Reviews for O'Charley's Restaurant & Bar in Bristol, VA
The food was pretty good but the server was not. We told her when we ordered it for that we would get an order to go when ours... came out. A different person brought the food and our server never came back to fill drinks or check on us until she brought thecheck. Then we had to wait on the to go order to be made. We asked for 2 sweet teas to go since she hadn't refilld our glassesall night and she gave us 2 iced coffees?!? At least that's what we think it was. Otherwise the food itself was very good.

Food was good and waitress was friendly and efficient.
My neighbor asked me to join her for drinks & dinner. I don't frequent chain restaurants & my visit here reminded me of why. We... sat at the bar. Although no one had been sitting there when we walked in, the bartender had to clean the surface when we satdown. We ordered drinks & my neighbor ordered an appetizer sampler while I ordered the fried seafood platter. She nibbled on thesampler. I tried one of her fried cheese wedges. The outside was sickly pale & not crunchy. There wasn't much flavor. On myplatter, the shrimp were quite salty - I didn't eat many. The mini deviled crab were all breading - again, I didn't eat but one.Thankfully, the fish was surprisingly good & I ate 2 pieces. I selected the sweet potato casserole for my side & it was awful -didn't eat that either. I actually ate something out of my fridge when I arrived home. I definitely won't be returning to thisrestaurant! Read more
The food was good and the service was solid. I would say the only irritating item was the chairs around me and basically the... entire restaurant were up before I even ordered my food. Service was great and bartender didn't rush me. Even offered dessert. I felt like the manager wanted me to hurry up and leave. I literally was leaving ike 10 minutes after closing time. I orderedabout 35 minutes before closing. I will pick a different restaurant that late next time, but probably vist if I can get therean hour earlier. Minus that it would have been 5 stars. Read more
When I ordered my food, i forgot to order sauces on the side. While I didn't mind the sauce on my sandwich, it was a little... heavy in a flavor I'm not fond of. Our waitress, Tina, stopped by to check on us and noticed I hadn't really touched much of myfood. When she learned I didn't care for the sauce, she made sure my entire meal was remade with sauces on side. I trulyappreciate what she had done. She made our experience that much more enjoyable. Thank you, Tina! We appreciate you! Sincerely,Table 30 - 06/12 Read more
First time here and was impressed! Food was so good, the salmon is awesome, and the service was great! Enjoyed the $5 drinks and... the chocolate covered strawberry martini was the perfect end! Can?t wait to try something else on the menu next time we stop! Read more
Visited Bristol this weekend for family visit. We stopped by O?Charley?s for dinner. We were seated immediately and greeted... promptly. Hot rolls and drinks were brought out within minutes. I normally order the prime rib but O?Charley?s has taken thatoff the menu. So from the recommendation of our server, I ordered the balsamic chicken from the new menu items. A large thinchicken breast was grilled and served with asparagus, tomatoes and cheese and then drizzled with a balsamic glaze. Chicken wasmoist and seasoned well. Toppings were grilled and crisp. Balsamic glaze was?well perfect! When you took a bite with allingredients involved it was a flavor explosion in your mouth! Steamed broccoli was perfect, just needed some salt. Mashedpotatoes were warm and moist with a nice flavor. Rolls were piping hot! Light and fluffy! Servers were friendly and attentive!Best O?Charley?s we have been too in a long time! Thanks for a great meal! Read more
This used to be a great place to eat. My sweet potatoes were cold, lumpy, and old. The server was dressed in street clothes but... he was nice to us. The chicken tenders were as good as they always have been. I had broccoli with no seasoning, and balsamicchicken with no flavor. Read more
