In 1975, following his retirement from professional baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Charley Sands entered the restaurant industry, founding a chain of establishments known as Charley’s. These restaurants were established across VA and NC, with the first location opening in Charlottesville, VA. The second location, Charley’s Lynchburg, opened its doors on September 24, 1980, at River Ridge Mall. In 2001, Charley’s introduced catering , offering full-service off-site hosting for all events, including business meetings, anniversaries, weddings, and birthdays. The catering menus feature both Charley’s signature favorites and a selection of innovative new entrees. Today, Charley’s LYH operates independently, owned by Rob and MJ Pearson.
Laid-back place featuring surf ‘n’ turf & other classic American eats, with a patio.

As soon as I walked in, I had to use the restroom—and I was very glad to find it clean. That immediately gave me a good first impression. I strongly believe restaurants should prioritize cleanliness, including tables, floors, and restrooms. No matter how good the food is, it won’t matter if the place isn’t clean.
Our server (I wish I remembered her name) was very nice, attentive, and friendly. Great service always adds to a positive dining experience. Honestly, I would have given the restaurant 3½ stars if not for her—she truly made a difference.
I ordered the prime rib with a salad and Spanish rice. The prime rib didn’t look very impressive, but it tasted good and was cooked exactly as I ordered. Unfortunately, the Spanish rice tasted like it came from a box rather than being made from scratch, which made me regret that choice. The salad was standard but generous—no complaints there.
My husband ordered the prime rib sandwich with fries. He was very impressed with the fries; they were well-seasoned and fried properly, not bland at all. He enjoyed the sandwich, though the edges of one half were burnt. It was still edible, and the server made it right by offering us a free dessert, which we truly appreciated and did not expect. A very nice gesture.
Our son-in-law ordered a burger and enjoyed it. It was a generously sized beef patty on a large bun, cooked to order and very filling. According to him, the taste and quality were above average.
Because of the cleanliness and the friendly, attentive service, we would definitely consider going back.
