Great job on the house salad, but don't ever in life order the gumbo(if that's what they call it), it's just brown gravy with sausage and two shrimp. Believe me the rice is gummy and the bowl is shallow. Now the sweet tea is amazing and the house salad is awesome. Go back for happy hour if you can, the well/ house drinks are $4.00!!!! And... well worth it the Wednesday noon bartender is wonderful! People oriented and nice spoken. read more

Have eaten here multiple times and nothing has disappointed yet. Some of my favorites being their fried catfish and shrimp, ahi tuna salad, pork chops, and last but not least the Hawaiian steak!!! You'll also have to remember to save room for dessert to try the white chocolate bread pudding or fried pecan pie that are to die for! They also offer multiple specials throughout the week that are worth stopping by for! Service always prompt and friendly. read more

Chesterfield's - Hawaiian Steak! - American Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Wonderful menu items with so much to choose from! Brunch here is delicious and affordable. Service is always fast and efficient. Nice atmosphere inside or outside. read more

Great service and the salmon special was cooked properly and had great taste. Fried mushroom appetizer was delicious.

Ambience: Classy for Hattiesburg. The deck on the outside is amazing on Wednesdays. Food: I would call it good food but I have yet to have anything that just knocks my socks off though. Price: Fair for the quality of food. Once again not a huge fan. read more

Best food in town. Great folks, awesome service and smiles everywhere. Love this place. Definitely one of my favorites

My favorite thing from here is the crab claws! Their menu is so diverse that you can have brunch, lunch, and dinner here. Their mimosas are the bomb! The staff is the cherry on top! read more

Wow all 4 of us ordered the fried pork chops and we all agreed our dinner was awesome! We all had cocktails and the bill was very reasonable. Can't wait to go back. read more

Good stuff. I had the Lagniappe po-boy and it was amazing. Generous portions, prepared well with great service. Will be back.

If zero stars was an option that's the rate I would give Chesterfields. I placed a to go order and was very disappointed with the food I received. I order the Back Bay Pasta something I usually get and have ALWAYS been satisfied with it for the last 8 years of ordering it. However, this time I was very disappointed with my order. So much so that I felt I needed to call to complain. I don't usually call places complaining but my food barely had any sauce, the fish was broken it just looked disgusting. I also ordered a sweet tea with no ice and guess what it had ice in it. I ordered it with no ice because I didn't want my drink to be watered down by the time I made it to my destination which was 30mins out. I called back to let them know about my order and that I live 30mins out so driving back wasn't an option and the manager, Byram COULD CARE LESS. Not one time did he apologize. The option he gave me were to come back and he would replace it or not eat the food and bring it the next day. Those options didn't work for me because I was in a empty house with no food other than what I ordered and I couldn't leave because I had to be there for the movers. So the entire thing was an inconvenience. Regardless, my circumstances shouldn't matter had the food that a paid for been made right the first time. I guess at this point I wanted some sort of empathy and good ole customer service. "How can I make this better for you." Instead I got well that's all I can do and a I don't care attitude. I spoke with Bryan on Monday and "Supposedly" Nolle or Noel (unsure about the spelling of both mangers name) on Tuesday. They both sounded just alike and had the same nonchalant attitude. Not one time did either one apologize about the inconvenience on how the food was inadequately prepared. However they both did chose to blame me for the late pick up, which I later had to tell him that even 30 mins after I picked up my order it still wasn't ready. I even said he could roll the cameras to see I was brought my drink first to the car and ask the waiter, James where my food was and he said it wasn't ready. So that was a total of 35 mins to get food prepared. Which was supposed to be ready and 25mins I even gave them extra time and it still wasn't ready. The food was thrown together on top of being cold. But both managers made sure to blame me for not checking my food before I left. What I wanted to tell them yes I should have checked but because I have always been impressed with chesterfield I never felt I needed to double check them like I would at McDonald's. This is an upscale local business, but I guess my expectations were too high for their food and customer service because yesterday I would given a -10. They have horrible people managing that restaurant. It's actually heartbreaking because Chesterfield was one of my favorite restaurants. It's my go to place and because it's a local restaurant I try to eat there often to support. ESPECIALLY, during these times. However how both manager made me feel I regret supporting this restaurant over 8 years. I've had birthday dinners there, family dinners and always brought out of town guest to Chesterfields. Byram and Noel made it clear they don't care about their customer or customer service. Both Noel and Bryam made me feel I wasn't a customer they valued. I hope this reaches the owners whom both told me they wouldn't care because this is their policy. I can understand policy but I wasn't asking for a refund I was asking for an apology. Regardless, if the order was right the first time none of this would have mattered. I understand mistakes happen but I don't understand is rude managers placing the blame on the customer instead of taking responsibility of their actions. Nolle even had the nerve to say well Bryam is new so his customer service skills aren't great. Wow! read more

I went here when I was in the Hattiesburg area. I had the steak dinner and my steak was cooked just right along with a baked potato. My girlfriend had the hamburger with the fried egg on it and she told me it was one of her favorites. This is a great place to go for casual American cuisine. read more

Waited a half hour to be seated and then another 1 1/2 hours to be served a simple brunch. Poor service here. Food was just so so. read more

Food was delicious and served timely. They were kind enough to acommodate picky eaters, too. Dining outdoors during Covid-19 precautions made the meal feel safer with servers in masks. The flies can be problematic, though. read more

I have enjoyed everything I have tried. My absolute favorite is Sweet potato fries with caramel sauce

OMG excellent. Stopped for a quick bite kinda late. Super server Cole. We had the pork chops they were so beautifully spiced an explosion of flavor and fork tender. It came with a choice of sides I chose mashed potatoes and okra and a fruit cup. The only thing I regretted was the mashed potatoes. Everything else spot on delicious. My husband had a shrimp platter with fries, hush puppies and the most amazing coleslaw ever. Homemade hush puppies. Come on. Price was great too. Definitely a great place. read more

Just had lunch here after shopping. Food was good service was better. Brittany was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing.

The manager was very rude and condescending when we complained about one of the dishes being too salty. She felt like we were supposed to give the waitress a run down of my medical history before ordering the food so the cook would know not to dump the entire salt shaker in my food. Then she felt the need to educate me on what blackened meant. All I asked for was that they remake the dish or exchange it and she became so mean and disrespectful that we told her nevermind. We paid for the food even though I only took 2-3 bites of it and left. The waitress was excellent though. It was just the rude, snooty, condescending, arrogant, disrespectful, little female manager. read more

They were really nice! However, my shrimp, while barbecued just right, had a less than savory flavor.

Great food. Great service. I would have given 5 stars but when I went tonight (a weekend night after 7 pm) I noticed an additional gratuity on our check. It was only my husband and me but 18% was added to our bill. The waitress said it was something they just started. I was going to give her 20% anyways and I did add the extra 2% but I did not like being blindsided. read more

Had a wonderful lunch. Our server was terrific and the food was great. We sat on the patio and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Let me start by saying the service was great. The restaurant has plenty room for you and your spouse for privacy. The food was pretty good,but the price was just too expensive. I ordered the oyster platter which was only decent in quality. Still felt my Hunger was not satisfied when I left and due to the high prices I doubt I will be back. read more

What a find. Not knowing anything about restaurants in Hattiesburg, we looked at Yelp! and decided on Chesterfield's. It has been open since 1981, So that has to mean something. Locally owned and operated, the menu should have something for everyone. If I have a criticism, it is the beer selection is b o r i n g! C'mon! Get some craft brews on tap. Otherwise, my wife selected the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy, and lima beans. Along side came a freshly baked yeast roll. She indicated the chops (2) were perfectly cooked and tender, the potatoes and gravy were tasty, and the limas flavorful. ($10) I opted for the fried shrimp and catfish ($16) with fried okra and jalapeño slaw. OMG! The platter included 7 butterflied shrimp, 4 catfish filets, 8 hush puppies, a nice serving of homemade okra, and tasty slaw. The hiccup was the slaw was not served with the meal. Our server, Sam, was attentive, polite, and clean cut, a student at the local university. I can't say enough about the menu offerings, including steak, seafood, burgers, salads, and more. Check it out. read more

First time visitor to this restaurant. I ordered the stuffed red fish with cheese sauce. So amazing. The fish was fluffy and soft, crab and crawfish stuffing with cheese sauce. Great okra and the side dish was shrimp gritS. We couldn't eat dessert because we stuffed ourselves. read more

Used to love Chesterfield's. Yesterday was such a miserable experience, we walked out. Patio, once upon a time was pristine, now litter on the floor, tables not bussed for 45 mins, busy but I have seen it much busier. Who knows about the food, 50 mins and water was never offered, let alone seeing a waiter at our table. I would suggest the owner either be on-site or review his manager choices. Will not be back. read more

Delicious!! Great service! My favorite dishes are the seafood stuffed baked potato and sauteed crab claws. Amazing!!!

Home of my favorite the Chicken 49'er ! Grilled Chicken breast smothered in sautéed mushrooms, onions, & peppers and then topped in melted cheese! Yum yum yum! They have a great menu here! And OMG the desserts! The crawfish bread is a Must try and the cheesecake you must save room! Craft beers, wines, & specialty drinks are available and the "party'o on the patio" is always a great time with comfortable seating and live music! read more

Chesterfield's is a casual dining restaurant and bar located across Highway 49 from the University of Southern Mississippi. Chesterfield's is undoubtedly one of Hattiesburg's most forgettable non-chain restaurants. The expansive menu offers a wide variety of pastas, salads, steaks, sandwiches and entrees, and yet manages to make almost all of them sound uninteresting. This lack of focus in conceptualization sometimes carries over to the food served as well. For example, In a previous visit to Chesterfield's I was served a crumbling sandwich bun which had obviously been warmed over on the grill in attempts to cover its obvious staleness. On another visit, the french fries I ordered as a side item had obviously been previously frozen as they tasted almost freezer-burned. Relatively minor problems such as the above are compounded by a waitstaff which seems unable to accommodate special requests the first time they're asked and bartenders who mix notoriously weak drinks during Chesterfield's perplexingly popular happy hour. None of the above admittedly petty concerns sink Chesterfield's as much as the restaurant's overall lack of inspiration. Having dined several times at Chesterfield's I can certainly tell you that there's nothing memorable about the batter on their fried seafood save that it was a bit too salty. Similarly, their almost cliche' selection of salads brings nothing new to the table. It's almost as if someone took a chain-restaurant menu included a few overdone regional dishes and then threw a few bible verses in for good measure. In fact, the most memorable thing about the menu, actually, might be the conspicuously princely sum they charge for steak compared to their competitors. So, is Chesterfield's a bad restaurant? Not really. I've had a number of competently executed meals here, foremost among them one of the aforementioned high-priced steaks. But I may be somewhat unusual in expecting dining out to be a memorable, even special experience, and Chesterfield's simply does not deliver in this department. read more

The Chicken Fajita Loaded Potato was excellent. The food is always good here with exceptional desserts by the way. This place is a little over priced but the service you get here is great. This place never disappoints but the prices make my visits frugal elsewhere. read more

Best bread pudding in all the area I've tried it at 8 restaurants and this is the absolute best , possibly best I've ever had , I'm from California..... the food and desserts are 5 stars read more

My last couple of visits were not all that great but my waitress, Hannah, changed that for my "me time" meal tonight! She was very friendly and attentive and made sure I got everything I needed on my visit today. The food was also well prepared and it did not take long at all. read more

I had a business lunch here last Friday. I ordered the Seafood Stuffed Potato and actually it was very good, just a bit on the heavy side for lunch. The shrimp & crab sauce would have been fantastic over pasta. (Our waiter suggested it and I took him up on it!) One of our party ordered the special; a hamburger steak with rice and he enjoyed it. Someone else had a beautiful salad with chicken and she loved it. The service was great, no complaints at all. The atmosphere is very nice and ideal for a business lunch. The booth was very comfortable and spacious. read more

Can't complain too much about the service as others have. It was actually good. We were seated immediately seated and waiter came right over. Appetizers came fast and water glass never went empty. The apps were very good and so was the entree. I had the 49er steak burger. In my opinion this establishment was pretty good. Try it out you will like it. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Hattiesburg! Worked here for a few years and continue to support local

I called in a to go order and prepaid with a debit card. The total was more than I expected and when I questioned the amount I was told they add an automatic gratuity to take out orders. I called comparable restaurants and found out they do not do this. I spoke with the manager and told him that I tip according to service and that I would not tip for a to go order. His reply was that he would just cancel the order then. I went ahead and paid it this time but will not again. read more

I would rate with 1/2 star if I could! I was so looking forward to having an original loaded baked potato. The potato was gummy, cold and after asking to speak to the manager, she was not responsive to our comments. A blank stare doesn't cut it! She never offered to discount or take a percentage off the bill. We re-ordered an open faced prime rib sandwich. It was way over salted, we'll done and I had trouble cutting it with a steak knife. It took almost 2 1/2 hours for dinner. We were told repeatedly how busy it is on Wednesday. That isn't my problem. Very disappointed with the overall experience and never plan to eat there again. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Sat at the corner of the bar just as you walk in. My hands layed in sticky crap on the bartop!! I hope it wasn't COVID!! There were about 10 to 12 people around the bar. Bartender was leaning over the bar with her bestie I assumed. They were just chatting away. She must not have seen my 6 foot 2 285lb silhouette cause she gave her attention to the guy to my lef and right of me a lot of attention. She finally got around to asking what I wanted to drink. I guess I pissed her off. She rattled off what was on tap so fast. Asked her to repeat it. She practicing spead talking i suppose. She gave me a sample of a beer she had no idea what it was. She excused herself to fill order that came from the dining area. Not a big deal. That is till I was ignored again and 2 people bellied up to the bar and received menus right away and she took thei drink order. She looked at me paused and I just walked out. O'Charleys next door know how to treat their customers. 5 stars to O'Charleys. 0 stars for this. I had a lot of attention at O' Charleys. Go eat at O'Charleys. read more

Love love love their chunky chicken salad! I also enjoy the loaded potato. Raymond is an open faced prime rib sandwich kind of guy....have it blackened it adds just a little something special to it. read more

Great bar service, food and drink! Hawaiian steak! I hope it weathered the year and is still open.

One of my favorite restaurants in Hattiesburg. Me and my family love to visit on Sundays after church. The atmosphere is very classy with dim lighting in certain sections of the restaurant. They have three sections including a bar and sport area with many tvs, the large seating area with plenty of booths, and the extra seating area with large tables for bigger parties. The restaurant also has a beautiful patio area with a fire pit and tvs. My favorite dish to get is the chicken finger platter with fruit and sweet potato fries. Their chicken quesadilla, burgers, catfish platter, pork chop dinner, and chicken and waffles during brunch on Sundays are also delicious. The service is wonderful and the food is always cooked to your preference. Overall, this is a great place for families or date night! read more

My family and I planned a surprise party. 20-23 people anyways. If I could rate this restaurant a 0 star I would they took foreverrrrrr to bring our food they where waiting for the kitchen too close so they wouldn't have to cook our food. I had to physically raise my hand and ask what was taking so long. after this the waiters acted rude and we waited so long for our food we had to ask for a to go plate once we got our food because they where closing. I donot recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more
