Oh what lies !

I have never had any issues with Cheap Charlie's and thousands of others haven't either !

 

And the gumption to complain about it and paying 99 baht ...omg unbelievable 

I really can't believe people nowadays,

 

 

A fantastic well run restaurant

They want a 5 star dinner at 1 star prices.  I have a Cheap Charlie Card, (had to, my name is Charlie)  the food isn't fantastic beyond all else. But it is good, average for the area, and the desserts are innovative and tasty. I would say your getting 2 to 3 star food at a 1 star price sooo. Yup I'm happy and go back and gi e good reviews because they deserve. Never had bad service are crappy food, the steak is,, not aged, not 2000 bhat, but tasty and under 200.

Cheap Charlies 150 gram steak meal is 239 baht as a Saturday special, and tasted like leather. Witherspoons sell a good 200 gram steak meal for 299 baht as Wednesday special, so Cheap Charlies definitely not the best value around when you consider taste an important aspect 😀

It's good for 99 baht but full price definitely not, some dishes are child size. I tried the 99 baht Saturday steak and chips and yes impossible to chew, but they do get bad batches same beef stew which is usually very good

So it's good for 99 baht member card special but impossible to chew. I think someone posted early in the thread, why would a restaurant put up a steak meal that's so bad that you dont want to finish it, no matter the price

I had planned to try that place a few times but every time I walk by (Pattaya & Jomtien) and see the sad sacks sitting there I always change my mind.

Are you referring to the high-quality tourists that Pattaya is well known for

Beef is around 240 baht per kg. It's up to them to choose/order the right cut and to treat it accordingly. If not possible to chew it should be be struck off the bill. Price is irrelevant.

We are in Thailand, complaints fall on deaf ears. i did let them know, not a complaint as such, haven't bought since

I wouldn't complain. I would hand it back to them stating "Cannot eat...change". But realistically, I wouldn't be buying cheap steak in the first place.  Cheap steak is for braising and slow cooking. At the very least, learn how to tenderise cheap beef steak before deigning to serve it to paying customers.
