My wife, son, and I were visiting family in the area, and wanted something decent after fast food on the road. Charbonos definitely was a refreshing change. Everything was great from start to finish. The hostess, server, and a gentleman who I assume was the owner or manager were all fantastic. The menu is diverse, and has something for everyone. The bread was warm and tasty, and the entrees came quickly and tasted great as well. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great ambiance. We would definitely visit again. read more

This restaurant is located at the end of a strip mall and there's plenty of parking. Inside is a bit dark since there are no windows but there's a good amount of seating and there is a big bar area that's sectioned off. Our server was amazing, she checked on us often and was friendly. My friend ordered the Spicy Pepperoni Flatbread off their special menu and it was good, you could really taste the hot honey and it complimented the pepperoni. I had the pork chop which came with mashed potatoes and green beans.....so good! It was a thick pork chop and the sauce on it was had a sweetness that was flavorful but not overwhelming. The green beans were so tender and had a good amount of garlic which I liked. Everyone enjoyed their food. I've always been a fan of Cunningham Restaurant Group restaurants, they're consistent in great customer service and delicious food. read more

7 guest the waitress was great. The inside was nice warm and cozy. (It was cold outside) 3 out of the 7 didn't like their food. 2 of the steaks tasted like bad meat. I thought my granddaughter just didn't like her steak then I tried it and tried my hardest not to spit it out. The other person with the same steak said the same thing. The manager did take the steak off the bill. The other 4 enjoyed their meals. Our appetizers were very good. read more

It was a Sunday around 4pm and not busy at all, however, it did take quite a while to get drinks, the bread and oil, and our appetizer. The Sugar Plum drink was sweet snd smooth. The calamari was crispy and paired well with the aioli. The steak frites was a bit dry. The crème brûlée was good. It seemed clean inside and upscale vibes but we sat near the entrance so couldn't really see all that was inside. read more

I went once and will not be going back. I had booked a reservation for saturday night assuming it would be busy. (I am 16 as well as my boyfriend.) The hostess was extremely nice and inviting. The restaurant looked cute with the dim lighting- I loved the aesthetic. But when we got sat the waiter gave me bad vibes. She was rude and inattentive. She checked on us maybe once and seemed irritated that she had to. We were very low matinence customers and didn't ask of her to do anything. The food came out somewhat quick and was good- I ordered chicken alfredo. I'm not sure if the quality of our service was due to my age and the waitresses past experiences with teenagers, but it's extremely disappointing. Although she deserved no tip at all we still did tip her a good amount. Not sure who this lady was, but she should be fired and the entire staff needs to learn to be respectful and polite to ALL customers regardless of age. I too work in the food industry and I think she had no excuse to be so rude. Re evaluate your staff! I have told many people about my poor experience here! Which is too bad, I had been looking for a italian place! read more

Came to celebrate my birthday dinner and get a piece of their delicious Carrot Cake, it's so good. I was pleasantly surprised to see a birthday card waiting on the table for me. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken which is one of my favorite dishes here. I love the creamy sauce and the blend of flavors from the mushrooms, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. We sat in the bar and enjoyed the TV's and watching the bar tender make fancy drinks in their upscale decorated bar. Hubs got the Bourbon Street dish with shrimp, andouille sausage and chicken over noodles. Their house salad and bread is also delicious and I always love to start the meal with read more

Decided to meet family here for an early dinner on the west side. Charbonos never disappoints. We started with their yummy fresh bread loaf with seasoned oil for dipping. Today I had the tortolloni carbonara which was plentiful and delicious. Our server was helpful and friendly and attentive in keeping our drinks filled. We got a spacious corner both which was perfect for a group of 5. read more

Ordered takeout and i don't know why I ever expect anything different. I work in the food sales industry. This being up charged for $7 for a large salad is wild. This is a ripoff. And only to find out when I get home. Maybe 3 oz of raw chicken for a large salad. Took out of foil so you can actually see how much. read more

I went to Charbonos a couple weeks ago with my husband and enjoyed the food! We've been here a couple times and they are consistently good! I had the salmon that was perfectly cooked and my husband the pork chop and he loved it. We had the brownie sundae and it was just unbelievable! The staff is very nice, and check on you regularly. Unfortunately, last time we went it took them 25 minutes to come get our order. They apologized for the delay, and offered appetizer or dessert on the house, which was really nice, but definitely something that can be improved. The ambiance is pleasant and the style of the restaurant is unique, which I like :) There are a lot of parking spots, I recommend making a reservation ahead of time because it is regularly busy! read more

Ended up looking for a dinner spot in Avon and stumbled on Charbonos. No major complaints - friendly service, nice decor, and decent food. I got the bourbon pasta and liked the slight kick to the sauce, happy to see bread and oil served too because I was starving! Overall pretty decent, but nothing to write home about. Prices were pretty steep IMO though. read more

Located in Avon, the inside definitely has a Mediterranean feel. Our server was very attentive and gave us good recommendations as to what to order. Started off with the calamari appetizer. The squid was seasoned well and not too chewy. Two dipping sauces: a lemon aioli and marinara sauce rounded out this starter. I ordered the shrimp scampi. The sauce was a creamier than my preference but the flavor more than made up for it. The shrimp was fairly large and not over cooked. The desert was a bread pudding with peach sauce and ice cream. This was enough for two people and not overly sweet. Great dining experience! read more

The quality of the food and service at Charbonos is consistent with other Cunningham restaurants. Both are always good here. They have a variety of entrees on the menu for everyone, but my favorite is the Capri Salmon salad. Every time I've had it, it's so fresh and crisp, with some good briny flavor from the capers and olives. Charbonos complimentary bread and oil always hits the spot. The staff at this location is friendly and efficient. My one complaint is that it's a bit of a depressing ambiance here. It's dark with outdated decor. A refresh would go a long way to spruce up the dining experience. read more

Excellent view and excellent service! The drinks were also incredible. We had a great waitress, Macy, and any questions we had she made sure were answered in detail. She was very attentive to our table and the other ones she had (I definitely noticed). We had the Italian wedding soup, Chicken Piccata and the Bourbon Street and they were both outstanding and slight customizations we wanted were done too. Very cozy environment for a date or get together with family or friends. There's also a large side room for bigger parties . Their bread was VERY good too. Definitely a place to check out! They are also part of the Cunningham family so the level of service and food quality is above par. read more

Two part review: 1-I had my wedding rehearsal dinner here and it was good. The room was great and food was great. Food was hot, the preselected menu options were good and everyone was happy. Getting drinks was a little difficult, as they were out of ingredients but didn't tell the guests that...they just waited for 20+ minutes because they were looking in the kitchen. Not a huge deal breaker but just a little odd. 2- dinner outside of the fixed menu. Came back for dinner post rehearsal. Ordered shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and they were out of shrimp. Not a huge deal but again same thing of waiting, searching?, and then reporting no shrimp. Filet was delicious, snapper was fine but didn't have much flavor. Overall I would say average. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for dinner, but also will go back if that's where plans end up! read more

Took a 30 min. drive to Avon and was not disappointed. We were seated immediately, and our server was attentive. Started with the calamari that was crispy and well seasoned. The Bourbon Street Pasta was excellent full of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage, but a little spicy. Finished the meal with a slice of white chocolate peach bread pudding, a flavorful concoction of and pure decadence. read more

Went to Charbonos this evening as a last minute dinner outing, with our group of 5. We got seated right away, and had amazing service. We enjoyed calamari as our appetizer, and of course the fresh bread. The seafood scampi that was on special was to die for. Overall the experience was very pleasant as this was our first time back here in probably 10 years. Thank you to the wonderful staff for providing us with a great dining experience read more

Dinner with a friend tonight and Charbono's did not disappoint! It has been awhile since my last visit and I was happy to see it that it was much as I remembered. The decor is calming and a bit on the dark side. The two of us took a table in the bar and each ordered a Chardonnay - sorry that I don't recall the name but it was very nice. I ordered the BBQ chicken pizza - and my friend ordered the Salmon salad. Staff was attentive and our food was out pretty quick. My pizza was very good - lots of chicken, bacon and sauce. Why I thought I could handle a whole pizza I have no clue - but I brought home the leftovers. My friend enjoyed her salad as well. The Cunningham group knows its stuff - Charbono's has generally been a dependable choice on the far west side. read more

I've been to this place a couple of times already but was my first one of 2023. We had some fettuccine pasta and a nice smoked pork chop with veggies and baked potato. The ambiance is really nice for an Avon restaurant and the food is affordable yummy and flavorful. I forgot To take a picture of the bread and oil they give as a on-the house appetizer it's literally my favorite part of going there. Service is pretty good there! read more

In the midst of the Corona pandemic, I enjoyed a fabulous Easter dinner from Charbonos. Pre-ordered my family meal on line and showed up at my chosen time. There were parking spots with signs for the Easter crowd. I gave my name to the 'waiter' and he brought out my dinner. I just opened up the back of the van and he loaded it in. No touch, no contact, no breathing on one another. I knew it was going to be good, since I am a big fan of the Cunningham Group Restaurants in the first place. I have to say $60 for a dinner for 4 is a true bargain. Especially when it included all of the following: 1 Loaf of bread with dipping sauce and tomato bruschetta topping Salads with 2 different dressings and all the fixings green beans, loaded mashed potatoes, with green onions, cheese and bacon bits to top it off glazed baked ham and extra glaze and 4 humongous pieces of carrot cake Heating instructions included of course. And this way everything was freshly prepared in your home oven, without clean up... yay Giant portions, so much so that at least 6 people could have easily been satisfied with this meal. Except there might have been a fight over the carrot cake. Man that stuff was good. I would not have wanted to share my cake. a girl has her limits. read more

Hello Charbonos! I haven't been here in years (since they opened) and the space still looks great. Well maintained and cared for. We started with the spinach artichoke dip and it was so melt in your mouth good. The flavors and the warm focaccia bread were on point. But I do have to tell you, after the table bread and the amazing dipping sauce came out you might as well have put a fork in me because I was done. I ruined my dinner that dip was so good. AMAZING! Woo hoo good. My dinner arrived and it was well prepared and tasty as well but nothing could possibly compared after that dip!!! I ordered the chicken Marsala and it was perfectly cooked, the sauce was delicious. read more

Me and my partner are visiting all the Cunningham Restaurants this year and we stopped in at Charbonos and gave it a try! This wasn't my favorite Cunningham restaurant but this also wasn't my least favorite. My waiter did what they had to do to get the job done, which is perfectly fine, but I expected a little bit more care. The food on the other hand was mediocre, which unfortunately I really really wanted to like it but I didn't. Taste is subjective of course but the food was average and lacked flavor. I tried everything to like it such as add salt and pepper and lemon, still felt like it was missing something. The rice tasted good. The food wasn't horrible just average. Expected more. read more

This was our first visit to Charbonos and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised! The menu offers a nice variety of entrees and even the kids menu was packed with hearty options for the little ones. I paired my calamarata pasta with a glass of Riesling. The calamarata was delicious! I will be honest, there was one issue with my food but it was not our server Hannah's fault. I understand that things can happen and she handled it very well. The manager did a great job of compensating for the mishap and they more than made up for it! I chose the tiramisu for dessert and it was perfect!!! It was perfectly portioned for one person and served with just enough chocolate and whipped cream to bring all of the flavors together. read more

We had lunch at Charbonos on Easter Sunday around 1pm. I like the decor and ambiance, it has good character and feels unique. My wife had chicken piccata, I had Chicken Marsala, and my daughter had a cheese pizza. All dishes were tasty, hot, and with good presentation. Even my daughters pizza was made with care and looked great. Service was efficient and friendly without being overbearing. It was also done with a nice cadence to each course. The menu is sufficiently modern with an Italian focus, although I wish there were a seafood pasta dish with shrimp, scallops, and mussels.

I've been twice and overly pleased each time. I mean can Cunningham Group do any wrong! I seriously love how they treat their guests. Let's not forget the food is superb. I loveeee the bread they give you as a starter it's nothing like I've ever had before. I've sent both times during devour and it was a great deal. They were out of both of the desserts I wanted so that was a bummer considering we drove 40 min to eat there but everything else was excellent. I really have no complaints. It's in a strip mall so it doesn't look as fancy on the outside is it is on the inside. 10/10 would recommend! The calamari yum! read more

This is one of the first (or maybe the first) restaurant in the Cunningham Restaurant Group (CRG) empire. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to the expectations of some of the newer concepts from CRG. It seems very dated. The dining area looks like it's trying to be a fancy restaurant in the 90s. The menu is very middle-of-the-road, but you don't pay middle-of-the-road prices. And the quality of the food is just not there. My wife ordered the 6-oz filet medium, and it came out barely rare. We eventually (more on that below) sent it back. It came back almost well-done. And there was zero seasoning at all. We aren't sure if they didn't season it the first time or if refiring it didn't burn all the seasoning off. Or waitress was a basketcase. She was slow and hardly ever came by to check on us. She was constantly chatting up the other waitstaff. She apologized and said she was having a bad day because one of the chefs yelled at her, but then could be heard discussing this with waitstaff. Not sure we'll return to this location because there are so many other CRG restaurants where we enjoy the innovative menus, contemporary decor, and attentive staff. read more

We decided to grab dinner to go from Charbonos in Avon, In. They young lady who took my order was so sweet. She answered the questions we had about the menu and was so patient. One we finished ordering she made sure the explain how to do a pickup. Once we got there we where instructed to text a number she that we can get the food. There was a little wait but we could clearly see that they were busy. Overall we had a great experience and the food was really good. read more

Three stars appear because of the food. The service was very poor, and would have rendered a lower rating. I had lunch with my friend and applewood chicken salad, and a choose 2 (beef sandwich/house salad) were ordered. Both salads were excellent and tasted fresh. The alfalfa sprouts were a great touch. Their ranch was house made and delicious. As far as the service: we sat at the bar, which had 2 other people sitting at it. They made a comment to us after a few minutes saying that maybe we would see the bartender soon. It had been 30 minutes since they had seen her as they sat with empty beers. Eventually, we tried to look for a host to notify and there wasn't one of those to be found, either. When we finally saw the bartender several minutes later, she took our order and disappeared again. At the end of our meal, I waited for her to tell her my number for my CRG VIP points and was tired of waiting and left. Overall, for being a CRG restaurant, I was shocked at the level of service and outdated decor. The food was good enough to give it another chance. read more
