I was in Orlando for work, and a friend's daughter recommended Charley's Steak House for dinner. She was 100% right. After a long day, this was exactly what I needed. This place has everything you'd want after a long day at a Conference. I ordered the Prime Dry New York Strip, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. I don't know what they do behind that grill but it's a work of art. Kudos to the griller! Without exaggeration, it was the best steak I've ever had--and I've had steaks all over the world, including in many of the biggest cities across the U.S. The bacon-wrapped scallops were phenomenal. Sure, bacon makes almost everything better, but these were on another level. They are an absolute must-order. I also want to give a shout-out to our server, Chase. I'm sure the entire staff is fantastic, but Chase made the experience even better. He was attentive, personable, knowledgeable, and never let our drinks get low. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Orlando, and I'll be requesting Chase when I make my reservation. If you're looking for an incredible steakhouse experience, I can't recommend Charley's enough. read more

Charley's Steak House - 21 Day Primed NY Strip - Steakhouses Near Me - Orlando, Florida

If you're in Orlando you have to go to Charley's. It's so good, be prepared to wait. Price? You absolutely get what you pay for. Service? Excellent. Food? Melt in your mouth good. Parking is a pain but take advantage of the valet. It's worth it. When you walk in the door, you're staring at the masters at the grill. Hats off guys. You can't get better "first impression" read more

Food was okay, but overall it was very over seasoned in my opinion. The restaurant has an old school steakhouse vibe, which I liked at first. I chose to try this place because I wanted something different from the typical chain restaurants, but unfortunately I left disappointed. I ordered the 18 oz ribeye and it was extremely salty. The bacon and cheese mashed potatoes were overpowering with garlic and also very salty. The asparagus was overcooked. The service started off pretty good, but the ending made the experience uncomfortable. When the bill came, the server set the tip screen with options around 22% to 28%. I selected "no tip" because I planned to leave a cash tip instead. The server then stood at the table watching while I counted my cash. I asked for change for a $20 and he continued to stand there and watch me count the money. He waited for the tip, collected it, looked at the amount, put it in his pocket, and finally left. The interaction felt intimidating and unprofessional. Because of that experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

The steak alone was a 10/10. The quality and flavor of the meat were definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the sides didn't live up to expectations. The mashed potatoes were clumpy and dry, but the bread was amazing. We took some home because it was addicting. The lobster mac and cheese was also disappointing. It looked better than it tasted with a bland flavor and watery consistency, so we ended up returning it. I'm not sure if we got a bad batch, but I personally prefer Ruth's Chris mac and cheese. The calamari, which our server recommended, was also overcooked and overly crispy to the point where you could barely taste the actual calamari. The service was a 10/10. The staff made sure everything went smoothly and made our anniversary dinner special. The dark, classic old-school steakhouse ambiance with tablecloth covered tables was a nice touch. Overall, while the steak was excellent, I'm not sure I would return. There are other steakhouses with similar quality meats that offer better sides and a more complete dining experience. read more

I love how the decor is classic with wood accent. the service was amazing! We love how attentive Wayne was. We truly enjoyed all the dishes. The half shelf oysters were big and briney, the alligator bites were small and nicely fried, the baked clams had flavorful ingredients, the escargots were soft (the oils were great for dipping bread sticks) , salad was drenched in dressing but still fresh and crunchy, and the cauliflower was huge!. I think the only disappointment was the ribeye. It was full of tendon and hard when it's supposed to be tender. The quality of the ribeye tasted low tier. We were glad the manager didn't give us a hard time when we told her we didn't like it. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here! read more

Hands down, the best Sirloin I've ever had. I got the $80 prime boneless sirloin and ordered it rare plus...came out perfect! Juicy, tender, and the flavor of the wood grill tastes this steak to the next level. This steak does not need any type of sauce or condiment added, just enjoy every bite. The portions are fairly large and come with a house salad and bread. The salad was chopped with tomato, green olives, Parmesan cheese, and a Spanish vinaigrette. The service was a 5 out of 5. This restaurant is a true classic gem. They do sell cigars as well and offer seating on the patio to smoke. Although, I didn't have room for dessert, it looked like it was a piece of art and enough to share. read more

Charley's is hands down our favorite steakhouse, and last night proved exactly why. We celebrated our son's 15th birthday and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The manager even came out with an amuse bouche to kick things off, which was such a thoughtful touch, and the steak presentation never gets old -- it's always such a great experience. Our server, Austin, was phenomenal. We never had to ask for a single thing. He was attentive without being intrusive and truly elevated the whole evening. We started with the lobster bisque (incredible), calamari, and shrimp cocktail -- all delicious. My husband and I shared a porterhouse with au gratin potatoes, asparagus, and a one-pound Australian rock lobster that was out of this world. Our son had the ribeye filet with a fully loaded baked potato and loved every bite. We've had amazing steaks in New York and San Francisco, but we always come back to Charley's. The quality, service, and overall experience are unmatched. It's consistently outstanding and always worth it. Can't wait to return! read more

I must say I was pleasantly surprised and it was beyond my expectations. We chose this restaurant from the Yelp thought it was close to the hotel that we were staying at and we're really glad we did. It wasn't a busy night. It was a Sunday. We had a nice table. Old world steakhouse think of the ambience also it was a birthday at the table DANIELLEC an excellent waitress she was professional knowledgeable and she took great care of us. We had three glasses of wine. We had a king on the bone steak a fillet a cauliflower which I must say was OMG because of the birthday they gave complementary meatballs and then desserts. It's like an old world steakhouse with some of the old world service that we haven't gotten in a long time definitely if you're in Orlando and near the Universal Studios make it a way to go there because I think you'll really enjoy it. They have valet parking, but there was parking plenty of restaurants around the area. I'm not sure where the area really is but it was about a five minute drive from our hotel. read more

Came here for dinner by myself while on a work trip and had such a nice experience here! My server was awesome and the ambiance was very nice. The food was good, I got the filet mignon and enjoyed the salad and bread it came with. Maybe I am hard to impress when it comes to steak but I did not think it was out of this world. Definitely very good but I was expecting something more after what I had heard from others. Overall I think this is an excellent restaurant with great service! read more

It was my first time dining at this restaurant. I can't believe I had not tried Charley's sooner. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back! I wanted to take my mom to a restaurant for her birthday that we've never tried before so I decided on Charley's. If I could describe Charley's Steakhouse in one word, it would be THANKSGIVING!! The food is so flavorful, delicious, hearty and flavorful. Upon arrival I noticed there were quite a few parking spaces reserved for complementary valet parking. I'm not a fan of valet parking even if complimentary so I had a difficult time finding parking because there were not that many non valet parking spots available. Once I entered the restaurant, I was immediately greeted by staff and managers welcoming me and thanking me for choosing to dine at Charley's. I had called ahead to make a reservation and to notify the restaurant that we would be coming to dine for my mom's birthday. So, when we got to our table, we found a birthday card and flower accents. It was a nice little touch. We were immediately greeted by our waiter and several wait staff. We were given a steak and lobster presentation. We aren't big steak people so we came for seafood and chicken. We started with a special chef created meatball appetizer. The sauce was amazing! Next was the fried grouper bites, which were absolutely delicious. I could have eaten the entire plate. The accompanying tartar sauce was fabulous. This appetizer was flavorful and delicious. It was also a good portion of food. Next was the complimentary salad and bread. The salad was a nice portion a little too wet and cold. I believe the salad must have been previously prepared with the dressing already on the salad which made the salad a little soggy. Next the made entree and side dishes. We ordered the chicken and salmon for the entrees. We chose the mashed potatoes, lobster macaroni and cheese, and broccoli for our sides. The chicken was huge! It tasted good, a little tough, but good. The salmon was my favorite out of the entrees. The salmon was a generous portion, it was flavorful. The topping really took the salmon to another level. I paired it with the tartar sauce, excellent! The sides were huge. I was expecting small portions but to my surprise, the portions were anything but small. I immediately felt like a Thanksgiving feast had been placed right in front of me. The broccoli was a generous portion and tasted good. I'm not a big broccoli fan but wanted some sort of vegetable to accompany the meal. I would love to see a cream spinach on the menu. I know that would probably be amazing. The mashed potatoes were so flavorful, rich, delicious, and amazing. The lobster macaroni and cheese was so heavenly. The flavor was out of this world and probably my favorite side. Although I didn't see much lobster at all, the flavor was spectacular. If you are looking for generous portion and flavorful food. You have got to try Charley's Steakhouse. I will definitely be back without hesitation. I will be adding this restaurant to my rotation. read more

Update review 1 week later! 4.250-4.50! It's a phenomenal time in Orlando, where the weather is sunny and warm but not extremely humid. Add into the mix that this particular Thursday was the first day of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, and now you have a reason to celebrate. We embraced a full day at the API tournament, with an add-on experience at Charley's. knowing the restaurant is a short Uber ride away, I secured a reservation quickly and soon afterwards we were whisked away. Every now and then, I like to add in reservation notes to see if the hostess staff picks up on it and tries to make whatever small accommodation happen. On this update review, I had my Brother with me and thought sitting by the beautiful elevated fish tank would be a nice touch (when you know, you know). The waitstaff acknowledged my request and confirmed if I still wanted it. Great first encounter with a restaurant that confirms your reservation and any seating request. Immediately after, we were guided to our booth, seated directly in front of the fish tank (thank you). Soon after, we were greeted by our server, Chris, who quickly took our drink orders (Waters: one still, one sparkling, a side of limes. Drinks: 2 Expresso Martinis). Now, whenever I go to a restaurant, especially a higher-cost one, I generally like to compare common dishes or drinks from another similarly priced restaurant to see attention to detail and catch any different styles employed. One such comparison was here, we ordered 2 espresso martinis and didn't specify, nor did we ask how we liked them. What showed up was delicious, but it was a milky dessertini. All good, we got another one. Moving into appetizers, we went with another common dish: tableside steak tartare served with sliced baguette. The bread was not good and tasted kind of stale. It would be great to see it grilled on that fantastic grill they have in the front. The tartare itself was done well, and I would say just above average. The next appetizer we got was the citrus-marinated gator tail meat. Overall, it was ok, but as expected, nothing to write home about. A one-and-done dish. Mains: I tried the 21-Day bone-in ribeye at medium rare. The steak came out very well and was at a good temperature. You can really taste dry-aged meat at this level. Pro-tip, try the steak sauces. Currently, my favorites are the truffle and the cognac ones. My brother had the filet mignon, and it was done well. Overall, Charleys did a great job on this impromptu visit after a day in the Florida sun and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. . read more

We're back baby & we are craving some awesomeness from our Favorite Steak House. Ivan was our knight in shining armor. My wife loves the white sauce with capers that is on the grilled chicken. We were here a few weeks back and had a ribeye so I went with the pork chops & they didn't let me down. They are always cooked perfectly each and every-time we order them. I could go on and on but Charlie's has always been great & the atmosphere is welcoming. AAA+++ Baby read more

A solid place to celebrate any occasion! Charley's is a local steakhouse that has a lot of old school charm and elegance. We came here for my mom's birthday and had a fantastic time. Steaks were prepared perfectly and the sides were decadent and tasty. Very classic presentations, and every dish was delicious. Prices were very reasonable given the more upscale experience and the quality of the food. Service was also friendly and attentive. read more

Service was great. Everyone was very polite and attentive. The place was nice enough on the inside and wasn't too busy which I appreciated. It is very expensive though and I would say that the portion sizes are good. However, I feel like the steak isn't all that great. Probably not quite worth the price tag. Their butter they put on the steak does make it really good. For me, this was probably just a one time trip. read more

An Absolute Masterclass in Steakhouse Excellence Charlie's Steak House Orlando isn't dinner -- it's an experience in elevated indulgence done flawlessly. We started the evening in true Florida fashion with the Wild Florida Gator, and let me tell you... tender, perfectly seasoned, lightly crisped -- it was shockingly refined and dangerously addictive. Florida on a fork. Next came the Bacon Wrapped Scallops -- sweet, buttery, and wrapped in smoky perfection. Each bite was that rare balance of rich and delicate that reminds you why scallops are royalty. The Point Judith Fried Calamari was everything calamari wishes it could be -- light, crisp, and never greasy, with a fresh ocean snap that made you forget you were 1,000 miles from the coast. Then arrived the Cedar Plank Crab Cakes -- loaded with lump crab, kissed with smoke, and bound together with just enough seasoning to let the crab sing. No filler. No fluff. Just decadent coastal luxury. And then... the main event. The 12oz Center-Cut Filet Mignon, cooked to a flawless medium, was butter on a fork. Perfect crust, warm pink center, seasoned with reverence -- this is the kind of steak that makes you pause mid-bite because you don't want the moment to end. Dessert? The Key Lime Pie was the mic drop -- bright, creamy, perfectly tart, and impossibly smooth. Florida sunshine in dessert form. Pair all of this with an absolutely stunning gin cocktail (balanced, botanical, refreshing perfection), and you've got a night that doesn't just satisfy -- it spoils you. Charlie's doesn't just serve dinner -- they create memories. This is where celebrations belong. This is where cravings come to life. This is where steakhouse dreams are fulfilled. If Orlando had a culinary crown, Charlie's would be wearing it. read more

Had a great experience here at Charley's! We were able to make reservations and were immediately seated when we arrived. It didn't look too crowded. There was a guy cooking steaks in front of the restaurant and he was so friendly! The customer service is always impeccable. My brother celebrated his birthday here. They gave us complimentary ice cream. The steaks were delicious! I enjoyed the espresso martini. So smooth and delicious. The food was great if you want to splurge here.

Food was amazing with generous portions. The house salad that comes with it is like my second favorite salad in Orlando. Not much dressing just subtle. Ordered the ribeye and broccoli with some cab. After I ordered I was asked for a credit card even before I got the food. I was a bit offended by this like I was not able to afford the food. I've ate at the bar before and ordered food and did not get asked to put a card on file. I believe the bartender name was Jeff. So I guess the steak took a little longer than a reasonable time so the manager came out and did not charge me for the glass of wine which was great because I didn't say anything I was just enjoying the apps but she was real nice and gave me her card but I misplaced it. Other than that little event I had a terrific time. I would have gave it a 4 stars otherwise read more

Absolutely phenomenal dining experience at Charley's Steak House! The steak was cooked to absolute perfection-just like the beautifully charred cut shown in the 116.png reference photo.

Five Stars for food. But honestly service really was lacking. A reservation for 7:30 was set and we arrived on time. My husband and I approached the hostess and were told that we would have to wait because they were busy. I asked how long and they couldn't give me an answer. Finally after about 25 minutes passed reservation they finally sat us. I observed several empty tables on the way. Our waiter also didn't really tend to us and continuously tried rushing us about our order. Ugh. Now the food was great! I ordered a 12 oz filet and husband ordered the aged ribeye and we shared a side of au gratin potatoes. Everything was cooked and seasoned to our liking and received in a timely manner. Overall I loved the food but we came for the experience and this place fell a little short in that regard. read more

Had a big work dinner in the private room at Charley's Steak House and was amazed by how flawlessly they served a group of 45 people. Not only the speed and efficiency, but also the quality of the food. We started with the seafood tower which had oysters, 2 types of crab and shrimp. I got really lucky because the people seating next to me didn't like oysters so I got 1/2 dozen all to myself. Don't judge! Next we had a choice of salad, either the Caesar or the lettuce, blue cheese, tomatoes and bacon. Both very good and super generous portions. After that came the most perfectly cooked filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and asparagus. Wow! Is the only way I can come up to describe it. Finally there was a ridiculously humongous chocolate dessert and the butter cake, I only had 1 bite of each and I thought the the butter cake was my favorite. Delicious meal! read more

5 stars for always exception service!! A plus when remembering prices, is that the steaks do come with a house salad. Caesar salads are not included and are at menu price, however it is huge and delicious and could probably feed more than two. I ordered the bison with truffle butter, and I was kind of let down. Our server boasted its leanness and grass-fed origins, but honestly, my cut was extremely fatty, so only about half of the actual dish was edible. Which was kind of a let down when you're paying close to $100 for a piece of meat. Garlic mashed potatoes were great! They also brought out a complimentary ice cream for a birthday celebration. read more

Charley's Steak House - Steak, potatoes, " lobster special" - Steakhouses Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a fancy-schmancy steakhouse with prices to prove it. I came with a friend on a Saturday night. Charley's provides free valet parking as the parking lot at this plaza is insanely crowded. We started with some wine to accompany our complimentary basket of bread. The 'by the glass' menu is limited (most are bottles) but the selection is pretty good. I got a decent Caymus Bonanza cabernet sauvignon (price of a glass was the same as a bottle at Total Wine). I ordered the 18oz New York Strip Steak which came with a salad. We also shared a side of asparagus. The salad was fresh, crisp, and surprisingly delicious for how simple it was. The steak, flame-grilled to perfection, was a juicy treat to eat (although I've had better steak at numerous other steakhouses). The asparagus was wonderful. But the highlight for me was dessert; the best key lime pie I've ever had the pleasure of sliding into my mouth. Absolutely amazing. Our waitress was rather robotic. A total absence of personality, just spitting out waitressy lines in a monotone voice she has probably said over and over for years. This was just a job with a goal to get through the night. But I'll give her credit for being attentive and also confirming my assessment that the key lime pie was the best thing on the menu. p.s. don't forget to tip the valet read more
