Cutlass Grille
About us
Cutlass Grille is more than a restaurant — it’s a gathering place rooted in Jamaican culture, bold flavor, and genuine hospitality...
Owned and led by Chef Shawn Dawkins, Cutlass Grille was built from a lifelong love of island cooking and a vision to create a space where people feel at home the moment they walk through the doors. Inspired by his Jamaican heritage, Shawn brings traditional flavors to life in an environment that blends great food, vibrant energy, and true community.
From the aroma of jerk on the grill to the rhythm of live bands and DJs filling the room, Cutlass Grille captures the spirit of the islands right here in Chesapeake. Whether you’re joining us for dinner, brunch, Groove on the Green, or a special celebration, you’re stepping into an atmosphere where strangers become friends and guests become family.
