My husband and I had a great dinner here after a long day! The service was good, it didn't take long for our food to arrive, and everything was delicious! The atmosphere is really nice, it felt cozy but still upbeat. I had the fish and chips with (I think) a cranberry slaw and it was so very good!! We also had a pretzel appetizer which was very tasty. It was a very good dining experience and we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area! read more

We got super lucky with this gift card. My husband and I won a CharBar gift card at a fundraiser raffle, and honestly I had never heard of CharBar before. Now I realize how much I was missing out. They have a small outside seating area in the front, and there are plenty TVs at the bar. We were seated in a great spot at one of the high tops in the back in the booth seating. The service was excellent. I was really impressed!! I LOVED their blackened chicken quesadilla with black beans, pepper Jack cheese, bacon and fresh jalapenos. My husband enjoyed the Glazed Haystack Chicken especially with the fried onion strings on top and the bourbon sauce. We even got some extra bourbon sauce and I was able to dip quesadilla in it. There were so many great looking items on the menu it was difficult to choose. Next time I want to try their filet mignon or their build your own salad. I read more

My husband and I stopped by for a quick lunch and a drink. Food was delicious, our service, not so much. We chose to sit at the bar and the bar tender wasn't personable at all. She seemed to not want to be there at all and was very blunt. read more

CharBar is a consistent pub. The food is good and the prices are actually pretty good relative to everything else going on these days. I had the wings this time round and they were good. The service was ok. They were happy to switch a TV to the Man U. ?New Castle game. The ambiance was ok. read more

We had a great dinner here with some friends. We all got something different. I had the fish and chips. The fish (cod) had a light crispy batter and was perfectly cooked. The chips were chipped thick potatoes. The kale slaw that accompanied it was good too. Very good and very different. The burgers were really good. Service was great. We had a great time. read more

Nothing to crow about! We met our daughter for lunch to watch some of the Kansas City Chiefs game before a leisurely bike ride. Our daughter arrived 15 minutes early and was seated at a table outside. By the time we arrived, the sun had heated up the top of table. The server, Ravyn, had brought my daughter a soda but had not returned. We sat down and after a while the server appeared and asked what we would like to drink. We both ordered soda, and then, my daughter asked if we could move to a recently-vacated table in the shade. Ravyn responded that she could ask. My husband then asked if the television could be changed, so we could watch the Chiefs. Ravyn responded that they were not allowed to change the television stations whatsoever. We ordered three burgers and waited and waited and waited. By this time, my daughter was roasting in the sun and the shady table remained empty. My daughter went inside and asked the hostess if we could move. Her response was absolutely. She said to give her a few minutes to have the table cleaned. We waited again. Finally, my daughter asked the hostess again if the move was possible. She apologized and explained it was busy and she forgot. She was very nice. We moved to the table before our food arrived. My daughter ordered #7 burger with chips. My husband ordered the white BBQ pita, and I ordered the MOS burger. The fries, chips, and mushrooms were cold and the burgers were mediocre. Ravyn made few visits to the table with brusk responses when we made requests. Perhaps, she was having a bad day. It has been a while since we visited Char Bar, and unfortunately, it will be a while before we return. read more

Charbar never disappoints! Tried something new, buffalo chicken wrap with side of Brussels sprouts. The wrap was solid but the Brussels were soooo good. Highly recommend. If the weather is nice, highly recommend sitting on the patio. Great spot! read more

Great service, great atmosphere and superb food! I had the blackened shrimp tacos which were excellent. They were full with shrimp, a slaw that was fresh and tasty. They also included pico that had a little heat to it but didn't have you reaching for a drink. The two tacos came with a side and I chose tater tots. The tots were your average tots but came alive with a spicy ranch dip! My husband had a burger which he found to be delightful. read more

Super happy with our meals!! We sat at a high top near the bar because the outside patio was packed. The pino noir selection was nice with decent options. They have Coke products!! So mixed drinks are definitely better. The ahi tuna salad was a beautiful presentation and full of flavor. It was a nice portion and filling. The salmon salad was perfection! The salmon was requested medium and was done exactly as asked. The salad was fresh with delicious dressing that made your tongue tingle with flavor. The cheeseburger with onion straws was huge and so so good. It came with tater tots and they were fried perfectly. They were a light golden brown, crisp outside and creamy in the inside. Our waitress was busy but did a nice job. I'll be back! Great food and great atmosphere. read more

Absolutely 10/10 all across the board!! Where do I begin? First of all I've had this spot bookmarked for a while now and got a chance to experience them this weekend as I celebrated my 50th birthday! The food was amazing start to finish we tried the buffalo chicken dip which was very tasty however I was not a fan of the crumbled crackers on top it was almost overbearing but the flavor was on point! I had the ribeye steak the hubs had a chicken sandwich our guests had the pasta & a chicken dish I do not remember the names but everything was delicious our waitress and servers provided top tier service we asked to move to a booth no problem they bought out a extra buffalo dip that we didn't order but have it to us as a courtesy and everything was done with a smile she was fantastic great drinks and I'm a forever fam of their expresso martinis this spot is perfect for a date night or girls night out the ambience is perfect for intimacy as well as fun with all the tv's my husband mentioned it was my birthday at the end of the night and they still had a brownie and ice cream packed up to go!! I absolutely love this place & will definitely be back! Highly recommended!!! read more

A favorite for us in the Birmingham area. We went twice during our recent visit there. Great atmosphere and the servers are kind. Food and drinks were great. read more

We arrived at 6:15 to get a table for 3. About a dozen tables in the restaurant were empty and remained empty while we waited an hour for a table. Bartender was very friendly while we waited. We were finally seated and ordered, noting a dairy allergy with the waitress. About 40 minutes went by before our food came out. It came out incomplete and incorrect. The burger for the person with a dairy allergy came out with cheese. It was 10 minutes later after the burger was returned that plain hamburger patties were brought to the table. The waitress informed us then that the buns had high levels of dairy. The food was not very good. Steak was chewy, chips were bland, hamburger patties were bland and dry. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

We booked a table through Open Table and got there early. They said they would let us know when they could seat us. We waited at the bar for an hour. The table we ended up being seated at remained vacant the entire hour that we waited. The bartender, Josh (I think), checked on a table for us twice which was nice. Next we had a guest with a dairy allergy who told the waitress that she could not have milk, cheese, or butter. The waitress did note that. Guest ordered a burger. The first burger came out with cheese. It was sent back. We had to ask the waitress twice to check on the burger. They then sent back a bland, dry burger patty only with pickles on the side. Then they said there was dairy in the buns. They should have specified that when it was ordered so that the guest could have changed the order. One plus was the desert pear margarita that Josh recommended was great as well as the crabcakes. That's it. We were there 2 hours and left very disappointed. We will not be back and would not recommend this place. read more

Arrived and host seated us right away. Not busy. A few people at the bar and 3 tables occupied inside and about 4-5 outside. Did not see a waitress/waiter for a few minutes. I'm thinking they are probably short staff. One of the tables inside near us left and two waitresses cleaned it. Still no one came to ours. Waited some more thinking they'll be coming. After over 15 minutes I observed two parties of two people being seated and within seconds a waitress came to their table. Got up and left. I understand when restaurants are short staffed but not even a "hey I'll be right with you guys". Nothing. This was our first time and our last. read more

The food was a cut above with great serving sizes. The shrimp tacos were very nice and a large serving.

We came here on a Sunday after lunch, looking forward to a good brunch meal. We were sat promptly. Our wait staff was nice and professional. We decided on getting the fried mushrooms as an appetizer. They were very tasty, and they were a good size. I got an a whiskey sour as well, which was pretty good. My wife liked her burger, as did our daughter. My steak, which was ordered medium, was medium-well, and bordered on well-done. I would have sent it back, but we were dealing with two children, both of who were getting a little rowdy, and decided it was best to just scarf it down and get out of dodge. We may give it another chance, but it'll probably be a while before we'll be back. read more

Pretzels with beer cheese and mustard for an app was definitely the move. Will get this every time. (Half order 7.75) Salmon grain bowl - I added bleu cheese crumbles and this definitely elevated it - was perfect, light, and filling. The cilantro yogurt dressing was creamy but bright and I asked for more. (17.45) David got the prime rib French dip and devoured it before I could get a video! (18.45) They have a large selection of burgers and their "craft burger" list rotates weekly. I'm still sad I missed out on their Asian sesame one last week. Service was friendly and fast. I would recommend getting a reservation, though it's definitely not required. It's conveniently located in Mountain Brook Village and a few dessert places to visit when you're done with dinner - Jeni's ice creams, crumbl, greenwise market, to name a few. Great casual date night spot! read more

Seated quickly around 5:30 on a Sunday! Our waitress, Sutton, was good! My blackened salmon was seasoned well but I got the glaze on the side to give it a little more flavor and it was tasty. The broccoli was steamed PERFECTLY but was a pretty boring side. I got a Caesar salad as well which was delicious. My French cocktail was VERY strong but the flavors (vodka, cranberry and pineapple) didn't go together well. Overall I would definitely give this place another chance. read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time on Valentine's Day with my best friend and absolutely loved it. I ordered the ribeye with the brussel sprouts and caesar salad and she ordered the salmon with a caesar salad and the cavatappi pasta. The food was absolutely delicious! The ribeye had the perfect amount of seasoning and the brussel sprouts were different but delicious as well. I tried the salmon and it was pretty good too, but it didn't have as much flavor as the steak. The cavatappi pasta was very memorable and delicious. I made a note to myself to order it with the steak the next time because they both stood out to me. The service was also phenomenal. Our waitress was incredibly nice and accommodating, even changing our sweet tea to lemonade when we expressed that it tasted "just okay". She shared that the cavatappi pasta was a favorite of hers and quickly made sure I received a ribeye when I was mistakenly given a filet mignon before. The food and the service were wonderful and after leaving, I just knew I had to share my experience with others. This was my first visit but it will not be my last! HUGE shoutout to our sweet waitress!! read more

CharBar No 7 - Ribeye Steak / Loaded Baked Potato and Broccoli. - American Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

Stopped in for a late night bite while in town for a concert. This restaurant is located in the cute little downtown square area of Old Cahaba. Super cute district with several restaurants and boutiques. The restaurant itself is cute with low lighting in the evening and a large bar area with tons of TVs all over the restaurant. There is also seating outside with heat lamps during the winter. We both had burgers and they were huge. I could only eat half of mine. I had the sweet heat burger and it came with a large slab of cream cheese, yummy caramelized jalapeños and the best Smokey bacon. The only thing I might change about the burger was the bun. I have had a ton of burgers and typically the bun doesn't even matter, but the thick bland buns they use here took away from. The burger instead of adding to it. With that being said, it was still a really good burger. My husband had the MOS burger and he loved the taste of it, but it was lacking in the sauce category. He asked for a side of ranch and he said that was an excellent addition. Service was great and the Brussels had a ton of bacon and flavor. Sweet potato fries were very good as well dipped in the honey cinnamon butter. Overall a great experience. read more

The last couple times we've tried to dine here we've had some major issues. Today we were told no tables available to accommodate a high chair so we sat and waited. After 30 minutes I asked the hostess why there were empty tables and no patrons, she rolled her eyes and said she'd have to push 2 tables together. The humanity! A lady in front of us got a meal to go and asked for to go silverware and they told her they didn't have any. Seems like a place when managed correctly is really good but poor management and rude staff will sink this place. Sorry to see a place I used to really like go down hill. read more

Never been here, friend suggested it for a burger and hang one night. First impression was not great: the host was confused, awkward and unprofessional. I guess my expectation was: this restaurant is in mtn brook, surely the person they have put front will be accommodating. However, we waited and watched him walk past several dirty tables several times, he couldn't be bothered I guess, and I went to the restroom. When I came back this guy (the host) said "your buddy was the guy with the cubs shirt? I sat him at thirty-three" as he pointed across the room. Why thank you! I'm sure I know where 33 is! I went and found my friend. The waitress however was pleasant, I cracked some jokes about the host with her, and then had a good burger. The buffalo chicken dip was good too, something satisfying about the ritz cracker crust... that was the only successful gimmick of the night. I'm just glad my ticket was under $35 with tip. The Charleston Burger has pimento cheese on it. It was tasty but not quite as good as the burger with pimento that Jim n nicks used to have. Every aspect was slightly less quality. There's nothing phenomenal or interesting here, just more retail food, and no reason for me to ever return. I would imagine it's just the location that keeps this place going. Next time I want a burger it won't be here. read more

The reservation system was spot on from start to finish. Everything was great--the service was excellent, our waitress was attentive, and our party was seated promptly upon arrival. Menus were delivered, and drink orders were placed and delivered quickly. So far, it was on par for an excellent review. However, our food arrived one hour later. To be fair, it was prom night, so we understood they were extremely busy. When the food did arrive, I had the fish and chips; the fish was warm, but the chips were cool and tasted stale. Others in the party had similar comments regarding their meals. On the other hand, those who ordered burgers and sandwiches had a much better experience. The ambiance was very nice, the facility was clean, and the presentation was very good. I am sure prom night overloaded the kitchen all at once, so we will give it another consideration in the future if someone is interested in going. read more

I've tried Charbar 7 before, but wanted to give it one more try. Unfortunately, I left with the same opinion. The food is just mediocre. The service was nice but I don't think you should go here expecting a quick lunch. They were kinda busy when we decided to go so we did wait a while for our food, but when it did come it was fresh. I was underwhelmed by the flavor of the chicken besides the actual glaze. The portions were a little inconsistent if you were comparing pricing. I got a plated meal while my friend got a burger. The portions were completely different. I guess for the best deal go with plated. I wouldn't say no to coming back to Charbar 7, but it wouldn't be the first place I personally suggest. read more

This is use to be one of our favorite places but we walked out regretting even coming as we love the patio and overall ambiance. They changed most of the recipes. The buffalo chicken was literally all ritz cracker barely any buffalo. They switched to pita bread instead of chips which was an odd choice. The house salad was all tomato and bacon and the dressing was quite questionable. My salmon came out cold even though it was on a cast iron plate? The Brussels were good though. We did enjoy the burger and tots. Our waiter never really came around- we were sitting with empty drinks basically the entire lunch. We were sitting waiting for the check for quite a minute. Not sure where she was because it looked like most of her tables were kinda waiting on her. Our food took forever to come out to us and the restaurant was not terribly busy. Don't think we'll be returning again sadly:( read more

The atmosphere was nice with a sports bar vibe. Customer service was decent but not outstanding. The food was good, but three small pieces (fish stick size) were lacking on the fish and chips portion size. It was good but disappointing for a dinner entree. read more

My friend and I ventured in Charbar to try out their Happy Hour. You had me at $7 martinis! As soon as we walked in, we were quickly seated. Our server Mitchell was so attentive! We thoroughly enjoyed her! The Happy Hour drink specials change everyday while the appetizers selection stays the same. I tried the Lemon Drop Martini and the Dirty Martini. The Lemon Drop was the perfect balance of sweet and tart which was perfect for the hot day and to balance the Fried Pickle Chips. I requested the Dirty Martini to be EXTRA dirty, and the bartender went above and beyond! I loved both of the appetizers we received! Both were hot and freshly made. The seating area had a laid back elegant feeling. Even though we choose to sit inside, they had a wonderful outdoor seating. I plan on requesting to sit outside next time! I look forward to coming back next time to try their regular menu! Would definitely recommend! read more
