May I suggest: It's a few years since I've been back to Charann's, and they don't carry some of the usual items I used to get (farewell, broccoli, cheddar bites! I hardly knew thee) But that's okay now that I've had their famous cheesesteaks, but the turkey version of it. The meat is soft and tender, the cheese melted perfectly in a soft, hot, fresh roll that really hits the spot on a freezing day. They're very generous the peppers and you can add some fixings to it for a moderate and reasonably priced upcharge. The service here is always very fast and friendly and welcoming, and even though I'm outside, they check on me often. They have a great, covered patio that's not only comfortable and inviting, but pet friendly, too, so I can cart my precious Muffin with me on those nights. This is a true neighborhood gem not to be missed! read more

Oh my God. The blue cheese. The bacon. Did I mention the blue cheese? And the bacon? Oh yes. Every time that I've brought my family in to eat, it has always been a wonderful experience. The food has been hot and delicious and the wait staff has always been friendly, and the service has been on point. We went in probably four or five times a year and it was always really good. I've moved away and now I will miss them. read more

Came here with a sizable party after a work event-kickball game and the staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating to us on a Friday afternoon. The lemon pepper wings were my favorite tasting food item and I also loved the Turbo Blossom specialty cocktail the most. This was a great spot to enjoy conversations with coworkers and eat great bar food and fun drinks. read more

I don't know where to start. I mean the service was great. The staff there was nice But if you're planning on stopping here to grab something to eat, you're better off driving down the road at to Wawa to get better food and that's that's really shitty to say but it's the truth The mac & cheese literally craft mac & cheese that they're overcharging for Got a Cuban and the Cuban over price freaking $14 for a Cuban that doesn't taste good at all. You're better off eating dog food to be honest. But of course, can't expect much from a bar But if you want a place to have beer, this is the place that keep the food out of your mind read more

We had a family birthday celebration here and everyone had an awesome experience. Bethany told me that she didn't want me to worry about a thing and enjoy the celebration, and that is exactly what I did. My family all raved about the delicious food and excellent service provided by the entire wait staff. We will definitely be coming back again for lunch or dinner and any future events. read more

We are back here again for drag queen bingo. We brought a friend that happens to be drinking alcohol. She has had a few with pickle backs. When she asked for and extra pickle back and a larger shot.the server (that was swamped i found out) was taking a loong time. Then the bar tender came over and got snippy with out friend saying the drinks are measured and she can only have one pickle back. My thing is if she is PAYING FOR DRINKS then give her her drinks and charge her accordingly. read more

Charanns has THE BEST philly cheesteak around. Hubby loves it, i love the chicken version. You can pick your own peppers you want on it and customize it to your taste. AND they have steak fries! Service is always good and it's generally a great place to watch Sunday football. It's a typical sports bar with good food. It's decorated as a traditional sport bar. Nice place to chill and watch the game! read more

Cute little random bar near Home Depot! Has outside and inside seating. We did trivia on a Thursday I believe! Cheap drinks and good food! I ordered a Caesar chicken wrap and philly cheesesteak the other time. Both really good! Service was on point both times! read more

I have to say Britteny is an absolute superstar! She runs around this place and makes sure everyone is taken care of. She is full of life and energy. The food is amazing and I can't wait to come back !! read more

Went there for lunch and really enjoyed my meal. The service was excellent, very sweet waitress. We decided to do lunch there once a month!! It's also a great place to watch the games. read more

I've been coming here for a few years. I love their cheesesteaks especially with all the great pepper options. I'm a die hard for their boiled peanuts too. Unfortunately I've not tried their other menu options as I have a hard enough time choosing - to forfeit my favs. I drive over 30 miles to dine here; that's says it right there read more

If you want the absolute BEST Philly cheesesteak in Tampa look no further than Charanns Tavern! I've been a regular at this place since their previous location and let me tell you they never disappoint! You can customize your Philly with sweet, mild or hot peppers and it's so amazing! The bread is always super fresh and if I'm dining in I always get an order of steak fries that are pretty amazing too! Love this place and I love that the quality has stayed the same throughout all these years ! Keep it up Charran's!! read more

Very good food at a reasonable price, and very good service. A very nice Tavern where locals gather.

I placed my omelette order just before the 1pm Sunday football games. I sat down to wait for the games to start. At about 1:10 the bartender told me that the cook/manager refused to make my omelette bc he received the order at 1:01pm. I went to speak to the manager and he was a TOTAL PRICK! He refused to make the omelette and did not care if he was losing money. One would think that a (manager) would want s happy customer instead of a now PISSED customer; whom will no longer frequent this GARBAGE bar. I wish I could give a negative rating. Do NOT frequent or visit this bar! Total GARBAGE! read more

Rough crowd and worse atmosphere. The food is really good A+ to the kitchen staff for kicking ass., clientele brings it down 2 to 3 stars not their fault read more

Just moved up the road (during Covid19 lockdown) I am so happy to find such a great neighborhood place! My husband got the Ruben and I asked for their special Philly Cheese Steak. Both were awesome! I met Bethany (owner) she is very sweet and I look forward to when this all passes and it can be my neighborhood "Friends"! Until then, I will try something new each time and give my locals some business. read more

This is the best cheesesteak in the Tampa Bay Area if you like just a little (or a lot) of heat with your steak. This is basically a dive bar in a kind of questionable neighborhood. There are lots of TVs, and its not a bad place to watch a Bucs game. But -- go for the cheesesteaks. I suggest ordering at least "medium" hot -- although I like "hot." Love the steak, the peppers, the cheese, and the buns. The steakfries and tater tots are not bad either. I love this place for the food -- you gotta try it. A very well kept secret! read more

Loved this place until tonight. Brought parents in town for a late dinner. Close to home and usually decent. Order beers, came out super slow. No biggie having a good time with fam. Order cheese steak, melt, 6 wings. One hour later food comes out cold. Again no issue brought to staff. Order was incomplete missing items, waitress said ok...20 mins later nothing. Go to ask waitress and attitude followed by confrontation by waitress friends and boyfriend in booth. Bar manager slow to respond as things escalate. Local tavern with locals. ....Waitress friends were quick to get everything they needed. Neglects anyone else. No excuses just results. *Not to mention wait staff failed to wear mask at all. Bar staff needs serious training. It's a shame this has become a personal watering hole for staffs friends and boyfriend Stay away from this dirt hole read more

Charann's is located in a partially occupied non-descript strip mall. The interior atmosphere is standard sports bar. The main event here is Charann's Cheese Steak which has been their marquis for years. That is all I ever order. You can order mild with banana peppers or dial it up as hot as you want to go. Prior to the early 90's, Charann's was located at the foot of the Courtney Campbell Causeway in a cinder block building with a gravel parking lot. It was very dark inside and you had to exit slowly for your eyes to adjust to the bright sunlight. You avoided using the restrooms. It was the perfect dive bar but was torn down for road expansion. Good news, they will be moving at the end of the summer near Home Depot on Hillsborough/Sheldon Rd where they will have an outdoor seating area. read more

Charanns Tavern - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We used to love going and ordering steak sandwiches and a basket of fries. Now the portions are much smaller and not worth the trip. Used to order a basket of fries and would split. Now comes on a tiny plate and are told that was only size. When one of our friends ordered a sandwich and his came with fries...larger portion than when ordering JUST fries. My friends that were loyal patrons (when they fly in from LA a bunch of us would meet here) have noticed the same thing. We won't be going back...unless things go back to normal. read more

This place is clean and air conditioned and offers a full bar! What else can you want? The service and food are average so I'm not planning to come here every evening. But, if we need a stop in the area to get our drink on, Charanns will work! read more

Best Reuben in Tampa!! Handsdown! My favorite place on UberEats! Cooked perfectly. Melted cheese, toasted bread and juicy meat.

Tonight was a disaster, made more disappointing because it's been a favorite spot for years. There was no service. We sat for 15 minutes before a server took our orders and another 20 minutes before we gave up waiting for a drink or a sandwich. We finally canceled the drink order and had the food packed up to go. We had to have our bill redone because she had the prices wrong. A bartender apologized for the incompetent server but I blame the management, which was nowhere in sight. Without sufficient staff on a busy evening, the poor new waitress was helplessly out of her depth. I still love the original Charanns sandwich. Someday I may go back and see if they've obtained a qualified manager to straighten the mess. read more

We went to Charann's yesterday to give it, yet, one more last try. Their famous steak sandwich which we've been enjoying for over 35 years (from way back on the causeway) has been deteriorating in taste and size for several years. It STILL DISAPPOINTS in both taste and size, and the price, like all other places, has increased. Don't mind paying more for the same good food, but that simply isn't the case. REALLY DISAPPOINTED I even gave the newest owner (Bethany) the consideration of my personal critique in a previous private visit. I guess it did not matter. I wish her success, but I fear it will be without our business. So, So SAD. read more

Loved the fact there was live music when we walked in. Great musician! Service was slightly delayed, but she was super nice so no worries! The only thing I was a little disappointed with was my French dip sandwich. The cheese didn't really melt? It more so just hardened into clumps and the meat was 100% taken from the freezer in sheets. The au ju was lighter colored, which originally through me off, but both the juice and the bun were fantastic. 4 stars for me because of the sandwich and the specials on the tables were outdated without prices listed. Turns out they were shots and not even cocktails like the sheet said. read more

I only gave one star because you have to give at least one star to move on. The sausage was horrible. They really should take it off the menu. The cheesesteak was just okay. I guess I expected more after reading the reviews. The service was extremely slow. It took at least 45 minutes to get a sandwich. It was college football day and all the TVs inside were tuned into the Tennessee game while the gator fans had to sit outside and watch the game. Talk about the service being slow, our bill was $15 and we gave the waitress a $100 bill and she actually asked us if we wanted change back! I am pretty sure we made two visits there, our first and our last. read more

My server was rather nice and pleasant... that was the reason why I bumped up my first impression of one star to two stars. But the food? Eek. I got the cheesesteak and a side of onion rings. The rings had a nice crisp to them, but no seasonings in the batter that I could taste. The cheesesteak, however... skimpy meat, skimpy onions, skimpy peppers. But honestly, the worst thing was the roll it was served on. I have never had a roll this unpleasant before in my life. It was as soft as a potato roll, but had this over processed flour flavor that dominated everything. For an hour later, the taste of it lingered as I was driving and I actually had to stop off elsewhere for food JUST to get the taste of it out of there. I will admit, there were a goodly amount of televisions around, so if I was the sort to go out for a beer just to watch the game this might not be a bad destination. However, often when I go out I go out for food... and I'm sorry, that roll was THAT bad. So bad I'm not exaggerating that I can truthfully say it was the worst roll I've ever eaten. While I only had the two items and a beer, I did wonder quite a bit at the menu. Why does everything come with American cheese as the default? That's... pretty much the worst option one could offer. There's a reason why places go out of their way to mention that they use cheddar or Swiss or pepper jack rather than American cheese. read more

Great cheesesteak lots of beers on tap and plenty of TVs Like the outdoor patio ... good sized and pet friendly Can watch almost any sports game read more

Food was typical sports grill food. Wasn't impressed much. What was really lacked was the service. I went on a Saturday nice and we had to request our Waters's 3x for drink refills and the ticket. Food also took a long time to come especially the app. Good place to grab some grub though. read more

I was confronted by an older man (one of the "trivia players") for using the "multi gender" restroom on a Monday. Apparently THEY own the place. He had no problem coming up to me to let me know (in front of everybody) that "the women's room is up front". Really?! ( Um, there are 4 bathrooms 2 men's , 1 women's and 1 gender neutral bathroom) Oh and the owner Karen who was right in front of us ("didn't hear anything") Oh, and by the way the food wasn't so great either. read more

I and two friends, who have been coming to Charann's since the 70's and 80's for the steak sandwich, stopped in for lunch last Friday, Jan. 10th anticipating that great sandwich that has been basically the same since the place opened back on the Courtney Campbell Causeway. Man, what a disappointment.......what a horrible sandwich!!!!!! Meat was flavorless, ordered w/mild pepper which means pepper juice,,,,there was none, and there were big pieces of cooked onion in the meat, which were never a part of the Charann's Steak sandwich!!!!! The waitress, whom we have everytime we go there said new owners had taken over. People have been coming to Charann's for many years for the Steak Sandwich and if the "new owners" don't fix it they'll be out of business. There are a lot of bars around Tampa, the sandwich was the hook. They lost three customers last Friday!!!! read more

My stars are not due to the food, so nobody freak out please. I ordered the chicken philly, and got the steak. No biggie, I was hungry, however, the lighting was so dim, I could barely see my food. Come on, this place is a sports pub, not a romantic candle lit dinner setting. Our server forgot napkins, that's key....the mayo was empty, I'm talking had to literally squeeze the life out of it. The cheese fries were basic, very good, but basic. Last time I was there, they offered chips, no chips. Lol! Our server was trying to be more cool, than efficient. There for the Bucs game, however, there are so many screens going on , if you have ADD, good luck finding what you want to watch and stay focused. The Bucs should have been front & center in my opinion, it wasn't. In fact, whoever controls the remote sucks. read more

Good service. Food was so-so. Place was empty on a Friday night. I don't see a future for them at this point

I used to go for their cheesesteaks it was the best. Now the service is terrible. Even the soda was not good. I was super disappointed.

Horrible salad and chili. Could. Of eat. Rock hard bacon. Rancid chili. Owner told me not to return. No problem. Avoid

customers 2 customers tracking uber pick up and when caught don't speak english funny isn't it read more

The old Charanns used to be on the Causeway and then moved to Hillsboro, nothing fancy but their food was very good, especially known for their cheese steak. I went to visit my son in TNC recently and he mentioned the new Charanns, so we thought we would try it. Nice clean inside, well laid out, service was good. However, food was terrible. We both made the mistake of ordering the cheesesteak, just some cheap white bread with some kind of meat on it. The wings were ok, but we got the bill for the two of us was like $40, not a good deal. What a shame to see what used to be one of the best to go down like this, won't be back. read more

I ordered today for the first time from this place. When I got my food it was cold, (all 3 of our steak sandwiches) the lady told me to put it in the microwave and it will be hot. I am not putting tomatoes and banana peppers in the microwave. No, I am sorry your food was cold, only to say put it in microwave. I have never heard this from a restaurant that wants to keep business. Only excuses. If the bread was on the grill it would not be this cold. I will not be going back to this place. read more
