The Charleys menu at a glance
Charley Shin opened the first Charley's Steakery near The Ohio State University in 1986, in a space of about 450 square feet, after falling for Philly cheesesteaks as a student. The chain began franchising in 1991 and still runs from Columbus, Ohio. Charleys says it now has more than 700 locations in 46 states and 17 countries, and you will mostly find it in malls, airports, strip centers and on Army and Air Force bases.
Every sandwich is grilled in front of you, which is the point: you watch the steak, onions and cheese come together on the flat-top. Prices here are the site owner's estimated typical prices, and each store sets its own. We compared the spreadsheet with Charleys' August 2026 nutrition guide and found that several sandwich names and calorie counts have changed, so we list the differences at the bottom and quote the newer figures in our answers.

Charleys calories, protein and menu highlights
Calories and protein on this page come only from Charleys Cheesesteaks' official nutrition information; the lowest-calorie pick leaves out drinks, sauces and add-ons. Items without an official figure show a dash. Where the official guide names an item a little differently, the note says which item the figures are for.
Charleys allergen information
Charleys lists allergens for every item on its Nutrition Info page and in an August 2026 nutrition guide PDF, covering egg, soy, nuts, wheat, dairy, fish and shellfish, and sesame. Cheesesteak rolls contain wheat, and most sandwiches contain dairy. Food is grilled on shared flat-tops and fried in shared fryers, so cross-contact is possible.

- Breakfast hours
- Offered at some locations only; Charleys' menu lists breakfast items such as an egg and cheese sandwich and hashbrowns where available.
- Holiday hours
