Charley's steakhouse is the best in Tampa. I'm a local and a HUGE food snob. Some people say Bern's is the best, but that's just for the name. Any Tampa native will tell you Charley's is the best. This is where my family has been going for years for special occasions, and I have several friends on staff. The staff... more

I recently traveled to Charley's for dinner and was extremely surprised at my horrible experience. First, if I am being totally honest, the starters were excellent once we got them. That is about it though. First we had reservations and were seated about 20 minutes later. When we were seated, a waitress came and got our drink orders and informed... more

He then came back and exclaimed... more

We ate at Charley's last weekend as a treat for my husband (who loves steak) and had a really great time. The decor of the place is great and it has a really cosy yet lively atmosphere. Our waiter was fabulous too - recommending one of the greatest wines I've ever had (the Connundrum - a Californian white). The compliocation... more
