Food was good and not too many customers so you get what you order quickly

The food was not good at all;I could cook better and I cant even even cook for the life of me.The coffee was pretty bad, too.The only good part about my meal was the breakfast burritos.BUT the atmosphere is really great except for the big heater in the back corner.But don't even get me started on the prices ?.paid over $100 for 5 of us to eat nothing ?

Avoid this place. The food is terribly bland. You can tell their food is frozen and some of it is a few days old and reheated. The gravy was so cold was separating on the plate. Nothing was good. Plaster fell from the ceiling straight onto the table. The tiles are falling out of the ceiling. The fake flowers are covered in dust and it smells of mildew. The environment was chill I guess.

This restaurant is definitely unique in that it is truly 100% old school and gives you that nice feeling of a small family style restaurant. The service was great, upon entering we were greeted very nicely and our server was very kind & attentive as well. The food is hearty and filling. The portions were good and the pricing was extremely affordable as well. You can tell that most people that come here are regulars - that's always a good sign. I had the chicken fried steak. It was very tasty and what I expected ( that's a good thing!). I also shared the Texas French toast with my partner. It was delicious not too sweet and just right. If you're seeking a hearty breakfast on a weekend without long lines and tired of trendy brunches.. this is the place to be!

My wife and I had breakfast here recently while visiting from the L.A. area. It was a little hard to find thanks to our wacky GPS. Not a fancy place, but food, service, and prices were good.

Old school diner. Staff is great with good food and value for your
Not bad. Good service decent pancakes and eggs. What I don't get is the $4 for side of toast lol 2 slices of bread costs as much as a loaf. But 2 biscuits are the same price idk...it's not just this place it's everywhere. #toastflation
I've been here twice now and both times I was very satisfied with my food and service. Prices are great too

We have been coming to Charlie's for many years. It's definitely a place where "everybody knows your name." The food has always been a hit. Our favorites are the Lyle's special, tuna melt, and hot Reuben. Now and then we treat ourselves to pie or a cinnamon roll, which are excellent. The staff are always friendly and have come to seem like friends. Stop in for a nostalgic trip to great diner food with a small town feel.

I absolutely love this place. The staff, the food and customer service is outstanding. I come here once a week even if I'm not hungry just to see lovely people.
