Charley's Steak House

Good food solid experience. Visited this location & valet service was complementary due to the place being so packed! The interior is pretty nice and the prices are not too bad. Would I eat here again? Forsure!

Josh was phenomenal, and our food was absolutely outstanding. We’re visiting from California, and Charlie’s Steakhouse was our very first stop — and it was the best choice we could have made. The service, the atmosphere, and the quality of the food were all top-notch. If you’re ever in the area, you definitely need to pay them a visit!

Charley’s Steakhouse delivers a unique experience, but it definitely comes with a few highs and a couple misses.

First, the aesthetic could use some updating — unless “medieval banquet hall” is the intended vibe. It feels a bit dated. That said, their open-fire cooking concept is impressive. All steaks are cooked over real fire — no gas grills, no flat tops — just flame and a cast iron sear. You can absolutely taste that difference.

One thing I really appreciated is that they bring out the different fresh cuts of meat wrapped and displayed so you can browse and choose your exact selection. They’re also big on customization — size, thickness, temperature — which is a great touch for steak lovers.

We ordered the Ultimate Surf & Turf: fried colossal lobster tail with a 20oz chateaubriand filet cooked medium. Unfortunately, the first filet came out medium-well, almost well. They immediately apologized and went to work correcting it. They encouraged us to continue enjoying our sides and lobster while they prepared a fresh plate, and they went above and beyond to make it right — bringing us lobster bisque, another round of drinks, and later comping our butter cake.

The second filet had more pink but still wasn’t quite medium. At that point, we chose not to send it back again.

Now, let’s talk highlights.
The fried lobster tail was excellent — perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The spicy remoulade paired beautifully with it. The crab cakes may have been the best savory item on the table — packed with flavor and very little filler. The cedar plank cauliflower was decent but could have used a bit more seasoning. The house salad was solid.

And the butter cake? That stole the show. Absolute perfection.

The spicy prickly pear margarita was also delicious — balanced with just the right kick.
While they struggled to nail the steak temperature, their customer service truly made up for it. They handled the situation professionally and generously, which says a lot about how they value their guests.

Overall: great service, standout seafood and dessert, memorable fire-cooked concept — just be prepared that steak doneness might be slightly inconsistent.

My 1st time going to Charley's steak house restaurant. It is delicious. I had the 21 aged ribeye with salad. My wife 8oz filet with salad. My daughter and son in-law had shared the steak and lobster with salad's. All the steaks were cooked perfectly. We all shared the garlic mashed potatoes and roasted garlic broccoli plus wine and drinks. You can not go wrong. I am planning my next visit. I am SORRY I forgot to take pictures of the food. Make reservations for your special dinner. We did valet parking. They work for tips and they do a great job.

My husband and I celebrated our first Valentine’s Day at Charley’s Steakhouse on International Drive. We were greeted by every employee that we passed on the way to our table. And then we met our server Erleen who was truly amazing from beginning to end. She made us feel like part of her family. The food was fabulous with great attention to every detail.

Charley’s is hands down our favorite steakhouse, and last night proved exactly why. We celebrated our son’s 15th birthday and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The manager even came out with an amuse bouche to kick things off, which was such a thoughtful touch, and the steak presentation never gets old — it’s always such a great experience.

Our server, Austin, was phenomenal. We never had to ask for a single thing. He was attentive without being intrusive and truly elevated the whole evening.

We started with the lobster bisque (incredible), calamari, and shrimp cocktail — all delicious. My husband and I shared a porterhouse with au gratin potatoes, asparagus, and a one-pound Australian rock lobster that was out of this world. Our son had the ribeye filet with a fully loaded baked potato and loved every bite.

We’ve had amazing steaks in New York and San Francisco, but we always come back to Charley’s. The quality, service, and overall experience are unmatched. It’s consistently outstanding and always worth it. Can’t wait to return!

Outstanding food and service. My son and I dined at Charley's a few weeks ago, on recommendation from our hotel. The food exceeded our expectations. My son had the Wagyu beef and I had the beef tenderloin. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Every bite was tender and delicious. Our server, James, was the BEST. He was very knowledgeable about the food menu and wines and attentive to our needs. He was also genuinely kind and interested in us having an outstanding experience. We will be back for sure!

The steak was too salty. It would have been better if I could add the saltiness by my preference.
