    Please see images. You know, I thought I'd go to the local guy and give him some business but it looks like I'm the one that got the business. This was a pretty sad little pastrami sandwich.

    Outside of Charlies

    I hate to show my age but I've been coming here since the late 90s/early 2000s. Half-days at OJHS and walking a few blocks over to eat here with half the student body is such a core memory for me now. I recently moved back and started visiting some old spots and it still holds up. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and the food is great as ever. Unsure if it's the same ownership since then but they've stayed very consistent to me. You can do mobile orders through their site, it's user-friendly and very simple to work through.

    Dry queen burger skimping on shredded lettuce
    Renee J.

    They could have improved by acknowledging my complaint and concerns after 3 last orders in last two weeks Queen burger very disappointed became frustrated with Charlie's food service and crew. No improvement no apologies What she said was "next time order at drive through speaker" my response then 'I wouldn't have been able to tell you of disappointment'. As we drove off with another disappointment They in back loud rude laugh. Here is our last burger. No mayo skimped on shredded lettuce that attributed to burger

    Queen burger with avocado, ketchup and mustard
    Jose M.

    Let me start off by saying it's more of a 3.5 than a 4 but not close to be a 3. I had the queen burger with avocado ketchup and mustard. I also had a side of fries with ranch. The fries weren't really anything special and while the ranch looks homemade, the taste was fine. I say this because amazing fries with amazing ranch to dip them in is one of my favorite things. The burger was good. It wasn't gourmet or mind blowing but I would say it's a step up from your typical chain. Beef had good flavor and everything meshed very well as a complete burger. Not overly big or messy just a nice burger. The reason for the stars is because the price is on point with the chains but it's definitely a better flavor. The value to taste is great so if you're looking for a better burger for a good price then try them. I will say that the downside for me was the fact that it took 15 minutes to get the burger. There were only 2 people in front of me and the server took my order before even getting to the window. I have to believe it's the fact they make everything when you order it but plan accordingly.

    Great! Well worth the wait. Try the zucchini fries, you won't be disappointed. Burgers are fresh and so are toppings. Great small vibe.

    Showed up 10 min before they closed to be told they were closed. If you're going to say you're open until 9pm stay open until 9pm.

    This was my 3rd time coming to Blast 825 Brewery and this time was the best…read more Tonight me and wifey went on a double date with some good friends and chose this spot specifically for the beer, food and of course the Dodger game that was on tonight. We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza which was surprisingly delicious and the wife ordered a beer. We sat in the bar area and I decided to go with the self pour option where they give you a card to tap a sensor and select any beer on tap to pour yourself. Me and a buddy of mine had some issues with a few of the self pour taps where we just believed they were out of beer and it also over charged us. I told a server about my single issue where it over charged me and he said he would take care of it but my friend had the worst of luck. 2/3 beers he attempted to pour were simply out. This was when Jess, our savior came to the rescue. When it was time to pay the tab, she comped both of our orders. Mind you, I had 4 beers. Guess what the total was? Yeah, $28. Paid for my wife's beer and our pizza and because I had a single complication with the beer self pour station, she comped the 4 beers I had as well as my friend's order. This is Grade A customer service and a reason why I'd return to Blast 825 Brewery, so shoutout to Jess! We all appreciate you.

    Management, I am writing to express my frustration regarding…read moremy recent visit to your establishment. I will add that we have been frequent customers since day one. While I had high hopes for a good meal, the experience was significantly marred by several issues: Poor Service: We were largely ignored, with staff failing to address requests. The restaurant appeared severely understaffed, leading to incredibly long wait times for service. It took 25 minutes to be asked what we were drinking, and another 20 minutes for two beers to arrive Food Quality Issues: The food served was of low quality, specifically corn rib appetizer were ice cold , the tri-tip was very over cooked and was difficult to chew. My wife ordered the orcutt hill salad entree. The salad was missing two ingredients. Prosciutto and candied pecans. When asked about it the waitress said I will bring you some. She brought a cup of smoked ham, not prosciutto. She indicated that the kitchen was out of candied pecans. Don't you think that should be disclosed to the customer before ordering ? The salad was small, not an entree size. When we asked about seeing a manager, we got a bill with a neighborhood 15% reduction. When asked about that, I was told, that's all the manager is willing to do. Really ? I hope you take this feedback seriously to improve the experience for future guests. Sincerely, A Disappointed Customer

Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. A special mention has to go to the complimentary jalapeño rolls they bring out when you first sit down--easily the softest, most amazing rolls I've ever had, and a perfect way to start the meal.
