char restaurant

best crab cakes i have ever tried- i especially love how the side greens are seasoned to compliment the dish. myfavoritebutter crunch cake and pecan pie are absolute heaven. great food great service. try it.

wonderful!. i was taken to char on my birthday tuesday and had a great experience! starting with a top shelf margarita and fried crab claws leading to the original cowboy ribeye (cooked perfectly) and chicken piccata. our waitress was on top of everything from start to finish, ending with a surprise dessert (pecan caramel butter crunch) from our server! excellent service and superb food! truly one of myfavoritespots in jackson.

hands down the best crab cakes i have ever tried- i especially love how the side greens are seasoned to compliment the dish.. but myfavoritepart is the dessert! the butter crunch cake and pecan pie are absolute heaven; when i dine with my husband we usually get both and split them because a visit to char would be incomplete without them. the staff is polite and teamwork seems to play a key role in their success.

char always does a great job. whenever i want to impress a guest i always choose char. their food is consistently excellent and they have the best wait staff in jackson.

i love this place. it has recently become myfavoriteplace to eat. the steaks and fish are the best you can find, the wine list is impressive and the service is top notch.

downward spiral.... char used to be one of myfavoritespots when in jackson. the last few visits have been very disappointing. i understand that there has a been a change in management and head chefs.

the menu has been revamped, and some of my favorites are missing. i can live with that. but i stopped in for a light dinner last week and decided to have a salad and crab cakes. soooo disappointing! the salad was comprised mostly of iceberg lettuce (really?) and what tasted like bottled dressing. the crab cakes were good and mostly lump crab meat, but the taste (to me) was just "ok". it just seems that char is acting like one of those national chains, and that ain't good!

lunch favorite. char hit a low point about a year ago. ever since then, the restaurant has really been on the upswing and today was no different. the fried oyster blt has catapulted into one of my top 5favoritesandwiches in the city. oysters, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and louisiana hot sauce combined for a great sandwich. the fries are killer now. gone are the battered, frozen fries. these were crispy and fresh cut. highly recommended.

best steak in town. if you want to have afavoriteplace to eat at i highly recomend them

my first char experience was overall great! with the exception of the rude hostess on the phone when i called to get the lunch hours. as the manager of a fine dining restaurant, i observe everything about the restaurant in which i dine.. first, service was quick, friendly, and to the point. we (my girlfriend and i) were offered a couple of the days specials. i had one, the scallop special while crystal had the sin-city shrimp.. both were perfectly portioned for lunch and the taste was superb. someone in the kitchen cares! we also learned that a few of the desserts come in "2$ bite" sizes, which is a novel idea. we tried all three that came in that size as sort of a sampler. ourfavoritewas the pecan pie, but all three were good.. the praline ice cream stood out to me as well.. try char, i wouldn't suggest calling tho, the young lady on the phone just wasn't up to par.

i eat here with my dad about once a month because it is hisfavoriterestaurant. i like it a lot. the appetizers are delicious. my dad always gets the crab cakes, which are so good. all of the steaks are wonderful, best i've had in jackson. i always get the duck though because it is hard to find on the menu at most places, and char's is really good! finally for desert get either the pecan pie or the apple butter crunch cake... both are delicious!

a+ appetizers. i have had a couple of steaks here, and they were good, but what keeps me coming back are the appetizers! paneed crab cakes, bleu cheese artichoke dip, fried green tomatoes, crab claws, and one of my fave's - their version of bbq shrimp! omg, this stuff is good! but the whole menu rocks. excellent selections from the bar, from designer martini's to a really strong wine list. prices are right in line for service and quality. atmosphere is traditional steakhouse and service is usually good, except when they're crowded, at which point they tend to get a little behind, but the food is worth it. its in a trendy area, so parking is a little sketchy, but not bad. if you're an appetizer grazer, this will be one of yourfavoriteplaces!

char is perfect!. char is myfavoriterestuarant by far. i, myself, am a picky eater and have problems finding things i like at restuarants and at char there are so many options from the apps, to the entrees, to deserts. you have to try it! its a must!

far from being myfavoriterestaurant in jackson, char is an interpretation of the classic american steakhouse. complete with dark woods, leather booths, and a wait staff trimmed in white aprons, char does a decent job of it. however, that sunday night, w
