    Friend's CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN
    Christie H.

    Has a huge group meeting here. The service was excellent. I ordered a side salad, okra, and vegetable medley (I'm a vegetarian.) The okra was good, the side salad with honey lime vinaigrette was just okay but the dressing itself was delicious. The salad was just lettuce, one tomato, and croutons. The veg medley was literally boiled vegetables without a single additive. No salt, butter, nothing. I'd definitely pass on those. It was quite expensive and I'm not sure my three sides warranted a $26 total. That said, the atmosphere and service were great. If I were a meat eater this may have been a better experience but with what I ordered, I wasn't impressed. (My friends mostly loved their food. I just didn't have the best experience.)

    Reuben Sandwich + Fries. $12.00.

    I like Charleston's. I really do. The food is good. But the prices are... certainly a choice... I feel like they're high for what it is. Like, $19-21 for a salad, or ~$50ish for a two people to have a quick lunch is wild. But then I look at everyone sitting around me and the NIMBY prices make sense. Not the staff. The patrons. It's giving... country club with plantation shutters.

    It's not often I come to Charleston's, it's not because I don't like it but it's hard to get in my restaurant rotation. Last time dining here was 2023. This was always a work favorite to host a vendor luncheon or to have just a get together with coworkers. Needless to say I've dined here many many times. I've tried everyone of their salads and numerous entrees. I've never had a bad experience. However, I do not have an overall favorite. Today's option was to choose a sandwich. Earlier in the week I had a Reuben up in Tulsa and I was left unsatisfied. So time for a do over! This Reuben was much better than the earlier version I had. I love the fact that the dressing comes on the side and you can add or dip add you go. Plenty of sauerkraut and pastrami. I would have preferred the pastrami to be sliced much thinner but that's my personal preference. The Creamy Coleslaw was a nice addition. It was cold and fresh and paired well with the sandwich. The one thing I dislike is the noisy atmosphere. I get it there is nothing that can be done about that so just have to deal with it. It's hard to converse if it's a large group. Big shout to the servers!!! Dillon was our main server and I think he did a tremendous job with our table of nine! Those who assisted him were just as great as they quickly removed the plates from the meal. I will say that you can't go wrong if you're wanting to grab a good meal at lunch either with friends or business associates!

    GRILLED CHICKEN & AVOCADO CLUB

    I love coming to this place. The food is always good and the service goes above and beyond. I normally always get a spinach artichoke dip to start. It's worth it! I tried a the grilled chicken club today. It was very delicious and flavor. The fries were crispy and salty too. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming.

    Excellent Charleston's located off of Memorial - delicious food, amazing service and very stylish interior decor. Definitely recommended!

    Chicken sandwich
    Ashley V.

    Heartbroken to find they've gotten rid of the Chicken Fried Steak. Definitely my all time favorite meal at Charleston's. Came in for a nice family dinner. We usually always start our meal off with spinach artichoke dip which is always tasty. I ordered the chicken fried chicken which has replaced the chicken fried steak and it was very thin chicken, more batter than anything. We enjoyed the complimentary bread (odd, because I've been to Charlestons over 20 times and I've never been offered this? It's a secret apparently.) classic sides for me are the glazed carrots and mashed potatoes, can't go wrong with these.

    Martini with blue cheese olives

    Waitlist heads up: We showed up after putting our name on waitlist through yelp and they said they don't use that waitlist . We were then put on another list. It would be helpful to remove this option from Yelp profile if this location doesn't use it. Shayla was our server and she was spectacular. I'm not just saying that, she was literally predicting our needs before we could even verbalize them. She also explained each menu item in detail with expert recommendations. The ambience was warm but energized with low lighting and lots of patrons. The food was on par with the above rating!

    Must try: T-Bone Steak and a Double Deuce Beer!…read more Why: I've been craving steak for a few weeks and when I arrived at OKC a few people recommended Cattlemen's. Ordered a medium rare steak and it was juicy and tender. It was also a large steak. Meal came with a house salad, baked potato, bread and a roll. I was also going to order Lamb Fries as an appetizer, but the waitress was able to let me try one piece on the house - great service! It would have been way too much food for one person. I washed it all down with their refreshing Double Deuce Beer. Everything was flavorful and satisfying - the steak hit the spot for me. Notes: It was a quick drive from downtown. Right when I walked in I was welcomed by hostesses and seated immediately. Everyone was warm and friendly. Def felt historic and legendary inside with their table booths, photos, and decor. A great hearty meal for my last night in OKC!

The breakfast options and classic cuts are solid, and you can really feel the tradition in the place. My only real gripe was that my lunch steak came out medium-well when I asked for medium-rare, and it took a bit of flagging someone down to grab A.1. and refill my water since they were slamming through a big rush. Even with the temp being a little off, the flavor was still good and the friendly charm kept the visit really pleasant. The historic, nostalgic charm and the genuinely friendly hospitality are what make this iconic spot so enjoyable. The lamb fries were fried to a perfect golden crisp, the breakfast menu is legendary for a reason, and the whole restaurant carries that authentic western heritage vibe that is super hard to find these days. On top of that, the servers treat you like family from the moment you sit down.

We. normally are able to sit on the west end of the bar, but last night, they were packed, but we snagged the last two seats, dead center of the bar. We started with drinks.

It was fruity and neither one of us liked it. The dirty martini was excellent. We then ordered the dynamite shrimp ($19) as a starter. It comes tossed in a bowl with sweet chili and Sriracha.

The service was phenomenal and our server knew about all the Dorcher's we asked about and had great recommendations.

The fish had crispy skin and was moist, flaky, and well seasoned. The broad bean mixture served with it was equally delicious. The hubby had Honey Roasted Lavender Chicken which he declared to be one of the best chicken dishes he's ever had. He even raved over the vegetables that came with it.

    Redrock Canyon Grill - Lake Hefner…read more First visit--and I can confidently say this place just earned a spot in our regular date night rotation. We walked in to a packed house, which is always a good sign, but were seated immediately. From there, the experience never missed a beat. Beverly took care of us and was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged. You can tell when someone enjoys what they do, and it shows. We started with margaritas, and when Beverly said they were "perfect," she wasn't overselling it. Smooth, well-balanced, and served ice cold. We're both olive fans, so of course we asked for extras--and they delivered without hesitation. Going in, we made a deal: appetizers or dessert--not both. After hearing about the pineapple upside-down cake with vanilla ice cream, that decision was made pretty quickly. For the main course, Beverly walked us through the menu and the weekly specials: * Rainbow trout with roasted peppers and cucumber salad * 14 oz peppercorn crusted steak with mashed potatoes, broccoli & parmesan I know my wife--steak was the obvious choice for her. I went with the trout. Both dishes were excellent. The trout was cooked perfectly with a light, flavorful sauce that didn't overpower the fish, and the vegetables were fresh and well-prepared. The steak was cooked just right, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes and broccoli finished with parmesan. What really elevated the night was the hospitality. Kirsten, the manager, stopped by to check on us and took the time to have a genuine conversation. She shared details about patio seating and upcoming live music nights, which we're already planning to come back for. Then came a surprise--she graciously covered our dessert. A classy move that didn't go unnoticed. And that pineapple upside-down cake? Warm, soft, topped with melting vanilla ice cream... absolutely worth skipping the appetizers for. The Bottom Line: Great food, exceptional service, and a relaxed but polished atmosphere right on Lake Hefner. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, this is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend for a date night or a nice evening out.
