Charlie Brown's Steakhouse

Wife likes the place, I was ambivalent after our last visit but it was close and convenient so we went and  couple of things happened that culminated, with one minor setback, into a decent dining experience.

We seated ourselves near the bar because there was a intense boxing match in progress involving female pugilists that rivaled any match I've ever witnessed, plus, on a nearby screen was Sportscenter, with analysts critiquing Tiger's game.

The bartender noticed us immediately and came over with menus and queries about drinks. The whole operation went off without a hitch, even with the numerous questions Wifey asks to get the perfect meal.

Salad bar critiqued and approved by Wifey, utensils clean, foods fresh and abundant, no flies hovering about. Wifey was happy with the salad bar and only wanted a baked potato to complete her meal. My meal consisted of a queen cut prime rib that was cooked precisely as ordered and very tasty. The accompanying veggies were fresh and delicious.  

The biggest drawback was the baked potatoes we ordered. The establishment obviously bakes them ahead of time and microwaves them as needed. What we got were puckered potatoes with the flesh near the skin being dry and uneatable.

Overall we got great wait service and great food, aside from the two jacked up potatoes. I really feel they would have honored our request for substitutions if we pressed but they had already honored an expired $10 off coupon at the start of the meal so we didn't force the issue.

Pretty good salad bar. Best thing to get here is the Parmesan crusted chicken! Ok prices

I get the same thing every time I go, steak and frizzled onions and I've notice a decline it is NOT the same anymore the onions used to be full of flavor and the steak was juicy now it's like cardboard
