I had the rack of lamb and it was cooked to perfection! I also loved to atmosphere. The service was also good. I highly recommend Char for a nice casual dinner.

We walked in and the stench of stale beer smacks you in the face, it reminded me of night club and a not a restaurant. We opted to eat on the patio and we had to ask the server to wipe down the table and chairs. I ordered the prime rib sandwich and requested it to be cooked medium rare.... More

My wife and I came here as part of our 32nd Wedding Anniversary celebration & we were not disappointed. New York Strip was probably the best we ever had! Side dishes (vegetables & appetizers) were fantastic. Service (Ann) was great! Atmosphere was wonderful. Tiffany, the manager was really nice. We will make it a point to come here again when... More

We are here for the first time yesterday and it was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things. The filet was one of the best I have ever had and was cooked perfectly and the service was very good. We will be going back.

We went last on Valentine Day in February. The atmosphere is dark and romantic, the service was quick and always ahead of any needs we had and the food (Filet and Lobster Tail) was as good as any I have had in Cookeville. I highly recommend this for everyday eating or that special occasion.

My wife and I spent the night in Cookeville TN during our current vacation adventure. We chose CHAR due to other TripAdvisor ratings. The food was good but a bit over priced for the quality. The restaurant is very dimly light which made it a bit hard viewing the menu. The portions were large enough to satisfy our appetite though.

Hubby and I have been here several times and have never had a bad meal. The smoked wings are the bomb! The burgers huge and juicy. The crab cakes are to die for and the steaks are very good too.....especially topped with seafood. Servers are friendly and attentive. The prices are high but worth it for what you get. Great...

Filet mignon and Steak seemed a very low quality with almost as much gristle as edible beef. We would not recommend this restaurant.

When the menu came everything looked so good we decided to just order several appetizers and share them. Excellent choice..bartender is also the manager and is friendly and attentive as it... More

Love Love Love the vegetarian quesadilla! My boyfriend had the steak topped with the mushrooms and it looked so good, I had to have a bite...and I don't even eat meat! It was amazing! We sat at the bar and had great service. They will let you try to different calf killer beers that they carry so you can make... More
