text: My mother always said to me If you do not have anything nice to saythen you should not say it Well sorry Mom not going to happen this time I joined some old friends for dinner at Don and Charlies at the recommendation of my friends family To be fair I am a foodieso this might seem a little harsh The first thing I received when I walked into the place was the smell of mold mixed with some industrial cleanerprobably the most pleasant aroma that I had throughout the evening and of course the duct tape all over the old carpet was quite attractiveMy server informed us that she had worked there for yearsWow Unfortunately for her time here she could not answer our questions very well We asked about the socalled Prime beef if that actually meant Prime Grade Beef she seemed dumbfounded and if it was wet or dry agedAlso inquired what was in the rice pilaf vegiesstock etc still no definitive answerwhat size were the shrimp We were not trying to harass the server we have some dietary needs and we were trying to get some entrees and appetizers that we could all shareWe decide on the chopped liverthe rib appetizer and a couple of wedge saladscaesarand a french onion soup to begin followed by salmonNew York prime RibBBq cickenBone in Rib eye and halibut The ribs were not very meaty and extremely tough probably the worst that I have ever hadfrench onion tasted like knorr beef stock and liverand we all love pate was quite frankly disgusting The steaks were ok but not prime grade the salmon was previously frozen farm raised Atlantic salmon the deli cole slaw was decent the creamy tasted ok but exactly like the Colonels The BBq chicken was grossHalibut was soso All and all my review of the place would be outdated cuisine prepared without skill or love but with the same price points as high end steakhouses in the area The place just looks old and tacky with ripped chairs old smelly carpetcrud stuck beneath the tables and servers who are as antiquated as the establishmentComfort food Only if you are comfortable with ghetto crap food Sorry Charlie and Don
