Charleys started in 1986 as a local cheesesteak shop just off The Ohio State University’s campus. Since then, Charleys has expanded into over 600 locations in the U.S. and around the globe. Our goal is to quench your cravings by serving the best cheesesteaks, fries, and real-fruit lemonade in the world.
We’re here to do two simple things: serve delicious food and strengthen our community.
We source premium ingredients, like 100% USDA choice steak*, 100% all-white meat chicken, all-natural cheeses, and hand-cut vegetables—always grilled-fresh-to-order. Our goal is to serve cheesesteaks, snacks, and beverages that you’ll be craving long after dinner is over.
While we’re serving delicious food, we’re also committed to giving back to our neighbors. Our philanthropic foundation, Charleys Kids, delivers grants to non-profit organizations that serve youth through education, mentorship, and food literacy in the United States and around the world. 10 cents from every combo meal sold at participating Charleys is donated to the Charleys Kids Foundation.
