Anyone remember Beefsteak Charlies?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

They used to be all over Manhattan, there was one up by me in Hartsdale, NY. Decent steaks ad reasonable prices, not as expensive as sparks or smith and wollenskys.

FIRE SATHER!!!!!!!

All the beer, wine, and sangria you could drink.

My roommates in college took me to the one on Fordham Rd for my 21st birthday.

I used to go to the one in New Rochelle with my buddies...We'd order the cheapest burgers on the menu and then keep the waitress crazy bringing us all the free beer we could swill down!!!!!

I thought I was goin' big time eating at Beefsteak Charlies when I went to New York and would take in a show.

What I really remember, though, is a Saturday Night Live skit in the early 1980s on "Prechew Charlies" where they pre-chewed the food for you - very funny.

I remember the TV ads. "Beefsteak Charlie" looked just like Hal Linden (Barney Miller)!

Take it easy Clarky

[JustJon]

It's funny, I just thought of Beefsteak Charlie's yesterday because I drove by where there used to be one in Nanuet, NY. Went there occassionally with the family.

When you are a poor, struggling college student, the lure of free beer easily outweighed the mediocre food.

The one in Valley Stream was the site of many a drunken night with me and my High School buddies.

Oh what a world my parents gave me

[Freakshow]

We had one in Fredneck of all places.

It was in the dirt mall, though. And we used to refer to it as Prechewed Charlies.

I don't remember if I actually ever ate there. I think it's a Ground Round now.

We used to have one out here in Long Island near a beach in Bayshore. The building was HUGE! Now it's deserted and a haven for crack addicts. I've never been to it, but always wanted to. That place was the shit (so I heard).

My roommates in college took me to the one on Fordham Rd for my 21st birthday.

That's the one my parents used to take me to. I used to think it was the greatest place.

There used to be one near Times Square, I'm thinking 46th & 8th, just about 8 or 9 years ago. I thought it was the last one left at the time.

[9mileskid]

the last one i remember seeing was the one in the lobby of madison square garden.

stern sucks :)

[Freebird]

I remember going to Rustler's in the Garden State Plaza, before it was enclosed. I don't think I ever got to a Beefsteak Charlie's, but I do remember how annoying that shrimp cocktail commercial was.

[shamus mcfitzy]

Man I remember goin to the one on Ocean Parkway all the time with my pops. Those were some good ribs. And there was the Spider-Man arcade game in the back room. That was good times.

[high fly]

There was at least one in the D.C. area.

I think they went just after Arthur Treacher's.

[CrinkleCrinkle]

I went to the one in Yonkers on Central Ave a few times back in the day. Was it down that far or am I thinking of the same one up in Hartsdale that started this thread?

Was Beefsteak the place with all the peanut shells all over the floor?

That was Ground Round. There used to be one on Rte 17 in New Jersey, near White Castle.

[Justice4all]

There is still a Beefsteak Charlies in Manhatten somewhere. Right on one of the Avenues. I forget which one.
Hell I still remember the guy who was in the commercials. Looked like he was about to join a babershop quartet.
