This was one of best dining experiences I've had all year- maybe ever!! What made it so good? The staff was amazing, the food was delicious and the prices were outstanding for the overall experience. But the above and beyond came from one of their employees, Alicia, who was kind enough to offer to drive us back to our cars because it had started pouring rain! (We had parked several blocks away because town was busy because of the Milford sidewalk sale) That level of customer care is rare, and was much appreciated! read more

Yes yes yes!!! I'd been craving Gus's famous fried chicken (from Memphis) for a while! When my friend suggested Charlie's I had my doubts. Boy oh boy am I glad we went!! Chicken was perfection! The perfect amount of batter, chicken was so tender and juicy! I'm not a huge fan of gravy so getting it on the side was perfect for me. My mom got the bourbon maple salmon and the woman ate the whole thing!! She's a leftovers lover, so her finishing her plate is very unlike her!! My friend go the best dish, in my opinion. He got the walleye and fries!! It's HUGE, delicious and fresh!! The tartar sauce is also a hit, something I find is always a hit or miss at restaurants!! We were celebrating a birthday so got the peach cobbler. So yummy!! The only thing I'd change is instead of whipped cream serve with ice cream!! 10/10 would recommend!! Live music on Tuesdays is also a great add on!! Our 20 month old loved the music! read more

What an amazing experience at Charlie's! We were excited to try out this bourbon bar. It came highly recommended. First off, I love Milford'. Charlie's on Main is quite popular. We walked in and the bourbon wall was impressive! We enjoyed quite a few pours with great recommendations from the bartenders. I ordered the Rib Eye with Collard Greens and my Bf got the hot chicken sandwich. We both loved the good! The deviled eggs were also fantastic! If you're into bourbon, this is a place for you! read more

This is such a delightful place to dine! Great setting, excellent ambiance and the friendliest staff! The mood is chill and energetic at the same time. If you're here for bourbon and libations, you're in luck! Huge selection and they also infuse bourbon into some of their dishes. If you're here for the food, you have found the right place for delicious home cooking! My new favorite: smothered chicken and gravy. I swap out the mashed potatoes and get the fries with lots of gravy! Quite the dreamy meal. The chicken and waffles are a must get! It will be devoured! I can't wait to come back for the meat fabulous meal! read more

It was our first time going and the waiter was especially helpful with recommendations. The corn fritters were denser than I expected but very good. He said that the fried chicken was a fan favorite but my Burgoo stew was by far the best thing we had there. Will definitely go back. read more

Charlie is the model restaurant owner. Greets you with a smile, asks about the kids, and on a busy night, you'll see him clearing tables. Oh, and I haven't found a better old fashioned anywhere in the world. read more

Just at Charlie's the other night with a friend! Great atmosphere and the seasonal drinks were amazing! Service was quick and we saw Evan James from The Voice there singing! Gotta love live music! read more

Nice place to eat food was good! Nice size portions. Country fried steak was good. Butter cake was good

The macaroni and cheese was perfection! I also had a honey chicken dish but I can't even remember it because the macaroni was so good! I mean evening I tried tasted great. The have a full bar which rocks! The service was great except they kept opening the sliding doors and several tables were cold. The ambiance is that of a chill restaurant/ bar. Kids are welcome so bring the littles. read more

Always great food and service at Charlie's Still! Very cozy place to meet up with friends. My daughter loves their Mac and cheese.

The service was good, but the food took forever which happens, but she never returned to just give us an update. The food was not as expected. I had a skillet with greens, grits and pork belly, but there was none of the latter. A separate plate with a small amount of pork belly cubes was brought out. The dish was much better then My husband got jambalaya, but there was no chicken in it although the menu stated there was. There was just a little a little bit of rice. Flavor was good otherwise. The decor is cool, but we would not return. read more

Very artsy southern bar & grill! We tried the pulled pork sandwich and smothered fried chicken. Both were delicious! The potatoes were a little cold with the chicken, but they still tasted good! We shared the peach cobbler for dessert! It could've had a little more crust, yet still tasty. The food came out quickly, and we thought the service was a tad slow. Great place in Milford overall!! read more

My Wife and I just finished up a week-long "staycation" and we visited Charlie's twice. In the last year I've grown to appreciate whiskey - and Charlie's delivers on that. Their selection is enormous. Over 400 pours I think? Bourbon, rye, scotch, Japanese, Canadian, and Irish whiskeys. And the pricing is extremely fair. Their "flight of the week" is tremendous value. During my recent visit it was a mix of Green River and Bardstown whiskeys. I also enjoyed a pour of Russell's Reserve 15. In addition to the whiskey, the food was incredible. The southern fried chicken and mashed potatoes, just wow. The walleye breading is incredible. The catfish bites are the best I've ever had. Their kitchen has yet to let me down. Our servers have always been excellent. They are prompt and knowledgeable, and check in just often enough. Lastly, I'm not a huge live music guy, so I really appreciate the patio in the summer. It makes for a great evening in downtown Milford. I'm looking forward to becoming a regular patron here. read more

Fun popular place in downtown Milford with great food & friendly service! Especially perfect for bourbon lovers!

Great food, great news, great service, and exceptional drinks! The bartenders know what to do with bourbon!

Popped in here for a quick drink and appetizer and the place was pretty hopping. It has a pretty good vibe with nice decor too given it more of a classy bar feel. It has plenty of televisions if you're looking to watch a game and a nice outdoor deck area to enjoy (the weather was a bit too cold for that when we went). The service was good, the hostess was able to seat us pretty quickly and the server was pretty friendly and looked after our table well. As for the food I can't speak too much about that we just had some fries which were seasoned well and tasty but a little over cooked. The drinks we ordered though were pretty good especially their craft cocktails. I did notice that the place offers meat substitute (Beyond Meat patties) if you want to do a vegetarian or vegan burger, and they are willing to go the extra mile to make some of their other options vegan when we asked. Next time I am in Milford I will definitely try this place again to explore their food a little more. read more

Had a great dinner. Group of 3 everybody was satisfied. Only got a picture of dessert.

Nice decor food is good . Plenty of liquor choices if that's your thing . Ability to eat and walk across the street for an ice cream

I was here during Milford Memories. I have never been to Milford before and I was blown away by the incredible hospitality of the staff. Especially the kitchen manager! He ensured I was taken care of and went above and beyond to get me what I needed. I'd recommend this place to anyone that comes to Milford! read more

Great atmosphere and food. Long waits on weekends, be prepared. Best margaritas we have had.

Wow! 5 stars easily! This place was fantastic! We were recommended this place by a very nice employee at a store nearby. And we are so glad we stopped in! It's decorated like a still and it's very cute! We had the Mac on main, which was absolutely amazing. The mix of salty and sweet was right up my alley. My husband had the walleye, he said it was perfectly fried and seasoned We recommend getting the cornbread and asking for both of the hot honeys that they offer. read more

We love Charlie's Still on Main! Comfort food, live music and a great drink menu . We also order catering for our family parties and it's always a big hit! read more

Best bourbon selection in the area hands down. The weekend brunch options are awesome. Though a bit heavy. I like the chicken and bread pudding and the cure. Overall I cannot recommend enough. read more

Had dinner with an old friend. We both really loved this place. The menu was fantastic. We opted for deviled eggs as an appetizer. Some of the best I've eaten at a restaurant. It's hard to mess them up, both most restaurants seem to find a way to these were served on pickle chips with bacon jam. My friend had the chicken and waffles. She really enjoyed it. The chicken was juicy and tender. It was a filling portion. I had the fillet and veggies. It was cooked perfectly. After seeing others enjoy their shrimp and grits, jambalaya and walleye, I'll be going back to try those dishes as well. We sat outdoors. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Friends went to Charlie's for dinner. They each paid for their meals with charge cards. The next day, both had charges on their charge cards, one for $1500, the other $2000. They called Charles to report it and were told there's nothing they can do about it. I will never go there when they let their servers get away with this. read more

Just left Charlie's Still after an awesome late lunch with the Hubbs. We've been here a couple times before, and noticed there were many new additions to the menu, so we came out for another visit. The first time we stopped here we realized that it was very much a Bourbon/Whiskey-themed Southern-style place... The menu featured a lot of dishes we weren't necessarily familiar with-- shrimp & grits, fried green tomatoes, jambalaya, etc. There are TONS of new additions to the menu since we last visited, and everything looks incredible. From fresh seafood, BBQ, sandwiches, and steaks.... to bountiful salads, mac & cheese dishes, and decadent dessert choices, there is truly something for everyone here! I'm a salad girl, so I ordered the Harvest Salad, which was delectable-- I cleaned my plate! The roasted Michigan beets with goat cheese and Traverse City cherries... uggghhhhh! (lol) SO GOOD! My husband ordered a bowl of chili (which is enormous, by the way!) and the Southwestern Salad with grilled chicken. He loved both, as the chili tasted like it had been simmering all day and the salad was fresh with different levels of flavor throughout. All in all we had a great meal at the perfect time today. Coming in on a Friday afternoon before the dinner crowd rushes in is the best time to eat! The vibe here is cool, dark, historic....and it honestly doesn't feel like you're in downtown Milford. Charlie's Still has NULU/Butchertown energy (hip artsy/foodie districts in Louisville, Kentucky)... You'll never want to leave! read more

After a bike ride around Kensington on a beautiful spring day, we wanted a nice lunch at someplace outside in Milford. We came across Charlies and it met all of our needs. We were seated at a great table right along Main Street in a shade covered part of the outdoor seating area - it was perfect! The menu had a lot of great choices. We started with te Deviled Eggs. We always love these wherever we go, but these had the added benefit of caramelized onions with bacon jam - yum! We all decided to get salads - my wife and I had the Roasted Apple Salad and my daughter got the Watermelon and Feta Salad. The were all very fresh with a big portion size (almost too big) and tasted great. We also shared a side of fries and a side of mac and cheese and those were also very good. I would highly recommend this place the next time you're in Milford! read more

I usually score based on the 5 criteria to coincide with the five stars, but this one negative aspect affected the other to bring it down to three stars. I'll jump right in: service. Our waitress, let's call her Z, was great and nice and prompt......until after we got our food (which was excellent as always). She ghosted us completely. Never came to see how our food was, if we needed another drink or refills. Just gone. I knew where she was though. She was outside talking with someone that wasn't work related. I had to flag down a different waitress for boxes and the bill and I even told her our waitress disappeared on us. So needless to say, that experience brought the vibe down. Very unprofessional. I'll be honest I hesitated writing this review cause I don't like getting people in trouble...however, this is how they learn. There are consequences for actions and hopefully she can learn from this. Pending managements handling of it all. read more

So Charlies is perfect (well, it can be hard to get in because it is perfect and everyone wants to eat there). We usually sit at the bar if there is room, and love the comfy bar stools and the great service we get. The vibe of the place is so well thought out with great attention to detail. We've tried several things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. My favs are the jambalaya, the Bayou Hunters Chicken, and the Pork Chop. My hubby raves about their ribs and swears they have the best Sangria in town. They also have live music, which is a major bonus. I highly recommend. read more

Food, service, ambiance all good, place puts out good food, workers know the menu and some light entertainment some nights.

Charming town/restaurant Great food! Friendly, attentive service (w/o being intrusive;) 3 of 4 of us ordered the amazing fried walleye. Great flavored breading--that & the filet cooked perfectly As a Walleye fan & SE Mich resident of most of my 76 years, this was the best I've tasted! Kudos to the chef on 9/9/25 Second visit for 2 of us--thx to the others who had introduced us in our previous visit;) We look forward to our next Only slight drawback--it was a bit noisy & this was a Tuesday afternoon. It made it hard to have a conversation for our annual Michigan get-together. Maybe noise absorption panels to walls or ceiling (?) read more

Everyone loved it!! Can you guys open up a restaurant in Grandville please? We were visiting family on the east side this weekend and we went there for dinner. We all loved our meals. And I definitely want to go back and will lobby to go there when we visit family again lol. I got the chicken and waffles and it was the best I ever had. Waffle was crispy, chicken was tender and crispy, and their maple bourbon syrup was tasty (has bourbon flavor but not overpowering). The service was fantastic just like you'd expect in a southern restaurant. Ambiance was nice. Definitely had a southern vibe inside. Expect to wait 30 minutes for a table around busy times (Friday and Saturday's) as there's no reservations. read more

We came for an exclusive event - Bourbon Women of Michigan, which was a 4 course meal with Bourbon tasting. So happy my wife signed us up for this... First course was a poached pear salad - amazing taste with the pecans, Michigan cherries and goat cheese. Paired with a Sonoma Chardonnay. Second course was the roasted butternut squash soup - super yummy with candied pecan, brown sugar and whisky cream. Paired with Slane Irish Whisky. Third course was a cola-glazed beef tenderloin with potatoe croquettes and glazed carrots - oh my! Paired with Jack Daniels #7 Select. And the fourth course was Dolce de Leche cheesecake with salted dark chocolate sauce. Paired with Old Forester Statesman. All kinds of bourbon tasting today - Charlies is built for that!!! We love this place and will continue to return. The ambiance, the fun atmosphere and the fantastic food makes this restaurant a real gem in Milford. read more

Friday 8/29/25 6 PM: Jambalaya was excellent...filet was tasty but just OK (had tough spots). Big issue was service: we sat at bar and bar tender was more interested in reliving his glory days with other bar patrons than taking our order (had to place order with barback). He never checked on our food, if we wanted a 2nd drink, etc. Found time to bring us take home box and bill. read more

We ordered the deviled eggs and catfish bites for appetizers AMAZING! For dinner we ordered jambalaya again amazing! Food came quickly and was hot. My only negative was we honestly could've shared our plates which isn't a bad thing We will definitely come back great place loves the ambience! Staff was beyond friendly! read more

One of the best whiskey and bourbon selections in metro Detroit (further out). People are cool and this is 100 percent a bourbon bar vibe, which I dig. If you want to build your experience and education on bourbon - a must stop. read more
