We were in the area and stopped in for lunch based on their reviews. The food and service were good, and the atmosphere was pretty good, considering it's a "grill." Don't judge a book by its cover. To the owner... I will say that we passed up eating here a different time based on the appearance from outside. The building just looks old and could use a little sprucing up to match the quality of the food and friendly service. If you're not a regular, you might not expect quality food and service.

Impromptu lunch while driving thru town. Sat at bar and had a great roasted turkey sandwich with Brie and chutney and a delicious roasted beet salad with grilled chicken. Unassuming place with great food!

★★★

Everything was eh. We had some pretty expensive food that contained enough salt to justify the price. The waiter forgot a key part of our order, despite us emphasizing it heavily on order. The atmosphere is probably good for Chatham. I would go someplace else next time. For what you pay, it wasn't worth it.

Quick and tasty dinner for a pretty good price! The service was great even with our large group and they had a good selection of specials. I’d especially recommend the cheese ravioli with shrimp and scallops! Some of the drinks weren’t great, but overall we really enjoyed.

We had a reservation for our party of ten. The restaurant was ready for us when we arrived and the waitress was professional and friendly. The hostess checked on us during our dinner and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. I had the tortellini with grilled chicken which I thought was delicious. The service was prompt and just the right amount of leisurely.

We were seated immediately, greeted almost immediately, & the entire experience was great. The food was stellar, much better than expected. Extremely reasonable prices, kid menu available, wonderful cocktail menu. Seriously 10/10 we will be back & we live 2 hours away :)

This place was awesome! We were driving from MA looking for a good place to meet someone from Albany for dinner and this was perfect. Comfortable/casual setting with amazing food options. Everything was delicious! @amp_eats (instagram and Facebook)

Great service! Let me start with that! We got seated right away and our server was very prompt in telling us the specials. We got the seasonal soup and a torta sandwich and salmon salad. The menu was reasonably priced and we loved all the food we ate. The bar and seating area has a rustic feel to it and was quite cozy. The salmon salad was my favorite, it's really fresh and fish was cooked just fine! Our food arrived in a decent time. I wouldn't say it was quick compared to typically how bars serve food so we waited a while. The place wasn't too crowded either so it was a little surprising but it's ok. Our server boxed our food and helped us with the check very nicely. What got us here was their menu which was sounded delicious. Even their dinner options were lovely. Please go try!

Been coming for years and always had a good experience up until I received the check today. They are now charging a non negotiable POS service fee in addition to an extra non-cash fee for using a credit card. I understand the credit card fee and am willing to pay cash if preferred but now Im just angry at my surprise bill instead of happy about the great food. Seriously just increase the price on the menu, at least thats honest and transparent. Ill be thinking twice next time we are going out.

This was an amazing meal. Stopped here after coming out of Boston. Don t let the dive bar atmosphere discourage you from stopping in and getting a bite to eat and a drink. The menu was not anything like we would have expected and had some great options. Some of the best food we had on this trip. Definitely worth the drive getting there, we plan to be back.

So , have taken out from Chatham Grill many times and absolutely love their food!! We just tried to call in a take out order and the female that answered the phone, said Can you please hold a minute? was on hold for 20 min , with no update or communication. Finally hung up and tried to callback for next 15-20 min,getting a busy signal. So we sadly gave up. Being in customer service myself, I understand that people are busy and/or short staffed but honest communication goes a long way. Just getting back on the phone and saying that they were busy and service might be awhile would have been the right thing to do. Extremely disappointed A previously long time Chatham Grill fan

This is one of those places I am hesitant to write about because I dont want it overrun, but for several years now this has been one of our most reliable local places for a simple but delicious meal, served by very friendly people, in a lovely and charming setting. We were there last night for burgers (these are seriously delicious, served with a third of a beautiful caramelized pan-fried onion, really nice cole slaw, and a healthy half-pound patty); we also had the chopped salad (better eat-in than take-out). We also tried the turkey pot pie (again, something I think that would be better there than taken away) which is more like a stew with some bread, and which might be too garlicky for some. We have eaten here probably two dozen times, never been disappointed and sometimes really pleasantly surprised. Parking: Theres a small lot adjacent to the restaurant and reasonably ample street parking

December 21, 2022

My wife and I eat here occasionally and usually the food was OK. We ate here recently and will not return. I had the surf and turf Fajitas and my wife had the brick chicken. The steak in the Fajitas was absolutely disgusting. It was total fat and grizzle so bad I was unable to eat any of the steak. My wife had the brick chicken in the past and it used to be a 1/2 chicken. Now its basically just a chicken breast and it was over cooked. I feel like we threw away $60.00. You guys need to do better.

Had a lite dinner with 5 friends on a Friday night at 6pm. Dining room was busy but not packed. I liked that it was not too loud inside the restaurant. Menu offered many comfort food items. My party ordered a hamburger, chicken wings, meatloaf and fish tacos. Good selection of craft beer and wine. Total check with tip was about $130.

I ve given this place too many chances. We ve stopped eating dine in. The service is always very slow. So we ve been doing take out. The food is decent but nothing amazing. There just aren t a lot of options in Chatham for dinner. But after eating a quesadilla and finding a metal staple in my mouth we re done. I called and they were very apologetic. Refunded the amount for the quesadilla. But the fact is they served me a metal staple in my food that wound up in my mouth. And I easily could have swallowed it. Unacceptable.

I wish this was a better review, but average is all it deserves. Friendly staff saved it from a 2/5. The menu is way too sprawling and clearly the chef had little idea how to execute it well. The gazpacho was tasty, but was a rushed preparation with a tomato juice base. With a few simple touches, namely some ingredients blended together, it could have been excellent. My shrimp scampi with angel hair was drowning in water, random clumps of melted cheese and zero flavor. The burger ordered had to be sent back for a total incorrect cooking temperature. My advice: slash the menu and get those dishes excellent. Have a couple of specials and deliver on them. My fear....Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmare episode.

Lets start off by I was at the bar and it took me 10 to 15 minutes to get a beer the chicken wings were fried to Id say bare minimum legal consumption somewhat on the rare side I say they put hot sauce in their garlic parm Wings which makes no sense and they only gave me 9 of the 10 wings lets just say that was my first and last time going there and they never asked me if I wanted another beer once the first one was gone until I was done with everything by then I was done with them
