Char is a nice looking place – the kind you bring a date or your in-laws to. It’s not exactly super fancy, but there’s definitely good food to be found here. It’s themed around whiskey, with a decent selection of some typical 18 yr olds and some small batches. The food is all smoked and meant to be paired with whiskey. Ribs are the popular dish here, and are definitely worth trying. Don’t expect true Southern BBQ style though, as these ribs are super smoked and slathered with a gravy sauce. Still, very tasty.
quite possibly the best jalapeno cornbread i've ever had. so good that this one was ordered extra to take home.
not the most tender ribs, but super tasty, great smoky flavor, and good seasoning
typical chicken over greens dish, but extra smoky, with bacon-y bits on top
i'm a whiskey guy, but more of a "neat+water on side" than on the rocks. but this place, does rocks proper. nice snifters also.
