Chelo’s Hometown Bar & Grille
Phantom usually dines on the gourmet side when he visits Providence, but he enjoyed the casual atmosphere and basic fare at Chelo's Hometown Bar & Grille.
Atmosphere(8)
A large family restaurant with many tables and booths, Chelo's offers patrons a secluded escape once seated, but not so secluded that you can't chat with neighboring diners.
Menu(9)
This diner-style menu is sure to please. No matter what you're in the mood for, there's a good chance Chelo's has it.
Portions(8)
Phantom felt pleased, but not plump by the end of his meal.
Appetizers(8)
Don't let messy hands stop you from ordering the yummy, spicy Buffalo wings. Simple and tasty onion rings and chicken fingers. And Phantom never met a potato skin he didn't like.
Food and Drink(8)
Excellent, juicy bacon burger served with crispy curly fries. Quality club sandwich. Phantom was stunned at the quality of his sirloin steak with whipped mashed potatoes. Any meal at Chelo's is not complete with out one of their signature frozen drinks.
Desserts(9)
Apple crumb cake is a must for those who enjoy dessert, but not the guilt that comes with it. For those not so afraid of calories, Chelo's chocolate pie is a devilishly delicious treat.
Service(8)
Ready to please everyone who walks through the door. The busboy even laughed at not one, but all three of Phantom's infamous knock-knock jokes.
Cleanliness(8)
Certainly clean enough to satisfy Phantom.
Parking(8)
Right off 195 in East Providence and easily accessible from Interstate 95. Spacious private parking lot is a snap.
Value(8)
Average appetizer cost around $5. Entrees for about $8. You can fill up the whole family without blowing a hole in the family budget. A good meal at a very reasonable price.
