We've been coming here for a few years now and it never disappoints. These burgers make my stomach happy they're so so good. They have a burger of the month that are always fun to try and Wednesday's is 2 burgers for $12. I had the Stumps burger (Stumps spicy green olives, cheese and bacon) divine! My husband likes the classic burger the best but he's kinda boring and doesn't venture far from his normal. Lol While the place itself isn't anything fancy, it is a bar, it is clean. The staff is always friendly and kudos to the cook because he makes the best dang burgers ever! read more

Charlie's Place - Stumps burger and cheese curds - Dive Bars Near Me - Janesville, Wisconsin

See all

Seemed like a local bar. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was mediocre. The vibe was sports bar like. Kinda noisy. Seems like a fun place to meet if into drinking. Not for food. read more

I have to say. that was one of the most fantastic burgers I have ever had. let me set the scene. it's late. around 1230am on a Saturday morning I've been at the gym since 10. I'm famished. starving. can't go another second without food. I call place after place and they're closed or their kitchen is closed. I decide to look at Charlies and give it a shot. I call. they answer. I don't know who picked up the phone but that gentleman was so awesome. he gave me options for burgers and sides. I drove to Charlie's. I walk in wait about 30 seconds and BAM. my food is done. 13.00 dollars for a burger with bacon and everything (no tomatoes because I'm allergic) and onion rings. I just want whoever made my burger to know that it was polished off, licked clean before I made it back to my home about 5 minutes away. onion rings? hot. crispy. perfect. burger? juicy. delicious. I would die for another one. service? amazing. applause to you. i will be coming back. moral of the story. get. the. Charlie. burger. read more

We tried Charlie's Place for a late lunch Wednesday. I was surprised by how busy it was on a Wednesday afternoon. There is central bar with stools around 80% of it and also additional tables. Most of the bar seats were taken. The vibe is very much a local's hangout. We sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and gave us menus. She made me a tasty Bloody Mary, spicy, the way I like it. For lunch, we ordered off the specials board and had turkey and ham melts with crinkle-cut fries. Tasty. It wasn't fancey, but we left satisfied, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely seems like a good place to get a drink and a bite to eat at a reasonable price. We'll definitely go back. read more

Charlie's Place was recommended to us so we went and tried it for dinner last night. Needless to say service was A+, we are a bit confused how we just learned of this Burger Spot! Amazing food!!! read more

They always have a burger of the month. Plus 2 for $ 12 .00 burgers on Wednesdays. StaffiI friendly . Suggest you give it a try!

Do you want to eat one of the best burgers you have ever had in your life? If you are in Janesville and need a bite this is the place. I can't believe that the burgers are only $7.50 so they are a great deal and incredible. I opted for the Charlie burger which was bacon, cheese plus the works. The burger includes a side of either chips, fries, tots or onion rings. If you're going "all-in" you don't need any stinking salad option here. When our food arrived everyone got really quiet and just ate their burger. I don't know if we were all exceptionally hungry or it was just that good. I think it was combo of both options! I devoured my burger and was so full after. It's a bar so ambience is not incredible but the bartender and the patrons were extremely friendly. I will definitely go back when I am in that neck of the woods again. read more

Workday lunch hour. I had a Charlie burger: cheeseburger w/the works. My wife had the patty melt. Both were real good. The patty melt had deliciously caramelized onions. The burger bun didn't hold up. Service was prompt and perfect. Ambience was as expected. Good value for the prices! read more

Burgers were good on Wednesday they have 2 burgers with chips for $10! Such a great deal you can upgrade your side to fries for a few more bucks. Service is ok. read more

UPDATE : went there a second time and had Adam as a server. He was super friendly on the phone and in person. Food was excellent like last time. This time we dined it. Thanks Adam ! Keep up the great work!!!!! :-) read more

One of best bar burgers in Janesville. We always get them to go as we are not bar people. They do have a 2 for 1 once a week, but forget what day it is. read more

The food was good and priced right. The place was loud when we first arrived but eventually quieted down.

Went there today after golf at Blackhawk, right next store. It is your normal bar setting but has some tables away from the bar which were nice. The waitress was fast with a pitcher of ice water even though there is no table service. Ordered at the bar and had our food really fast. I had forgotten how good a Charlie Burger was. YUM. A lady in our group had a chicken wrap which looked yummy and she said it was delicious. read more

Do yourself a favor and get yourself a Charlie burger and some loaded tots; you will not regret it!

Found this place on our way home to Madison from a vacation. Had a wonderful burger, went today attempting to show our good friend a good ol bar burger. After working on our car most of the day we walked into Charlie's and the friend we brought along was met with a sore drunk loser of a person, screaming about the Patriots hat he was wearing. Not a single staff member attempted to stop this obnoxious behavior. We walked out with no food or drinks. What a disappointment. How quick happy customers became not so happy! Buyer beware if you aren't a local like this guy you probably aren't welcome. read more
