    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

She made great recommendations and helped us decide based on our time constraints. She was attentive and gave us a lot of information about the food, live music, DJ and art for sale on all the walls. We weren't super hungry, so we tried the flatbread - sooo good. I will be back because the whole menu, including the drinks, sound wonderful. They offered zero spirit, GL and other substitutions if needed which is nice. The atmosphere has a moody, darker hang out vibe to it. I loved it and can't wait to bring some friends and family back! She recommended reservations on the weekends, especially on "First Fridays" as that's when they do events and an art crawl on Broadway when the weather is nice. We parked on the street in front of the building so I'm not sure if there is a parking lot. They do have outdoor seating as well in the front of the building. I remember when this location was a food co-op waaaaaaay back in the day. They did a great job transforming it into a relaxing bar and restaurant. We will go back and I highly recommend you check it out!

We ordered the fried avocado which was served with pickled onions and a spicy dip - very good and the bonus was a happy hour discount. Hubby had the Cheddar Smash burger with fries as his side choice (other options are onion petals or a side salad). Catsup was complimentary but there was a charge for the garlic aioli. Good but nothing stand out. I had the Brie and Berry grilled cheese without the prosciutto. My choice of side was the onion petals. Again, tasty but not standout. Ahlana served us quickly and with a smile, checking in several times to see if we were enjoying our meal. It was kind of dark inside (adding to the atmosphere no doubt) and there is a collection of eclectic art work. We were not fans of the music but we are old! There is outside seating but road noise may take away enjoyment of dining here. Enjoyable meal.
