Locals can also go to the Parkview Shopping Center to dine at the Crazy Buffet & Grill, the largest Asian cuisine restaurant in Chesapeake. Right next door is Eagles’ Nest Rockin’ Country Bar, a local hot spot for live music and entertainment where residents can enjoy performances by top country music artists, sing their hearts out in karaoke and dance the night away to DJ setlists.
