    Went to Charleston's on a Wednesday night and sat out on the patio. honestly a great choice for a low-key evening. It's a really comfortable setup, nice and relaxed without being too busy or too quiet. Food was solid as always. It's one of those places where you kind of know what you're going to get, in a good way. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and just easy to enjoy. Service was good too attentive but not over the top, which fit the vibe of the night. Overall, it's a great midweek spot if you're looking for something reliable with a nice patio to unwind a bit.

    The food is always fresh and hot and is well prepared. The service has been spot on since they opened and we have come here for many years, the ambiance is always warm and inviting and clean. Never once have we had an issue . 5 stars!

    Charleston's is a great restaurant with such a classic menu. Everything is delicious and the service is always wonderful. Their appetizers, entrees and desserts are exceptional. The restaurant is far more relaxed than most.

    Met a friend here for dinner. I ordered a house salad for starters which was delicious and decided upon shrimp scampi for my entree. My meal was delicious but the server left more to be desired. She seemed abrupt and uninterested in asking or even answering questions that my friend had about dessert. Although this was my first time trying Charleston's, I'd return despite the service received from the server.

    The place was busy, but we didn't have to wait long--about 10 minutes. We started the night with a blackberry mule and chips and queso, which were a nice way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken fried steak. The meat was a bit tough, but the gravy was very tasty and helped make up for it. The mashed potatoes were satisfying, and the fried okra was enjoyable as well. My husband also ordered the chicken fried steak, and the coleslaw on the side stood out as fresh and flavorful. Service was excellent, and the place itself felt warm and cozy.

    We selected Charleston's as a place to try for dinner that would be new to us. We were a party of 5 adults and 2 children on a Saturday night arriving around 6:45. We had about a 30 minute wait for a table which wasn't bad on a very busy night. We were fortunate to have a pleasant, friendly server. All of the staff we interacted with were providing excellent service. The dining room is really pretty. At our table we pretty much went to the Specialties portion of the menu. We had meatloaf, grilled pork chops, Parmesan chicken, chicken piccata and ribs. Everything was superb. The sweet tea was delicious, as it should be in a restaurant named Charleston. For dessert my sister had the carrot cake and she said it was wonderful. Food and service were top notch and we look forward to dining here again.

    Back in this place once again! I promise this place is a staple in Fort Worth. I'll never get tired of dining here! I met a few friends for lunch and we were greeted by the cutest server, Micaela. I'm sure she's new because I'd never seen her before. She was vibrant and engaged with us wonderfully. We placed our drink order and a spinach artichoke dip to share. If you haven't tried this it's a must and one of the best around town! Today I decided to try something different as I feel like I've enjoyed the entire menu. I went with the blackened redfish tacos. It came paired with cilantro rice and black beans. Man...what a treat! It was very filling and tasty. The mixture of garlic aioli and coleslaw with the redfish was so pleasing to my palate! A slight crunch yet soft and tender. It was so good y'all. It came with two tacos but I could barely finish one. I saved the other for later and it kept well and was just as good hours later. I'm sure I'll try this dish again. No dessert on this visit since I'm attempting to eat within my macros but please be advised the key lime pie is top notch! Or the bread pudding or pineapple upside down cake. Just depends on the day of the week as to what they have. They always have key lime pie fyi. Get yourself here fast! It's never a bad visit. Great for date night or hanging with friends. The atmosphere is just right for either.

    This is a great casual dinner/lunch place for any occasion. We get something different just about every time we come here. They have amazing salads, a great chicken club sandwich, and the prime rib is hands down the best thing you can get when they have it (but they don't always). They have a great selection of cocktails/martinis & I love how many ice crystals they leave in the drinks. There is plenty of parking in front and around the building. The establishment is nice and the waiters are attentive. The restaurant can be loud at times when it's busy. My fiancé was a little thrown off by the waiter who asked for my ID & not his... but that's the only complaint lol.

    Wow, it was really busy for lunch on a Friday. Service was really good, the servers were very nice and attentive. Ambiance is nice, perfect for business lunches or a nice date night, depending on the time of day. The food was really good. I really enjoyed the chicken fried chicken with the glazed carrots and the loaded smashed potatoes were also very good. The chips and queso were delicious, and had a scoop of guacamole in it, and the salsa was good as well. I can't find any bad things to say about my time here! I'll definitely be back!

Dinner for three with tip $85. It just wasn't very good. Def won't go back by choice. Also, half of the booths have chairs that are higher than the booth benches, so everyone sets uneven across from each other. Weird.

I'm sure she was busy, but a check-in or two would have been nice to avoid having to flag her down from across the room to get refills or jam. The restaurant itself was pretty clean with a nice waiting area outside, but the restrooms needed a little attention. I would visit again, but First Watch wouldn't be my first choice. It just felt too rushed and inhospitable compared to other brunch places in the area.

The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy.
