This is one of the best small town bars I have been to. It has pool, good tunes and the best fried oysters!

It's a dive bar. Plain and simple. Has decent pub/tavern fare, drinks are strong & it's cash only. Very much local tavern/tourists looking to blend in. Love it.

Hands down the best breaded oysters on the planet, raw ones are on point as well, It's has amazing vibes of a true locals spot-- it's a must try

When you see old school Pioneer speakers wired to electronic jukebox you know that you can't go wrong. Plus great food.

Nice local dive serving big, fresh oysters at a wonderful value. $12 for six oysters and fries is a steal! Very friendly service as well.

Don't know where the person who wrote the last review I saw on here was eating, but I don't think it was Chester's. View from the window is straight out to the water. The waitstaff are friendly and attentive without being pushy.To top it all off...Best fried oysters EVER!I've had them from Maine to Florida, and all over the NW, these are BEST6 is too many for one person, but I managed... Would recommend you bring a friend to help you eat up, so you will be able to comfortably stand up to leave."Fried" doesn't do them justice. Brings up a mind picture of layers of thick greasy breading that could be fish or fowl or who knows what. These have a thin tasty crispness, holds the oyster together, melts in your mouth.Have one extra bite for me, please!

Delicious. However, cash-only and only those over 18 may enter.

It's cash only but there is a bank across the street with an atm.

Unbearably slow service. Took 1.5 hours for 2x deep fried chips and oysters with only 2 other tables in (also small). Food is okay, generic deep fried frozen food, nothing green, but how it takes so long to cook genuinely boggles the mind.They blatantly prioritise locals which of course always makes you feel a bit unwelcome.
