This was our first time here and we really liked the place. Our bartender was very friendly and provided info on the building being over 200 years old and new ownership taking over 2 years ago. I started off with a Kane IPA, my wife had a Toasted Almond. The beer was easy, but he did a great job making her drink. We each had a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup, then we shared the Maryland Crab Nachos. The soup was ok, but those nachos were fantastic! So different from anything we've had. The dinner menu here looks very good also. We'll definitely be back!

This Saturday was the first time I had ever ordered catering from them for my husband's 50th birthday party. The process to order was super easy and it was ready when I arrived and they carried it to my car for me. It was excellent as I had expected but the guests at the party raved about it and there was not a lot left as folks wanted to take home left overs. Also so very reasonably priced!

They use fresh ingredients, don't skimp out on bread quality, and the meals were all flavorful.

My husband got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich $18, and I got the Classic Cab Burger $17 to be safe. Needless to say, we did not have to be "safe." Every dish was delicious. Think, "Better than Bergen County diners." It's not a fancy restaurant, but also not a lousy joint. They have pretty decent food! If they were in Bergen County, I'd probably frequent this restaurant. Interior is quaint -- built in 1771, with stone walls and high ceilings -- and a large enough space to accommodate large parties, including outdoor tables.

Redwoods Grill & Bar in Chester definitely has curb appeal. When you drive by it, you think "that…read morelooks like a good place to eat". The large, attractive building features a lot of blue and white that almost gives it seashore vibe. There's a sizable outdoor dining area with plenty of tables shaded with umbrellas and even a row of American flags billowing in the wind. So, not being familiar with Chester, and not seeing any other restaurants nearby, I decided to pull in for lunch. It was a bit too cold to eat outside, so I sat in their dining room, which was spacious and attractive, but surprisingly empty given that it was the height of lunch time. After a quick glance at the menu, I immediately spotted what I wanted, the Firecracker Chicken Sandwich. This was for me! Buttermilk marinated chicken, deep fried with a seasoned firecracker crust, served on a ciabatta roll with spicy carrot slaw, herb-buttermilk mayo, fries, and a pickle. Sadly, the description on the menu was the best thing about the sandwich. What I got was an unimpressive looking chicken sandwich that had been overcooked and was devoid of any moisture, tenderness or flavor. It simply wasn't edible. To their credit, they took it back without question and asked if I'd prefer something else. I choose a roasted turkey tea sandwich on multi-grain bread with a side salad. This was definitely better, but still not great. Perhaps Redwoods Grill & Bar is more in their zone for dinner service and maybe this was just an off day, however, based on my experience there, at least as far as the food goes, Redwoods Grill & Bar isn't a place I can really recommend. I should mention that this review was written In September, when I was there, but I forgot to post it, so perhaps it's different now.

Outstanding dinner at PH Steakhouse with a phenomenal server…read more Had an amazing dinner at PH Steakhouse in Chester, and a huge part of what made the night so great was our server, Sterling. He was friendly, on point with timing, and knew the menu and cocktail list inside and out, so much so that it's worth specifically requesting Sterling when you make a reservation or when you're seated. He even recommended my (and his) favorite specialty cocktail, which ended up being the perfect drink to go with the meal.​ I ordered the Delmonico King Cut steak and it came out a perfect medium rare--flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly as requested. My wife's parmesan‑crusted chicken was also fantastic, with great seasoning and a really nice crisp on the outside.​ The specialty cocktails were fun and inventive, which fits perfectly with their strong craft cocktail program and full bar. If you can, definitely request to sit in the "Chester Room"; it's a very cozy and quaint dining area, and the fireplace during these chilly winter months makes it feel extra warm and inviting.​ Between the perfectly cooked steak, my wife's excellent chicken, the creative cocktails, the cozy Chester Room, and especially the top‑tier service from our server, this was an easy 5‑star experience.

Do not waste your time going here ~ be warned…read more We went for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon around 1:00 pm. It was not crowded, almost empty. In the dining room, where we were seated, there was our table of two, another table of two and a table of three. The other two tables were at the end of their meals. Our server, who also greeted us at the door, was more interested in looking at his smart phone than seating us. He gave us the dinner menus, instead of lunch menus which was a sign of things to come. It was almost 1/2 hour before the server returned to take our order. At this point the two other tables of patrons were gone. We ordered a Wedge salad and French onion soup for starters. The Wedge salad was perfect, except for the large piece of Italian bread served with it which was charred, but edible out of desperation. The onion soup was TASTELESS and the cheese on the top of it was BURNT, blackened to the extent there was no mistaking whoever prepared it was not paying attention when they made it and had no problem sending it out to be served burnt. Against my better judgment, and further desperation, I ate the tasteless, burnt soup. For the main course, we had a turkey club and mussels Fra Diavolo. The "fra diavolo" sauce had no kick to it at all. They might as well have called the dish mussels in marinara sauce. The turkey club, which was ordered with no mayonnaise, had almost NO turkey on it ~ no exaggeration ~ there was only one thin slice of turkey on it! I should have sent it back immediately, but I took my first bite and then signaled for the iPhone obsessed server. I asked him for the manager and he panicked as if he did something wrong. I assured him the problem was with the food, although I should have reported him for his inability to put his iPhone down and do his job. The manager came to our table asking how she could help and I showed her the sandwich pointing to the lack of turkey. She agreed that the club sandwich was very much in need of its main ingredient -- turkey. She apologized and took my plate and said she would order me another. About 20 minutes later, our iPhone loving server returned with a new turkey club with the appropriate amount of turkey on it. We were offered no compensation for the first embarrassed turkey club which was almost sans turkey, not that we were looking for some type of compensation, but any type of gesture would have been nice. It has been years since we last ate at the Public House since moving from the area, but this will definitely be our last visit. I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone, even if the food were free. Be forewarned...you would have a more satisfying meal from a fast food restaurant!

The food was pretty good although one burger was slightly under cooked it was not terrible. The portions were big and the fries come plain so you can add whatever you need to, to make them the way you like them.

I'm gonna write this off as a fluke because every other experience I've had here has been great.
