Restaurants in Chester

“Fresh, delicious a very friendly atmosphere! Just what we needed in this area. Can’t wait to tell the family!”

“What a fun, local gem!! Being in New Jersey and unexpectedly needing breakfast, I checked out a few reviews and everyone loved the Mini Mac Diner. After going to see for myself, I could understand why they did.

I was greeted from the counter (and a few smiles from the rest of the room) when I entered, and the pleasant camaraderie continued throughout my meal. I settled on an omelet (without potatoes and toast at my request) and a side of bacon that was made quickly and deliciously. The lady running the counter and the lady cooking in the back were both cheerful, interactive, and kind. Everyone in the room seemed happy to be there, especially the three girls in the corner who had previously created a TikTok about the charms of the Mini Mac Diner.

A quick note: the Mini Mac Diner is cash only, so come prepared, and enjoy this local, one-of-a-kind treat!!”

“The food is awesome on both sides! Shabo and family are wonderful hosts! We love NY Pizza and Monte Casa!”

“Bill's makes great food at an affordable price & the staff is very friendly. Worth a visit 👍”

“The young girl at the register…I think her name was Megan. She was very friendly and helpful. I couldn’t decide which smoothie to order and she helped me decide. She knew the menu so well…I was very impressed with her ‘Playa Bowl’ knowledge.”

“Totally enjoyed the fish tacos and nachos, especially knowing they have a dedicated fryer for gluten free people like me.”

“The sea bass is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten!!! lovely flavor!!!

The people are amazing and make you feel like you are part of the family.”

“La comida y la atención están muy bien al igual que la decoración. La tienda es espectacular. Lo que no nos gustó fue la música. Se supone que es un restaurante típico mexicano, entonces debería tener musica mexicana.”

“Fantastic home cooking, relaxing environment, friendly staff, ...quite simply a happy place to be!”

“An excellent choice for your next catered party or take out dinner. Chef owner Kevin has a wonderful selection of fabulous dishes to choose from. They offer a unique selection of imported goods as well. Artista is local treasure in Chester!”

“Food is Really Good. Nice Place.”

“We live in Morristown but needed to go to Chester today. We found this gem of a restaurant and had a flavorful lunch. We will make this a destination in the future.”

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍”

“Great little tavern. Food was good and they get a decent size portion. Friendly waitress”

“Thank you so much for our order for the Hackettstown Women of the Moose! The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was packed and ready to go on time. Unbeatable service and food!”

“The biscotti are to die for delicious. I was visiting friends in Chester and saw these in ShopRite. The girls said Linda was a neighbor so I bought a package to bring home to Arizona. So soft and nutty and chocolaty. Absolutely great . Love this”

“PEANUT ALLERGY FAMILY!! Let me start off by saying I love love loved the ice cream here from day 1. The staff is wonderful and super attentive, but last night was above and beyond. I went for dessert with my oldest son and wanted to bring some back for my 8 month old to share with me. We just discovered my 8 month old has a peanut allergy and we aren’t sure what other nuts he might be allergic to yet. I told the staff all of this. The gentleman who made my order went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that ice cream was safe to share with him (of course I know there are no guarantees when you are eating out). I can’t tell you how much that meant to me since allergies like this are new to my family and I. I cannot thank them enough!! They gained a customer for life.”

“El Monte is great!! We love your coffee!! 😍Everything is delicious too! You should have a sign on Main Street pointing down Perry St so more people can enjoy your amazing coffee and treats! 🙂”

“Great dinner! Great service,,”

“Beautiful inside. Food and service was Wonderful! 100% recommend!”

“The place is open every day until 9pm. It has decent food. The cheese pizza was pretty good but the buffalo chicken pizza is a pass. Also there is a different price for cash versus card. Two slices of pizza and a drink were $10.”

“Best sub sandwiches. Friendly staff!”

“The pozole roja was the best I've had in a while. The past 3 restaurants were nowhere near as good as 5 brothers pozole. The pork tacos, the same. Pork was crispy and well made. Everything impressed me. My new go to for Mexican food in the area.”

“Best coffee around. Love the baked goods ❤️”

“LOVE EVERYTHING about Marilyn’s Cafe! Food, service, atmosphere and not bothered at all about their cash only policy. Had our first breakfast visit yesterday and know we will be back again real soon to explore lunch.”

“Good Food. Very nice servers, but the owner is terrible. Not a nice person.”

“Quality American Chinese cuisine! The family or folks that run it are good people, always treat my son kindly and always offering things. I love seeing multi generational workers in family establishments.”

“Food was amazing … Fast and delicious”

“We love Chester Bagel & Deli - These guys are awesome! Whether a full blown lunch, sandwich or a bagel with a schmear of creme cheese, it’s all delicious and made by the nicest people anywhere.......Yum! Thanks you guys, we thoroughly enjoyed the tray of sandwiches and pastries and bagels so very good.”

“I stopped for the Happy Hour Latte Special. The woman who waited on me (Shift Leader, I think) was friendly, professional, and polite. She made sure my drink was made to order, even though it was on sale. We enjoyed friendly chat about the impending weather, and all was good! 🙂”
