Just finishing up a great meal here at Pren! The standout: the gluten free black cocoa cake made by Claire at Crib bakery across the way. Grass fed burgers were fresh and juicy, gluten free bun was house made and like a biscuit--held up well with the juicy patty. Fries were crispy and made in a separate frier. Gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian diners, there are options for you here! Just ask for the special diets menu. What a great place to eat after visiting nearby Alstede Farms for Fall Apple Picking! About 5 minutes away from the orchard. Small restaurant with a friendly staff, super quick service, board games on premises so come ready to play--and make a reservation before if you can! I got lucky and got seated within 30 minutes of arriving as a walk in. read more

My wife and I had a very nice lunch at Pren Kitchen. We really enjoyed our food and the hostess/server "CC", was very pleasant and a joy to talk to. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Delicious lunch service and welcoming staff. Sat us immediately and allowed my niece to pick up and play with as many games as she wanted. The staff there even helped her grab games and toys to play with. Burger was very very good and the attention to their customers was inspiring. read more

Great selection of foods. My burger was juicy and their French onion soup was probably the best I've had in a while. The broth was thick and had good flavor. I wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. The servers were nice as well. The parking lot gets packed, try to come before noon. read more

Farm to table type food. Innovative recipes. Fresh generous portions minimum wait time/ text to phone when table is ready. Great service. Amazing coffee. read more

Honestly, I was really disappointed with this place. I had heard from many in the area that this was one of their favorite spots. I'm giving three stars because I actually really did like the cheesesteak egg roll, although I don't know why it was served in an absolute lake of sriracha Mayo? The pierogis were good as well, being served over caramelized onions and topped with scallions. I really enjoyed the flavor and texture of these. My fiancé ordered the roast beef panini sandwich, which was unbelievably dry. Like to the point where you got that feeling that you needed to drink water just to get it down. Wasn't even able to finish half of it. My chicken and egg sandwich was alright, but the egg served wasn't fully cooked to the over easy style considering it still had a slimy clear membrane layer on top that slid off as I picked it up. It was a messy eat, but other than those issues the sandwich was good. Probably won't return here, but the ambiance and placement is a cute spot. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE food is super yummy the renovations they made are terrible though, place is super small barely any space. the service is pretty good though they are really nice. this is my favorite restaurant in chester!!! read more

This hidden gem has great food, funky vibe and great service. Has a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. It was superb.

Friends and I have just discovered this wonderful local eatery... From the moment we walked in the door everyone was super friendly... We ordered several different items on the menu and for the first time we ordered coffee... The coffee was amazing they even brought a package out to us so we could see what brand it was. They went above and beyond to make sure our time there was fun, efficient and everything delicious. And I like to add that I've been there three times since this first encounter. read more

First time here. Had the beet and spinach salad which was fresh and good. Service was attentive and friendly and it's very casual. The only thing is that it is expensive for what it is-- $18 for a salad is a bit much. I had a hot tea and with a 20% tip it was $26 for a salad and tea. read more

Great food, fantastic service, and a wonderfully welcoming environment. The front of house folks are always attentive and kind. The falafel, butternut squash, and Brussels Sprouts are not to be missed, but really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

I would recommend that people try this place at least once. It's good but not the greatest. It had a nice, modern, rustic feel to it. The staff were polite and courteous. I liked the idea that the desserts were on display when you first walked in. There was a little issue with privacy though, your conversation can be heard from everyone due to the size of the room and how easily the sound bounce off the walls. Banana Bread French Toast - 9/10 PROS: Tasted amazing, sweet but not too sweet. Walnuts added a nice crunch to the dish. Was generous with the s0yrup. CONS: Portion size not desirable, meant to enjoy the dish, not to get full by it. Sausage Egg & Cheese w/ Salted fries - 8/10 PROS: Tasted good, portion size for the price was decent. CONS: Nothing really seperated it from others like it, its forgettable. read more

Simple dishes wish an elegant twist. We loved our food and experience at Pren Kitchen. The staff was wonderful and the atmosphere at the restaurant is enjoyable and inviting. Such a great place to dine. We will be back. read more

I read everyone else's reviews before trying this place and I'm happy to say I had the same experience as everyone else. The food was very good and fresh. The menu had a lot of the typical things you would expect like burgers and French onion soup which is nice if your not in adventurous mood but it also had a lot of unique dishes like the short rib pot pie with a caramelized butternut squash. It was delicious. My 16 year old son, who sometimes has trouble finding something he wants to eat, had the opposite problem here. It was my first time going there so I don't have anything to compare to but the entrees we had seemed more like lunch size portions then dinner but it could have just been the entrees we ordered. Both my son and I are pretty good eaters and we both wished we order an appetizer. My wife, who was not with us, wants to go back after hearing about our experience and seeing the menu so we will be going back soon. The place is reasonable priced considering it's Chester New Jersey. If your going for dinner don't go to late. I think they close at 8:00 pm. It's right off main street in a plaza of a few other businesses and there's plenty of parking. All in all it was pleasant experience. We now have a new local restaurant to add to our list of places we like to eat. read more

Good atmosphere. Nice seating area. There is some cold air that keeps coming in through somewhere that during winter could make a bit difficult experience. Food selection is limited but good. Soups could be better served hotter. Prices are really high. Compared to soups and salads at Panera these are steep prices. read more

Nice place, simple but good atmosphere. Great friendly staff, and love the menu. Still "comfort food" but with modern style. Great desserts too. GF options available, dedicated fryer and really good GF buns for the burgers which keeps my celiac son very happy. read more

Was great from service to food to ambience, definitely it is a repeat I tried the short rib pot pie and my partner tried the arugula salad with chocked and both were fresh and tasty read more

I love Pren! It's a super cozy and relaxed atmosphere. I love their creative menu and the servers are always so nice!! Some items I have tried and loved: BUFFALO CHICKEN EGG ROLLS (a tad spicy but ... amazing!!!!), their chicken pot pie (I think they only have this in fall and winter) and any quiche special they have. Never disappointed here and love coming for lunch! read more

The service was amazing and understanding. Meeting someone who was late and came from a distance. Didn't pressure us to rush or leave. Lots for a vegetarian to love. Can't comment about the burger side. Will return when in the area and would recommend. read more

I have been eagerly awaiting this new spot! Had dinner here with a friend and kids last week and it did Not disappoint!!! Food comes out super fast, love the decor and most importantly food was delicious. We had the kale salad (yum), tomato ricotta tart app, squashy pumpkin thingy (omfg--we ordered a second helping), chicken sam, a burger, mac n cheese, pulled pork hoagie, chicken fingers, and for dessert EPIC apple pie and black and white cake paired with FANTASTIC coffee. The owner came to chat and make sure we enjoyed everything. Loved hearing about their vision. My only suggestion would be that the drink selection from cold case wasn't fantastic and had no options for kids like organic milk/juice. Def needs that plus some fancy soda and more bougie stuff, not just coke and snapple. I feel like it did not match the food menu. Fresh pressed juices/lemonade would be great. Overall a great addition to Chester food scene. Wish they were open for breakfast! read more

Pren - Chicken sandwich - American Near Me - Chester, New Jersey

Every bite was amazing! I was looking for comfort food and this place had great reviews. Just as the other reviews say everything was perfect. My family of 3 had a French onion soup, the meatloaf, chicken pot pie and buttermilk chicken fingers and for sides we got the Brussel Sprouts, carrots and butternut squash. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Portion sizes were pretty good and the prices weren't too bad. My wife said the butter nut squash was the best she has ever had! The staff was also super friendly. We will be back again soon for sure. Check out this hidden gem, you won't regret it! read more

Tried Pren after it was the first place to pop up on a google search for food near me. I have only been in the area once before and it was for a business meeting so I really was down for whatever good food suggested my way. Firstly I loved how hometowney it felt. The staff seemed like they were all friends in the same high school class, they helped each other when hands were full, said sweet goodbyes to staff that was leaving for the night, wore cute tshirts as a uniform. The place feels like a living room that got transformed into a restaurant. It was all decorated sweetly and they even have games for kids (and all others) to play while waiting for food. The food itself was good too! I got chicken fingers for an app, a burger for my meal, and then I tried their pumpkin tres leches for dessert. Some of what I was eyeing to order unfortunately was no longer available, which was a bummer. The chicken fingers reminded me a lot of Stickys Finger Joint. Not crispy, just kinda juicy, but their sauces made up for the lack of crisp. The bbq sauce they use is watery but tastes really great. Their fries were amazing, super thin but perfectly crisp and salted. Burger was pretty standard, they butter the bun which I personally am not a fan of but it tasted just fine nonetheless. However the clear winner of the meal was the pumpkin tres leches. I mean.... Seriously... one of the best things ever to grace my mouth. So so so good. I wish they had more options or at least didn't run out of options, and some of their menu items don't make sense to me. But I could just not be totally woke to some combinations that might be unexpected! Overall, atmosphere and staff was a 5/5, my meal was a 4/5, my dessert broke the scale. Would definitely be back :) read more

Small brunch menu. But everything we had was fantastic. Highly recommend everything we tried .... frittata, omelet, pancakes and pastries ... Many condiments (maple syrup, hot sauces) supporting local businesses as well. Nice service, cool design internally .. Will be back read more

My sister and I went on a a little drive today to pick up a FB Marketplace find. Once we secured the goods, we thought we'd explore the area. Using handy-dandy Yelp, we found this gem! It did not disappoint! The staff is a bunch of youngsters who had manners for days! The menu gives you a heads up that the establishment likes to employ "first time workers"...which encourages you to be kind and all patrons just want these "kids" to succeed! Amazing establishment, great food and fantastic vibe!! read more

Delicious food, cute atmosphere, great service! Bakery items looked good, will have to try next time!

Highly recommend Pren Kitchen! We are repeat customers and Pren never disappoints. Last week Kraig and team catered our daughter's rehearsal dinner at our home. Exceptional food and service from Kraig, Cece and Brady! Our guests are still raving about the food; buffalo chicken egg rolls were a bit hit! Thanks Kraig and Stacey for everything! read more

Great food & staff. Portions are not huge. Nice change of pace from many other Chester eateries.

First time here tonight and we will be back!! Food was delicious and service was great. We had the brussels and french onion soup to start, which were both delicious. Then the short rib pot pie and a caesar salad. Make sure to try the oren french fries (rosemary and parm). Dessert was even better, très leche cake and flourless brownies. The brownies were so fudgey. Atmosphere is adorable and intimate, which makes it great for date night. read more

Great little place with healthy options. Portions are reasonable. You won't leave gorged. High quality ingredients. Totally recommend

Food was very good, a nice setting for having lunch, very good service, but very pricey

Based on Yelp reviews, we stopped here during the week. Outdoor dining, easy and comfortable. Everything is homemade, delicious. The falafel wrap was excellent, also homemade. Parmesan fries were really good. Chicken salad wrap was tasty, fresh with lettuce and tomato. Perfect amount for lunch. We will return. Bonus, bathroom was immaculate, so important now. read more
