Best WLM Reviews
Been wanting to try this place for over a year, finally made it in this past July and was pleased with this venue.
Started out taking pics outside before heading in and a Latina lady who I presume was the hostess asked if I wanted a brief tour and I gladly agreed.
I knew Chessie's was formerly a train station but had no idea it was more than a century old, amazing! She was very kind and informative and I was starving so couldn't wait to be seated.
Unfortunately all window tables were reserved and if I wanted a window seat then it would have to be by the bar but I wanted to dine in the car so settled for a table at the very end, no biggie.
The feeling of dining in this museum piece was definitely a memorable experience. Not too often my family and I do something like this so of course you gotta cherish the moment.
Good food at reasonable prices bolstered by great service in a clean/sanitized landmark atmosphere. I could easily come back here, Barrington is lucky to have this remarkable piece of Americana.
Prime rib was too done, dry and tasteless. Waitress never came back to ask how everything was we waited and she never came
Finally a another worker came by and we asked him to find out waitress. It was very slow so that can't be an excuse. We didn't receive any bread with our salads we have in the past like I stated the waitress never came to check on us.
I had to ask for a refill for ice tea but didn't receive any ice warm. We talked to the waitress after we tried to eat it and she offer a dessert. Manager came over offer a free dessert also. They sent out 1 dessert with 2 spoons. I'm sorry this is unacceptable. I'm not going to make a scene but that is not customer service. Very disappointing I talked my friend into going there for Prime Rib. I ordered mine medium rare to rare it came out medium very dry. We were to split a dessert how insulting. Will spread the word. Terrible customer service and food.
This was our first visit to Chessie's. Reading reviews ahead of time, I reserved a small table for 2 in the train car. Luckily all the Christmas decorations were still up so it was still very festive. This was a busy Friday night so service was slow but our waitress was great at stopping by. We ordered Herbed chicken and Plank Salmon. I had an incredibly good Lemoncello Rasberrytini. We stopped into the bar on our way out to see the decorations- pretty awesome. We look forward to going back to try some other menu items.
This is located at Ice House Mall and it was my first time in general at this Mall. Anyways, I did Enjoy Chessie’s Restaurant in Barrington and I will be coming back and this is a very safe place!
Best Mahi Mahi tacos with sweet potato tater tots!
Mouthwatering bbq ribs as they fall off the bone!!
It's a MUST to enjoy a meal at Makray!! And soo affordable!
I enjoyed my time spent at Chessies. It is themed as an older-style train station, with at least two complete railroad cars set up for dining or meeting.
The service was a little slow, but we were there as part of a 45-member group for drinks and light fare.
The food prices are very reasonable and the food was tasty!
This is a good location for family get-togethers without breaking the bank.
We ate in a 1920's rairoad dining car. I was in a party of 5. Everyone was very pleased with their selections. Service was friendly and excellent desert selection was pretty to look at and loved by all.
I was extremely disappointed in our dining experience at Chessie's. We were out of town guests. I had read the reviews about this restaurant, and it seemed like a good fit for our family. I knew my kids would enjoy dining on a train car! The atmosphere was fun, but the rest of the experience was not! The food was very general and nothing memorable. I had the Chessie's pot roast special. The meat was tender, but I'm pretty sure the potatoes were from a box. My husband had the Buffalo wings. He was not impressed. The worst part was the service. Our waiter didn't seem to understand or speak English very well. My husband and I didn't mind this, but the server did not understand our questions, which turned out to be a problem. For example, I asked if the macaroni and cheese on the children's menu was Kraft. The server said that it was, so I ordered it for my son. When the food came, it was definitely not kraft. The manager quickly put in an order of chicken fingers for my son. At the end of our meal, I was excited to order the carrot cake. I saw a couple of desserts as we were walking in, and they looked beautiful! When the cake came, the presentation didn't disappoint, but that was where the excitement ended. The cake was very dry and overwhelmed by the sweetness of the frosting. This was obviously not a homemade cake. They probably bought it frozen and then made it look pretty on the plate. Besides all of this, we also discovered that our waiter seemed more interested in being on his phone than he was in helping us. We finally got tired of waiting for our bill, so we all got up. It wasn't until we started walking that he finally put down his phone and walked towards us asking if we were ready for our check! Needless to say, if we were from this area, we would not be returning to this restaurant. Do yourself a favor, and go somewhere else!
