With love of food and a passion for creating, Michael and Robert started Charlotte’s Kitchen. Charlotte’s was inspired by Michael & Rob’s, Grandma Charlotte. Though she is only “technically” related to Michael, her unconditional love and compassion for those around her makes her a Grandma for Robert and many others.
We initially started with just desserts, but we have now grown to a full blown kitchen focused on creating dishes that taste as good as they sound. We strive to serve food that has soul and love just like Grandma, using fresh ingredients & never settling for good, but striving for the best.
We hope to see you soon,
~ Michael, Rob, & the Char’s Fam

Stacia Fazio
I am quite literally addicted. I love that you can turn anything into a salad or wrap…and the food is just amazing. My favorite is the Crab Rangoon Chicken in a wrap. The fries are perfect and the ranch is perfect as well. Just love the food here.

We decided to try Charlotte’s Saturday 8 April. My sweetheart ordered the fried chickens breast sandwich and fries. I ordered a grilled orange chicken sandwich and brussels sprouts. Our food arrived in 8 minutes. Not too shabby.

OH MY GOSH!!! I could not have had a better experience than I did at this place. First of all, the service is EXCELLENT! Everyone is friendly, and even if it’s a self service place, the staff was still going around making sure everything tastes good and even going as far as taking our trash for us. But the FOOD!!! My husband and I both had the crab Rangoon sandwich and it was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life! I wish I could give them 10 stars! I will absolutely be back!

It was a little pricey for sandwiches and fries,($60+ for 4 basket meals) basically fast food gone DELICIOUS! Went to the drive thru and actually came quickly and nice and HOT!! The best part though, the chocolate shakes are definitely a must try. We will be going back for sure!!

Just OK food. Char sauce is disgusting and the BBQ sauce is too sweet. I dont know what the chicken is seasoned with but its not great either and does NOT go with the sauce and pickles?!?. Knocking off another star because my dog refused to eat the rest of it. Never seen him turn down people food….

Every Monday I look forward to seeing what their weekly special is on Facebook. Pho, schawarma, jalepeno popper. They’re not afraid to play with flavors and they’re all amazing! My favorite lunch spot and they have the best fries (must dip in their homemade ranch). The only downside is the drive thru does take 10-15 minutes (from order to receiving food) every time. Well worth the wait!

The food is so good! We ordered chicken tenders, the original chicken sandwich and the original chicken salad. Whatever sauce they put on the salad and sandwich is wonderful. Just the right amount of kick. This is so much better than any chain fast food restaurant! We’ll be going back to try the orange chicken salad and crab Rangoon chicken sandwich.

Great food with happy service. All chicken based and each sandwich has a matching salad version. I recommend the the pineapple cream soda. It’s different but in a good way.

The menu is small enough that decisions are not too difficult. It has unique options in the world of chicken sandwiches! The service was fast and excellent. There is clearly pride in the work that they are doing! I had the crab rangoon chicken sandwich. The sandwich was overall delicious, but I didn’t taste much of the crab rangoon filling. The atmosphere inside is cute, but quite plain at this point. Overall, I am well satisfied!
