    Excellent food and services, not expensive at all! The food was simply delicious and the server was great and friendly. The atmosphere and the decoration was great and simple. They work fast too, didn’t have to wait for too long before having my food. I had a grilled pork with a mushroom sauce (amazing) and French fries as entry, my partner had a chicken something lol, he enjoyed it! The cocktails was also delicious! Proudly recommended

    The wife and I always enjoy stopping here. Charleston’s has a dark and inviting atmosphere, a nice place for a casual date. There are plenty of tables and booths to choose from and there’s even a separate bar area if that’s what you choose. The food here is always dependable. Good. My favorite dish is fried catfish with slaw and fries. A good meal can always be had here for a decent price and service is impeccable

    This is my go to chicken tender place that I’ve been going for a long time. Introduced my 13-year-old daughter to the chicken tenders which she thoroughly enjoyed. I decided to get some thing outside of the box and try the rigatoni. Very good rigatoni. The potato soup was quite delightful will definitely be back for lunch to get a bowl. Upon arrival we only had to wait two minutes for the elderly couple ahead of us that took forever to choose where they wanted to sit. The hostess was slow and took forever to bring our drinks, not very impressed. The meal is expensive but for the quality of the food I’m willing to pay. Will be back to enjoy chicken tenders in near future

    Great times with great food! Great place to sit and enjoy an evening dine in. They remodeled the furniture, and it creates a relaxing vibe. The food is top-notch as always, and their fries are amazing. I got the the baby back ribs and they are amazing. Pros - Great food quality and cooked to order - Great ambiance for relaxing conversations - Drinks are also great - Staff is friendly and helpful Cons - None Great times at a great place. Will become one of my main stops!

    We were immediately seated in the bar area. Very clean, and so was the ladies' room. Latasha, our server was pleasant and attentive. She made sure that we had everything we needed, that says a lot. Served to me nice & hot!! My catfish was fried to perfection. I had the glazed carrots and fried orka. "Chef's kiss," my lunch was absolutely delicious ‼️‼️

    Family night with my hubby and in-laws 🥰 always good spending time with them. Charleston's is the place to go for all around good eating. The pics don't do the taste of the food justice. Definitely experience Charleston's for yourself.

    Absolutely wonderful ambiance and the food was delicious. I had the best Chicken Piccata I have had since I lived in Italy, my mixed vegetables were tender and buttered to perfection. My husband ordered a Cheeseburger that he thoroughly enjoyed. The service was excellent we were seated immediately and waited on by a lovely server named Addison, and a server in training that were both very professional. Thank you Charleston's we are here visiting from Kansas City for the weekend and will most probably come back again !!! 🙂✨💖

    I have only eaten at a bar table so I cannot speak to the atmosphere in the main part of the restaurant. But I do enjoy eating in the bar area. The atmosphere is very nice and comfortable. My husband and I have started to make this part of our monthly date nights we poke it so much! They have so many great food options!! Their honey croissants are delicious!! I also really like their ranch. Their fries are like the size of steak and shake but way better and they stay crispy even after they have started to cool. I would also recommend their baked potato soup. Based on their food and the atmosphere of the bar, I would highly recommend especially if you are looking for a nice place to eat

    We always get seated right anyway, even when the parking lot looks full to capacity. We love Charleston we eat there frequently,specifically for the crescents, the shrimp and the catfish. We’ve tried other things and have enjoyed them as well, everything is great to us. But again those crescents (ask for the honey sauce) and the fried catfish are exceptional. Portions are great for the price and we always share. The peach Bellini is my favorite cocktail here.

    This restaurant was very warm and friendly! I’m in town for work and this restaurant was highly recommended for a good bite to eat! The food was delicious and the service was five star!! My waitress was Izmana and she was amazing! Very friendly and attentive! The manager Lance introduced himself and welcomed me as it was my first time here! Very customer service oriented! It’s hard to find all of these things these days!! Thanks for a home run as my experience was amazing!

    The baked beans were savory closely bordering on sweet. Great consistency. My aunt ordered a pineapple upside down cake, and added caramel sauce. I'm not big on sweets, and this almost made me get back in the game, just with a piece. Next time I visit, I'll definitely be coming back. The service was A-1 as well.

    Ate dinner here for our anniversary. My husband got the prime rib with vegetable medley, and I got the pork chops with asparagus and burgundy mushrooms. I also had the Sun King Cream Ale to drink. It was delicious as always!! I always brag about this restaurant!

    Been a patron for decades. Visited for dinner 11/2022. This crew more attentive and engaged, polite than some prior visits from greeters to seaters, servers. Kudos to Curtis with a little pleasant chit chat humor that unfortunately is a rarity at most establishments. Food included Shrimp scampi, Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Piccata no complaints. Have also been to Westfield location, but prefer Castleton's decor and ambiance. Would be nice to put the ceiling lights on dimmers, a tad bright for upscale intimate dining but not blinding like most places. Will have to visit again and hope fir the same crew. 5/5 but could change.

    Delicious. They do all of the traditional American fare, and do it well. From sandwiches, burgers, salads and soups, to steaks and seafood. We love the decor, music and atmosphere. They have a really nice bar too. The Dynamite Shrimp is very good - light breading, excellent sauce. Their baked beans are awesome. The redskin smashed potatoes are excellent. The ribs really do fall off the bone and just the right amount of sauce. The Chicken Piccata was excellent. We had it sans pasta, double veggies. The portions were so generous that we had leftovers for at least one more meal - making the prices much more reasonable. Finally, I had Bread Pudding for dessert, and it was an awesome finish! Quia was our server and she did a great job. Wow. Great food, great service in a great atmosphere. Hard to believe it's in a hotel parking lot by Castleton Mall.

    The clam chowder is fantastic. The food is pricey but quite good. The blacked catfish was delicious but I should have ordered something other than fries. If I had I might have been able to justify the price easier. Definitely try the chowder if that's something you like though.

  • 5/5 Brittany 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely satisfied customer! Wonderful service from beginning to end. Ribs were tender, fried okra was fresh, my mom was very happy with her margarita. Baby friendly place!

  • 5/5 Kurt C. 10 months ago on Google
    I always love going here. Everything is delicious. I typically get the Reuben. It's one of the best around. The burgundy mushrooms are very good as well as the baked beans. Really can't go wrong with anything.

    Amazing food and service. Went around 1130 and no wait. Great for lunch. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Mickey 1 year ago on Google
    Indy’s best kept secret for locals! They make their croissants fresh with a light glaze of honey butter, a must try. My usuals are the rigatoni and chicken tenders with coleslaw. My opinion, it’s wayyyy better than that chicken tender place in Avon.

    I went with my partner’s family on a Sunday afternoon and it was not terribly busy. We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly. Our waitress was polite and attendant. Overall it was a good experience. I only did a 4/5 stars because the plate presentation wasn’t ideal but the food was still tasty! Would of preferred more noodles with the amount of chicken they had given.

    I went here today, one my favorite was on the specials menu, the French style pork chop, one of the best pork chops I ever had. If you don't have kids, I recommend sitting in the bar, the main dining room is dark and noisy, the bar is a lot more enjoyable in my opinion.

  • 5/5 Derek G. 4 months ago on Google
    Arrived around 11:45 and was seated immediately. Tried the chicken avocado club this time. The sandwich tasted fresh and flavorful. The fries were like warm but edible. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive.

    On the way to Cincinnati we stopped there for lunch. Had shrimp cargo and asked potato soup. Liked it so much that stopped by again for lunch 2 days later on return trip. Again had the same soup bit added house salad with herb vinegrate dressing that came with nice warm honey butter croissant. Absolutely delicious. Dressing was so amazing that we had to take a sample with us. Service both times was very friendly and attentive. Everything we are in the area we will visit again.
