Wente's - Chesterfield

Wente’s and our server, Keaton, were outstanding to work with. I highly recommend Wente’s. Their food and service was incredible.

They churched the place up a but and no longer sell stag beer, however the food and atmosphere is just as good as ever. Their pizza is fantastic, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Real good service too. Prices are probably on the lower end of average for the valley.

Good ole’ Wente’s. I have been coming to this place for decades. Years ago, it was a very smoky joint, but recently it seems all smoking is on a covered patio. I have not encountered anyone smoking since the last ten trips I have been. It has recently changed ownership, and it appears the new owner is making this joint rock. The food is phenomenal. I like the pizzas, and the burgers. The real test was when I went in and met Rochelle (I probably y spelled it wrong…sorry!! . She was tending bar and had a great personality. She was very welcoming. I ordered a long island and it was one of the best. I knew then I was dealing with a professional. Making the perfect long island is a skill not many bartenders have. She took care of us during our entire visit. What a nice place to go. It seems they are staged properly, there are several servers stopping by, making sure you do not need anything. It is a tag team effort ensuring all customers are taken care of.Now, it would not be fair to say only Rochelle made the best Long Island. On another occasion, a different bartender, (sorry I cannot remember her name, only blonde hair . I hesitated to ask for the long island, but I did, and it was delish too. KUDOS. Well now, we go here often, as we like to socialize with all the friendly staff. They have live music and a real dedication to making your visit great. Food is great, they are great, but please get some better bar stools!!! hahahaha

First, this place allows smoking. Didn't see that on their website so just FYI. It's allowed, so it won't effect my review. Of our two meals the grilled cheese and fries for $8-ish was a good deal. Basic with steak fries or curly fries, but didn't disappoint. For almost $14 the fried clam appetizer basket was over done, so it was dry with no taste other than well done breading. Waitress didn't come back in time to say anything, though staff was very attentive during the rest of our visit. Also, the parking lot floods in the rain, and a soaking wet foot getting out of the car was a buzz kill. If you don't mind the smoke and stick to sandwiches, burgers, etc. it's a popular choice for a dive bar with music and food. As they say, your mileage may vary.

I liked my grilled cheese sandwich. It was a good value and the fries were delicious. The servers were constantly checking in with us and the food was quick to come out of the kitchen. Unfortunately the smoking environment wasn't the best for dining. There were several people near us with cigars plus normal smoking. We were in the tent with the walls closed which didn't leave much ventilation. Vegetarian options: The grilled cheese and fries were delicious
