It smelled like mildew. The food was good. If you are there longer than one hour and a half, the manager will start walking around your table and making you feel uncomfortable.

The service was poor- server Michael. Two tables that came if after ours was served first. My dinner chicken and waffles- dropped one of the two chicken straps. The waffles was hard as a rock couldn't cut into the waffle. The cheddar grits hard and dry needless to saw the meal was a disaster!!! $125.00 wasted

We had a work function here and it was great! My steak was perfect!
Food is good but service is very disappointing and we will likely not be going back.Went for an anniversary dinner with my wife and we told the waiter she is allergic to pork, so no bacon on her baked potato. The manager actually brought out our food the first time and we instantly sent it back because it had bacon on it. He brought it out a second time and it still had bacon on it. The third time it was obvious they just picked the bacon bits off the potato and sent the same one back out (dug around in the sour cream and found one small piece of bacon). Absolutely unacceptable when we already stated her food allergy. As I said, the manager brought our food out all three times and didn’t offer anything complimentary for the inconvenience.

Best steak I've had in a while.

Nice restaurant, never disappoints. The central room is kinda dark with no other views than other customers. Sadly, most restaurants in Alabama only care about service and food, with no views. Well-intended decoration, but doesn't match the price range of the
The steak and blue salad got me so sick. It was the only thing I had eaten since breakfast and I was terribly sick around 1am in the morning. The salad also was drenched in vinaigrette and tasted woefully over seasoned. It was so sad to spend $30 on a salad only to get food poisoning. Please be careful with the salad from here!

Our absolute favorite place for steak, but the shrimp and grits are another fave! Everyone is so friendly, and even if you have to wait, they are very accommodating.

Our first visit to Char for a birthday celebration. Food was excellent and the service was outstanding. The only negative for me was the website suggesting that there was dress code, business casual. This was nice to know as was my first visit. We learned very quickly, dress code not enforced, thus I would remove that from your website.
Service was amazing and food was even better! They do validate parking for the parking garage. We got the shrimp and grits appetizer. I would definitely recommend this. The redfish sandwich had great flavor. The sweet potato mash is a must. The only thing we don't recommend is the mac and cheese. It lacks flavor. Everything else was great. We will definitely return.

Steaks were under-cooked, repeatedly. The staff did what they could to make things right.

My husband and I have been coming here once+ a week for quite awhile. A week ago we had an unfavorable experience with a waiter, Lolly. I said I never wanted to come back after (between her & the fact it took several tries to get a medium rare steak). Husband talked me into coming back this week with a new waiter.To start, Jeff is amazing, personable and kind, someone give him a raise.The kitchen still could not get a medium rare steak out. By try 3 my husband and I just decided to go home, without food, and cook our own steaks correctly. The manager slid my husband a $50 gift card (thanks, I guess? That wouldn’t cover both our steaks that after 3 times still weren’t correct, but ok?), and then the waitress from last weeks experience decided to let me know she remembered us in the bathroom. Which…was beyond odd given how rude she was the week before & that I had to expressly ask not to be in her section today.Again, Jeff should be a manager here, he kept telling the manager how to properly handle things and the manager didn’t send us home with food, just ??♀️ come back and use this gift card that won’t cover the 2 steaks you ordered.This is the last bad experience we will be having here, in a week no less, because after a year of going here weekly, we will not ever be back. If anyone wants a $50 gift card, we won’t be using it.Update: responding to the owners response. They did take the steak off the bill because after 3 recooks we NEVER GOT ANY. You aren’t doing me a favor by not having me pay for food I never received lmao We sat there for 90 minutes and never ate, can I bill you both our hourly for that? Maybe then I’ll come back. You can easily find my number from the reservation, so you’re not actually interested in me returning

Food was nothing special. The grits were bland and dry. My son ordered chicken, it was dry and rubbery. The waffles and chicken was nothing special. The prime rib was good, the sides were bland. For the price, we expected a lot better. Very disappointing.
