Chester's Small Town Tavern & Eatery

Excellent food. You would think you were in the city for the quality of food you get. Honey bacaon glazed cheese curds! Whoa! Grinder sandwich was great but needed more sauce. Waffle fries were great also just needed more time in the fryer. Nashville chicken sandwich with extra sauce was spot on delicious. Will definitely be back!

Good small town restaurant. The food was better than expected but should of been a hand breaded chicken fillet and no need for sauce if truly a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The waffle fries were crispy and hot with tasty seasoned sour cream. The Monte Cristo needs work. The drinks were great and everyone in our party was impressed by the great selection. The service here was definitely below average. The server was more interested in talking with the bartender and looking at her phone than her tip or customers. We had to get our own napkins, flag her down for water refills, and wait over 30 minutes before getting her to come over to get our check. Everything was good except the service which needs attention immediately to become a great establishment. Would try again.

The servers were great, the atmosphere is okay, a little cramped but the food was not great. The brussel sprouts had good flavor but way too much sauce, it was drowning in this slightly over sweet sauce. The baked potato, nothing had any flavor, the cheese sauce or the brisket. It was disappointing. And definitely disappointing for the price.

We dined at Chester's for the first time. The food was good. I recommend the loaded baked potato. It included brisket and queso...huge potato and very tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive. I'd like to return and try their breakfast.

The atmosphere is unexpected but pleasantly inviting!!! The staff was extremely courteous, and for them being new to the culinary scene, they knew their menu quite well and were quick to name their favorite dishes. Chester's specialty cocktail menu was fresh and unique to the St. Francis area. I am hoping to try their breakfast one these mornings

The combination of gooey cheese, crispy coating, sweet honey, and smoky bacon is a match made in culinary heaven. This appetizer is perfect for sharing, though you might be tempted to keep it all to yourself. **Burrito** The burrito at Chester's is a hearty, flavor-packed creation. Stuffed with a generous portion of seasoned meat, rice, beans, and fresh vegetables, it offers a satisfying meal that is both filling and delicious. The house-made zesty avocado adds a refreshing balance to the bold flavors, making each bite a delightful experience. It's a standout dish that showcases the tavern's ability to elevate classic Tex-Mex cuisine. Chester's Small Town Tavern in Saint Francis is a true hidden gem.

Super nice staff, great food! Have to keep going back to try all the things I want to try on the menu. Might be hard to find a table during peak times, but they do have a patio too! The coffee is great too!

Making this review after my 3rd visit. Started with a couple craft cocktails and took the food to go. I have been to some of the finest restaurants and bars in the state.... They do not compare. S'mores white russian with a chocolate dipped rim coated in graham crackers and toasted marshmallow on top. I warmed up my to go pot pie and would give it a full 10 star... The flaky crust was amazing, even warmed up. Went for a breakfast and the owner visited our table to ensure our service and food quality exceeded our expectations, which they did. She gave our whole table a complimentary drink and we had a great chat with her and our server who came to Chester's after 20 years at a notable restaurant in Blaine. The dedicated coffee menu was fantastic and their barista could customize your drink to order. The atmosphere is cozy and fun with good tunes playing on the touch tunes. It is a really unique place, not just for this area but for the state. If your looking for a unique menu for food and drinks this is it. They also have a lot of "regular" fare that you would expect to see on most menus if you don't feel like venturing outside your comfort zone and a full bar and a wine selection that rivals the French Riviera. Look forward to future visits and trying new things. The unfounded 1 star reviews giving no details about their experience at this venue are exactly what they are. 1 star unfounded reviews. FYI the complimentary drink had little influence on my review. If your looking for a place that leads, not follows, you will want to give this a try.
