A great meal! Their prime rib is great. French fries great. Atmosphere is what Chester used to be all about. This is a hidden gem.

Early St Patty's Day lunch before it got crazy. Guinness tasted weird. Irish stew meat was hard and fatty and fish was like warm. Chicken wings came out raw. Ordered a bowl of soup, waitress brought a cup. No need to return.

Nice, cozy spot, family restaurant with a nice bar. My daughter loved her ziti with meatball. My wife really enjoyed her chicken over pasta, and I was surprised by the quality of the prime rib king cut. The prime rib was fresh, tender, and juicy. It was a bit under seasoned, but it didn't matter at all. The quality of the meat was really impressive. There was no photo of dessert, but the apple crisp was warm and delicious.

Wait staff was attentive and helpful with suggestions. We had prime ribs and eggplant parm, all prepared to our liking. Cheese cake for dessert, apparently homemade, was nice and lite and really hit the spot.

It’s pretty obvious that most of the food is frozen. It’s not very good, and the food isn’t very

Instant mash potatoes and frozen veg. spent 31$ on thanksgiving dinner there. The prime rib was on point, but 1 bite into the mash I knew they were instant. Gravy tasted of flour. talked with wait staff, because there was no manager and they all said "yes, the mash is instant". The staff were all awesome and friendly but food, never again. The place could be a gold mine if only someone actually cared. tweak the lighting and modern the paint. Find a new kitchen staff and have a consistent menu. No way the place is making money.

Sometimes people forget a classic. Everything is so trendy and upcoming. I've been eating here for 25 years with a 15 year gap due to being out of the are. First meal back was like I never left. The food is absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! I've worked in over 50 restaurants in my life and it's still top 3. Please go try it soon. The owners have been around for 60 years and this quality will change after they sell. Go now!!!!

Our first visit here was a great one! We went at an odd time, so had the place to ourselves. Specials were great, service was great, and atmosphere was your classic bar and grill. Lots of rich dark wood. Had a nice chat with the owner and got a rundown of the history of the building. We will definitely be back!!!
