    GRILLED CHICKEN & AVOCADO CLUB
    Nicole C.

    I Finally joined my coworkers for lunch at Charleston's on Dodge and I totally get why they always want to go here now. This was my first time, and it was a great experience. I went with the **Grilled Chicken & Avocado Club** (pretty sure that's the chicken club I ordered), and wow - the portions are massive! It came loaded with blackened chicken, avocado, bacon, tomato, sprouts, Swiss cheese, and honey-mustard on a toasted bun, plus a generous side of fries. The sandwich was so big and filling that I could only eat half - perfect for leftovers later. The food was solid and tasty, everything felt fresh, and the fries were crispy. Service stood out too: our server was super friendly, checked in regularly without hovering, and kept things moving smoothly during a busy lunch rush. Nice atmosphere for a work lunch - casual but polished. No wonder my coworkers come here all the time. Definitely coming back! Recommended for anyone looking for hearty American classics in Omaha.

    Nice relaxing atmosphere to dine. Lovely date night spot. Very well cared for by many of the staff from the hostess to the evening manager clearing our dishes. Miguel was informative and attentive. Tho Mecican isn't their specialty the Enchilada plate was good. Flat bread pizza was a bit doughy and hard to hold as finger food. But tasty and seasoned well. Good presentation. Nice light chips for salsa and Queso. An enjoyable evening overall

    This restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Our server, Curtis, was great -- he was timely with taking our order and refilling water glasses while also giving helpful information about the menu. Most importantly, the food was totally delicious. My wife had the Prime Rib Special which included a fully-loaded baked potato and Caesar salad. All were prepared perfectly! I had the Chicken Fried Chicken which came with smashed potatoes and sweet glazed carrots. Each of the flavors as well as the presentation were top notch! Both of us would definitely order those same items again. I highly recommend Charleston's -- it was a special night out.

    We had lunch here today as we waited for our power to come back on! Charleston's has been on point our past few times here, today was no different. Our waitress, Megan/Meghan was extremely personable and patient. She answered all of our questions and provided excellent service. Our food was fresh and delicious! The restaurant was quiet; however, a group of 3 ladies were seated directly behind outr table and theu were loud. I asked if we could move and they accommodated our request without it being an issue. We will be back...soon!

    Another great meal here today. First time trying the dynamite shrimp salad. I'll get again. Service was great too. Big fan of this place.

    Charleston's is a semi-fancy eatery, that is pretty upscale feeling, but can still be a place you can stop in for dinner (usually without a reservation). The interior is classy, with black and white art, and black booths with mahogany wood. It has a vaguely nautical theme, with a little penguin statue in the corner and a model of the RMS Titanic, etc. The service has always been excellent - our server last time we went was Alexis, and she was great with refills, recommendations, and checking on us just enough throughout the meal. We started with the Caesar Salad and it's gigantic (my husband and I shared it). It was perfectly dressed with the Caesar dressing and parmesan cheese to create amazing combinations with each bite. We also had their dinner rolls, which are semi-sweet. Not the level of sweetness as the Texas Roadhouse rolls, but a touch under that. They were served warm with really creamy butter. I almost always get the Fish and Chips, which are extra flaky, and they pair amazingly with the tartar sauce. Another thing I love to get once in a while is the Chicken Piccata - so tasty and tangy. My favorite side to get is the creamed corn. It's not super creamy like other creamed corns I've had but it has a nice little cream at the bottom, so you just need to mix up to get it all creamed together. Always check out their daly specials too. We had the steak tips special last time we went, that came in a wine reduction that was so rich and delicious. With the upscale ambiance, amazing service, and enjoyable food, Charleston's is great place for a date night, business lunch, or just a good dinner option any time.

    I've been to Charleston's out west dozens of times, but this was my first time at their dodge location. Overall, my friend and I had a great experience, coming at 7:30 on a weeknight. It was pretty slow. Our server was good, mentioned a couple times that he was bored and that's why he was checking on us. Not in a bad way, he was just having fun, and provided great service! I got the salad that I get every single time, and it tasted amazing! I do feel it was a bit smaller than the ones I have had out west. Unfortunately, there were no dates on my salad, so this must have been forgotten in the kitchen. All in all, I would go to the West location over this one again. The staff was very friendly, and overall it was a good experience, but I have always gotten a very consistent result in the size and taste of the salad I get every time out West.

    The food is always great here. I've never had a bad meal. Their house vinaigrette is to die for. And those flaky honey croissants... I always order extra! I tried a margarita for the first time here and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The addition of a green olive to the margarita it was a game changer.

    Love Charlestons so much. Good taste fresh and delicious. I got the steak, mashed potatoes and creamed corn. My husband says the corn could have more cream but I thought it was good. It's also freshly cut from the cob and bought from Nebraska so you know it's good corn. Our waitress was also really great! The atmosphere in this new location was perfect. Obviously people are loud at restaurants but the space feels more spacious then their location they had before. It feel similar but new and fresh.

    Everything was just okay. Service was a bit on the slower side even though it was not busy. They were very nice and pleasant. Flatbread was delicious. I would've gotten a whole flatbread just for myself if I knew it was going to be that good. Drinks didn't receive great comments at the table. A member of the party came here yesterday and raved about the cocktails and food but found out it was a different bartender today so the drinks were different. Overall: rave reviews about the queso, flatbread, and pork chop

They definitely have/had some pretty high prices compared to other eateries in the area. I'm not sure if that is caused by cost of goods or location or what, but I think that did come into play when a lot of economic hardship is happening all over. Like I mentioned above, I DID like their food, but it definitely had to be a special occasion type of thing, due to the high prices. When we did go, I LOVED the Maryland Crab Dip. It reminded me of my favorite crab dip in the world, at the SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta. We also had the Green Bean Almandine that was on special last time we went and that was pretty good, but you have to be a green bean fan, for sure. I decided to try the sushi as my main dish last time, and had the Everything Crunch Maki, which consisted of cooked salmon, jalapeño, and cream cheese. It was pretty good, and had a little hint of spice to it from the jalapeño, which cut the heavy cream aspect. My husband had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon for his entree, and gave me a few bites. It was cooked well and the mushroom risotto below it was very flavorful and filling. The cute nautical ambiance and excellent service were always appreciated, so no complaints there either. I think if they had been in a different area with less expensive rent and cost of goods, I may have visited more often.

I will say the Caesar salad with chicken I ordered was probably the best Caesar I've ever had (and I'm a big Caesar fan, so it has to be just right). The mahi mahi tacos were so delicious, the sauce, the flakiness everything about them were devoured. Lastly loved their happy hour options, were tried the calamari and hush puppies(the sauce with these were sooo good and spicy!) The whole place had a welcoming vibe, and made you feel like you were stepping somewhere on the coast side! Which is nice for the Midwest haha. Well done plank provisions!

Most of the highlight was the various types of burgers and fries they had, so my partner and I got two kinds, and we both enjoyed our respective meals. I had the block burger, which was as good as I imagined it to be, with juicy patty cooked to medium and every ingredient needed to make a good burger. The poutine had a lot of beef gravy and cheese curds, which made the dish a comprehensive experience to consume, rather than just fries. The duck duck goose fries were amazing! The duck confit, cheese curds, mayo, gravy, and gooseberry gastrique combination worked super well on top of the fries, because they altogether basically made it a gourmet dish that I had to eat with a fork. Finally, the sloppy nick was seasoned very well, even if we got the vegan version, which used impossible meat instead of ground beef. It was still really great! Hope everyone who visits Omaha gets to try this spot! Their wall has quite a few articles that recognized them as a locally renowned burger joint, and I could see why.
