Charlie Brown's Steakhouse

Our philosophy is simple; to provide great food, exceptional value and friendly service to each and every customer we serve.

Reviewed By Peter K

I do not believe I have ever enjoyed the selection and quality of offerings you find at Charlie Brown's salad bar anywhere else. If only their entrees lived up to the salad bar, I would consider a better rating. The serve quality steaks, and great mashed potatoes and sweet potato fries. But nothing special. Yes, it is a chain with multiple sites. That being said, I will go back, and back, and back. Their salad bar is the best. Especially for families.

Bar and cocktails fine...food is horrible!!! Was with a large group so many menu items were tried. Nachos and Philly cheesesteak used “movie theater” cheese. Chicken wings might have been under heat lamp for days so dry it was as if it was a dry rub not hot wings. Epic fail!

The food is excellent. The chef is flexible--there are not a lot of vegetarian choices listed but changes can be made. Sitting outside on the back porch overlooking the golf course is a treat in pleasant weather. Wait staff is pleasant and efficient.

The Thirsty Turtle

Reviewed By MitchPhyllis65

Recently our friends from South Carolina were in the area and wanted to eat at Thirsty Turtle. We all ate here together years ago before they moved down south. They both ordered Salmon dinners, my wife had a Pretzel Burger and I had the Portobello & Brie Burger. This place hasn’t changed much accept perhaps the menu and how much more crowded it is for dinner.

Bottle Hill Tavern

Reviewed By SusanK815

Rumor had it that some of the staff associated with Pal’s Cabin in West Orange now are associated with Bottle Hill Tavern. We ate here last night and saw many familiar items from Pal’s on the menu. The burgers tasted just like Pal’s. There are other favorites that we want to go back for. It isn’t a big place, so there could be a wait during popular times. We went at 5 pm, so we got right in.

GK's Red Dog Tavern

Reviewed By Bevert

We've been patronizing the Tavern since it opened. The food and service have always been at least at least a 3-star experience, far above the casual chain restaurants with similar menus. However, on weekend evenings, we noticed the management is no longer taking the restaurant and its patrons seriously. The important customers are now the after-party people who've finished the wedding celebrations and are drinking up a storm at the bar. And bringing their drinks into the Tavern, overrunning the customers who are still completing their meals. Last Saturday, there were couples, beer bottles in hand, unapologetically hanging over our booth, others taking selfies beside our booth. Truly, we were hemmed in by drinkers all around us, oblivious to their rudeness. Sadly, management didn't come in to survey the scene. We complained to our server who herself was upset with the situation and said it happens every Saturday night. We gulped down our food and left never to return.Thank you for the review Bevert. I do apologize for the rude guests that were in the dining area with you while you were trying to enjoy your meal with us. If you wouldn't mind speaking a little more in-depth about your experience with me my email is [email protected]. I look forward to speaking with you soon.Jeff LeeManagerGk's Red Dog Tavern

A friend of mine suggested we stop here after I met him at the Madison train station. I am glad he talked me in to it. I immediately saw it was a local bar but also noticed a detached dining room. We met a third person there and had drinks and bar food. The bar food was excellent. Better than most I have had. Also, there many choices. Two of us stayed for dinner and the food was also very good and there were a good number of choices.The service was excellent and hot items came out hot.I will not hesitate to come back whenever I a in the area.
