    The bars are back open!! Hooray!!!!
    Pat M.

    While running errands on a rainy Saturday afternoon, my wife and I were looking for a new place to try for lunch. Since we were going to be in the area, we decided to stop in at the Old Mill Tavern. This happened to be the first weekend sitting at bars is allowed again and while we sat at a table, it was just nice to see. The drinks were excellent and the food was better than your typical bar food. From my Bloody Mary, to the boneless wings appetizer, to the entrees, we both enjoyed our food. On top of which, the cakes are brought in from a Denville bakery and my carrot cake was delicious! If you're in Chester and you're looking for a nice stop for drinks or food, give this old fashioned tavern a try!

    Buffalo chicken sandwich with waffle fries

    The staff was super nice...seating us outside even though we arrived a few minutes before they opened. Overall good bar/pub food. We stopped here Bc of its proximity to Hacklebarney State Park. After hitting the trails for a few miles we devoured our food...more out of hunger than anything else. The Cooper burger was good I'm told, while there was nothing wrong with my Buffalo chicken sandwich. I will say though, both the regular and the waffle fries had no flavor (lacking salt too). Kids ate the pizza without complaint.

    We stopped in after going to Alstede farms. It is a dark, old school pub with a small menu. Overall, I would skip this place. My burger was simply ok , nothing to rave about. It wasn't salted and served overcooked. The wings were also overcooked and the kid's grilled cheese wasn't melted enough. How can you mess up grilled cheese? The only great part of my meal was the Guinness. If I'm around the area again, I am definitely going to try another restaurant.

    The only good things about this place were the waffles fries and the cole slaw (and the service was pretty quick too). Our party of four came in on a Sunday a little after two and it was pretty empty. To start, we had the 'broccoli poppers', more out of curiosity and not because we actually wanted them. But they turned out to be pretty good. It's basically just battered discs of broccoli and cheese. For my main, I went with the rib-eye cheese steak. I thought it would be shaved steak, but it was actually just slab of beef, covered with a thick layer of cheese. It was pretty oily so I'm really glad I opted for cole slaw instead of fries, especially since my BF already had fries with his meal. The first few bites were not bad but the more I ate it, the saltier it seemed to get. I felt very lethargic afterwards, and not in a good way. I know, I know - what do I expect after eating a cheese steak? Well I've had other cheese steaks before (that were good) and didn't feel like a pile of sludge afterwards. We only stopped in because it was close to the hiking spot we had just gone to, and we were starving. Won't be returning again though.

    Sirloin steak; medium rare. Broccoli & steak fries. Delicious!

    Went to this landmark for my mother's 75th birthday. Greeted at the hostess stand cordially & immediately. Sat down at a deuce against the front windows of the tavern. Server immediately took a drink order and asked if we wanted to start with an appetizer. Very friendly staff; probably 6 tables were sat when we got there and a few patrons sitting at the bar. We ordered our drinks & a bacon wrapped scallops appetizer. Got 4 HUGE sea treasures wrapped in swine delivered to the table quickly; cooked to perfection with the standard lemon wedge accompaniment. They were quite nice. The entrees ordered were teriyaki steak (which seemed like a flank cut) asked for medium & was on point with that. My mother loves that dish & has ordered it often. My order was the 16 oz sirloin, asked for medium rare, with broccoli & steak fries. All came out excellent, basically perfect. Kitchen & staff was on point with delivery of food, clearing empty plates, and refilling drinks. Got a $5 slice of carrot cake to end. (Small piece; very) scallops app $15 teriyaki steak $21 sirloin steak $28 soft drinks $3 each. Very nice dinner out. With 22% tip. $100 for a nice celebration out. Highly recommend.

    Draft list Oct 2020. Craft pints $6.50

    What a nice surprise after a morning hiking. Pot roast special with mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus was quite delicious.

    I've driven by this place for many years and never stopped in. I will definitely be back!…read more The service was amazing! You can sit inside or out. It's BYO but they have many non-alcoholic options. My cousin ordered sopes which I've never had before. They are light dough filled with beans, shredded chicken, guacamole and veggies. Yum! She also got a vegetable taco bowl. It was huge and filled to the brim with delicious veggies. Her daughter birria tacos. They were double tacos and the meat was seasoned perfectly. I filled up on the amazing pico and other sauces with the freshly made chips and guacamole. I ended up taking most of my food home. Mini Shredded chicken bites and beef flautas.

    We were celebrating Chester 250 Day in town and it was HOT. We decided to pop into Fresco Mexican…read moreeven though were weren't really hungry. The restaurant is really cute and decorated really colorfully. It feels like a lot of the restaurant it hand-painted! We got a seat immediately and were served chips with three different salsas. The waiter was so patient and explained each salsa to us. I loved trying each flavor. I ordered the gazpacho, and tried a bit of my husband's beef tacos. The gazpacho was DELICIOUS and exactly what I needed on that hot summer day. It was so refreshing and bursting with flavor. I felt bad just ordering soup but the staff was super polite about it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband's tacos came with lots of toppings, which come on the side, so you are kind of left to assemble your own taco. I feel like they should add the toppings in the kitchen, then the presentation would be much better! Nevertheless the tacos were so delicious, and the beef was perfectly tender. Overall this was a great stop!
