This is an awesome steakhouse. I usually come here and sit at the bar for the social hour or some appetizers a few drinks so I think I tried everything but I love coming here. read more

The food was phenomenal; the service was top tier; our waitress was superb, and just the feel of the place is the sort of place you would want to take a special someone to eat and have good conversation read more

I love this place and was bummed when they close down in Ahwatukee. So it was amazing to be back and food was just as good as i remember, ambiance the same. Service superb! Glad they keep at least one location open! Definitely will be back and recommend! read more

This place never gets it wrong. A bit pricey but the food and service are spot on. Will always be our "special events" place.

The food is amazing and our server was very awesome! Love the romantic atmosphere!

The full time bartender is the best! I dined alone at the bar and enjoyed tremendous service close to closing time. Had the prime rib, and it was outstanding. read more

Just found out my favorite server, James is no longer with Charleston's. It's a pity that their only professional level server was apparently not valued for the business he brought in. Besides the rolls, the food is over-priced and mediocre at best. read more

Great service and food..My steak was cooked just how I like it. Nice and quiet so you can have good conversation.

We were here for my birthday tonight, a small quaint dinner. Upon getting sat at our table there was a birthday card, signed from everyone in the restaurant which was a very nice touch and really makes you feel special. The food was really good, absolutely no complaints. It was simple but cooked absolutely perfect. The steaks were tender, and the chicken too! We got the artichoke spinach dip to start and that was awesome . I only order a martini on special occasions and they even had blue cheese stuffed olives, so bonus points there! for dessert we had the key lime pie (AMAZING) and i dont even like key lime pie. We also had the bread pudding, it was also very good but I prefer it warm. The croissants were the star of everything, we got a hole basket to go! Our server, James, was so so nice, welcoming and fun to talk to. We all really enjoyed him taking care of us. He honestly made the dinner a 10. My family and I all loved the whole night and definitely recommend visiting, we will for sure visit again, soon. read more

I ordered a medium well steak got a well done steak it was horrible Tuff The manager took it off our bill and that was as very thoughtful of him Waitress was a sweet heart We will be back read more

Just wanted to note that even though they say they are "dog friendly" they are actually only service dog friendly. Seems misleading to say dog friendly if service dogs are already inherently allowed by law anyway. read more

This used to be our "go-to" place for Celebration dinners Last time we went was a (non-holiday) Mon at 330p. We asked for a large booth if available (we like to order large and the 4 of us plus all the food don't fit comfortably in a small booth) They told us no. Those large booths were empty when we sat down and empty when we left at 430. I think there were maybe 6 other tables sat in the entire restaurant Here's the kicker ... we ordered appetizers including croissants. The waiter came out and told us - "they wouldn't sell us the croissants because they wanted to save them for all the people who MAY come in after us and MAY want to order a salad" What makes more sense- to tell someone who comes in at the end of the night and ACTUALLY does order a salad- I'm sorry we ran out of croissants? Or to tell your 1st customer- we won't sell them to you because we want to save them IN CASE we need them later? How would you feel? Would you go back? read more

Went there for a steak dinner. Ribeyes are my favorite however theirs is marinated and tastes rather sweet, which was a waste of a good ribeye if you ask me. I had the fillet with carrots and a Caesar salad and they were all delicious. The Keylime pie was equally yummy. Our server was very sweet. And the music was classic 80s rock so it was right up my alley. read more

the plate came out steaming sauce glistening and meat stacked beautifully first bite and I felt that same comfort like everything slowed down for a moment the ribs were soft juicy and full of flavor just how I like them read more

There is a server named Maria. She was spectacular!! Ask for Maria when you go. Yes the food was very good, but not as good as Maria's service! read more

We stopped in to celebrate a special occasion. We were a party of five. Service was great, server was attentive and gave good recommendations. The plates were flavorful and definitely shareable. The brussel sprouts were my favorite. Will definitely come back to try different menu items. The manager came out to check on us and gave us a free treat for the celebration. read more

We have been going to Charleston since we moved here over 3 years ago, usually every couple of weeks or so. The food was good and we had a great waiter that we always requested that provided exceptional service. We found out James is no longer there, and the last year we only ate there due to his service as the food was really more hit or miss and he always made it right when the kitchen failed on quality control. Luckily we found where he is now and we have a new favorite spot with next level food and the service we know we can count on. read more

Another horrible experience at Charleston's. This time one of their own Bus boys kept coming up to the table next to us being loud high-fiving people and getting the drunk people next to us even drunker. They were so loud, including the bus boy, my family could not even hold a conversation until he would leave the area. The manager was nowhere to be found and never once circled the room to see how people's dining experience was. Will never be back! read more

Great food, great service. The waitress was outstanding. The atmosphere is always good. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

It was really busy so we sat at the bar for dinner and drinks. Was a great decision! Corey is an amazing bartender, we ordered from the specialty cocktails and she also made a different type of Mule for me based on some flavors I like. The meal was spectacular, my husband had catfish and I had the sea bass. Every bite was delicious! read more

Wow, what a dinner!!! As a tourist, visiting many places in and around the area, I can easily say this is the best dinner our group has had thus far. Everyone loved their meals, the catfish, half chicken, steak, chicken Marsala and salmon Cesar are all highly recommended by us! I understand why this is my husband's aunt's favorite place to eat! Great service, fabulous drinks, and tasty dishes! You can't go wrong here! read more

We have always got good service and food there. Today, I made the mistake of complaining that the salad I had eaten half of, was not very good. The lettuce was old, and it seems like it was just the dredges at the bottom that I had been served. It was only a small side salad, but the waitress was appalled that I hadn't told her sooner. She repeated three times that she had passed me and I should have spoke up. But half the salad was left. I wasn't asking for anything, but I do usually like their side salads and this one was weak at best. So I finally said, "well, you didn't ask". It was just a salad after all they could have given me another one If they were trying to fix the problem. She left and suddenly a new waitress appeared to our surprise. I didn't think I had been rude.I thought she had been rude. But it was a big enough deal that she wasn't coming back. So she must have thought we were just trying to get rid of the five dollar charge because it was removed off the bill, but no manager or anyone else talked to us and I felt like she had blamed me for the problem. Hope I don't get her the next time we come back. read more

After a long travel day we thought a nice dinner would be the perfect start to our trip unfortunately that wasn't true. Our waitress was nice enough and we were seated right away. We ordered the special filet ($57) and my husband added the $10 shrimp to it. First up they brought out the shrimp and a baked potatoe to him with no shrimp. Then the steak and my food, my potatoe had hard black spots in it, a lot of them and was supposed to be a loaded potatoe but had no sour cream. Next the steaks a complete disappointment there was no crust on it and no seasoning at all. It was mushy and flavorless. The best part of the meal was the Crossiant that came with the salad. For a first time in I don't think I will have it a 2nd try. read more

Great food but way overpriced! Not sure I'll visit them again. Bar staff didn't acknowledge me. A manager had to retrieve my order. Very unorganized! read more

Charleston hit all the marks! Food and service was amazing! Even though it was only 2 of us, there was no rush. Excellent steaks, cooked to perfection! read more

I feel like Charleston's is sometimes and overlooked gem as far as steak houses go. Tonight my husband and I had a delicious dinner served by Alexa - this waitress is the best we ever had at this restaurant - polite, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and just overall delightful - we will definitely ask for her upon our return. Thanks Alexa for a wonderful evening. read more

you forgot to put salmon on my salmon quinoa bowl lmao. and it was a delivery so double thanks guys.

This place is like an old-school fern bar. Lots of wood and dark colors. Service is always great and food is very good. It can get a bit noisy at busy times but otherwise it's a nice place. read more

Nice, clean and warm atmosphere. Service was good and servers were friendly. My husband ordered the fried chicken and liked it very much. Large strips of tender meat with a flaky breading. He said the slaw was a little "different" and didn't care for it. I ordered the full rack of baby back ribs. I hate to be petty, but I ordered them because I saw a couple orders go by and they covering the entire plate as the pictures in their Yelp page show. I'm sure they were the usual 11 to 14 baby backs that come in a full rack. My order didn't come near that size, in fact it was 8 ribs. I'd just like to get what I paid for. They were tasty and fall off the bone tender but not mushy. The vegetable medley was fresh and very good. I'm sure we will go back because my husband loved the chicken, I'll just be getting the catfish. read more

The place has at least 30 people waiting to get in on a 3:00 Sunday!! I figured I'd check. I got seated right away!! Turns out they have wonderful soft booths in the bar area!! Got right in!!! Ordered The catfish platter. Delicious!! The catfish was just perfect!! The coleslaw was mixed with cilantro. Never tasted that combination, but wow!! I'll make it that way in the near future. The president margarita was served with the shaker begging for extra fills . The whole experience was excellent. Great service and excellent food. Luke B, my server was efficient too!! read more

Started going to Charleston's about 25 years ago and Scottsdale and it's always consistently amazing. Haven't been in several years since the only one available is in Mesa Arizona, but we were attending a concert at the Mesa art center decided to give that location a try and it's like we stepped back in time. Everything was absolutely amazing in our friends who tried it for the first time loved it as well. read more

What a great place to dine! Celebrated my birthday and food/service was amazing! They have spaghetti squash as side. Can't wait to return. read more

Great experience! Got here for a work meeting with a client at 11:30, was seated quickly, waiter was attentive and gave us the extra time we needed to discuss work.

The food every single time is so delicious. Each dish is loaded with flavor. The restaurant is very inviting. Our server, Luke, who provides great service has a keen sense of humor. Even though we live on the Westside of the Valley, the trip is well worth it. read more

This place is just wonderful. The atmosphere is great but really the food and service is where the glowing recommendation comes from. Artichoke dip was sooooo flavorful and steaks, potatoes and salads just as fantastic. Steak also cooked properly. Our server was great and the other help staff kept our table clean and glasses full. read more

Well, although the food was good. I had ordered a keylime pie to go. While at my hotel room later that evening, I decided I would like to have my keylime pie. As I opened the box, I was greeted to my surprise a ceaser salad! How does one go about boxing up a salad instead of a pie? I strongly believe I was being gaslighted and fat shamed. read more
