I was extremely disappointed in our dining experience at Chessie’s. We were out of town guests. I had read the reviews about this restaurant, and it seemed like a good fit for our family. I knew my kids would enjoy dining on a train car! The atmosphere was fun, but the rest of the experience was not! The food was very general and nothing memorable. I had the Chessie’s pot roast special. The meat was tender, but I’m pretty sure the potatoes were from a box. My husband had the Buffalo wings. He was not impressed. The worst part was the service. Our waiter didn’t seem to understand or speak English very well. My husband and I didn’t mind this, but the server did not understand our questions, which turned out to be a problem. For example, I asked if the macaroni and cheese on the children’s menu was Kraft. The server said that it was, so I ordered it for my son. When the food came, it was definitely not kraft. The manager quickly put in an order of chicken fingers for my son. At the end of our meal, I was excited to order the carrot cake. I saw a couple of desserts as we were walking in, and they looked beautiful! When the cake came, the presentation didn’t disappoint, but that was where the excitement ended. The cake was very dry and overwhelmed by the sweetness of the frosting. This was obviously not a homemade cake. They probably bought it frozen and then made it look pretty on the plate. Besides all of this, we also discovered that our waiter seemed more interested in being on his phone than he was in helping us. We finally got tired of waiting for our bill, so we all got up. It wasn’t until we started walking that he finally put down his phone and walked towards us asking if we were ready for our check! Needless to say, if we were from this area, we would not be returning to this restaurant. Do yourself a favor, and go somewhere else!

My friends and I ate here for the first time yesterday afternoon. Between the three of us we had the Cobb salad, the coconut chicken salad, a burger, and the tenderloin sliders. All dishes very good. The only thing that was a little “off” was the coconut chicken on the salad – there was no coconut taste at all. All three of us tried it and agreed.

This restaurant is one of the best ones I’ve ever been to in my life! Every single detail is carefully planned. The flavor in the food has so many levels of complexity that make it such an amazing experience!

Christmas: Chessie’s is a holiday favorite to meet up with family or friends. The train or bar areas are beautifully decorated.

We had such a great time. We could tell each one of our meals were made from scratch. I had the Best chicken Fettuccine Alfredo I have ever had. My sister said her breaded tilapia was the Best she had ever had. …Side note, this is a great place for adults to enjoy.

Nice place to have a family dinner. Fish fry was great, but broiled fish was super dry. Clan chowder was really good. Good service and attentive staff.

We didn’t eat. But full slab rib dinner $15 on Thursdays. We went for a couple drinks. Sat outside. Nice and cozy. Service was prompt while Armando was taking care of outside and inside diners.

Took the family for a birthday dinner celebration as my husband is into history. He loved the “train car” ambience and so did everyone. Their Sweet Potato crusted salmon was tasty. Onion loaf was phenomenal. Some of us ordered the Shrimp coconut, Wedge Salad. I ordered the Strawberry Salmon salad and I like their sweet and tangy poppyseed dressing. Our daughter polished her Cedar Plank Salmon. Every food we ordered was good. Will definitely go back to have a taste of different entree. The wonderful desserts capped our dinner perfectly.

Hidden off the main street, is this awesome spot. Eat in a welcoming bar area or in an old train car. Either experience is worth it. Service is Fast and friendly. The Fettuccine Alfredo is fresh and phenomenal. I highly recommend it!

First time here, just before Christmas for a late lunch. Was a great experience! Our waitress was great and very friendly. Nice selection of beers and cocktails, we had a few Fat Tire’s. Nice salad and soup before the meal. My parents had two of the pasta’s, while I had the French Dip. All of them were delicious and very hot! Had cheesecake for dessert and it was also very good.
