Best steaks in Cookeville. And plenty of other delicious meals too. Caesar salad is perfectly made with crisp Romaine and a yummy dressing. We've had burgers and other sandwiches and soups and salads. Honestly the food has always been excellent. We usually sit at the bar and Mitch has made us feel like family from the very first time we ate here. read more

Third time here, and Hailie was terrific! Two of us had 12 oz ribeyes and the other had the flat iron. All very good! Caesar salads, cheese and cracker appetizer, loaded baked potato, regular asparagus and the bacon wrapped asparagus (reported to be "excellent") read more

We went yesterday for a family meal. There were 5 of us total . We were seated immediately and drink order taken. We had the crab cakes for an appetizer- very good. We ordered 2 burgers ( fries and homemade chips were great) , one buffalo chicken wrap with a Greek salad , one prime rib sandwich and a Louisiana chicken with asparagus . Everything was delicious. Lots of food for the price as well. We will definitely be back as the menu is huge and we want to try more dishes. read more

Food was good service and presentation poor Good vibe Good music Good friendly staff read more

First time here, and had a Greek salad and the black and blue bacon burger. It was fantastic! Burger cooked just as asked. Salad was fresh, and came out with oil and vinegar, as well as salt and pepper. Clean restaurant, good nostalgic music mix, cool lamps above tables, and artwork on the wall showing a fire from several years ago. Jennifer was my pleasant server and was just the right amount of attentive. I ate and listened to an audiobook, and she responded to my drink levels, brought the burger after I was done with my salad, and was overall just perfect. I'll be back for a dinner service with family when we're all in town. read more

STEAK GRILLED OVER FIRE!!!! Fresh signature salad the bomb. Nice place outside to sit! Friendly staff

Great service and reasonable prices. Parking is limited so come early or take comfortable shoes.

I left my purse there and when I came back for it my $300 Christmas money was gone. It was either our server or the general manager who gave it back to me. No morals. Hope you can live with yourself. Also drinks horrid- who doesn't put ice in an old fashioned? Prime rib was cold. read more

This was such a pleasant surprise after being truly disgusted by Crawdaddys a few months ago. Hands down the best restaurant in Cookeville and I don't understand how the ratings are not higher than other establishments in this town. Everything was amazing and well seasoned. The potato skins won 5 stars all on their own. Prices are better too! You could pay $35 for a filet mignon at Savor which will need to be doused in A1 sauce to add flavor OR pay $29 for a perfectly cooked filet mignon that is seasoned and comes with Au jus on the side that just elevates the flavor even more. Your choice - but will be coming back to CH sooner than later! read more

I was in the area for the first time looking for some local authentic steak without going to another corporate franchise. I had the 10oz ribeye medium rare, and a side of sautéed mushrooms and the chef's signature salad. The food was made perfect and fresh to order and I was especially impressed with the citrus vinagrette and toppings on the salad, very refreshing and tasty. The server was quick and helpful. Hope to visit again soon, must try! read more

Went for our anniversary and it was lovely.steaks were great waitress was wonderful. Nice location

Will definitely be back here on our next trip through town! Analynn was our server, she was great. She checked in on us many times during our visit. We had the smothered filet, prime rib, and lobster tails. Everything was cooked to perfection, and seasoned wonderfully! The blue crab parm sauce for the filet was amazing! Stop sleeping on this place, Cookeville! read more

I ordered the 9 oz medium rare prime rib at the recommendation of my server. Side of sautéed mushrooms and green beans were ordered as sides. Prime rib came out medium, and was chewy. I did not finish. I did not complain. I boxed the left overs to take to the hotel. I was disappointed. On top of everything, I found a long black hair on plate! This out-of-towner will not return or recommend. read more

CH Steak Lounge Restaurant - Hair found on my plate. - Steakhouses Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

Went with a group of six people (we are not from Cookeville). Sat for over an hour with zero drinks not alcoholic or even water. Finally the hostess brought us waters and silverware . Our appetizers came and we still had no drinks nor did we have silverware. Finally after talking to the waitress about where our drinks etc were we finally were able to order our food. Those who ordered steaks did say that their steaks were good. I ordered a prime rib sandwich medium and it was beyond well done. The au jus was incredibly salty. Two of the baked potatoes that came with the steaks were undercooked. The salad for one steak never came, the salad I ordered was drowned in dressing and tasted like it sat in it for at least a few hours. The alcoholic beverages were beyond late and not great. The poor manager was also acting as a waitress and bartender. I will say the manager did comp our poor service and meals. The waitress we had was rude, she ignored us after we asked to speak to the manager. Our drink refills never happened and the waitress was apologizing to the table behind us even though they arrived after us and got their drinks and meals before us. Beware of going to this restaurant not even necessarily because of the food as much as the service (lack there of). Until they get staffing correct I can't see this restaurant making it for long anywhere despite it being recommended to us by the local Harley Dealership. Please consumer beware of poor service before coming here. read more

After a day of antiquing, we "google" searched "steakhouse" and found this local place among the chains. We ordered the 12 oz ribeye, and two sides. All dressings are housemade. House salad made with romaine, cherry tomatoes, red onion and shredded cheese. The blue cheese dressing was delicious, as well as the ranch, served as one of our sides. Iced teas were fresh. Could use more ice. Asked for a separate glass, it was brought quickly. Bartender was our server, attentive without being obnoxious. Hands down this was the best steak, we've had in a while. Well seasoned, juicy, flavorful cooked perfectly. Housemade macaroni and cheese and country green beans were our sides of choice. Double yum. When ordering, truly cooked to perfection. They know rare, medium rare. medium, etc., you won't be disappointed. I only wish we were closer to visit more often. read more

Our first dinner at this restaurant was incredible!! Good food and great service!! My husband had the Mahi Mahi and I had the shrimp, both were cooked perfectly. The steaks looked fantastic We will be back to try them!! read more

Had dinner at the bar. Asked for a Coors Light and the server informed me that they were completely out- draft or bottles. I settled for an Ultra and ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. When the food came out, it was delicious, and reasonably priced. The thing that stuck out at me was that over the bar, in LATE JULY, they still had Christmas decorations up!!!! What the hell? No matter how good the food is, this sends an IMMEDIATE message to your customers that you are lazy, and well, just don't care. I'll come back to Char, since it is in my neighborhood, but guys, I'm dinging you a star for still having Christmas stuff up in July. Get up off your butts and change for the seasons! read more

Steak was burnt Mac and cheese cold. We gave this resturant a second chance and it was worse than the first time.

Very hit and miss. Ordered my steak medium rare and when it came is was overcooked. I made a comment and got the really look m

I'm not sure where I just ate. It's marketed as "The Best Steakhouse in Town" and walked in around 630pm on a Monday. We sat in the bar area, at which time there were 8 patrons at the bar that probably should have been cut off from anymore alcohol. They were very loud and swearing. There was one other couple seated to dinner who were seated before us. We sat, and the server took our drink order and an appetizer order. Our drinks and appetizer order came out. Little did we know the server never even took the order of the couple who was sat BEFORE us. We had drinks and appetizers, and they had NOTHING. I immediately felt bad. Their order should have clearly been taken before ours. We finally ordered each of us ordered a ribeye steak 1 a 16oz and the other a 12oz. After waiting a bit for our food, our server comes to tell us they are out of ribeyes. Ok, so we'll take a flat iron steak. Nope, they were out of that, too. I personally don't like the NY, so I chose not to order a steak. I'M SORRY, HOW CAN YOU BE A STEAKHOUSE AND BE OUTTA STEAKS? The other couple ended up walking out they left some cash on the table for their beverages and straight up walked out. What was good? Beer batter mushrooms Crab cakes Not sure what the steak might of tasted like since it was "sold out". I would have like to have been told that you were sold out of steaks before I sat down to order a steak from a STEAK LOUNGE. So disappointed! More than likely won't be back. read more

Overall not a bad spot if you're in the Cookeville area. We stopped by here since it was dog-friendly on their patio. Service was quick and really great. I ordered the 8oz filet with fries and broccoli on the side and an Ace Pear Cider. Menu says it's the best steak in town and, granted I haven't tried other steaks in the area, that statement holds. Only complaint is the patio. It's a WIP as evidenced by the wood beams they just put in. Had a massive bug problem which I'm assuming will be solved when the patio is finished. Dog friendly on the patio which is a huge plus. Overall a great value considering the steak to price ratio. read more

I have been here many times. The food is the best in Cookeville. Service can be a little slow at times but it is always worth the wait. I will definitely keep going back. My favorite is the Stuffed Louisiana chicken. But everything I have had is amazing. read more

If you want taste!! And great service this is where you want to go. If you're looking for waffle house stay on the interstate!!

This is a fabulous steak restaurant, the staff is awesome... Alyssa gave us marvelous service. However their Chicken Parmesan was not tasty, the pasta and sauce lacked seasoning, yet the chicken was fantastic... I have been here before and had a perfect meal. So I still would recommend this restaurant. read more

The food was ok. Just okay. it was not near what we had hoped for. my husband and one of our guests ordered the daily special. As we understood it, before coming there, the daily special was supposed to be meat with option of one side, or meat and two sides, or meat and three sides. (With price higher for each side added). They were not given the choice. my husband was brought his hamburger steak and kettle chips. He was told there were no options! The kettle chips were much too hard to eat. same with our guest. We were the only customers in there. The service was not good ..at all. Having to ask for water, then server went back to bar to sit and read her book. Had to interrupt server again to bring salt and pepper. and again for napkins. Did I mention we were the only ones in there? read more

I did get a taste of the Mahi-mahi and it makes my decision hard for the next time. Nothing to say but DiLisioso!!! read more

Kind of disappointed that a steakhouse doesn't have a steak on the Sunday brunch menu!? I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich and was not disappointed, it was delicious and had a great flavor. Also, the fries were cooked well and had a good crunch and taste. We had the potatoes skin appetizer and I would definitely eat here again next time I'm through town. read more

Very disappointed. We had gone here as a recommendation from family, but we were very unimpressed. The "Farmhouse Cheese Platter" was truly a joke. There were four cheeses sliced from blocks that could have been from Kroger down the street and crackers straight out of a multi-pack from the store as well-- one was even shaped like a butterfly. There was the tiniest amount of cranberries sprinkled and maybe three candied pecans. For $17, we could have made our own at home with more exciting ingredients. --If you're hoping for a charcuterie board style-- this is NOT it. After receiving the plate of cheese and crackers, we decided to only order appetizers. We tried the "Cheese Stick Roulette" and there was nothing roulette-y about it. There were a couple of long cheese sticks, a couple of normal-sized cheese sticks, and a few little cheese curds. We anticipated some being spicy or having completely different flavors and textures... they didn't. Finally, we had the "Pizza Rockefella" and, though better, was still lacking. It was creamy and crunchy; however, the jalapeños had no kick, the hot sauce was also fairly bland, and the shredded chicken was very dry. We really had high hopes for this place as it had almost 5-star reviews on here and Google. We did not take any photos because we were so unimpressed, though it would have been helpful now so others could understand the level of disappointment that was had. read more

My husband and I along with our labsky came here for dinner last weekend. We chose this place 1) because it was dog friendly, 2) we were excited for some prime rib and 3) the reviews. I ordered a dirty martini, my husband ordered a beer and we started off with deep fried mushrooms and asked for a bowl of water for our dog. Our drinks arrived and mine being a martini was served in a highball glass (no big deal pretty good), my husband enjoyed his beer, the mushrooms were delicious but no water for the dog. We ordered the prime rib medium rare closer to rare with a side salad and french fries. Once again we asked for a bowl of water for the dog. We ordered another round of drinks and this time my martini came out in an even smaller glass than before. Our food arrived, salad was good, french fries pretty good but the prime rib was almost medium and packed flavor. We did finally get some water for our dog. read more

We waited to be seated for quite a while even though it was 4:00 and only one other customer in the place. We ordered our food and waited, waited waited for drinks. Finally 20 minutes after sitting down we asked where our drinks were. The waitress said, Oh I'm so sorry I forgot! " and ran to get our drinks. In the meantime another group sat down, got drinks, soup, salad, and entrees while we were still waiting. At this point there were about 6 tables of customers so it wasn't like they were slammed. After we'd been there an hour I asked about our food. The manager came out and said sorry, there was a miscommunication with the kitchen and they were just dropping our order now. We got the food, it was just okay, and we will NEVER be back. So disappointed. read more

Spacious restaurant with a nice patio. The service is personable and fast. They keep the table cleared off. It was weird that in the current climate none of the servers were wearing masks. The website and appearance of the restaurant gave me the impression it would be fancier than it really was. The food was good but not great. The steak was the best part of both meals. read more

We used yelp to find this steakhouse. We were on the road it was Friday night. We really expected something passable but this was wonderful. Everything was fresh service was wonderful and the atmosphere is relaxing. I had prime rib which I love you can't always get. This was exactly what I wanted and cook the way I wanted as well. My husband had the ribeye and said it was wonderful. Price is a reasonable. read more
