A time was had! What a charming, quaint, spacious spot this is. The decor was minimal, but totally fit the aesthetic. I sat in the expansive patio area. There was ample seating and space between tables. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and detailed with explanations. She was honest regarding menu items she has yet to try, everyone's food and drink was exactly as ordered . The food was good. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which were excellent and the mango salsa was a bright addition with a crisp sweet flavor. My sons had the brisket grilled cheese with fries, I had a taste and it too was packed with flavor, my other son had the buffalo chicken loaded tator tots, you can never go wrong there. I love that I ended the month of May at such a nice location with good food, service, and company.

I've visited Charlie's Place on a numerous occasions. The breakfast/ brunch is great, the dinner not so much. The avocado toast during brunch is amazing! The salmon with the broccoli and Spanish rice is mediocre. The salmon is overcooked and the Spanish rice and broccoli lacks flavor. They have a great selection of drinks which was a plus. The most recent time I came, the service was very slow. The inside wasn't packed, maybe 3-4 tables, the outside was pretty steady but the service was slow. Our waitress was okay - she could have been more attentive in my personal opinion. Overall, I'd still come back for the avocado toast alone!

I absolutely adore this place, I go every chance I get and I take alllllllll of my friends here. Their food is amazing, last time I went we spent 4 hours and ordered damn near everything on the menu and cocktails. Headed back this weekend!

Terrific food, drinks and ambiance. Dog friendly (they even bring a gratis cooked chicken appetizer out for canine guests!). Plenty of free parking and Live Music on Fri & Sat evenings! Friendly staff.

The food is always amazing and you cannot go wrong with anything that you order. The atmosphere is relaxing whether you are indoor or outdoor. Along with the service is always nice and prompt!

A fight broke out. An innocent bystander was watching it go down. Employees came out to break it up. This employee pictured attacked the bystander for no reason at all unprovoked as he watched the fight. Choked him out and dropped him onto the asphalt. The victim was unconscious for at least 5 minutes. The employee chose the smallest easiest target to attack. This man needs to be arrested and fired. It's one thing to break up a fight but you don't just attack people for the fun of it and laugh about it.

Trailer where it all started..

Great patio & good brunch food. Dog friendly & serves free chicken dish to furry friend:)

Great drinks, decent food, wonderful atmosphere! Stopped in after coming to visit my nephew for college. Close to campus. Reasonably priced. Loved the outside dining area!

What a fantastic place! Not only is there a classy indoor dining room that feels like an upscale lounge, there's a tropical feeling patio and a covered patio with a bar halfway between both. The food and drink are delicious, the staff is kind and thoughtful (someone even went and turned on the Champions League Final on the tv we were closest to) AND dogs are permitted on the patio. We are from out of town and boy did we luck into the best experience. Brunch menu is delicious. Portion sizes are huge. Everything was great.

Ask the Community - Charlie’s Place

Is flashback live 21+ or 18+?

I have only been there for a private event, but given it hosts live music and offers drink specials I would assume it's 21 and over. Neither their social media presence nor their website indicates for sure though.

Had an amazing brunch here today. I had a pistachio latte, Yum! My son tried the raspberry and…read morevanilla latte, so good! This restaurant is decorated amazingly. Someone definitely took the time to make this place look great.. service was wonderful also. We tried the cinnamon roll, the meatballs were amazing, I had the ricotta toast and my son ordered the prime rib toast. We were already a little full from each having half the cinnamon roll (the icing was some of the best we've ever had but the cinnamon roll tasted a little old, maybe a day or two old) and the meatballs again were so tasty!. I was glad to try the ricotta toast though :)

Spoke + Ivy (west Main Street, FW) - another locally unique dinning experience that deserves a try…read more Spoke + Ivy is located on west Main Street - across the parking lot from Redwood Inn restaurant, if that helps. This restaurant is set in an old building that used to house a pharmacy. It retains the character of the building via the hardwood interiors, tall ceilings, large window views of the street and concrete/industrial ceilings. The interior is nicely decorated with inviting green, brown wood and black accent colors. Table settings were very attractive as well. You can park in the small side lot or on the street. Reservations are easily made on line. The team is very friendly and welcoming. All set the stage for a fun and relaxing dinner experience. Spoke + Ivy has a very small food and specialty cocktail menu. This is the second time we have been here. Each time we found the food to be delicious and the cocktails are uniquely designed. Here is a run down on the food items we ordered: -Focaccia Bread: a mildly sweet, dense/firm bread, slightly airy with a touch of herbs to accent. It is cut into blocks so it is easier to share. The vodka sauce is thin in consistency with a smooth Italian seasoned tomato appeal. Both make for a deliciously simple starter. -Lobster Roll Rangoon: decided to give this a try. It comes out as one large Rangoon - not individual pieces. This means that you must awkwardly cut this shareable into pieces. The slightly crispy & oily wrapper is similar to most crab Rangoon pieces. It has a nice crisp. The inside has shredded pieces of lobster. It was not filled with creme cheese sauce like traditional rangoons - just plain. The green lemon parsley sauce was simply outstanding! It's very fresh, moderately thick and has a slightly tart taste. This added "the sauce" to what the inside of the Rangoon was lacking. -Milanese: nicely breaded chicken that was very moist. The breading is slightly sweet. The fresh bed of arugula salad is a nice add -Prime Rib Pho: this sounded really interesting. It's a smaller/healthier dish. The medium rare prime rib was sliced thin and tender. There wasn't many pieces of prime rib in this dish. The add-ins were fresh and much like you would expect from a Pho dish - just not as much volume. The broth has a chili oil base that gives it a spicier flavor. Overall we really enjoy this relaxed atmosphere and character of the building. The delicious food and cocktails are excellent.
