Charley's Steak House, which has operated in Tampa since 1998, is proposing its first location in the Sarasota-Manatee market, with newly filed development documents calling for a 14,000-square-foot restaurant near Lakewood Ranch Town Center.
The proposed site sits just east of I-75 and north of University Parkway. Lakewood Ranch's developer reports more than 80,000 residents in the community. If approved, the restaurant would be the chain's fourth location in Florida.
The chain is owned by Orlando-based Talk of the Town Restaurant Group, which the caption describes as family-owned. The company says its steaks are aged on site four to six weeks over custom 1,200-degree pits fired with Florida citrus wood and oak.
No opening date has been announced for the Lakewood Ranch location.
The chain is also planning a move at its existing Westshore location in Tampa. That restaurant is relocating to a building nearly 30 percent larger than its current space, across from International Plaza, with that move expected in 2027.
