7 reviews for The Dudley Chateau
Man, you gotta love the Chateau. Or the Chat (pronounced "shat") as it's known. The place looks like a run-down place you'd find in some New England coastal town that never quite made it as a tourist destination. The bar is mostly local business types and/or old men who revel in the dirt-cheap PBRs available.
The food is decent. The Chat Burger is solid, though if someone in your party asks for well done, you ALL get well done. Discourage these people from asking for their burger a tasteless brick. The fries were good, and as one would expect, the food is not at all expensive. The staff was friendly when some food was sent back for being inedible in their well done-ness.
Anyway, the Chat is great for a solid lunch. I'd go back any time. And you can't beat that lake view.

I have been going to the Chateau for years. I am really excited about the new owners and the delicious new menu. I had the Blue Burger and it was the best burger I have had in some time, totally delicious. You have to try it! I was disappointed in July when I came in at night for drinks b/c the bartender skipped all of our awesome jukebox songs, but lunch this past week has surely brought me back up to full support. (stop skipping songs!) The waitress was delightful too, even though they were swamped. You simply cannot beat the view on a nice day. Go for lunch and stay for many Wachusett Green Monsta ales, they are delicious.
This place recently closed and lost its liquor license. It is now reopened with a food menu. My family went here for dinner and the food wasn't bad. It was pretty typical "bar food" with good wings and mini "slider" burgers. The bar tender was very accomodating considering we were the only ones there for dinner), especially with my 11 year old neighbor.
Yay, the Chat is open again. It's under new ownership and has been left pretty much the same except for some of the old paraphernalia which is gone. Oh, and there's a new kitchen... with real food... on a regular basis. Awesome.

For sure, this place is one of a kind, but I mean that in a good way. Lunch is simple and cheap -… Read more »
The Chat was a favorite treat for lunch in Natick for me. The old speakeasy thing with Babe Ruth history and the really out of the way location all speaks loudly in there. Food isn't special (though cheap with friendly staff) but the atmosphere/history/experience is. I don't know about any renovations, but I'd be sorry to see it TOO renovated. However, I'm glad someone is taking care of it, as it could use a little TLC.

This place is unbelievable. Words can not really do it justice.
It's a former speak-easy that has somehow held on via support from the locals of Wayland and Natick. Babe Ruth and Ted Williams used to fish on Dudley Pond, and whet their whistles inside the Chat.
It's cheap and the bartenders are friendly. You have to see it for yourself.

A real dive with tons of charachter for when you want something different or a cool dive. This place is in a house at the end of a road overlooking a pond in a residential neighborhood. Alot of town-city-workers hide out here and pound cans of bud. There is a pool table and dart board and a great view. No food other than pretzels. Don't be imtimidated when you get there, walk in.
