Excellent Service, Best New York Strip Steak in SE Connecticut. Best Clam Chowder in New England. Charleys Eating and Drinking Saloon is part of the Back Bay Resturant Group. I'm a regular there and have never been disappointed. I'd put there New York Strip Sirloin up against any "Steak House" in Connecticut.

The people there know their customers by name and treat them like friends, not just patrons. Of couse you must try their Award Winning New England Clam Chowder, served in a tasty bread bowl. Friday and Saturday Evenings can be crowded with seating at a premium, so get there early. Other recommendations are the grilled chicken ceasar salad, barbecued pulled pork platter, and the Newbury Club Sandwich big enough for two.

"Chowda". Yes, you must get the clam chowder in the bread bowl. It is awesome. The rest of the fare is much like upscale taverns, burgers, pasta and the like. Yes, it does remind you of Cheers with all the dark wood.

Charleys for clam chowder.. The place reminds you of Cheers with its high ceilings and wood accents and walls. The waitstaff has always been great. The best thing to get is their famous clam chowder in the bread bowl. I'd have to say the only thing I don't like about Charley's is that it is often too loud.
