Dropped in on this tucked away gem today. Chandra was my server and I felt a comfortable ambiance that is hard to find these days.

A nice relaxed restaurant. Classic feel with some good comforting foods. A large selection of courses from Breakfast through Dinner. Indoor and outdoor dining available for those who want to choose. There is a large banquet room in the back for large gatherings for any occasion. Went there for lunch but got some craving for breakfast. Delicious and satisfying meal all around. Service was quick and timely with a friendly cast of staff. Recommend for individual’s, friends and family gatherings.

The only thing that’s good here is the onion rings. The pork chops taste old, the gravy was so think and tastes awful. The pancakes and waffles were not that great.

A great value each a every time. Charlie’s Special is the best meal for me! I usually don’t finish the meal, because they give you so much, so my husband help me out. Excellent food and an awesome environment. The waitresses are the best too! We just keep going back!

This was a perfect example of a home style meal. Total comfort and truly delicious. Had the open face hot turkey sandwich and was amazed. The turkey was right off the bird and utterly delicious. We will be back again in a heartbeat.

The food was not good. I know it saids family restaurants but more like elderly restaurants. My kids had the Charlie Special Breakfast and left pretty much the whole plate. I had the breakfast burrito but couldn’t finish it even though I was starving. Also, had the Texas style French Toast which is just simple french toast. Had 1 bite and left the rest. Coffee and fresh fruit were they only good items we order and enjoyed. The atmosphere is more like a daily place for elderly people the staff was nice and friendly but the place needs some deep cleaning and upgrading.

The host was awesome. He was very personable. Made you feel like you were a guest in his home. Had a slight problem, but it was taken care of quickly. I will be going back and highly recommend this restaurant.
