CASH ONLY. This is a order to go spot…read more Quality ingredients, very basic sandwiches (this is a good thing, trust me) made fresh to go. I went with the #4 (Menny Special) and #7 (Che Si Dici). Both are very different, both are great. If you want something savory and warm- go with the #4. If you want something that's more 'Italian' and cold cut oriented with a hint of sweetness, go with the #7. Charlie's doesn't really overcomplicate their recipes. The menu is a bit long (given the different combinations), but that's because their experiments are tried and true. The bread is excellent, not sure if made in-house but they're light, toasted, holds the sandwich 'innards' well (though some tectonic sliding iykwim) but still makes for a perfect big bite. Now these are not MASSIVE heroes like Lioni's (this is a good thing), but do consider these sandwiches more of an indulgence/treat. Well worth the trip/price.

Tough to find a sit down restaurant in this part of Brooklyn. Counter style with a handful of…read moretables. All the sandwiches were freshly prepared for us. The hot prepared food looked very good with what looked like 20 different preparations of chicken...no joke. The food took a little while to come out as they cook fresh. The burger looked very good, no cheese of course as the restaurant is Kosher. I was a bit disappointed as the corned beef and pastrami were deli style sliced on a slicer then grilled. I was hoping for steamed, nonetheless the sandwiches were very good. Homemade onion rings were excellent as were the knishes which were my favorite. The restaurant is clean and there is a restroom. No bar, soda, water and seltzer available for purchase. Prices were reasonable given the kosher certification.

There's also a handwashing station that has little pieces of bread next to it, which is very great for a Kosher restaurant. I've never had fried kreplach before, but this was amazing.

There were two small plates of coleslaw at the other end of the table. We requested coleslaw for our end of the table and the very nasty Hispanic waiter said it's over there. We requested some for our end of the table - the nasty waiter begrudgingly brought it about 10 minutes later. Two people sitting opposite us ordered one kasha knish each but were not told the restaurant did not have any. Three potato knishes, two square and one round were served instead without any explanation or request for them. I ordered what should have been a restaurant special, pastrami, coleslaw and mustard served on an open knish. The knish was served ice cold, seeming to have just been pulled from the refrigerator and cut open. I asked for a knife to cut into the food but it never arrived. The pastrami was a fatty, inedible mess, next to no meat, just spices on room temperature meat fat. It was awful. The coleslaw and mustard were fine. Unfortunately, the dish as a whole was unpleasantly inedible. The same Hispanic waiter was rude to the person sitting next to me and the person sitting opposite me. He seemed intent on making it clear that customers were an inconvenience to him. While we were a large group other than us the restaurant was empty. With so few customers you'd think they'd at least make an effort with the food or basic courteous service. Nah, didn't happen. I would have liked to recommend Essen as a great kosher restaurant but I can't. My meal was awful, the waiter rude. Coleslaw was great, but nothing else was. I was very disappointed.

The…read morediner itself has a small, diner feel, but unfortunately the experience didn't match the atmosphere. The eggs and potatoes were fine, but everything else fell short. The coffee situation was strange, a small cup comes with only two refills, something I've never seen in a diner before. On top of that, it was hard to even get the attention of the curt waitress. The add-ons were the real insult. A $2 upcharge for cream cheese on a bagel felt excessive, and the sausage was an even bigger letdown. For an extra $9, I was given four very thin links that had been cut in half to make them look like more. The portion was worth maybe a dollar at best, and to make it worse, they tasted like bacon because they were cooked on the same surface.

The service was attentive, and we were able to place our order fairly quickly upon deciding. I knocked off a star because we ordered two pancakes for the table, but recieved three. When we immediately let the server know, she did not acknowledge the mistake or attempt to amend it. We already had a lot of food, so we ordered two because we knew we wouldn't be able to finish more than that. I did enjoy my omelette - I've never had a crabmeat omelette before and as a pescatarian, I was glad to see that option on the menu. It was flavorful and there was a substantial amount of crabmeat tucked inside. The pancakes were a bit dry and dense, so not our favorite. Overall, it was a nice, filling meal to start the year.

Especially with the Pac-Man machine. Employees are all very nice and on point with ordering. I ended up getting the steak flank wrap, garlic truffle fries and the Nutella latte.

Scrumptious. Lastly the steak wrap was so good. Couldn't take myself away from every single bite Would recommend this place
