Love this Charlie Brown's. No other Charlie Brown's I've been to can compare nor comes close to the quality the one in Oradell brings. Other CB's food were too salty, quality of meat wasn't that great, many have closed down... but this place always brings the game. I came here often in the past, whenever I've had terribly lousy days; their food always cheered me up.
Pictured are the:
- Slow-Roasted BBQ Ribs, half rack ($18.99); full rack = $23.99. The meat is tender and strips right off the bones; comes with coleslaw and a choice of side. Complimentary salad bar.
- dishes from the Farmer's Market Salad Bar, where you can grab anything from a large array of choices.
Unpictured are the Steakhouse Sirloin (8oz. $18.99; 10oz. $21.99) and the Ribeye Gorgonzola (14oz. $28.99), both of which are thoroughly enjoyable.

Meals are on the pricier ends, they are not gourmet, but the ingredients are fresh and their meals have so much heart. Great service, too!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Charlie Browns steakhouse in Oradell is simply the best! This award winning restaurant has the most awesome salad bar in Bergen County. We were amazed at the variety of veggies, diced ham, turkey, chopped liver (like mother wished she could make ), potato salad, hummus, beans, chick peas, chopped eggs, and asst breads and salad dressings.
Charle Browns offers a variety of special ethnic menus, ie october fest, as well as special promotions for regulars with coupons and pricing.
Loved the German cake and brownie sundae!
We really enjoyed the Nespresso Cafes lattes
Along with dessert.
Congratulations once again to David Bradley, one of Bergen's best GMs and his warm and knowledgeable wait staff.
Just got back from an epic Pre-Valentines Day celebration at Charlie Brown's Oradell. Fabulous affordable ! The perfect venue for a romantic dinner or family dining! Try their awesome chili, mussels marinara, and cedar plank salmon! The desserts are mind blowingly spectacular : ice cream creations on top of a ginormous baked chocolate chip cookie!They also serve the best iced lattes in town!
Charlie Brown is a special treat for couples, family, and friends.

Charlie Brown is a special treat for couples, family, and friends. Innovative, fun and a terrific value!Aug 5, 2019Previous reviewWhat a great nite at Charlie Browns - A fabulous combination of dining from Charlie Browns spectacular farm fresh salad bar and enjoying a seafood boil. The salad bar has an amazing assortment of breads, cheeses, veggies, salad dressings, and chopped liver,
The seafood boil was served in a shiny silver pail brimming over with king crab legs
Clams, mussels, corn on the cob. Simply
A crustacean feast.
The food , service, and ambiance were excellent! Charlie Brown offers a diverse menu including burgers, chops, chicken, steaks and seafood dishes. All are affordable priced , and generous portions.
Aside from a full bar they have just introduced s coffee bar with iced coffee, lattes and expresso.
David Bradley the GM is always welcoming
And makes everyone feel at home!
Highly enjoyable with lots of free parking!
We will be regulars at this unique and upbeat venue!Jun 14, 2019Previous reviewCharlie Brown's is a fun casual restaurant that serves generous portions of steaks, seafood, burgers and fries. The prices are reasonable, and promotional .,perfect for singles , couples, and parties!
One of the best features at Charlie Brown's is their bountiful salad bar. Our waitress Liz was gracious and accommodating and offered good suggestions regarding the menu.
We started our meal with the salad bar which in itself was a meal .It was filled with colorful veggies and fruits, chopped liver, cheeses, meat, nuts, cheeses, hummus, and salad dressings.
For our appetizers we chose a delicious chile made with cheese, bacon, peppers and.beans. We also had an amazing plate of extra large fried tempura shrimp . We then chose two outstanding main courses -crabmeat stuffed shrimp with a loaded baked potato, and a cowboy ribeye steak with baked potato
After a brief break we decided to sample two of Charlie Brown's famous desserts:
A sensational slice of incredible "key lime pie" with a graham cracker crumb crust. We also chose a "cookie lava" an extra large chocolate chip cookie with a chocolate ganache center and a scoop of vanilla ice cream...
Off the charts delicious!
Charlie Brown exceeded our expectations. And was spot on in food and service.
Thanks and kudos to David Bradley GM
For his gracious hospitality and superior
Staff.
Great food, service, and ambiance!
'Jan 7, 2019Previous review"Back in the day" Charlie Brown's was a "hot spot" at the old Pan Am building in manhattan.
I had not been to a Charlie Brown's restaurant in years, and was excited to find one in my hometown of Oradell, NJ.
I revisited my old haunt for lunch on a cold day in September, and it was a true version of culture shock! The Original NY
Restaurant was loud, bright, and aside from food and libations, focused on a giant singles scene. The NJ version is subdued, chill and more family oriented.
One of the best features at Charlie Brown's is their bountiful salad bars.
The main dining area is large with low lighting, tables and booths. Our waitress was gracious and accomidating and offered good suggestions regarding the menu.
We chose the salad bar which in itself was filled with dressings, chopped liver, cheeses, meat and veggies.A meal in itself!
For our main dish we chose a delicious hamburger with French fries! And a dessert, a dish of ice cream.
Pleasant, but not close to the ambiance or welcoming attitude of the original.
Disappointing!
After discussing our disappointing first visit with GM David Bradley, we were invited back to re-evaluate his restaurant.
Our return visit was a wonderful experience!
Charlie Brown's at dinner time was filled to capacity with a diverse and enthusiastic crowd. We were quickly seated and ordered two large cheese burgers with French fries , along with
Two salad bar visits.
The Salad bar at Charlie Brown's was exciting and filled with an excellent assortment of veggies, chopped liver, hummus, 5 different salad dressings, nuts, raisins, assorted delicious breads,
Cottage cheese, and peppers and pickles.
A fabulous feast by itself!
After making a couple of trips to the salad bar, we were served two cheese burger plates with perfectly made French fries.
Each of the large potato buns had juicy prime steak burgers topped with Swiss cheese, onions, tomato slices and lettuce. Great to look at but fantastic to devour!
We chose to end our dinner on a sweet note by ordering a warm extra large chocolate cookie with a chocolate ganash sauce. Decadent! But awesomely delicious.
Kudos and thanks to GM David Bradley and his wait staff for a highly enjoyable dining experience!
We will definitely return again!nnDec 26, 2018Previous reviewIn my original review of Charlie Browns Oradell, I referred to my early experience
With a venue in New York City . After speaking to Dave, the manager, I realized that I was probably referring to Charley O's .
I am sorry for my mistaken memory.
My conclusions about the Oradell venue remain the same as the three star review I gave it. I will be revisiting the restaurant again in the near future.Dec 24, 2018Previous reviewI remember the years when Charlie Brown's was a fun restaurant with above average food. Unfortunately , the years have not been kind to this venue!
The food is nothing to write home sbout.
The wait staff is okay but the management seems not to care about their clients. The much publicized salad bar is far from exciting and not visually appealing. The menu is fairly expensive.
My overall opinion is that they are either
Oblivious to their negative attitude or really just don't care. Too Bad! I had some great memories from back in the day. - Jan 25, 2019
My boyfriend and I were at a store near here and because it was close we decided to try it out and have an early dinner.
When we came in, we were immediately seated in a spacious booth. We started off with some cocktails that were both delicious and strong. If you check in on Yelp you get a free Firecracker Shrimp appetizer (which of course we did). As a starter I tried the French Onion Soup which I thought was absolutely delicious! The Shrimp was a little too spicy for me but my boyfriend enjoyed it. For dinner I had the gorgonzola Ribeye and my boyfriend ordered the meatloaf. My order came with the salad bar which was excellent! Salad extremely fresh and a TON of choices. The only thing I would suggest is to add pita bread to the salad bar to compliment the hummus (which was also really good). Our entrees were also satisfying. I wouldn't go as far saying it was the best steak in the world but it was cooked perfectly and the bake potato was also yum. If I am back in the area I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Nice cocktail specials depending on the day and the service was also really good.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Dec 20, 2019
My partner had a craving for some salad. Thanks to one of our friends who recommended this place. Haven't been here in such a long time as this is one of three establishments in Bergen county, New Jersey. Even though they have a parking lot, it was full. We weren't going to wait and parked on the next block. As one walks inside, there's a bar area to the left and the main dining room on the right with the unlimited salad bar. The food was tasty and just the right amount. We of course saved a little room for desserts. It's another winner!

Thanks for your review and we appreciate your business. We hope to serve you again!
Mar 6, 2017Previous reviewI was at Charlie Browns for Brunch today Monday March 6 and had their Shrimp tempura appetizer and salad bar. Everything was very good . I wound up taking the Pork porterhouse that I ordered for my main course home as I had too much to eat .
The atmosphere and servers were great as usual , especially Janalyn and Debbie my favorite servers . The manager Dave and bartender Brian are fun guys to talk to and always very pleasant . It is a fun dining experience. I have been coming here on Monday's for the past 4 years or so whenever I canJul 11, 2016Previous reviewAs usual a wonderful lunch with great employees. The Fresh water Shrimp appetizer were delicious , like mini lobster tails . Also the Firecracker Shrimp are a very tasty appetizer . After the salad bar and Apps , the main course i had to take home .
Feb 29, 2016Previous reviewAs usual, we had a wonderful lunch at Charlie Browns in Oradel. The Parmesan crusted chicken and the Ribs are the best . The RIBS are so tender and tasty.the wait staff of Janilyn, Debbie and the general Manager Dave provide you with excellent service and a smile .
Mar 9, 2015Previous reviewWe have been coming to this Charlie Browns for a few years now for lunch and have always had excellent service and good food. A special note should be made to the manager Dave who is always so pleasant and if u ask he will even tell you a funny joke. Our waitress Janilyn whom we all like very much is the best and always makes our dining adventure so very nice. Also my dad who is 93 years young loves it here . The salad bar is the best mmmmm. I hope this review was helpful.

I'm battling with giving this 2 or 3 stars. Made reservations for 6pm Father's Day. Arrived and had to park in another business lot. Walked down and host tells me 30min wait. No biggie bc we just went into bar area. I think we were seated 15 mins later.
It was the slow service and bland food that turned me off.
I also could not use my Yelp check in offer for free appetizer although there aren't restrictions posted on it.
The clam chowder was merely potato soup, coconut shrimp were over cooked and queen cut prime rib lacked flavor so we had to keep adding salt. Although everyone loves the salad bar, when you are seated on top of it and watch what goes on, you'll never want to eat it again. (I.e. the gentleman replenishing it did not have gloves on the second time and was picking up the veggies with his hands to transfer into next container)
Our waitress was really nice and refilled our drinks often, but there were still many delays between getting food and the final check. I don't think this was her fault because it looked like all waiters were pulled in fifty directions.
Overall I won't return to this location.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Joe D.Paramus, NJ19346Aug 27, 2020

I used to have a Charlie Brown's about 500 yards from my house and it was a place that I would regularly visit. One sad day, without notice it was closed. I knew there were some that had stayed open but hadn't run into one. We were coming from a party in the area and saw this Charlie Brown's and decided to stop. The two young girls who seated us were so nice and professional. My friend had the Charlie Cut Prime Rib and said it was great and that he wished he'd gotten the larger cut. I had the Crab-Stuffed Shrimp which were really delightful and I'm sorry but is there anything better than a SALAD BAR? I think not. Our server was really on the ball and the manager even stopped by to ask if we were happy. We were.
As a corporate event planner in the finance industry, I have eaten in the best restaurants around the world. By the time I am home from a week long event with dinners at fancy schmancy restaurants, I just want a salad, entree and baked potato. Charlie Brown's is consistent in my experience over the years. However, THIS CHARLIE BROWN'S was THE BEST I have ever been to. I still want them to bring back the one close to my house but I can honestly say, I would go to Oradell just to eat there again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you Laureen for the great review. So glad to hear you stumbled upon our Oradell location.

I came here for the salad bar because I remember Charlie Browns having baller salad bars....my memory is either really off or this location just sucks but the salad bar was reallllyyyy small. Bummer.
I did an add on to the salad bar and got the chili (I think it was only a buck extra which is a good deal). The chili was decent, came with a small side of sour cream and a pack of crackers. I've had better chili but definitely could of had worse so I cant complain.
The service was atrocious and is my main reason for probably never coming back here. It's not even worth going into details but the service was very poor and it wasn't even busy, so there's really no excuse.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sep 26, 2015
I really like this Charlie Browns my mom and I come here when after we get our nails done sometimes. I have never had a problem here before and today when I checked in I got a free appetizer of the popcorn shrimp with chipotle sauce which was AWESOME! My mom got pieroggis and I got a chicken sandwich with mash Potatoes which I love from here. To finish our big lunch off we got a smashed apple pie. Sounds weird but delicious. We had a good waitress she was very fast with service and nice. Definitely will be back here again!
