#1 in the world? Could be... Asia has lots of people. But not sure which metric they use. I question the veracity of this statement
Steve R.

I'm reporting about Charley's Cheesesteaks in Reno mall. They claim to be worlds greatest cheesesteaks. As a person who has been to Philadelphia a few times (definitely recommend visiting during the 4th of July) I have to say that this place leaves a few things to be desired. First the meat is plentiful. I mean the bread could hardly wrap around it. If you're going to fry meat and cheese together it's going to be moist. On the east coast bread is kind of their thing. There's definitely more bread than steak in their sandwiches and the seasoning saltiness is more from the cheese than anything added to the steak. Cheese wiz for the connoisseur. There's just too much going on at Charley's. Now to be fair, it's not a bad choice is you want to fill up on protein. It may be the best cheesesteak in that food court. May also be the best cheesesteak in the meadowood mall. But I'm betting it's not exactly the best cheesesteak on the McCarran loop, or even Reno. False advertising. It's like trying to say you sell the best cheesecake but if you're not in New York I'd begin to have my doubts. Interesting experience but certainly not the best in the world.

I'm obsessed with this place. I had the old school cheesesteak and loaded fries! We tried a few places before this wonderful place but we're very disappointed. Thankfully we found this spot last week and this is our 2nd time ordering. It's so good and fresh! This is my new cheat day eating spot

Great and fresh sandwiches and fried so many options for drinks. The service at Charley's is amazing they gave me so many options for what to eat and what to eat in the future.

Cheese "sauce" is weirdly lumpy.

We were getting hangry from shopping in 103 degree weather and needed some food NOW. The mall food court's Asian selections looked unappetizing and I noticed the bacon on the fries at Charleys so we decided on that. Staff was nice. I wanted to spend my carb budget on dem fries so I asked for no bun. They offered a bed of lettuce. Thanks register teenager! The cheesesteak was dry yet flavorful. The fries were delicious yet the cheese "sauce" was weirdly lumpy. It was pretty much what you would expect from a mall food court cheesesteak place. (Note: Yelp is telling me that my review is "average length". I think I will end it here since Charleys seems to be your average food court joint.)

I was a bit hesitant to go here based on the reviews but I was craving a philly steak There was a long line that they went through very quickly Ricardo made my sandwich and was professional and courteous My sandwich was 6.50 and I think this is a fair price. You can add toppings for free Or drink and fries for a meal for extra I'm very pleased with my experience and the sandwich was as delicious as I'd hoped!

This place offers the only cheesesteak option in the food court at the Meadowood Mall, so the business is great for variety and, I must say, I love a good cheesesteak. They have several options for different kinds of cheesesteak sandwiches, so that's great also. I ordered the BBQ cheddar cheesesteak and it was delicious. However, I feel bad for the people working here. It's obvious that they don't enjoy what they do, which is why the customer service sucks. The cashier had a very flat personality and uninspiring attitude, and was ready to move me along as soon as I paid. I expected to be able to leave a tip on my receipt, but surprisingly, the receipt was one and done and the cashier made no attempt to make it easier for me to tip, nor did I find a collection bin to do so with. The cook, a big, black guy, was at the grill cooking up the orders, but save for the fact that he was facing us, I'm not sure he even knew we were there. He never smiled once, nor acknowledged us right in front of him (the grill is part of the counter facing the customers). I was a little disappointed in my order. I ordered a BBQ cheddar cheesesteak, but noticed that it was not a real slice of cheddar cheese put on the steak, but instead, it was shredded cheese sprinkled on top. Any excitement I had for my cheesesteak was halved at that moment. There is an older lady who works at the end of the counter to distribute orders. Her personality was a little more upbeat and she was probably the best part of the customer service experience, but even then, it was lacking. I know I love my job and I go above and beyond to do a great job for my clients, so it really just breaks my heart to see someone doing a job they don't love, and doing it without cause for care. Overall, this place offers a good tasting cheesesteak, but the service issues leave it with only two stars.

Packed to-go very nicely!

The Lady and I have been regulars at Charley's since they arrived in Reno around 2008 (they had a location in the Summit Sierra mall). That location closed fairly quickly due to what the owners stated was exorbitant rent due at the mall (somewhere around $3000 a month). They then opened up shop in the Carson mall and have been there ever since. When we found out that a new location was opening in the mall down the street from where we lived, we were so happy! Basically, this place has one of the best hot subs in town. Go there now and get a sandwich!! Everything is freshly grilled in front of you (unlike some other places where they come pre-made in little tubs) and they have a myriad of extras to put on top of the subs. Try the buffalo chicken sub or the bacon three-cheese. You will not be disappointed!

Small chicken philly and fries!

This is a lovely cafe but the service I received was pretty poor…read more When you first walk in, you'll notice that it is a big open concept space with seating, and a small shop setup in the front. For the shop part, there's some baked goods and sort of deli items you can purchase--almost like a little market. For their restaurant portion, you'll actually have to order at the register and get a number. You can also order the baked items to enjoy at the counter. There were so many unique baked items that looked delicious. As my friend and I awaited to order, we looked over the menu. Prices seemed to be as expected for a place that looks this pretty. When I got to one of the female cashiers, she was not very friendly. She did not smile the whole time, and she made it seem like I was inconveniencing her from the get go, even though I had my order ready to go and I greeted her with a smile. I went ahead and ordered a crispy brunch potatoes and subbed the bacon for the mushroom which is noted to be the vegetarian option; she did have to quickly clarify whether I wanted to add mushrooms vs subbing, so I clarified. I also tried to order a latte with oat milk with their brown butter marzipan house syrup. She was trying to enter the drink order to the tablet and told me that she didn't have the brown butter marzipan button to select on her tablet and that they had brown sugar cinnamon. She tried to explain to me that brown sugar cinnamon and brown butter marzipan are the same. I was very confused by that comment, as that's not true, otherwise why are they separate names/labels? She asked if I wanted to get brown sugar cinnamon instead, and I told her no thanks, and asked to cancel the drink order. When I'm trying a new restaurant, I want to try the unique options. She then gave me a questioning, "are you serious" look, and confirmed if I wanted to cancel, and I said yes. Then I went ahead and paid, she didn't even say 'thank you' to close off, and wish I didn't tip her for that poor service...she wasn't even waiting my table... I don't expect service workers to chat me up, and all I expected was a "hi, what can I get for you?", "We don't have that, would you like something else?", and "Thank you." and also she should have either tried to figure out if 'brown butter marzipan' is in stock and that the button is just not on the tablet from a more senior staff member. It's on the menu, and I can get if you might be out of stock. Her overall reasoning just made it seem like she was being dishonest. I can't believe she tried to tell me essentially cinnamon and marzipan are the same with a bad attitude to top it all off. My friend also saw this interaction and was also frustrated by this experience. She noted that it seemed this lady's coworker noticed this poor interaction from the get go and that they seemed to try to compensate by giving friendlier service to my friend. I did notice later that this particular female cashier was smiling and friendly to other customers, so I have no idea what the problem was. I actually ended up going to the Perenn market that's located in the next building over and they did have brown butter marzipan syrup. I also told them about the above incident and they were unsure of the brown butter marzipan stock in the restaurant and were confused by how the cashier lady's comment how cinnamon and marzipan are the same, and they apologized for it even though they didn't have to. The person who served us our food was friendly. Later when I went to ask for a to-go box from a different cashier lady, this person was very friendly and accommodating. Other than that, portions seemed pretty large. I would say the crispy brunch potatoes were crispy as noted, adequately salted. I think there was some flavors they could add that would take the dish further. If they added avocado, that would be nice, or some citrus flavor. My friends ordered the traditional breakfast and they had varying experiences. Both of them were surprised by how large the dish was, however one person got scrambled eggs and the portion of eggs seemed way smaller than the one who got two sunny side up eggs. The potato pave had a flaked salt finish for one person, but not the other person, even though it wasn't a special request for either of them. The toast was delicious. It seems they use those large loaves, and give you two slices, to which they cut in half (you get 4 pieces of toast in total). Not sure what kind of bread they used, but the texture was lovely--crunchy crust and very soft center. With butter, the bread was perfect. They also used a very fresh peach jam. I would probably actually order this myself! Restroom was very clean and it is located in the back. There is also outdoor patio seating, which looked so nice. Overall, the restaurant is aesthetic, and food was pretty enjoyable, but the service was unfortunately lackluster.

Finally got to try this spot out, after years of driving past it when visiting Reno. I came here…read morefor a late lunch and ordered the Mediterranean chicken bowl which is quinoa, farro, arugula, diced chicken, tomatoe and cucumber salad, Kalamata olives and served with a tzatziki sauce and toasted pita slices. This was exactly what I was in the mood for! Somewhat light but very filling and packed with goodness. My husband ordered the Reno deli special which had salami and pepperoncinis, pesto and served with a small side salad with blue cheese and cranberries and a white balsamic dressing. I didn't try his sandwich but he said it was delicious and the salad was very lovely. I also got to try the tomato bisque which wasn't super smooth but I w joyed hw texture. Service was great by every staff member we came in contact with. This will be a new regular stop for me, anytime I am in Reno. There is seating inside and some tables outside as well. Location is in midtown with lots of shopping to do nearby.

19 years running and still one of the most beloved restaurants in all of Northern Nevada!…read more Is it the scratch made suits? Perhaps The always smiling and overly friendly staff? Or is it that epic side salad that comes with every sandwich? I like to think that it's a combination of everything above that makes this place a spot that people return to time and time again. For me, it's the friendly faces and the family owned lives that this place is dudes which bring me here from time to time. And the warmer Mo I don't often think about it, but they do have incredibly welcoming patio with lots of shade and great salads and sandwiches if you don't feel like soup. But of course there's always an awesome option of having a cup of soup with your sandwich just to round out the experience. From what I can tell, not a whole lot has changed about this spot and that's with good reason. The people have spoken over and over and over again in this community loves this restaurant just the way it is. When you come here, you can't go wrong with the grilled cheese and classic tomato soup but if you're feeling adventurous, try the soup sampler and taste a few at once to pick your favorite then find out when it's on the menu so you can plan your return based around it. Me I'm a sandwich guy and my most recent visit. I had to try the barbecue chicken on the jalapeño cheddar roll. Chicken with succulent, not overly sauce with light spice and the fresh veggies on top made for a really nice sandwich. The bread was a little bit thick and I ended up eating most of it open face so in the future, I'd say if there's an option for this barbecue chicken to go on top of the salad, you won't miss there. Speaking of salad that cute little side salad that comes with all the sandwiches is so good. Their house made white balsamic vinaigrette is just absolute fire and no meal here is complete without it. 19 years in and Sup is still hot. When's the last time you visited?

Service was friendly no complaints there Overall food was not very flavorful.. too many flavor combinations trying to be fancy and for the prices of each dish I would not recommend this place. I saw it was on the yelp top 100 at one point..so I had wanted to check it out.. but it was very disappointing. A glass bottle of very warm water with the 2 smallest glasses with ice was brought to the table first. Ice is nice especially when its 100 degrees outside. But the glass was like a shot glass and with the water being so warm by the time we ordered our food all of the ice was melted which made that 1st glass of water cold which was a couple of gulp but then you're left with warm water. Food presentation was very beautiful. Taste of food wasn't anything you'd come back for. We ordered the mushroom raviolis.i expected a white sauce as it said creme sauce but it was a red sauce. It came with crispy potatoes which were very thinly sliced and fried potatoes and a citrus salad which was arugula and a very tasty dressing. There was maybe 5 raviolis not great..the red sauce is all you can taste some loose mushrooms around the raviolis in the sauce. The fried potatoes great in presentation ok in taste but I wish there was more potato in each bite. The arugula and dressing were the best thing I ate out of 4 dishes I tried. We also had the potato taquitos which I was looking forward to but it was very dense and the potato tasted like how a bad potato smells. Other than that it was very very bland. Nice crisp on the taquito. The gnocchi pasta dish was also no flavor. The sausage in it was good. 2nd favorite item was the slice of bread toasted on both sides. The bread was almost as big as the food on the plate. The 4th dish was the potstickers which also were just ok.
