02The beef

The roast is USDA Prime rib of beef, salt-crusted and served with its natural jus and horseradish cream. Beyond the roast, the dinner menu lists a dry-aged bone-in ribeye of 22 oz, a 16 oz bone-in filet mignon and a 16 oz bone-in Wagyu New York strip. The weekend brunch menu adds a 32 oz Wagyu porterhouse from Snake River Farms at market price and gives 42 days of dry-aging for both the porterhouse and the ribeye. The double cheeseburger is also Wagyu. The menu does not name the ranch behind the prime rib, its weight or whether it is aged.

03The fire

The prime rib is roasted, not grilled. The menu calls it Roast Prime Rib of Beef, and Time Out reported in 2017 that the rib was roasted for 12 hours before it was sliced. No source names the broiler or grill used for the steaks.

04The story

4 Charles opened at the end of 2016: West View News, in February 2017, described it as about two months old as of early January. Resy listed it among the new restaurants of January 2017 and introduced Brendan Sodikoff as the founder of Hogsalt Hospitality in Chicago; the website still carries the Hogsalt name in 2026. Prices have doubled since the first menus. In April 2017 Time Out listed the English cut at US$39.95 and the double burger at US$18.95; in October 2026 they are US$79.99 and US$38.99. In May 2025 Time Out reported its No. 44 ranking on the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants list.
