Later, 'gator: A Philly outpost of the Jersey steakhouse chain, Charlie Brown's Steakhouse, has moved into the old Al E. Gator's in Berwyn and managed to do away with any leftover TGIF feel that might have lingered in the woodwork. Unlike most steak joints, Charlie Brown's dining room eschews dark woods and heavy appointments, opting instead for a lighter, less "good ol' boys" club feeling. The menu, however, is as manly as you might expect. The lightest thing you'll find is a precious treatment of salmon that involves lemongrass and Asian coleslaw. For the most part, you'll find a wide range of top-notch beef dishes (CB's proudly boasts that it serves only Founders Reserve beef), with some seafood and chicken thrown in for good measure. Definite musts are the horseradish-crusted prime rib and the filet mignon topped with blue cheese. The salad bar is also a treat, especially since even the side dishes are on the heavy side. Then there's the to-die-for concoction: creamy New England clam chowder served in a scooped-out bread bowl. The family-friendly feel at Charlie Brown's suits the name, and even the bar scene is relatively subdued.

  • why is it so totally packed?

    Review rating : 4out of 5   Cccarr esq - 02/17/2009

    If it is so bad, why then is it so totally packed night after night. All the other businesses around it (Circuit City and Oscar Huber Furniture) are going out of business and yet Charlies in Devon just keeps on cooking along (pun intended).

    I have eaten at the one in Berwyn a few times and the last time will be my last. the service was horrible, appetizer came out insanely late and it was a cold appetizer, there was no need for it to be late.. IT's called the server forgot. I ordered the ribs, because I love tryin ribs at different places, and they were the worst ribs EVER!! Never again, there was nothing enjoyable about that place :(

  • Not a steakhouse

    Review rating : 3out of 5   JRL1194 - 06/11/2008

    As a corner, INEXPENSIVE chain restaurant, it's Ok but I would never call this a steakhouse.
    Their salad bar used to be one of the best until about two years ago they stopped serving their very good bread and (permanently) substituted some really BAD dry bread and rolls, what a shame.
    Steaks are just fair to OK, at best, certainly not worthy of a steakhouse name. The best deal here is the giant cut of "Prime Rib", not bad, for 20 bucks.
    I eat about a 1/3 of it and take the rest home! Good for at least three normal meals and for budget minded eaters it's not all that bad.

  • Consistent for years!!!

    Review rating : 5out of 5   mgig5050 - 02/20/2007

    I've eaten at the Charlie Brown's chain since the 70's. First at the Jolley Trolley in Westfield, then Good Time Charlies and Charlies Brother and Charlies Other Brother (had my rehearsal dinner there) before it became "Charlie Browns". The prime rib is still the best and most consistent we've found. Many other high end steak joints have disappointed us; but seldom have we had a bad meal at Charlie's in 100+ visits.

    Review rating : 2out of 5   jenniferlauren26 - 02/20/2007

    I'm surprised they're even aloud to call themselves a steakhouse...last time we went their the steak was horrible!

  • Never a disappointment

    Review rating : 4out of 5   repo6866 - 02/20/2007

    I find it interesting there seems to be two very different groupings to the reviews, those who love it vs. those who don't. Having eaten at both the Maple Shade and Mt. Holly (both NJ) locations numerous time, I can't recall having had an unpleasant experience at either although Maple Shade is small and can be quite crowded at times. The food has always been outstanding with good/very good service. Like any resturant, service is only as good as the staff management employs. Could this be the reason for some of the poor reviews?
