Nestled in Beckley, West Virginia, Char’s restaurant offers a delightful dining experience highlighted by its picturesque views and inviting atmosphere. Guests consistently rave about the attentive service, particularly from staff like Theresa and Donna, who make diners feel at home. While many dishes—such as the brascioli, salads, and buttery fettuccine alfredo—receive high praise, experiences can vary, especially with steak preparations. Despite a few disappointments, the overall sentiment reflects a strong recommendation for travelers seeking a memorable meal. With a diverse menu and charming decor overseeing a serene lily pond, Char’s is a must-visit culinary gem.

Doesn’t live up to all the praise.. it should have been a sign on a Saturday evening that the dining room was 3/4 empty. Outback likely would have been better quality and less than half the price. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

When in Beckley, WV look no further than The Char for your fine dining experience. While dining ask for Theresa or Donna because they will make you feel right at home. The Char offers an amazing setting against a nice pond and wilderness. With plenty of windows you feel like you’re at a cozy retreat as you enjoy delicious food. My experience has been with dinner both with business meetings and personally. I highly recommend a variety of dishes from the steak to crab cakes to salads to tiramisu. As you travel southbound on the WV Turnpike make a detour to this fine establishment!

We were visiting from out of town and looking for a nice dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food at Char's. Theresa, our waitress, was exceptional. When we come back to this area, we will definitely be dining at Char's again.

We were looking forward to a nice dinner and my filet was a disappointment. Asking for it to be cooked medium, it came out more than done, not any pink whatsoever. The replacement was only slightly better. My husband enjoyed his salmon and the vegetableswere nicely seasoned. The cherry bread pudding was also lackluster. The waitress did all she could to make it better bydiscounting the meal and not charging for the dessert. The atmosphere is pleasant, my only suggestion is to not order a steak.
