Text - How shall I start this...\n\nI booked the reservation online via Open Table because it was one of the only restaurants open on Christmas. I primarily chose it because of the price and the fact that their website stated that they were offering a Christmas dinner menu AND their FULL REGULAR MENU. Unfortunately after being seated we found out that their website was in fact incorrect and that they only offering a select amount of items from their regular menu in addition to the Christmas special. The menu was also printed on some sort of 8.5 x 11 piece of toilet paper that probably came from Eddie's bathroom.\n\nThey opened at 5 PM and by 6:30 they were completely out of one of the dishes that we had ordered so we had to select something else that was ultimately more expensive. The bread they served us was cold in the middle like it had been frozen and recently thawed out. Two people from our table ordered the chicken tenders appetizer which were basically deep fried little turds. One person ordered the salmon which was nothing special and I had the prime rib. The prime rib and the butternut squash bisque were the only things that made this dinner bearable. \n\nThroughout this entire meal we saw our waitress, Stephanie only twice. Once to take our orders and then again to deliver the check. \n\nWhen we received our checks at the end of the night the bill was outrageous...\n$18 for a margarita with a splash of amaretto and a dried out orange slice is ridiculous. The menu listed the salmon for $26 but we were charged $28 and they automatically added 20% gratuity for a table of 6 people. Normally I would not think twice about this, especially if I had received great service but not for a server that never bothered to ask us how our meal was.\n\n...and Eddie was blatantly cursing at his staff in front of customers which included my 11 year old cousin who was visiting from Iowa with her family. Cool.

Text - The party ain't over until all the grotesque regulars at this horrid place come a running. Seriously I think this place is long over due for a shut down. It's dirty, smelly, the food is absolutely terrible, and the atmosphere is a tragedy. They'll lure you in with the idea of live bands playing yet all it consists of is a bunch of weird drunken regulars that get absolutely trashed on stage and  can't perform. Seriously this place is a dive bars worst nightmare. They don't even have any drinks on tap and don't get me started on the Nintendo room it looks like a creepers dream palace because it's unfathomably weird and may be the most unsanitary place in the whole restaurant. Seriously one call to the health department can totally shut this place down I'd advise it ASAP. Save your money and time people, there are much better areas to go and listen to music and meet people, I'd advise any other place but here.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Being a vegetarian I did not think Charleston's would have much for me. It turns out that I was right, HOWEVER, what they did have for me was actually very simple but amazing!\n\nI had a business meeting today with a vendor and my biz partner. We all shared the spinach artichoke dip, which was super tasty and a great portion size. The chips were nice, warm and fresh and the dip came with salsa and sour cream on the side.\n\nI had a house salad sans the bacon plus avocado for my entree and a baked potato on the side. I opted for the creamy garlic dressing and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! The salad was fresh with egg, carrots and chopped tomato and the avocado made a nice addition.\n\nThey cover their potatoes in sea salt.. its pure genius. I'm serious. Genius. All I needed was a little butter and sour cream and I was set.\n\nOur waitress was very attentive but not super friendly. She had a new iced tea out to me before I was halfway done with the one I was currently drinking. Great service but I have had to make five trips to the bathroom since.\n\nThis is a pretty good place for a business lunch but I wouldn't come here outside of that because I normally like something a little heavier for dinner and its a tad on the pricey side, but hey, I didn't pay so what do I care?
