Asked the manager for a reasonable soup bowl and he replied "make more trips". They get a lot of business and could afford to provide decent size bowls. Unbelievable! read more

The food is terrible. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Definitely NOT home cooking. They had little variety on the buffet, and the only thing I got that tasted good was the chicken fingers and sweet tea. The red velvet cake was literally still frozen. Charlie B's is not what it used to be. read more

Was hesitant at first because of the buffet style, and let's just say I've been coming here for about a year now and they are absolutely amazing. The whole staff is great especially the owner Lee, wonderful people and such delicious food. read more

This place is amazing! It was packed and the food was amazing. All you can eat lunch buffet. I had cheeseburger chicken, collard greens, fried green tomatoes and peach cobbler. Everything is homemade and delicious. It's with the 40 mile drive from my home to eat here! read more

The food is great, but the last time I came to your restaurant, flies were all over the food. When we mentioned it to the staff, we were told (with a smile) "Yeah, there are a lot of flies in here". That is a major health issue and if you can't do something about the problem, then you need to be shut down until you figure out what to do. read more

Outstanding breakfast Buffett, made to order eggs, omelets with many ingredients. All comes hot and up together to your table when you order from the chef. Buffett includes biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, hash browns, French toast sticks, pancakes, hot syrup, sausage, bacon, kielbasa. More than enough to fill you up. Cost is well worth a trip to this buffet one price for all. Keep up the great work. Loved the service and food. read more

If you are hungry and having a hankering for Southern country cooking, Charlie B's is the place for you. Especially if you are really, really hungry. I thought the place at first was a "meat and two" place. Only after I asked my waitress if it was a buffet she said go get as much as you want. I have to say that I found some good stuff. My fried pork chop was really good and my mashed potatoes were too. I also enjoyed the salad bar and "cheeseburger chicken", which was chicken tenders covered with cheese and looked like it was marinated in a mustard-ketchup mix. It was one of the best parts of my meal. The best part of the meal to me was the sweet tea. Someone there has making sweet tea down to an art. Also, the lunch buffet was a total of $9.81. That's a deal in my book! However, there were some downsides to Charlie B's. Green beans were not seasoned. I did not at all like the dirty rice or the beef tips. They did not have BBQ sauce (that's hilarious for me) or really any other kind of sauce except ketchup to dip chicken tenders in. I have really been spoiled. And if you are thinking about eating healthy or having a light lunch, you can forget that when you go here haha. But when it comes down to it, it's your fault if you don't find something you like. I found enough that I liked but there was some...meh. Some of it due to my pickiness. Their menu changes everyday so I might walk in next time and change my rating. Based on today though, it's a 3 star with the best parts being the sweet tea, price, and quantity of food you can get. read more

Today was my first time eating here, I do not live in this area and have recently started a new job in town and am getting to know the area and all the things Blount County has to offer. I got it to go, as I had to return to work but the place itself seemed nice. Very busy and it was a bit of a long line to wait in so if you have a short lunch break you might just need to be mindful of your time. But let me say, the food is literally incredible. Recently we have moved back after spending the last 7 years in Nebraska living on an Air Force base and have missed good "home cooking." All the food in the entire state of Nebraska could have never compared to how delicious this is. Thank you Charlie B's for reminding me just how thankful I am to be back home in the south. :) read more

My wife and I are constantly on the lookout for restaurants that serve great "authentic" southern-style cooking. We've come across a few pretty good ones over the years, but, at least for us, the majority have been, "meh...". Our neighbor mentioned Charlie B's one day, praising their lunch and breakfast offerings. We eventually were able to make the 30 minute drive to have lunch there, and we were extremely glad we did. It's very clean and well-kept, but nothing fancy. Still, the atmosphere has a nice small-town feel to it. It's obvious the locals frequent it. Everyone seemed to know everyone else. They have varying menus each day, and we have yet to try something we disliked. The vegetables are awesome, and the meats are well-prepared and delicious. We go as often as time permits. It's one of our very favorite places to eat. read more

Suggested by a friend. If you like southern cooking, it's great for lunch. Had Cajun chops, nice and smoky. Fried cauliflower was really good. Peach cobbler, just fine. I understand they have a breakfast buffet as well. No even read more

When I'm driving through Oneonta, I make it a point to stop in for lunch at Charlie B's. They have a great selection of food and it is inexpensive. they generally have (excuse me if I don't recall the exact number) 10-15 dishes that you can choose from. Lots of meats, vegetables, greens, etc. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. This is the type of place that I like to eat. Not some big chain restaurant. It;s true down to earth southern cooking. read more

I really love coming here especially since I live in Blount county. There is always something that I like and there are always many things to choose from and the price is great! The staff is always great and welcoming read more

Food was terrible. I was hoping for nice comfort food taste and everything tasted deplorable at best. Hush puppies were like eating balls of sand, overly salted food, dried cat fish, and cold chicken tenders. I don't know how you manage to mess up peach cobbler, bread pudding, and banana pudding but this place did it. Salad bar and water are the only saving grace to this place. Never again eat here unless you want food that was shown no care or respect and you wiling to leave hungry because you don't want to eat it. read more

While driving thru Oneonta we happened upon Charlie B's & had a great lunch. They have a very nice salad bar & a large selection of meat & veggies. The dessert choices were delicious & the restaurant is amazingly clean!! read more

Love this place! Each time I visit Oneonta I make sure to come to Charlie B's. They have great home cooked southern food and their peach cobbler is out of this world! What's even better is they just started serving beer & wine! They are usually only open for lunch, but on Friday nights they open for dinner and have a special seafood buffet with live music! read more

Awesome home cooking and a great selection of food and desserts. It's my favorite place to eat in Oneonta!

If southern homemade cooking is what your looking for this is the best your gonna get! It is extremely family friendly and an Amazing buffet, salad bar and especially the dessert bar! I loved the service very young polite and just over all great people! Would defiantly recommend 100%! read more

One of the best places to eat in Oneonta. I just wish they were open at night with the same type of buffet food. (They are open on the weekends I think, but with a higher-priced menu.) Real southern cooking. I always take out-of-town visitors to eat there. For $8 it's all you can eat, including your drink, salad, soup, and dessert. Try the peach cobbler! If you haven't eaten there in a while - they are in a new location, with much more room than before. read more

Went on a Saturday, drove all the way from Moody, AL to have lunch with my son. Worst food I have ever had. Will not be going back. I was so disappointed because I was told they had good home cooking. read more

Nice to know that the BEST food in the South is in my little hometown! The freshest seafood......and we aren't even on the coast! You must try the peach cobbler and carrot cake for dessert.....unforgettable! I love this place! read more

Great food and great down-home atmosphere. The buffet is always filled with freshly prepared food and the salad bar is wonderful. Definitely a must when you are in Oneonta, Alabama! read more
