Mark and Mary Shapley began this dining tradition in 1985 and soon became one of the premier restaurants in the state. After taking a break to raise their two girls, they have returned with the same great food and service everyone came to know. Great steaks and seafood along with their famous tamales are still the main attraction along with an impressive bar and wine offerings. Please come by and see for yourself how special this restaurant is. We were recently voted 'Best Fine Dining' by the readers of Mississippi Magazine

    Took my wife for her birthday. My first time to dine at Char. My expectations were higher than the experience we received. My wife order the ribeye steak medium rare plus, however she was served a rare steak. We sent it back and within a very few minutes it was brought back and was cooked perfectly. Salad was great, fried green tomatoes were great and the pecan pie was the highlight of the night.

    The only downside of the evening was a large party had ordered every oyster available for the evening. The food was excellent. Wide variety to choose from. Drink menu also was great. Beer, selection and tap wall were excellent. Very enjoyable evening.
