    Place is located in a nice area of town. Very clean and classy at first sight. Piano music was a nice touch. It was my birthday. After reading reviews about birthday perks my husband booked the reservation and we made the drive from Houston. Both servers wished me a happy birthday but no perks. Although I saw 3 other tables with anniversary cards and they even sang happy birthday to another party. Maybe we didn’t look the part🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ we saw the kitchen manager or maître d’ Whomever he was serve the food to each of the tables that were around us when it came out. He asked each of the customers if everything looked OK and if he could bring them anything else before leaving their table. I was wondering why he did not give us the same service. He did not even greet our table at any time during our service. With that being said The aged ribeye was thin way over priced! We have definitely had better. My husband and I shared as it was 16 oz. Our steak was cut in half although I distinctly asked them not to so that we didn’t lose the integrity of the steak or the juices. Sides did come out very hot and tasty. Dessert was offered to each table beside us and in front of us. The server came out with a example board for each of them. When it came to us, he walked up to the table and said “you don’t want any dessert do you?” Talk about Wow! I was blown away! Why did we not receive the same customer service as the other tables. Kind of makes us wonder. This was not the best experience for my birthday to say the least. We did not feel welcome at all, which is sad. We drove all the way from Houston for the experience. We will definitely not be back.

    The fish special of the evening was absolutely delicious. And, we love the duck gumbo with a deviled egg, and, of course, the wedge and Caesar salads. The service was great and we particularly enjoyed the live music. Thank you!

    I normally have a great dinner at Charlie G’s. However this time the crab cakes did not taste fresh at all. Additionally, the steak I got was not up to the Charlie G quality either. Meat was tougher than usual.
    Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on November 4, 2024
    Hi Austin, thank you so much for sharing your review with us! Could you give us a little more information on your dining experience? Were your crab cakes hot? Could you share more about the steak as well? We'd like to make sure we can take your feedback into consideration for ways we can improve! Thank you again for letting us know about your experience with us at Charley G's.

    Terrific meal with creative menu options. The redfish I had was one of the best fish dishes that I've ever had. And even better was the staff, and in particular our server Connor. He was knowledgeable, attentive and accurate with everything we ordered without writing it down. We're frequent travellers and have enjoyed great food experiences around the world, and Charley G's ranks right at the top.
