Court House Cafe

Larry Beberdick

July 13, 2022. it has been a few years since we have been to Courthouse Cafe. Before the pandemic we were regulars. We heard that they changed ownership, so we were a bit apprehensive to see what changed. This is a neighborhood place that doesn't require reservations, but it gets crowded fast, so reservations are suggested. We arrived at 5:45 without a reservations and were seated right away, but at the last table available. Isiah was our server, and did a great job. The menu has changed. Before it was in the form of a court document, blue trifold paper with menu inside. now the menu are inside of plastic sheets, easier to sanitize. There are a few changes to the contents of the menu as well. They used to have a Flat Iron steak that was very tasty, it has been replaced with a New York cut. (note, the Flat Iron steak is still on the website menu). My wife ordered her favorite, the Queen cut Prime rib WELL DONE, with side salad, Baked potato and mixed vegetables. Everything was perfect, even the extra butter as requested. I ordered the fried shrimp and oysters. Very good. The oysters are smaller than i remembered, but very tasty and the shrimp was very large and butterflied, very good, side salad with house made ranch and a baked potato. All very good. My only issue is that the breading fell off the seafood, but not a hindrance in eating. We ordered desert (you can always box your entree), wife ordered the carrot cake, it looked very small, single layer with cream cheese frosting, she said it was good. I ordered the cherry cobbler with ice cream. cobbler was OK, but way too much crust, and the crust was tough, not flaky at all. All in all a good meal at a reasonable price, we only had water to drink and the bill was $58.00 before tax and tip. If the new variant doesn't cause another life interruption, we will be back as regulars again.

The staff was quite friendly and very attentive as I arrived right when they opened. I ordered the daily special of the day which was the fried fish with green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy. The fish was really good as we're the potatoes, though the green beans were very bland. However, I will visit again at some point because there were other items on the menu I also wanted to try.

One of the best fish sandwiches around. My friend ordered the She- crab soup which she said was delish. Waitresses are super friendly and we received stellar customer service. A hidden gem in Great Bridge.

This place is pretty great! It’s definitely old school! Food is good! Good selection of drinks! And the staff is friendly! Only small complaint is large table is kinda cramped with walk way, but it is a pretty small place. This is another hidden gem of Chesapeake! We will definitely go back.
