6. Charley's Steak House

Mr.
I had eaten at Charleys on I-drive on 2 prior business trips to Orlando and had excellent meals. However, the 3rd trip this past week was disastrous. I had planned to get my usual, the small Filet, but was talked into trying the evenings special, a Kobe Steak. Having never had Kobe beef, I thought I'd give it a try. I did have some reservations though, as the price tag was HIGH - $69. It had better be good. Well, it was the most blase steak I've ever had. 50% of it was inedible and the rest was no better than something you'd find at Denny's. I was thoroughly disgusted. As you can imagine, the value I received was nowhere near the price I paid. I doubt I will return. I returned to my home city of Albuquerque and purchased a Kobe beef hamburger, claimed to be the best burger in ABQ, and, at $12, it was. It is to bad that you can't leave feedback directly with the restaurant. I'm sure if I call them my words will fall on the deaf ears of a dedicated staff member.

Charley's is one of the finest steakhouse restaurants I have ever been to. The service was excellent. The food was also excellent. I would recommend it to anyone. We had a great experience there.

If you can be lucky enough to enjoy the atmosphere with other patrons who dress appropriately and dont have screaming kids all over the place then Charleys is fantastic. The salad bar is by no means "ponderosa" and is simple but fresh. The onion soup is amazing as well. I've been to the OBT location 3 times and wont go anywhere else. The steaks are cooked perfectly and for the price cannot be beat. I couldn't imagine paying double that price for a steak at any other restaurant. Never yet been disappointed. Next time, im going for the 20oz filet mingion stuffed with bleu cheese.
