I love the food here and have it a lower rating due to the lack of social distancing in the place. The place was kept at 100% capacity and did not even try to social distance. With table being back to back, you can't even be a foot away from each other. Masks were not being worn. I was disappointed as there are state mandates surrounding the Coronavirus and this place ignored them all. With the state mandates, it should make people feel safe, not potentially infect people. Not good business practice for sure! read more

What a wonderful place this is. Like I was in her for their sunday brunch/lunch special right. And like it was all you can eat chicken and ribs, and stuffing, and mashed potatoes and bread. And like it was freaking delicious. And can you guess how much this feast cost me? it was 6.50, it was like a holiday miracle, but it wasn't a miracle. It was luck. And the ribs were smoked and so tasty. And like apparently it's like super well known, and was in National Geographic a while ago. But it was a pretty sweet stop along the highway. read more

The Chicken soup was excellent. The steak was tender and service was perfect. Love the accent. You gotta stop by here. The pecan pie was wonderful and my son wolfed down the country fried steak. Great gravy. We will be back. read more

You might be put off by the garish signage and billboards, but once you're inside, it's a fine diner with good food and great prices.

I go every time I head to the cities. I love the quaint atmosphere, the people and the classic food. One of my favorite places to eat in Minnesota! read more

Breakfast all day! Loads of specials on the board. Home cooking. Friendly service!!! Located on a bike trail.

I sat at the counter (with its original boomerang Formica) and received water and a welcome right away. The egg salad sandwich was better than most; had a little zing to it, almost like there was pickle juice in the dressing (I didn't ask). Chicken and dumpling soup was fine for me but if you don't like things good and salty, this might not be the soup for you. Pumpkin pie was excellent. My waitress rendered lightning-fast, friendly service. I took a caramel roll to go which didn't make it home. I will absolutely stop again anytime I'm passing by Freeport! read more

If you are ever passing through in the afternoon and want a quick break. - and a piece of pie? Well this is your place. We passed on lunch after flying in from the west coast and were headed to Fargo. So this was a great afternoon snack. The blueberry pie was outstanding. I'm sure they all taste great. Very local. The farmers were everywhere. Go and enjoy. read more

I'm a big fan of this place. Once you can get past the locals giving you the "you don't look like you're from around here" face (ironically I live in the neighboring town) and find a seat, the wait staff promptly gets to you and grabs your drinks. The food comes out just as fast, and it's about as good as you can expect from a small town cafe. German night gets 5 stars. You always get just the right amount of food. read more

Charlie's is the place to go if you're looking for classic diner food. The waitstaff is pleasant and attentive and the food is always top notch. Try German night (Weds) or all you can eat fish (Fri) for a little variety or order a hearty breakfast which is served all day. read more

my car broke down outside freeport and i walked here and got a blueberry pie. AMAZING pie. best in the area.

How could they possibly screw up a simple cheeseburger? It was a grayish puck of mystery meat that had absolutely no color and no flavor of any kind. Just plain nasty. I mentioned my visit at my workplace and was not surprised at the number of bad experiences my coworkers have had here. read more

I've eaten here before and their food is good, Carmel rolls amazing. Today we stopped for pie, we were both disappointed. My husband got the banana cream and I got the strawberry rhubarb. We kept trying a bite hoping it'd get better, mine was like a custard which is not what a strawberry rhubarb pie is. The banana, it just didn't taste right. read more

Lovely small town cafe with good food at standard prices, fast service, and friendly staff. Not a big menu for breakfast, but adequate.. I did sit near the showcase for bakery items, and just barely managed to turn those yummy looking pastries down. Inspite of being nearly full with Viking fans, our order came quickly. read more
