About Gene's Restaurant

Gene's Restaurant is a popular spot in the growing downtown Chester to enjoy a good "home-cooked" meal without the hassle of preparing it yourself. It is a classic small town, family-owned eatery where locals often come for delicious southern food and daily specials. The staff is super nice, friendly, helpful, and patient, ensuring quick and friendly service. The menu is reasonably priced and always features banana pudding, with options like the chicken pot pies that are highly recommended. The food is served hot, and crinkle-cut fries are perfectly crispy. The restaurant has a cozy, familiar atmosphere, and it looks much the same as it did 30 years ago, with the only difference being the NO SMOKING sign. Although the bathroom is small and not ADA accessible, overall, it is a great place to stop by, enjoy good food, and feel at home. The service is friendly and prompt, making it a favorite among many who grew up in the area, and a place where every local eats.

Highly recommended!
Pop and I came here upon the recommendation of a local
Food is great and the people there are too

I do not recommend! Came in at 10 o’clock waited over 30 minutes to get drinks and to order and after an hour and a half we will did not receive our food. Tables around us that just walked in got their food, people were already being served lunch. Cooks eating in guest view, people vaping in the kitchen, and playing with hair. Very disappointing and unsanitary. Will not be back.

Gene's is a Chester staple. If you want good country cooking with even better staff who make you feel like family, then this is the spot for you.
