Chester’s has a great thing going & I am really excited for them! We stopped in last night, not knowing it was 90s night!! LOVED the music & the videos! The drinks hit the spot, my new favorite is the Scooby Snack! Food was great! I love that they chose Mediterranean/Lebanese for the after hours, it is unique, fresh & perfect paired with their cocktails!nNice & clean dining/bar area, and the owners are absolutely fabulous & full of life!nAll the luck & success to you!!

My friends and I attended a drag brunch at Chester’s and I do want to acknowledge that this is a relatively new business before I get into my experience. To start, my friend called to make a reservation. She was told the drag show was from 12-6 so a reservation was made for 2pm. The next day, she received a call from Chester’s saying a mistake was made and that the establishment is open from 12-6 but the show was from 12-2. Since they made the mistake, they would be offering us a VIP table - awesome.nnSo we get there at approximately 11:45 and we are seated in the back of the room without a clear view of the stage. Not very VIP, but whatever we were happy to be there. The drag queens walked around the restaurant during their performances so no big deal. We are approached by our waiter and given food menus but told they were out of drink menus. If I wanted to see the drinks they were written on a chalkboard by the front door. Okay, so I get up and go look at the drink menu while my two friends ordered Bloody Mary’s. I pick what I want, the waiter comes back I order my drink, we order an appetizer, and 3 entrees. My friends wait a solid 20 minutes before their Bloody Mary’s come out (not even together) but it is busy so we understand.nnThe drag show starts late. The show is okay overall, shout out to Gisele who was amazing. The place would benefit from more speakers. Since we were in the back, when the drag queens came near us the lack of speakers made the lip syncing very obvious. Also, the choice of songs were a little lackluster. Ending on Nelly Furtado’s “I’m Like a Bird” is not exactly going out with a bang.nnWhile the show is going on, tables around us are *slowly* getting their food. A table next to us has had their food, boxes, and a check by the time we get our appetizer which my friend had to ask about after about 40 minutes. At around 1:37 my two friends get their entrees. One of my friends did not get her pita bread. The waiter comes up to me and asks me what I ordered. Dude - it’s been an hour and 40 minutes since I ordered my food I don’t remember what the dish was even called at this point. My friend tells him to go ask the kitchen. He goes back to the kitchen and comes out and approaches several other tables before I flag him down and tell him what I ordered because I finally remember. He tells us “oh yeah it’s back there” and then in another breath says “it’s almost ready.” So my friend asks “so is it back there or is it almost ready?” He replies “oh it’s almost ready it will be out shortly.” Then my other friend asks for her pita bread. He says “oh you want more bread?” No dude she wants the bread she never got! She tells him politely that she never got bread. Okay. So AT 1:57 I GET MY FOOD (no pita bread for my friend). The show ends at 2. I waited an hour and 57 minutes to get my food. He brings it out and I just ask for a box. The show is over now like honestly. So at this point we are all very annoyed and have lost our understanding. The waiter comes up to us and asks us to please not let our bad service affect our opinion of Chester’s and his exact quote multiple times was “I got you.” Do you want to know what he got me?nnTHE FULL CHECK. No discount, no manager apology, no coupon for next time. NOTHING.nnThis place was clearly not ready for a larger sized event like the drag brunch. They definitely need more time to fine tune their process and certainly need more customer service training. I will say that when I ate my food AT HOME it was good so there is potential, but I am not rushing back there for sure.

Amazing staff. Good vibes all around. The dj is amazing. The drinks are always so tasty. Everyone is so down to earth. I recommend this place to everyone.

This place is cool for a couple reasons. Chesterton location is one. Nice staff is another. Sound is great unless listening to dance classics the 90s quality isn't as good so like all bass and annoying after a while. Only criticism here. Loved it otherwise.
