Chet's Place — Restaurant in Herrick Township

Stayed at Chet's place 2/12-2/14/16 for a ski weekend at Elk Mountain. Chet's is located less than 2 miles from the base of the mountain. We were looking for someplace close since last year we stayed about 40 minutes away. We were looking for convenience more than a comfy hotel room with amenities. We did not know what to expect. To our surprise, Chet's was perfect! Out in the middle of nowhere, it was a breath of fresh air to stay at this little country place. The rooms were clean, comfortable and had everything we needed (and then some). We occupied four bedrooms, had a kitchen, bath and living room. It was cozy and comfortable. The weekend we stayed it was the coldest on record (-8 below 0) and our rooms were very warm, the water hot. Our teenage boys had a blast skiing Friday night and Saturday while the Mom's stayed in and relaxed. Brought some of our own food, but also enjoyed Chet's little restaurant about 5 steps away. It would remind you of a Honky-Tonk bar. Staff extremely friendly and treated the "neighbors" with TLC. Food was delicious much to our surprise and very inexpensive. Live entertainment both nights with two awesome bands. This was a great, quick getaway and I don't think I can say one bad thing about it. Definitely would return!! I highly recommend if you want to stay close to the mountain and enjoy the country local flavor!! Oh, one thing to mention that they do not have cable TV but we didn't mind one bit. WiFi was good for Verizon users. Sprint users was a bit more...

I'll share my view as somebody visiting from out of town. The venue itself is gorgeous, the view is gorgeous, the bathrooms are old and need to be redone. The drinks are good, they only had one person working on a Saturday afternoon lunch hour. We ordered two appetizers, pierogies and fried cauliflower. Pierogies were delicious, three pieces to the order was an odd count. Cauliflower was delicious when it was the small bits, the large bits were still frozen on the inside, and the outside coating was fried but the inside coating was still gummy. We had fish and chips and fried chicken and french fries platters. The fish and chips first arrived frozen, and then when they brought it back out it was overly done. It was very unappetizing and off-putting. The fried chicken was very bland, the seasonings were flower, water, salt and pepper essentially. I'm surprised it has the 4.7 out of 5-star rating. The only reason I gave it the extra star to make it two stars is because of how beautiful the venue is. The service was good, but the one person serving, as I could tell, was exhausted, and did not want...
