Surfside Charlie's was packed. And loud. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Or we could go outside. Our table left so we finally got seated. They had a list of different martinis so I asked for a tiramisu Tini. Delicious and it comes with a cookie. For dinner I ordered the meatball dish, he ordered the special prime rib. My meatballs came with French bread. They were pretty good. No dessert. If you see me there, stop by and say hello. read more

Awesome atmosphere. Tons of bar seating. The bartender was nice and helpful. All 5/5. She recommended the Philly rolls. They would have been amazing had they not been fried in the same grease as seafood. The initial taste was disgusting. The beer was not cold. 3 stars. They can fix these 2 problems. read more

What a disappointing experience. Waited 90 minutes for food. We were a party of 12 but many came and went while we sat there. Couldn't get timely appetizers, pasta served cold, pan seared salmon looked boiled. And management was rude, and the friends sitting with the owners/managers were abusive, swearing at us as customers! Never recommend this place of business! read more

Friends and I went to Surfside Charlie's this past week. It was very busy and now I know why. The food was delicious and you certainly can't beat the price. I had the breaded pork, mashed potatoes, corn and a side salad; all for $12.50. can't get that in CT, which is where I'm from. The atmosphere was warm and festive. I highly recommend stopping by, especially on a Tuesday, and be sure to tip the staff as they are very friendly and accomodating. read more

First time here. We are from out of town so we like to try different places when we are here. First impressions: initially, we were a bit skeptical bc there was live music when we pulled up. Luckily, it was outside and we were able to sit inside. (We like to be able to converse and live music often makes that difficult.) Upon entering, the dining room was basically empty. A few people at the bar but very light for 5:00. (There were several people outside on the deck for the live music though...that definitely made a difference) Our server, Kate, came to our table quickly and was extremely friendly and helpful. Food: we ordered the bruschetta appetizer. Wow! It was excellent. My wife said that if we go back she would consider ordering that as her meal...it was that good. For our meals, my wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich with the cucumber salad, and I got the BBQ chicken flatbread. Both of us were pleased with our choices. She really liked the cucumber salad. I thought the flatbread was delicious and quite large. The menu is fairly basic and standard, but what we had was very good. Overall, it was a good choice for a quick dinner. There were a few other things I thought looked good as well, so we may just return when we are back in the area next year. read more

Food was amazing and very big portions. We had the pretzel bites, Philly steak roll (recommended by Brandi our waitress) and my hubs got the pepperoni chicken sandwich. All was so good, staff super attentive and Brandi was the best!!! read more

The food was basic in my opinion, but I see why the older crowd loves it so much. Very fun atmosphere which I loved! I did not like their house margaritas. I wouldn't go back unless someone else really wanted to go read more

Brunch visit. Eggs and sausage were good. French Toast was very good, maybe the best I've had in the area. Home fries were not. Service was good and I like the atmosphere. read more

I stopped by this morning before lunch service started. A waitress outside said, " can I help you"! I said I was looking for a PT bartending job. She said, " hold on, I'll ask the manager", never caught her or the managers name but she didn't even walk towards to meet me or say hi( I had my resume in hand). She said..." Nah, I'm good"! I couldn't believe how rude and unprofessional she was. Thought the upper management should know a bit more customer service training might be in order. I have 35+ years experience so their loss but I was really taken aback at her bad attitude! read more

We stopped there to try it out. The place wasn't busy at all. You walk in the door and the sign says wait to be seated. There was a man playing his guitar and singing. The staff was at the bar talking. I kept looking to see if someone would say grab a table or even acknowledge that my wife and son and I had walked in the door. One worker was to the right of the bar had noticed me looking then put his head down and walked around the corner. We stood there an and listened to one whole song that the guy was singing. Grant it he just started singing the song when we walked in. So when he finished I looked at my wife and said they must not need our money and we went to another restaurant. read more

Went first time to this Restaurant Bar. It is a great spot for family and friends to gather. Many choices on the menu is bound to please anyone. Service was good. Food was well prepared and very enjoyable. This is a casual place so no need to dress up. Quiet enough to have a nice conversation. They play games most nights for entertainment. There is outside seating and they are pet friendly. read more

Surfside Charlie's is a go to for us. The food specials cannot be beat. Service at bar is always quick and bartenders are very attentive.Honi and Amanda are like a fine oiled machine they work so well together. Stop on bye and enjoy! read more

I haven't even started my meal and I'm ready to leave. I'm here with my family and we can't even have a conversation. The music is so loud that it overpowers everything else. I can't even talk to the person next to me without shouting. Regardless of how good the food is, I will never ever come back here or recommend it to anyone else. read more

Good food and service. The wings are great. Haven't had anything that wasn't good tasting. The live music is a plus. Very roomy.

The burger was delicious! Fries were hot and crispy. Sweet tea was also delicious. Our waitress was attentive. Would definitely go back.

great restaurant and bar, staff was amazing. great breakfast, get there early for breakfast fills up fast..., tons of buckeyes fans. OH......IO!!!!! read more

Let me first say that I like Surfside Charlie's but they have a problem that must be solved. The specials are great but the food always comes out cold. Had the meat loaf special last night and the meat loaf was Luke warm. Cord was cold and so was mashed potatoes. I know they get busy but serving cold food is unhealthy and unacceptable. Surfside Charlie's you can do better. Talk with your staff and find a way to serve hot food for everyone. Will try again one more time. read more

Food was great! Understaffed!!! Still, good job! We sat outside, nice night, uncomfortable chairs. read more

The food was fantastic and the service was very fast. I simply needed a to-go order and I heard they had a great chicken sandwich & the best local sweet potato fries. Despite being busy for lunch, the food came out less than 10 minutes and it was delicious! I'll definitely be back for more. read more

We have come here many times with family and friends. Their specials are great. Burger night and wings night are fun and a great meal for a very reasonable price. Service has improved immensely and live music is good. Friendly staff and I really like eating outside. We plan on returning soon. read more

Definitely overrated. Seems that if you're a familiar face you're greeted and treated better than new faces in the dining room. This isn't how you grow new business. Food didn't meet expectations. read more

This was my first visit to the current restaurant at the spot. The service is great and the atmosphere is casual they have live music. Good night we were there. We had the pretzel and meatballs for our appetizers. The pretzel was tasty and we all loved the cheese sauce. The meatballs were tender and homemade. My son ordered the chicken wings and they were very tasty. I have the shrimp Poboy. The shrimp were so big that four covered the sandwich. The cucumber salad was delicious and was topped with feta cheese. For dessert I tried the Keylime pie in a jar. It was tart and a perfect little dessert after a great meal. They have specials during the week as well as other special nights like trivia. It is more of a local place so I would recommend it if you need a break from the touristy restaurants. read more

My service was fine. Just stopped for a beer. Paid my bill with a 5$ bill and got $2 change. Thought that was fine and then I looked at the bill and it said I was supposed to get $2.31 change. I asked the barmaid why I only got $2 back and she said they don't deal with change, they just round up or down. She did offer to get my $.31 back and I said that wasn't necessary and I was curious. She said a lot of bars do that. I said I have been many places and never encountered that. Please let me know where else that is policy. read more

Surfside Charlie's is a great place to go and chill and enjoy a beer and bar food. The staff an always pleasant and the atmosphere is laid back. The food is good and there's plenty of TVs on the walls. They also have a nice outdoor dining deck where they have live entertainment during the peak season. Being a new part-time local at Surfside, it has become one of my favorite go-to's. Oh, and they have golf cart parking right at the entrance. If you're looking for a romantic place to eat or don't that's conducive to large groups, this is not the place to go. Although they have plenty of seating, they don't have banquet rooms and large tables. Otherwise, it's a great please to hang out with friends and relax. read more

First time for us. Fun vibe, live music and good food. If you don't go during happy hour it can be pricey. A piece of carrot cake was $9.50, ridiculous for a place like this or anywhere. $6 for a draft domestic beer is twice as much as a local competitor. On the plus side they have a lot of special deals all week and the service was very good. read more

Fish and chips was very disappointing. Fish was tough and greasy. Chicken wrap had an off taste. Really tried to eat it but ended up eating very little. Not a good experience. read more

Server was very nice! Monday was $5 burger night and the place was pretty full! The burgers were juicy and hot. Meat was very fresh; the only criticism would be that the meat was not seasoned-even salt and pepper would go a long way. The onion rings were beer battered and crisp deliciousness, and the cucumber salad with feta was amazing, even for this girl who does not like cucumbers! We will be back! read more

We went for the Thursday special, Lobster Rolls, and the live music. Both were excellent. Waitress (I think her name was Chloe?) was very friendly and attentive. Note, however, that they don't have wine, but the Margarita more than made up for it. We will definitely go back. read more

Went last night for the first time. What a great place this is. A short wait to get a table, the service was as good as it gets. Food was wonderful and priced very fair. They had a trio playing until 7 and they were very good. Can't wait to go back. read more

Once AGAIN this place does not disappoint! My favorite, most satisfying meal - the app of Mussels and a side salad. DELISH. Crave it after awhile! Please don't ever take it off the menu. Next time I will request more toasted bread to soak up the amazing, golden liquid that the mussels are cooked in. YUM YUM YUM! Oh... and the service is triple A! read more

Very mediocre place. Ordered the club wrap-- pretty confident I could make the same quality wrap at home. The fries and ranch seemed homemade so that was cool! The service was very slow. It took us (2 people) 30 minutes to receive our entrees. I became very turned off with this restaurant once I noticed our server enjoying her lunch at the bar while we were still waiting for our food; I did not find this sanitary or professional. read more

The service was trash! She to old to be waiting on multiple sections and god forbid I ask for a refill. food was good but the service was super slow and we waited 20 mins for a Togo box. she definitely drunk running around. read more

What a great place! We've been here a few times, and have not been disappointed. The appetizers are clever and inventive, the sandwiches are terrific. I think they have the best Reuben I've ever had anywhere, chock full of wonderfulness. The service is a perfect mix of attentiveness without hovering over you. They offer happy hours, live music on the porch in a relaxed fun atmosphere. Its not fancy but we'll be coming back over and over for good food reasonably priced. You wont be disappointed. read more

Great server Kara. Food was amazing. Server was attentive and very friendly. We would definitely go back. read more

Where do I even start? We asked if we could order a pitcher of margaritas and were told no. So we ordered three of them and we weren't even told that they'd just be on the rocks. There was almost no alcohol in them and it just tasted like mix. Asked for my burger medium well and it came out more than well done. It was so dry and the BBQ sauce on it was terrible. It was a mix of sweet, salty, and vinegary. Not good at all. My wife got a wrap sandwich that didn't have the cheese on it so the server literally brought two slices of American cheese on a plate. As for service, about as bad as the food. It took forever to get our food, we never got asked about refills, and on top of that there was a band who was very loudly playing right in front of us. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some time, money, and disappointment/ read more
