It's a fun little spot and the food was good, but our server was downright unfriendly. There was no reason for it and it honestly bummed out the beginning of our day.

Whatever the reason, definitely an unpleasant experience. Would not go back and would not recommend.

Charlie's Place Gloucester Mass…read moreWe decided to visit Gloucester in February 2026 as a way to help our relative get her new home ready for move-in. We took a Saturday off to do a little touring. After spending the morning touring Cape Ann, enjoying all the beauty there was to behold, we decided to go to Charlie's Place for lunch. It has the feel of a hometown diner without any appearance of a greasy spoon. The interior is very well maintained, extremely clean and pleasantly decorated. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. My sister-in-law had the pepper burger, which was smothered in red and green peppers and she ate every bite. She also enjoyed a cup of the fish stew. She has returned to Charlie's many times to have it again and again, it is that good! Large chunks of haddock crowd the serving while swimming in a buttery, thin, creamy broth. My husband and I made a meal of splitting three items: a bowl of the clam chowder, which has the authentic New England taste we were looking for, a simple turkey sandwich on rye and a side salad which was huge. We felt completely at ease in this restaurant which is obviously a local favorite and left feeling stuffed. The prices are very affordable. We truly enjoyed every bite in our first, but definitely not the last, time visiting Charlie's.

This place has all the charm you'd want in a small coastal town in New England. And I went there…read morebecause of the outstanding reviews. But it's been a while since I've been this disappointed in a restaurant. I'm not talking about the parking (it's small) or the decor of the place or even the service. I'm strictly talking about the food. The good thing about the food was that it was hot, and I mean so hot that I was afraid it was going to melt the take-out containers they packed it in. Also, the serving sizes are large, and in the case of the Seafood Marinara pasta dish, they give you two full large plastic containers for a single order. The fish chowder and clam chowder were definitely full of seafood, but they were underseasoned. I guess if you were to eat them concurrently with really salty food, then they'd be perfect. But I ate them before the rest of the meal, and by themselves, the chowders' taste is a bit lacking. But the real shock was the pasta. I ordered the two most expensive pasta dishes on the menu: Seafood Marinara and Shrimp Scampi. The amount of seafood on the plates was admirable, but a lot of it tasted generic. And the pasta definitely tasted like it was pre-made. The killer was the lack of seasoning in both dishes. I can understand if one of the dishes was underseasoned because mistakes happen. But when both pasta dishes were as bland as these two dishes were, well, you have to worry about the standards. Just to be sure, I waited a few hours until the dishes had cooled down, and I tried them again. It's easier for me to taste the seasoning when the food temp is lower at around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Both pasta dishes were pretty much tasteless. I even had a friend of mine who has an excellent palate try everything, and she literally asked me if I specifically ordered the food to be cooked without seasoning. I wouldn't have been so surprised if I had gone into a place that had average reviews, but The Causeway has a great reputation. I guess if I go back, I'll have to try their fried seafood (e.g. the Peters Platter). But the problem is do I really want to go in there and spend about $30 per dish after my experience with their pasta dishes? I hate writing a negative review about a family restaurant, but inflation being what it is, people are going to be choosier about where to spend their money, and restaurants have to make sure that their food is on point to justify the high prices.
