Chadwick’s Restaurant and Bar

I’ve been back-​and-​forth about Chadwicks’s. I want to like it, it has a nice atmosphere interesting specials and bar menu’s. They’ve seem to struggle over the years to find themselves, but I think they’re starting to get it.
I now prefer this as a happy hour kind of place. Their bar menu with their $ 5 appetizers are all very tasty but not the typical hot wings, mozzarella sticks, nachos, etc that you get at a dive bar. The dragon shrimp appetizer is very good as is the homemade potato chips, and cheesesteak spring rolls.

thank you to the staff at Chadwick’s for providing and excellent Thanksgiving Dinner. it is so nice to have dinner with family at Chadwick’s. No fuss, no mess, and, they send you home with left overs.
Plenty of food and the price is right.

My wedding was absolutely wonderful! From the staff to the food everything was above and beyond my expectations. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and how beautiful the ceremony and venue space was at Chadwick’s. We all had the best
day. Thank you!

I figured I would give the Sunday Brunch a second chance, and I would NEVER go back again. It is a all you can eat buffet style with customized omelets, fresh fruit, salad, potato salad, pastries, deserts, eggs, meat, french toast, pancakes and waffles. The food had absolutely no flavor, I had to add pepper and salt as needed just to make it taste better, even the cheesecake had no flavor! On a side note: the cream cheese for the bagels were in a bowl (without ice) right next to the hot toaster, probably not good for bacteria growth. The brunch lasts from 10 – 2, I came at 12:30 and it was not very busy. Save yourself $ 15 and get a good breakfast somewhere else.

Second time here for prime rib Sunday special. 1^st time it was great. Tonight was poor. Even the baked potato arrived mildly warm. Won’t be back. Service and quality inconsistent.

I will not be returning to Chadwicks. The wait staff is extremely rude. Last nite our server never brought out our dinner rolls and never checked on us once during the entire dinner. We thought she had left. Apparently she had a bigger party that was more important than us. My salad was not fresh. It seemed as though it had been sitting out all day. I asked our server when I ordered if my dinner was considered «an entrée» because the kids eat free with purchase of entrée. She said yes but when the bill came we were charged for the kids meals. The manager Aaron did not handle the situation professionally. Poor management, rude staff, crappy food. Will take my business elsewhere thank you.

Arrived on ⁰⁶⁄₀₄ service was fast and polite.
Food was good and arrived in a timely fashion.
Reasonably priced.

Let me start by saying we had a wonderful server who happen to be the bartender too. Stephanie was a joy, especially having dined here before and not having the best of service. I felt that the chef is trying to do some very interesting spins on the dishes. Our mozzarella app was wedges with a nice panko crust served with roasted tomatoes and basil leaves, interesting and yummy. My cod entrée was over cooked but the hash of silver queen corn, bacon and potatoes under it was excellent. My husbands short rib stuffed pasta was just ok. That was not expected because the last time we had eaten here the Braised Tuscan short rib, on the daily menu, over pappardelle was excellent. A suggestion would be not to get their mini dessert and just order off of the dessert menu… Mini’s taste like they might be leftovers from Sunday brunch buffet.

Went there for Sunday brunch… Horrible!!! Very few selections, had to ask to have food refilled while the staff just stood around, service was terrible she forgot our drinks many times we had to ask another server for drinks, pasta was dry and bland, they had bruschetta and an olive topping but nothing to put them on and when I asked three different employees including a manager they looked at me like I was crazy to ask where was the bread or something to put those on and they just said I don’t know, and the potato salad was warm!!! Never go there never waste your money!!!

I came here for a rehearsal dinner. My brother is on a raw, vegan and gluten-​free diet. When I explained this to the waitress, she didn’t eye roll, instead she was extremely accommodating. The chef started by making a fruit salad, a vegetable salad for dinner along with a sorbet. My brother absolutely loved it and he was introduced to new food to eat. Honestly, this really impressed me.
I ate the Crab Cakes, which were layered with Corn Bread and came with Red Pepper Aioli. It wasn’t a combination I would have thought of, but it was really good.
The only issue I had with Chadwick’s Restaurant was that the area that we had the rehearsal dinner in wasn’t sectioned off completely. We were all eating in multiple tables, which was fine, but in order for other customers to get to the bathroom, they walked through the area where we were seated. This made things very awkward during toasts and when we were trying to speak across the tables.

I attend Chadwicks here and there with my coworkers because they like the nachos there. I don’t really understand the hype, never been a fan of the «Dried cheese nacho» but whatever. Anyway, it is a beautiful restaurant with nice outdoor scenery and available seating. Also well equipped with many tv’s to show any prime time event on tv. Unfortunately for us and for Chadwicks… we were there for the food. Never had anything here that really wowed me. Other than the service, with which there numerous times where I said «Wow! This service is terrible.» It’s as if 9 out of 10 servers there just started working there… every time. They often struggle dealing with larger parties in a timely manner in terms of food prep and seating… overall just very average. It’s a beautiful place and if you’re into the country club scene, it may suit you. But this review is for the restaurant.

Excellent service, got seated right away. Food was delicious from the goat cheese bruschetta app to the lava cake dessert. Also very reasonably priced. For two ppl for drinks, 2 apps, 2 entrees and a dessert for $ 60! Highly recommend. Will be coming back soon bc everything on the menu looked great!

This is not a review as much as it is a wake up call to the people running this place. To start the place is beautiful; the bar area, the banquet hall, the restaurant, and the outdoor Patio — especially the outdoor area… Nice job on all that good stuff! To start kill the music you play as it is truly horrible!!! As we sit here enjoying a drink I’m listening to Stevie Wonder «I just called to say I love you»… No one under 50 thinks this song is appropriate to play in a bar. Please I beg you change the music selection! Since I’m on music why not give some live music on the patio a chance. The outdoor space is huge and is perfect for a live band. Finally, put in an outside bar! Outside bar would be perfect and could really turn this place around! Oh and one more thing… I realize I wrote finally earlier, however one more thing occurred to me… Get some Hendrick’s Gin! Seriously how can you not have Hendrick’s Gin???

I’m actually sitting at Chadwicks writing this review because of how freaking SLOOOW the service is. 15 mins and counting to get my check. There’s a whole 3 other tables occupied in here, I don’t really get what the wait staff is up to.
Anyway, I give this place props for the delicious phyllo cheesesteak (try it out) with provolone cheese. On the other hand, they get low ratings as far as service and attentiveness goes. It took forever to get my meal, the waiter didn’t come and check on us and is taking way too long with the check (yes, still waiting). I can’t deal right now. If you also cannot deal with painfully slow service, I suggest you find somewhere else to dine.

Unacceptable.
Friday night at 6:30 and there is a 30 – 40 minute wait for a table when the restaurant and bar are at half capacity. Clearly overextended and under staffed with two private parties.
When this place is empty during the week next week and we’re not at the bar supporting your business… remember the catering was more important tonight.
I’ve watched a dozen families turned away. This is embarrassing to watch. You’re in the restaurant business Chadwick’s …it’s called hustle.

A solid 3 stars.
Located on the grounds of just an average public golf course, Chadwick’s and it’s very nicely decorated and furnished interior, it’s beautiful bar was my destination for the evening.
Service at bars (as the servers cannot run and hide in the kitchen) is usually very good and this was no exception. There was a decent selection of drafts (decent is defined by me as having more than a handful of crafts including a minimum of 2 IPA’s), and what looked like a varied selection of top shelf liquors.
Appetizer specials at the bar for $ 5 were just OK. It was recommended to try the cheese steak spring roll (dry meat and couldn’t taste the cheese) and the dragon shrimp (small shrimp, small flavor except for the sriracha sauce), the asian slaw served with the shrimp was OK… overall I could have done without.
Entrees, the brick chicken had terrific crispy skin, a full half chicken. The leg and thigh were very good, but the breast was way overdone and dry. It was served with dry mashed potatoes and garlic laden broccoli. The pork shank was described by our server as fall from the bone, it was, but it was drier and not as tender as one would wish. The shank was served with a pappardelle pasta in a thick tomato sauce. The flavors of the pork, pasta and sauce were good, but the shank could have been more moist and less chewy.
There were many things on a very reasonably priced menu that I would like to try in the future. So I will go back, but not necessarily soon.

So what is a «Country Club» atmosphere you ask? Well, since you asked, I’ll tell you. Most country clubs have golf courses so that’s often included in the vibe of these places. Chadwick’s is no exception.
The dining room and bar overlooks the course with lots of windows. There is outside seating which is killer for Happy Hour on a balmy summer day. The mahogany bar is very nice and it’s in an upscale white tablecloth restaurant. Just because I said upscale doesn’t mean you need to dress up. Casual clothes are just fine.
If you want to give them a try I suggest either the Happy Hour or the weekday lunch special. Every weekday you can choose between two soups, a hot or cold ½ sandwich and a side salad for $ 8 and change.
Today I chose mushroom soup which was loaded with those wonderful fungi and had a nice touch of sherry. My side salad was plated beautifully but could have been a little bit fresher. My ½ roast beef wrap was packed with meat and included tasty horseradish on the side.
Service was very speedy which is always appreciated at lunch.
Down the road at the corner of Egypt and Trooper is every fast food joint and chain you can imagine. Sometimes you just sigh and say «I need something different today.» Chadwick’s might be a pleasant change for you.

This review is solely for happy hour.
Is it odd that many of my reviews start out with that first sentence? Hmm.
Chadwicks a little off the beaten path, since the restaurant itself is hardly visible from the road (luckily there is a large sign by the road so you can’t actually miss it) and not located next to any other businesses. The restaurant is much larger than I anticipated. You walk in to a wide open foyer with a host stand, and you can choose to walk into the bar or be seated in their spacious dining room. But again, this review is not for the dining room.
I made it to happy hour the minute it started — and not by accident. There were only a few patrons already there, and so the bartender was quick to take care of me. There are many specials. Domestics are a mere $ 2 and all of the rest of their drafts, which included at least a half dozen craft and imported selections. House wine glasses AND well drinks are only $ 3.50. There is literally something for everyone here. (Except for my bff’s adorable stepmother who asked the bartender for sprite zero. So cute. Just so you know, Chadwicks and any other bar on the planet do not have sprite zero.)
There’s also a special on appetizers for happy hour. I’m pretty sure it’s half off appetizers, but don’t quote me as it’s been a month or two since I’ve been, and their website doesn’t list the price. We were going somewhere else for dinner, but decided to try out their goat cheese bruschetta appetizer. The bite that I was able to snag was really good, I would absolutely order it again. I can’t comment on the rest of their food, but I did peruse the menu and was surprised by the reasonable prices. Perhaps that’s not a good thing, actually. Either way, I will definitely be back for $ 2 bud lites and yummy bruschetta!

I worked at Chadwick’s for many years as a server and bartender, so I may be a bit biased in terms of my overall liking of the place, but I now go there regularly as a customer and look forward to dining and drinking there. I really do. Their food is awesome, especially since they updated the menu several months ago. The restaurant itself is a bit removed from the main roadway, but the place is really a gem at the end of a long driveway.
Here are my personal food recommendations:
Apps: You can never go wrong with the Dragon Shrimp or Calamari. If you are watching your waistline, then order the Chicken Wraps.
Entrees: I am obsessed with the Blue Corn Tacos, and I always order them with the pulled pork, or fish (blackened Talapia is my favorite.)
Other favorites include the fish market selections (get the artichoke heart beurre blanc preparation — I usually have it with the salmon) and this time of year especially, the Low Country Short Ribs are the way to go. They are comfort food at its finest.
Salads — Try the Grilled Chicken and Pear or the Chophouse.
Wine — The wine menu changes a few times a year, but if you order a bottle try the Aquinas red Cabernet if they still have it.
Beer — Let the bartenders recommend a craft beer for you — they know what’s good!
Speciality Drinks — Champagne Cosmo
Desserts — Bread Pudding. Ask for a take out box and then eat the other half for breakfast, it’s even better the next day.
I also love the staff at Chadwick’s. Some of them I worked with for a long time, (the friendly bartenders, for example and a couple of the current servers) and many others I do not know personally. However, all of them are consistently warm, friendly, and always make me feel welcomed and appreciated.

Went for brunch on ⁵⁄₆ with my sister. It’s 14.99 per person. On the brunch buffet they had a carving station, omelet station, waffles/​french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, various breads and pastries. Of the lunch variety they had stuffed shells, chicken marsala, deviled eggs, various pasta salads, garden salad, and some desserts.
Food was not warm and lacked flavor. The omelet station had little options, but was the hottest and most flavorful thing I ate. I left hungry and unsatisfied. I will not return for brunch.
