About CHR Steak
Where fire meets taste, in the heart of Gainesville.
A Steakhouse, Done Right
CHR Steak started with one idea: do a steakhouse properly. Age the beef ourselves. Build a wine list worth reading. Hire people who genuinely like having you here.
You'll find us on Bradford Street in downtown Gainesville: raw bar up front, prime cuts off the fire, and a wine list that runs from an easy glass to the bottle you've been saving.
We named the place for the cut and the craft behind it: CHR, the char, the sear, the line on a perfect ribeye. Everything else followed from there.
Great steak isn't complicated. It's good beef, treated with respect, and a room that's glad you walked in.The CHR Steak Kitchen
Time Does the Work
Behind the glass, whole subprimals hang in a climate we keep just cold and just dry enough. Four weeks is our floor; some cuts go longer. The water leaves, the flavor concentrates, and the texture turns to butter.
We trim by hand and cut to order, so the steak that reaches your table was shaped for it that night, never before.
A List Worth Reading
Our wall holds a couple hundred selections and counting: Napa cabernet by the case, old-world bottles we chased down, and a rotating set of pours by the glass so you don't have to commit to dinner to drink well.
Not sure what to order? Tell our team what you like. Steering you to the right glass is the best part of their night.

Come hungry. Stay a while.
The People Behind the Plate
The people here take it personally: chefs who break down whole cuts by hand, a bar team who'll steer you to the right pour, and servers who remember how you take your steak.
Come back a few times and it shows. That's the whole point.
