    Perfect thanksgiving dinner!Everything beautifully prepared, served cheerfully and quickly. I wish there were traditional pies to go with the traditional dinner, but we opted for amazing chocolate cake instead.

    Thanksgiving at Chester’s is great. The turkey dinner is fabulous and so is the pumpkin cheesecake. They give you a generous portion of everything so we each took home part of our meal and enjoyed it again later that evening

    The food is always delicious and the service is outstanding. The Raspberry Chicken Salad is amazing! (My favorite) You must have the Cornbread wedge (it's large so you can share this item) The Cranberry Walnut Salad is also good. I always add chicken. The Turkey Avocado Sandwich is very tasty, but a little messy. We are from Kansas City and would love to have Chester's Kitchen & Bar expand into the Overland Park, KS area. Please!!!

    Been to Chester’s many times. The food was great as usual and our server Amy was great, very responsive and friendly. The only issue was the kitchen was really slow. It took over 30 minutes to get our food. This was the exception for our visits. Highly recommend

    The cornbread, salad, and local beer combo that I ordered was delicious. Always plenty of decisions to make with their wonderful menu. And as always...just a little too loud for comfortable conversation.
