Stopped by Charlie’s for a birthday dinner on a Tuesday. The crowd was light and the place felt cozy. Best part was we walked right in. Seated immediately. The staff was extremely kind and didn’t waste our time. Drinks and food landed fast.
The food was exploding with flavor. The Ribeye was a beautiful cut. Had that perfect, crispy sear on the outside and was juicy on the inside. Seasoning was spot on. But the sides? Wow. The potatoes au gratin were the hands-down best I’ve ever had. Creamy and rich. The crabmeat au gratin was fantastic too. French Onion soup was super cheesy. Just how I like it.
Old-fashioned was perfect. Wine list was just OK. A bit small.
Steaks are obviously awesome. But the potatoes blew me away. Best meal I’ve had in a long time.

The best thing about the restaurant was our server. She was kind and attentive. The food on the other hand was sub par at best. The “medium” $58 steak was so rare it was purple on the inside on a hot plate full of oil. When dropped off we were offered A1 or Heinz 57. I should have known then….no good steakhouse offers any kind of sauce! The sides, salad and onions straws eh. Would not recommend or return.

We enjoyed our meal and would go back sometime. They were busy but the service was pretty good. My wife’s filet was delicious. The NY Strip that I had was also pretty good. We were disappointed that they ran out of tiramisu but otherwise we had a good meal.

We took our friends from Michigan and they were absolutely Wowed by everything. Our server, Jess, was fantastic, funny and very knowledgeable about the food and the history. They also had a new item for dessert, which was chocolate creme brulee, and it was just YUMMY, BEST EVER.

The best. I come here to eat at ‘the Elvis table’ upstairs for almost every special occasion, and eat at the bar as a solo diner a lot too. Great place to watch Jeopardy and have an old fashioned or a martini – Mr. Paul’s specialties. I almost always get the wedge salad with blue cheese on the side, left over onion rings on top, and get the spinach, potatoes (or crab!) au gratin and put it on the hot plate with the steak so all the juices and cream mix together. Ribeye, and NY strip, or Pittsburg filet are always good. Unpretentious, friendly, delicious. Love em.

Old school steakhouse with a lot of flair, no written menues and outstanding food and service. The rib eye was done to perfection, the creamed spinach outstanding and to be quite honest, I never had crab au gratin before! What a treat!! To top it all off, some to die for Tiramisu! A truly superb experience off the beaten path. Our server Jason deserves a honorable mention as well.

Lovely old school steakhouse, I came with a large group for a birthday celebration. It’s a family style service, everyone ordered the steak they wanted, and we ordered a bunch of sides and apps for the table. I didn’t order any drinks, as they didn’t have the ingredients for a Vespa at the time, but everyone else raved about theirs. The steaks of course were cooked to perfection. I love the fact they had a NY strip on the menu as most places I’ve been to don’t carry that cut. The sides were so good they almost stole the spotlight. The creamed spinach, potatoes gratin and crab casserole were so rich and creamy. Better than any previous versions I’ve had. And the mountain of fried goodness that is their onion rings! I would seriously come here, sit at the bar drinking and pigging out on them only. Several of us ended up putting them on the superb wedge salads. The only letdown was the broccoli, which I was warned was lacking in comparison with the other sides. Not bad, but decidedly plain when taken with everything else we ordered. They could’ve cooked them the same way as the asparagus, but they were only slightly steamed. Service was equally excellent. We were the only diners upstairs, so we had their full attention. Being family style, they won’t split individual checks from the table, so we collected cards and split everything evenly. Of course there were the two that make the most money out of us all who somehow didn’t contribute. Don’t bring those ppl when you come!

Charlie’s Steakhouse is the real deal-so good we ate there twice in one week during a vacation in New Orleans. The steaks were phenomenal, cooked perfectly both times, and the sides hit just right. The waitstaff was friendly, fast, and made the whole experience feel like a local favorite, not a tourist trap.
Absolutely worth the drive away from the French Quarter-next time I’m in town, l’m heading straight back.

Friday Night dinner last week. Thankfully we had reserved as there was a line waiting.
Both had steak – done properly & very good. Sides were large, complimented our meals wonderfully. Wine selection was a bit small. Server did great job checking on us multiple times.

We came to Charlie’s Steak House for the Coolinary Festival while visiting from Arizona to celebrate a birthday, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Even before arriving, our Uber drivers and locals were cheering for us for choosing Charlie’s, and now we understand why.
This dinner was phenomenal. I ordered the filet mignon cooked perfectly medium, and it was buttery, tender, and unforgettable. I paired it with potatoes au gratin, which were so good I took them to go and even carried them with me on bourbon street to enjoy later. The house salad starter was decent, though a little heavy on the vinegar, but everything else more than made up for it.
What stood out just as much as the food was the service. Our server Amanda was phenomenal and the bartenders were equally amazing. My family and I have not stopped talking about this experience, and we even found ourselves recommending Charlie’s to locals during our visit. We cannot wait to come back the next time we are in New Orleans.
