    Found this place by chance. It was packed with people for breakfast so went in. Sat the counter since we didn't want to wait 15-20 min for a table. Servers were very friendly and efficient, filling our coffee and water. Breakfast was just as delicious with lots of options. We ordered the Charlies special omelet, breakfast platter and pancakes. Love the pancakes and sausage. I'm very picky about pancakes and this was spot on. Fluffy and flavorful. We all enjoyed our meal.

    Everything you need is at your table.

    I eat here often enough but have never posted. You know when a local spot is consistent, reviews are an after thought. Not today! I arrived on a Sunday at about 8:30 with open seating. I was quickly offered a beverage upon being sat with menu in hand. My order was promptly taken and food prepared. I ordered the Grandpa John's scramble (half size because whoa their full size portions here are massive). What I really love is that they don't season your food... meaning I control the salt. This is major for me!! The other thing is they let me be...coming by the table at just the right intervals. Today, Maribel is my server (& has been in the past) so she remembers preferences. That's huge!! If you want a solid breakfast with excellent customer service, I highly recommend Charlie's.

    I finally made it to Charlie's!

    If you're looking for an adorable diner in Enumclaw, look no further than three generation, family run, and family owned Charlie's Café. The interior is kitschy cute and the service staff is wonderful. The menu has tons of options, and the food is quite good. Now that I found in Charlie's and I know they're only open until 2 PM, I know I'll make plans to be back. If I lived locally, I would be a regular. Be sure to check them out.

    Coffee always topped up.

    I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Seriously the BEST customer service I've ever had!! Our waitress came by several times to make sure that our coffee cups were always topped off. Our water was topped off and she was super friendly. Just for that alone I'd recommend this place. The food was great as well! I had two 4" waffles with strawberries and whip cream. The menu said they were crispy and they sure were. So many times Belgian waffles get soggy when you put the toppings on them but these were crispy until the very last bite. I will be back very very soon.

    Pancakes with Vampire face :)

    Saturday mornings are quite busy at Charlie's Cafe. We were quoted a 15 minute wait for three people, however we were seated in about 5 minutes. Service was quick and friendly but the food was just mediocre. I would say it's comparative to a Denny's but with larger portions. I love the puzzle decorations they have on the walls.

    3/5/23. I need to stop taking a bite from the entree!!

    Charlie's is a favorites for sure. It's such a cool 1950's, Cola themed restaurant that offers the best of both of worlds of Breakfast and Lunch. Today I ordered the spicy burger without pepper-jack. I really appreciate that they give you the option to "build" your burger the way you want to. The jalapeños offered a nice spice to the burger and the pickles only made it better. The onion rings here are also good but a little too greasy. I have had many other lunch foods here such as the chicken wrap (fried), popcorn shrimp, chicken strips and more. Their bacon, cinnamon rolls and waffles are the best that I have ever tasted and their waitresses are so sweet and very attentive to your foodie needs. 4.8/5

    biscuit's and gravy french toast eggs sausage  horrible food and service will not return.

Proper Patty ($11) - This burger comes with two smash patties, both of which are heavily salted and somewhat crisped up - the pictures from other people make it seem like they cook long enough to get lacy caramelized edges, but it's not quite to that point. Instead, the burgers, while not moist and fatty, aren't dried out either, and give a great beefy flavor. The burger sauce adds some tangy sweetness, and some pickles on top adds even more sweetness, but a very fresh crunch. It's otherwise pretty standard with the lettuce and tomato. A solid smashburger. (4/5) Fries ($5) - These are fried enough to give a crust on the potatoes, but not enough for the fries to be come crisp. Still, they aren't floppy, so while not entirely crisp, these are still good for eating especially since the insides are nice and fluffy. They are salted a lot, which combined with the salty dip (we went with the Bud's Sauce), equals a parched mouth after eating. I think they actually use a lime salt or something as I can detect a bit of citrus flavor. The Bud's Sauce is a nice mayochup mixture with I think a bit of smokiness from paprika and some chopped onion. It's sweet, tangy, and salty. (4/5) Overall Burger Buds serves some nice classic smashburgers! It's great for a visit while in town for a quick and easy meal.

    We had a mixed experience during our visit but in the end it all worked out. Plenty of parking in…read moretheir private dirt and gravel lot. During our visit it was 'seat yourself' and a waitress came right over with menus and took our drink order. As it was early, we ordered coffee and water. Coffee is good and hot. Cream on table with salt, pepper, hot sauce and ketchup. Our beverages were brought over by another staff member, Paula, who told us our waitress would be right with us. Except she wasn't. After ten minutes I was worried. After 20 minutes I was getting concerned. Our waitress showed up shortly there after and we placed our order. Paula came around a few times refilling coffees, clearing tables and bringing checks. I wandered into their bakery area while waiting for our food, took photos, read the info there and then out to the historic bar area to check it out. You can order cakes and cheese cakes from their bakery as well as take a slice to-go, or enjoy a slice in house. Our waitress saw me there on her way into the kitchen and asked if I needed something. "No, just looking". OK then. We think our waitress was working both the kitchen and the dining room which is why she was often out of sight. So two staff in FOH with one of them helping BOH. That's a lot. She brought our food when ready plus a selectiin of jams for our english muffin. We asked for silverware which she promotly brought. The marionberry jam, a hybrid blackberry from Oregon, is excellent. The food is quite good. Corned beef hash is without a doubt made fresh. Big pieces of shredded beef with potatoes and lots of fresh spices. This hash has a zing to it. We both ordered the small portion of their corned beef so it came with one egg (instead of two) and we chose english muffin (instead of toast) and got half each (vs. a whole each). With a side of their potatoes, which were also good and plentiful, we had enough left overs for breakfast the next day. Which we also enjoyed. All told, we were in and out in one hour. Food was very good. We always had coffee. We thought our waitress was unfriendly, but she's just super busy. So five stars for holding down the dining rooms with two staff members and serving tasty, well prepared food. Paula processed our card payment. Forgot to check out the restrooms. I think they are in the last dining area (where a big business meeting of some company was going on at the time) behind the bar room.

    This is a really nice place for lunch when exploring the area. The interior design is rustic with…read morelots of period bar art. The staff are very friendly and seated me right away. They also easily accommodated a table change due the air conditioner blowing directly on me. I ordered an omelette with sausage, spinach and cheese. Comes with toast and hash browns.

    Solid 3.5 overall…read more We like this place but I probably ordered the wrong thing on the menu - the vermicelli bowl with peanut sauce and the nuac Cham sauce. While the salmon BLT and grilled turkey sandwiches were fine, the bowl was not. The nuac Cham sauce had no fish sauce or taste and the peanut sauce did not taste like peanut sauce and was super thick. It was a bit weird with pickles at the bottom. Normally, the dish has jalapeño and the cucumbers are cut in strips v. Slices. The noodles seemed overcooked. The Portions are decent. We give the sandwiches 4 stars but the bowl is a 3 for taste. Everything else is good- service, average noise. Street parking but fairly easy to find a spot close by.

The poutine is what we started with, the fries were piping hot, the gravy was rich and delicious, and did I mention there was bacon jam in there? Since we had the poutine as an appetizer, we opted to get salads instead of the side fries for our burgers and sandwiches. I have to admit this is one of the most impressive side salads I've ever had. The greens were so fresh! On special they had their homemade clam chowder which checked all the boxes, it had a great balance of meat to potato to herb. I will be dreaming about this for the rest of my life. If you see it on special you need to get it. My group ordered the mushroom burger, the the bacon jamburger, and the French dip which we split three ways. And when I tell you we fought over keeping our own. I am not lying. The burgers were juicy, the toppings were generous and well balanced. The French dip had roast beef that just melted in your mouth. For the first time. I don't think I needed the au jus. One of my party ordered the truffle gnocchi with wild mushrooms. I don't know how, but it was somehow light, not too rich, and the gnocchi soft pillows had the perfect fluffy texture. We did have to take most of our food home because the portions were generous. And somehow the gnocchi reheated. Well. I'm going to call that a miracle. All in all, if you're anywhere near Enumclaw you need to go here. We made the trip from Puyallup because my dad could not stop raving about the poutine. Next time I'm in town. I will be back!
