Fullerton Inn - Chester

Had dinner there the other night 4 of our 5 meals were ok, and the 5th one (cranberry chicken was overcooked and bland). Expected better food for the price. Service was good! Bar/dining area was good.

Lovely little spot in center of town. Pleasant staff. Comfortable. Nice continental style breakfast.

We arrived at the Fullerton Inn with another couple on Saturday, 10 29. Check-in is at 3 o'clock but we did some other things prior to arriving and I think we checked in at around 5:15. One couple had a room with a porch and one did not. We were informed of a Halloween parade that would be taking place at 5:40! We were thrilled. We sat on the porch and watched the parade, then walked over to the bonfire to look at all the decorated car trunks for trunk or treat. It was a very nice surprise. The inn is a beautiful old building right on the Main Street. The rooms are small, but have everything you need, including a hairdryer which I forgot to bring. Note that there are no televisions in the room. I was thrilled, my husband, not so much! We ate When we got back from trunk or treat. I was a little sensory overstimulated and Lorraine was kind enough to seat us in a quiet room at my request. I also was not hungry at all due to circumstances beyond my control. Lorraine was also kind enough to make me a personal charcuterie board for my meal. Thank you Lorraine! . All of the staff that we encountered were very nice. The only disappointment was that the new(? gift shop next-door wasn't opening until November 1, and the fabric store a couple of doors down was closed on Sunday and we only did an overnight trip. Unfortunate, as I am a quilter fabric hoarder and I could see lovely Moda fabrics through the windows. Sadly, I see that the fabric store is closing in November. I hope that Chester, along with the rest of the country can pull it together after the pandemic. It's a lovely town with lovely people and great costumes! If you are looking to stay at a place rich with history, rather than a resort type hotel, I highly recommend the Fullerton Inn. It's lovely.

Quant Vermont Inn. This spot was exactly what we needed on a fall evening. Our server, Chloe was excellent. Her energy and spirit added to our dining experience. We started the meal with maple wings that we order extra crisp. The wings were served with warm vermont maple syrup. Yum!! The chicken salad was nicely put together and modeled after a Waldorf salad. The Rueben burger was made with the perfect amount of Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing. The Fullerton burger was made with the right amount of mushroom, onion and blue cheese. We ended our meal with an outstanding maple cream pie slice by from the local Southern Pie co. We will definitely be back!

We were hungry and this was the only place open close by, seated fairly quickly. After ordering the three of four meals came out and the fourth never made it. I ordered a build your own burger, beef -well done, mushrooms, provolone, and jalapeños, substituting fries for chips. Fries overcooked, brown bordering on black and crispy and dry and powdery on the inside. Could not find any mushrooms and two jalapeños. Burger flavor and texture was ok. Don't know if it was a bad day, or just a lack training, the only other people there also commented on the fries.
