Chesapeake House is the middle one of three welcome centers on I-95 between Baltimore and Newark, Del. We stopped here driving from Virginia to Pennsylvania. Centrally located between the northbound and southbound roadways, the Chesapeake House is easily accessed from the left lane. It is bright and airy with a food court, a convenience market, and table seating in the central open area. There are rest rooms, an information center, large parking lots, and EV charging stations.. A nearby gasoline station services traffic in both directions. read more

Chesapeake House - Exterior - Sandwiches Near Me - North East, Maryland

It's okay to stop, stretch, get gas, and use the rest room. But beware, the Dunkin here isn't a real Dunkin. They don't use the Dunkin app and they do not offer some of the more basic menu items, like decaf drip coffee. And what's worse, the Duncanistas are tooo slow and don't seem to know what they're doing. Not sure about the other food places, but I'd be careful and understand these may not be up to par with a standalone franchise. Rest Rooms were average though plentiful, but there was a woman sitting in there staring down all visitors, which was weird. Not sure if she was an attendant, but she didn't clean just sit and stare. read more

Women's restroom was disgusting at 6:27 AM on Monday, January 5 Half the facility was closed for cleaning, but there was absolutely no attendant present or cleaning going on. On the side that was open, every single toilet stall was clogged with paper, had paper on the floor, and the toilets looked like they had not been flushed for days . read more

Chesapeake House - Women's toilet, Chesapeake House rest stop, 637am, January 5, 2026. - Sandwiches Near Me - North East, Maryland

This is a good place to stop, stretch, and get gas, however the women's restroom was disgusting. The whole thing smelled like urine, there was hair and paper towels all over the floor, hair in the sink, and there were multiple toilets completely clogged. The whole bathroom is outdated and felt dirty. I do not recommend this for a rest stop, I would hold it and go somewhere else. read more

A good place for a rest stop however I can truly say I was rather repulsed at the restrooms here. The women's restrooms had a terrible odor, less than half the stalls were in functioning order, not to mention 3 stalls when you opened will clogged and filled with someone's business which was truly disgusting. The men's room had a thick coating of mud and dirt and garbage all over it. For an indoor rest stop it was less than ideal for using the restroom. Especially looking newly renovated for the building itself. There are quick food options for snacking and or fast food and coffee shops. The area is more so ideal to stop from driving, stretch your legs, and hold your breath to use their facilities. I'd recommend holding it and going to the next rest area if you can. read more

Chesapeake House - Parking lot - Sandwiches Near Me - North East, Maryland

We stopped by this place for lunch as we were heading to DC. Inside was clean and there were various restaurants to choose from like Earl of Sandwich, Wendy's, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc. We choose Earl of Sandwich as the healthier option. We waited in line for a bit and ordered 4 sandwiches: vegggie sandwich for my mom, 2 Chipotle chicken avocado sandwiches for my dad and I and my husband got the Original. I liked my sandwich. It was decent and had good flavor. My mom said her sandwich barely had any cheese. It was supposed to have some. I think my dad and Michael enjoyed theirs too. The bathrooms were clean and decent. Overall, I stop there again. read more

I had not stopped at the Chesapeake House since its 2014 renovation, until summer 2025, when we had to drive from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., our flight being rebooked to the former after cancellation to the latter. I jot this note to express my surprise at a great renovation of the exterior. I must have visited this facility a couple of dozen times between 1984 and 1988, when I was quite a bit younger than half the age I am now (indeed, two thirds further life experience had elapsed between 1984 and 2014, as I play with the math). I always wanted to be an architect. I continue to believe design can make us better, as individuals and as communities; or, it can make us worse. Our built spaces can promote more positive feelings, or the opposite. A simple example would be offices that allow greater interaction among colleagues versus those that do not. In this instance, the clean contemporary aesthetic of the facade gave me hope. Once I was inside, I was concerned that the open floor plan would present the same issue as the shared space, with few walls and fewer windows of the elementary schools newly built when I was a kid, the few walls leading to excessive noise and the fewer windows a function of the energy crisis. On the whole, however, the new Chesapeake House is a tasteful improvement of what I recall of the preceding structure. That was garish. Yet I realize in another generation, what appeals to me might seem fusty or simply of its time. I commend the firm, Ayers Saint Gross. They also have installed a memorial honoring women who have served in the US military. That is great. It was just before the Chesapeake House opened, in 2013, that the combat exclusion was formally rescinded. Among the most persuasive arguments against the gender discrimination was an invocation of practice, which sometimes carries the day in an assist to principal. Women were already on the battlefield, exposed to the same risks to life and limb, but the technical titles for their roles precluded them from the same career advancement. read more

Well, it's time for another re-model. Stopped here for a bathroom break and picked up some take out fast food. Not a great place but needed! read more

This is a Maryland service plaza on I-95 between Baltimore and the Delaware border. I-95 is not a controlled access roadway, so this is the kind of plaza you would see on a turnpike. One stop, lots of options. Pizza, burgers, coffee, chicken, sandwiches, convenience store, gas station and EV chargers. It's all here in this one stop. Plenty of parking though not much for shade. If it's a hot and sunny day, you're not going to have a comfortable time taking a 20 minute snooze. Lots of lights but it is very transient traffic. As always, be especially aware of your surroundings, lock your doors and leave nothing in sight. [Review 15349 overall, 851 of 2021, number 612 in Maryland.] read more

It's a rest stop on 95. You need it when you need it. You don't want to stop but you either have to get coffee, go to the bathroom, or fill up the tank of gas or charge your electric car. It is a necessary place. Not the cleanest, but it is better than some options on the road to NYC. I came here to charge my car and use the restrooms. The inside has a ton of light because of the large windows that is here, but it can make this place seem larger. There is always someone cleaning here, but too many people come through so it is never really clean. It is tolerable, but again, you need this place. read more

Pretty much a state of the art interstate way station on I-95 in Maryland. Modern design with high ceilings and loads of glass to let in natural light. Only a few vendors highlighted by Peets Coffee, a big improvement over that green mermaid. Large restrooms that could use more attention. I've already forgotten which of those ubiquitous burger places is in house. But, that doesn't really matter as they are basically all the same. Quick in and out on the way to somewhere. read more

A great place to stop for a break driving in I95! The rest stop has plenty of parking as well as electric car chargers. The rest stop and bathrooms were clean. Lots of seating is available. Several fast food options, Starbucks and a grab and go section gave lots of options. Souvenirs are also available. The best part is a little section with all Maryland products. They had samples of different varieties did ciders and jellies. Great if you forgot to o'clock up a souvenir on your trip. I would recommend both the cider and the jelly! read more

Awesome and clean. Decent selection of shops but all good shops. Pizza hut, kfc, Wendy's, Pete's coffee etc love it.. just takes a long time in all shops ! Billing is crazy . Especially on a weekend or peak times . Better to take an exit and have a coffee or food in exits . Overall a good experience... read more

Ugh. Disappointing sandwich. Thought we would try a $12 from this place and it was bad. No flavor. The bread is awful too. Asked for L&T and they forgot to add it on. Don't bother. Stick to Wendy's. read more

For as many rest stops as I've been to this one's pretty upscale and has everything we needed from food to clean bathrooms suveniers and lottery tickets The only thing we had an issue with is the prices for everything was to expensive! read more

Nice and clean rest stop. This lady, not sure manager or not, was walking around making sure everyone was alright and good. I like that friendly greeting.

"Are we there yet?" Great travel pit stop! This rest stop had everything! Several restaurants, and organic shop, a convenience store, massage chairs to rest your achy bones, decent restrooms, lots of seating and parking, a coffee shop, a newsstand, maps, brochures, gasoline and more. But one of my fav things to find at one of these roadside hubs is a penny press! My kids and I love to put a penny in the slot, along with the 50 cents charge, then turn that crank to get a souvenir of where we've been! Silly but fun! I have tons of pressed pennies! For a cheap thrill, this just makes "cents"!! We grabbed sandwiches at Earl of Sandwich and what a perfect choice. The sandwiches are made fresh, they have big portions, the price is right too! While traveling I tend to shy away from greasy fast foods, but if that's your thing, they have a Wendy's, Pizza Hut and a KFC. Grab a cup of java at Peet's Coffee for that last home stretch! The organic deli was a welcome sight. It was nice to have various shops to appeal to diverse travelers. The beet chips looked appealing and the natural foods looked delicious! I picked up some items at the convenience store as well, the lines moved fast and the service was friendly and courteous. They offered toys and games for kids to keep them occupied on those long trips! They sold lots of snacks, fruits, beverages and grab-and-go prepared foods. Plus they had various sundries that come in handy while traveling: gum, OTC pain meds and first aid items, sunglasses, tissues, etc. The restrooms were pretty clean for the amount of traffic they get. I was impressed by the many employees cleaning, clearing tables, emptying bins and restocking. Lots of neon vested busy bees! Good job! Chesapeake House is at the peak of rest stop comfort! read more

Chesapeake House - Lobby with restaurants. - Sandwiches Near Me - North East, Maryland

This is the first rest stop when entering MD from Delaware. They have a small MD visitor center. (Self serve) Building is circular & was bright with plenty of light. Restaurants are on the edges and seating in the middle. Earl of Sandwich, Peet's coffee, Aunt Annie's, KFC & Pizza Hut. Some massage chairs & ample sized restrooms that were clean. Not a huge rest stop, wasn't crowded on a Wednesday afternoon & ok for a quick break. read more

Chesapeake House is an example of what a rest stop should be. The bathrooms are clean, there's plenty of space for dogs to walk and go, and the food options are highly more delicious than most areas. There's Wendy's, Earl of Sandwich, Auntie Ann's pretzels and a few others that I don't remember at this point. I was able to change my baby without worrying about what germs lie around (1. Because I used a diaper pad and 2. The bathrooms were clean) so that alone is good enough for four stars. Expect the large crowds- it's on 95 and a nice stop- so have some patience and carry on. read more

Stopped here on my way to Atlantic City for the annual Teddy Stacks-Gerry Sip Birthday Weekend. This is one of the several rest stops on I-95 on the way north, and it has a gas station, as well as a large building that has rest rooms, and several food stores as well. In terms of accessibility, it is very good, with the gas station located on one end of the property with a convenience store. I would say this is good in terms of not bottlenecking traffic and parking, but if you are looking to get convenience store items, you have to hit both. In terms of the large building with the food, there is a KFC/Pizza Hut, Sandwich shop, and sub station as well. The areas are well-handled and the whole place is lit by natural sunlight. There is also an outdoor seating area, Bathrooms are also very clean. I did just about everything here in a short period of time to keep things moving. read more

This is my FAVORITE rest stop between VA and Phili. I've been here more times than I can count my fingers and toes. I love the sizzling hot pizza and breadsticks from Pizza Hut. The pretzel at Auntie Anne's is sometimes a bit stale, it's really a hit or a miss. I always enjoy the coffee from Pete's. With a large selection of sandwiches, fried food, pizza, snacks, and beverages, Chesapeake House is a nice pit stop that's not too crowded like the Maryland House. read more

This LEED Silver-certified rest stop off the JFK Memorial Highway offers variety of eats, souvenir-shopping, and fueling/electric vehicle charging stations. Definitely a busy stop for road trippers and travelers, the bathrooms could be more cleaner. Usually, the sink areas are strewn with wet and used paper towels, and the toilet stalls are a mess with toilet paper on the floor and on the seats. You either need to go further down to the less-used stalls vs the ones near the entrance/exit area. The place is vibrant and always packed, especially since the food court area has a variety. There are also a good amount of tables and chairs for those who'd like to eat before going on their way. Plenty of parking spots in the lot and easy accessible off the highway. +bathrooms could be cleaner +variety of eateries +easy accessibility from highway read more

Finally, a modernized rest room facility like it 2016 on I95. The rest rooms are clean. Better than stopping at one of the bathrooms at the gas stations. What a relief? No funky smell nor washing your shoes. Yikes. This is a busy rest stop and many tourist and travelers stop here. Be careful driving in. There was a personnel directing traffic cause it was so congested. People are in such a rush and drive like maniacs here. Take it easy peeps and slow down. As you look at the place from the outside from the parking lot, I feel as if I am going to the airport. The building is modern and contemporary. Many eateries all lined up like at a mall-food court or airport. Let me tell you the food is totally overpriced. Sandwiches are the same at Peet's and the other stores. The sliced avocado was already brown- yuck. I only stopped there to use the bathroom which were clean and there were so many stalls. Then we went elsewhere for late lunch/dinner. Massage chairs once you head in. Relief $1.00 for the first 3 minutes. read more

8am - Chesapeake House IS OPEN! (Despite the closed, opening at 10am post.) New, Clean Rest-area, much more manageable for families w/ kids & teens (versus huge Cavernous Maryland House. As u enter there are lounging recliners to relax in, massage chair optional. Bathrooms at 8:30am on Wednesday before Thanksgiving were NOT yet cleaned this morning, luckily there are 40 stalls in the ladies room! Hmmm, I'm reminded of a lyric! "I got 10 bathrooms, I can sh-t all day!" Wheezy F. Baby! Most interesting feature... the ladies room, has an emergency back door, facilitating quick escapes from the law, certain family... where was this design when I was married?!

It gets the job done! It's nothing compared to the Maryland house, but it has all the creature comforts. I normally stop at the MH but I didn't really feel like parking far and walking up 23 steps. So I drove the extra miles to the Chesapeake House. The Chesapeake House has both men and women bathroom facilities with plenty of food options. I think I saw BK and Wendy's. Nothing for me because I don't eat fast food. They may have had a sandwich shop or news store. I was in and out. I saw auntie Anne's and some generic coffee place. If you are traveling North it's worth the stop. read more

Like many other rest stops, Chesapeake House does the trick when you don't feel like veering off the highway for a quick meal or restroom. CH looks renovated and fresh. It also can look crowded during peak times. I traveled through on my way from NJ to DC. It was on the first leg of the drive and not too far over the Delaware border. You'll probably find a fast food spot to grab a bite. I chose Earl of Sandwich mostly because I had not heard of it before and also wanted a sandwich. Wendy's is next door but the line was pretty nutty. Their parking lot is easy to navigate but can be busy. Just be extra careful entering/exiting in case there's some weary pedestrians around. read more

This is one of my Top 3 places to stop in my (sadly) all-too-frequent drive between Boston and Washington DC: lots of parking that actually makes sense (the traffic patterns in some rest areas are complicated), ladies room is clean (and has paper towels, I hate those blower things), and the convenience store has loads of things and one of the sweetest ladies ever working there (Virginia J). Virginia rules that place in her sweet grandmotherly way! The only "con" are the seagulls which sometimes lurk in the parking lot... beware of those damn things which pooped on me once and I had two hours left of my drive...with gross poop on my shirt. read more

The Chesapeake House Travel Plaza has really gone downhill in the last couple of years.
