    Overall this was great. Perfectly cooked burger with amazing creative tots—maybe corn flour coating, creamy maybe cheesy interior. Really good. Perfect lettuce wraps. We came to celebrate my birthday with their amazing chocolate cake with a pitcher of fudge frosting and this was written on our reservation. Before the dessert arrived someone (manager?)stopped by our table to ask if it really was my birthday. I assured him it was and we came for the cake. Even after he stopped by we were charged for the cake. There is nothing that says a restaurant must comp you a dessert on your birthday on the other hand I have always received something when celebrating in a restaurant. I showed my drivers license to the person who stopped by our table as we were leaving and he said he believed it was my birthday. Then why did he stop by our table? I am confused by this disappointing end to an otherwise great dinner.

    As always Chester's did not disappoint on Easter Sunday. It was nice to have a special selection of offerings in addition to the regular menu. The food was fantastic!

    It had been over a year since I last ate at Chester's. A friend and I had dinner there on a Friday night. Our server was very friendly, efficient, and attentive. I had the filet mignon cooked medium. It's in my top 10 best steaks I've eaten. Their smoked gouda hashbrowns are always wonderful.
