    Shrimp & grits, brussels sprouts, grilled blackened salmon, ribeye, shaved prime rib sandwich with truffle fries
    Maddie D.

    My friends and I came here on a whim because it was open later, and we loved it! We started with the wing and rib combo and the mozzarella sticks, both of which I highly recommend! Everything was so good. The mozzarella sticks were so soft and crisp and the marinara was so fresh and kind of sweet! And we tore up the wings and ribs. For mains, my group got the salmon, ribeye, shrimp & grits, and prime rib sandwich. We loved everything, especially the ribeye and the truffle fries. The only complaint we had was that the shrimp & grits had a bit too much gravy, and it kind of drowned out the grits. The flavor was definitely there though. The prime rib sandwich was really great with the jus and was big enough to split with my friend. The service was excellent! Our food came out really quickly and well, and we noticed that they had brought us an extra tray to split the sandwich and hand towels for the wings, which was really thoughtful. They were so quick whenever we asked for extra utensils or condiments. Our server Adriana was really sweet and charming which really added to our experience! We liked her so much we kinda wished she could sit with us It was so cute inside the restaurant too. We felt bad because we came in close to closing, but no one working made us feel rushed or was rude to us. I would definitely come back (earlier) next time I'm in the area and highly recommend this to anyone! Their rating should be higher!

    Kids Mac and cheese

    A little hit or miss but when you hit, it's perfection. I loved the Prime Rib Sandwich. The pimento cheese chicken sandwich was a huge swing and a miss. The sweet potato fries were delicious. And the cheese grits were phenomenal. The kids Mac and cheese... straight out the Kraft box ( or maybe Great Value) Wings were pretty decent

    Underrated- outstanding service at the bar. Food incredible. Super fast service. Music and atmosphere- top notch.

    Sticky ribs
    Dwaine C.

    Service was very good. This is a bar/ restaurant. They have a very nice store next door while you wait for a table. Wait was short. I had a bacon old fashioned . We ordered the sticky ribs Mac and cheese. With brussel sprouts. The sticky ribs were amazing. The flavor was delicious. Mac and cheese was creamy and cooked perfectly. The Brussel sprouts were not well done or crispy. They were tender. They have a great menu with some good selections.

    Prime rib sandwich with mashed potato

    Hubby and I were in the area, exploring the Blue Ridge mountains, and Chester's was by far our favorite spot to eat. We went there on our first night in town and went back again for lunch the next day. On both visits, service was good and the food was excellent. The buffalo wings were my favorite. We had that as an appetizer on our first visit and I loved them so much, I went back the next day just to get those as my main. The blue cheese is homemade and delicious. I also tried the grilled cheese, which was really good as well. On our second visit, we had the sticky ribs as our starter and it was finger-licking good. We went with the daily special dessert, which was a pina colada cheesecake. I was skeptical at first but it did have a really good flavor and we ended up enjoying it. If we are ever in the area again, we will for sure be returning. I wish they had one of these closer to home because it would definitely be added to our regular rotation list. Great food and great service is not easy to pull off but Chester has managed to make it happen.

    This really gives upscale bar food vibes. The interior looks like a normal vibe but the quality of food is elevated. The specials they do made everything special. Our waiter so was good at giving recommendations and was very sweet. Overall a great time and definitely recommend the wings!!

    Fire Roasted Pimiento Cheese Dip with Toasted Flatbread and Crackers
    Michelle M.

    We stopped in here for lunch on a Friday. I ordered the Fire Roasted Pimiento Cheese Dip served with toasted flatbread and crackers. It was super tasty and I loved both the flatbread and crackers equally. It was nice to switch between the 2 textures. It was very filling so I definitely stopped short before finishing to save room for my main. I ordered the Sticky Ribs with Mac n Cheese and Brussels Sprouts for my Main. The ribs were perfectly seasoned with the perfect amount of sauce and were super tasty and delicious. The Mac n cheese was a yummy cheesy treat, but the Brussels Sprouts were unevenly cut and cooked unevenly and ranged from too hard to too soft. I would order everything again except the Brussels sprouts. I'd love to go back and try more items on the menu.

    Pimento fried chicken Sandwich
    Sam P.

    Favorite spot we ate at on our trip to blue ridge. We had a party of 7 so got to taste a lot of the menu. Couple of take aways: 1. I will be dreaming about this chicken sandwich forever 2. MUST get the cheesy grits 3. Burgers are bigger than the bun- you know that's when it's done right 4. Amazing staff and atmosphere 5. Root beer on tap is the best pairing to any meal

    Entrance signage

    It was around 5pm on a January afternoon and there were a lot of patrons. Upon entering we were asked if we wanted a table or sit at the bar? We found a couple seats at the bar. Staff was very friendly and poured us a couple drafts. We ordered the four cheese grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup. I ordered the Turkey Club. Both came with a side of fries. Both dishes did not disappoint. The turkey was smoked pcs. The grilled cheese was very flavorful. The Ambience was welcoming with music in the background. Comfortable seating. You got your money worth of food.

    Me and my wife came here for our first night in blue ridge and let me tell you I see why it's so highly recommended staff was very nice and friendly checked in quite often and made sure we didnt need anything else would highly recommend this place I had the build your own burger with cheese grits I wanted to try the house made chips as well and our waiter put some on the plate for me to try my wife got the tomato bisque and Brussels sprouts they were amazing as well I was able to get my burger medium which is how I perfer my burger absolutely amazing

    Tomato soup
    Jessica A.

    We came here after enjoying a nice ride on the Blue Ridge scenic railway. We did not have to wait at all so we got lucky as we arrived around 5:15/5:30. The service was fantastic and the tomato soup with grilled cheese really hit the spot as it was snowing at felt like 18 degrees outside. I'm sure we will pass by here again later on during our trip. The sticky ribs were divine and we were tempted to order more.

    Completely disorganized. Everyone is blaming the kitchen! No one takes ownership of any issue. Always someone else's fault.

    Ask the Community - Chester Brunnenmeyer's

    Do they take reservations?

    No they are first come first served. Get there early it's usually about an hour wait, but worth it.

    What is the closest restaurant that has live Dixie Land Jazz music?

    Atlanta or New Orleans (in New Orleans, you gotta check out Fritzell's on Bourbon Street; musicians from around the world show up just to play here!).
