    The host did a terrific hosting job even opened doors for handicap gentlemen...all while counting tables and heads. Had dessert: Key Lime pie and Carrot cake to go--- Delicious

    Would definitely recommend Chareston's Restaurant located along the scenic canal area of Bricktown. The ambiance has a mellow, relaxing vibe. A good place to go after a full day of exploring Bricktown without feeling touristy. The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. The food we ate was very good. We started with the flavorful and spicy "Dynamite Shrimp" appetizer and then shared the (huge portion) chicken fried steak. The accompanying carrots were bright and not mushy, while the mashed potatoes were just mushy enough! No room for dessert. I would return to this restaurant primarily for the ambiance, service and location.

    It has been about 5 years since I have eaten at a Charleston's Restaurant. Our Charleston's in FW closed down, but today I was able to eat at one while visiting Oklahoma City. The food and drinks were just as I remembered. Our bartender/waiter Eddie was very friendly and on point with the drinks. I ordered a Chocolate Martini, and he made it exactly how I like it, creamy and chocolatey. My sister and I ordered Buttery Nipples, and those shots had a Great butterscotch taste. My house salad was also on point and Charleston's croissants almost tasted better than Cheddars. And Yes, the ribs are just like their advertised; meat just falls of the bones!! Never a bad experience at Charleston's. Thrilled to be able to eat there again!

    It’s a good place for social hour. Great location in Bricktown. Classy atmosphere and good service. I ordered the Perfect Margarita 🍸 It was more than perfect 👍🏻 My husband ordered the Fall Old Fashioned and Sazerac Envy🍹 Both delicious 💖 We had soup and shrimp gumbo. It was great 👍🏻 The Dynamite Shrimp 🍤 were so good 👍🏻 I gave only ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ because it had some red lipstick 💄 on my second glass 🍸 🥲😖😣 But the server charged the new one for me.

    My wife, daughter and I were visiting Oklahoma City after our grandson’s graduation from Basic Training at Fort Sill, and we heard good things about Charleston’s Restaurant at Bricktown – so we went there for dinner, and all the recommendations were right on target! Food, service, and atmosphere were absolutely wonderful. I had the shrimp scampi, my wife had the day’s special barramundi seafood, and my daughter had the Reuben sandwich. My wife also celebrated with a special Jameson whiskey sour! My shrimp scampi was perfectly cooked with well-balanced garlic butter wine and tomato sauce over angel hair pasta – absolutely delicious! The barramundi with jicama slaw, apple, mango, in a lime dressing was outstanding. The Reuben sandwich was also fantastic – and quite large, including lots of fries. Excellent and efficient service was provided by Francine L. who was super-friendly and informative - we definitely appreciated her suggestions about food selections and local sites. This was a really great dining experience, and we definitely want to come back. Very highly recommended.

    Really delicious food and nice atmosphere! Very great employees! You get your food in less than 10 minutes. Just a little expensive if you want a steak 🥩

    The Shrimp Scampi had two of my favorite ingredients: angel hair and shellless shrimp. Unfortunately, the oil was on the heavy side. Everything else in the dish was perfect. The Belle Glos Balade was one of the best pinot noirs I've had, but I don't drink that much pinot noirs. Regardless, it paired fine with the scampi. The server was informative, friendly, attentive, and quick. The rest of the staff seemed friendly, but I didn't interact with them much.

    Delicious! Delightful! Decadent! A definite must. Enjoyed a shared Pork Chop with a loved one. Both of us walked out feeling loved. Bread pudding yummiest. Appetizers must get Dynamite Shrimp. So amazing. Best ever!

    The ribs were awesome. Sweet sauce and fall off the bone. I ate some of them with a fork since the meat fell right off. The baked beans tasted more like Shiloh to me but the ribs were so good I didn’t care. They had the best staff. I told them how they were working so good as a team. Definitely a rare group of workers. And the bartender ran the whole bar she was probably the best bartender I’ve ever seen. I left fully satisfied. Pork chops pics were from a separate visit. Ribs were better. And the carrots were amazing!

    What a lovely experience! We arrived road weary and an hour before closing and were treated to amazing food and service. All the staff made sure we were taken care of. Thank you!

  • 3/5 Toolee M. 2 years ago on Google
    We went there for dinner on a weekday night. It was not too busy, and there are plenty of booth open. For two people, it cost more than $50, which is a bit expensive relative to other place in OKC. If you eat here for dinner, expect to spend more than $15 for a simple entre. Overall, we had a decent experience. I would be hesitant to come here, due to the price. As of October 7, 2021, there is no masking mandate. One major complaint I have is the cleanliness of the bathroom. I walked by the toilet as I approach the sink to wash my hand, and the toilet was gross. There were brown particles sticking to the bowl. I recommend having a staff to periodically check on the bathroom to ensure it is clean. A negative experience with the toilet could ruin the optics/atmosphere of the restaurant for some people.

    First visit to OK city and Charleston. We reached there 15 mins before closing time bc we were travelling from Houston on a Friday. They accommodated us and our server was so sweet. The Dynamite Shrimp was tasty and very similar to Bang Bang Shrimp (if anyone has tried it). good portion size for a starter. But Shrimp Cargot wasn't worth the pricing. It came in a big bowl and it was deceiving. It only comes with 6 shrimp covered with cheese and herb garlic butter in escargot plate. The pork chop were filling and tasty. Sweet glazed carrots was amazing. Eat them while they are hot. once they turn cold its Meh.. Baked chicken was flavorful but the breast was dry(kinda expected)

    Had an excellent dinner here last night…the croissant was the best I have ever had! Margarita was outstanding, baked potato soup was scrumptious as was the shrimp scampi. Service was friendly and fast.

  • 5/5 Sweet G. 1 year ago on Google
    i came to Charleston's restaurant with an agenda - to eat the Dynamite shrimp and the croissants with honey butter. The staff was courteous and I ate those shrimps and I ate those croissants. Great stuff - full off that alone. My colleagues seemed to enioy their respective orders as well - would recommend

  • 5/5 Maricela P. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was great! we were recommended the pork chops blackened and the carrots and they DIDN'T DISAPPOINT!! Would 100% get this again and again

  • 5/5 Joe P. 10 months ago on Google
    Went there while in town for work. Had the Dynamite shrimp which were very good(pic is of partially eaten order). Fresh sprouts under the shrimp were cool and crisp. Shrimp were hot and tasty. Sauce was outstanding. Also ordered the chicken club salad which was very good. Only issue was the inedible piece of tendon at the end of the chicken strips-need to remove that prior to breading and frying. Maria at the bar was excellent. Never let my tea glass get empty.

  • 5/5 Makeda B. 10 months ago on Google
    Service was outstanding! Hot fresh food with quick service. I ordered the chicken fried steak (as chicken with sauce on side). Our waiter Adam which was very attentive and awesome! He made sure to check on us throughout our meal. Team work was great from the other staff as well. Absolutely enjoyed the experience. Will be back again next time visiting Bricktown!

  • 5/5 Asia H. 4 months ago on Google
    This was mine and my husband's first ever visit. The food is amazing. We typically fet an appetizer but becayse we had a show to see we didnt wanr to get too full. But we did get some delicious croissants. I got the shrimp scampi and I usually don't do so by other experiences at Italian restaurants... but this place has changed my mind. Very delicious angelhair pasta, very well sauced and seasoned, not too saucey just right... ny husband gotten the ribeye and it was cooked to his liking... our sides were the sweet glased carrots, which were very addicting . Our alcohol beverages were on point. Want a tasty dirty martini/ an old fashion, this is the place. Our server was very helpful, friendly and On point with his service. The atmosphere is amazing! Beautiful even!

    First time here and my wait Sir was Jacob and he was awesome! Very down to earth and very knowledgeable about the menu. When I was hot ,he made sure , without asking me ,to have the air turned higher. I order the ribs and they were falling out the bones,fries were piled sky high on my plate! The manager himself came to my table to see about my experience. All in all great dining experience and I look forward to coming here again when I am in town! Vibes,Vibes,vibes

    We enjoyed our dinner here. Baby friendly. I had a quinoa kale salad, which had chicken but they replaced chicken to shrimp when I asked. I would come back.

  • 5/5 Heather M. 2 years ago on Google
    A group of 7 of us came here for dinner on January 21. The service was phenomenal, the drinks were amazing (that planters tea was SO good!), my medium rare top sirloin was tender and juicy, and the key lime pie is TO DIE FOR (seriously...hands-down the best fresh key lime pie I've ever had!) Whenever I'm back down from Canada, I'm making it a point to come back!

    Easily, Charleston’s are the most consistent casual sit down restaurants around. No matter location, food is great and the service is perfect. Friendly staff. Straightforward menu. Food comes out correct. This location did not disappoint. Had lunch with a friend. This is a solid institution!
