Amazing pizza, service and a welcoming atmosphere. Any negative comments are from people who come from 'away' and may not feel comfortable in a down home place. It's also far from a 'dive bar' and is in a beautiful area in New Jersey that welcomes our military and other professionals on their way home after training at the Joint Base. read more

Chesterfield Inn is a true local gem with history, a classic dive bar that delivers on both food and hospitality. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming, making it a great spot to grab a bite and enjoy a drink. The food is consistently good, and the service is just as solid. And I love how they support local business as well and always sponsors local youth sport teams. They have different activities weekly. From karaoke to live bands, something for everyone. John, the owner, is always around, making sure everyone feels at home. His friendly attitude and genuine hospitality add to the charm of the place. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're treated like family. If you're looking for a no-frills, good-time spot with great food and a welcoming vibe, Chesterfield Inn is definitely worth a visit when in chesterfield. read more

ClLICKY BARFLY PLACE! On two occasions we were told all bar seating was reserved. Will never go back again! Do not recommend! Take your hard earned money to another restaurant! Very snotty and clicky. read more

We went here for our daughters 10th birthday. The family has been going there for years and have yet to have a bad experience. Tonight we had a party of 15 and had a table in the dining room section reserved. They did a fantastic job with the servicing of our large group. Stayed on top of the drinks for the table and not a single issue with the orders of 15 people. I ordered the Tavern Ribeye sandwich and a cup of chili. The Chili was delicious, loaded with the right amount of cheese on top, and the heat wasn't overpowering like some places make their chili. The Tavern Ribeye Sandwich was full of flavor and came with au jus for dipping. read more

The Chesterfield Inn - Taverns Ribeye Sandwich. Full of flavor - Pizza Near Me - Chesterfield, New Jersey

Restaurant decor is old fashioned but has character. Love the green and wood color combo. The people were pretty friendly. The drinks were pretty good. The place was packed with large families and the bar looked like it couldn't fit another person so they look like they're doing something right. I ordered a salad with chicken , it was very dry and bland. My husband ordered chicken with mushrooms which was a little better but still a bit bland. The way the chicken was cooked it only was a little moist because of the sauce . Not crazy about the food. Service wasn't too bad read more

Stopped here on our way through NJ. Cute spot. Sat at the bar and the bartender was really sweet. We got a blackened chicken salad Reuben And crispy shrimp tacos All was really good and came out hot and fresh. Come here read more

We are new to the area and tried Chesterfield Inn for the first time tonight and already can't wait to go back! Everything was excellent. The food, the building, and the staff. 10/10. This will be our new regular spot! Definitely get the wings and the tavern sandwich. Can't wait to go back read more

My wife and I stopped earlier this evening for dinner and some couple time without the kids. Seated quickly at a two top table in the bar area. Great little private table. We live in Chesterfield and this is a local "go to" spot for us. My wife got a giant quesadilla and I ordered the Prime Rib special. The prime rib was cooked perfectly at medium rare. Juicy and full of flavor. Wife's food was also excellent. We got the bread pudding for desert which we split. Came nice and warm and was delicious! Our server was attentive and hustled her butt off with our table and a few others that she was handling. I wasn't aware the management had changed but I see that from some of the other reviews. I would have never known. Same great local spot with excellent food/service that we've come to expect. Look forward to next time. read more

This historic inn always delivers delicious food in a cozy setting. Prices are reasonable and we always get great attentive service whenever we visit. Never have had less than an excellent meal here in all the years that we have visited. The owners and the staff are all great people who make you feel at home as soon as you step in the door. We always leave the place full and happy!! read more

Cool little spot w a lot of history to it, came for my sister in law's birthday and we all liked it. Very clean, food was good and our server was awesome! No one got anything crazy, all kind of along the lines of "bar food", but it was all really good. read more

Our first time here, great service , very good food and very reasonable prices. Definitely be back read more

Ate here for the first (and likely last) time yesterday. Ambiance & Service was great. We were greeted warmly, waitress was great and that was where the 3 stars were earned. The food was not good. I really tried to love it, even like it, but no. The steak fries weren't even good, how do you not even salt the fries? Maybe a little seasoning? There are many other places like this to go nearby - we'll definitely be trying other places. Super disappointing. read more

This is the best restaurant and bar in the area. John and his family are great people and so welcoming to their patrons. Erin and the bartenders are always a pleasure to see and hangout with. Tony does a fabulous job running his very popular Trivia Night every Wednesday. Daphne always delivers your food with a smile! And all of the other folks working there are awesome! I never had a bad time at The Chesterfield Inn! read more

this place was a vibe, dive bar with a live band and good drinks, no cover and definitely my type of place

If I could give ZERO stars I would. This isn't the first time we've had problems here. Let's start with screwed up orders on several occasions, especially when they are carry out: left out items like salads & rolls, wrong meals like chicken instead of salmon, wrong pizza. They made good on it but it shouldn't happen often if at all. Service- long waits, wrong drinks. And now for the new & most aggravating thing: THEY WON'T GIVE CHANGE. So if you're bill is $22.06 & you give the clerk $25, you'll only get back $2. That's $.96 they're keeping, almost a dollar that belongs to the customer. If they took this much from 100 people in one day, that's almost $100, not given freely by the customer!! I've given them several chances & this is the final. I'm no longer going there & in letting my friends & family know. read more

Great service. Kayla (our server) was fast, and kind. Food was very good and not too expensive. Erin was also a great bartender and me and the wife love coming in sometimes just to talk to her. 10/10 read more

What to expect from a tavern with a cornerstone of 1710? At the Chesterfield Inn you get heavy historic wooden beams and floorboards, and authentic pre- revolutionary vibes from top to bottom. So, if you're into American colonial times along with pretty good bar food and mugs of grog, this is your place. I stopped in recently for late lunch and as soon as I entered I was captured by the well preserved condition of the bar/grill that has been a dive for over 300 years. I sat at the rectangular bar and asked for the menu. It was bigger than anticipated with both lunch and dinner options for reasonable prices. I chose a personal sized tomato pie with roasted red pepper, and started a chat with the bartendress and the dude at the end of the bar. Both were open and enjoyable. The pizza was excellent with firm undercarriage that held its points and load easily. Bite and crunch were strong and the flavorful ingredients a pleasure to consume. The pepper added a touch of sweetness to the acidic tomato atop the bed of mozza. By the time I left the winter sun sat low on the western horizon and the Sons of Liberty were debating the cause of freedom in the back dining room. The shadows lengthened across the gold hued fields as I drove back through Trenton, crossed the Delaware at Washington Crossing, and tasted that crusty pie one last time at dusk. read more

Decided to go after friend used to work here. OMG 5 of us. All ordered something different. Everything was amazing. Definitely going back If you like French Onion soup...Get it! Not overly salty. I get everywhere it's on the menu. More tomato based than beef broth -my daughter & I both got and literally drank the bowl see pix read more

The atmosphere here is great but the food not so. The quality is not the same since the new owners took over. I had a salad with salmon that was like shoe leather and the lettuce had ice in it. When I told my waiter, he said what do you want me to do about it, so I just picked around the portabella mushroom and left. An expensive lunch being I had to go home and make something else. read more

Small local shot and beer place. Regulars dominate. The food is really good and the service is friendly and fast. Can be loud.

Usually when I come here with any of my friends, we always order nachos and another meal. The food here is phenomenal, great atmosphere, great service and friendly staff. I've been to The Chesterfield Inn a handful of times, and have never been disappointed! read more

Great local spot. Has a little bit of everything and a fully stocked bar. The Buffalo chicken wrap is a go to.

You can't go wrong at Chesterfield Inn! John and his staff are amazing! We try to get here as often as possible and NEVER have a bad experience. The food is amazing, the servers are so friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing night out! Look no further!!! read more

Stopped in while driving around the area and we can say we are glad we did. Walking in really caught our eyes and was seated immediately. Tony our waiter was definitely busy with other tables (like most places they were short handed) but made sure to answer all our questions with ease as well as get the drinks and food orders in quickly. The fresh bread was incredible and will definitely return when back in the area. read more

Well it happened I finally had the worst experience possible..... I have seen the worst possible service ever. I really had high hopes as my friends are regulars but I can only assume they order from the bar. Martinis were good! My Odyssey for food started at 6pm... by 7:21pm still no food. I expressed my concern that three tables after me have have eaten and the waitress responded that they didn't order what I did.... after I pointed out that they have the pork chop as well she actually went to look and said "oh" She did say it shouldn't be longer however not willing to trust the liberties being taken with my food after complaining I requested the order be canceled .... just like the soup natzi she promptly took my bread away . I did ask for the manager as I appreciate giving them the opportunity to address it before the review. Whelp second martini and I sat at the table writing the review and you guessed it... no show. I am thankful that they took off the charge for the food I didn't get. They did get they $8 per drink (no happy hour here). I honestly can't see any redemption for this place other than if you are local and a rich Alcoholic I am reflecting why I wasn't served and I hope it's not because I had a state police polo shirt on read more

Jukebox and sound system were playing at the same time. Server said they leave the house sound system on all the time because if the jukebox goes off it's too quiet. Brought pizza with wrong toppings. Said no to beer refill, got one anyway. Mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers were lukewarm at best. read more

Didn't think I'd have to leave a review about this place ever!....but tonight we decided to order from here since it been about 4-5months since last we ordered due to the bridge on Sykesville rd being closed for construction. We received a phone call hardly 5mins after placing the order over the phone and a voice mail was left. Stating this would be the last time we would be "allowed" to order delivery from this establishment and that we would need to tip better if we wanted delivery. Not only have we always have been respectful n polite to any of the delivery drivers that have delivered to our house. We have always tipped welllll over the 18-20%, sometimes even close to 30% if it was bad weather. Sounds as if their delivery driver has my address mixed up with another address that treats their drivers poorly. And as always we never had an issue driving the 10mins there to pick up our food if their drivers were either swamped with orders or if they didn't have any drivers. Sad to say but I will never spend a fraction of a penny with this establishment ever again and its sad because their food is really good! read more

Haven't eaten there in years. Heard it was under new management. Food was outstanding! Wait staff really hustle. Checked on us several times! Definitely worth checking out! read more

Service was great! Portions large. For some reason, I understood this was more of a restaurant and not a bar. Technically it is both, but more of a bar. It is one of the oldest establishments in the country and so the history alone was worth the drive. We enjoyed the antipasto salad, a giant quesadilla and a pizza. My forgetful mother left her purse there on the crowded evening of a holiday weekend. We were so grateful and thankful that they had it. We were out of towners who needed the ID to travel the following day. Phew!!! read more

The food is amazing, great pricing. The staff is amazing. Good service is fast. The ambiance takes you back to when it was built but either way all new technology. Truly amazing place. read more

While their food is very good, the service is terrible. The head waitress/owner is always rude when we come. She presents as you are an inconvenience to be taken care of. From the moment you walk in, it should be apparent why you're standing there! Once she begrudgingly seats you, the wait for a waitress is ridiculous. Then she gives the same answer when I request a waitress, "I only have 2 waitresses. You will have to be patient. We are short handed like everyone else." Meanwhile the bar the bar is fully attended by 4 tenders, I don't understand how this woman is the same all the time and more people don't post their outrage. read more

They didn't even serve me and I'm of age. For not reason. Kicked out while friends got in

I am almost embarrassed that took several years to visit this place. Many friends told me a VG bar and restaurant, wife and I visited last week. Yes there is the obligatory huge bar with pool tables in back for the neighborhood bar experience. Reminded me of Chicago where you could walk to neighborhood bars without the frilly fern bs. But here the secret is the menu. Moderate menu with good variety and solid food. Not a Michelin foodie place but a pleasant change from the formalistic NJ restaurants heavy on pasta, over priced tomato pies and the ever present pre-fab calamari . Many dining options with a variety of entree items: meat, seafood and Italian. Yet still offers lighter fare and a reasonably priced great pizza . Real enjoyable family or better "couples adult bar" get away. read more

Very rude staff!! They act like they're doing you a favor. Last time we were there they served the wrong meal then took it back while the rest of our food got cold. Food is inconsistent and the drinks are expensive and weak. read more

They recently changed owners and I'm looking forward to going there. It's always been a decent local spot. They have a big bar area with locals sluggin' back drinks and a nice dining room with table clothes and classy folks! I'll update when I go! read more

5 stars for me because it checks a lot of boxes. Meeting a friend for a beer and burgers...Check. The burgers are really good. I usually keep it simple and went the burger deluxe. Good sear on the burger not too greasy but not dry and they serve steak fries. I prefer shoestring fries, but these were crisp on the outside and like mashed inside. Brought my kids and family for dinner they have a small room to the side for sit down dining...Check I like the menu because it has the classics and they also have some specials that will surprise you. Pasta, Steak, and Seafood. The kids killed adult sized Vodka Rig and Fettuccini Alfredo. Chicken Francaise was ordered and loved. Mom got seafood and got scallops she was happy. Throw in a Ribeye for me. We all enjoyed our meals. Years ago I had a small event catered. Nothing fancy I don't remember everything but there was roast beef and mashed potatos. Basic comfort classics. It went over perfectly....Check Lastly, Everything is reasonably priced....Check It's not on a major route and caters mostly to locals. But if you're in the Northern Burlington area like around Bordentown off Rt. 206 or in Southern Mercer County like Hamilton Twp. It's only 15 minutes or so out of the way. It's worth the trip. Best part is this place has something on the menu for everyone so we all leave with happy bellies. I really need to visit here more. read more

I can't believe after living in the area for 6 years that we'd never been here. Tonight we had dinner. What a charming place this is! It's beautifully decorated and has a quaint, historic feel. Our server, Chris, was prompt, attentive, and remembered all our preferences without writing them down - a feat I never even attempted in my serving days. I had the special cocktail, a coconut cosmo (delish and well-mixed) while my husband had a captain & coke. He said it was a nice, strong pour. Bread was served and it was warm, with the perfect combo of crisp and doughy. We had salads with our entrees that were fresh and big (and the homemade croutons were a nice, tasty touch). I had the peppercorn sirloin and it was a perfect mid-rare. It was so flavorful I didn't add salt or pepper or -gasp- A1, which, unfortunately, I often need for restaurant steaks these days. There was no looking for flavor in this steak. This sirloin had notes of garlic, as did the veggies and mashed potatoes that came with. I really enjoyed it. My husband ordered he chicken francaise, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had a bite and it was pretty great. No room for dessert. Appetizer menu could have more choices. If you don't like seafood or artichokes you're SOL. They did have a chicken wing special tonight but we weren't feeling wing-y. Overall, I'm sorry we waited so long to come here. Go enjoy a meal with someone you tolerate - er, love. Go with someone you love. Take someone you tolerate elsewhere. They wouldn't deserve a meal here. read more

This establishment is not military friendly- the owner herself taunted us and didn't want us here. Server, Eric was outstanding

First time to the Inn while visiting family in the area. What a great place. As others mention, the onion soup was great and the seafood fettuccini Alfredo my daughter ordered had my mouth watering, but she didn't want to share. She even took half home and had it for another meal. Great burger selection and the Jersey Burger was yummy, but after seeing the Chesterfield rib eye sandwich, I know that will be my next meal when I get back there. If ever in the area, this place is highly recommended. read more

Awful food eating in and worse with take out. They even decided to add a service fee to your bill! These new owners will destroy the food reputation that the old owners had for years. So sad that this local pub is going downhill... Obviously new ownership has no restaurant talent for food. Buying a restaurant needs hands on in the kitchen. I will seek a new place for food!! I live in Chesterfield and have lost my "go to" place for a nice pub meal! They won't last!!! read more
