We ordered blue cheese dip, the egg rolls, broccoli cheddar soup, a hamburger, and two grilled cheeses. The blue cheese dip and egg rolls were phenomenal. My husband enjoyed his burger. My mom and I were not fans of our grilled cheeses at all. They were extremely basic and honestly I could make a better one at home for a small fraction of the price. The other food we had though was great. The blue cheese dip was especially amazing for me - so creamy and delicious. We might go back but will definitely avoid the grilled cheese if we do. Service was good and good vibes here. read more

We were on a road trip and stopped in Springfield OH. The area is nice to walk with beautiful wall murals to enjoy. Dinner here was delicious! House made chips always my go-to and they did not disappoint. The appetizer portobello mushrooms were amazing. The service was warm and welcoming. read more

Tried this place for the first time tonight. They were out of the pierogis and fried green tomatoes. Then we ordered chicken fried chicken. It's supposed to come with cheddar cheese grits and bourbon bacon glazed green beans. The grits were a cold congealed heap, no cheese flavor whatsoever, the green beans were just unseasoned fresh green beans. The chicken was delicious, that's the two stars. The grilled cheese was a greasy piece of bread. Everything needed a good dose of salt and pepper! Needless to say, we will not go back. read more

It was actually a bit of poor fortune that brought us to Charlo's in Springfield; my wife's mother was in at Springfield Regional for some recovery following a heart issue, so after a brief visit with her, we elected to find some dinner before heading home. And, really? From 20 years ago when I was a Wittenberg student? Downtown Springfield has really started to come alive. And Charlo's is yet another sparkling droplet along Fountain Ave. We were seated almost immediately; our server was friendly and personable, who seemed genuinely happy to see us. For a weekday, the restaurant was about half full, though more tables started filling around the 7pm hour. The food, though? A true winner. The chicken-fried-chicken was moist, with a crunchy crust/breading, but the gravy is really what made it sing. The white cheddar grits might have used a touch more cheese, but were still phenomenal. And the green beans? Exactly the way I never got them as a child: flavorful, crisp, delicious. My plate was *cleaned* by the end. My wife's steak was cooked exactly to her specification, though she really appreciated their roasted brussels sprouts and potatoes even more. And, our daughter outright gorged herself on an upscale mac and cheese that had me drooling. I know we'll be back to Charlo's. It's well worth your time and money! read more

My first time visiting Charlos! Got the butchers cut tonight and it was fantastic! Came with salted spuds and Brussels sprouts. I was thinking they'd be mashed potato's, but we're the home fry type. After trying them, this dish would be better with mashed instead, but they were still good. The Brussels sprouts were to die for. read more

Enjoyed a lunch with my wife and friend Diane. Dropped in after reading Yelp reviews and they weren't wrong. Our server was Amanda and she was genuine and happy. Gave suggestions and was fun to talk to. We had fried green tomatoes, shrimp Po Boy, catfish po boy with sweet potato fries and perogies. Everything was good, the restaurant is nice and clean. Just one suggestion turn the temperature down on your deep fryer. Will be back, give them a try!! read more

Best place to eat in Springfield. Flavorful food and great service. Regular menu items are really good and specials are frequent and usually sell out fast. read more

We wanted a place halfway between Dayton and Columbus to meet our son. Charlo's was perfect! We were seated immediately around 11:30 on a Saturday morning and started with the fried green tomatoes and Nashville hot chicken appetizers to share. Chicken was good but the fried tomatoes are served with pimiento cheese and red pepper jelly...the combination was a heavenly mix of crunch, creamy, and sweet spicy! I would order it every day. We also had the catfish po'boy (very tasty with yummy tartar sauce), the fried chicken sandwich, and the Cobb salad with a scoop of chicken salad. If you like chicken salad, you will love theirs! I am so happy we found Charlo's! read more

Heard good things about Charlos so we tried it tonight. Ordered it to go and it was great. All of us ordered pork chop dinner and it was fantastic. Pork chop were moist and tender and very flavorful. Mac and cheese with green beans were a great addition. Looking forward to trying more of the menu!!! read more

Everything we ordered was great, definitely recommend if stopping by the area. Fried chicken salad and homemade potato chips were my favorite. read more

Got takeout salads and perogies. Large portions and delicious, at a very reasonable price.

I had the NY strip steak with a side of green beans. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. I ate too much, but there was nothing I could do. It was too good. The service was excellent. I want to eat here every time I come too Springfield. read more

Food was incredible. Loved the Mac and cheese and Hot Chicken. Ambiance was fitting for the historic district. Service was great!

Food is always amazing no matter what you get the tacos, quesadillas, elote(not always on menu) hands down one of my favorite places to head to. Service is always on par ,line or not you aren't standing for long before you get to order read more

Charlo's is a pleasant addition to downtown Springfield. Its offerings are inspired by New Orleans Creole and Cajun cuisine. The dishes we sampled, shrimp po' boy and fried green tomatoes were quite good. The service was attentive and friendly. The interior has a nice urban vibe. Definitely recommended. read more

Awesome spot. Great dinner options. Reasonably priced for amount of food you were given. Definitely going back there. Would highly recommend!! read more

Food was good. The hamburger and tomato soup was really good. Was a nice lunch. Atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing.

Charlo's was recommended to me when my original choice wasn't available. I honestly didn't know it was there, although it's been a while since I'd been downtown Springfield and I knew some new places were set to open. I was there for lunch, and I found the menu to be very interesting. My friend ordered the Black Bean Burger with a cup of the soup of the day (Roasted Red Pepper & Gouda). I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich with Poblano Pepper Pimento Cheese along with chips on the side. Both my friend and I found the sandwich buns to be less than they could be, so we opted to leave the bun. My friend reported that her burger and soup were very good, and she'd definitely order them again. My chicken was good, but JUST this side of being overcooked. The flavor was good, tho. I was very disappointed with the pimento cheese. You could BARELY tell it was there, so that was disappointing. If that is your big twist for upgrading the sandwich, then there ought to be a good bit of it!! I wasn't sure what the 'seasoning' was supposed to be on the chips, but it wasn't very distinctive. I left them on the plate along with the bun. My experience will NOT deter me from returning!! The menu is very creative and inviting, but there just seems to be a disconnect with the execution. I do look forward to another visit for a meal, and to take more time to peruse the market to shop some of the unique pantry items offered for sale. read more

Downtown Springfield in the Dora district. First time here but love the owners food truck. The dinner menu is a bit more upscale. I had a cobb salad which was huge and delicious and my husband had the salmon over baby herbed potatoes. The salmon was delicious. Crisp on the outside and moist inside. Dessert was peach cobbler cheesecake which came with individual tiny bottles of milk! So cute. Service was great. Ambiance is retro industrial. The waiter tells us they are hoping to have wine and beer in the future. We will definitely return. read more
