    Prime Rib

    Service was absolutely terrible, pathetic. We two went last night around 4:30 pm waitress took our order and didn't receive our main course until around 5:57:02 pm the waitress never checked back with us while all around us everyone else got their food and left - some who even came in after us. We have been going there on occasion but not as our first choice since they opened in 1970. Waitress and management issued major unabashed excuses and said our orders had been moved to back of line and they were busy and not their duty to check on our orders. As a server they should check. They obviously could see that no dinner plates were on our table yet had two take our salad plates away 2x as we were starved as they brought the next tables order and their bill. The food has always run hot and cold there. Sometimes good and bad. One filet was undercooked. We did not order cheap meals. All management offered in a nasty response was two desserts. It wasn't our fault, it was theirs. The table next to us said they would have been upset also. Don't keep your expectations high, expect mediocre at high prices and lousy service.

    NY Strip and Steamed Brocolli

    A classic steakhouse best known for its salad bar that has staff keeping up with it. Has all the pieces to make a salad plus marinated mushrooms, tuna mac and bread. The dining area is quite large and we were able to snag a corner area with our toddler. The staff was really great and did what they could to get our food out and ready so our guy wasn't sitting for too long. I had the NY strip which was cooked just as I requested and the steamed brocolli had good seasoning (not just salt and pepper). The kids burger is very large! We had plenty of leftovers to bring home for our son. My husband got the surf and turf with the beef kabob which looked amazing. The lobster tail was large! We had plenty of leftovers across the board and got a key lime pie to go for dessert. The filling was creamy and light!

    I would absolutely not go here again.. this place needs it all.. an updating .. and actually salad bar.. the one that the are known for... sucks.. but where you really lost me was the service. My server was absolutely the worst server I've ever had.. her name starts with a ..N and should find a way different line of work.. stay in school or go back.. and now the food.. if the service didn't suck so bad I could probably get over the mediocre food.. but do to such crappy service it only highlighted the lackluster food.. I honestly woulda had better service and food at any drive through.

    Dinner last night with the Family! My wife, daughter and her Fiancé. We arrived at about 6:15 and were seated immediately. Our waiter Joe greeted us and to our drink order. We then proceeded to the salad bar. Excellent selection of fixings. Joe was very attentive, and took our entree order! The restaurant was very busy. The food was cooked to perfection! I highly recommend Chuck's for a good dinner!

    Buffalo shrimp appetizer

    Decided to try Chucks after driving by it for years- what took us so long?! It happened to be an unusually busy night but the whole staff hustled and worked together- we noticed how hard you all work!! Buffalo shrimp. Amazinggggg- would go back here just for that and a cocktail anyday. We also got the salmon, killer tuna dish, and the ribs- holy cow those ribs were HUGE and fall off the bone. The carnivore in our group loved it. Great wine and extensive beer selection too. Cannot wait to go back and try more dishes!

    Salad bar - fresh!
    Mark N.

    We had an excellent meal, terrific service and awesome value! Here's our secret - we arrived Friday at 4:00 right when they opened. Was seated and greeted by our server quickly. We both ordered the bistro steak and salad bar from the early bird menu ($18.50 + $4.50) plus we added a side of sautéed mushrooms (huge portion see pic) and one of teriyaki to share. The salad bar was fresh, clean and well stocked. Lettuce looked great no wilting at all. Fresh bread, pasta salad and a few other neat things there. My fiancé took bacon and shredded cheese for her baked potato and they had awesome marinated mushrooms. The staff hovered over salad bar and bread area while we were there cleaning it regularly (bravo!). Our bistro steaks were excellent! So tender and served sliced 75% way thru like a London broil but it's a shoulder cut. With the sautéed mushrooms it was a bullseye! It's served with a nice garlic butter sauce so the teriyaki we ordered wasn't really needed. Mashed were excellent with a little bit of seasoning and skins in a super nicely whipped mound. Overall, we really enjoyed our early meal and this is one of the he few places that still have a salad bar. We will definitely be back for that alone. I'll add that when we checked in on Yelp app a 10% discount coupon appeared but it said not valid with happy hour and other discounts so we didn't try to present it. But you can!

    Absolutely divine…read more It has been so long since I've been able to have a crab cake that's gluten free, but at The Charles, their crab cakes are gluten free and lovely. But first, walking into The Charles is a step back into time yet still fresh and intentional. Plenty to look at all around the restaurant. The layout of even the bar is nice with seats by the windows and plenty of TVs playing the games without being disruptive. The building is gorgeous, well kept, and I can see how this restaurant gets packed quickly! But back to the gluten free crab cake. I would have loved some slightly larger chunks of crab, it was the crispy texture on the outside and soft inside that made my heart melt. The cakes sat lightly on an aioli and beside some greens, and each bit was delectable and delicious. Lovely appetizer. I also have the octopus basquaise, and I loved it. The potatoes needed just a smidge more seasoning and were sitting in oil, but I cared not, because it was an oil with Kalamata olives and tart, and how lovely it all was together. The octopus was nicely cooked and tender and not greasy. The potatoes were a lovely vessel, and the aioli was not too overpowering. A delicious fish overall. The service was great, friendly, and you can tell they love their regulars. Everyone was on the move at all times and overall very efficient and kind. Tons of gluten free dishes naturally. I loved coming to The Charles and look forward to coming back later this week to try their actual dishes. But if the entrees are even close to as good as the appetizers, I'm sure it will all be delicious!

My happy hour dirty martini with a house potato vodka was better than I expected. I ordered pasta with vodka sauce and my husband had pasta Bolognese. Mine was very good. My husband enjoyed his meal. The restaurant was fairly empty at the time we were there. I walked around, it has a steak house feel. Dark, tasteful, a nice wooden ceiling, slightly stuffy vibe, plenty of wine and bottles on display. Now for the nitpicking. For an upscale restaurant, they don't pay attention to visual details. ( within eye-shot) In the corner walking from the bar to the lobby are a bunch wires going up the wall. It looks spastic and messy. There is a closet behind the bar that has a light in it about as bright as the sun. Left open, or even cracked completely throws off ambiance. There is a lot of clutter behind the counter of the bar which might be functional, it also looks messy. I didn't get a chance to check out the ladies room. I overheard they may have a change in the menu. My food was enjoyable, so I may venture in again. My disapproval of the clutter shouldn't prevent you from trying.

I was in the building to visit another restaurant that does not take reservations, but the wait was too long so I stopped by red Fox prime steakhouse for happy hour. I was served an excellent martini by the bartender Missy, but did not find any happy hour food that interested me that evening. She was quick to point out that they also had a bar menu and I decided to try the chickenParmesan small plate. Priced at only $10. This might be the best bargain in town. A rather generous portion of chicken served with spaghetti mix for a lovely meal. Specially when you add one of the delicious salads or apps. Recommend the meatballs and the roasted beet salad. I have only sat in the bar area, so I cannot comment on the restaurant ambience, but where I did sit was both comfortable occasionally quite lively. I am impressed with the food in the service and will have to stop in the steakhouse and actually have a steak which will perhaps earn that five star review.

When I arrived I was told it would be a 45 minute wait. Basically my reservation was useless. The 2 greeters made no attempt to address this whatsoever and didn't care at all. We decided to wait at the bar 2. The bar was not crowded with a couple of bartenders. We placed our order. The bartender looked like she didn't know what she was doing and greeted us with about as little enthusiasm and happiness as possible. (Maybe she was having a bad day). She didn't seem to know how to mix two drinks; a manhattan and a Negroni. She couldn't answer our question about what gin she had at the bar and just told us to ' look' as she pointed behind her. Then it took about 10 minutes for three drinks to arrive; the poorly made Negroni, a Coors light in the bottle (she never asked if I wanted a glass), the wrong glass of white wine that she had to redo with the correct one, then after 5 more minutes the manhattan arrived, also made poorly. She didn't charge us for that drink due to the delay saying she had to wait to get the vermouth. That's an odd excuse from a bartender. I've been a paid bartender, I know what to expect and she was just horrible. I'm sorry but that's a plain fact. If she worked for me I would have fired her on the spot and took over myself. 3. By this time, about 7:50, we were seated at an outside table. The crowd was dying down but our waitress was less than attentive and certainly not prompt. We have dietary allergies that she promptly noted but did nothing about as she said she would check wth the kitchen about of couple of possible choices we had interest in, but never came back to give us the answer. Now being quite impatient, we ordered anyway based on the menu description. One appetizer could not be eaten because of the allergy. We asked for the wine list, that never arrived, and it was 10 minutes until she came back to the table, but we ordered without it. The waitress seemed like she could care less about how we were doing or how she was performing her job. After dinner, ironically, the manager stopped by to ask how everything was, but we quickly said things were OK only because it would have taken too much time to make note of everything that had gone wrong. By now it was after 9 and my reservation was at 7. We had to leave. Suffice it to say, we won't be back. A sad overall experience indeed. I don't expect this restaurant and or management will be around for long as I have no reason to believe we were the only party to endure this horrible dining experience.
