Flat iron steak
Angeline R.

Finally checked out Charleston's with the husband. Our kids were with their grandparents so we decided to enjoy a happy hour dinner at the bar. We didnt know what to expect as we have never been to a Charleston's. It was nice, clean, and fancier than I thought it would be. The bartender was friendly and attentive and we were served right away. They have really good happy hour drink deals. 8 diff cocktails all $8 each. I got the crisp martini and my husband got the old fashioned. Both were good but the old fashioned was a little too sweet. For our appetizer we got the shrimp carrot which was super buttery and cheesy. We also split the flat iron steak special. We ordered it medium rare and it was more of a medium well. It was on the salty side and the steak had the same texture as ham or like a school lunch meat....something about it reminded me of a jerky too. It was interesting and didnt taste bad but unlike any steak texture I've ever had. It cost $29 so wasn't expensive for a steak but I guess we should've gone next door to Mahogany Prime if we wanted good steak or even Texas Roadhouse up the way. Even though we were disappointed with the steak we still had a great time. Will def come back and try a salad or the chicken piccata. Based on the steak, I would give the review a 3 but bc everything else was great, leaving it at a 4 bc I think we just ordered the wrong thing.

My family used to come eat here in person (at the original location at boys town exit) for years when I was in high school so I have fond memories for deeper reasons than most. But the food continues to evolve - yet stay the same - when it should. Today I tried the Dynamite Shrimp Salad (normally I get the Caesar or Cobb -- both equally delish) and I was blown away. Seriously new fave salad. You can test the waters by ordering the shrimp app first. If you like that and greens - get this salad!! You will not be disappointed. ALWAYS get an extra side of the croissants or you WILL be mad at yourself. They are continually soft, sweet and worth the extra money. Other family faves are kale salad, Walt's salad, ribs (!!), baked potato soup and their glazed carrot side. I haven't eaten in house for years so can't comment on service, but remember it being awesome when we would dine in.

Charlestons has been my go-to steak spot for over 20 years Through the years management has changed, locations have changed but the food has always remained the same high quality. I always get the filet with a baked potato and house salad with their home-made blue cheese dressing. I promise you'll never have blue cheese dressing better than theirs. You won't find a better made baked potato with perfect crispy, salty skin. You won't find a better prepared steak. And lastly you won't find a nice big flakey, buttery croissant with honey drizzled on top like charlestons The only negative I will give is I miss the ambiance of the older location. It was dimly lit and had a cozier family vibe compared to the new brightly lit more open, modern design Other than that all of their food is top notch. I know other family really enjoy their shrimp scampi and noodle dishes. They also make killer bread pudding when it's on the menu!

QUESO
Marissa S.

What a fantastic place to eat dinner! I went with a group of friends before a fancy event and it was such a great experience. The place was clean, fancy enough for dresses but also not too fancy where you can't wear jeans and a t shirt. The waiter was so friendly. The food was great but the queso was exquisite!! The croissants were so soft and buttery. All the meats were good as well. We will certainly be back!

Kids hamburger
Brett G.

Had a nice meal to help celebrate our wedding anniversary. Would appreciate the staff doing a little more to make it more memorable, but the food was great. Kids had the burger and ribs. Both were cooked perfectly. Had the 1/2 chicken, which had so much flavor and the salad was really good. It came with a croissant, which was delicious. Kind of wish they gave enough for the table. Hard to split 5 ways. I liked that they had Coke products. It was pretty quiet at 5 pm, but got busier towards the end.

Legacy fried chicken
Bryan J.

I've been going to Charleston's as long as they've been in business, always had great food, always had great service. I'm not sure how long it's been on the menu, but they now have fried chicken and they knocked it out of the park. I've had a two weeks in a row now. Once inside and wants to go. Both times incredible.

Grilled Chicken and Avocado Club
Katie N.

Charleston's has been my family's go-to "what should we eat for dinner" restaurant since I've been a kid. I was sad to see it leave the old location, but I was happy to hear they were keeping the same menu. My husband and I visited the new location last week and had a really good meal. We started with the chips and queso, which I had never had, but it was great - a little spicy! I had a chicken and avocado club. This was a nice, large portion and tasted light and fresh. My husband had the enchilada plate, and he was also impressed by his meal. The only note I have is the ambiance - it is LOUD. I feel like the dark, moody feel of the old building inherently lent itself to using quieter voices, but the bright, new location does not. I hope the invest in some kind of noise-reducing infrastructure, because I know I'm not the only person to notice the voice level.

Kids chicken strips
Malika C.

First time trying charlestons and everything was delicious. Enchiladas were super tasty, and the croissants were some of the best I have ever had. I will definitely be back to try more things.

Chicken Walts Champagne Chicken Salad
Jana J.

I've been in a lot but first time at the new location! Atmosphere and service are both great and fast--just as they were in the old spot. The salad (I subbed shrimp) is amazing--one of my favorites in town! This time it didn't come with as much dressing as usual which was disappointing, but all in all they are a very consistent spot and have a great variety, paired with excellent service!

Dynamite Shrimp Salad
Kiera J.

Always have to get their shrimp dynamite salad!! So beyond good and they're croissants!! Their martinis are always hitting the spot as well!

My hubby works right across the street and I have never been to Charleston's. Well, what can I say? It's beautiful in the restaurant our waiter was friendly, outgoing and pretty cool. Lunch was delicious. Lots of options to choose from and they sometimes have promotions. I had gotten a sandwich and it was pretty big so I was only able to eat one half, but I had something for later. I got home, my son saw the box and I got suckered out of the other half. He loved it too. This review has been a long time coming, so I think I will be planning our next date night.

Suffice to say (before reading my long review) it was not on par with the L street location! The staff were definitely new and learning the menu, but that is to be expected any time a new place is freshly opened. Our server, Blake, was nice though and was learning fast. But with a few other servers, there was one thing that did not come about from being a server in a new restaurant. We were eating and could CLEARLY hear the staff around the corner talking loudly and cursing left and right. I am not a prude about language but it's just not something you see every day at a restaurant with families/kids dining. The size of the restaurant seems a little smaller than the L street location, too. That may be a psychosomatic thing when trying a different location of a place you know, but I definitely felt more cramped. The food is on par with the OG spot, so no complaints there. My usual is the bourbon glazed salmon with the cheesy broccoli on the side. So it was just as tasty as the other location, but I think I'll stick to the L street one mostly going forward.

If Yelp would let me give Pivot Prime a 10/5, I would…read more We've been 5 or 6 times since they opened, including family celebrations, a couple of date nights, and a business dinner, and Pivot Prime has become one of our favorite restaurants in Omaha. It's where I take family when I want to treat them to something they wouldn't necessarily do for themselves, but it works just as well for a date night or a dinner where you need to impress someone. We're already planning to come back for our five-year anniversary. We almost always get the ribeye, medium rare, and they consistently nail the cook. Every. Single. Time. My husband gets the bone marrow bordelaise, I get the au poivre, and everyone is happy. We did splurge on the flaming tomahawk once, and yes, the presentation is fun and dramatic, but thankfully it isn't a gimmick covering up mediocre food. The steak itself was phenomenal. Whatever steak you order, get the potato leek dauphinois. I cannot stress this enough. It is ridiculously creamy, rich, and one of the best steakhouse sides I've had. My husband and I genuinely argue over who gets the last of it, which is probably the strongest endorsement I can give a potato. The shishito Caesar is our favorite salad so far. It's huge, super crisp, a little spicy, and has an excellent dressing. More importantly, there's actual flavor beyond just "we put something spicy in a Caesar." It's one of the few salads I actively look forward to ordering at a steakhouse. We've worked our way through a good portion of the appetizers at this point. RiRi's chicken is fantastic, the beef carpaccio is amazing, the meatball is superb, and the hamachi crudo tastes like summer on a plate. I realize I'm starting to sound like Pivot Prime has me on payroll. They do not. I have unfortunately paid them quite a bit of money. For drinks, I repeatedly order the French Kiss. Tart, sweet, bubbly, and dangerously easy to drink. My husband usually goes for an Old Fashioned with one of their Penelope selections, of which they have several. Their cocktail and whiskey program is clearly being handled by people who know what they're doing. We also never leave without dessert. The affogato is my winner, but anything chocolate we've had has been genuinely good quality. Their seasonal cheesecake with goat cheese whip is also incredible and exactly the kind of slightly unexpected detail Pivot does so well. Beyond the food, the service is a huge part of why we keep coming back. The servers are knowledgeable without being pretentious, friendly, smart, funny, and actually helpful when you're deciding what to order. The atmosphere manages to hit a sweet spot where I can bring family for a celebration, have a proper date night with my husband, or sit down for a business dinner and it feels appropriate for all three. It's upscale and special without feeling stuffy. I do wish their steak knives were better quality, each time they run on the dull side. But otherwise, my one complaint? No weekend happy hour. Pivot, some of us would like to irresponsibly order another French Kiss at a discount on a Saturday. Please consider the people. Otherwise, genuinely 10/5. After this many visits, I feel pretty confident saying the consistency is there. We bring people we love here, we choose it for our own special occasions, and we keep finding reasons to come back. Omaha has a lot of very good restaurants right now, but Pivot Prime is firmly one of the best.

I understand they have the issue that they probably have a high expectation in the fact that they…read moretook over Mohaganys; however, this is not anything like Mohaganys and a "dining experience". Food was horrible first time overly salted, but service was excellent so we thought we would try again. Now food was better but still underwhelming. The service was sub par. No cleaning of a spill, no plate brought for sides when my bowl of ragout didn't allow for sides, I am shocked they don't have bread service still with their prices, the waitress did not seem to have a high knowledge of the menu, no specials, the dessert was ordered incorrectly and overall just not to the expectations of the pricing. Our bill was over $100/person when it felt more like a roadhouse or something. Also, I don't really understand the whole obsession over the crack fries. They are fried potato wedges that are cooked well but don't have much taste and yes the aioli is good but it just seems like a weird thing to be obsessed over. Maybe I have too high expectations of this place because mentally they are in the spot of Mohagany's and they are hard to match. I do not think we will be back.
