By Jamie Alvarenga | Published February 26, 2019

You’ve probably dined at a beach side restaurant, or perhaps a lake side restaurant, but how about canal side? You can do just that at this eatery in Maryland. Once you see the following photos, you’ll want to head to this scenic and historic restaurant asap. It’s the definition of dinner with a view.

You've likely visited Maryland's famous C & O Canal, but how about the C & D Canal? The Chesapeake & Delaware Canal is located in Maryland's northeast portion, and it's a must-see at least once.

This area is home to the little town of Chesapeake City. This charming spot has a handful of restaurants that border the canal, including Shaefer's.

Schaefer's Canal House dates back decades and it only gets better with age. Here's a photo of it from the 1960s.

Like most Maryland waterside restaurants, Schaefer's serves mouthwatering seafood dishes...

...which perfectly pair with their frozen drinks.

They also serve a Sunday brunch that's full of crabby breakfast items, and a complimentary fruit, danish, and muffin station.

But what most folks come for is the view, and it's not hard to see why.

Schaefer's is perfectly nestled right along the canal, and nearly right under the Chesapeake City Bridge. This makes for a restaurant view like no other.
