    I was the one to choose a place for dinner for the family! I chose Charleston's because of the decor, the building, and location. The food was amazing! Everything we ordered was perfect. The only issue was my Tito's Dirty Martini. Tasted very strange. I ordered a second one thinking it was a mistake on their part on the first one. Well it was the same. Nasty. The service was impeccable! Noah was great and served us to perfection.

    My husband and I tried Charleston's for the first time back in October 2025 and it has become a place we visit frequently now. Every couple of months, planned or impromptu, we dine in or get takeout from here. The food is consistently full of flavor, the customer service is great and I love the atmosphere; always a mixed crowd just out for a good time. I don't know if there's a limit on how many times I can leave a great review for them, but I'll just have to find out because I'm taking pics and posting every time!!!

    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.

    We went to this restaurant I didn't know before, and honestly, the food was delicious. The service was very warm, and the drinks were really good.

The appetizers were outstanding. From the chips and queso to the wings, and especially the crab rangoon mozzarella sticks (a must-try), everything was excellent. Based on that start, we expected the entrees to be just as impressive. For half of our table, they were. Unfortunately, my son's steak was poorly seasoned and cooked to the wrong temperature. He chose not to send it back because we had already experienced significant delays. I, for example, waited far too long for my steak salad to arrive. When it finally did, it was missing nearly every ingredient except the lettuce, steak, and a single sliced cherry tomato. By the time the kitchen was remaking my salad, the rest of my family was already halfway through their meals. Our waitress continued checking on us and seemed genuinely concerned, but the issue clearly wasn't being prioritized in the kitchen. After my husband asked to speak with a manager, my salad arrived within five more minutes. The manager approached with a lengthy series of apologies but didn't really give us an opportunity to explain the situation. The most frustrating part? The salad was still missing two ingredients. When I pointed that out, he initially pushed back, insisting it wasn't possible because the chef had personally prepared it. At that point, my family had finished eating, so I packed the salad to go. Was the salad worth the wait? Surprisingly, yes. Once it was finally assembled correctly, it was very good. What still puzzles me is that the dish requiring the least amount of cooking at our table was the one that took the longest to prepare correctly. Would I return or recommend it to others? Yes, but with reservations. The food has a lot of potential, and the appetizers alone are worth trying. However, the kitchen's execution and the manager's handling of the situation left plenty of room for improvement.

My family ordered salads, some pancakes, a club sandwich, and I went bold with the million dollar breakfast sandwich (I too deserve nice things). Everyone else's food came out together... mine did not. Apparently my sandwich decided to take the scenic route. Our waitress didn't seem to notice or care that I was just sitting there without a plate. When I asked the runners about my plate, they said they'd let our server know since it wasn't on their ticket. That's okay, I get it. It happens! We all forget a thing or two. So I waited til I could locate our server to ask her if she entered it. It took our server a solid 15 minutes to make her way back to us, at which point I asked her for the sandwich I'd ordered a while ago. She did not seem moved by my plight and wandered off to, presumably, locate it. Another 10 minutes later, my sandwich arrived like a conquering hero around 25 minutes after everyone else had basically finished eating. Was it good? Yes. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely not, it was just a breakfast sandwich. It would've been great if it had just shown up with everyone else's food like a normal menu item. The restaurant didn't seem busy, so I don't know what happened. Regardless the food was solid. The service could use some tweaking. Probably will be back, I won't let one bad day ruin my experience.

Went for the biscuits, but our very wise waitress, Adriana, warned us that the biscuits were made with lard. Well that knocked out a bunch or breakfast options. She was so sweet and actually went to the kitchen and marked the menu pointing out lard-free menu choices. On the menu. Using black ink dots. Above and beyond. So we regrouped our breakfast plans and went mainly vegetarian. The Herbivore was absolutely delicious! Antebellum cheese grits topped with garlicky kale, romanesco and a soft boiled egg. We added a second egg. Split with my hubby. So good!! My sister-in-law had the brioche French toast. French toast topped with honey better, fresh berries and pecan granola. Served with maple syrup. Amazing! Added the duck fat breakfast potatoes. Who knew that the flavor would be so enhanced with the onions, peppers and duck fat. Get this side!

We started with the biscuits and cinnamon roll. I would recommend both. The biscuits came with a jam, honey and whipped butter. The cinnamon roll, which may look a bit underwhelming had a such a great crispy texture on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. 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. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.
