, shuffleboard, bands on fri/sat. This place is a hidden gem overlooking the locks waterway with locally procured produce and seafood! A must stop and now our new favorite spot to stop! Beers on tap are cold and the bartenders are great! We had Jesse and Riley - they were very attentive and easy to talk to. Check out The Backyard ASAP! The views are awesome, with the beach decor and palm trees it really makes you think that you are not in Chesapeake.

I was so excited to come visit this place that yelpers posted. The place is unassuming and nice looking at it from outside. We got in early for breakfast to meet up with good friends and we were seated right away and orders taken at a good time. The place is cozy, warm and easy on the eyes. So it's a pleasant feel to begin with. Orders came soon and the service was fast and efficient. Now the food was really good. They have some low carbs breakfast and good carb just for pleasure. We all inhaled it. The food I ordered was so good I ordered one to go. After eating we went to go to the back where there's seating to eat while watching boats and water activity. That was pleasant and calming. The breeze was easy so the heat was low. It's so nice out there. The place is clean and the tables are well distanced to go around. I really like this place and I plan to come back in the near future.

Vibes- outdoor seating and bar was great. Nice breeze and beautiful views and space.Service- everyone we interacted with was helpful and friendly. Special shoutout to Tiffany who took great care of us. Drinks- got a glass of wine and Bloody Mary. My guest said it was the best bloody she's had in a while. Food- fries were good, mahi tacos needed more flavor, Maybe season the coleslaw and dish better. And the avocado salad was Fresh.

Everything was just meh - Mediocre food, mediocre atmosphere inside ...we couldn't get a table outside. My shrimp and grits were too salty, and I only got it because they could not grill or blacken my fish - it only comes deep fried. The service was good though, and can't beat $5 wine and beer during their happy hour.

We stopped by for an early dinner on 14 August. My wife had the salmon and risotto and I had the fried flounder, substituted side Caesar for the mashed potatoes. Atmosphere: have beachy - waterside joint, with a dose of sports bar and a tiny hint of elegance.Service: the star of the show. No wait at any stage. Greeted by the hostess as soon as we walked in, and seated immediately. Waitress showed up at the table within 60 seconds and took drink orders. She showed back up 2-3 minutes later with ice cold drinks. Obtw- $2.75 for a miller lite = #winning! Food: my wife loved the salmon. I'm from Louisiana and the courtbouillon is FOR REAL good. I really liked my flounder, and was glad I went with the salad.Good to great food, great service, dinner for 2 for $50. Glad we went!

This is a great location with beautiful views especially at sunset. I've been coming here for years. Usually for brunch, which is my fav, but occasionally for dinner. I went last week when the weather was nice and wanted to sit outside. Unfortunately, there was no outside availability. We decided to stay and eat in. I got the fried flounder fish sandwich, which looked amazing. However, I was a bit disappointed. It tasted like a mix of flour and panko, with little to no seasoning, and had a very thick bready coating. I ate the fries, they were really good. I ate a third of the fish, after taking a lot of the batter off, and took the rest home. Needless to say I didn't eat the rest. I will try back when the weather is warmer.

One of our favorite spots where you can count on good service and great food. Great location to sit outside in the summer. Monday night is burger night for fantastic burgers. Love the flounder sandwiches. Lots it food and seating options to suit your mood.
