Rave to osceola counties new corporate chain... Charleys Philly Steaks over in Kissimmee where Krystal's use to be by Dyer and W Vine St.
Decided to give the place a try since I was in the area today. I was wanting a good size sandwich and fries and heard they hit the spot.
They are indeed a Philly place with steak and chicken Philly's available. Fries both plain and loaded. Wings and milkshakes.
For my visit I got a chicken Philly (yes I know.. I know.. but had more errands and didn't want a rest room emergency with greasy steak Philly.), cheese and bacon loaded fries, and a strawberry milkshake. The meal came to about $16 which in my book right away set a high expectation. A sandwich spot that hits that price better have good portions and a good taste.
The sandwich didn't disappoint! About 50/50 ratio of meat/toppings to bread. Was indeed large and so filling I could not finish my entire meal. The cheese was melted into the meat and onion and all tasted clean (can tell they don't just dump it in a frier and it's oiled in a pan.).
The fries, though tasty, felt like they were missing something. The fries have a light crisp to them which was good. The cheese is very good, they don't try to spice it or anything, just clean and tasty cheese. The bacon is like fine minced bacon bits... That's probably it.. would be better with real bacon. Overall however, the simple combo tasted good and surprisingly light on grease.
The milkshake took me by surprise. They mix real strawberries in and blend it together. Whip cream and a cherry on top just like they should be. All was light enough to be enjoyed with a straw until to low and wanted a spoon to finish.
Over all I would say 4/5 with the fries being the weakest in the meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the feel and atmosphere of the place. Speaking of they tore out almost everything and rebuilt the insides. Wish more new coming businesses would do that instead of new builds.
Anyways I will be going back next week to try the wings. How about you? How was...
Read moreSo i have visited Charlie's in ORLANDO and have always used the drive-thru, but I was in Kissimmee and since the drive-thru was backed up beyond measure, i decided to go inside, once inside i noticed one of the employees say how did they get in here.... so one girl comes out and locks the doors.... we order, and the guy after us is eating in.. and he gets his food first, and we were at the soda machine, and the taste of the liquid was rancid.. so we told the young lady. ... well the guy brings his sandwich back to the counter, it wasn't what he ordered, but in fact was what we ordered... so two terrible things happened... they choose to serve him over us.. and it was incorrect. And after that they chose to give that food to me... i watched them throughout the whole situation.... trying to find a way to serve me food that had already been touched by another customer... and the plate disappear from my sight... and about 5 minutes later a plate appeared.. but i wasn't sure if it was the same sandwich... and we had to leave.. so I left and threw all the food in the garbage.... this has been the worst experience at Charlie's..... t **added 06-16-2021 I was told to email themin these comments... no one ever replied back to me, just trying to make it LOOK LIKE THEY...

Charlie's Cheesesteak is a true gem that has become our go-to spot for both hearty lunches and sweet treats. The star of the show is, of course, their mouthwatering cheesesteaks, but what really sets this place apart is the complete package they offer.
From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by genuinely friendly staff who make you feel like part of the family. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes every visit enjoyable, whether you're settling in for a full meal or just stopping by for a quick ice cream fix.
Speaking of ice cream, their dessert selection is the perfect way to end any meal. Having the option to pop in just for a sweet treat makes this place even more versatile. It's rare to find a restaurant that excels at both main courses and desserts, but Charlie's pulls it off beautifully.
