Charles Anthony's Restaurant At The Pub - Fettuccine Alfredo - Seafood Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

I met some of my Montgomery friends of long standing (I won't say old) here for dinner recently. How wonderful it is that we still have a local quality restaurant serving the cuisine we grew up with. The service is fabulous and the seafood and steaks bring back great memories of many of Montgomery's fine restaurants. I highly recommend The Pub for a walk down memory lane or if you are just looking for an excellent meal served by fine folks. The interior is comfortable and elegant. read more

Charles Anthony's at the Pub Restaurant is a great place to get a high value meal. I took my cousin here and we both ordered the ribeye. I ordered the larger 14 oz at medium rare and she ordered the smaller one at medium. Cheyenne, our server, was perfect the whole evening. I have eaten here before and my mother somehow knew about their Greek vinaigrette salad dressing, which I have taken several bottles back up to NYC with me and this evening would be no different. I ordered their bottle of Federalist red wine, which was not too dry and tannic for my cousin and, at $38 a bottle, was a decent value. The house salad with my prime rib was on point owing to the Greek vinaigrette. A sharp Italian cheese grated over top would give that salad pop with that vinaigrette and a few more cherry tomatoes and some cucumber would be right on time. The ribeye was cooked to medium, instead of medium rare, but it was not tough or dried up. The marbling kept it that way. The flavor of the meat did not call for any sauce. The cross hatched grill marks were quite evident, but had it been medium rare, it would have been better. The 14 oz steak is cut a bit thin and this, in combination with a grill not at a high enough temperature and lack of bone in, prevented the regulation of cooking temperature to achieve a more complete outer crust while retaining a pink and juicy interior. At $41 for 14oz, it's a pretty good value. The au gratin potatoes were a great side dish, but I wish they would simply plate the side dishes instead of meting them out in shallow mini bowls. I then ordered two bottles of the addictive vinaigrette to go back with me. Charles Anthony's is a great restaurant with an interior that is warm and dark. Service is great and the food is a fairly good value. One can dine here and order with confidence. Three and a half stars! read more

The service and food were wonderful. We will return. The ambiance was very relaxing for a Friday evening.

I absolutely love the appetizer selection. The menu is amazing. The staff is very knowledgeable on wine pairings with the meals. Desserts are over the top. The whole staff is incredible, from the moment you arrive you feel welcome. Charles Anthony needs to teach new restaurants how to operate a successful operation. Todd read more

A True Montgomery Gem Charles Anthony's at the Pub delivers a consistently excellent dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting--upscale but not pretentious. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We started with the crab claws, which were fresh and flavorful, followed by perfectly cooked steaks and blackened snapper that rival anything we've had on the Gulf. The sides were classic and well-seasoned, and the bread pudding for dessert was the perfect finish. This is the kind of place where you can count on a great meal and gracious service every time. Highly recommend for a date night, special occasion, or just an elevated night out. read more

Fantastic First Visit to Charles Anthony's at the Pub! We went on a Friday night, and although the restaurant was packed, we were seated surprisingly quickly. Our server, Scott, was incredibly helpful and attentive--especially since it was our first visit. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. We started with the She Crab Soup, which was creamy, smooth, and full of flavor. The Shrimp and Grits were outstanding--perfectly balanced and beautifully prepared. Many places tend to overload the dish, but Charles Anthony's keeps it classic, allowing the grits to truly shine and showcase great cooking skill. Our table also enjoyed the Triple Tail Fish and Grouper, both of which were cooked to perfection and highly praised. We ended our meal with a slice of Key Lime Pie that was the perfect finish--refreshing and delicious. The service was excellent, the food was incredible, and the atmosphere was lively yet comfortable. The building itself is unique--it looks like a church from the outside, so you might miss it if you're not paying attention! We can't wait to come back. Highly recommend! read more

Slightly pricey but there are some tasty dishes. The strawberry salad is nice. I don't know if it's seasonal but ... yum.

Came to visit the casino in town and was looking for a good steakhouse outside the Venue. It fit the bill. Nothing spectacular or outstanding just a good meal and fair price read more

I don't have anything extremely negative to say but nothing really stood out to rant and rave about. It was somewhat dark and not inviting inside. The waitress gave us paper menus (I thought we were over that & really only expect those at pubs or breweries). Overall she did okay. Had to grab her a few times for refills. We all got salads with our entrees. Normal side salad, they did have some homemade dressing. I tried the house Italian and it was a bit strong for me. Entree I ordered their ribeye as I saw other reviews saying they had great steaks. It was cooked correctly (medium) but there really wasn't any flavor. Had to request A1. Side was a baked potato (you could choose from other options like sweet potato, broccoli etc). Dessert we ordered chocolate cake and peanut butter pie. Both were extremely rich, but good. I would suggest the peanut butter pie if you are looking for a dessert read more

Charles Anthony's Restaurant At The Pub - Ribeye & Baked Potato - Seafood Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Visited here and the food was very nice, the service was friendly. The restaurant decor was simplistic in a nice formal manner. For an appetizer we went with the Spinach Artichoke Dip and chips. My wife and friends really liked it, but for me it was just ok. I ordered the Trout with the side of green beans and sweet potato casserole. My wife had the Trout Almandine. My friends ordered Tenderloin and shrimp, and the other ordered fried oysters. They both seemed very happy with their meal. I enjoyed mine a lot as well and so did my wife. We had chocolate cake for dessert and our friends had bread pudding. The cake and pudding were both nice. Be aware this is a nice dine in restaurant and so yes it will be on the pricey side of things. read more

I had the shrimp and grits with a salad and asparagus and my husband had the chicken supreme with salad and sautéed vegetables. Both were delicious! We sat at the bar because they were very busy and we didn't make reservations. Great service! It is a beautiful building inside and out. And it was very busy! That let us know we selected the best place in Montgomery for dinner! read more

I was excited about coming to Charles Anthony's with family as I've heard good things about their food. I loved that the menu was straightforward and simple with one special which the waitress told us about. Amberjack was the special and I was torn between that and the Grilled Trout Almandine. I ended up getting the trout but wish I had gotten the amberjack. Don't get me wrong, the trout was pretty good but I tasted my mother's amberjack and it was much better. My wife had a " bone in ribeye" but it was actually a boneless ribeye. It was still tasty. Everything was good but I was not really wowed by anything. The best part was being with family. This place is more like 3-1/2 stars but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Decided to take the hubby here for his bday.... Seating was a breeze,we arrive at 4:45 pm. our server was Cory. The menu lists was ok,but nothing compared to what's on-line. Now when the decision was made to come to this business I called to see if reservations needed to be made... the young lady that answered the phone stated no. When we got there I told the associate we had a party of 12, this is where the problems came.. Some of our party had to leave due to no seating, and they wouldn't honor the Suggestion of either moving our party, or letting some of our party sit at this table in which no one was sitting at... It took us 1 hour and 47 minutes to get our order.. we were told because They had to get the big parties out first.... my husband's steal was rubberized, everyone asparagus was cold. Will not be coming back to this one read more

Charles Anthony's Restaurant At The Pub - Free Birthday Treat - Seafood Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

We had wanted to try the pub for over a year, but COVID 19 kept us away. We were in Montgomery for business and remembered Charles Anthonys, so we went early. I was surprised how dark they keep it inside, but we were seated quickly, and the waiter was very friendly and explained the special which we ordered, a filet with red snapper, asparagus, and a salad. I ordered a margarita while we waited. It was the best margarita I have ever tasted. I let the young waiter know and ordered a second. He had the young lady bartender bring it to the table, and she explained a splash of orange juice was her secret, not now, the secret is out! The filet was cooked perfectly, the snapper was good. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to being back next time in Montgomery. read more

So tonight I got in my car and drove 50 minutes to Charles Anthony. Ever since I found out it was a restaurant and not a funeral home.... I was hooked on there food. Definitely enjoyed the full menu pre covid, however the abbreviated menu contains some of my favorites. Tonight I went for my top two faves, the crab claws and a side of fried shrimp. I was hungry, hadn't ate all day so I ask for a roll. Roll comes out, warm with butter. The crab claws and shrimp quickly folllow. Crab claws as usual don't ever quite taste the same but they are still solid. I consume my food along with my Manhattan and ask for the check. This is where things quickly go down hill. I usually ask for the bill and never scrutinize it. Today I quickly open it up to loot my card inside and I see a charge for a roll. Twenty five whopping cents. I immediately get offended. It's all about principal from this point forward. I inquire initially about this charge. ( as I in the many times of me patronizing I've never been charged for a toasted frozen dinner roll) The bartender says it's the policy. I get it he doesn't make the rules. I speak with Paige and expressed to her how absurd I though it was. I mean to nickel and dime me after purchasing the most expensive thing on the menu was as asinine. She as most managers do assumed the defense and stood by the policy 100%. As a customer of many dining establishment I try my best to be objective as possible. I honestly just wanted her to say...... I get it, it was a mistake to charge you. We usually charge if a patron is drinking only, had an excess of rolls etc. For her to stand firm on the fact that an entree wasn't ordered in addition to telling me "it's business". I walked away thinking.... duly noted! It's a business and it's the appreciation of my money that I respect when doing business. To stand firm and not even acknowledge that the policy in this instance was a little overboard......I will take my business elsewhere. It was a nice run!! read more

We waited at the bar for our table said 30 minute wait but it was only 15 minutes. While at the bar we got a delicious Pinot Grigio the bar tenders were very nice. We sat in a cozy cute booth our waitress was ok not overly friendly but that's fine. Our entrees were the special of the night salmon which was a bit dry, yummy baked potato and bland cheese grits. Our other entree was grilled shrimp Alfredo pasta the shrimp were very big and very good just a little spicy. The bread that came with the meal was very good and fresh. Also got a cosmopolitan which was great. read more

Okay so now this is the second time I've eaten here in the past 15 months when in town. The ambiance of this restaurant is amazing and the wait staff is very personable but the food quality is not as good as the waffle house across the street. The first time I had a steak and it was decent but not for $29. Tonight I had what was supposed to be filet mignon in pieces with crabmeat on top of it for $38. I can't remember the last time I didn't finish a steak it was so bad. Poor quality meat and it was well done in parts and raw and others. Let me just say there's no way this was an actual cut a filet and the crab made was fake as a $10 Rolex. I was also charged $7.95 more for a strawberry side salad. I was not told there would be an $8 up charge for the strawberry salad. I left a more than adequate tip because the food quality was not the waitresses fault. Shame on you the first time shame on me the second time for returning. . read more

This was once my favorite place for seafood. Hadn't eaten here in awhile before three weeks ago. In the last 3 weeks I have eaten here twice. The first time it wasn't quite right. My fried oysters were sort of on the soggy side. I figured it was just a one off. So I gave it another go. I got the shrimp and oysters this time and they were AWFUL. I don't know why I didn't take a picture but they were both super soggy. I believe they had cooked them and they were sitting out under a heater until someone made an order. I couldn't believe my once favorite seafood restaurant sold me some crap like that. $25 down the drain including tip. I wont be back. read more

This review is not about the food, as we never got the opportunity to set foot in the door. I am originally from Montgomery, and my family has been enjoying this restaurant since their humble beginnings in Montgomery Mall in the 1970's. In fact, it was my parent's favorite restaurant. My father passed away 3 years ago and my mother moved out of state to be closer to us. Last week, at age 86, my mom passed away and our small family of 8 made sure mom was transferred home to be buried next to my dad in Montgomery. We travelled from Nashville, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Atlanta, Dothan and North Carolina to pay tribute to a life well lived. I immediately thought of The Pub as a place where we could have a nice dinner to honor them. BUT NO! I called 3 days in advance to see if they could accommodate the 8 of us on a random Tuesday night. First, I was told that they don't take reservations for groups under 10. When I explained my particular situation, I was then told that they already had 3 reservations for that evening and they could not possibly accommodate us. I explained that we were flexible about the time because this was something that we felt strongly about. I explained in detail and practically begged. I was then told that they opened at 4:30 and we were welcome to come and wait and if we could split up it might be possible. What the heck? I understand policies but I also understand compassion and special circumstances. I guess that it is true...you can never go home again! We ended up at Firebirds, where we enjoyed a lovely dinner and incredible service. read more

A good experience overall. The food was very good. There were large portions and everything from the entrees to the sides was well seasoned. Our party had the fried shrimp, cheese grits, naked sweet potato, chicken Alfredo pasta, and kids chicken tenders. The breading in the shrimp was perfect! Not greasy, crispy but not too heavy, so delicious! I will be ordering it again. The waiters in our area did not wear masks but the hostesses did. read more

I'm allergic to fish. I was told that there was no meat or fried vegetables that had not come into contact with fish. While everyone else at the table ate steak, I had rice, green beans and a sweet potato. the waiter was courteous but I would have welcomed an apology or personal contact by the manager. That didn't happen. Don't plan to dine here if you have food allergies read more

I got the Steak dinner, baked potato and asparagus. The steak was cooked to perfection, medium well. The baked potato was perfect and the asparagus was crisp, delicious and just the right amount for the meal. It was truly a delight to behold. The best Steak dinner I've had, since coming to AL. Great decor, the waiter was friendly and helpful. A hidden gem. I will be back. read more

We visited here for my last dinner with family before heading out of town. They have fantastic crab claws and seafood and steak. I enjoyed my meal and it was a nice quiet environment good for visiting. I would give five stars if they had larger tables and cleared our table more often/faster. I will for sure go back, the food is excellent and service is friendly. read more

I am unsure if we will be returning. The amount that you pay doesn't match the food experience. We walk in and receive paper menus. I will say that entrance needs to be more inviting. The hostess was very nice and was able to read my face before I asked for booth seating over a table. We go into the dining area, and it was well lit, so I didn't have a problem with the dining area. My hubbin and I ordered water and I like that they bring out the big bottle for us to refill our own glasses...I like things like that. We then order our appetizer of ahi tuna. I would say that it was a little lack luster, but it was decent enough for us to order it for dinner. I will say that the ahi tuna isn't seared to order...almost as if it was seared, sliced, packaged, and refrigerated for orders. the pieces were stuck together which indicated the precooking. I often eat pan seared ahi tuna at many different locations, as this is my favorite appetizer. We place out order for dinner to include a house salad and the waitress asks if we would like onions cheese and bacon on the salad...i opt for onions and my hubbin opts for cheese and onions...it would have been nice if she told us that it was for an additional charge...i honestly though all house salads came with onions and cheese...nickel and diming on a salad i think is a poor choice and should just make the salad a premium side and do an upcharge and keep the cheap sides as the options...or maybe go with one side. at least you don't have to pay for the dressing, 5 croutons and 1 grape tomato. The ranch dressing was very good. we get our dinner of Grilled rainbow trout, grilled trout, and ahi tuna. The fish was very good and tasty with a nice size portion. I love that they placed the sauce on the side as we did not think to ask them to do that. The tuna again was smashed together as packaged and just opened at the time of service. The rolls were very good. Hubbin ordered the chocolate cake for dessert. I opted not to partake in it...i don't like chocolate cake. I did try some of the frosting and it was very sweet...the cake was a very large portion...hubbin had no problem eating it all. Our waitress was very nice and professional. We didn't have any complaints that would send food back or cause major concern... read more

We had dinner here on Valentines Day and it was definitely worth the wait. The crab claws were amazing and fresh for our appetizer and did not disappoint. For dinner, we both had the grilled snapper with crab and the flavor was delicious. I don't think I have had a better piece of fish before. Five stars! To complete our meal we enjoyed the warm bread pudding with rum sauce. It was just enough to share and was also excellent. We give the Pub FIVE stars! A must try if you have never been. We will be back. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant and I came for a couple of my close family/friends birthday dinner. We had a good sized group. The atmosphere is nice and mellow, my only gripe was that they didn't handle our group size too well. It took while for our salads to come out and they offered no bread or anything until our main course arrived. But once the food finally came I must say I enjoyed my house salad so much, that I ordered another because I was really hungry. I ordered the grilled Rainbow Trout with a baked potato and was delicious, I enjoyed every bite. It is a little pricey but besides that the food was worth it. I will come back again to try something else on their menu. read more
