Cheeseburger Charley’s

When in the 100 Oaks area I like to stop at Cheeseburger Charley’s. Sometimes I order a Cheeseburger, sometimes I order a Hot Dog. I have never been disappointed in the taste or quality of my meals — including the fries which are always the way Iike them. The Condiment section is wonderful — they even have several different Mustards to choose from. I love that I can pile up my burgers with as many onions as I want and as much mustard as I want too.
The Restaurant is always clean. The burgers are a little more expensive than other places — but they are good. That is why I always go back.

Nice staff, quick service, good food. Two different veggie burger options, beefalo, turkey burgers, variety of buns (white, wheat, Texas toast, etc), and different sides, including sweet potato fries and baked potatoes. Different from what you’ll get a lot of places, but not so much so that it’s not a burger joint. Nice outside patio.

Unless you enjoy shelling out $ 10 for a burger that tastes like Grade D meat, cold fries and drink then don’t eat here. If price is not an issue, then consider this: dirty floors, tables and from what I could tell — kitchen. Still thinking of going? If you like bland burgers that are dry then you have landed the perfect place! The only redeeming factor for this local chain is the fresh topping bar — make your own burger from the plain, dry burger they just threw at you over the counter. This place is a dump and not worth it. I am shocked at the positive reviews. Oh, and the staff, well lets just say unfriendly — the line cook was yelling at the order taker to shout orders back louder.

Food tasted good. Not a good value. $ 13 for a buffalo patty (no bun), handful of sweet fries and drink.

So after a killer hike yesterday, I was riddled with famine. I had the instant craving for a black bean burger and saw via Unilocal that Cheeseburger Charley’s offered one.
I decided to walk on the wild side and give theirs a try since I was passing it anyways on the ride home from Radnor. This was probably one of the better decisions I made that afternoon. haha. It was insanely delicious!
I ordered the black bean burger sans cheese on wheat. I dressed it myself (which is a def perk of CC’s) with tomatoes, leafy greens, sprouts and pickles. It was THE perfect texture (I like mine a tad crunchy on the edges), full of flavor and for under 8 dollars it came with Baked Lays and a drink.
I will def be returning for that meal… lunch or dinner! Yum.

I wanted to like Cheeseburger Charley’s. I really did. I love the concept… sit-​down restaurant quality burgers done fast with a fresh topping bar so you can dress your burger any way you want. Unfortunately the focus only seems to be on quickness
First off, you must know that the people behind Cheeseburger Charley’s were the same people that started O’Charley’s. Say what you will about O’Charley’s, no restaurant chain has that level of success without doing SOMETHING right. I guess what I’m trying to get at is that the concept is solid. The execution was lacking.
I ordered the ‘beefalo’ burger, which is what I understand to be female buffalo bred to ‘normal’ bovine bulls. It is supposed to be leaner than regular ground beef, but not as gamey or lean as straight ground buffalo. I’d never had ‘beefalo’ before, so I was excited. Unfortunately, leaner only meant dry. I was able to watch the burger being cooked, so I have a fair amount of insight as to why. First, the grill cook pressed the absolute hell out of the burger with the spatula. Yes, doing this cooks the burger faster, but sacrifices all the delicious beefy juices that make the burger great. Second, instead of using the insulating dome alone to melt the cheese, the grill cook used it to further speed the cooking process, squirting water underneath the dome to create steam that speeds cooking, at the cost of ever more flavor as the water draws out the moisture and salt from the burger patty. What could have been an excellent burger was rendered near-​inedible by a grill cook who obviously cared not about the taste and only about the speed of preparation. My wife’s ‘normal’ ground beef mushroom and swiss burger was treated in the same manner, but the higher fat content of her burger meant that it was at least edible, but in all honesty, it was still pretty dry.
In short, the concept is great, but the execution needs some work. The cooks need to take pride in the taste of their food instead of sacrificing it for a quicker ticket time.

This place is great, and delicious. I love the whole concept here, you simply order the bun type, meat type and cheese type and the rest is up to you, with the fresh veggie and condiment bar. It has never disappointed me, and I am sure it will not.
Plus they have a Unilocal sticker on the front door!

Liked the fries much better than Five Guys. There was a nice variety of burger toppings including delicious cole slaw

I work next door to this Cheeseburger Charley’s at Vanderbilt 100 Oaks and they offer delivery to the Vandy facility– however I have only been able to ACTUALLY get my food delivered once from them. I have called no less than 5 times to try to get lunch served and every single time there is some reason I am unable to get my food in a reasonable amount of time. I generally call around 11 or so and am told I can not get my order until after 1 – 1:30 due to the lunch rush which is just ridiculous. Today I called at 10:40 AM and said just bring our order (2 burgers and 1 order of fries) when it is ready and we can reheat and was told it would probably not be until after 12:30 at the earliest! Isn’t the whole point of a delivery service to be convenient for those ordering? I would forgive this issue had it happened once or twice, but it has happened 5 or so times now. I will not even try going forward.

In the search for Great Hamburgers in the Nashville area you can’t go wrong at Cheeseburger Charley’s. They make them when you order them, and they have a nice ‘fixins’ bar. The better half really likes their Turkey Burgers and the fact that they have Sweet Potato fries.
If I was to have to choose between Red Robin and Cheeseburger Charley’s I’d pick Red Robin, but Charley’s is a great place to stop for a burger.

Great turkey burger! The pation is a nice touch to relax on before the heat gets here. You also have to try the onion rings. I order them with my turkey burger to make me feel like I am eating well :)…they are worth it.

Just came from lunch here. Heard the employees talking about Unilocal so I know they value people’s opinions on here. With that said, I wish I could offer a more favorable rating but it was just average today.
Upon arriving — no line at 1:45pm so I think «score» but within 5 minutes I realized I was sandwiched (pun intended) between 7 other orders. After waiting near 9 min, I got my burger — 1 side was dark as in burnt. Burnt but edible.
You could stand there and feel the grease on the burger and fries. I really enjoyed the fries and can see why former Peter Chinn on 21^st ave south kept them around.
Flat screen TV in corner with game on was nice touch. Good location in the plaza — connected to the bank but only the 2 of them in the corner.

It’s been good the two times I’ve been there. They were really nice today and let me take basically a pound salad of condiments home to the sick wife (I didn’t know what she wanted on her burger). The food is a couple of bucks too much but the quality has been good both times.
I get the black bean burger, so can’t really comment on the meatstuff there, but the non-​meat stuff has been pretty solid.

Ok, I’ve eaten here a few times in the past, and again last night, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag of opinions for me. Things i do enjoy about all Cheeseburger Charleys, is that there made to order, great selection of burgers, and of course there toppings bar. I’m HELLA fan of flavor, so i love putting a bunch of stuff on my burgers so the bar is nice. I have had couple of really dry burgers here in the past, so i recommend telling them to cook it medium or even medium rare to ensure a juicy burger. I also like my fries extra crispy and they accommodated that request too. Last night though i went on a limb and order the ¼ Hot Dog, it was very tasty put they cooked it way too long. I’m going to heed my own advice and mentioned to them not to cook the crap out of it next time. Didn’t think i had to do with the Hot Dog but evidently i needed too. Overall not a bad place if your craving a quick burger and don’t want fast food. But to tell you the truth i think Rafferty’s and Logan’s both offer better alternatives in the burger department. Love, Peace and Burger Grease!

I have had one good meal here, and about four bad ones. Today’s meal was the last time I will darken the doorway of this store. As usual, the bun was stale. But the beefalo patty was freezer-​burnt and tasteless. Their fries once were good but now are salty and dry.
The store’s site has no feedback option. In brief, they don’t care about their customers.
