Finally got to try them! It was so worth it. These little burgers pack a lot of flavor. Juicy, greasy (in a good way) and hit the spot. I ordered to go and ended up eating at the counter because it was just calling me. The fries are good too. I also ordered a sausage to go which I took a bite and it was delicious. I see why they have earned best of Delco numerous years! Staff is friendly, prices are fair and ample parking! read more

I was told this place was a Delco staple, so of course I had to try it. Overall I like the food, but it's definitely not reinventing the wheel or anything. The prices are good, and the portions are alright for the price. My hatch burger was greasy and tasty. The fries are crispy but pretty typical. Honestly I prefer their competitor (the local chain just up the road, if you know you know), but if you're looking for a burger and some comfort food it's a safe bet. read more

Update: I revisited Charlie's and was not disappointed this time. The bunny burger was delicious, that cheese was so melty. I got 2 for the road! read more

I am not sure if the relocation to their current place made some type of impact on the quality of the burgers, but Charlie's burgers don't seem to hit the same as they used to. We ordered their Cheeseburgers, with just onions and mayo, to go, before leaving town - the buns were super dried out and not good; the patty itself was the typical thinness, but it had no seasoning or flavor to it; it also seemed to have been overcooked. There's seating available inside, but most seem to get their orders to go. There can be a back-up on orders due to competing with call-aheads. Parking available in the shared strip plaza lot. +dried out buns +inconsistent burger taste +parking in shared strip plaza lot read more

Terrible service, waited 30 mins to only be refunded because it still was not ready. Would probably help if all workers worked instead of talked. I have been someone who has been coming for 2 decades, but the service was so terrible and rude that we will not be back ever again. read more

This place is absolutely my very favorite place to have a burger! Their milkshake is pretty good, but the burgers are spectacular. They are very simple yet. It has so much flavor. It's so well-made and not dry at all. The ambience is a little bit tiny, but very friendly. I think they are trying to keep it classy and the service and waitress front desk are always very kind and polite. I'm always happy to give them my money because every time I leave I'm satisfied with the food read more

I can be stingy with my 5's, and why shouldn't I be? And let's keep in mind that this is not fine dining. But, for what it is, it's fantastic. Handmade patties of good beef, fresh ingredients, delicious fries, not overly salty, and OMG delicious. They used to serve on paper plates, but they've moved up to melmac which made me chuckle. And the retro formica tables, and the 70's music (but I heard no crap), and the overall vibe, friendly and comforting. Get thee to Charlie's, it's a delight. read more

If a place has been around since 1935 they're doing something right. Stopped by here through a tip-off from the George Motz book Hamburger America. Decent prices, good burgers. read more

Delco staple. Grew up on these cheeseburgers and always taste the same throughout the years.

Great burgers!!! Great shakes! Perfect place. It may not look like much but boy is it worth it! Onion rings are delicious also o

I used to love Charlie's. Maybe my memory is failing me, but did they always use nasty dehydrated onions out of a bag? Are the onions the explanation for why the bottoms of my rolls were wet and soggy? Seriously, this was a horrible disappointment. The only reason that they even get two stars is because the milkshake was good and the fries were OK. Honest to God, the roles were wet. read more

Growing up outside of Delco I simply lack the nostalgic love for Charlie's. Despite no generational history I love this place. Yes, it's not the "old" place....just a bright, clean, lively newer spot a couple miles away. Took 15 yo following night soccer game vs Ridley seconds from the HS. Charlie's specials, a single cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and fried onions. Perfection. Bun sat on grill top for a crunch. Milkshake made on the spot, we watched. Fries dropped for our order...piping hot and salty. read more

Good burgers fries and onion rings - hot fresh and tasty - only knock was I didn't know you had to ask for topping I thought it came with but on its own the burgers were tasty - we especially like the onion rings they were hand breaded and fried to perfection light and airy ! read more

Absolutely perfect hamburgers/cheeseburgers! The burger, the cheese, the exceptional buns, spectacular! Get them "loaded" somehow they get the ratio of ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions down perfectly too. New location, was there yesterday everything is the same. read more

Neat and simple little place to grab a few, classic burgers. They've got tasty burgers that I think are griddle-smashed. Thin with that little crispy exterior. There are a few toppings, but I went with the Charlie's Special (burger with cheese, fried onions, tomato, and pickles) a Peg Special (double burger with cheese, fried onions, and bacon), my wife got a hot dog (they split it flat and serve on a burger bun) and we split a small order of fries and an order of onion rings (whole onion rings that are batter fried.) Order was quick and hit the spot. Basic stuff that was well executed. It's not reinventing the wheel, but if you want a good, tasty burger and are in the area, I definitely recommend it. read more

Was in the area and was in the mood for burgers so we stumbled upon this place and it was cute inside with kind vintage feel. The staff was nice and our food came out quickly! The food was cheap and small but it was tasty and satisfying! read more

This hurts. I hate to do this. I loved Charlie's. They have been an institution. But their fastball is gone. The burger I got tonight was decent. But the same beef flavor of the past isn't there anymore. It was just average. I don't know exactly what changed besides the location. I've been to this new location. It was last year and it was still quite good. But this burger wasn't the same as that. Eating this burger was the equivalent to watching Steve Carlton pitch in 1986. You knew they were great once. But you know it's not the same. read more

Excellent cheeseburgers coockd and topped to order. Eat in or take out. Plenty of parking.

Is there a better place where you can get a greasy cheeseburger, or two while washing it down with a milkshake? You guessed correctly my yelp family. The iconic Charlie's Hamburgers is that very gem that serves you that taste of Americana. Short and sweet which makes this a completed review my friends. Now get in there, and enjoy. If you are looking for those fancy burgers on an artisan bun, with an aioli spread. This is NOT your burger joint. read more

I've been coming here for 15 years and it has remained my favorite place in delco to grab a double hamburger and a mint shake. My kids now ask to stop whenever we are in the area when we visit the area. The service is friendly and they always remember us :) thanks for the blue t-shirt for my delconian husband who has been coming since he was a kid! read more

My family has loved Charlie's Hamburgers since it's original location in Springfield. A 'loaded' Charlie's burger is not only delicious, but brings back memories of family for me. The milkshakes are delicious as well. It's not fine dining, but its food that will fill your soul and not drain your wallet. read more

Was so happy to see them in their new digs and they added fries! The new location was a Subway and a Capriotti's before, but there is no doubt these guys will be fine here. The order line was out the door when I left around noon. They definitely had more hands on deck preparing and serving so that helped moved the line. I'm wondering if there will be enough space here! Burger wise I had my two specials and tried the fries. The burgers were no different than the last location and the fries were a nice addition to the menu and a nice portion size. As usual a homerun for me. read more

The most delicious burger you'll have. You simply must go! A delco institution that moved from its spot near the Frontier to over across from planet fitness on MacDade in Folsom. You can be on the treadmill at PF and try to resist the urge to go there afterwards IF YOU CAN. read more

Double cheeseburger / small fries / black & white milkshake. The thin meat slices taste fresh but overall there very tiny and absolut not special.. about $15 for everything, ain't worse it. Milkshake to liquid. Would I come back , NO read more

I've been to Charlie's a lot over the years...it started in their old location. I may be on my own here but I like the no location better. The food has always been good; check that, I'm not a big fan of the hot dogs, not that they're bad, simply because they put them on a hamburger roll (just not my thing). If you haven't been here don't be shocked, the patties are super-thin but they're so good. I recommend going with a double and you'll still have room leftover for their awesome fries! read more

Glad I didn't listen to the few bad reviews. Got there around 11:40 am. Ordered the Bunny and Charlie special and a small fry. No milkshake. The burger is thin and served in a white bread type of bun. Juicy and flavorful. Fries were good as well. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. Shame I never made it to the old location which I think had that old school charm but life moves forward for some. I would come back for the Peg special. Then I'd come back another time for a milkshake perhaps. If you love America and call yourself an American, you need to come here. read more

Charlie's Hamburgers - What I ate. Read the review - Burgers Near Me - Folsom, Pennsylvania

Interesting place. Burgers made bun greasy so much that didn't eat the bottoms bun. Fries were good. Don't think I will come back.

They moved but they still make the greatest hamburgers and milkshakes they did when I was a youth going with my parents I'm now 66 and return many times throughout the year It's top shelf everything read more

I really enjoy Charlie's hamburgers. Greasy and good, if that's what you are in the mood for! The menu is short, but they do their few items well. read more

When you first try a burger from Charlie's, it does not look like much. The patties are super thin, it looks kind of smashed and there will be times when they put your burgers in the empty burger bun bags as your to-go bag. It's definitely not the prettiest but they're actually pretty tasty and flavorful. I wouldn't suggest adding tomato to a burger as it has a weird aftertaste in my opinion. The fries are alright, nothing to rave about. There always seems to be a long line/wait even when you go when they first open. You can't call ahead to place your order unless you are going to order 30+ burgers. If you want something different other than the fast-food chains, I would say give it a try. 3.5/4. read more

first time at this location. moved out of the area 4 years ago. am in town for family. had been going to Charlies for almost 40 years. will NEVER come back. took over 1 hour on a Saturday night at 6:30 for 3 burgers. Zach's is great. Go there unless you're time is worth nothing read more

Found out yesterday that Charlie's is my stepdad-in-law's favorite place when the hubby stopped by to pick him up some burgers since we were down the street curtain shopping. Funny the things you learn after almost 26 years of marriage. I guess since we don't really go to Folcroft, it just never came up. So, was the burger the best I ever had? Nah. But am I going to bash this Folcroft icon that everyone so obviously loves? Nah. I will save that for Jake and Leona's in Ephrata because that was seriously some of the worst food we've ever paid for. Anyway. These burgers were not bad. My only complaints were that the raw onion was pretty bitter and they don't have fries there. I was really in the mood for some fries. I thought the prices were fine as well. Sure, I'd stop in again if I'm in the area. read more

This is my delco spot for burgers. The burgers are simple and hit the spot if you are craving a burger. My husband thinks they taste like white castle because of the plentiful presence of onion. Listen, well sign me up. I always get raw onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard and cheese. Fries are a crispy must. Oh and some hometown brotherly delco service. read more

When Colleen B writes a 5 star review - then updates it with ANOTHER 5 star review...you know the place is legit. After a rollercoaster of emotions during Colleen's funeral, we found out that this was the ONE place she always stopped at when she was in town. Just a short distance from her childhood home, apparently this was the place with the "best burgers in the world." All of my teammates loaded up into an SUV, drove over and as we pulled up it began pouring. Not a light drizzle...POURING. We considered waiting it out, but decided to run in. Soaked, pretty full from the massive lunch we just had, and with our emotional tank on empty we got 2 burgers to share - and a black & white shake. Burgers here are real deal. They aren't stacked with foie gras, arugula or truffled mushrooms. They are the traditional burger. The kind that you can't really get anymore. They are flavorful and meat patty sits in a cloud of a bun. Fluffy and delicious. The shake was insanely good. It's a monster of a serving, so you COULD share it, but why would you want to? If you come here hungry, a burger (maybe 2) and a shake will last you through the next day. Thanks Charlie's. Not only for the delicious grub, for allowing us a place to have a really nice moment to remember our friend. I can see why she loved you so much. read more
