    Food wasn't terrible. Ambiance a bit dated. Mostly older crowd. My salmon was not bad, and the brussel sprouts were actually delicious. Shout-out to my waitress Cara who was sweet, courteous, and quickly switched out one of my sides that I wasn't too fond of, with another one. Perhaps a one and done for me, but who knows? I may go back.

    Haven't been here in a long time (don't get to Chester much any longer) but was out this way and my husband suggested we have lunch. The people were so nice, fast service, food came out quickly and hot and it was delicious!

    Grouper

    Great restaurant. We were in town for a softball tournament for our daughter and of course it was also our wedding anniversary. We decided to try this restaurant which we wanted to try last year when we were in town for another tournament(they don't open til late). We of course tried the fried deviled eggs(didn't get a pic) they were so good. Worth getting an order or two. We ordered the grouper which was on the specials menu. Grouper itself was seasoned nicely and nice lite meal. Also ordered the steak and mushroom risotto, so good. Cooked perfectly. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. We ordered the crème brûlée so good and lite. The waitress told us afterwards that the restaurant was giving us our dessert for free for our anniversary which was so sweet. Cute restaurant nice and clean. Would give it a try if in the area.

    Prime rib....very good.

    Howlett's Restaurant & Grill is a good place to get a prime rib. The atmosphere is a laid back with a wooden motif. It's clean and serviceable. Service was attentive and staff frequently asked about refills and if we needed anything. The prime rib was very good. While I don't think it was a prime cut, it was very good in texture, taste and well prepared. Good drink selection and pour. I recommend Howlett's Restaurant & Grill and I'll be back for their prime rib.

Once we were seated, our server came over right away and brought us rolls and honey cinnamon butter. I really want to like their rolls but they are very sweet to me. I even tried them with the regular, whipped butter and I still couldn't seem to enjoy them lol. I decided to order the Cactus Blossom to start and it was actually pretty good. For our entrees, my daughter ordered the Salmon and I ordered the Bone-In Ribeye. The Salmon was a bit dry and lacked some flavor but she enjoyed it. My Bone-In Ribeye was very good. It was cooked perfectly and the caramelized onions added great flavor. The Loaded Baked Potato was also great but I swear it was the biggest potato I've ever seen lol! Overall, we had a great experience. Our server was very nice and the food was good. As we were leaving, the floors were a bit slippery so I hope they fix that issue. Outside of that, we enjoyed ourselves and we'd definitely return.

The ribs fell off the bone, the ribeye was chargrilled and tender, the baked potato was well seasoned and hefty, and the green beans were flavorful and tasty. My mom's salmon tasted like I made it myself which is great because I'm always looking for dishes that taste like home when I don't feel like cooking. My only gripe: When did the rolls get so small?? They were mini rolls smaller than slider size. Still hot, buttery, and delicious, but so friggin' tiny.

My friends and I visited for lunch and were impressed with everything we ordered. Great portion size at a reasonable price. This establishment is top notch for burgers and has a full menu with many choices from salads, wraps and subs. The chicken Philly is one of the best I ever had. A unique creation called the Grubrito is huge and features a blending of flavors including pork belly (smoked on site) a good casual atmosphere. Truly a place where the locals go for a great lunch, dinner or to just unwind. Sorry no pics of the food, it was nicely presented, we were all hungry and just dove into our food.

My server was really patient with me, letting me take my time with the menu and figure out what I was craving. I ordered calamari for a starter and for the main, I had spaghetti with mushroom sauce and eggplant. I went with the side of soup option instead of salad. It was all quite delicious and actually satiated my cravings for pasta, except the soup was a tad bit too salty for my taste. I did take it home and revamped it as a leftover (we don't waste any food here lol!). Overall, I had a good dining experience and will come back again when I'm in the area!

The atmosphere was rather nice and calming, jazz music, not over crowded for a Sunday at 12:30pm. Ruben was on point with the warm complimentary bread + pesto! The mozzarella sticks, he described as rather big but yummy. He was accurate. We also split a chicken Philly sub that was good, the potato chips on the side were a home-made different touch, I appreciated but my little sister wasn't a huge fan. Overall, we will be back! Thanks for having us.

    Estate Restaurant - Colonial Heights, VA 1/5…read moreI visited Estate Restaurant on May 5, 2026 for Cinco de Mayo, but called ahead the day before to confirm what specials they'd be offering. An employee told me they would have $5 margaritas and a 3-taco deal for $10. Based on that, I made plans and brought friends. When we arrived and tried to order the taco special, we were told it didn't exist. When I explained that I had called ahead and been given that exact information, our waitress simply said she didn't know why we were told that. We weren't the only ones -- a table next to us had called ahead and received the same false information. When the manager came over, things went from disappointing to unacceptable. Instead of apologizing for his staff's misinformation, he became combative -- raising his voice and using profanity toward me and my friends. His attitude seemed to be that we were the problem, simply for expecting what we were promised. To make matters worse, the restaurant was severely understaffed with only two waitresses on the floor. Drinks took an unreasonably long time to arrive. When I mentioned this to the manager, he cursed at us again and snapped that he was busy helping other tables. No apology. No accountability. No special. I would not recommend Estate Restaurant to anyone. Poor communication, false promises, and a manager who responds to valid concerns with hostility is not something anyone should have to pay for.
