Charco Broiler

I have had years and years of family dinners and fond memories here, so I am so glad it was just as wonderful as I remembered. Talk about consistent! In the 20+ years I had eaten here, I’d never had a bad meal. Then to come back and visit and have it be just as good? I’m so pleased! Charco Broiler is an absolute timeless gem that I will always look forward to visiting.

Haven’t eaten here in a number of years. Ownership is still doing a good job balancing value with the challenges facing small businesses today, especially rising food costs and in some cases, labor shortages. My wife had the 6 ounce bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin and I had the 14 ounce New York Strip steak. We ordered both steaks medium-rare and they were cooked perfectly. Many steak houses get that wrong. We started off with salads. Extra charge. Not available as a choice for your one side. Hmmm…..My wife had a Caesar and I had the lettuce wedge. Both were served chilled. Ingredients were crunchy and fresh. Very satisfying. For our one side, we each had the baked potato. Be warned - if you order it “loaded” (butter, chives, sour cream and cheddar) there’s a $2 up-charge. I couldn’t find that disclosed on the menu. Maybe I missed it? For dessert we shared a (huge) slice of their famous coconut cream pie. Very rich and we couldn’t finish the entire serving. Lastly, that 5% kitchen staff surcharge. Annoying, but if you are into reading the fine print on the menu down low in one corner, it’s disclosed. I get it. As I said earlier, restaurants are struggling with cost and labor issues. All in all, the Charco Broiler is still relevant, still provides value, and deserves your patronage. Photos attached.

We enjoyed a luncheon dining experience. Server was attentive, professional and helpful. Menu was varied and portions were plentiful. We ordered filet mignon, chicken fried steak, ribeye steak & hamburger. Dessert was tasty, unique (peanut butter pie & coconut pie) and portions were great. Overall, it was a terrific experience and our party enjoyed dining at a local business with overall high food, service & facility.

Very interesting place for dinner. Our waitress Tonya was great! The food was good, it took us back home. We did need to add salt and pepper otherwise the food was good. The prices were good too.

Deserving of a review because this was one of thee best steaks I’ve ever had!! I do NOT put that lightly! I got an 18 oz NY Strip steak thinking theres no way in hell I could eat the whole thing and there wasnt a speck of food left on my plate. My friend loved her steak and she said the horseradish/sour cream side offered by our lovely waitress was a game changer. The dinner rolls were not the best item, and would probably skip on those next time. However this toffee ice cream cake was insane level good. The decor may be a little on the older side, as is the general vibe of being an old timey casual steakhouse, but dont judge this place by that… the steak was delicious and I look forward to returning soon.

This is a great place to eat, very friendly. Not pushy or overbearing. I absolutely recommend this place to go eat at. When I asked for lemon's, she brought me an entire plate full. That I thoroughly enjoyed in my water. No one has ever done this for me, a giant thank you. It was such a great experience, and we ended up going two nights in a row.

I have to say this place quite literally saved my life. I came in for brunch very hungover from the night before. Kelly our server was the absolute best. It’s been a while since I have had great service. The breakfast was delish, and the steak was so tender and cooked perfectly.

If you’re on a trip and you really want steak from beef country Loveland, Colorado has the best place. Charcoal broiler It is authentic with hand cut juicy cooked to perfection steaks time and time again whether you like it rare medium rare medium well it’s just plain good service is amazing. The waitress is friendly and very good about making you feel special like It’s a hometown feel you’re part of the family comfortable inviting quiet environment open since the late 50s one of the cooks has cooked here for more than 50 years experience is everything when it comes to the authenticity of the food taste and flavor original homemade french fries draft hand craft beer well drinks happy hour 3 to 6 family run. downright comfortable, relaxing, satisfying and inviting atmosphere. definitely double stars all the way through.

This place back in the late 70s and early 80s was so cool. So dark and moody... you couldn't see your hand in front of your face due to the low light and cigarette smoke. Bring that back! WAY too bright. This is a restaurant/bar, not a hospital. Turn the lights down 50%. Easy fix, makes it more cozy. Learn from restaurants in NY, Chicago, and SF. Low light = sumptuous ambiance. Just turn the dimmer down 60%.

This has to be the worst place that I have been to in Fort Collins. The server was really nice and seemed like he was new and adapting to the construction. I ordered the ribeye medium rare, baked potato and salad. The salad had Chex mix on it. Let that sink in cereal on a salad that you add dressing to. The steak came out raw with what looked like spear marks. It was taken back to be cooked again. Then it came back flirting with well done. The steak was grey in color and had no seasoning to speak of. The rib eye was tough to cut and had little to no juice coming from it. The one star goes to the potato. I really do not get how this place is so busy considering how poor the food quality was. I get why the lighting was so low to help hide the fact that the food was bad. Never again.

Very poor experience tonight. My meal came 30 minutes after my wife finished eating. My steak was so undercooked I just brought it home. They said they were sorry. The manager wouldn't come out so speak.

It's a great steakhouse. It's old western pasture/ Spanish-mission-themed, with a dark sky inside. If you haven't been inside, you should! Its beautiful. The menu has a lot of amazing country club/formal steakhouse style items. Steaks, kebabs, comfort food, seafood... the incredible aroma of the restaurant will make you hungry for something! The service varies over the years, but you can be sure to get your steak medium rare when you ask for It. The salads uniquely have Chex on them - don't be alarmed - that's vintage and a part of their history. You can ask for the salad without it. I like It though! It's a very unique and unparalleled experience! Aside from a country club or a hibachi, this is one of the most formal places to eat in town. Dress somewhat formal-casual if you'd like to be taken seriously by its clientele. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need. And the owner is fine receiving direct feedback... it has kept them in business for 30+ years!

I started coming here back in college in 1997, and now we come here every year to honor my fathers birthday. It's a rustic steakhouse with an old school bar that my dad, a Midwest cowboy, absolutely loved. I don't eat steak myself, but my family swears by them. I had lobster tails and they were tasty. My favorite thing here is the pie, which I will have every time. I love the peanut butter pie and the banana. I do miss the chocolate cream and wish they'd bring it back. The service is always friendly and fun, and we always have a great time. It brings us back every year.

Wanted a steak for lunch so decided to head to Charco Broiler. Had not been in about 12 years. We always had a great family time when eating there. It has not changed. It's familiar cozy, dim-lights , western feel was all still there. We ordered a bacon wrapped filet and a new york strip . There are several sides to choose from. We opted for baked potatoes and a side salad. The salad , as before comes topped with Chex mix instead of croutons. We enjoy that. The food was very good. Steaks tender and cooked to order. The service was great and the server was friendly and cheerful. There are several other steak restaurants to go to that are new and trendy( and good) but It's also nice to go to a place where you know exactly what to expect and is nostalgic. We always enjoy our visits to this place and will look forward to our next visit. There are plenty of new

We just had breakfast here. So good. Great service. Fair prices. A relaxing atmosphere compared to other popular Sunday restaurants. The menu has lots to offer. Luch is good too. We'll be back.

I really hate writing bad reviews. Like really really hate it. But there's some stuff that just needs to be said and I hope more than anything that whoever is responsible for the kitchen reads this and takes a note. This place was cool looking and HUGE. It was clearly someone's passion before something happened... divorce was my guess. I had a steak. I gave it the best possible chance by ordering what the signs told me to order and what was the waitresses "favorite steak on the menu". I subsequently got a $35 pepper steak. The steak had clearly been old before it had been frozen, then cooked, then maybe even frozen again... which is such a shame for a steakhouse. They reheated it poorly, as it was also room temperature on my plate. My medium rare steak did not leave a single drop of juice was on my plate when it came out, or after I started cutting into it. It was tough as could be and had no flavor. Think about the texture of a rubber mallet but with the flavor, color, and temperature of an Ahi Tuna steak. NOTE TO CHEF: my steak came with a slice of pine apple. Pineapple is a natural tenderizer. Just a google search will explain it. Humor me please-- leave in pineapple purée over night and season with salt and pepper.

Visited from out of town with my daughter's softball team. There was a very large group of us (30 of us) but the wait staff handled it like pros! We loved the rustic or "nostalgic" feel like others have mentioned before. I ordered the bacon wrapped filet with a baked potato and a side house salad. Everything was delicious-best steak I've had in a while. It reminded me of a place back home that my family used to go to for formal occasions that is no longer in existence so the cozy feel was great. Thanks for a nice evening with our softball family.

Excellent food and service. Steaks are best in town. Sales could use updating as could the restaurant decor, but it has been there for years and feels nostalgic.

Had dinner here last night and it was just ok the steaks were good and service was good but they charged you for kitchen staff an additional 5% of your bill so total of more than 30dollars for a tip I believe this is excessive and won't be going back it just becomes too much on top of 1side only with your steak no value for your money 200$ for dinner of 4 nothing special here.

We went to this restaurant on our holiday visit to Fort Collins, CO, primarily because my elderly father was along and this was an old haunt of his back in the 1970s, and he went to it TWICE during our three-day visit! The second time we went along, and it was really pretty darned good! I say anything that has been open that long (I just learned on their website they opened in 1957! Wow!) is doing something right! Yes, the architecture and decor is a bit OK a LOT dated, as it does not look like it has changed since the 1970s (including the stalactite-style ceiling finish, LOL!). But honestly that gives it a certain charm, and I have to say that stepping into the bar part of it was like stepping back in time, with little nooks with small tables and cozy booth seats, lots of wood trim and carpet! Carpet, I say! I felt like I was in a 1970s movie or TV show! All that aside, the food was very good, if a bit on the traditional presentation side. You will not find any fancy gourmet sounding items on the menu, nor elegantly dribbled sauces or artfully placed garnishes (except for they did have slices of pineapple for garnish, which was an interesting and not unwelcome surprise!). You WILL find hearty fare that sticks to your ribs and tastes good going down! The rolls and butter that come with every meal are welcome, as is the salads that they offered (who would think to put Chex cereal on a garden salad? but hubby said it was delicious!). My five breaded jumbo shrimp were kind of pricy at $27 but delicious, and the baked potato I ordered with them was large and hearty. Dad had a steak, which was not terribly surprising, and hubby had French onion soup, which he raved about. Wish I had the recipe! I splurged for the peanut butter cream pie, because my dad said it was really good, and they brought forks for all of us and he said it tasted just the same as always! I wish I had the recipe; I took home the leftover and ate it in our hotel the next night, and it was STILL fabulous! So yeah, Charco Broiler may be a little outdated and kitschy, but that's half the fun! And the staff was VERY friendly and warm, which is sadly hard to come by these days. Do NOT pass this by! It's near the intersection of I-25 and Mulberry so it is pretty hard to miss (plus the bright yellow sign with the horned steer on it is fairly obvious).

Great old school steak house. Food is very good and it will remind you of the old days. Enjoyed our meal and it was just plain nice to have a good steak with all the trimmings in an independent restaurant.

Came in with some girlfriends after not having been here for years. Glad to see it has lightened up a bit inside instead of being so dark and dungeon like. Food was good salad was good and menu had lots of choices. I will definitely come back here.

Pretty darn good for a high way stop. Don't pass it by on your next trip to the area Good steaks for medium size budget

I love old school restaurants where the waitresses still call you "hun". Service great. Food great. Atmosphere right out of western US circa 1970.

Delicious , 10/10 . Fantastic service with friendly server and great food. The building was older and clean .

Went to this restaurant and it was quaint. Ordered the sirloin tips with linguine noodles, and mashed potatoes, also had house salad. 1st the salad was made out of Frisee, seriously for a house salad and nothing else. 2nd the sirloin tip/linguine with brown gravy, looked liked like a dog took a shit on my plate. The gravy had coagulation, and the tips were soooo overcooked as well as the pasta. 3rd the mashed potatoes. It was Augutin potatoes smashed up with some bacon bits. It was the worst food I have ever tasted in my life. No seasoning, overcooked, and food that made no sense. You could not pay me enough to eat here again. Shame on you owners.

$8 for a wedge salad? A small salad used to come with your entree and it was always good with the funny party mix on top. Apparently that's an extra charge now also. It's only $3, but it says right on the menu that it and a side are included with the meal. The owners have clearly gotten too big for their britches. This has been my favorite Fort Collins restaurant for 30 years but I hate being nickel-and-dimed. I won't got back.

I grew up in Ft Collins and this was one of the best steak places in town. So, when I was back in town, I had to go back and it still has amazing steak-cooked perfectly. So glad it's thriving as it's a staple for that city and hope it continues for many years. I'll be back soon!!

The service was great! I got the chicken fried chicken and it was a little tuff for chicken but the flavor was there. The mashed potatoes were amazing as well as the green beans.

Went out for date night and was delighted. Super old school steakhouse with fantastic food. My husband and I both got steak and lobster with a wedge salad. Everything was on point and perfect. Our server was friendly and in touch at all the right moments. I know myself to be a picky diner so this place really came through and hit all the marks. Can't recommend enough!

Charco is an old time western restaurant. Fort Collins real folk come here. Service is perfect, food is homey. I don't eat steak but I'm sure theirs is great. Definitely not fancy but it's comfortable and has a nice bar. I like to take out of towners there. It has a diner and a formal dining room - your choice.

This is my 500th review, so I wanted to review one of my sentimental favorite restaurants, and Charco Broiler, you are it! My father used to go there when he attended Colorado State University and took me there when I also went to CSU. I was instantly a lifetime fan! My dad and I were feeling nostalgic so we took the 75 mile drive from Denver to see if it was as good as it used to be...and it was!! It's old-school super dark inside, but it's not because they have anything to hide. The food is excellent and they have a steady stream of customers to prove it. The service is friendly and they make sure everything is A-OK. If you go there and you're a meat eater, definitely go for their signature dish, the steak sandwich. It's not really a sandwich, but an 8 oz sirloin steak with a small salad, choice of potato and a toasted roll. $14.95. For a sirloin, it's pretty tasty and tender. They cook it just right too. They tend to cook more on the rare side which is better that cooking more on the overcooked side. It looks like a small steak, but it's plenty filling. For starters, they brought out a small dinner salad. Instead of croutons, they put rice checks on top of the salad. I don't know who thought of it, but it's a great idea. I much refer them to croutons. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy, perfect. For dessert, the peanut butter pie is a must. Every time I see peanut butter pie on a menu anywhere, I try it. I've never found better peanut butter pie than that served at the Charco Broiler. They will always serve as my peanut butter pie benchmark! Matter of fact, I suggest you call a day ahead and order one to go. It'll cost you about $20, but it's worth every penny and every calorie. They have all kinds of other food, but I'm never even tempted to try it. I'm stickin' with the steak sammie! There's a back section with a bar called The North Forty. You can also order food off the same menu in that section. Charco Broiler, you will always have a very special place in my heart and in my tummy!

I was staying in Fort Collins on my way from Montana to Texas. After eating Taco Bell for several days, I treated myself to a sit down dinner. (and picked this restaurant because I didn't have to drive to it from my hotel .) The service was excellent and so was my meal. They even had a real chives for my baked potato! I only had a chopped steak, so I can't comment on how good the other steaks were. But my top steak was excellent. And they had a nice Hefeweizen on tap.

Great food and great service. I wish they had chicken fried steak for breakfast, but biscuits and gravy were great! Would definitely visit again since they are right down the road from our house. Wife happy, kid happy, can't complain. Would visit before Waffle House any day.

The food as always was excellent as well as the service. We wanted a quiet spot so we asked to be seated in the north 40. This was the best location because it was quite and the ambience was fantastic.

Cool, old school steakhouse with a variety of burgers, steak and chicken options. I ordered the Southwest burger. Comes with green chilies and a slice of pepper jack cheese. It tasted ok. I asked for it top be cooked medium and it was well done but that's probably because it was a tiny thin patty. Think Burger King single. It was smaller than the standard slice of cheese. Would've been better off going to 5 guys.

One of the best dining experiences I've had in a minute!!! Food was excellent! Our server was very busy but handled her section fabulously. I would highly recommend if you are looking for great steak!

Great food and atmosphere- the burgers are amazing - we will always come back here when in the area!

Hubby and I have been eating here since we were kids. It's always a must on our trips through Fort Collins. I'll start with dessert, because you must save room for the peanut butter pie. This pie is like no other peanut butter pie we've ever eaten!!! My go to order is always the spinach salad, always with the poppy seed dressing, and with a side of garlic bread. Hubby had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich on our most recent visit, but we can also suggest the pepper steak and steak sandwich as well as the chicken tenders. Don't forget the pie.

5 stars for the steak alone. It was as good as it gets. We had the breakfast steak, which was a sirloin (cut to almost resemble a filet). I do like filet mignon, but I prefer a steak with more flavor and just a bit of chew. This was it. The outside crust was dark and flavorful and the inside was perfectly medium rare and tender. This was served with 2 eggs, an English muffin and spicy fried potato cubes. This is a lot of food for under $15. And it was all great. The eggs, I ordered as over medium. I think this is the most difficult way to cook eggs. At least, very few places get it right. The whites were tender with no gooey bits. The yolk were still loose enough to run when cut, but had just thickened up to the texture of hollandaise. Perfection. Nit pics? I would have prefered my English muffin to have been torn instead of cut (yeah - that is a nit pic). Our server gave us a choice between regular and spicy potatoes. We got the spicy - and, glad we did. The were sauteed with green peppers, jalapenos and onions. Good flavor, but not too spicy for people who worry about that sort of thing. My husband had one biscuit and gravy. The biscuit was very soft on the inside with a nice crust. The gravy was very milky - but a little bland. We wondered if it were ground beef gravy instead of sausage. Still, it was very tasty. But - nothing outshines that steak!

Here's a pros vs cons list from our visit last night. Pros: -Got sat quickly -Waitress was polite -Steak was decent (nothing special, I feel like I could have made it at home) Cons: -Buffalo chicken tenders were raw -Salad was meh -Prices are very high for what you get -Nothing is provided curtesy of the house that I am aware of (dinner rolls, bread, etc.) -No seasoning on "hand cut fries"

Terrible.... my husband had been here before and stated it was very good. After our visit last night he sadly has changed his tune. I had the salmon , dry and flavorless. I ordered a side of veggies (broccoli,cauliflower,carrots and mushrooms) they were soggy and flavorless. The side salad came with cereal on top... My husband ordered the Charco ka bab..,, he has it the last time and remembered it being very good. Not so last night. A few chunks of meat on a stick covered in gravy. No veggies on a ka bab? He had a side Caesar salad which was basically the same as my side salad minus the cereal and carrots. Though we were the only people sitting at the bar we had to ask for drink refills. And the dinner prices are way overpriced for what you get. As a whole this was not a good experience and we will probably not be back

I was craving a char broiled burger and we googled to find one in Fort Collins. We couldn't find anything, so we thought Oh! Charco Broiler! It's gotta be what we want! But nope. I was so disappointed. We both asked for medium well, but got medium. And I don't know why, but my whole burger seemed wet and the bun kept falling apart. The sweet potato fries were very good, but the regular fries were average and a little bendy. My daughter had the chicken tenders and they just tasted weird. Service was good and I love the atmosphere...reminds me of restaurants I used to visit back east in the 70s. I can't think of anything, though, that could get me to go back there. We ate there once years ago and I don't remember being this unhappy.

Whenever I am in Fort Collins for the night in my travels, I try to make sure I come here. Great restaurant! Great steaks! They also do breakfast which is also great. Highly recommend this Restaurant.

Horrible experience!!!! Only giving 1 star because I had to!! Visiting from Texas and this has always been the place we come when in town. We had a large group (16 total) so I called in advance to ask if they could accommodate us. They told us yes, they put us in 2 tables but still near each other. 30 min later they take our drink order. We don't get any service after that. We even let our server know that we have been ready to place our order. She walks past us and states she will be with us shortly and proceeds to take the order of a table that just arrived. We then decided we were just going to leave. We asked for our ticket and were ignored once again. One of the servers came and tossed the ticket on the table and walked away. I understand the process of dealing with large groups but to be rude about it is not okay. I was unable to speak to the manager that apparently was too busy to come speak with me.

This place was amazing. Are there on 11-12-22. My husband had a side salad and the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. Nice and crispy on the outside and cooked med rare inside. I had the cob salad. It was awesome. They make all their dressings in house. I also had French onion soup. Maybe the best I've had. Now for the drinks...I had the Coconut Cream Pie Martini. Uh, it was so good. Also had a dessert coffee with kahlua and Bailey's. My husband had a beer and a local rye whiskey on ice that he said was really good. With all of this our bill was $74. I didn't think that was bad. We will eat here every time we pass through Fort Collins!

We went here in hopes that this place would be a nice relaxed place for a good date night between me and significant other. What we experienced was incredibly disappointing and almost insulting. From the start we did not feel welcome. Both me and her (in our 20s) were younger than the rest of the clientele and were largely treated as such. They first checked both of our IDs repeatedly and denied them first before accepting them as they were unfamiliar with how the Colorado Drivers license looked. After this it took a rather long time for them to make a simple martini and grab a can of beer. When we were finally allowed to order food we had chosen a ribeye steak (medium rare) for me and a steak sandwich (medium rare) with a rock lobster tail for her. After waiting again to receive our food the steaks came out over cooked and chewy and the lobster came out old, over cooked, rubbery and tasting of old seafood. When we brought this up to the manager we had 3 staff in total come by to verify that the lobster was indeed poorly made and that we were not lying. After they removed the lobster (ignoring the steaks and service) they proceeded to tell us that the front door was locked and that we could leave though the back. This felt as if they were physically locking us in the restaurant to ensure we could not leave unnoticed. Overall this place felt hostile to all but their usual clientele, the food was over priced and cooked rather poorly, and we will be sure to stay away as I suggest you do as well.

Excellent place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great for taking a date in the evening and interesting atmosphere. American style food, they been around since 1956? So you can't go wrong here. I never had a bad experience.

Tried this for the first time yesterday and it was unbelievably bad. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Very clean and wonderful service but the streaks were lacking. They lacked marbling and no bone-in options as far as I could tell. But food was not untasty, and everything was good overall. Definitely gave you enough dressing with your salad which is such a rarity these days. As I mentioned the restaurant was clean, and Decor was rather cute. This is the kind of place that your parents or grandparents would probably love to come to.

Oh my - where to start. I ordered the hickory hamburger and sweet potato fries. Everything was presented well and delicious tasting. The service was superb, ie received re-fills without asking as well as just prompt and professional. Then to end the feast I had a peanut butter pie. It was huge and beyond great in flavor. Will I be back? Oh ya! And, I would highly recommend this place to any who enjoys quality food.

Average breakfast, nothing stood out. Service was fine. Very dark inside for all you Vampires lol Would I go back? No, I would try another place for sure

I've lived in FC more than 50 years and the Charco Broiler has always been a reliable go-to restaurant. Not this past Friday night. if I could give a grade it would be C for food and C for service. We were taking friends visiting from WI out to dinner. We had told them how great this iconic restaurant was and that we have been visiting it on and off for decades. What a disappointment! My husband, who had the bacon wrapped filet, was the only person who enjoyed his dinner. My Pepper Kabob, ordered medium, was served well done. Our friends also had Pepper Kebobs, ordered RARE and they were medium at best. The kebob pieces were so small...no wonder they were all over cooked. We were hungry and the restaurant was busy so we ate our food that normally I would have sent back. Kristi was our server. After a friendly greeting, she was missing in action for most of the evening except for an infrequent pass-by asking if everything was okay. It wasn't, but by the time she came by we had been sitting there awhile with our overcooked entrees. We waited for everything...more napkins, water, our check. Kristi wasn't rude by any means, but we were just another table, someone she had to serve whether she wanted to or not. We got the impression she was going through the motions waiting for her shift to be over. To be honest, my husban's filet was cooked perfectly and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad at least one of us had a nice meal. it will be awhile before I go back to the Charco Broiler. A go-to restaurant should be consistent. And it certainly wasn't tonight.

Happened across while looking for a dinner break! Very cool steakhouse/western atmosphere and great service! The steaks were amazing and the wine list is good too. Too full for dessert. I'd like to say next time but we are over 2000kms from home in BC Canada. There is a saloon in front and we were seated in the section for dining called the Back Forty

Charco Broiler is a Fort Collins classic. While not the trendiest place in the world, the Broiler has seen a lot of changes over 50+ years. The hot tip is to request to sit in the 'North 40,' the newest section of the restaurant (as opposed to the coffee shop or bar). The salad is unique, served up with Corn Chex in lieu of croutons. I went with the 10 oz New York which is one of the self proclaimed House Specialties. The steak was cooked perfectly although I probably committed the ultimate sin of adding A1 to some of it (they don't mind here). They were out of baked potatoes before 7, and my substitution of the Gourmet Mashed seemed like they had been heating for awhile. This is a cool, inexpensive steakhouse that you can get into whenever you want. It does show its age but it is definitely worth a shot so you can say you went there. The ambiance and the long serving great staff are worth the trip alone.

My dear spouse and I stopped in for an early dinner here since we were staying at the Best Western next door. Our waiter, Jason had four tables being taken care of when we arrived and he was handling seven when we left, and he was impeccable with service and caring . He suggested ways to enhance what we ordered ( Willies lasagna and a six oz. pork filet). The food was good and tasty and as I said tHe service superb

Always head to the Charco Broiler any time I'm in the area. We will make a special trip from Cheyenne, Wy, just for a good steak at the "Broiler". I have been a regular customer since 1959 or 60, when we 'd go to Fort Collins for the cattle sales. The menu offering is basically the same, plus some additions. All through my college days at CSU, my go-to place was the "Broiler" for their club steak sandwich, which was $1.75 at that time. Still eat that same sandwich, fries & salad(with the original wheat chex on top. Great steaks, salads are always fresh, be sure to try their fresh spinach salad with hot onion dressing! The salmon is delicious, fried shrimp are huge! Oh, but if you can help yourself, leave enough room for fresh made peanut butter pie, or one of their other homemade cream or fruit pies. YUMMY!
