It was exactly what you get from a chain food eatery. Kim did a great job as a waitress. The food came out as promised, hot and as order. Kim did a good job servicing us. Their rolls were soft an hit which added to the overall meal experience. The vegetables were Ala dente and lots of choices . We had the plank salmon and it was well spiced and not over cooked. The Cajun sirloin remains my favorite. The steak was cooked correctly and the Cajun butter to melt on it was the perfect flavor. Our group also had the pork chops. Thin but tasty. Perhaps over spiced but decent old timey meal. The place was clean and a typical cookie cutter eatery. read more

We were the first people through the door. They sat us in a booth along a wall. Very nice. Then the next people through the door were seated in the next booth. The entire restaurant is empty except us and the people who are in the next booth who are evidently on a first date. He's talking loudly and about stuff I don't want to hear about. I went to the bathroom, no TP... come back out to overcooked rolls and no plates to put them on. My cocktail has three melted ice cubes floating in it.Obviously the management here is not doing their job. *** my food was hot and tasty *** thanks to the cooks..our server was friendly and helpful *** read more

Food is good. Waitstaff very pleasant. The restaurant itself is absolutely awful...carpet is old and filthy, bathroom fixtures are rusted, door stall locks are missing, floor tiles are old and crumbling, booths are uncomfortable, material is cracking/peeling. This used to be the go to spot in Chester, but now it's more of a last resort. Unfortunately, I would not recommend. ! Definitely needs a complete overhaul read more

Picked up an order. The food was hot and delicious. We ordered the 20 oz sirloin with smashed potatoes and broccoli; and shrimp and grits. Since it was my first time eating at O'Charley's I was pleasantly surprised that the food was flavourful and seasonings were intentional. 10/10 recommend. read more

My wife and I stopped at this O'Charleys #384 on February 2nd. We had eaten at many in the past so we thought this would be comparable. We were wrong. The red sangria was comparable with diluted Cool Aid. I ordered the Cedar Salmon and specifically asked that it be prepared medium. when it arrived it was beyond well done. I managed to poke around the center of the filet to find something edible but only managed to eat about 1/3. when I told the server he said he asked his manager and the manager said since I ate most of it they couldn't do anything to offset the bill. The manager never came over to see us. Also service was extremely slow a they were only about 15% capacity. Don't waste your time or money! wouldn't let me leave 0 stars so I put 1 read more

Ordered Louisiana steak on Grubhub medium rare. It was so tough it couldn't be eaten. Got a refund on the steak. The tea and baked potato was the best thing. Who can't make a baked potato. I'd advise to go somewhere else. read more

I got the country style steak with Mac n cheese and sweet mashed potatoes. The mac n cheese was very mediocre, not that much cheese or flavor. The sweet mashed potatoes were sweet but it didn't taste like anything. The country style steak was a ground beef patty with gravy onions and mushrooms. Nothing extravagant, just very mediocre food. Didn't hate it but also didn't love it. For $15 it will fill you up, maybe I didn't get the best option from the menu, but overall it seems to be a very average restaurant. Food: 5.0 Staff/service: na Overall: 5.0/10 read more

The employees were all interested and trying hard, but the food was awful. I ordered the "new" Reuben sandwich and it was not good. The meat was cheap lunchmeat and the sandwich was made with Cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. My wife had the pecan salad which appeared to be made with bagged iceberg lettuce. Not a very impressive salad. We will go someplace different next time. read more

Free pie Wednesday. Get an entree and get free pie. Walked in during lunch time and was immediately seated. Beverly took my order. She was very pleasant. Their new menu with lunch specials is very good. I ordered the shrimp scampi. First came the hot rolls then the main meal. The scampi was a little spicy which added to the flavor. They have a separate bar area too. I definitely will be going back and try other dishes. Even the manager came by and asked how I liked the meal. read more

My family and I have gone to O'Charley's for several years, and it's our favorite neighborhood restaurant whenever we're all in town visiting. We normally have a fine experience, but unfortunately this was not the case during our latest visit. We went yesterday for a birthday dinner as a party of 6. Our server was nice, but unfortunately the service was one of the worst we've had. - Our friend asked for coffee first, and then tea to come with the food. When everyone else got their drinks, she said she'd be right back with the coffee, but didn't come back. By the time the food arrived, still no coffee (or tea) - We also asked for straws since 2 in our party weren't comfortable drinking from the glass. We never got those either and ended up asking another server for them. Between this and not bringing the coffee, half of our table wasn't drinking anything for the first half hour we were there. - My mother who isn't a native speaker accidentally ordered her steak medium well. I went up to our server immediately after, and corrected it to a medium rare order. When the dish came out, it was medium well. When we pointed it out to the server, she asked if we wanted another one ... which of course we. She took the first steak back and brought a new one, which was cooked just fine. - We also realized later on, that we were charged for both steaks. It was our fault for not checking the receipt, but we were shocked to see being charged for two steaks when we got home. - My brother asked for ranch and buffalo sauce with his meal... he got honey mustard instead. He also asked for lemon with water, which it didn't come with. Again, our server was nice throughout our whole dinner, and very sweet in wishing our friend a happy birthday and bringing a complimentary dessert when we mentioned it. We tried to be patient and nice throughout the experience, but the issues just kept adding up. Having been a server myself, I would have always apologized for any issues that arose and been as attentive as possible, but not once were any of the errors acknowledged. The food was otherwise tasty as usual. A few other issues with the experience in general - unrelated to service: - the restaurant has been freeeeezing the last several times we've gone. We had to grab jackets from the cars! - there was no light above our table, which made it hard to read the menus for the older people in the party - some of our party didn't get the right menu, probably the lunch one, so we were confused looking for the steak dishes read more

Like many before this place is slowly dying. Is it the management, is it the lack of employable staffing, the lack of menu items, or the feeling of uncleanliness. Who knows. Out of fried pickle chips (signature item). We went with the potato skin. Meh I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich was a sad shell of its former self. I've ordered and enjoyed this sandwich in the past. This was not the same sandwich. The only reason they got 2 stars is because we did have decent service. Stick a fork in the place...It's done. read more

Went to this location on Mothers Day. Husband and I lucked up and had the choice of bar or high top. We chose the hightop, but waited quite awhile for any acknowledgement of us sitting there until I flagged down the waitress who was attending to tables around us. She was nice and proceeded to take care of us eventhough it wasn't her table. Food was good besides one mistake on my order of which the waitress corrected asap. read more

Bad service, but horrible food. Our food came out cold and not savory. The broccoli wasn't steamed well, rolls didn't rise, ribs were under seasoned and dry, the drinks were watered down and the staff/management need to be retrained. The experience was brought to the attention and the response was "well I'll fix the food over." When it was brought back the second time it still wasn't good. read more

Service: Know the menu and what's on tap! Doubt we will ever go back! Too crowded! Not worth 85 characters!

Placed a to go order of 2 crab cakes and the pasta with shrimp. The food was absolutely horrible. The crab cakes were burnt and the flavor made them awful. I could not eat them and had to throw them away. I next tried the pasta and the shrimp and I have never had shrimp that was that tough and rubbery. Probably overcooked. They were the worst shrimp pasta I have ever had. For those 2 items my total was over 29.00. I could not eat either one. Totally disappointed and disgusted by the quality of the food. read more

Flat bread burger the patties were not even Really sad from Charlie's I expect that from Mc Ds. The list of places I eat just got smaller! Attempted to contact guest relations your website isn't working troubled to put information in and I'm told there are no O'Charley's in Virginia! Asking for the date of visit and the time and Kristen said give the location my name and phone number sad the location was not found! read more

Went inside and was automatically greeted by the male host. He sat us down and told us our server will be with us in a minute. 10 minutes went by and no server yet. I had to get another server's attention so she can grab my server. Three minutes went by and no one came by. Shake my head at your front of the house people. I will not be visiting this location any time soon. read more

Good food & service! Only negative is they can't get wait staff . Went on a Saturday about 6:00 and was going to have to wait 45 minutes, yet OVER HALF the restaurant was empty tables!! No wait staff available to serve! read more

I offered to take a close friend out to celebrate her birthday today and she chose O'Charley's over a half dozen other options. She ordered her favorite dish, the chicken tenders and fries and I had the Southern Pecan Chicken Tender Salad. Sorry to say she was very disappointed. She said the chicken tenders didn't look like anything she had there in the past. I had to agree. They were very thin and dry, as were mine in the salad. Additionally, the Pecan Chicken Tenders looked exactly like hers, although they were described differently on the menu. Because we were there for a particular occasion, I didn't make an issue of it. The appetizer was OK and Nadia S. did a good job serving us. (Check #2615315) read more

Amazing service. Excellent waiter . very helpful The waiter was very helpful . We were not waiting very long to be seated or get our food read more

The food was great but my waitress Rebekah was phenomenal and I would come back and see her again!!!

Got delivery from here because I'm in town visiting and don't have a car. I ordered $40 worth of food and this is so disappointing. The Mac n cheese looks like someone sprinkled some shredded cheese on it and over cooked it. The noodles were so hard and chewy, and there was absolutely no flavor. The fries were so underdone I had to throw them back in the oven myself because they were basically raw. The only redeeming aspect were the buns and the chicken strips (that still happened to be soggy). Would never recommend ordering delivery from here - waste of money and food that will be thrown out. read more

Yikes, where do I even begin? We were passing through Chester and went here upon the recommendation of a hotel employee. First warning sign: Saturday night, pretty empty lot. Ordered a Bud Light and it tasted distinctly of cleaning fluid. The waitress did not seem at all surprised when I pointed it out. Great sign. Ordered a cup of Loaded "Potato" "Soup." I put potato and soup in quotation marks because this was not a soup and I could not detect potatoes. It was more like cheese fondue. And boy, it was disgusting. My wife and son found it to be an acceptable dip for their fries, however. Now we turn our attention to the club sandwich. Let's just say this is not a club I wish to be a part of. Dry, rubbery lunch meat on crappy bread. My son ordered the "famous" chicken tenders. The only thing they should be famous for is how much they sucked. Avoid this place like the plague. *** P.S. None of this reflects on our server. *** read more

Friendly staff 5 stars Hostess was fast, polite, & turned down the AC because it was freezing cold. Manager was friendly and ran our card for us instead of waiting for server. Server 3 stars Server was friendly and polite but rarely checked in on us. My sauces were not brought out til the 2nd time I asked. Server seemed slow or overworked. Server said they only had the "regular" hot tea, but turned out it was green tea which most people don't consider regular tea. Hot water for tea was brought out in a Styrofoam to go cup. Food 2 stars I love the fact that there is a big menu but it was less than average. Chicken strips. This is supposedly their specialty but they were Luke warm in spots and cold in others. The taste was somewhat pleasant but didn't wow me as worth getting again. The main benefit was being able to order like 8 different dipping sauces which made it better but still not "very good" food. Mac and Cheese was lukewarm to cold and not even as good as most boxed Mac and cheese at grocery stores. The mashed sweet potatoes were the best of everything at slightly above average. Peach Cobbler. Peaches weren't very sweet or fresh. I didn't want more than one bite. If the staff wasn't so nice, this would have been 1 or 2 stars. read more

We ate here to celebrate my upcoming birthday with another family we were visiting. Upon arriving, we waited for seating for about 15 minutes. The host was pleasant enough and made our party of 10 feel welcome. We were given a waitress who wasn't familiar with the menu and very disengaged. We waited almost 45 minutes after ordering for our food. We ate 4 baskets of bread and an appetizer while waiting. Once the food arrived for the children in the party, one of the kids who ordered grilled cheese said their sandwich smelled burnt. After further investigation, indeed it was. Burned and then turned inside so that no one could tell. This happened to two children. They offered to remake and we finally received the new food after everyone pretty much was done. After speaking with the manager, he offers free dessert to the 2 children who had burnt food leaving out the other 3 children. I enjoyed my salad and my girlfriend enjoyed her classic cheese burger. read more

Just ordered a meal for four delivered via Door Dash. This is not an issue about Door Dash. O'Charleys in Chester needs some serious retraining. I've had better meals prepared by my children when they first started to cook. Total waste of 76 dollars. Sad they used to be good. This was far below a minimum standard. read more

We got Delivery! Hubby and I ordered here yesterday and it was so good that we decided to order from here again today! Obviously we tried something different ;) Today bacon cheeseburger, breaded chicken salad, chicken Parmesan. Yesterday O'Charley's French dip! Both times our food came hot and VERY neatly packaged. I can not express how excited I got to see how you guys took the time to carefully package our food... separate lettuce and tomato from hot burger and bun, putting the breaded chicken in foil to keep warm so I could put it over the salad so it wouldn't wilt while being delivered. Oh and Thank you for not adding onions. It's great when someone pays attention to the special requests. It's the little things that make me happy and keep coming back :) We are thinking about trying the ribs tomorrow! Or maybe that French dip again! P.s. Please work on the strawberry cheesecake. It is so small especially for the price. And if I could recommend placing the fresh strawberry and drizzle in a separate container so the juice doesn't run all through the bag ;) read more

My wife and I decided to give O'Charley's a try and we were pleasantly surprised. The hostess was friendly and we were told it would be about 10 minutes. We asked could we sit in the bar and she said yes. We ordered potato wedges and they were excellent. My wife ordered ground steak with onions and mushrooms. I had chicken tenders. Both meals were excellent. Also they gave us 5 rolls. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is great as well. Our waitress was excellent as well. read more

I really enjoyed the chopped steak once I finally received it. It took 45 min to get my meal appetizer came out pretty quick. I did have the opportunity to speak with the manager and he brought out our food personally. He also did not charge for the meal that was delayed. The food was hot and delicious as well as the strawberry lemonade ice cold . Honest and fair business. read more

Cheeseburger was good & fresh. Service was good! I also ordered the apple cobbler, it was hot and delicious not to sweet.

My husband snd I went for lunch today around 1:30. It was a Saturday and the place was pretty busy. We had a very nice waitress... can't remember her name.... Killeen... Kireen.... not sure. She did a good job with all she had to do.... which was too much!! Not enough staff!! The poor girl was working herself to death! When we got there.... we had to wait.... nearly 30 minutes.... I was ok with that.... until I looked over the restaurant and saw dozens of empty tables that two people could have easily squeezed into. Several parties before us actually left due to the long wait. We got the Rib Eyes... 10 ozs.... with a salad and loaded potatoes and a side of mushrooms. The steak was sooo full of fat and gristle that I actually almost choked to death and had to pull it out my throat or I would have died.... and I am NOT exaggerating!! I was trying to tell my husband I was choking... but he was enjoying his baked potato... which was good... but did not help me as I was choking. I ended up having to reach down my throat and as gently as I could pull the gristle back up my throat. My eyes were bulging by then! It was totally scary! I lost my appetite quickly after that and just wanted out of there..... but there is NO quickly at this place. We had a gift card for $25 and I put that with my credit card in the little pay package and the waitress took forever to get back to us... then she took it and was gone a long time... slapped it all back in the table and said she was sorry.... but the gift card was giving her problems and she would get back to us. So we waited... and waited... I was calling the OCharley number on the back of the card and she took it away and said she would figure it out. She did. I know the gift cards can be a pain. I hate them, myself... so I do not put the blame for that on her. She did her best. But the long wait in a near empty restaurant... the near death experience from choking and the long wait just to leave has made this our LAST visit to OCharleys. If you eat here you are actually risking your life! read more

One of the most disgusting meals I have ever had. The food was cold and there was mold on the broccoli. The server could care less as well as the manager who we asked for but never saw. No wonder why your establishments are closing down. NASTY AT ITS BEST read more

I wanted to love it... but I've made it home before realizing they didn't include sides. Least of my worries compared to when I opened my appetizer to see a big black hair cooked into the cheese on my potatoe skins that i just can't seem to get out of my memory so I'll never be back. read more

Rolls are delicious. Tenders aren't terrible though I am not really a spice fan. But I do enjoy interacting with the staff when I do go.
