    Great ice cream and a great place to stop by and check out. Great service and very kind I have been…read moregoing here for years.highley recomend.

    We've stopped in to Charlie's many times since buying our property in Hazelhurst 30 years ago --…read moresometimes to buy a hunk of cheese, sometimes for an ice cream cone, occasionally for a deli sandwich or grocery item; we also ordered food for a crowd from their catering kitchen. I have always been satisfied with their products and service. Chrlie's has a large variety of top quality cheese to choose from. Their deli sandwiches are made fresh to order with your choice of bread, deli meats, veggies and condiments. They don't skimp on the ingredients either -- their sandwiches make for substantial meal. The grocery department includes both staples and specialty items -- mostly at convenience store prices. Their ice cream is generic but acceptable and the scoops are always generous. For my daughter's wedding rehearsal night picnic we ordered pulled BBQ pork & hot turkey for sandwiches, potato salad, bean salad and a few other items from Charlie's catering kitchen. I'm not a fan of packing catered food to go in apparently reused cardboard ice cream cartons (because I'm not sure exactly how to clean and sanitize them after the ice cream is served) -- but everything tasted fine, all of our guests were satisfied, and I would definitely order from Charlie's catering kitchen again.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Marieke Gouda! We stop here 3-5 times every summer on our…read moreway back from visiting my mother-in-law, and it's great for both adults and children. The cheese selections are incredible, and they always have a bunch of samples out so you can taste before you commit. The Truffle Gouda is my all-time favorite, with the reserve coming in at a close second place! Everywhere you look, there's food! The employees are friendly, and the service is quick. My kids always get ice cream when we are here, and they have to go visit the cows. There's a playground, a giant jumping pillow, and a track for tricycles. We've never eaten here, but we've taken meals to go plenty of times. We are never disappointed. The restaurant is always busy, and the atmosphere is always full of energy.

    This review only relates to the cafe. We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and the cafe only had a…read morecouple of other tables with guests so it was really quiet. The waitress wasn't overly friendly, but whatever; the worst part was not being given straws for huge glasses of soda, or utensils. The best part was the appetizer of deep fried mushrooms. The avocado chicken caesar salad was so-so, it was just that the chicken, cucumbers, croutons, etc., were bland and the caesar dressing was like pale ranch dressing (which was just super odd). The classic burger had a thin, dried out patty. We would not bother to stop again.
