While passing through the area my wife found this hidden local gem and it was well worth the stop…read more I am even thinking about going back tomorrow. We talked to the person there and found it was run by his family, and they do an exceptional job. My wife had the Liberty Cheesesteak with added onions while I had a combo Italian Beef/Italian Sausage sandwich - dipped with added onion, hot pepper and cheese. We also had a side of fries. Both sandwiches were big, which you would expect. The Philly had finely chopped steak with the peppers, onions and cheese all mixed in. My wife said it was fantastic. My combo was incredible. The beef was seasoned perfectly and was clearly not sitting all day in the au-jus (which when talking to the owner afterwards he confirmed was the case). You can always tell this because the meat had a nice texture and was not overly salty, but instead as I stated seasoned and cooked perfectly. Additionally, the fries were well cooked, crisp and hot. They take care to keep the oil fresh and clean, so the fries taste like fries instead of old dirty oil. As an added bonus he even treated my pup to a small dish of ice cream which she enjoyed on a hot day. Fortunately, we showed up a little after the lunch rush and was able to spend a few minutes talking about the business and baseball and our combined hate of the dreaded Dodgers. Even if I don't go back there tomorrow, it's definitely a must stop next time through the area.

Don't hesitate to eat here or order takeout…read more The owner really appreciates the business, And actually, we stumbled across this location and I didn't know it existed until I had driven out looking for a meal. Perfection for a cheesesteak! Ingredients were plentiful, and on an extremely cold winter night it was very welcoming. The staff was beyond friendly, and the restaurant was spotless. I noticed the staff was always cleaning. I've ate at several Charley locations: military bases: Fort Knox, Fort Benning, Fort Hunter Liggett, Fort Huachuca and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and Fayette Mall in Lexington, KY. Very impressive. Thank you!

Have tried a few times the past 18 months or so with very good priced groupons, BUT I will no longer go back. The large sandwich which the bun was much less bread than the last time and there was not enough meat to cover the entire bun. Fries were way greasier than in the past. The meat has grizzle chunks in them. We have been the only customer in the place the last few times. Way too overpriced for the size and quality. You get a way better sandwich at Cozzi Corner or Jersey Mike's. Our family really used to be a fan of the Mojo's, but I am not sure how much longer they can stay in business.

I'm very upset about the service I received. I've order buffalo party wings in the past and they…read morewere a good size not too small not extremely large. Yesterday, I decided to order the party wings after ordering them previously on Saturday the day before Father's Day which that day I was satisfied with my wings. Now Tuesday, total different experience I asked for my wings fried hard which they were not. They were chewy/gummy. The wings were huge. Not the same size as they were Saturday and this time I order 20 the first time I order 6. I called in to inform them about my previous experience compared to today. All he could tell me was this was out of his hands. They have jumbo party wings which I never heard of. I asked could I bring the wings back maybe he could fry some smaller pieces for me. Because when I order Saturday and in the past I never received such giant party wings. Which are not appetizing to me at all. Without any hesitation he quickly replied there's nothing he could do about it. It was a different box. I decided to come take a look at the reviews and I see if some ppl were not satisfied with their experience to reach out so it could be corrected. Ive been coming to big city for years since the first location and I travel a far distance so I know these party wings were not the usual. Very disappointed. And when I called I feel like he could have tried to do better than telling me it's out of his hands. Very selfish and inconsiderate. Saturday I order 2 jerk, 1salmon, 4gyro, 3 buffalo, 2steak egg rolls, 6 pieces buffalo wings fried hard everything was pretty good Tuesday 20 pieces buffalo wing, cheese steak, 1 jerk egg roll side of fries buffalo wings terrible. Everything else was ok. And to be honest that type of attitude explains why the establishment is not clean how it should be. Because it's out of your hands ??!!!

(IT'S) ALWAYS SUNNY IN BOLINGBROOK…read more The spirit of Philly has come to the western suburbs, and with it they've brought their signature cheesesteaks. Charley's is a newcomer to the busy intersection of Boughton & Weber, having taken over a spot previously home to Firehouse Subs (which coincidentally also sold Philly-style cheesesteaks). This location between KO Sushi and a Pearle Vision opened in late April 2023. The buffalo chicken philly ($6.50 for a small) is delicious: sliced chicken, melted provolone, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and hot sauce. I've ordered this twice in as many weeks, and both times I've wolfed it down. One of these days I'll definitely get the Old School Cheesesteak ($8.50). Charley's touts their wings; you can get 6pc regular ($9.50) or 10pc boneless ($10) tossed in your choice of sauce. Options are - from mildest to hottest - sweet teriyaki, garlic parmesan, lemon pepper rub, bold BBQ, Thai chili, Korean BBQ, hot honey, buffalo, and mango habanero. Halfway through dinner the other night, I encountered a big ol' bone (nooooo) in my allegedly boneless wings..... perhaps they should amend this to say "99% bone-free" wings. Few things are worse than expecting a smooth chicky nuggy and chomping down on something sharp and/or brittle. Talk about an appetite killer. I like their style of french fries, simple but satisfying. Try 'em loaded with cheese & bacon ($3.80). The guy who rang up my order was friendly, and even though it took a while for the food to come out, they're a 'hot & new' business with a steady flow of customers, so a wait is to be expected. I cashed in a coupon for $5 off of $20, plus I racked up double points by scanning the QR code via the Charley's mobile app. I've become quite the rewards redeemer as I enter the penny-pinching Scrooge McDuck phase of my life (mid 30's). Every cent saved counts, amirite?? * TL;DR * "Can I offer you a cheesesteak in these trying times?" - Frank Reynolds, probably As much as I enjoy(ed) Charley's buffalo chicken philly, finding a large bone in my boneless wings was a massive turn-off. Needless to say I'm no longer taking any chances, so I'll stick with Bdubs as my preferred provider of boneless wings. You'd hope that a place with 'cheesesteak' in their name would put together a tasty one, and Charley's didn't disappoint. Let's just say I wouldn't have bothered to download their app if I wasn't planning on returning fairly often. Pretty good stuff. Recommended.

Plus I got cheese fries so it really was an overkill on cheese. I'm going to come again and get a different cheese on it. I would love if they could get white American as an option. The fries were tasty but I'd also skip the cheese.
