O'charley's - Aiken

We came in Saturday night and sat in the bar area. We had appetizer, drinks and dinner. Ashton waited on us. Service was excellent. The food , drinks, and dinner were wonderful!!

Mediocre at best. I've been to O'Charley's about 4 or so times in the last 8 months for dinner and lunch. I got something different every time including salads, sandwiches, and most recently, their new bowl. Each and every time the food was edible, but not something I'd get again or recommend. My companions on each occasion said the same thing about their more substantial meals like steak, pork chops, and ribs. Most fried foods like chicken tenders and such are fried way too hard. Oh, but the rolls are really good, BTW, the staff have always been nice and attentive, no complaints on service at all. It's rarely a wait, so if you aren't too picky and want a sit down meal with no wait, it is a choice. Just don't expect too much.

I ordered the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. Either I was hungry OR those were the best tenders and SP fries EVER! I gave them 3 stars because of my wife's California Chicken Salad. This is usually our go-to meal here but she said it was off. They used blue cheese instead of the usual feta. And it threw it off. Also, my son ordered Sprite and it didn't taste right. I took a sipp. I think the syrup may have run out. When I brought it to the attention of the server, she asked what other drink he would like instead of offering to get the Sprite together. Maybe things will be better next time.

The food is excellent. My very favorite is the Fish and Chips. Probably the best in town. You can never go wrong with any of the pies. Was very disappointed that y'all took away free pie Wednesday! Service is slow but every place is right now because no one seems to be able to find workers so that I do understand! But all and all, YUM!

As most places these days, short on staff, but great on service. Chris was our waiter and did an excellent job for our two tables of six. Food was very good and out quickly. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our group goes out every week this will be in our rotation again!
