We made a reservation and were told they could accommodate our group of parents and little girls for a hockey tournament. An hour in to our wait we reminded them we needed to leave in an hour. We waited over two hours and only the kids ate - thank goodness.
I had the Cobb salad brought out and the cucumbers were shrivelled and rotten, there were three slices of the inside of a red pepper, the guacamole was brown. One of the guys used the bathroom and there was vomit all over apparently from the night before.
They eventually brought the food out in takeaway boxes as we stayed past the time we had told them. The food we did get was burnt, not the full order, and overall sucked. The Caesar salad in the wrap tasted like it was made yesterday.
Some people paid full price and we had a 50% off on the food we got which in my opinion was too much.
I would never go back here and not recommend this place.

All food is made fresh, no box food. The hand breaded chicken fingers were delicious. Definitely going back to try the onion rings! Really friendly service also!

We had heard good things about this place, but we were extremely disappointed.When we got in it was quite cold, their menu was not accurate and the food was very disappointing.The burger was overcooked and tasteless, while the fries were worse than ones from the grocery store. The poutine didn't even have real cheese curds. The only positive was the good service. Will not be back.

We went here with another couple to eat on Saturday. I was excited as their menu looked good. Lots of options (pub grub).After learning, they did not have lemons or limes in their bar for a drink, we paid for the drinks we had and we left. If you don't have these staple items in a bar, I feared for the food order experience. What else did they not have? There appeared to be only one person working in the whole place. Service a slow.At the next place, we encountered another group that saw us there and also left Chesters for the same reason. I'm sure the summer season is probably better, but not sure we'll be back to check it out.

On a day with a humidex of 42C the only place open was Chester's. Fans whirring away, we sat under one in this small dark sports bar with that small town feel. On one wall was a brief menu of appetizers and mains but no prices. Not being sure of how things operated, I approached the bar and was told there would be table service, and he came to our table. We were informed that almost all the draft ales were out of stock (because of it being the day after Labor Day ) and the menu was limited to what was on the wall (again because cause of Labor Day). He did give us a printed menu to see the prices. We ordered two Keiths and two steak sandwiches, one with fries and one with onion rings as he said the sides included were fries, onion rings or salad. The fries and onion rings, when they eventually appeared, were very good and the steak was hit or miss (some pieces excellent, some pieces rather stringy). Then came the bill - an upcharge for the onion rings that we were never told about!

Party of 5. One hour wait for food. No wine/beer list. Fish and calamari way over cooked. No spaghetti, no lemon, no mayo. 10 wings for $14 - no carrot or celery sticks. Kids chocolate milk came in a cracked glass. This place really needs to step up their game if they want to stay in business. Party of 6 beside us were equally as disappointed.

Looking for dinner at 7pm Thursday evening, walk in, waiter tells me they are on "late night" no food other than fries and nachos. ☹️Seems like they're not operating normally, either issue of no cook, or supplies not available? Weird.
The service was great, but I didn't care for the fish and chips, and I didn't like the home made tarter sauce.

Waited 1 hour plus for food.Hardly anyone in the restaurant.Poor service. Didn’t ask if we wanted refillsWhen we finally got our appetizer, it was cold.We were then told by our server that the dinner we had also ordered there was expired steak for the steak sandwich, and no wraps for fajitas.We decided to just end it and leave.Won’t be back.

DO NOT GO HERE!They ran out of food! The food that we got was subpar. No staff, only one young kid and the bartender. Another couple came in after us ordered drinks and after they got their drinks were also told that they ran out of food. They were smart and left. We definitely will not be returing anytime soon. Oh and we asked for a 9 ounce glass of wine and were told that the 9 ounce glasses were broken and they didn't have any. We definitely will not be returning to this place.

I cannot believe this place was rated #3 in Port Elgin. First off, l am one who really believes in, if you haven't anything good to say, then don't say anything. But this was just beyond unbelievable. We noticed the only staff was a bartender and one young kid serving. I specifically went there for their "famous" steak sandwich, but they were out of steak. My wife ordered the chicken fajitas and l ordered the pulled pork. A couple of women entered and sat next to our table. One of them ordered the chicken fajitas and was told they didn't have any more chicken. They were smart and left. An hour later our dinner arrived. Absolute worst pulled pork sandwich l have ever had, as it had almost as much fat as pork, and the chicken fajitas was nothing special. Obviously something going on here, was it just an off night? Either way it was bad and if your the owner, better get your act together. Only bright spot was the bartender acknowledged we weren't happy and discounted our dinner. To be honest, that was still not worth the price.

Got the coconut shrimp and meat lovers flatbread. Both were absolutely disgusting and over priced. Use to come here years ago and the place has changed a lot. Very disappointing experience. Also tried charging me for an item I never received.
