A word from Charley's Steak House - Tampa
Charley's Steak House is owned by the Woodsby family and has operated in Florida since 1974. Charley’s serves only three-year-old USDA prime and choice Angus steers, aging them four to six weeks for tenderness & flavor and hand-cutting the steaks daily to ensure consistent quality. The steaks are… then flame-broiled over Florida citrus and oak wood in a custom-built pit at 1200º searing in the tantalizing taste that has made Charley’s the #1 steakhouse in America every year since 2007! Charley’s philosophy of providing only the finest extends from the kitchen to the wine cellar. The wine list approaches 1000 selections from scores of exceptional wineries around the globe. Charley’s has been recognized with numerous awards including “Best of Award of Excellence” from Wine Spectator magazine, DiRōNA and Orlando Magazine’s“ Best Steak House & Best Old Favorite”. Charley’s has been creating fans from around the world for nearly 40 years. We look forward to having you become a fan soon! Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "With all of the new Tampa restaurants that seem so culinarily tempting, I forget that Charley's is truly fantastic. The wet aged steaks cooked at high temperatures above the fire grill distinguishes it from other fantastic steakhouses."

  • "Great place! No wait, busy yet quiet, excellent service. Everything from soup to nuts was very good, though I'd prefer they not over-smoke the steaks. I'd just as soon have a more natural, traditional flavor. Also, side dish portions are too small for a steakhouse. Those things aside, though, Charley's offers an excellent dining experience, and I'd certainly go back again."

  • "I like smoked food but, when paying $$$ for a steak and I can't tasted the meat because it's like I'm drinking liquid smoke right out of the bottle. NO thanks."
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "I had bragged to my children (grown) how good it was based on previous visits. A birthday celebration for one of them had us there for the evening. For the price I expect more. The lobster mac was VERY salty and the steaks were tender but totally lacked flavor. The spinach for two was more like for one and was chewy. The atmosphere was great but the dinner was disappointing. For a 300.00 meal for four it should be better."
    Dined on 7/23/2014
  • "What is it with large groups? The first time my filet was cold and bland. This time my chicken was like rubber....I could only take a bite and took the rest home for my dogs. This is Charley's, it's not supposed to be mediocre!"
    Dined on 7/22/2014
  • "The food was excellent. But it took almost 2 1/2 hours to dine here. It could have been quicker."
    Dined on 7/22/2014
  • "Food was fresh, delicious and well presented and reasonably priced."
    Dined on 7/20/2014
  • "Crabcake appetizer was one of the best I ever had . The steak and lobster were done perfectly and the suggested wine was wonderful. Our server Eron was knowledgable and attentive and helped make the night even more enjoyable. overall highly recommend."
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "Restaurant is laid out very nicely, and is very cozy. The service is terrific and the food was excellent. We started out with the escargot and the ahi tuna appetizers which I would highly recommend. We were there to celebrate my son's birthday and everything was just perfect!!"
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "I love this place. It has always been my favorite steak house in Tampa."
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "I've been coming to Charley's for years, usually once or twice a year. One of my favorite places, as the food is always excellent and wonderful service!! Mike was our server and did a wonderful job!"
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "If you like steak , good steak with a oak grilled flavor this is the place for you! But the fish is also excellent as the grilled vegetables."
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "Steaks were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Chefs seafood choice was delicious. As a former veteran of fine dining service, I found the entire experience impeccable."
    Dined on 7/17/2014
  • "Amber was outstanding and the girl bartender was superb. The bison was unremarkably great! We loved the smashed potatoes. We look forward to our next dining experience."
    Dined on 7/15/2014
  • "I have eaten the Buffalo several times I was disappointed with the amout of fat. I have eaten the rib eye several times first one that has that amour if fat."
    Dined on 7/15/2014
  • "Food was worth waiting for if you like wood grilled fish and steak. Appetizers were excellent. Bad side we did have to wait because were told fire had to be relit."
    Dined on 7/14/2014
  • "Went for a nice date night and everything was perfect. Date is normally picky about steaks but she loved hers. Our waitress was nice and we had good overall service."
    Dined on 7/12/2014
  • "Order 3 steaks .2 were not cooked right and we're still raw. Manager took them off the bill but it kinda messed up the mood for the night."
    Dined on 7/12/2014
  • "It's been awhile since our last visit because we had very disappointing, rude, inattentive service last time. However, this visit was an awesome recovery to the Charley's we know and love. We had the Bison and Wagyu steaks, & they were tasty, flavorful, & succulent bliss! We did not really like the roasted cauliflower but Charley's sides ALWAYS leave something to be desired. Get your veggies at home, & eat the garlic bread, salad (dressing on the side otherwise it's mush), carrot cake, & Letitia Pinot & and you should be a happy camper! :)"
    Dined on 7/12/2014
  • "The food and service were very good, my only advice to anyone dining here would be to specifically ask how much the "specials" are......we did not ask and assumed the special ribeye steak would be around $30-$40 just like most of the other steaks on the menu. The server never told us the price and the ribeye special ended up being $89 each (we ordered 3). The same was true for the appetizer and veggie specials. The appetizer my husband ordered was 2 crab cakes and they were $18.95, much higher than all of the other appetizers. The veggie was a lobster macaroni and cheese which cost $14.50 as opposed to all the other veggies on the menu which were around $4-$7. The total for my dinner for 6 cost $453 before tip! Ask for prices!"

  • "The Service was exceptional. our waitress was very courteous. We were not rushed and enjoyed our meal from start to finish. The Steak and Lobster are the best...cant get anywhere else!!!"
    Dined on 7/11/2014
  • "Both the food and the service were excellent. My ribeye was cooked perfectly in the side dishes were great especially the lobster mac & cheese."

  • "The food was amazing, but the service was EXCEPTIONAL.."
    Dined on 7/11/2014
  • "Everything about Charley's is great except for one thing. It was my first time eating there, the occasion was my birthday. The food was wonderful, as well as the service. The only thing that was not good was the presentation of the tray with all that uncooked meat. It was not pleasant at all, to say the least. Other than that, great."
    Dined on 7/10/2014
  • "Very nice hint of smokiness to the wood fired grills on which the steaks are cooked. Impressive seafood tower was plentiful and delicious."
    Dined on 7/7/2014
  • "I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and it was a very good experience. The ambiance was thrown off a bit because the windows we sat next to overlooked a nearby hotel dumpster but other than that everything was great. The service was phenomenal and our server made great recommendations on food and wine. I had the bison and it was awesome. It is a little pricey but it was worth it. This is a very good place for special occasions. I will definitely be going back."
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "1. The food quality was just OK. The creamy spinach and filet mignon we're not the best ones we ha tried. 2. We do not mind paying high prices when the food is excellent. 3. When making the reservation I noted that it was my husband's birthday. Most restaurants usually bring a brownie or something to the table or at least a little candle at the end of the dinner. At this restaurant apparently they either select who to treat or they may offer this service. If I had been asked if I wanted something special for my husband I wouldn't mind to pay. Interesting enough, they brought a little dessert and candle to another person to the table next to ours. The waiter new about my husband's birthday because he mentioned it when we arrived."

  • "Arrived for a 6pm reservation and was not seated in a very good location. The wait staff assembled directly behind us. The room was basically empty when we arrived and a much better table should have been offered. Nothing special offered for the occasion."
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "As a steak house and part of Talk of the Town group I expected better, having been to Texas Cattle Company several times. The kansas city strip had a lot of gristle, the cowboy rib-eye was requested medium but came charred, and the chilean sea bass was excellent."
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "Food was excellent,but our server Suzi did not live up to fine dinning expectations. We had 3 appetizers, salads, steaks and wine, we were out in less than 1&1/2 hours. Suzi never came to refill our water glasses, and we had to pour our own wine. Needless to say we were so rushed that we didn't even have time to relax and enjoy. Very disappointing."
    Dined on 7/3/2014
  • "Had a business dinner for 4 people. Service was excellent, and the food was even better."
    Dined on 6/30/2014
  • "It was our first visit to this restaurant. Great food and service. No complaints, other than two annoying flies that we couldn't keep away from out table or off of our food. The waiter did manage to get one of them for us."
    Dined on 6/29/2014
  • "Great atmosphere, great service. Food is normally very good, but was not their highest quality this time around. Disappointing considering the price."

  • "Dinner and accommodations were excellent. Martini's are the best anywhere especially the Hawaiian and Lemon Drop! Steaks were fabulous and server was great too!"

  • "Great steakhouse with good selection of different types of steaks. We had a great waitress who was knowledgable about the wine list as well."

  • "Wagyu Ribeye was the best steak I've ever eaten and I'm hard to please. Service was fantastic."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "The waitress was awesome. I think her name was Susie. The sides were very large and tasted great. The steak, I'm sorry but the flavor to me tasted like plastic smells. I could not eat it at all. I'm being told it was the smoke flavor. We are not fans of the smoke flavor, so maybe that was the problem. But the steak was cooked great, had my medium rare exactly like I like it and my husband had his cooked medium. Was tender, but as soon as the flavor hit and the after taste, wow. Sorry, that was just not for us. But everything else was great."
