Chesterfield’s Bar & Grill

Avoid this restaurant. Apparently, they have a horrible new cook staff who don’t have a clue how to cook. We ordered the Monterrey Chicken and Ribs. It was supposed to come with fries and coleslaw. We were given nasty rice and overcooked broccoli instead. The chicken had some cheap sandwich ham on it and it looked and tasted horrible. The ribs tasted like they had been cooked a week ago. The Cajun Fries were nasty. Nacho cheese and roast beef and brown gravy. Bad idea. Not only was the food bad, the bathroom was nasty and it was freezing in the restaurant. I guess the locals know this place is terrible and avoid it. I’ll be avoiding it from now on too.

Well let’s just say this was not the best experience. We came in at 11 am Sunday. The table was sticky, the menu was dirty and the server could not tell me what was in the Cajun rice… seriously? My salad came and took 10 minutes to get my dressing. The smothered grilled chicken was decent but a little dry for me. Overall not a great experience.
The game was on and the tvs were plentiful so that was a plus.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Slidell. Even my picky teenage sons love it here!
After looking through all the yummy photos others posted of their food plates, I decided to go against my favorite (the seafood Potato… you MUST try it… Plus it feeds two) and try something new, the seafood festival. It’s a spicy cajun pasta with fried crawfish generously piled on top… but that’s not even the best part… There are two crawfish pastries that are DIVINE!!! One of my favorite foods is crab rangoon (chinese, yes) This is a cajun version of crab rangoon, only with crawfish… OMG…I’m writing this review several days later and my mouth is still watering just thinking about them!!!
Now I have the conundrum of trying to decide which one is my favorite???
As far as price, yes, our meal does get pricey… buy we save money by going on Tuesday nights (when kids eat free) and ordering the swamp fries, which are huge and can double as a meal for anyone… Again, I find that most of the portions are very large and could easily feed two. And if you buy a gift certificate from Sams for Chesterfield’s, you get a discount there too…

Or server was good. But that was about the only positive. There was only three tables and the food took a long time to come out. My wife had the shrimp platter and the shrimp was overcooked. Very tough. Could have cut some of that cook time and maybe got us our food faster. Also, The food is overpriced for what you get. $ 17.99 for seafood pasta that had about 5 shrimp and even less crawfish. At that price it should be a good handful. No plans on going back.

Darn good eatin’. Haven’t had a substandard meal yet. They will even slightly alter the menu on request ex. Instead of Philly cheese steak poboy, I liked the philly grilled chicken cheese steak, yum. Great service too. Reasonable prices.

The only thing that’s good is the swamp fries. We’ve visited this place at least 3 times, since it’s close to our house and looks decent enough from the outside. but we have yet to find anything that’s good to eat except for the swamp fries. The drinks are even worse, i ordered a Piña colada the last time and it tasted like the mix you buy from the grocery store. Will only order the fries to go if i get a craving.

We came in with a party of 16 this past Wednesday. We called ahead and when we arrived, no one knew we were coming. The girl that sat us in the room said «Yall can sit there, but its gonna be hot» and walked to seat us. That is not how you greet people. We had a blonde girl in a gray shirt as our waitress. I understand large parties are hard to wait on. We literally waited 20 Minutes to receive our drinks after we ordered them. People were walking to the bar to find her because we waited so long. She didnt acknowledge the people that joined us, since we all didnt show up at the same time. She might have had other tables, but if that was the case then she could have had some help. Once we ordered the food, we had to beg for refills. When our food came, she had help. Thank god! On top of everything, IT WAS SCORCHING HOT! Fanning ourselves and eating hot food is not a good experience. Our server never prebussed. Dishes beyond days on the table. The point I got, never go to this place with a large party. They neglect you. They should have had a server with us being their only table, OR assigned 2 servers. Not a good experience.
Food was good, none the less. That’s why they got two stars instead of one.

Food is alway good… But, don’t count on getting exactly what you ordered! There will always be a slight variance to what you ordered… But, I will say it’s going to be good and hot!

good, costly,

Service was great. Food was awesome. I had the stuffed fresh catch. The choices were fresh Tuna and Mahi, I chose Mahi. It was scrumptious. The bar amaretto sour was delish and the service was very nice. I will be back when visiting Hattiesburg!

Omg! We used to love this place ! Tonight we went for dinner and my husband and I clearly saw what was a spider crawling in his coleslaw. We alerted our waitress and she insulted our intelligence by explaining how pepper corns and spices look like bugs! We insisted that it was a spider but she had stirred up the cole slaw by this point. She asked if we wanted to speak to the manager and we said yes, she came back and said he too busy in the kitchen. So I asked what his name was and she ran back to the kitchen to try to get him. We were walking out and she wanted us to wait for him … Really?! She said that she could get us a new cole slaw?! Uh no thanks as that’s what the spider was in!!!

Loved this place! Reasonable prices, swamp fries are AMAZING, the turtle soup was so good and all the burger choices were YUM!!! The wait staff was also really good! Plan on coming back!
P. s. and you get free jalapeño cornbread!

Service was terrible. Only 6 tables had guests and once I finally got my Luke warm dinner I never so my server again until I was done eating and had been waiting for several minutes.
The poor hostess was working harder than anyone there
Not sure if I would go back but would like to try other items on the menu

This place was meh. I used to like the one they had in Hattiesburg but this one seemed rough. It seems a little run down. I had the chicken sandwhich and it was good but I have 2 problems. The fries kinda sucked and my wife’s redfish was terrible. Size and portion was ok but that thing was fishy. And I understand that it’s fish but it was not a pleasant experience. I’m sure it was frozen but I have no problem with that. That fish was thawed incorrectly and not seasoned enough to offset the strong flavor. I give them 3 stars because service was good and I liked the sandwhich. I might have just liked the Hattiesburg location because all I got was hamburgers sandwiches and beer. I might not eat fish here but my chicken wasn’t dry kudos to that.

The food didn’t blow me away. We had a really sweet server, but it was very slow. Yes, we did have a group of 11, but there weren’t a lot of customers. I don’t think I would choose to go back again.

The food was very good. My wife had the Cajun beef (hamburger steak wrapped in bacon) & I had the baby backs. However there was no smoke flavor at all on the baby backs, they were drowned in sauce. The service was OK, nothing special you had to wait and wait to get your tea refilled. but what really got me was the prices. They hit you extra for most things you would expect to get with your meal. For what we had, with iced tea, we paid $ 46.00 before tip. We won’t be back.

Arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the place was pretty much empty. Waited for what seemed like a long time to get our drink orders, but after that, service was prompt. The food was good but nothing extraordinary. Overall, good food for the price.

Swamp fries were awesome… does it get much better than a mix of fries, gravy, and cheese?
The chicken salad sandwich was homemade which and was good. It is served chunky instead of the usual shredded chicken salad. The sandwich got messy but that didn’t bother me.
Got the Mac and cheese for my side and it was very delicious. Nice change of pace from fries.
Would definitely recommend this place for anyone in search of a reliable, delicious, and affordable sit down meal.

Chesterfield’s is great. I love the atmosphere and modern décor here. There is a beautiful bar that’s really nice to sit at for football games, and there’s also shaded outdoor dining when the weather permits.
The food is consistently great. Things you can’t go wrong with:
Appetizers-​Crabby Cheese Bread (French bread covered in crabmeat and cheese), Onion rings, swamp fries (fries covered in roast beef debris, rotel cheese, brown gravy, sour cream and green onions… yum!)
Usually I’ll get a burger here but the seafood pastas are all very good. My favorite burger is the Firecracker. It’s got onion rings, fried jalapeños, pepper jack cheese and spicy ranch. It’s really spicy and really good!
You should give Chesterfield’s a try if you’re in the area.

Soooo pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! First good sit-​down seafood place in Slidell that I would recommend over some NOLA places. I will ladmit, we ate here a few times over a year ago and it was absolutely horrible… but recently we have been twice and everything we did not enjoy (service/​food) has been fixed and improved 100%!
We have had the cheesy crab bread, swamp poboy, cajun poboy, and ribeye. We would recommend and reorder all of them!
