Our first visit and as advertised their Buffalo chicken wings were awesome. An old school bar with that Sunday NFL ambiance. The service was also very personable. Nice we will be back. read more

This was by far the best burger I've had in a long time. "The California". I would name it differently but definitely it was great. To top it off, this place was run by the finest. Hospitality "A+". Will be going back regularly! read more

I really like this place great burgers and wings. Very nice bar area to watch sports, great service. The owner works so hard and she does a great job!!!! read more

Was here with people from work, the drink was very strong, maybe the cucumber mint martini is supposed to be I don't know.The nachos were different, very bland def not even close to anything resembling authentic (not that I expected authentic just I don't know more to it maybe?) the calamari was mushy. I got the special steak bowl and I wasn't impressed, it wasn't awful but it wasn't great just meh. Maybe they are better with simple like burgers??? read more

The vibe here is right out of Cheers, Instead of Norm they the "Mayor" (aka Big Tom) sits at the end of the bar say hi he will never "forget your name" The wings and burgers are the best I have ever had. read more

We had a mini college reunion and chose Chelseas as a good travel midpoint for our group and because of the varied menu options. From arrival to departure, we were treated fantastically. Ana, our server, was super friendly and helpful. She even customized some of our food choices, and everyone enjoyed their selections. The atmosphere was lively, but not too noisy to interfere with our conversations. We definitely enjoyed the food and service and would love to return next time we are in the area. read more

My husband ordered the bourbon salmon and I had the chicken parm. Both were delicious! The staff is warm and welcoming, and the overall vibe is very relaxing. Visit Chelsea's, you won't be disappointed! read more

This was the absolutely worst dinner we have had in ages. The staff were friendly and nice but the food was terrible. I ordered a club soda and the lime wedge was covered in mold. We ordered wings onion soup, the chipotle pasta and a taco salad. We paid and left with 90% of the food on the table. The wings were as dry as a bone, the taco salad came with like a can of olives despite my partner requesting no olives at our order, french onion soup tasted of straight vinegar, and the pasta sauce smelled rancid. Literally nothing was worth it read more

When I worked in Whitehouse Station back in the late 2000s, Chelsea's was part of our lunch rotation. When we were looking at buying a house in the area, we stopped by Chelsea's for a late lunch/early dinner. To me, the inside has a bit of an "olde tyme" pub feel. I had the California burger which comes with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayonnaise. The staff was very friendly. When we went, there was only one or two staff on the floor, which was fine as there was only one other table occupied while we were there. read more

I've passed by this restaurant/tavern thousands of times over the nearly two decades since I moved out here to Warren County, Hunterdon County and never realized that there has been this great restaurant nearby on US-22 all this time. The menu is amazing here and they don't mind customizing your favorite food like my chili with the diced red onions and sour cream. I liked everything so much that I decided to make this restaurant my choice for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. They offered a full array of gourmet menu foods for a special Thanksgiving meal until 5:00 PM including some of the biggest colossal jumbo shrimp I've ever eaten. The bartenders are all cool and provide excellent service and the ambience is classic Irish tavern with a chill looking little Bulldog as their mascot/restaurant logo. This place is one of the better eateries here in Hunterdon County for sure. read more

Worth a stop. This little restaurant is a sweet reminder of how things used to be. The atmosphere of the interior is cozy, and it holds some cool old beer advertisements and a neat old wooden bar! If you come to know the incredibly friendly locals and the owner, you're in for quite the fun time if you visit this place regularly! Very empty at times, so I hope this review can revive it! The food is where this place really shines. -The fries are consistent, -Their cheesesteaks are the best in this area -Their wraps are spectacular However, the beer is always carbonated perfectly, and their selection of bottles and cans is unmatched. Bathrooms- 5/10 Food- 9.7/10 Beer- 10/10 Service- 10/10 Cons: -The area around the bar smells of urine sometimes (a given) - The bathrooms in general are weirdly laid out. read more

I was so looking forward to trying Chelsea's for their Wings. They claim on their sign out front they are award winning and the best wings in Hunterdon county. NOT EVEN CLOSE! This was my first time here and I noticed they were very short staffed. There was quite a few of us waiting in the hallway for someone to come out and seat us or take our names. We waited a good 15-20 minutes before the hostess came out. The restaurant had quite a few empty tables. Once seated, our server John was very pleasant. He took our drink order and our drinks were very good. We then put in an order for 2 French Onion Soups. The French Onion Soup was very good. It had lots of flavor and was piping hot the way I like it. We then put in our order for 10 Buffalo Wings Medium heat, and 2 orders of their Basket of Fried Chicken. Our Basket of Fried Chicken came out first. It too was very good and cooked correctly. We were halfway through our meal and I asked John our server where our wings were. He said he would go check on it. It took another 10 minutes to get the wings. My bf took a bite, then I took a bite. We both noticed that the wings were very dry, chewy and overcooked. The buffalo sauce was supposed to be medium hot and it tasted very watered down nothing close to what a buffalo wing should be. We were both so very disappointed and decided not to eat the wings or take them home. THEY WERE THAT BAD! We brought this to John our servers attention. His comment was "next time you come back we'll try and make the wings better."The wings were not even large, just average in size. Totally not worth it. He never offered to take it off our bill. We chalked it up to disorganization. If we decide to come back it certainly won't be for the wings,they were just HORRIBLE! FYI- our background is in culinary cooking! read more

I was in town for business and was looking for a local establishment and found Chelsea's. It looks like an older home instead of a restaurant and bar, which it is, but it was pretty cute. I went in and straight to the bar on the right side, so I didn't really get to see much of the inside, other than the host area. It sounded like there were some staff issues and that there may have only been two people working. There was a nice gentleman who was working the bar, as well as running some drinks to the other areas. There was a woman who apparently was doing the cooking. She was talking to some of the customers about it, which is how I learned that. Though I prefer not to hear about the internal issues of eating establishments, all things considered, they were working their butts of and it was still quite enjoyable! The food was good and came out in a timely manner. I ordered a panini that had Turkey, apples, Brie cheese and apricot jam. So yummy!! Even the coleslaw was good, if you like coleslaw. There was a couple that came in later and the guy seemed a little...brash. He asked the bartender to lower the lights because they were too bright. It sounded like the bartender was going to, but, luckily, he did not...I was reading a book, so I was very grateful for that. Hopefully this place can work out their staff issues, but if I lived in the area, I can definitely see myself being a regular. An important note is that their hours on Yelp don't match their actual hours. They close at 9, not 11! read more

Thanks for the reply. However, maybe a little explanation while we sat there like furniture while your wait staff walked by, without even a glance, would have helped. If you remember, I'm sure your host does, we had to ask for a server... and receipts don't lie read more

All the years of living locally and never tried here until recently. What a mistake, I should tried it years ago. The food is excellent. The place is small, the staff is sometimes a little slow, but very friendly. Be patient and enjoy the great food. read more

Bartender and waitresses are very slow, food is horrendous and nothing but obnoxious construction workers who are loud and foul mouthed, the day bartender was very rude and flirtatious. Disgusting environment read more

I have no idea how this places stays in business. horrible frozen food, high price, dirty & terrible service. nothing good about this place!

Great local ambiance Bar food Drinks and local feel I can go alone and feel like I have friends read more

Took me a long time to eat here but glad I finally did. Great spot for the family and good selection of food. Bar pies are very good.

Best French onion soup around, and that's saying ALOT ! get it with meatballs- PHENOMENAL... They use the onions that are cooked underneath their prime rib And their wings... No lie the BEST. they're huge... Like from a pterodactyl! Sorry I've lived in the area so long before going... Getting the prime rib next time read more

Fun local place, food was good, bar tender (owner) super friendly. Will be stopping back when in town for work.

Loved the exceptional service. The host and the waitress were super friendly. The restaurant was mostly empty which made it very COVID friendly. Wings were definitely a top notch. I'm a wing aficionado so not the best wing I've ever had but up there in my top 5 list for sure. read more

Chelseas Restaurant and Pub - Medium Buffalo wings - New American Near Me - Lebanon, New Jersey

Stopped by here for dinner on a road trip down south. The restaurant itself has your typical bar/restaurant feel. The AC seemed to be struggling a bit that day, so it was kind of sticky inside but overall not terrible. The hostess seemed a bit short with the customers, however our waitress was very friendly. Menu had standard bar food items, but a decent amount to choose from. I had the pretzel burger which was average. Prices seemed fair too. Not a bad stop if you're in the area. read more

I don't think I've ever had a 'bad' prime rib...until tonight at Chelsea's. Overcooked and chewy, the waitress's reply was " I'll yell at the cook for you". Not sure if she was trying to be funny or not. The wings they claim were "voted the best in NJ" we're ok, certainly not close to being the best. But they aren't bad either. Cheeseburgers looked good, I should have ordered that but who knows. Replying to Maria B's reply: I believe you were the waitress. No thanks, this visit was me coming back after a couple years. read more

We stopped by this nice roadside pub on our way back from wine tasting. Located right on RT 22 it makes for a easy in / out. Once inside they have a small bar area, a dinning room, and what looks like a covered deck area. We sat at the bar and took advantage of the football specials which are the same as happy hour specials (M-F 4-7). $2 yuengeling drafts, $6/12 wings among others $5 chilli fries. The beer was poured right to the rim, wings were good but not spicy, and the chili fries were also good. Definitely canned chili but still good. We were expecting more of an English pub atmosphere and menu, so we were a bit surprised not to see more of that. My husbands menu was splattered with food particles and the food server and bartender didn't communicate very well. The food server was mumbling under her breath and looking for what table ordered what food on every run out of the kitchen. Hopefully with a little bit of training and management this place could really be a great place to go. read more

The wings and wedge salad were a 5. My wife said the blackened shrimp was also a 5. Overall got knocked down to 4 as the draft beer list was, well sub par. They need to get some local craft rotating on tap. Maybe was too close to restricted re-opening to bring higher end stuff in. Hank makes a great LI Iced tea too! read more

We were at the pub this evening and the bartender was very obviously disregarding our presence. We felt as though the parties accompanying us were being tended to with much more care and urgency. When we first arrived there was no host to seat us, therefore we took matters into our own hands and sat ourselves. Menus were never given and we had to personally request them. The staff at the pub made us feel like we were being a burden to them. When I presented my valid ID the bartender made off putting comments to me about my age. After ten minutes of my partner waiting for a glass of water we decided to leave the pub. Very poor hospitality. Would not recommend. 0/10. read more

I have passed this joint by many times and the usual thought goes through my head. Someday I'll stop in. Today was the day. A nice spot it seems and one that should be more popular. Chelsea's serves some really good eats. Friendly staff. I had a dozen medium Buffalo wings and fries. My son had a meat lovers Pizza. A to go jerk chicken wrap and fries for my wife. The wings were delicious and crispy. They could have used about thirty seconds less time in the fryer. But they were really good. I'll try the hot next time. The fries were well done and delicious. My son's pizza was full of meat-sausage pepperoni etc. He loved it. My wife's wrap was excellent. Great spicy chicken. Avocado and mango. Very thoughtful. A quick note. The guy behind me ordered a dozen clams on the halfshell. They looked great, well presented and the guy eating them seemed quite pleased. Hope this place gains popularity. We really enjoyed it. read more

Went for Prime Rib dinner last night - excellent as always as were the drunken clams. Great atmosphere and owner is always friendly and cares about the quality of the food. read more

6.50$ for a dozen wings on Wednesday nights can't be beat! You can split the dozen into two sauces so I got two dozen and tried the honey mustard, jerk, medium buffalo, and orange spicy one, which was my favorite. The jerk is a dry rub, and the honey mustard was more smooth than pungent, so I'd recommend sticking with the buffalo or trying another sauce. The place was extremely busy with lots of locals so I'm guessing the rest of their food is good as well. Staff was also very helpful and polite to the out of towner! read more

You must go! I am not someone who writes reviews, ever. But today I stumbled upon a local spot that needs to be known state wide if not further. The exterior is very unassuming but as soon as you enter you are welcomed into a very warm place. And the decor is pretty much your standard pub style, but don't let that fool you. Oh my God the food is absolutely amazing. Do you want great appetizers? They got it. Do you want great wings? They have been awarded the best in the county which I think is a little too small time of a title for how great they are. They could easily win best in the state. Do you want great burgers? They got it. We sampled a ton of different food items from their menu, and not one thing disappointed us. We are huge fans now, and will definitely make the trip out because we're not from the area. Wish we took picture but please trust me!! read more

Mediocre food and prices are high for the quality of food. Service a bit slow but always seems crowded so they're doing right!

So glad I stumbled on this place! The owner/workers are SO nice and the food is absolutely amazing! They have the best wings in the county but surely should be the best in the state! Family owned business! We got the old bay wings, French onion soup, lobster bisque, mozzarella sticks and wedge salad. Couldn't get over how great everything tasted! For sure going to have the salmon and burger next time since other customers there were enjoying those dishes and said how great they were! read more

I love relaxing at the bar with Old bay wings on a lazy Saturday. Didn't realize that Maria was owner, just really like the vibe and casual atmosphere of the place and chatting with Maria as she tends the bar. Great place to grab a bite! Wings and burgers are excellent! read more

I went for happy hour yesterday with some of the ladies and I enjoyed myself. The place itself is not the BEST looking inside but the drinks were tasty and for $3, you can't really beat that. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed my Everything Salad with the Asian dressing. The fried calamari and onion straws really took it over the top. Will probably return. read more

Noticed this restaurant while driving through the area. We had dinner there with friends and none of us liked the food, honestly, it was just awful. Definitely do not recommend to anyone and won't be back. read more

The sandwiches were just okay. Also, the bartender wasn't wearing his mask over his face which was against protocol during the pandemic. The portion of fries was large. read more

Really good chicken wings and Maria is always around. She runs a tight ship. Always good people and always good food.

Delicious food in a neighborhood spot. Incredibly friendly people and everyone social distanced. You can see the pride the people who work at Chelsea's have for good food and service. Wings really are spectacular as is the pretzel burger. Thank you very much. read more

Chelsea's is one of our favorite places to eat . The service is always amicable and adept. My kids are always asking to eat there. Their favorite is the Pretzel Burger. Happy to know it is in our area. read more
