About this restaurant

All the way back in 1955, the four sons of an immigrant millworker decided to take a chance. They opened a restaurant on Cumberland’s bustling Mendon Road with nothing to their names other than a shared dream and vision - fresh and local ingredients, prompt and friendly service, all to be had at an unbeatable value. They developed a motto and never steered away from it – “If you are not proud of it, do not serve it!”. That restaurant was the original Chelo’s Hometown Bar & Grille, and that motto can be found hanging in each of our kitchens to this very day.
While times change, our values don’t. As a third generation, family owned and operated company, our food is still made fresh in our commissary 7 days a week and delivered to each of our locations daily . Same ingredients, same recipes, same classic food that Rhode Islanders have come to know and love since our grandfathers first opened our doors nearly 70 years ago!

    They were packed, but when we arrived our table was ready. Service was super fast, best burgers we’ve had in a long time- and cooked to order. 2 meals, 3 alcoholic drinks & dessert $56!! We were shocked, it’s usually a lot more. We’ll definitely be back Oh and waiter was great too

    Some people were very nasty. Coughing like with a cold . Instead of getting up and going to the bathroom. It make others feel disgusting about the food and place

    It was Valentine’s Day, and the restaurant was very crowded, as expected! We had made a reservation on Open Table and we were seated promptly! Our waitress Dee, was so personable and did not rush us at all. She took our drink and app order and gave us plenty of time to enjoy before bringing out dinner. Everything was hot and cooked to order. We love Chelo’s food and staff!

    Tyler was great as our Valentine’s Day server. The music playing was pretty loud in dining room which made conversation challenging. Food was served hot. Average quality and reasonable prices.
