Since opening our doors in 1979, Chadwicks has been more than just a restaurant—it’s been a gathering place where friends, families, and neighbors come together. Housed in a historic 19th-century warehouse along Alexandria’s waterfront, we’ve built a reputation for comfort food done right, a welcoming atmosphere, and service that feels like home.
