| - We come here every couple weeks, because it's close by, the food and service are consistently good, and because my son is nuts about their ribs.
To put finer points on all that, let's start with the staff. They are always, to a person, extremely friendly and attentive. I've never once experienced a dud. Your soda and water glasses will never go empty and they'll always serve with a smile.
Now, the food. My only complaint here is they don't do half-sandwiches, and I wish they would, because the portions are huge and there's only so much anyone needs to eat at one sitting. But they are good. The ribs are probably one of the best things on the menu, and frankly, they blow away the crap served down the road at Rudy's and Can't Stop Smokin'. Now, are Charleston's ribs barbecued for hours? No, they're grilled, but they're amazingly tender and flavorful and they taste *good* every single time.
The croissants are like little pillows of heaven. I don't know how they do it, but i have never in my life had croissants as good as these.
Last night I tried the Walt's Champagne Chicken salad for the first time. WOW, what a nice, flavorful, balanced salad. I'll definitely be doing that again.
The potato soup is to die for.
The ambience of the place is fairly typical suburban upper-midscale. It's casual, but if you're wearing flip-flops and pajamas this place isn't for you. Frankly, no place is, but this place for sure.
Two thumbs up from me...this place is a winner every single time.
