Chelle’s Bar and Grill opened its doors last fall on October 11th. The restaurant’s new owner, Rachelle Frost, said it has been a great start to her new exciting adventure. Rachelle has actually been with the restaurant for much longer though. Under its previous management, Rachelle started waitressing part time back when it first opened. Through the years, Rachelle got to know many people in town and loved being able to visit with all of the guests who came in.

Things have been going really well for Rachelle and her team of 12 employees in the last five months. They have seen the continued support of the community and even growth in numbers and events that take place at Chelle’s. Card clubs, work meetings, wedding showers and receptions are just a few of the things keeping everyone busy at the restaurant.

The party room is still available for private parties, with graduation coming up, this is a great location for parties and get togethers. If you would like to know more about reserving the party room just give Chelle’s a call.

The new menu has also been a hit with guests. You can find simple changes, like being able to substitute onion rings for french fries with your burger. You can also choose between breaded and grilled chicken with you chicken sandwich.
