The prices are reasonable, making it an ideal place to gather with friends or larger groups. Reservations are welcome, but walking in is just as convenient. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, and beautifully presented. You definitely get good value for your money, and there’s often enough leftovers to enjoy another meal later. Be sure to check out Charleston's!

Overall, my experience was just alright. The service was a bit slow, even though the restaurant wasn't busy, but the staff was very friendly and pleasant. The flatbread was absolutely delicious—had I known it would be that good, I would have ordered one just for myself! However, the drinks didn’t impress the group. One member of our party had visited the day before and praised the cocktails and food, but we learned that there was a different bartender today, which may have affected the quality. In summary, we had high praise for the queso, flatbread, and pork chop!

We had a decent dinner at Charleston's, but it didn't leave us particularly impressed. The service was efficient but felt a bit robotic; it wasn’t bad per se, just lacking warmth. On a positive note, the cocktails were excellent, and the dynamite shrimp appetizer was very tasty. While I prefer the Bang Bang shrimp from Bonefish, this was still enjoyable. My partner ordered the shrimp scampi, which was outstanding. However, my chicken piccata was just okay; I much prefer the version at Jimi D's. The angel hair pasta underneath was dry, and looking back, I wish I had chosen the filet tips special instead. The Brussels sprouts side was disappointing—barely cooked and tough. I appreciate some vegetables being al dente, but these were practically raw. Additionally, the cheesy bread that came with my partner's meal was underwhelming; a simple baguette would have been a much better choice. We wavered between giving this a four-star or three-star rating, but ultimately, we both felt there are other restaurants we enjoy more. Unless there's a special occasion, we probably won’t return.

Loved it here! Service was great and the smoked salmon entree was delicious and cooked perfectly. Not dry and just right! Came for a work dinner and we all were extremely happy with our meals. I was able to swap the vegetable side for a baked potato and it was well dressed with sour cream and a bit of shredded cheese. The salad it came with was very good with cooked egg on top which was a great and unexpected enhancement. The homemade blue cheese dressing was excellent! I will be back when back in the area and highly recommend!

I hope this review is of use, despite the fact I have 0 pictures and there isn't much diversity in our order this evening. We have been going to Charlestons for more than 10 years and always have enjoyed it, but my husband's favorite meal there is the trout. Over the last couple of years, every time I called ahead or checked their menu on Facebook no trout. So it had been a while. Sure, they have other good food, but when you really want your favorite ... So, on a whim, I checked this week's specials and THEY'VE GOT TROUT! We're off! It was a little confusing at first because we'd usually eaten at the location on the north side of Dodge opposite Boys Town, but when we drove up the building was vacant they'd moved to a new location over by the new development west of Boys Town on 144th in January. This new location is fresh, big ... and noisy. Hostesses and our server were friendly and helpful, but we didn't even need menus, we were on a mission! Starting with a Maple Smoked Manhattan and a (healthy) glass of Sauv Blanc, we put in our dual order for trout. Salad came first chilled bowls, decent size, accompanied by a warm croissant. The balsamic vinaigrette was great, but maybe a little much. I'd get the dressing on the side next time. Otherwise, delicious! When the grilled trout arrived, I was a little surprised (pleasantly) by the size. It was a little larger than the palm of my hand at least five ounces. It was perfectly grilled, sitting on a bed of rice, topped with a green apple and mango salsa, which really was a nice touch. The vegetable side was butter cooked broccoli. The vegetable was cooked just right, not mushy. I didn't eat any of the rice and only half of the broccoli as I was getting pretty full. The trout was just as we remembered. We got key lime pie to go this is another favorite. The slice is huge, always enough to share. It has a great sour touch and the Graham cracker crust is to die for! So, check their Facebook page for weekly specials, as I said, I've had other good dishes there, but when you see the trout head there immediately!
