    Hearty Breakfast
    Kiyanna G.

    My first time here. Super casual, friendly and inviting. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Omelette with Pancake

    Pure Southern A meat and two sides. Food **** Service ***** (shout out to Bailey from PBC) Cleanliness ***** Value ***** Men (because it serves breakfast all day) ********** In the south, before sushi, before ramen, before hibachi, before Gastropub your choices were mostly two meats and a side. So for me, this was nostalgic but you know what else, the food was good. But better than that, they serve breakfast all day and who doesn't love a good breakfast at all times of the day? But you know what else? Specials include country fried steak, meatloaf, Salisbury steak, do I need to go on? Okay, thanks for taking a walk down memory lane: Grits - perfect consistency, great. Fried Squash - OUTSTANDING, get it and thank me later. Mashed Potatoes - always good. Pancakes - I ordered mine with blueberries, so good and plate size. Omelette - really fluffy, choice of cheese and Ingredients. Meatloaf - very tasty. Really, good solid comfort food. Plus for us, our server Bailey was so positive and upbeat, it made the experience better. She is all smiles and knew people by name, which

    Shoutout to the local heroes staffed here at Charlie's ! This venue is a four walled container of hospitality, good eats, and a neighborhood feel. I am a fan of diners! It's that kind of nostalgic and comforting going to eat with my grandparents feeling. I love that the kindness, friendly banter, and attentiveness of staff makes one feel welcomed. As I read the menu, I felt it fun and appealing to my foodie taste buds. My faves were represented like grits, chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, fried okra, corn nuggets, etc... and they even had cheese curds! I know it was breakfast, but it was also my first visit. The server was kind enough to ask the kitchen if it was ok to order some not normal breakfast items. Yes! The kitchen was able to fit in my specific request at least for me today. I excitedly ordered the fried combo and chose my three favorites okra, corn nuggets, and cheese curds. Then I asked for chicken tenders, grits, and fruit. I was amazed by these cheese curds!!! The perfect crispy batter and the choicest chewy, stretchy, and just enough salty that you don't need any sauce! I just went to a fancy restaurant recently and Charlie's cheese curds win hands down! I did tell our server to pass on my compliments! The okra tasted fresh and still had crunchy texture. The corn nuggets were balanced with whole kernel corn and batter. The fruit tasted fresh, sweet, the correct texture, and refreshing. And the came the chicken tenders! I can tell these were meant to be a meal... these giant strips of white meat was lightly battered, crispy outside, and juicy inside. A generous serving of protein! I did need to take some home for a snack later on. And the grits were delicious and had the proper texture! Now, my hubby helped me out and ordered some of my favorites so that I could sample: savory sausage gravy and fluffy biscuits, and an extra patty of sausage. It was all so satisfying with cups of hot coffee that was attentively keep warm with refills. The patrons were all happy and I could tell that Charlie's had a lot of regulars as people chuckled, called out people by name and orders, and genuinely asked about each other's lives all aloud and cheerfully. I am glad that hubby brought me here! It was a great start to the day! Our Charlie's ambassador today was the one and only, Ms Bailey G. and she is part of Spirit that makes this venue have a special spot in my heart! We look forward to coming back for more favorites like liver and onions, black eyed peas, Mac and cheese, etc .... And more cheese curds :)

    It may not look like much from the outside, but it is certainly worth stopping! Inside is the black and white checked floor, a bookcase full of paperbacks, a basket of coloring books for the kids; overall, a nice family restaurant. Our server, Bailey, was smiling, energetic, and very helpful. The food was very good and very plentiful. Nice grits and tomatoes to go with the meals. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed

    Eggs, bacon and toast the basic we love.

    Perfect breakfast spot we had been searching for wonderful grits and eggs. Hot coffee and raised toast my favorite and will be back to this little diner gem!

    Country Girl Breakfast Plate

    Having Saturday brunch delivered to you is the best feeling after a long week. I really wanted to not leave my bed so I got out my delivery app and went searching. I settled on Charlie's Diner as their menu looked really good and down-home. I chose the Country Girl Breakfast Plate (Grits smothered in sausage gravy, cheddar cheese, three eggs, bacon or sausage, toast or biscuit) as it sounded right up my alley. Boy, I ate most of the meal and it laid me out. I had to take a nap to recover from the overwhelming, delicious, simple homecooking. I couldn't even eat it all but I'm glad I went with them.

    Ate their first breakfast a few days ago. Fast service, good food and reasonably priced. Place sits off the side of road and not easily noticed. Have never saw advertisements for it or heard people talk about it. Seemed to be clean and mostly in good shape. Noticed issues in men's bathroom that should be corrected though.

    Great Saturday morning family destination. The diner has a super cute retro vibe with some red and black booths, a juke box and classic photos. The service is great with only one server handling heaps of table with some back up from the busser/sometimes server. The food is delicious and the prices are practically throwbacks. The menu has your staples, like omelettes, pancakes, waffles, grits, French toast, sausage and gravy, and also corn beef hash. There is a nice lunch menu we haven't explored yet. There are books to grab, some outside seating and friendly diners nearby. We just discovered this gem and would join a Charlie's Club if they had one!

It's a typical old fashioned looking diner where you see the cooks behind the counter. There's also a nice little outside covered patio if you'd like to sit outside. Today we had the grilled cheese & fries and their chicken parmesan. Both were really good. There's a lot of chicken in the parm. We also finished it off with their amazing peach tea and the delicious banana pudding bread pudding. The menu had great variety and have never been disappointed.

They greeted me as soon as I walked in, asked the right questions, and made me feel welcome. However, there was a young man who was incredibly rude. The first thing he said to me was, "What are you picking up?" I responded, "Let's start with a hello. How are you?" Instead of acknowledging that, he simply repeated the same question. At that point, I walked over to the ladies, who were extremely kind and helpful. Now, onto the food. I'm genuinely not trying to let my customer service experience influence my opinion, but I have to be honest--the food was pathetic. It lacked seasoning and flavor. Even after adding the salt and pepper packets that came with the utensils, it only made a slight difference. Unfortunately, nothing about the meal would make me want to come back. Even my one-year-old refused to eat it, which meant we had to spend even more money to get food somewhere else. The one highlight was the biscuit. I believe it was homemade, and it was genuinely delicious--probably the best part of the meal. Aside from that, I can't recommend the food based on my experience.

We thought for sure they would make us sit outside in that heat but we got a decent table inside towards middle. We arrived there about 11:40am and table was ready at noon we sat at the table after host seated us for 40 mins before even being offered water or anything. Our waiter (Nicole). Came to table when we first arrived just to tell us she would be with us shortly just for us to wait almost an hour. ATP we are starved and super thirsty. 12:38 she came to table to say "I'll be wit y'all in a few" and looked back to see the table behind us was her table too but came after us. So she finally took our order after realizing we were still waiting patiently. The food came out within 15-18 mins and was fresh. We had no complaints on the food at all other than my grits was a little lumpy. But still a great flavor. Everytime our waiter came back she seemed to be irritated or frustrated, but you shouldn't take that out on the customers specifically ones who have been nothing but kind. After we finished eating she brung a payment book with one receipt and said "is it ok that it's all on one receipt?" But it was more like she was telling us and didn't ask before hand and didn't even let us answer. She sat the receipt down and just walked out as we were answering. We planned to have 3 different checks because we were going separate ways. I called the manager over and he fixed it immediately and apologized for that. Some people just don't need to work in customer service. I get people have bad days but that was a bad experience for our first time there. Everyone else was super sweet except her. Atleast our food was good. Her customer service is definitely a 4/10. Even the table behind us was upset and requested a refund on the food. I would definitely go back just wouldn't want her as a server!

There is a cozy feel when you walk in and there are tables and bar seating. We sat at the bar so were able to get seated quickly. I ordered coffee and their corned beef hash omelette. I was very intrigued by this being an omelette. I had a choice for my side and picked hash browns. The food came out fast and fresh. It was all very good! The hash browns were more tender less crispy but were seasoned well. I really liked the corned beef hash omelette too! Given we were seated at the bar, we encountered most of the staff as they came to grab drinks and food from the kitchen and everyone was super friendly. Saying hi and making small talk as they waited on a payment to process or as they grabbed coffee for their customer. It felt very welcoming and cool. If you haven't been, I recommend adding it to your list, especially if you want a break from chain eateries.
