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!
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.
