Charlie Blood's

My first visit to Charlie Blood's definitely won’t be my last. We started with the baked clams, which were fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. The bar pie was exactly what you want from a classic Jersey tavern pie—thin, crispy, and packed with flavor. For mains, the steak with shrimp scampi was outstanding. The steak was cooked perfectly and the shrimp scampi added that rich, buttery garlic flavor that made the whole dish stand out. The Drunken Onion Burger was another highlight—juicy, loaded with caramelized onions, and just downright satisfying. The owner even came out with some of their dessert options to try which ended the night perfectly. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience made for a great first visit. Safe to say I’ll 100% be back to try even more on the menu. If you’re in the area and looking for great food in a classic local spot, Charlie Blood’s is absolutely worth the stop.

What a spectacular place! 6 of us walked in to the quirky little bar and were directed to walk through the kitchen (yes, the kitchen) to the main dining room. As strange as this sounds I like when a restaurant has nothing to hide! I felt like I was walking through a family members kitchen. The staff here make you feel like a part of their family, every person working that night came to our table to see if we needed anything, made great recommendations, or just stopped to say hi. Now to the food, we started off with a few apps for the table. We had stuffed clams, buffalo wings, salad, pizza, and cowboy shrimp. All of them were delicious but the pizza and shrimp were outstanding. The pizza was light but crispy with delicious gravy and perfect amount of cheese. The shrimp had to be about 4”, breaded and tossed with hot peppers (not crazy hot) and some kind of glaze, ridiculously good. Everyone at the table had some kind of steak. I had the 12oz ribeye with shrimp scampi. It was perfectly cooked (medium rare) and seasoned just right (nothing overpowering) This steak was better than most higher end steakhouses. The shrimp scampi was excellent as well. My friend ordered the beefsteak platter which was also very good. Just like a beefsteak fundraiser, little slices of bread with sliced steak on top. We all had food to take home, the portions are big! We will definitely be back to Charlie Bloods, this truly is a hidden gem!

In the mist of a conversation with some friends the topic of the Clifton high school beefsteak fundraisers came up and we all remembered them fondly and missed them greatly. I said a restaurant should serve them and someone mentioned that Charlie Bloods in Garfield has them. A few weeks later…. Looked a little funky from the outside and when I walked inside it was bizarre, I loved it. The bartender asked if we wanted to sit at the bar or dining room I asked where is the dining room and she pointed at the doorway leading into the kitchen, yes you walk through the small kitchen to the dining room. I found out later that there is a seperate entrance to the dining room. They have some local breweries on tap; Ghost Hawk & Hackensack and to be fair I had one of each. My sidekick had wine and when you go into some of these pretentious places and they properly pour you a 1/3 of a glass of wine not so here; fill it up to the brim! Yes, why waste all that space in the glass! We ordered the wings to get started and then the reason for the visit; Beefsteak Platter! It was great! Nah a little better than great, magnificent! Definitely will be back! Best of all the bill came and for 4 drinks, wings and a beefsteak platter $51. WOW!!!!!!!!

Hands down the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant I’ve ever been to! You walk into what feels like a cozy dive bar, but when you ask to sit in the dining room, they take you through the kitchen to the back—and wow, it’s like stepping into a hidden gem packed with memorabilia everywhere you look. I didn’t even know where to start taking it all in! The owner personally went around to every table, greeting everyone and chatting with us about the history of the place—which alone deserves 10 stars. Every single dish we tried was absolutely fantastic. The baked clams were massive, and the garlic clams in that buttery garlic sauce? I could honestly drink it with a spoon. Then came the steaks—perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. To top it all off, the chef came out to greet everyone too and asked how everything was. It’s such a rare touch that made us feel like family, like we’d been regulars for years. And for the kids—there’s even a fun little scavenger hunt, which is such a cute idea! If I could give Charlie Bloods 20 stars, I would. This place is full of heart, history, and seriously good food. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely wonderful dining experience!!! This family owned and operated establishment is a true gem! The food was delicious, nicely portioned, and excellent quality! The staff is a multigenerational family and so incredibly kind & full of amazing stories! It is a must try!

***4 1/2 stars*** I knew this was going to be memorable; I didn't know it was also going to be a really good meal. My top-tier chum and I stopped by here on Saturday afternoon for lunch, both famished and in need of sustenance. I was given the honor of picking the spot, and this was on the radar based on a behind-the-paywall nj.com article from a few months ago - boxing-themed old-school steak/Italian joint? Cash only? Sign me up. Totally worth my three-month free trial. My only real regret was that we inadvertently came in directly to the bar, bypassing what I imagine is a pretty astounding, eccentric dining area. The bar had quite a look as well, but we probably lost out a bit on the overall experience. I'd also like to come back in slightly warmer weather to lounge outside on what looks to be furniture recently removed from a house - this is not official outdoor patio stuff by any stretch. My chum loves sitting at bars, so we barely gave the high tops a look and settled in right in the corner closest to the door and made ourselves at home, taking in the myriad pictures and boxing gloves on the wall. I was really on the fence about what to get; a steak seemed like the obvious way to go, but my heart wanted the chicken parm. It was the right call and given how much I read about the steaks, really underrated. I thought this was an excellent dish. I'm always apprehensive about trying a new chicken parm because the sauce is the real equalizer - there are some rough ones out there. This was really good though; meaty without being chunky (huge pet peeve) and the perfect accompaniment to the chicken. The only slight issue they have with this chicken is that the coating comes off too easily - the bottom breading fell off immediately when I'd cut off pieces, so then I'd have to search around for it amidst the meaty sauce. Worse ways to go, but I'd try to come up with something to keep the coating on a bit longer. Also as you can see, a gigantic portion. I finished the entire meal because I'm an animal but my chum (who got the sandwich version) had another lunch essentially packed up for her. The service was top-notch as well; the bartender was very nice and actually comped my chum's second beer. Despite both getting legit entrees and drinks (I went with some house wine, nothing crazy), we each paid a little over $30 with tip. Great bang for the buck. We also had the pleasure of listening to some real salt-of-the-earth patrons sporting their Garfield, NJ shirts who clearly spend a ton of time here. No judgment. Before this adventure, my experience in Garfield involved a few quick forays down 46. No longer. This is going in the rotation; just make sure you have your legal tender handy.

Found this place on the recommendation of the owners of another steakhouse who recently retired. I was traveling on business and didn’t know the area, so I took their advice and I’m glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was genuinely welcoming and kind. I ordered the 16 oz ribeye, and what arrived was clearly larger than advertised. It was cooked perfectly with a great char on the outside while maintaining a true medium rare inside. I also appreciated the John Wayne theme throughout the restaurant. There’s something timeless about it, and honestly, a bit of that influence feels necessary in today’s culture. Great steak, great atmosphere, and a place I’d absolutely return to.

Such a great place! Family atmosphere and love, the best steak I've had in anges and the attention of a family restaurant.

Parking is a bit tough, but we'll worth it once you get inside. Old School steakhouse, divey bar vibes but still feeling like a friendly family owned establishment. We were craving steaks and have grown tired of the typical chains and don't feel like spending an arm and a leg for an overpriced NYC type experience while still being in NJ. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Del Frisco's tomahawk but it's nice to have something closer to home. Charlie bloods hit the spot, from their clan appetizers to the bone in ribeye we devoured, cooked perfectly to temp and seasoned well. Didn't have to sell my child to eat here and the servers were so friendly. There was a big group but we had a tall table with stools to ourselves. Fun and great spot to get a steak!

So much fun! Great food and fabulous service. Our bartender was amazing! The burger was so big and juicy - cooked to perfection! Love the nostalgia and photos. The back room was a hidden gem!

It don't get much better than this place. Had an awesome Saturday night dining in at Charlie Blood's. The walls are filled with history and sports memorabilia. My boyfriend has been dying to go to this iconic cash-only establishment much to my initial skepticism, but I must admit defeat, this place blew me away. Our server Lisa was the best and had as laughing all night! The cheese pull on the bar pie - my kinda bar pie. The wings came out piping out and crispy with the vinegar from the buffalo sauce suffocating us with every inhale. Let's go. The "Duke" - 24oz ribeye with a side of onion rings (up charge). 24oz at their price in this economy right now? What? Onion rings for the up charge is a must. Do it. We ordered another order of onion rings to take home and a slice of chocolate mousse pie. But again shoutout to the Lisa for an extra slice! Absolutely the best. I NEED THE ENTIRE PIE NOW. AND A SPOON.

Just came back from Charlie Blood's with my family. WOW! what a delicious meal we all had. There was 4 of us. I ordered the Rib eye stake, man it was so big & delicious another person ordered the Beef Steak & she ate the whole thing & said it was fantastic. The other two people ordered the God Mother that's shrimp, chicken, eggplant. They said it was great!!!! All the food was "GREAT" Coming back again & BIG portions!!!! Highly recommend this diamond in the ruff. Wish I can add a picture but sorry I ate it all.

Well what can I say . A true gem , my first time visiting but not the last one ... I felt welcomed from bartender to server and all the staff that we had contact with .. AMAZING

I've been wanting to try this place for a while because their menu items seem like such a great deal. Where else can you get a 24 oz. ribeye for $30.95?! Unfortunately, the food was just very meh. Our party of five (including a baby in a stroller) came in on a Saturday at around 1. There are two sides of the restaurant - the bar side, and the 'family' side, which is the dining room side. It was empty at that time on the family side, so it was kind of nice to have the place almost entirely to ourselves. We ordered: -Clams on the half shell - I was afraid these wouldn't be fresh but they were actually pretty good -24 oz Ribeye - we added peppers, onions, and mushrooms for $3. We asked for medium rare but it was pretty much well done. There were a lot of burnt edges because the steak was mostly fat. So while it doesn't have a bone in the 24 oz, probably about a third of it is fat. The peppers tasted a little sour -Seafood Platter (shrimp, calamari, mussels, & baked clams) - -50/50 Cheeseburger (chopped bacon mixed with Angus beef) - this came on a hoagie, and the bread was just not good. The patty was a little dry for something that has chopped bacon in it. The burgers also don't include lettuce, tomatoes, or onions. We upgraded to onion rings for $2, and at least the onion rings were good -Tracy's Philly Cheesesteak - we actually ordered this later on and regretted it. We should have known that it would come on the same bread as the hamburger. There also wasn't that much meat so it wasn't worth it for $14.95. The meat comes in strips (as opposed to thinly sliced/chopped like an actual philly) and was kind of dry. So actually, maybe it was a good thing that there wasn't that much meat in the sandwich. The fries it came with was the best part of the entire meal because they were battered fries -Ripper - I think this was a weekend special. We got the one served with peppers, onions, and chili. At $3, this was worth it, and it was a solid ripper I'm happy I got to try this place, but it just wasn't great. I don't know if the bar side is also western themed (which was fun), but if it is, I can see it being a cool place to grab a drink and some fried bites, like the fries and onion rings. I don't think I'll be back though.

Prime rib was amazing. Beautiful piece of meat, cooked to perfection. So good and tender it melted in your mouth. Decor is fun and amusing with old time nostalgia of the boxer Charlie Blood, movie posters of mainly John Wayne , puppets from the sixties and so much more. A little bit of everything and so much to see. The server was the best and so attentive.

Very interesting place. You could spend the whole night just looking at the memorabilia ion the walls I loved it. The staff is great as far as the food goes I've had better steaks but spent 4c as much. Loved the roasted potatoes and the pumpkin cheesecake. I will be back.

This a 5 star review because it hit all of the check marks. You simply cannot get the same value you will get here anywhere else. Firstly, the staff is family, and very welcoming and accommodating. They Truly care about the restaurant, its legacy and there food A very comfortable environment with 80's/90's country music playing and a homey feeling dining room. I felt like I went to my first cousins for dinner and coffee. Our waitress was one of the owners and helped me select some craft brews they offered. Very generous and appreciated. The Buffalo Wings are excellent. Cooked right and in a thinner sauce with a little zing but not overpowering. A+ Our dinners were the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm and Eggplanr Rollantini) and the 16oz Sizzling steak. The Italian Trio was a good portion and had a nice sauce, very filling and a very reasonable price. The Steak was better than some steakhouses and "higher-end" restaurants that like to charge $40-$60 for it. The steak was PERFECT! And for a price point under $30 is one of the best bargains you can find! Flavor was amazing and cooked expertly! We finished with coffee and the Chocolate Mousse Cake & Cheesecake. Well worth it and again; a price you can't beat. We even took home dinners for work the next day. It was that good. This is a Gem and a throw back to how things used to be and should be. Where your welcomed in and treated like a guest in a home and fed a wonderful meal. ***Keep in mind - Cash Only But they have an ATM on site. Not a big deal. Head in and enjoy. I'll definitely be back!!!

To start - Amazing service and unique decor/ambient. However, I think that's all I could say about this place. We had steak and seafood combo. The steak was very oily, and the red sauce tasted like supermarket red sauce. We had some fried appetizers as well, and everything was just soaked withboil. Taste is really subjective, so maybe the taste works for other people, but not for us unfortunately. One thing that really turned us off was the cleanliness of the restroom. The restroom smelled, and the restaurant had this old house smell. Maybe the smell was part of experience to enhance the west wild decor? Foods: 2 out of 5 Cleanliness: 1 out of 5 Service: 5 out of 5

Just had a fantastic dinner and wonderful service at Charlie Bloods! We were just driving by and curious, from the warm welcome to the take out boxes full of food for tomorrow we couldn't have enjoyed this place or the people that made it so special more. This place is worth going out of your way for, kind staff and great food.

Unfortunately our experience at Charlie Bloods was very underwhelming. Had the fried pickle appetizer (a special) which were incredibly greasy and then for mains a burger and a steak with onion rings. Both the steak and burger were ordered medium but when they arrived were rare to the point of borderline inedible. Not likely to return.

Easily my new go-to steakhouse. This is as close to being a perfect dining establishment as you can get. It's a family run place and it shows...in a good way. The staff is very hospitable and every single worker there exudes an amazing attitude. The environment has a ton of character (Western theme) which is a nice change of pace from the typical decor you see at other places. But the highlight of this place is obviously the food. Not only are they carrying the legacy of the place forward, I think they carried the old prices as well because the food here is amazing for what you pay. Especially nowadays with inflation and restaurant prices getting out of control, it's nice to come here and see that they're not about gouging the customers and robbing them of all their hard-earned cash. The steak is very good quality and cheaper than what you would pay at Texas Roadhouse or Outback. Their apps, sides and pastas are very good. The drink selection is plentiful. I'm coming here for my steak fix and any special occasion. You're welcome. FYI - It's cash-only and they are only open Wed-Sat.

Charlie Blood's is a Garfield, New Jersey institution that really is a must-visit if you are in the area. The ambiance is incredible and like stepping into another time and place. What a great vibe. The service is friendly and professional and only adds to the experience. The menu is varied and the hot dogs here were pretty solid. I will say that the dippy dog was pretty stellar. Charlie Blood's is the kind of place that I wish were in my neighborhood. We need these neighborhood joints where the community can rely on as a respite from the day. Charlie Blood's is more than a business in the neighborhood, it is a part of that neighborhood. If you find yourself in Garfield, New Jersey, I would definitely recommend a visit to Charlie Blood's. I am confident that younwill enjoy this place as much as I did.

Place is a classic American steak house with a few great options and great for locals quick dinner

We hit Bloods up last night. The Rib Eye and Potatoes were on point just how I like it. My Buddy had the enormous Cheese Steak sandwich with Onion Rings and he knocked it out. Service was on point. Was a great night.

If you're looking for a gem of a spot that nails the small-town vibe, this sports bar and restaurant is it. The food is ridiculously good--think comfort classics done right, with some unexpected twists. The decor has that old-school charm, filled with unique touches that make the place feel like a time capsule in the best way. Service is on point--friendly, fast, and welcoming, thanks to the family that runs the place. It's got everything you want in a neighborhood hangout: great food, cool atmosphere, and a sense that you're part of the family the moment you walk in.

It's Local neighborhood bar restaurant is charming, nostalgic, and very inviting. Food needs major help and attention. The staff is very friendly and warm and will accommodate your needs, however, the food is something left to be desired. I had to stop eating the muscles, I took one bite out of the pizza and that was it!, and the steak was horrendous. If I returned to this establishment, it would simply be to have a cold beer and watch a football game.

So much fun. Great steaks!! Owners family was the best. Let friends try three kinds of bourbon after discussing them. Who doesthat today. Funky and cool.

I had the godfather. All I can tell you is you better have a big appetite. It is amazing you got shrimp,veal and eggplant. Not to mention you have liquor to wash it down. This place is old school. I feel like I am in old school, Queens or little Italy when I go in here. I also like all the old boxing memorabilia on the wall since the owner was a boxer.

I 100% recommend this family owned place! The steak tastes much better than fancier steak houses I have been too. For appetizer we had the clams in which they came out with an amazing vinegar with what looked like a jalapeño inside - wasn't too spicy and was just delicious. For dinner we both got the 12oz ribeye. I got it with onion rings and my husband got his with fries. Towards the end, the waitress - who is Charlie's daughter - gave us 2 free peanut butter banana whiskey shots which were delicious and I don't even drink whiskey! I would also like to add that we LOVED the old fashioned feel of the place. There were pictures and decor all over and it just gave us good vibes!

I love places that surprise me and exceed expectations, which is the only way to get 5 stars from me... this place is one of those places... either just for a beer, or steak, or the pizza in between. This place is hard to compare but is such an experience from the namesake history, location, decor, and food that's it would be a great conversation piece for client meeting, family night, or just a hideaway.

Ambiance and service were stellar but the steak and spaghetti were just "okay." I'd recommend everyone try it once.

Old school restaurant and bar, great and friendly service. Something on the menu for everyone

Food was amazing. Mussels, shrimp appetizer, antipasto too much and delicious..Steak dinners cooked to perfection. Too much food. A must go. Always treated like family.

Awesome place, excellent food, great service, love the ambiance, great prices, absolutely recommend

Local neighborhood watering hole with friendly service. Plentiful food but not outstanding. Prices are reasonable. Western and nostalgic interior. Restaurant has sandwiches, burgers, pizza, Italian specialties and fried seafood. Steak was on the tough side though

Great restaurent and steaks! Great for kids too with all the western memorabilia. Sizziling steak is excellent.

Went here a bit back. The beer selection was very limited indeed even by dive bar standards, and the food wasn't bad but nothing to draw you back. Really nice mojo to the place, and the bartender was very nice. Just a few improvements and it would easily get four stars.

The clams and butter and garlic or exceptionally good very good sizes as well. We couldn't get enough of the sauce with dipping bread in it. The hamburger was good as well and the beer was cold. Very nice bar atmosphere seems like it's a local place. It's a very residential area, but we were happy and we will be going back.

If you havent been here yet, then come now!! Family owned since 1938 and making awesome food. This place has some great memorabilia all over the bar and dining room. It truly is like going back in time. Places like this are disappearing if we don't continue to patron them. Now as for the food. My friends and I had fried calamari, clams in garlic butter (Amazing!!), stuffed long hots w meat, sautéed potatoes, French fries, seafood salad (Amazing!!), bar pizza, ribeye steak and marinated long hots and mushrooms. Everything was prepared w care and quality ingredients. The seafood salad and clams were my two favorites. I can't wait to go back and bring more friends here to enjoy.

The staff and atmosphere are awesome. The food was even better! The bar pie was one of the best I ever had and the Sizzling Steak was better than my favorite steak place that had been going to for the last 33 years!

Great service and food,will definitely be back it was a pleasure to eat here the service was amazing and fantastic food

Environment was great. Staff was friendly but was expecting better cooked steaks according to magazine reviews. They gave my medium rare to my girlfriend and when I got mine, it was rare

covid review: i grabbed reservations for 4 on a saturday night because this place packs up & it closes early. dont let the divey look, or the collection of western style objects fool you - the food is good here. you wont find any craft beer, or anything fancy inside, but the bar is just a good time for cheap drinks and even cheaper food. staff is super friendly, quick, ,and suggestive of what to get. every meal comes with a large loaf of warm bread and butter. we also got the garlic bread, which was good. its a great app or something to dip into your dishes. the marmalade wings were so damn good, but beware they are sweet! the chicken parm dish is HUGE. its basically a whole chicken on a dish. my friend said it was cooked well too. every entree also comes with a house salad, which was okay. personally i wouldnt order this if it were on the menu, but it was a nice attempt for a dive bar. i appreciated the red onions and dressing. for my entree, i had the linguini with a light scampi sauce and mussels and clams. by the photo im going to post, you can tell the clams and mussels are small, but they are LOADED into the bowl. the amount of seafood was larger than lunguini. the scampi garlic sauce was good too great flavor, and i was impressed for this since its a dive bar. Priced at $13, you cant get something this tasty and this large of a serving anywhere around here. the grand finale? are you ready? pumpkin and traditonal cheesecake. one of the waiters sisters makes the cheesecakes. PERFECTION! i loved the pumpkin more than the tradtional, and let me tell you...the cheesecake is a reason to come here along. i will be back!

This place was once great but not in a long time. They were famous for the fried calamari but now it's all heads and soggy. I wish it wasn't so but it has gone downhill.

Friday night 7 pm and we were the only people dining. We should have heeded this ominous sign. The atmosphere is in a word, different. Dimly lit with Old western gear covering every inch of the walls. A never ending loop of 50's do-wop plays loudly overhead. We both had the signature steak. It was cooked right. It is served on a platter sitting in its own render. Gives the steak a greasy mouth feel. Suggest that it rest first, then plated. Everything else, salad, potatoes, veg were adequate but forgettable.

Oh man, Ryan M said exactly what I was going to - basically, support Charlie Bloods or go back to the midwest. They have fanTASTIC food - amazing steaks, huge thick cut fries, massive tasty sandwiches, BURGER WELLINGTON!? - and all for super super reasonable, dare I say 'deal', prices. Don't let the dive bar half of this place scare you away (though if that's scary to you maybe you should go), just walk through the damn kitchen area and go directly into the sprawling western-themed dining room and let the smile overtake your face. This place IS New Jersey. You're dropping the ball hardcore by not frequenting as often as possible.

The servers was very nice and attentive and the the steaks was amazing especially for the price, this place is a hidden gem.

Love this place ! Sadly the owner passed away and the restaurant is only open a few days a week now BUT still so great. We love everyone that works there.. always so nice & really good service. The food never disappoints. Good steaks , good prices , good bread & great drinks in a nostalgic & eclectic setting.

Old school at its best. Friendly first time or 100th time - Wonderful beef. Straight up and to the plate. Fresh made onion rings really made it for me. Fresh and tasty. Be back soon. See you there. Worth a try for all NJ

What an awesome place! We went there tonight and tried several different menu items- all the food was great!!! Burger steak with shrimp, the best was the garlic clams! Everything was awesome but the best part was really the service- its a family owned business and they make you feel like family! 100% recommend & we will be back very soon!

Great little place with wonderful staff and atmosphere! Walls are filled with great memorabilia that makes your visit even better. Food is fantastic and has nice variety on menu. My wife and I had the bar pie, excellent and just enough. We also had the "beefsteak platter", and it was just as good as any beefsteak event I have attended. Nice portion size, great flavor and tender! We look forward to our next visit

This place is great . Food, atmosphere and service great. Ordered 24 oz. ribeye steak came with fries, salad and bread for only $29.00. Looks like a hole in the wall place from the outside but It is by far a great place to eat and hang out.

Great food and atmosphere, many options to order, burgers are homemade and big, the steak is big and delicious, family restaurant i loved it, not crowded during weekdays

This place was incredible. We walk in and the place is empty. I mean not another soul in there. Admittedly we were a little nervous. Our food came out quickly and was fantastic. Another couple come in in the middle and the waitress swore they were packed the night before. I don't even care it was quick, delicious and the prices are so good. I would go back tomorrow and eat exactly the same thing again. Go for the decor stay for the steak.

This restaurant/bar continues to be a real gem they serves great food, huge portions and features some of the nicest staff I have ever experienced! Always friendly and efficient while the food and the various choices will satisfy anyone. Great job and will be back frequently!
