I don't normally leave reviews but this place is INCREDIBLE!!!!! My husband and I wouldn't usually order steak from a restaurant because we are somewhat picky (we really love a garlic steak cooked at home)... but this was the best steak I've ever had. My husband says it rivals the steaks I make at home, which is a huge compliment to me and Chelos because we take steak seriously! My husband also really enjoyed Chelo's Chicken Parmesan as well!! We will definitely be repeat customers, this is going to be my hyper fixation restaurant.

We ordered the Strawberry Shortcake and the Lemon Meringue pie and they were SOOOO GOOD. For the price, the portion size is very generous. Highly recommend if you're a dessert lover and want something more than the usual ice cream or Cheesecake Factory

I love the burgers and chicken fingers baskets. Both are s juicy and flavorful. Ive never gotten a bad meal. The staff and servers at Chelo's Smithfield are very friendly and helpful. Definitely oneof my favorite go to spots for good, solid fare !!

$15 for one pint of chili is outrageous, especially under the banner of “homemade,” when it really tasted like something that came out of a bag you drop in a boiling pan to heat and serve; it tasted just as processed as what comes from Wendy’s for half the price.
Also, the owners of Chelo’s really should secretly order from DoorDash for a quality check, because the food arrived as if they didn’t care and just threw it in boxes. The packaging had no appeal. Here’s a good hint: order from Applebee’s and Chili’s and take notes on how they pack their food for delivery for some ideas.
Food, even humble food, deserves a gesture of care. Without it, you’re not serving a meal — you’re serving indifference.
