Charlie's seems like a decent example of a traditional American restaurant. Based purely on the food, it's definitely more of a three-star place: the waffles are fine tasting but not crispy, the syrup is the really thick corn-syrupy type, the butter is not cold so easy to spread, the sausages and eggs are just... you've had them before, for better and worse. The bacon was a bit floppy which I think is a bit of a "your mileage may vary" sort of thing, but the one stand-out was the gravy on the biscuits. It was really unusually herby in a way I liked but my wife didn't; she wanted more sausage in the gravy. Still, on all points better than if you were to go to a Denny's or iHop or something. In the end it was fine, but nothing to recommend for or against on the food side. However, the atmosphere was eclectic and different, the tables and everything were comfortable, in good shape, and clean, and most of all, the server was good at her job. It made us for welcome and at home, so it was a pleasant visit. read more

Cute interior. Friendly, efficient staff. Full bar plus wide array if by the glass wine options. Terrific menu. Wonderful seasonal menus. (The shepherd pie was fabulous!) Reasonable prices. What's not to love? It's official - I'm about to commit myself as a Charlie's regular! read more

I went to Charlie's for Easter brunch and what a disappointment! This was my first time there and I've heard that had good food. I spent $50 each for a party of five $250 three "bottomless mimosas $36, tax and undeserved gratuities totaling almost $400. The food selection was minimal the roast beef was cold. The potatoes were over cooked and cold! The eggs Benedict were over cooked and cold! The waffle was cold. The bottomless mimosas were a joke the server never came back to refill them. The desert selection was a joke. I will never go back to this establishment again. read more

I have recommended this restaurant in the past, but the quality and quantity have really went downhill. I ordered chicken fried steak and the gravy they sent might as well been out of the tap water with pepper and food coloring. I had to throw it away. I wouldn't feed it to my puppy!!! read more

Charlie's is THE SPOT in downtown Puyallup! The drinks are always excellent, the food is ALWAYS great (awesome menu too) and the staff never fail to be the best in Puyallup. And on top of that, the vibe is super chill. This is mine and my wife's favorite spot in the area. If you're thinking about checking them out, I highly recommend it. read more

Great food and drinks and their service is always welcoming and professional. Our favorite is the stuffed mushrooms appetizer.

Love it here. A group of ladies always go there before Victorian Country Christmas. Good food, good service.

This restaurant went above and beyond when I brought a group of a 48 senior adults there for a surprise mystery luncheon. Our servers Missy and Zoe went above and beyond your normal servers, they treat every person in the group like they were special and important. Owners Stephanie and James along with Mark helped bring everything together to create a magnificent event for this group. And the food was amazing. We are all from Yakima, WA and the group talked about the food and the hospitality all the way home! Great job Charlie's, we look forward to coming to eat with you again!!!!!

My family has been coming here for about 5 years now. We live the atmosphere but several things on the Easter Brunch menu could be improved. Roasted potatoes are overdone and dry, to the point they're inedible. Vegetable medley is uncooked, not good for genle senior stomachs. Please cook the vegetables and improve the potatoes. The salad bar is on point and the family loves the waffle bar! The mimosa got weaker as brunch went on; tasted more like orange juice. Please, please read my reviews, they're meant to help you become an awesome place to eat in Puyallup. Happy Easter! read more

My girlfriend and I met at Charlie's for breakfast before a day of shopping together. Free parking can be found on the street or in the public parking lot. Charlie's offers family dining and a lounge. We opted for the lounge. A full bar and pull tabs can be found in the lounge, as well as a TV. Happy Hour is offered Monday-Friday from 2pm-6pm. Breakfast is served daily from 8:00am-1:00pm. While looking over the menu, I sipped on a Bloody Mary for $8.50. My girlfriend slurped on a Mac & Jack for $5.75. I chose the Charlie's Benedict for $16.49: two poached eggs, fresh spinach, avocado, and tomato on English muffins topped with hollandaise sauce. Served with breakfast potatoes. My meal was stacked with fresh veggies and was absolutely delicious. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs for $18.49. She's allergic to eggs and requested her meal without them. She stated she enjoyed her meal as well. Charlie's did not reduced the price of her meal or offer a complimentary substitution such as fruit for the eggs. You can do better Charlie's. Our server was friendly and efficient. Overall, Charlie's is an easy breakfast choice serving fair priced meals. read more

Family restaurant and full service bar in an area of town near a bunch of shops. I had the salmon basil pesto with mashed potatoes and green beans. The salmon was good, although I really enjoyed the sauce it. I appreciated that the salmon was not covered in the sauce, the sauce was on the bottom. You can decide how much you want. The potatoes were good, and I prefer my green beans cooked softer but they were acceptable. They are in the process of changing over the dessert menu for the summer so I had to skip the sweets. The server was very apologetic about that! read more

The pot roast is so good. I door dashed it and it got delivered very fast. Such a great little spot. Fun bar

Family restaurant style. Nice comfy spacious booth/ tables - great place for kids (we took our 3 & 6 years old). Free parking on the side of the restaurant designated for this restaurant. Food was yummy. They are very generous with the butter LOL... in a good way. The buns and toast, eggs had a nice amount of butter. The server we had might be new so she didn't know for example to bring a extra plate for our kid but she was trying her best. The more experienced server were very warm and friendly. read more

All the food was good but the street corn... was cold. Possibly previously frozen, which I don't mind if it was heated throughly. Zucchini sticks were crispy, salad was crunchy and tasty. I also really enjoyed the soup of the day, cheeseburger soup. It was hearty, comfort on a cold night. Overall the service and meal was good. read more

We had the sweetest server late on a Saturday afternoon. It was like Grandma's industrial chic house. With things like homemade pot roast, chicken fried steak, and chicken wings on the menu, the vibe definitely matched. The food was yummy and the service even better. read more

We had dinner here because our first choice was closed and we didn't want to move the car. We had a nice dinner for two and also thought it would be a great place to bring our young grandchildren. There are no TVs on the dinner side, the restaurant was quiet enough for family conversations, there were several gluten free dishes and the kid's menu was extensive. So, back we came a few months later with our children and their children. Dinner was a huge success. The grandchildren were given crayons to keep them occupied while dinner was prepared. Family conversation flowed at normal speaking volumes. Everyone found a dish they liked. The bar drinks and wine were tasty. And so on. The finale was ice cream for desert with a choice of toppings that included chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and, or sprinkles. We'll be back. read more

The old waitress with gray hair pulled back in the bar was so rude. I watched her dump one of our baskets of pull tabs into the garbage by accident. Then when I walked up to the bar to discuss it, she says in a loud voice ing front of every one sitting at the bar, " I cannot deal with her today." She says, " You don't need to know the difference in the tabs you pulled. I know. " I asked if she would please show me because I knew she dumped half our pull tabs. Another sweet kind waitress said they she check our tabs and wow - half of them were missing. I will never go back. read more

Have always loved this small place. I've only had breakfast here but never disappointed. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating to my "custom" order for their omelettes, and their biscuits are fresh. It's not "a looker", but great place to meet up . The coffee is fresh brewed and always a refill without asking. read more

Breakfast was a success, great food and drinks, and our bartender Sam provided excellent customer service!

Welcome to a downtown Puyallup's neighborhood restaurant known for quality takes on traditional American menu. Great location just off Meridian Ave and Main Street. Greeted as soon as we entered and seated quickly. Service was friendly and attentive. Dining area clean and recently updated. Nicely decorated and quality throughout the entire building as far as I could see. You can count on all the attention to detail comes through their food just as much as their efficiency in managing the dining area on a busy Sunday morning during Meeker Days. The portions will challenge even the heartiest of appetites like my own but I wouldn't be denied aside from a few home fries. The biscuits are fresh baked from scratch as was nearly everything else on the menu. We are looking forward to coming back to explore more of their menu and fresh seasonal offerings. read more

Our waitress was so rude, and passive aggressive. She did not refill our tables waters nor refill any drinks we had. We were the only people in the restaurant.. not to mention the chicken adobo was no where near made correctly as advertised, they served plain chicken and rice. read more

My cousin and I were in Puyallup for my father's memorial. We decided to look for a nice place to eat. We went to Charlie's because my father's name is Chuck and he went by Charlie to family members. We had the most amazing friendly server"Zoe" who treated us like she knew us forever. She had the friendliest smile and was very very attentive! I ordered Salmon dinner and she ordered the halibut plate. Everything was fresh and very yummy! We enjoyed ourselves so much we took my step-mom to Lunch on Sunday. Again we had an amazing meal but I neglected to take photos. We requested to sit in Zoe's section. Once again she was very attentive and friendly. She treated us like family this time. Our lunch was amazing, o ordered the turkey club, my cousin the chicken taco salad and my step-Mom had the pulled pork sandwich. I highly recommend this establishment and if you are in Puyallup I suggest going and you will have a great meal and a very friendly staff. read more

My first visit to Charlie's was Easter Brunch. Hands down one of the best if not the best Easter Brunch I have ever attended. Made a reservation for 4 a few days prior to the Holiday. The person on the phone was very accommodating given that they were filling up fast and availability was somewhat limited. When we arrived the hostess was very accommodating, friendly and was wearing a very warm smile. (Something very rare these days in a service business) We were quickly seated and our server (Michelle) shared the lay of the land and encouraged us to get started while she was getting our beverages. We started at the salad bar. Crisp green lettuce, shrimp, variety of other salads and muffins was the perfect way to kick the brunch off. After we finished our salads, Michelle was quick to arrive to take our plates and send us off for the hot foods. Truth be told, I made 4 visits to the buffet line. I could not get enough of the melt in your mouth waffles that were being made fresh every 2 minutes. 3 of my 4 visits to the buffet line, the chef was present checking the foods. He was very friendly and asked how we were enjoying the buffet. When was the last time you ever saw the chef even once checking on the food? Time and time again during our 90 minute visit, every staff member we came in contact with regardless of their job was smiling and made us feel right at home. Again, something very rare. As we departed, 2 of the hostesses were outside getting a breath of fresh air and GENUINELY thanked us for coming and wished us a Happy Easter. It was refreshing to leave a tip to staff that actually deserved it rather than expected it. Look forward to a return visit soon. read more

The food was great, but my problem was the bartender in the bar:(. Very abrupt and unfriendly.... Because of that we went into the restaurant part... she acted like we were bothering her and in the way... she had a blonde ponytail and probably mid 40's read more

Charlie's is a downtown icon. Honestly, I haven't been there prior to COVID changes. It's much brighter and tables are spaced far enough apart to offer privacy. Went there on a weekday for breakfast. Husband says his over easy eggs were the best he's ever eaten. Mine was a yummy chicken taco breakfast scramble which was accompanied by a fluffy biscuit. read more

I was the first customer on a sunny July morning. I was seated and immediately brought my soda and I made my order for Charlie's favorite, a vegan Benedict with spinach, avocado and tomato. Overall was pretty good but nothing special. The Benedict was kind of cold, but I blame that on the tomato and spinach. The service was great. read more
