Alpha Charlie's Tap & Tavern — Restaurant in Centennial

Like many restaurants nowadays, they don't bring you a menu, instead leaving you a barcode to download their online menu. The downloaded menu was not accurate. I tried to order a sirloin from the menu, only to be told "we don't have that". Then I selected their ribeye from the menu, to be told "we don't have that either". So, I settled for their version of the Philly Cheese Steak, and then tried to order their Pecan Crusted salad, to be again told "we don't have that", after which I asked if they had a house salad, which they did. I was overjoyed to discover that they actually had Bleu Cheese dressing for the salad! I was quite exasperated with the ordering process, but you can't sell what you don't have, so I guess they were happy to lose the extra $25 they would have made from me had they actually HAD what they advertised on their menu!

Otherwise, the food I actually got was tasty and properly prepared. The Philly Cheese Steak had a hint of Chipotle in the bun dressing... not a bad angle for the Cheese Steak. The house salad was fresh, and the iced tea was good. Wish I could comment on other choices but "they didn't have that"!

Service was prompt and my glass was refilled immediately when empty. The staff was cordial, but not super friendly, appearing to prefer their own company. The music was just a bit loud with a good variety. The waitstaff, while attentive, were grouped at the end of the bar and were enjoying a loud convo over the music. Not a problem, but I found it a bit interesting.

This is set up as a sports bar, with many televisions and a casually dressed staff. It is a bit noisy for a friendly meal discussion, but would be a great place to drink beer and order tasty snacks during a game.

I would visit again, although with lower expectations for dining menu choices. Be flexible if you go... they "might not have...

For the quality and proportions, the food is a bit pricey. I am no chef but I do have some critiques. For lunch, my wife ordered Teriyaki Salmon ($23) and I ordered the All American burger (18). I would have appreciated the option of choosing the tempature of the burger patty. When it was served, I would say that it was somewhere between the rare and medium rare temp. It seems that the patty was allowed to rest on the bun as well because a lot of the juices leaked and made the bun soggy. A red, soggy bun is not very appetizing. I believe that flattening out the patty a little more would have produce a more consistent tempature throughout the patty and would have reduced cooking time. For the Teriyaki Salmon; I don't believe that there are any claims of the salmon being glazed with Teriyaki sauce, but I think it's kind of expected. That was the case for my wife and I. Not a huge deal but you have to really like Teriyaki sauce if you order this. My wife's rice, side dish (veggies), and salmon were laying in a "pool" of runny teriyaki sauce. She ended up ordering more rice to balance out the rice that was saturated. The waitress came out once to check on us after we were served and again to gather our plates and bring the check out. Another thing to note is that it took over 30 minutes for our food to be served after ordering. Overall, the food did taste pretty good, but, for us, a few tweaks would have helped made the experience a lot...

AWFUL SERVICE --- Okay Food and over priced ! Took 3 of my staff members to lunch to celebrate being back to work post Covid. All 4 of us ordered and a few minutes the wrong drinks came out. 45 Minutes later 3 lunches where brought out. When server asked if we needed anything else we pointed out only 3 out of 4 of us had lunch. The server stormed off without a word. Another staff member was asked for a plate so we could share food and the server returned to fling the plate on the table. I then pointed out that she also brought out the wrong beverages and she started to argue that she was correct and huffed off. When the check did not come to pay we asked several staff members for the bill. Ryan the manager came over with the bill and an apology but when I looked at the bill I was surprised and pointed out that the incorrect items where not removed and nothing was comped. At this point he asked if it was my first time there and I affirmed it was. He argued and stated that he remembered that the last time and " caused the same trouble "Sorry Ryan the Manager this was my first land last visit but it sounds like customers give you plenty of feedback on your lacking service. . Lanai the server has the wrong job and is not suited to be a server if she thinks tantrums are acceptable in...
