    After taking off the onion straws, I see 1/3 of the steak is just fat.
    Ryan A.

    We had a party of about 30 people, so I knew we would likely overwhelm the kitchen. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they managed to juggle our multiple tables quite effectively. Overall, the atmosphere was very clean and inviting. I was honestly surprised they weren't busier on a Friday night. The menu had a lot of good selections, and the price point felt reasonable. I gave this place a 4-star rating mainly because my wife and I both ordered our steaks medium, but they came out somewhere between rare and medium-rare. The carrot cake is an absolute home run!

    Charleston's is excellent and has a lot of healthy dining options like a grilled fish of a day, grilled vegetables, burgundy mushrooms, salad, and other culinary specialties. Their icee tea is also great. Service was exceptional and the interior is really cool and classy, complete with fire torch lamps. Definitely worth checking out and highly recommended!

    Chicken fried steak
    Teah W.

    First time coming to Charlestons and it was so good, I'll be back for sure! I had the baked potato soup which was super good. The chicken fried steak w mashed potatoes and sweet glazed carrots. The portion was huge but so good I'm usually picky on my carrots but I'd definitely get those again and vietti moscato wine. Wine was sweet really liked that. It took about 5 mins before Jesse came but he did really good. They had some background music in the background not too loud I would say it was moderate to hearing people. I tasted the shrimp scampi and it was good to me too.

    Salad selections
    Jon D.

    The kale and quinoa salad is the premier option for lunch. This salad boasts a large amount of healthy crunchy leaves. It also has an amazing flavor and I try to mix up the salad dressings in combination on each side of the salad. I would definitely go to Charleston's every day, if I could afford it.

    Chicken fried steak

    Ordered delivery. Chicken fried steak was over cooked so very hard. Meat was very tough. And it looked like the steak was not flattened at all as there is breading in the middle between meat so it must have not been flat or turned into itself somehow. With the amount I spent I expected better. My delivery expectations are low but this was awful and very disappointing. The carrots were good and so were the croissants so that was basically my dinner along with mashed taters.

    Ordered the salmon with baked beans and they gave me what appears to be grill grease. Disgusting. No beans.

    Redrock Canyon Grill - Lake Hefner…read more First visit--and I can confidently say this place just earned a spot in our regular date night rotation. We walked in to a packed house, which is always a good sign, but were seated immediately. From there, the experience never missed a beat. Beverly took care of us and was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged. You can tell when someone enjoys what they do, and it shows. We started with margaritas, and when Beverly said they were "perfect," she wasn't overselling it. Smooth, well-balanced, and served ice cold. We're both olive fans, so of course we asked for extras--and they delivered without hesitation. Going in, we made a deal: appetizers or dessert--not both. After hearing about the pineapple upside-down cake with vanilla ice cream, that decision was made pretty quickly. For the main course, Beverly walked us through the menu and the weekly specials: * Rainbow trout with roasted peppers and cucumber salad * 14 oz peppercorn crusted steak with mashed potatoes, broccoli & parmesan I know my wife--steak was the obvious choice for her. I went with the trout. Both dishes were excellent. The trout was cooked perfectly with a light, flavorful sauce that didn't overpower the fish, and the vegetables were fresh and well-prepared. The steak was cooked just right, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes and broccoli finished with parmesan. What really elevated the night was the hospitality. Kirsten, the manager, stopped by to check on us and took the time to have a genuine conversation. She shared details about patio seating and upcoming live music nights, which we're already planning to come back for. Then came a surprise--she graciously covered our dessert. A classy move that didn't go unnoticed. And that pineapple upside-down cake? Warm, soft, topped with melting vanilla ice cream... absolutely worth skipping the appetizers for. The Bottom Line: Great food, exceptional service, and a relaxed but polished atmosphere right on Lake Hefner. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, this is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend for a date night or a nice evening out.

The brunch dishes look amazing too. My only small complaint was that initial service was a bit sluggish when we first sat down, taking almost fifteen minutes just to get water and take our drink order, and my side of fries came out pretty limp and inconsistent compared to how crispy the tots were. Once the meal got moving though, the chill vibe and tasty food made it a really solid lunch overall. the standout comfort food and the super laid-back environment are the absolute best parts about this place. That chicken-fried ribeye is tender, perfectly seasoned, and total comfort on a plate, while the loaded tots are an incredible appetizer to share with the table. The overall space feels warm, casual, and unpretentious, making it a awesome spot to kick back with friends.

As for the food, it was pretty average overall. The best things we ordered were the fried appetizers.

My mom wanted a chocolate malt, but they don't serve malts, so she ordered a chocolate milkshake instead. It ended up being much icier than expected--almost like a Wendy's Frosty rather than a thick, creamy milkshake. If you're expecting a traditional diner-style shake, you may be disappointed. Nothing was bad enough that we wouldn't eat it, but nothing besides the appetizers really stood out either. Overall, it was an okay meal with friendly service, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

Their menu has some core offerings that don't really change, along with other items which are seasonal based on whatever ingredients are available locally. Most things served in the restaurant are made in-house from scratch and those ingredients are sourced locally in Oklahoma which I find to be pretty awesome! Their burgers are delicious, so its extremely hard for me to come here and order something other than that, but I have still been impressed when I have ordered other types of entrees. Lastly, you have to try their whiskey cake at LEAST once. I'm weird about my desserts and only eat one type of cake, one type of pie, one type of ice cream, etc... well, I have make an exception for cake.

The only negative was the tiny pieced shell in the crab cake. Unfortunately thats almost a given for fresh pulled crab meat. Farm salad was very fresh and had a great dressing. I believe it was a white balsamic vinaigrette. I ordered the ribeye,With garlicky spinach. The steak had great flavor. I wish it would have been more tender. But overall, the cut of steak was really good. My daughter ordered the New York strip with fingerling potatoes. The way she demolished that steak tells me that she was hungry and that it was delicious. Naturally, we ordered the whiskey cake for dessert and it did not disappoint. It was everything I remembered. From the spiced pecans to the bourbon cream sauce. I hope to stop by before I leave town and get another one for the road!
