Sat outside for dinner recently. Very uncomfortable arrangement (metal tables and stools with no backs - hate that, but maybe they don't want people to get comfortable and linger). Inside is a loud but small sports bar with lots of local drinkers. Food just average and unremarkable. I will say their happy hour prices are decent. read more

First of all, I walked in the place and it had a horrible musty, moldy smell, this was my 2nd visit. I haven't been there in a very long time because of the smell. They updated, however, it still had that stink. I ordered a "steak burger", it was a frozen patty. Not a good burger that you would expect from a tavern/type restaurant, it was disgusting with chunks of nerve in it. Very disappointed, it cost me $20 + for a frozen burger and fries with a small spoonful of cole slaw. I won't do it ever again. Go to Prospect Tavern and enjoy a real burger! read more

Would come here often for the burger . Tonight however the hamburger was smaller and not the quality of beef it was in the past No lettuce No tomato No red onion. Pickle was definitely smaller. Service was good atmosphere good as well read more

We decided to stay close to home for dinner on Sunday evening. Burgers were a craving, and noticed they had an option for gorgonzola cheese - so that's what I ordered. My partner ordered the steak burger as well, with cheddar cheese. His was medium, mine was well done. Burgers were very good! Temps were correct and plenty of gorgonzola! Fries could have been crispier, and hotter. Cole slaw was decent. We were happy with our food, and decided we'd definitely return. Then, we received our check. The total was correct, but it was only if we paid cash. Credit added another 3.25% to the total. We certainly understand that this is becoming a more frequent occurrence, but you can't just ignore the law and charge whatever you want. There was NO indication anywhere we could see warning of the credit card surcharge! I even took photos of the menu - thinking we may have missed it - but as you can see from the photos, there was no indication. On the way out, we even checked the front entrance - no signs. Charge whatever you want - but do it legally. Not sure we'll return, there are so many other places like this around. read more

Met family members here for an early holiday dinner. We met at 5 and got a table for 6 with a wheelchair as well. Food was a 3 if you didn't know what to order but get the burger or the meatloaf and you are good. Also apps are 1/2 price and drinks are discounted $1.50 (not great but ok). Staff was friendly and on top of things. We left at 7 and the place was packed. Go early if you want a calm meal read more

We've been coming here for over 30 years! The food is consistently good and the staff is always friendly. They have a great outdoor area in the summer that's quiet and even has a TV to watch sporting events. They took over the store next door so CAC is currently expanding. I look forward to seeing the renovation. read more

Burger night?? Let's go to Charley's Aunt!! Beer and a burger. As a matter a fact, I'm going tonight. Service is great and go to watch some games for a great time! read more

Charley's Aunt is definitely a Chatham staple and the best place to come grab a drink in town. They have a lovely back patio and now they've built a cool outdoor area in the front. The food is always pretty good if you stick to the classics. The burger was overcooked though. Their prices have been getting a bit high. read more

Not great especially given that there's better bar food nearby. Not family friendly and staff was rude and annoyed by my kids.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Classic place, local feel, nice cozy back patio.

If you like noise come here. Plently of loud piercing noise from people. Great for loud sports fans, kids and those with a little too much alcohol. Small size and lack of acoustics provide all the noise you need to have a great experience. Forget the food. While it's not bad, it doesn't hold a candle to all the noise you'll get here. You'll love it. read more

They renovations to this place have completely ruined it. The space lacks any warmth and charm. The restaurant constantly looks unfinished and walls are empty cold and grey. The food was never great but it somehow got worse. So upsetting. read more

Good food, cozy place and a chill environment. Nice to meet your friends and grab a bite. read more

Best place in town to grab a few drinks and a bite to eat. The burgers and nachos always hit. Service is top notch and all smiles. Nicely renovated too! Get in there and enjoy. Cheers read more

Reliable spot to grab a well made burger and a cold beer. It's been around for ever, as have many of the patrons! Loads of parking, steps away. Easygoing staff. Drinks are stiff too! read more

Off the main corner so less people walking by. Plenty of parking. One of the few places in Chatham with late dining hours. They did a nice job with the outdoor seating, socially distanced tables and all servers wearing masks. They even have two TVs outside so you can watch the game while eating. Service was quick. Good beer selection. Solid menu with something for everybody. We got the cheeseburger which came on a toasted sesame bun. It was perfectly cooked. Not a huge fan of steak fries or the bun otherwise meal was great. Prices are average for the area. Will definitely be back! read more

The Shrimp croquettes in scampi were outrageous! Great flavor, great sauce and nice hot, fresh bread served with it. The bacon cheeseburger was excellent as well. The bun was very average and the mass produced cole slaw left a lot to be desired but everything else was spot on!!! Try making home made cole slaw and you would get a 5 star from me. Will be back. read more

Very poor service. My autistic brother ordered wings without sauce or lettuce and they brought it out covered in sauce over lettuce and said they can't do substitutions on this item. Why wouldn't they say anything before they bring the food out? Making him pay for food he can't eat is slimy read more

Charley's Aunt is a classic Chatham spot. Great for both lunch and dinner. I recommend going to watch a sports game and grabbing a bite to eat. They have outdoor seating (with an outdoor TV!) which makes sports watching in the spring, summer, and fall, extra fun. A great spot for the community- I always see people I know here. Family-run by the greatest, sweetest, generous family. I love it here! They also host a hot dog eating competition, which is great fun for the whole community. read more

Serving burgers sandwiches steaks salads pasta and many fish entrees, pouring eight brews Brooklyn Guinness Revolution and Soma, and all the while keeping the noise level very reasonable. Definite cosy/quaint feel to the place but even with many happy diners around us it was surprisingly easy to converse. Pints $6.75 regular, $5.25 happy hour. On a fine day or evening the back patio offers outdoor seating and you're nicely secluded, not right on the sidewalk nor street. We tried a couple sandwiches, about $15 ea. I don't much care for steak fries and that's what they have at Charley's, they were just ok. Onion rings were pretty good but hit our table just warmish-hot instead of smoking-hot, frustrating. My fish sandwich was piled with fresh herbs lettuce tomato but like those rings the fried filet had cooled off. Service was friendly but slow to refill beer & water. Vegetarian rating: 2 stars. Appetizers zucchini fritti, fried mozzarella, grilled mushroom; half a dozen salads; the solitary veg entree I found was pasta primavera in cream sauce. The summer 2019 Monday night Mexican specials are .. bland, let me stop right there, don't rush to Chatham for them. read more

This place is a must try! We decided to try it Sunday night, and as we arrived, it was a pleasantly busy spot. There are multiple areas of the restaurant, even though you cannot see them all from the outside.! Everything from the drinks to the appetizers and our main entrées, were done perfectly , I would have to say the best all-around experience I have had anywhere recently! The owners are on site and literally treat you like family when you you come in !The service was impeccable and truly an all-around enjoyable experience.we will definitely be regulars ! read more

We generally like pub atmosphere. Food and service were excellent. My wife enjoyed the chopped salad special and I thought the Ruben was excellent. Loved the steak fries. We visit the area fairly often. We will go back. read more

Went there for the first time today. I always saw this place jammed during the summer and wanted to check them out. Not what you would expect to find in Chatham. Kind of a dimly lit old bar atmosphere. Good was ok. Service was average. Looks like they have a lot of regulars. Being new to the area, I'm not impressed. Bottle Hill is similar, food is a little better, outdoor section a bit roomier. read more

This place is the best! It's a little spot located on a side street in the adorable town of Chatham, so it's easy to miss but definitely do NOT pass it by! It's also only about 5 minutes from the Short Hills Mall if you're hungry and need a cocktail after a day of shopping. The food, service, and ambiance are all great. The apps, burgers, sandwiches, and salads are all so yummy. Some of my favorites are the clam strips, potato skins, harvest salad, and the grilled turkey and Swiss. All the burgers are perfectly made and come with crispy steak fries. They even do half price apps during Happy Hour. It's definitely an "everyone knows your name" type place. The owners are always present and are very generous. Linda's rice pudding is to die for if you have room for dessert! read more

Local joint, tasty food and nice ambiance. Service was good. Good portions for what you pay.

I've been here a few times, and the food has been consistently good. It's nice that in towns like chatham, places like this, old mainstays that don't try to do too much, are still around. I don't know if I will return but every time I went was pretty nice. It was cool that in the winter they put TVs outside read more

Consistently great food (one of the best burgers and fries in town) and friendly service. They opened up their back alley for additional spaced out seating with heat lamps, a tv, and string lights. Great option for a quick casual meal. read more

I am a 73 year old woman with a disability. I have a service dog. We went into this second rate bar for lunch. The owner very rudely and sarcastically told us to leave. He told me only people who are blind or have epilepsy would be allowed in his bar. Anyone with a disability should not visit this bar. read more

After we were turned away from a busy restaurant/bar down the road, We decided to try Charley's Aunt. It was a rainy Saturday (so no outside seating) and they were very busy but did not turn us away. The staff was super pleasant and welcoming. The food was great and the service was great. I even asked for a change to my sandwich (I ordered the meatloaf sandwich) and requested no gravy, but mayo and lettuce instead and they were very accommodating. We will definitely be back! read more

Friendly neighborhood bar. Service was excellent and the drinks well made. Don't expect anything fancy however. Didn't try the food although the menu seemed extensive enough. Lots of regulars, average range of ages late 30s at the bar and 60s at the table. Chill old school vibe. read more
