2 Stars: Don & Charlie's just OK (by Mark C.)

Went to dine on a Friday night and was sat very quickly. The servers look to be on their death bed, nobody was under 50. Ordered a pork chop and half rack of ribs, which was very pricey and not worth the money. Felt like we were stuck in the 70's all night, the music was cheesy and annoying. My wife and I (age 30) were by FAR the youngest people in the restaurant. Our server smelled like smoke and had nasty teeth. This place has the atmosphere, but needs some youth.

This is where a lot of up scale people like to dine. They have some of the best steaks and seafood around. It has a sort of refined sports theme but its very nice.

We were taken to Don and Charlies by a friend who always goes there when he is in town. The food was excellent. I had the pork chop and it was grilled to perfection. Our friend had the ribs and they were just great. The service was attentive without being intrusive. And we could carry on a conversation without shouting, even though the restaurant was packed, because the acoustics were great.

Don & Charlies has the best beef outside of Iowa. If your from the Midwest and looking for some good beef, look no farther. Don and Charlies has won many awards for their excellent food.
