Big Red's was established in 1977 after the Swinemar family of Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia decided it was time to combine their business expertise with delicious, unique family recipes for pizza, subs, and donairs and foray into the fast food restaurant industry. Forty years later, Big Red's still maintains its strict standards of food excellence and superb service, and has the popularity, reputation, and profits to prove it.

Hello red ?? Mother tried calling your tiny little diner to talk to you but you never answered your phone.
Mother says thank you for the nice supper and thank you for having your daughter split our hamburg and baked potato on 2 plates for us Also very Christian of you to bring hot water for mother's tea bags she brought in from the meeting at the center we attended. They also had cookies.

Every other restaurant had a line up. This one did not so we ate here. Have to say.... now I know why there was no lineup. Fish was extremely greasy, fries had taste but not in a good way. There were only 4 tables with people (including us) when we sat down but the server seemed to be swamped. One of our party asked for ice water which never came. Another ordered a smoothie which never came but it was on our bill. I asked her to take it off when we were leaving and she remarked that it was still in the blender..... Out of tarter sauce and lettuce. Don't believe I will be returning.

First time trying Garlic Fingers and Big Red’s are stellar! Also love that their donair sauce is so smooth and not at all thick and goopy. Will def make this our new pizza place because their crust is UH-mazing.
Thanks for the very friendly service too! :)

Not a good restaurant for seafood. I ordered the seafood platter with seafood chowder. It came with tiny scallops and little piece of cod; though the flavours were good (Had them bake mine instead of deep fried). Didn’t like the moms chowder, the broth tasted like milk with potatoes, too expensive for 25.99$. Excellent view and service.

Ok....I read one of the previous reviews about " the pizza takes some getting used to" come on! If that's what you have to say about it please just admit its kinda on the yuck said. The reason it's a popular spot is Chester is closed half of the year and the other 2 months its open (see what I did there?) nothing is open past 5pm and good luck to you on sundays.
I guess any pizza is good pizza if you are super hungry.

Big Red's is well know in Chester. The pizza here does take some getting use to, but for the hungry mouths around town, it does the trick.
Some people Love Big Reds, so for that and the fact they have been here a long time they get three stars. I have had friends come and eat here and rave about it.
Myself, I am not so much of a Huge fan, but will eat it if someone buys. Overall Big Red's has a great reputation.

Big Red's has something you never thought you'd find in a village as tiny as Chester: incredible pizza. I was first introduced to Big Red's when I was dating my ex-husband some 20 years ago. At the time, I was a bit taken aback by their unique sauce and topping combinations. Hot dogs? On pizza? You're kidding, right?
But over time, Big Red's grew on me. Even though I no longer live in Chester, I find myself down there from time to time. Whenever I can, I drop by Big Red's and get a pizza to go. Sure, it has to be reheated when I get home - but it's just
