    A special of the day,  blackened halibut, very very good!!
    Stephen F.

    I had nit been in awhile. Honestly I was impressed. The setting and ambiance was pleasant. Nothing too fancy or outlandish, but very low key classy. The service was perfect. Exactly what you expect. The food was better than I remembered, ergo the 5 stars. Overall a great experience for a chain.

    Off menu's filet!

    We have been coming here for years. My son picked here for his 37 birthday. So many reasons to come here. Favorite appetizer anywhere, the SHRIMP CARGOT in herb garlic butter, havarti cheese, hot and melted! Sooooooo good! Me and birthday boy had Chicken and ribs used to be on menu, not anymore, but if you ask for it, they will make it. So good as well. My steak eater son had the HAND CUT FILET hardwood grilled, served with baked potato and house salad, can't go wrong. Wife had rack of ribs, fall off the bone delicious! Staff here is AMAZING! Iced tea never empty! Trade mark of Charlestons. We were so full but had to get our favorite dessert to go, Key lime pie, "YUMM" and carrot cake, one of the best we have ever had. It's Sunday, Very busy today, had to wait a bit for our food, but well worth it. We drove about 35 miles to get here, and again, worth the drive.

    Shrimp 'scargot-excellent!

    Charles Charleston has pretty good food. I had the shrimp cargo and it was excellent as usual! You can feel your arteries hardening while you're eating it because it's tons of butter and cheese and garlic prepared as though they were escargot! It's delicious. I decided to try the chicken piccata this time instead of the catfish. The chicken was perfectly cooked. However, I french fries were not hot and my angel hair pasta was room temperature and did not have a lot of sauce on it. I've had better chicken piccata, but it was still delightful. I asked the bartender to bring me some hot fries and a hot serving serving of angel hair pasta. Once that came, the meal was quite tasty. The service is good and all in all it's a solid place to get a good meal. I'm not hating on Charleston.

    Caution: Live Parasites in Uncooked Key Lime Pie I ordered dinner from Charleston's through DoorDash as it has been a long time favorite of mine. In the past, all of the food was cooked perfectly - and their glazed carrots a reason to return alone. On Saturday, September 12th I ordered dinner for the family, everyone was too full to eat dessert, Key Lime Pie. A day or two later I opted to eat the pie when I bit into something hard. It was large enough that I spit it out. There was a live snail in the pie. I took pictures and videos of the snail leaving its shell and crawling out. Of course the snail shell is now frozen with the pie it was with, particularly since land snails are known to carry parasites that cause meningitis. After calling the restaurant to inform them of the event, it was clear it would not be taken seriously. The night manager (if that was who took the call) dismissed the issue and said she would speak with the kitchen staff. The snail likely came from limes or another ingredient, but the lack of quality control is absolutely frightening. Key Lime being the only dessert not cooked, the snail was not killed. There may have been others in other Lime pies where customers simply swallowed it.

    We were here on a Wednesday for an early dinner. Charleston's had been on my radar for quite a while. When I suggested that we all go to dinner here, it was a unanimous "yes". The dining area consists of booths. Some are large enough to accommodate a large party, while others are two-tops. After looking over the menu, we all knew what we wanted. I decided to try the "catfish platter," which comes with fried catfish, fries, and coleslaw. The fish was perfectly fried, and the coleslaw was mildly flavored with the right amount of dressing. My husband ordered the filet which came with a salad and baked potato. The salad came with a croissant. A signature touch. Our son-in-law had the burger platter. One grandson got shrimp scampi. Another one got an original chicken tender platter, which came with coleslaw, fries, ketchup, and dipping sauces. One got a chicken parm platter. Everybody enjoyed their food. Our grandsons and their Dad thought Charleston's was worth 5 stars, as it was their favorite restaurant during our visit. Our server was very polite, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. All in all, a great dining experience.

    Delicious prime rib sandwich!
    Sue B.

    We're from Orange County, CA and we love the Wood Ranch and Houston's. Houston's is known for their French Dip. We learned that Charleston's is also known for their French Dip. We decided to give them a try on our drive from the PHX to our home in Queen Creek. We like the vibe inside and that they have so many booths. They have a nice menu with plenty of variety. Cody was our server and he was fun. He struggled a bit with a couple of our questions, but explained he was new; he checked and got back to us asap. He has a nice energy and enthusiasm. We ordered the French dip with fries and the Branzino fish with rice and green beans. The Branzino was a nice and healthy choice, but I thought it was a little pricey at $43. The French dip was delicious - about as good as Houston's. Winner! We took home a piece of carrot cake home which was good, but the frosting was lighter than we expected, maybe a whipped cream/cream cheese frosting. We'd like to try the bread pudding on our next visit. It was a very nice experience and we will definitely be back anytime we are in the area.

    Always amazing! Especially the giant piece of German Chocolate cake. Great food and service!

    First of all, Leo, our server was fantastic! I can barely remember what I walked into a room for and he was able to give us all the specials info without reading or stuttering once. I was so impressed because it was a lot!! We honestly came in for the shrimp cargot, which was delish and a great snack between our girls day out fun. Great atmosphere great staff.

The atmosphere and ambiance were excellent, making it a really enjoyable place to sit down and have a meal. We started with the loaded baked potato, and it was delicious.

The lettuce was fresh and crisp, although I would have liked to see a few more cucumbers. The jalapeño cheddar sausage plate had just the right amount of spice. The flavor was good, but unfortunately, the sausage was a little too rubbery. It seemed like it may have been cooked just a bit too long. Still, it had good flavor and was enjoyable. And if you like sweet tea, theirs definitely lives up to the name! It was sweet. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was great, and the prices seemed very reasonable. Definitely a place I'd consider coming back to and trying something else from the menu.

She made sure everything was GF, and I believe she even mentioned that they have a dedicated fryer, which was such a comforting bonus! The only hard part about dining here was the complimentary bread that arrives at your table when you sit down. It looked and smelled absolutely delightful... but sadly, it wasn't gluten-free.

There's a cold salad bar, a hot food bar, and meats delivered to your table. The variety on the cold salad bar was amazing! BLT, mozzarella, fruit, potato and standard romaine were just some of the salads offered, with a large amount of toppings available. The hot bar had Brazilian cheese bread, crispy polenta, beef stroganoff, bean stew, breakfast items and more! All was delicious. But don't get too distracted - the meat is the star. The meats were so very good! You choose what you want and the gaucho slices your portion table side. I asked for very small pieces so I could try everything.

I will note that coming before 3PM is the best deal because it's only $36.99 per person for the Full Rodizio versus $49.99 per person after 3PM. Honestly, their salad / side bar has really good offerings. Even if you're not in the mood for meat, you can get some really good offerings from the salad / side bar. There is an option to skip the meat for a cheaper price. The food is all you can eat, which is nice! However, you better come hungry to get your moneys worth. I really like the concept of the place. The food was all very good, fresh, and high quality. The issue I have is that I feel like I can't possibly eat enough to get my money worth. So I would not come to this place often....
