    Nice location. Server was good. Food was pricey for what you got. My steak was not cooked properly and wasn’t hot or even warm. The fries tasted like like old grease. To get a baked potato with a $26 steak was a $2.99 up charge which was ridiculous. The menu looked great but the way in which meal was served was a disappointment. Too many other places to go and get awesome food for the price I had to pay for this.

    Food was good, the service was great. We ordered two apps, two rounds of drinks, and entees. The manager came out to let us know they were running behind but we had no idea and everything went smoothly. Enjoyed our meals. Only complaint was the music was loud but I may have just been slightly overwhelmed.

    Overall the food was all really good, although the steaks my wife and I ordered were both overcooked. We ordered ours medium and they came out more on the heavy end of medium-well, but we did not send them back due to a time crunch. They were seasoned very well and I could tell they would have been fantastic if not overcooked, so hopefully the kitchen is advised to watch steaks more closely. I know this is not a steakhouse, per se, so my expectations were not to receive perfection. Everything else that we ordered, from the soft pretzel appetizer to the sides, as well as the food our kids ordered, was all great.

    My server was the reason for my poor experience. She spoke inappropriately to me when first meeting me. She commented on whether or not my friend would actually join me, then gossiped about her customer before me who apparently was in this situation. She had this giant nose ring in, and she seemed mostly concerned with the table of men in front of us. I’d appreciate her being coached on how to deal with different types of people. She needs to learn how to speak with the utmost respect to all of her guest.

    The reason I gave the lower rating was because of the noise level. You must have had the complaint before because you were specific in asking about it. Food was excellent.

    The noise level was way too loud!!! We could not have a conversation across a four top. The poor waiter had to keep bending down to hear us. The food was okay. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was Jesus (Haysues). He is outstanding.

    What started out as what I though would be a lovely night turned sour with half a&& service and terrible communication between management and staff I had to send my food back twice at this point I told them don’t worry about it, manager processed to wanna give me the salad . definitely come here if you want your food cooked incorrectly.

    CharBar No.7 - Mountain Brook is an upscale sports bar. Lots of burger variations on the menu plus some plated entrées including salmon. Prices are moderate considering the location and food. (Good) Parking can be an issue in the congested area, so arrive early. Not too noisy either - but it wasn't a game night. No beer menu without QR code. We have "No phones at the table" rule and our server was uninformed about the choices. Print the damn drink choices.

    I ordered the shrimp scampi. Menu says it is topped with diced tomatoes but mine didn't have any. It was literally a little bowl of shrimp and butter with some cheese on top and toast. Pretty underwhelming.

    Great food, Great Service. The only issue we had was no one’s fault. Did not realize it was a sports bar atmosphere. There was a group cheering for one of the bowl games. Not judging them. I would have normally been an apart of the group lol. Was just really loud and obnoxious and wasn’t expecting that for dinner. Would still go again.

    Great place to watch a ball game or just enjoy a casual dinner. Outstanding food, from several salads (recommend the wedge) to a variety of sandwiches to steaks! We’ve been here 4 or 5 times and are never disappointed! Dee did a great job taking care of us. We will be back!

    Waited on service for drinks. Got served the wrong drinks. Ordered food. Waited 30+ minutes for cheeseburgers and fries, which were undercooked (still pink and cold in the middle), and wrong toppings. Did not return orders due to not wanting to wait any longer. Waitstaff did not collect plates or anything to pre bus the table. Had to go find the waitstaff after 30 + minutes of waiting on the check.

    What a truly horrible experience. When we arrived, our server took our drink orders. All four of us requested certain rum. The waiter made a big deal about verifying they had the rum. When he return to the table, and brought us our drinks, we all knew that the rum was not what we had ordered. When one of the members of my party asked about this, the waiter claimed they “could not find the empty bottle that the rum was poured out of.“ He did nothing to rectify this clear error. The waiter later asked if we wanted to have another round of the drinks. I previously asked him since they could not find the “empty bottle“ that they must be out of the rum we had requested for the evening. He said they must be. Our food was forgettable at best. The fried mushroom appetizer consisted of lightly fried mushrooms which were raw in the center. Our waiter suggested the tater tots as a side for our meals, which were greasy and awful. My wife and I both had hamburgers, they were OK, but certainly not worth the price paid. What we did not know prior to going to the restaurant was that it was basically a sports bar. We could barely hear each other speaking because the audio for one of the football games was blaring over the speakers in the restaurant. Finally, when we requested a check from the waiter, I heard him say something to the effect of he would be glad to get us “out of his section,” or words to that effect. I’m not sure if there was a manager working at this location. If there had been, I would’ve been glad to talk to them and tell them about the awful service, the wrong drink service, and probably even addressed the poor quality of the food. All in all the experience was atrocious. Our party of four was just desperate to get out the door by the time we left
