Charlie's offers a variety of different options on their menu. Wonderful customer service. I would go just for the cookies and cream, fudge.

Laid back cowboy breakfast joint. Cool spot. Gave me some cool hand Luke kind of vibes. I eat a lot of spicy food, and if you like real spice, ask for the omelet with the habenero sauce. It was hot but also delicious. Hard to find something that's hot with great flavor but this was amazing.

My son and I recently visited for an enjoyable breakfast 🍳before departing for a visit to Grandma's house.✈️ We enjoyed an invigorating wall through the local neighborhoods before sitting down for our meal. My son had previously visited with his recently departed Pop-pop, so this was a great trip down memory lane. 🚶♂️ The restaurant is clean, plenty of parking, spacious dining area, smells like yummy food cooking. My son had pancakes 🥞 and bacon. 🥓 I had biscuits and heavy with chicken🐔 fried steak.🥩 Our waitress was overly kind and attentive. She even knew Pop-pop! Our experience was so tremendous. Highly recommended‼️ Also, be sure to get the fudge!

My family and I have been customers of Charlie's Restaurant for over 20 years. Perfect environment to meet my family and also enjoy a great breakfast. In my opinion, they have mastered having excellent food, having excellent customer service as well as a comforting home like feeling with the best waitresses. The staff is so friendly and almost feels like a distant family. The Waitresses are amazing and funny and always treat us kindly. I most definitely give them a five star, they are ingrained into my family and I have so many memories there with them. Athena and family😎

I absolutely love this place. I want to eat everything on the menu. One day I will have. This place is my new breakfast happy place. Everything is wonderful about this place. The staff, the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food. Give it a try and you'll agree.

We loved this place. The food was delicious and our server was very nice. One of our meal we ordered was the vegetarian omelet which I enjoyed. Everything was cooked well and not salty like other places! We will definitely come back and try other things.

Every time I come here, I’m never disappointed! Me and my husband are vegetarian, and we always can find the most wonderful food. It’s vegetarian. My husband gets the eggs Benedict and I get the vegetarian omelette, even got biscuits and gravy with no meat in the gravy. If you haven’t tried this place, come try it!
