Asked where they want to eat, Northern High School students almost always answer the Chesapeake Grille and Deli. Located in Dunkirk and in Bowie, most of the Grille’s menu consists of classic Maryland foods including Maryland Style Crab Cakes and dishes with the famous Old Bay seasoning in it. They also have family style foods like Mac & Cheese and their Bay-Sized Burgers.

The creamy and always delicious Old Bay Chicken & Shrimp Pasta has quickly become a favorites. This entrée combines the best of a fetucini type dish with the choice seasoning of the Chesapeake, Old Bay. With a welcoming Bay atmosphere, the Chesapeake Grille also features friendly faces serving your meal.

Although the food is great, the price may not be suitable for most unemployed teens with little money. It is certainly not a McDonald’s budget meal. Despite the somewhat pricey menu, the Chesapeake Grille and Deli is worth a visit. This friendly restaurant with good food will always be a Calvert County classic. Grade: A
