Schaefer's Canal House is tucked away in the historic town of Chesapeake City, Maryland. Our establishment, while steeped with local history, is more than just a restaurant, banquet, & marina but a place where people from all walks of life come to share stories, be with friends and family, and to create new memories for the future. Patio at Schaefer’s restaurant is surrounded by many breath-taking views of the C&D Canal both from our dining room and outside veranda. Our menu is comprised of a variety of scrumptious seafood dishes. The menu is arranged to compliment the bounty of Maryland’s local waterways. Schaefer’s kitchen is staffed with chefs’ capable of producing a range of mouth-watering combinations of dishes. Of course you can enjoy one of Maryland's specialties which is the crab cake. Also for people on the go, or that want to enjoy a piece of Schaefer's in the comfort of their home, we do have a very convenient Take Out located on the lower level. Visit us Today!
