Good news, bad news. Good news, the food from Charleys Cheesesteaks was good and enjoyed by all. The bad news, we happened to visit at a very busy time (one customer in front of us ordered 48 sandwiches), so the wait was very long, but that was just by chance. This location of Charleys Cheesesteaks is in the L'Enfant Plaza with other options in a foodcourt area. I got a Regular Philly Cheese Steak w/Ultimate Combo (Ultimate fries-cheese, bacon, & ranch), and a drink for $18.34. I also tried on of my friend's lemon pepper chicken wings-that was also very good. Tasty, crisp skin, and juicy meat. read more

Stopped here on our way back from the Spy Museum for an early dinner. I got the old fashion sandwich, steak and cheez Whiz I ordered with out onions. It was really good. My husband got the philly cheesesteak. He said it was good too. I would definitely stop again. read more

Good food. One of the best quick lunch and early dinner options in L'Enfant Plaza. The food tastes great. Service is very quick... typically less than 5 minutes. read more

Well, it depends on who's doing the cooking! There have been times when I got a cheesesteak. It looked like it was made for consumption today. My cheesesteak barely had any meat like they were saving it for themselves and my chicken wings look like wood. read more

Excellent cheesesteaks tucked away in L'Enfant Plaza. We showed up a bit too early and so had to wait, but it was definitely worth it. I got the "steak Philly cheesesteak" (what?). Poor naming scheme aside, it was a great meal. The meat was sliced super thin and was very tender. The rest of the sandwich was filled with toppings like lettuce, pickles, and of course, melted cheese. We also tried the cheese fries, which I probably wouldn't get again (they were really cheesy). But the sandwich is totally worth it. They also have several fruit juices that looked quite nice as well. It's a great place to refuel if you're around L'Enfant! read more

Kudos to the employees dealing with an irate customer yesterday. These folks handled this situation well! Have been at this one several times, as used to be a big fan of this franchise. Am I still? Yes to a degree but more of a good fan now. Their increased prices are understandable, but seems like less meat and vegetables than before. Could I be incorrect? Yes. They do have a wonderful selection. The amount of wing decisions alone is staggering. Decent steak and cheese sub and fries. Best guess is all of their locations are in malls. This one is clean, and the chairs and tables work. If you're in the area it works. read more

it took 20 minutes to get 1 milkshake. 1. while i ate i watched others get their milkshake in 10 seconds. i hate everyone now.

When arriving to enter the Spy museum there was a sign saying that there was food and stores very close by to the museum but not in the same building. So I took a walk to find out what is inside. We walked to the food court which was located down some stairs and most of the stores were still closed because of either Covid or that maybe they weren't open on that day. With the few options, I decided to try out Charleys Philly Steaks. I haven't been here in year's but it was my first time at this location. One of the pluses was that it is fast and quick. Ordered a #7 and jalapeño fries. I enjoyed the jalapeno fries the most. It has a little spice to it and the cheese was also pretty nice. The sandwich itself was alright but I would just say if you are in a rush this is probably the place for you. read more

Tried the new Kentucky Bourbon cheese steak with my Charleys Rewards. It was very good! Lamar was nice to suggest that I try it and I am glad that I did. The service was great and the staff put it together with care and speed. Sorry no picture to share for this review but it was presented just like the picture on the lit up menu board! The place was neat, clean and in order. I am glad I got there early! read more

The food here is good if you want a quick bite to eat. They were quick to make my order as well! It's located inside the shopping mall right in front of the Panda express, so there is a lot of seating. read more

I do prefer the location at Union Station, but this one was also pretty good. The same exact cheesesteak sandwich here was a little pricier than it was at the Union Station location, and it seemed to taste more salty when I had it here, too (just my personal experience and opinion). Other than that, I still thought my cheesesteak sandwich was pretty good! I ordered a proper Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (not a steak and cheese sandwich, as they tend to call it around here sometimes), the way they usually make them in Philadelphia... which is just bread, steak, provolone cheese, onions, and nothing else! That is it, simple as that! Although some people like to add mushrooms or peppers to their Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches in Philadelphia, which is also good. Lastly, seeing a few more drink options here would be great, like some natural and organic soda options. Other than that, all was good. read more

First of all, I'm a big fan of Charlie's Philly cheesesteak's. Unfortunately I've had a couple issues with this location only when certain people are cooking. Today, (3/3/21 @ 12:30pm) all the steak is on one side of the damn sandwich. Most of the mayonnaise is on one side of the sandwich. The pickles are the ones that people don't even eat. Why are they on my sandwich? Pentagon City and Tysons corner location are awesome. Some people don't learn until their job no longer exist because customers stop coming. Yes, I'll go back one day. smh read more

Man my food was good! Delivered hot. I ordered a selection of items and cut everything up and hollered,'smorgasbord' to my family and they came and ate everything. So full and satisfied. My family thanked me smiling then everyone fell asleep on the movie. I will definitely order again. read more

Not a Food Court fan, but the kids didn't want to sit in a restaurant. I had a small Philly cheesesteak which was cooked on the griddle while I waited. The cheese was hot and melted and the bun was toasted, so it was a perfect sandwich. It was served with a side of fries, which were also fresh and hot and were good. I would return as it was a good sandwich. read more

So grateful to find them open on a drizzling Sunday, right by the Spy Museum, as only one other food spot was open at the time and we were starving. Goey cheesy fries loaded with bacon bits, and a cheese steak with lettuce, Mayo and tomatoes hit the spot. Bravo! read more

My first time here as I am trying near eating joints in the L'Enfant area. During lunch time, the staff are pleasant and get you through the order line and pick-up very quickly (impressive). Large selection of cheese steak sandwiches and they do offer alternative chicken and even a turkey option. Standard fixings on the sandwich but they do ask if you want all or some. My order from order to pickup was fast and I have to say that the meal was very good. Generous portion if meat (I went with the standard philly cheesesteak sandwich). Bread for the sandwich was great. Good place for lunch if you need a good sandwich made to your liking in a rapid fashion. read more

Meh. Came here for a bite to eat with my boyfriend when it was extra cold out, we didn't feel like walking elsewhere, and basically everything else in the court was closed. It was about what we expected, which wasn't much. We chose to split the large Chicken California: a chicken philly with provolone and ranch. The cheese was nice and melty, but the bread wasn't nearly crispy enough, we needed more ranch, and the chicken wasn't super flavorful. The lettuce on top was still unpleasantly damp. We also shared an order of "ultimate fries," their fries covered with ranch, bacon bits, and cheese. If they'd covered it with any cheese other than gas station nacho cheese, it would have been pretty good. As it was...the nacho cheese was a little too funky for my preference. Also, it was really expensive for mall food...I get that we had a large sandwich and fancy fries, but it was 18 bucks. Seems high to me, even for D.C. Oh well, it got the job done. Service was pleasant. read more

100% USDA choice steak in a food court, on a steak and cheese sandwich with fresh toppings and friendly smiles, what more can I ask for. The steak was seasoned generously and all of the flavors worked cohesively together to provide a full belly for me at a nice value. You will spend about 14 dollars for a combo/regular size sub but trust me, it will be worth it in the end! read more

Rude service. Food was low in quality. Try Panda. It has to be better. Overall the food court is trashy without a lot of options

Had the Jalapeño Pepper fries and a drink for $4.99. The fries were just average, nothing special. The jalapeños had a little heat but they were good. Topped with nacho cheese, ranch dressing, and jalapeño lime seasoning (salt). read more

Charley's Philly Steaks is a new restaurant that opened in the L'Enfant Plaza a month or so ago. It's apart of the recent renovation of the entire plaza and it really draws a big crowd during lunch time. I ordered the regular size California Chicken Cheese steak, Fries and Strawberry Lemonade combo. The price ended up being $11 and some change. Not a fan of spending that much on my lunch, but I was willing to try it out. The sandwich itself was okay. Pretty flavorful and it actually covered the entire hoagie roll, but it did seem like it was missing something. The fries were pretty lame. No type of flavor whatsoever! The strawberry lemonade was excellent! Pieces of real strawberries are cut up and floating around inside. The staff was very accommodating and didn't mind explaining the menu items to the customers. After you place your order, you wait to the side and when your order comes up the sandwich maker will ask for the toppings you would like on your sandwich. This area can be a bit hectic to wait around for, so make sure you listen for your number to be called because people are huddled up around the glass like cattle. It was an okay experience, but it's not somewhere I would like to eat on a weekly basis. Even if I could, I don't think my wallet will allow me too. read more

Not bad, not excellent, just Charley's. I have eaten at many of these places, which are invariably in food courts in a mall or airport. I ordered a small three cheese and chicken sub (a new special), regular fries and a strawberry lemonade. The sub was good, and it had a reasonable amount of filling for me, although I could see other people saying there is too much bread. However, the lettuce tasted OLD to the point that I just took it all off the sub. The fries are Charley's standard fries--quite bland, honestly. They were fresh, though. I do have to give them props for the strawberry lemonade, which was made well and actually had real strawberry bits in it. In terms of service, the guy who took my order and made my sandwich was pretty friendly. This was a slow day (Saturday), so I didn't have to fight the usual throng of people at L'Enfant Plaza. All in all, not bad. Charley's won't be my first stop of I'm looking for lunch at L'Enfant, but it's not my last choice, either. read more

I was dissapointed in the ultimate fries I needed it to be delivered but did not expect them to be so skimpy on the fries I don't believe I got what I paid for as far as that goes delivery should not imply deceit I should be happy with my meal in all aspects the Sandwich itself was very appetizing but could be allowed more bacon at that price when adding extras I feel like I got nothing extra from all the adds ons I paid for read more

It's food court mall type food. Service was pretty fast and the workers were kind. It is in a food court - don't expect greatness. read more

Located inside the L'Enfant Plaza, Charley's Philly Steaks offers several options. Start with what you like and then add or subtract ingredients. They offer a combo meal that includes fries and a drink. The lemonades are delicious. I got the peach lemonade and they actually grind peach into the drink (watch out for chunks of fruit coming up the straw)! I ate here once for dinner and once for lunch. The lunch time crowd did not change the way they cooked the meals. It was delicious both times and the wait time was minimal. I special ordered both times and it came out right both times! read more

I went into the Food Court at Union Station during lunch hour today. The plan was to go to the Subway at the far end for a sandwich, drink, Doritos, and maybe a chocolate chip cookie. But then I chanced upon Charley's Philly Steaks. WHAT A SURPRISE!!! I gave the overhead menu a look-see and thought: Why not? (Hasta la vista, Subway.) The gentleman who took my order for a cheesecake, fries, and regular sized Strawberry Lemonade was very courteous. I didn't have to wait long. Maybe a little more than 5 minutes. I hurried back to the office, where I ate my lunch. The steak sandwich hit the spot. DELICIOUS. The fries were average. Nothing exceptional, but not awful, either. I especially enjoyed the Strawberry Lemonade. YUMMY!!! (I'm very partial to sweet drinks and that Strawberry Lemonade was perfect.) I will be back at Charley's when the hunger bug strikes me again. read more

Best customer service ever! They workers there are always friendly and make sure my orders are made to perfection! Unlike other Charley's I've been too this location doesn't take any shortcuts and my food is always great! The young man Aaron is very friendly every time he greets me at the register and isn't ever afraid to give his honest opinion on making suggestions. I'm truly glad this location was able to survive at L'Enfant Plaza because they truly are the best Charley's team in the entire DMV area and I couldn't ask for a better group of individuals who works there! read more

Tasty, very tasty, but a bit pricey. Maybe everything in DC is pricey? The sandwich had really good flavor. The downside is the location, in a food court. Still a good choice. It's not Philly, but it's still good. read more

I really enjoyed my cheesesteak sandwich & fries. Everything was hot, and the fries were crispy just the way I like them. To top it off it was fast. I will definitely be back. read more

Regular size (essentially the medium) cheese steak was pretty light on the fillings. You may be asking yourself, "where's the beef?" Tasted alright but nothing to write home about. The fries were soggy and flavorless. read more

If you've been to any other Charley's, you'll know what to expect. Prices are high for a food court restaurant, especially when you tack on DC's 10% tax, but the food was pretty good. They were moving people through the checkout fairly fast for the lunch rush, but the folks on the grill were getting confused. The customer in front of me was lactose intolerant, and he had to tell them twice to remake his sandwich because they kept putting cheese on it. For my order, they gave me the wrong kind of fries. They were quick to fix their mistakes without complaint, and I'd chalk it up to not having been open that long. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! I used to like this place until their servers were so extremely rude to me: forgetting my order, then getting the order wrong, and finally when I got frustrated for waiting so long and seeing people behind me getting their orders before me, they basically mocked me and told me to "calm down." I wasn't being loud or doing anything ridiculous -- I just wanted my food. I could see all of the guys talking crap and I've vowed to never go back. read more

Would have given more stars but they skimp on the meat and veggies. 9 for a skinny loaf with very little fillings. They do cook it properly and the flavor is good. Oh and I saw them take someone else"s messed up fry order and reuse them to my order, even though cashier told the guy to throw out. read more

I went to the branch @Pentagon Mall City for a strawberry lemonade drink. I politely asked if they can double cup my order since they didn't have any sleeve for my drink. They (associate and manager) asked me to pay for the price of a full drink for an empty cup. First and last time I will go there. Starbucks is right closed to it! read more

Love the Philly Steak. If they sold pretzels I would feel like I'm in Philadelphia. :)
