    Short weekend trip to Fort Wayne,IN and decided to try something new. Very welcoming interior and definitely unique. Service was good and the staff were friendly. Food was good but I did have to send my steak back. I ordered medium well and it was rare. Once it came back it was medium well. By that point I was ready to go.

    Food was all around fantastic. Really enjoyed my Gumbo and the Urban Cowboy was also really great. Burgers are also top notch I recommend any of them!

    Burrito Americano $12
    James L.

    While working in the downtown area of Fort Wayne I came across this place and decided to give it a try. The building this business is located in has two restaurants in it. A Japanese restaurant on the second floor while this businesses is located on the bottom floor. I was greeted by a nice older lady and a young lady upon my entering this business. At first I was going to place an order to go but I decided to stay and just eat there instead. After taking a look at the menu I decided to order the Burrito Americano Sliced chicken, lettuce, roasted corn and black beans, pico, feta, avocado, spicy mayo $12. This is a cold Burrito and it was pretty good. I'd order it again if ever in the area.

    Such a neat place! Love the decor...a little old rustic style was so cute. The 'window seat' looks like a must if you're a party of two. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable and helpful during our visit. Our order was taken quickly and food and drinks came out promptly. We didn't have to do a lot of waiting but we didn't feel rushed. The food was really good! We all got a steak of some kind for dinner. I went with the coffee crusted sirloin and Mac and cheese. It was delicious. Prices are a little high but well worth it. Definitely a recommended stop if you're going through Fort Wayne.

    Soupy mac and cheese. Under cooked asparagus.

    Parking was difficult but only due to the construction. Good note bread was great, and butter was good. Medium rare steak came out blue. The steak was also on a cajun mix that didn't go with the steak. They took it back to finish cooking it and burnt the seasoning. The sweet potato souffle has walnut thru out it, so beware. Mac and cheese were soupy. Asparagus couldn't cut stalks. Only could only eat the tops. Can't say I will ever be back here. Service was good she did her best to help. The place feels like a steak house somewhat but missing things. Lighting was pretty cool. They did remove the steak from the bill.

    We popped in for a quick lunch after a meeting downtown. The breadsticks are a nice touch, buttery and warm. I had the chicken Cobb salad with blue cheese dressing. Crisp mixed greens with bacon, egg and a moist and juicy fried chicken breast. The flavors in the breading were great. The restaurant is in great shape and well maintained. It's been around for a long time. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly with great recommendations. Always a great meal.

    Prime rib
    Shekila S.

    We chose this restaurant for its extensive menu for our friends who treated us to a concert at a local venue. We made rather early reservations and when we got there, we were promptly seated. The restaurant is older, rustic and was beautiful on the interior. You could tell, that the establishment was used to having large numbers of patrons. We were then greeted by our waitress who promptly took our drink orders. We had Old Fashioned's and skipped appetizers as we were pretty hungry and knew we were all hankering for beef! My husband had the coffee rubbed ribeye and the rest of us had prime rib. The old fashioned's were good--very drinkable, not the best we have had but decent, nonetheless. Our dinners arrived shortly thereafter and each was cooked to order. My friends ordered the gumbo and after a couple of bites, apologized and sent it back because it was tasteless. My prime rib was tender and tasty. Nothing to write home about, but lightly seasoned and cooked the way I liked it. I was curious as to my husband's steak, which had the coffee rub on it. We make this at home using Bobby Flay's recipe and love it! So we were curious as to how theirs would be. My husband said that it was "good " but not like the BF recipe that we use. The only disappointment was the creamed spinach that my husband had. It was barely creamy and was tasteless. For all of us, it was a satisfying meal--just was hoping to be wowed. So 3 stars it is! If there were no other places to go, we would return.

    Sorry ate two pieces of shrimp already

    My jambalaya risotto was fantastic. Wonderful atmosphere and very nice people. You definitely won't be disappointed.

    Gulf Shrimp and Salt Pepper Brussels
    Dave S.

    Mixed reviews in our dinner party of 5. NY steak and Jambalaya Risotto were hits!!! The misses were the Gumbo! Omg based on that alone I would not come back. Terrible!!! Shouldve never been served! But the waitress warned me before hand that many dont like it. I was not thinking and ignored here not so subtle hint. Non edible. Resembled mush and a nasty dull brown color. No shrimp, no chicken. 2-3 slices of sausage and 3-4 day old rice. Could smell the roux before tasting. It smelled burnt. Well it tastes worse than it smelled. Crab cakes were mediocre at best. Mushy and lacked crab chunks. The Chicken wings were poorly cooked. My Gulf Shrimp blackened were so so. The Brussels however were delicious. The German Chocolate cake was dry/old and the frosting was not bad. Others has Yellowfin Tuna cooked med-rare blackened. Said lacked taste and wouldnt order again. I personally wouldnt come back, but if I were, I would get steak! Service was good. Drinks are very good!

    From the moment we walked in, it was an amazing atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming. Making reservations was super easy and even had a special place reserved because it was our anniversary! Our server Chelsea, made excellent recommendations, and was so quick despite us ordering so much off the menu! It's clear she truly cares about the customer experience. The combination of great food and even better service made this meal unforgettable. Can't wait to come back!

It was so loud on this night that we struggled to have dinner conversation. The fry flight was fun for the party to sample. The tots were nice and crisp and meaty. The sweet potato fries had a bold sweet potato taste but were disappointingly limp - first time they have been this way. The flat fries were uniquely thin and crispy. The cheese sauce was a unique blend of different cheeses that didn't taste like cheese. More of a smooth, mild and somewhat plain sauce. The ketchup had a nice bold tomato taste. The ranch dip was fairly unique with very faint ranch and oil taste. My wife loved the Southwest bowl. Very fresh and with lots of healthy add ins.

The salmon was jerk, salmon, and the whole thing was a delicious repast. We had a appetizer of a couple bowls of their homemade chips. Unlike many places that don't salt them. These were salted just the right amount not too salty and I can't say anything bad about it. Our server was terrific and his name was Alex and the place is shaping up.

Charlie's is also good for larger groups...and kids! Charlie's place is a large facility with lots of seating. The hosts are friendly. Making an on line reservation is easy. They always seem to have plenty of staff to serve and make you feel comfortable. Kudos to the team for developing a more attractive and welcoming lobby area! Sunday afternoon is brunch. They have a different menu than a normal lunch or dinner menu. Those menus are usually large and full of great choices. The brunch menu is much narrower and dominated by breakfast items. There are some non breakfast items...but not many. My wife had the breakfast tacos. She really liked the egg and bacon mixture. The sour cream and salsa sauces blended the tastes nicely. The Cobb salad was very fresh and tasty. There were lots of side ingredients such as egg, avocado, bacon, blue cheese, tomato and cucumber. The grilled chicken was plentiful and moist. Just enough grilled and seasoned taste to blend right in with the ingredients. The home made honey mustard dressing was consistent with what you would expect from honey mustard.

Although, there was a couple really drunk gals there and a server asked the bartender to cut them off, in that kind of joking but not joking way. The bartender didn't cut them off.
