    Went to Charleston's on a Wednesday night and sat out on the patio. honestly a great choice for a low-key evening. It's a really comfortable setup, nice and relaxed without being too busy or too quiet. Food was solid as always. It's one of those places where you kind of know what you're going to get, in a good way. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and just easy to enjoy. Service was good too attentive but not over the top, which fit the vibe of the night. Overall, it's a great midweek spot if you're looking for something reliable with a nice patio to unwind a bit.

    My husband and I tried Charleston's for the first time back in October 2025 and it has become a place we visit frequently now. Every couple of months, planned or impromptu, we dine in or get takeout from here. The food is consistently full of flavor, the customer service is great and I love the atmosphere; always a mixed crowd just out for a good time. I don't know if there's a limit on how many times I can leave a great review for them, but I'll just have to find out because I'm taking pics and posting every time!!!

    Chipotle gravy! Flavorful not spicy!

    Delicious food as always!! If it was closer I'm sure we would go every week! Always good service and warm atmosphere!

    The food is always fresh and hot and is well prepared. The service has been spot on since they opened and we have come here for many years, the ambiance is always warm and inviting and clean. Never once have we had an issue . 5 stars!

    Charleston's is a great restaurant with such a classic menu. Everything is delicious and the service is always wonderful. Their appetizers, entrees and desserts are exceptional. The restaurant is far more relaxed than most.

    Met a friend here for dinner. I ordered a house salad for starters which was delicious and decided upon shrimp scampi for my entree. My meal was delicious but the server left more to be desired. She seemed abrupt and uninterested in asking or even answering questions that my friend had about dessert. Although this was my first time trying Charleston's, I'd return despite the service received from the server.

    The place was busy, but we didn't have to wait long--about 10 minutes. We started the night with a blackberry mule and chips and queso, which were a nice way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken fried steak. The meat was a bit tough, but the gravy was very tasty and helped make up for it. The mashed potatoes were satisfying, and the fried okra was enjoyable as well. My husband also ordered the chicken fried steak, and the coleslaw on the side stood out as fresh and flavorful. Service was excellent, and the place itself felt warm and cozy.

    We selected Charleston's as a place to try for dinner that would be new to us. We were a party of 5 adults and 2 children on a Saturday night arriving around 6:45. We had about a 30 minute wait for a table which wasn't bad on a very busy night. We were fortunate to have a pleasant, friendly server. All of the staff we interacted with were providing excellent service. The dining room is really pretty. At our table we pretty much went to the Specialties portion of the menu. We had meatloaf, grilled pork chops, Parmesan chicken, chicken piccata and ribs. Everything was superb. The sweet tea was delicious, as it should be in a restaurant named Charleston. For dessert my sister had the carrot cake and she said it was wonderful. Food and service were top notch and we look forward to dining here again.

    Back in this place once again! I promise this place is a staple in Fort Worth. I'll never get tired of dining here! I met a few friends for lunch and we were greeted by the cutest server, Micaela. I'm sure she's new because I'd never seen her before. She was vibrant and engaged with us wonderfully. We placed our drink order and a spinach artichoke dip to share. If you haven't tried this it's a must and one of the best around town! Today I decided to try something different as I feel like I've enjoyed the entire menu. I went with the blackened redfish tacos. It came paired with cilantro rice and black beans. Man...what a treat! It was very filling and tasty. The mixture of garlic aioli and coleslaw with the redfish was so pleasing to my palate! A slight crunch yet soft and tender. It was so good y'all. It came with two tacos but I could barely finish one. I saved the other for later and it kept well and was just as good hours later. I'm sure I'll try this dish again. No dessert on this visit since I'm attempting to eat within my macros but please be advised the key lime pie is top notch! Or the bread pudding or pineapple upside down cake. Just depends on the day of the week as to what they have. They always have key lime pie fyi. Get yourself here fast! It's never a bad visit. Great for date night or hanging with friends. The atmosphere is just right for either.

    This is a great casual dinner/lunch place for any occasion. We get something different just about every time we come here. They have amazing salads, a great chicken club sandwich, and the prime rib is hands down the best thing you can get when they have it (but they don't always). They have a great selection of cocktails/martinis & I love how many ice crystals they leave in the drinks. There is plenty of parking in front and around the building. The establishment is nice and the waiters are attentive. The restaurant can be loud at times when it's busy. My fiancé was a little thrown off by the waiter who asked for my ID & not his... but that's the only complaint lol.

The layout is great and works well for groups of different sizes. The service was excellent. I wish I could remember the bartender's name. He mentioned he was new, but you never would have guessed it. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and took great care of the couples sitting at the bar. To share, we ordered the crab Rangoon mozzarella sticks and the cheese curds. Both were delicious and perfect for sharing. I also appreciated that the background music wasn't too loud, making it easy to have a conversation. The only downside came when the lights suddenly went out while we were eating. I jokingly asked if it was their way of signaling they were getting close to closing, but I was told the lights are on a timer that can't be adjusted. I understand some restaurants aim for a dim, moody atmosphere, but this doesn't seem like that kind of place. It got awkward pretty quickly, everyone around us started wondering if something was wrong or if we were supposed to leave. Also made me further think about the cleanliness of the restaurant, if you can't up the lights after a certain time, that's before closing time- how do you ensure the restaurant is properly cleaned at the end of each day? Again, made the night odd and we left as soon as we finished what we already had instead of ordering anything else. Good to see City Works still here as quite a few spots are closing in Clearfork area. Wouldn't rush back but I do recommend.

The quiche tasted great, but the portion was incredibly disappointing. At $22 for a single slice, it just didn't feel worth the price. We considered ordering another slice but decided against it. Even after sharing both dishes, we left still a little hungry. The portion sizes just didn't match the prices. We also ordered a mimosa carafe for $35, with mimosas 11+ a glass it just seemed to be the better option. We opted for the patio this time, and with the overcast morning, it made for a really pleasant experience. There was plenty of outdoor seating and nice views, which was definitely a highlight. The service was a bit odd. Our server seemed rushed and hovered over us at times, but then disappeared when we actually needed something. It felt inconsistent and made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, the food tasted good, and the outdoor seating is lovely, but the value just isn't there for me. Great atmosphere, but the pricing doesn't match the portion sizes.

I think we both preferred the mexcrunch, simply due to the crunchy texture. I think both wraps would have been better if we could've had the sauce on the side, because the wraps got soggy pretty quickly. The side pasta salad was surprisingly really good, and I see why they serve it. Overall, I'd definitely go back here for a healthy lunch option.

So we regrouped our breakfast plans and went mainly vegetarian. The Herbivore was absolutely delicious! Antebellum cheese grits topped with garlicky kale, romanesco and a soft boiled egg. We added a second egg. Split with my hubby. So good!! My sister-in-law had the brioche French toast. French toast topped with honey better, fresh berries and pecan granola. Served with maple syrup.

The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.

The food is thoughtfully curated for variety on the menus, the atmosphere is subdued and comfortable, and the service is on pace with whatever timeline you need or want them to be if you let them know. In a time where those things no longer seem to be a given, it's a refreshing delight! At this point, I've tried about everything on the menu. For lunch, the tuna salad is my favorite but you honestly can't go wrong on this menu made to enhance the fresh, natural taste of the foods on it. You can also get steak at lunch even though it is not on the menu... just ask. The owner personally shops daily to ensure whatever you order is fresh, and the meats are sourced from Tarleton in Stephenville so you are supporting local ranchers in addition to knowing its origins. On the appetizers, the shishito peppers fresh bought fresh locally are a great option. The dinner menu is equally as delightfully hard to go wrong, with one addition I wish they would add to the menu, but you can still always get... Tuna Steak. Any other place who has this in the area does it in ways that are either coated with sesame seeds/oil or is not fresh to the point you can smell it (fish that smells fishy is not fresh!). I love the tuna steak with a side of the sautéed mushrooms, and a starter of the homemade Caesar salad (made without mayonnaise, using fresh ingredients). With fewer and fewer places offering things that are healthy, it is a great place to get incredible food, at an incomparable price for what your money, without having to stray from a heart healthy, food allergy, or other restricting diet (be sure you let them know if you need adjustments for allergies or health reasons). I appreciate that foods made with butter can be adjusted to olive oil, my very restrictive allergies can be accommodated for, and the flavor does not suffer for doing so. Desserts & drinks are equally as memorable, and only make a wonderful meal that much more unforgettable. If you're looking for a great dining experience, without breaking your wallet compared to the same foods at other local establishments, this is the place! It is not kid friendly, which is welcomed to me because I want to enjoy a night or a lunch out without fuss. It is a quiet, relaxing atmosphere you can talk to people in without yelling at each other. If you want something different than the menu items, they will even make things like Beef Wellington or likely whatever your heart desires if you plan ahead and talk to the owner or GM. They also do catering for events and will customize a menu if you need or want it for your occasion. If you haven't tried Fort Redemption, you're missing out, and if you have then you already know!
