    Filthy door seals

    Consistently watched employees making food and taking food outside, going in and out for smoke breaks and to bring orders to people's cars without changing to clean gloves before touching food. Sat for over 45 min observing this behavior from all levels of staff and ownership. Also noticed filth on fast food windows and window seals. Considering employees are touching food with the same gloves as windows and doors this needs to be remedied asap. Otherwise food was tasty and appropriate temperatures and atmosphere is nice. Waitstaff is polite and courteous but does nor follow up with tables for drink refills or to ask if customers need anything g additional.

    If new to LaGrange, visiting one of our great West Point Lake parks or enjoying family fun at Great Wolf, your visit won't be complete without experiencing one of LaGranges longest running traditions, treat your family to one of the best hotdogs in the southeast. Great food with a side of southern hospitality that will have you coming back again.

    Took a chance and wandered in! What a great choice. We tried hot dog, spicy relish dog , kraut dog , slaw dog, chili dog w cheese and pimento cheese! It was all good! Great staff and great history lesson! Make this stop! You won't regret it!

    CJ's has been one of my favorite places to eat in LaGrange. I always go with the chili cheese slaw dog all the way. Soooooo good! My wife absolutely loves the homemade Brunswick stew and chili. My kids love the "cut up" cheese dog with ketchup. The dogs and burgers are steamed and perfect in every way. The atmosphere screams of tradition as this place has been a constant for what seems like forever.

    This is the definition of an All-American hot dog and burger joint. I've been coming to Charlie Joseph's all my life, and never get tired of it. The sports memorabilia on the walls, the vintage Coca-Cola signs, the red bar stools and white linoleum are just as present in this sister location as they are in the original building downtown. The great thing about this place is the way they execute two of the most important elements of a restaurant: food and service. The food is always delicious, simple, inexpensive and comes out quickly. There are no frills here; it's mostly traditional variations of your favorite hot dogs and hamburgers that they've been serving since 1920. And for as long as I can remember, the service has always been fast and amazingly friendly. Everyone always seems happy to be at work, and they pass it on to their customers. The Foodie Movement these days often makes burgers and hot dogs more complex. This isn't a bad thing, but if you're looking for delicious simplicity, this is the place to find it.

    This Charlie Joseph's location is authentic in every way. From the cool vintage Coca Cola collection to the tentative and caring staff. They have easy parking clean bathrooms and tons of tables and sitting areas. Also they have a convenient drive through so you can easily grab your food on the go. The food here is as classic as the decor the burgers are soft and warm and melt in your mouth. The place convenient comfortable delicious and predictable which keeps me coming back.

    Best hot dog I have had in a long time. Not many places around where you can just get a great hot dog. Definitely recommend!

    Always incredibly friendly service, and good food for a good price. Both locations have their own merits, and I highly suggest trying both!
