    My husband and I eat at Charkie's often. They have good food, place is always clean. I think last night will be our last. I wish I would have seen this while in the establishment. I ordered a Philly Steak sandwich meal with is noted on their pricing at $16.99 yet I was charged an extra $4.68 for fries and a drink? My husband ordered the 2 hot dog meal but was charged $4.15 for an extra hot dog? Be careful of this place. Watch your receipts.

    Complimentary soup of the day with dine-in!

    Food came out fast and fries were nice and crispy but 'potatoey' on the inside. :D Great chicken noodle soup included when you dine in! Recommend getting there before noon as the lunch crowd comes in, it's pretty busy.

    Charkies is my childhood restaurant! The owner is an amazing guy with 4 little kids that became a friend of my family. This is the place you should support!! Family and locally owned businesses keep our cities alive; they build us up! Onto the food! I get the baked mostaccioli. It is penne with mariana, spices, and baked cheese on top. My mom gets the chicken breast plate, and she has leftovers for days because of the huge portion. It comes with salad and a potato, so she got fries. My dad switches his order almost everytime we're there lol! He got the Italian beef with hot peppers and fries this time. They serve free soup of the day when you dine in, and in IL you need it to warm up! If you're in the area make sure to support this local business!

    Charkie's is one of my favorite restaurants in my hometown! Eat at the restaurant and you get a free bowl of soup (Saturday is beef rosamarina, my personal favorite). The gyros always hit the spot - I got too excited to eat it and forgot to take a picture before I was halfway through! I also love the meatball sub and the mosataccioli with a side of garlic bread. The counter service is always super nice. They recently added gaming machines if you're into that. I always look forward to my next visit!

    Another visit and another delicious meal! Italian beef was amazing! Hot dogs too! Cheese fries and onion rings are the best!!

    Double cheeseburger add mushrooms

    Family owned and operated. Always fast service free bowl of soup when we eat in. We normally come here for the gyros platter because it feeds my girlfriend and I no problem. This time we got a double cheeseburger with mushrooms. Not to shabby. I think they are canned mushrooms which instantly makes me sad. Meat was a little dense but enjoyed it bc it was not greasy at all. Also tried the Philly Steak Sandwich. Needs to be revamped a bit. Lacked flavor and presentation. Had to cut up the the meat and used more ranch than usual to had more flavor.

    Chicken sandwich

    Worth the stop in to eat as they offer you up a bowl of their piping hot soup of the day just for eating in. Great small dive food for a quick stop for lunch or dinner. Very friendly staff and decent dining space. Room with slots if you are an avid gambler trying to make a buck and plenty of televisions playing various sports.

    Discovered this delightful little gem randomly when my wife looked through the weekly ad packets…read morethat get delivered and she normally tosses out. Not gonna lie, Australians have meat pies as a common food, and I'm not sure why the hell it's not caught on more in the US. Meat+ pastry +small size = amazing. They've a nice big selection of meat pies and rolls, prices were surprisingly reasonable, and their pastries won me over quite easily. (Cinnamon rolls and scones!). I was surprised my kids liked the pies and rolls too. My son's pretty picky (ugh), but he asked for a 2nd sausage roll which was nice to see. Didn't finish it, but even liking it enough to ask for another and eat half is like Xmas come early for us. Flavors and textures are great! Just watch burning your tongue... which I did twice in our visit. Worth it though. Wanted to make sure I post up here since it's a local place opened recently and need it to stick around for a good long time. Only other place to get meat pies is downtown chicago which is annoying to get to.

    I've spent some time talking to the owners Brett and Shae and they couldn't possibly be nicer or…read moremore generous! The food is really unique and delicious. I have been back several times. I'm a sucker for the lemon slices, honey joys, and "flagship" sausage rolls (haven't tried the jalapeno and cheese or the others but I will). If you're looking for something different for a meeting or luncheon that will make everyone happy and have them still talking about it weeks later, I'd hit them up for a catering order. Prices are more than reasonable, and to be fair, everyone already knows what they're getting when you bring in the usual green boxes and cups with the same logos on them. Put some sausage rolls, lamingtons, and homemade Aussie scones down on the serving table instead and watch the reactions. They have some vegetarian and vegan options, but you should probably call and talk to them about it because I don't know all the processes and they do bake items with and without meat in the same ovens. Some folks are stricter about their diets than others, so just ask. They'll talk to you about anything, really. They're so outgoing and friendly, you always leave feeling you just hung out with your best friends. It seems like we could all use more of that and I really appreciate them.
