    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.

    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.

    We went to this restaurant I didn't know before, and honestly, the food was delicious. The service was very warm, and the drinks were really good.

    Wow, it was really busy for lunch on a Friday. Service was really good, the servers were very nice and attentive. Ambiance is nice, perfect for business lunches or a nice date night, depending on the time of day. The food was really good. I really enjoyed the chicken fried chicken with the glazed carrots and the loaded smashed potatoes were also very good. The chips and queso were delicious, and had a scoop of guacamole in it, and the salsa was good as well. I can't find any bad things to say about my time here! I'll definitely be back!

    Do they offer gluten free options?

    They have a gluten free menu on their website and are very knowledgeable (or will ask chef if any questions).

We ordered the bone-in ribeye with wicked sauce (their own made version sauce of steak sauce, amazing!), pasta bolognese, potatoes, and the cauliflower. We tried the banana pudding for dessert. Made just right, and wasn't overly sweet. For drinks, we did the espresso martini and their version of the aperol spritz. The vibe and the ambience were dim, but not dark. Good for a night date night or dinner with good friends.

We ended up waiting for our table at the bar, where we found out only the Dallas location has a happy hour. Hopefully one day soon this changes, because this is a great location downtown and they're missing out on more customers. Once our table was ready, we were led downstairs to their restaurant and to a nice table. The ambiance is beautiful, and would be a great date night spot. The free champagne, appetizer and popover bread was the perfect way to start our meal. The popover is to die for, and I'm still thinking about how delicious it they were. For the man course, I ordered the scallops. They were good, but I'd be open trying another dish on the menu next time. Wicked Butcher is definitely a classy establishment to visit when if you enjoy peaceful and beautiful ambiance in the downtown area.

    I stayed here at the Bowie House for the weekend and we ate most of our meals at Bricks and Horses…read more(Located inside Bowie House). Top shelf for sure! The food and service was amazing. None of our meals disappointed us and we left very satisfied by the experience. Memories for a lifetime! Most folks were dressed up (Including me and my partner...ironed starched blue jeans, smart collared shirt, cowboy boots and cowboy hats are very acceptable here). This is a very elegant and exclusive place. This is not a place for the average traveler. Make reservations early...If you want a table.

    Dinner here was a fun little jaunt into Fort Worth for my birthday. The decor is attention-getting,…read morevery cowboy chic. The restaurant is surprisingly small, located on the other side of the bar from the entrance (I wouldn't have known where to go if my dining companions hadn't been here previously.) I loved that it wasn't too loud, the four of us were seated at a large round half booth/half chairs table and were able to converse without voices raised and the dreaded "whaaaat?" Food was yummy! Everyone was going nuts over the Ritz and Dips appetizer but all my attention was on the sourdough bread, so good. Salads are generous, we split two Caesar salads between the four of us and it was a perfect portion for starters (this is not your classic Caesar but we enjoyed the different take on it.) I'm a pescatarian and the chef was so accommodating to make me my own non-dirty farro to accompany the redfish. Great flavors! Some others of us ended up ordering several appetizers as entrees and it was all delicious. Husband said the Hot Rock Wagyu Rib Cap appetizer (prepared table-side) was incredible. They make a rich plenty dark decaf Americano which was my dessert of choice. We were all too full to order any treats, maybe next time. Finally, our server Lauren was AMAZING! She really helped make it a great evening. Which helped take the edge off when we got the post-meal surprise that valet parking isn't complimentary (I see by the reviews that it maybe used to be?) but $10. Not too expensive, I guess, but considering the $700-$1700/per night cost of rooms at this hotel you'd think they might want to throw the locals coming in for a meal a little appreciation. Just saying.

Matt our excellent server has a great sense of humor and welcoming personality. So much that we had to chat with the Manager, Bobby about him. The rib eyed steak - medium rare was scrumptious and the sides: mushrooms, baked potatoes & green beans cooked perfectly. Compliments to their chef/s! With what's happening in the world, the steaks are a little bit on the *ozempic thinner side but we still highly recommend because of the quality.

Shoutout to our waitress Heather, she was so sweet, attentive, and gave great recommendations. The manager Chris also came by a few times to check on us, which I really appreciated. 10/10 experience.
