feels like stepping into a true old-school neighborhood tavern--the kind of place that hasn't tried to reinvent itself because it doesn't need to. It's dated in the best possible way: dim lighting, worn-in character, familiar faces, and that unmistakable local hangout atmosphere where regulars clearly outnumber first-timers. The highlight here is the Tweety Burger, and honestly, that's the reason to come. It reminded me immediately of the classic Midwest style you'd find at places like Minor-Dunn in Highland, Indiana. The patty is smashed thin and cooked flat on the grill, giving it those crispy edges and deep, savory flavor you only get from a well-seasoned griddle that's seen years of use. It tastes homemade--not engineered, not trendy, just a straightforward burger done right. You can tell they take their time with the food. Nothing feels rushed or mass-produced. The burger comes out hot, flavorful, and satisfying without trying to be gourmet or overcomplicated. No towering Instagram presentation--just a solid, honest burger that delivers exactly what you want from a local pub. Service matched the vibe perfectly. The staff were personable, welcoming, and genuinely friendly in that small-town way that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a guest stopping by a neighborhood spot. Charlie's isn't flashy. It's not modern. And if you're looking for upscale dining or trendy décor, this isn't the place. But if you want an authentic mom-and-pop tavern experience with a burger that locals clearly treat as a tradition, it's worth the stop. Best advice: stick with the Tweety Burger. Don't overthink the menu. Order it, enjoy the atmosphere, and experience a piece of local Terre Haute character. Not a destination restaurant--but absolutely a solid local classic you should try at least once. read more

Gr8 smiling happy service by entire staff....Burgers were a referral from Afterburner Brewing Company in town. And they did not disappoint. By the way, the coleslaw is pretty spectacular, too! (visit was on 6/23/2026) read more

Super busy on Sunday afternoon. This pub is in what id call a mostly residential area. When gps kept leading us here I wondered if I did the address wrong. It was seat yourself. It didn't take long for a server to say hello and get us our drinks. Food didn't take long. Mother in law like her fish and onion rings , she said they were good and not at all greasy. Husband liked his omelette and tater tots. I got the gravy and biscuits and a side of bacon. The gravy was good, not the best ever but good. The bacon was crispy and flavorful. Drinks were kept filled even though our server got slammed with a huge party that trickled in little by little. Prices were super reasonable, We'd do this again when in the area. read more

Stopped in Terre Haute for an overnight stay. Charlie's Pub is a local eatery. We were so glad we decided to try it. The burgers were delicious. Prices reasonable. Wait staff was ok, not always attentive but not terrible. I would highly recommend read more

My wife has wanted to get her free Tweety Burger (birthday gift from Charlie's) for several years. We finally made it and her birthday dinner was done perfectly. It's a bar so expect some loud music or loud TV's. Still, you can visit and enjoy company. I had the bone-in wings. There's a reason they are highly rated by the locals. They are just very good. A patron has many choices to consider when ordering. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Nice job....!!!!!! read more

The food was prepared fresh to order and was delicious. We sat outside on the patio to enjoy the beautiful 73degree weather. We came because we read about the tenderloin on FB and it did not disappoint! They pound them out and cook them fresh. My husband had a deluxe tweety burger. He said it was great as well. I would definitely recommend. The servers were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

We usually go to Charlie's for the Tweety Burger, but I just found out that Charlie's is serving breakfast. And, we couldn't believe how amazing the taste and quantity of the biscuits & gravy. The sausage had a little spicy twang and very meaty. The biscuits were delicious and very fluffy. I was so glad to see the outside had been resided or painted. It looks great and the inside is always clean and well maintained. It is a great bar atmosphere. As usual, the service is the best part. Very conscientious and the food was out in a flash. Outstanding place and we're so very lucky to have it in our community. read more

Good food, friendly service. I was there on Saturday for a Galentines day dinner. They were busy, but our waitress was attentive and friendly. She took a photo for us and got us all laughing. We mostly had Tweety juniors and the delicious truffle fries. I recommend Charlie's to anyone wanting pub food and fun. read more

I was looking for a local microbrew with pub food but ended up having a well crafted burger at a local pub. I got the swiss and mushroom tweety and loved it. Cute name for a serious half pounder. Bell's 2-hearted rounded out my meal. They have an impressive selection of beers - so you won't leave thirsty. Service was prompt and super friendly - thanks Kaitlyn. I can see myself back here to try other items on the Main. read more

Charlie's Pub and Grub in Terre Haute is a fun spot to grab a meal or an adult beverage. I started the meal off with an order of fried pickle chips and the loaded fries for the table. I'll be ordering BOTH of these appetizers again when I come back to Terre Haute. I also ordered the small order of boneless Buffalo wings. I'd recommend try the Stingin' Honey sauce on the wings! The service was quick and the food came out quick & hot. I highly recommend checking this pub & grub out. I know I'll be back! read more

Quick dinner on St. Patricks day with my son, an ISU student. We both had burgers and a beer. Service was very good as was the food. The Pub is clean and has a relaxed atmosphere; friendly, attentive waiter and hostess. Good choice of draft beers. We will go back in the future. read more

Had to give this Pub a try on National Cheeseburger Day, and it delivered a SOLID "Tweety Cheeseburger!" Crinkle cut fries were solid, as well as the appetizers, Charles Chips, which as fried pickles and the loaded tots. The burger was cooked perfectly, full of flavor and a great size, so bring your appetite. Also, the wide orders the Buffalo Blue Cheese Wrap! Delicious too! And a couple of cold brews was the perfect t ending to a great lunch! Service was quick, great environment full of locals knowing the local spot to go. Btw, must be 21 to enter! Looking for a local hangout with great food and equally great service, look no further! read more

Neighborhood staple that is reasonably priced and never fails to please. It is akways great food with great entertainment n the weekends.

I love Charlie's! The food is delicious and comes in huge portions. The drinks are always on point. The service is top notch! It doesn't matter what day you visit, it's always busy but it doesn't take long to get a seat (especially if you're willing to sit at the bar). read more

Charlie's Pub and Grub is a really cool pub! My partner and I recently stopped by during a road trip to St. Louis. First off, we loved all the Pride colors and workers in Pride shirts! We just needed a quick beer and some chips and both were great along with the amazing service! We really enjoyed our quick stop at Charlie's and would love to stop here again in the future for a bigger meal as everything looked fantastic! read more

Always double check you order. Good food but always missing items. This last time ordered burger with extra cheese and didn't receive anything in the burger and also asked for jalapeños and didn't receive. So again double check your order. Tator tots good when they show up in your to go bag. read more

Food is always excellent, I eat here every time in the Haute. Had the best burger of my life last time I was there.

Charlie's Pub and Grub has a lot going for it but unfortunately had a few crucial aspects that just weren't up to par. They have a great backyard space with space for a live band and I can see how this would be great for an evening with a big group of friends. However, I just can't shake how weirdly they do service. It's a bit of a free for all and you constantly have someone asking if you've been served or not. I'm just trying to talk and I can't do that if I'm interrupted every 30 seconds. Food-wise, I was extremely disappointed with my burger. It came out with effectively all the flavor cooked out. Paired with some flavorless chips (they must've just dunked the potato slices in some oil and threw them on the plate), the only redeeming flavor was the pretzel breadsticks we had ordered. My girlfriend's veggie burger came out burnt as well, so I guess they just forgot to watch the grill. read more

A friend recommended stopping here while in Terre Haute. Though it may be more fun for lunch or late night entertainment. I was drawn to their being open for breakfast which was quite tasty, and had lots of options. Several of their items featured Tweety's a name I've not found elsewhere. urns out a Tweety is a large burger (it can be made of several choices of protein. I thought it might be too filling to start the day, so I settled for a small platter of eggs and sausage. Everyone at our table of four seemed to like their breakfast and said they would like to return to see how it was in the evening. Good food and options. Review #3973 #Review 3973 read more

Needed a place for lunch today on the road, we stopped in at the Harley dealer for the normal T-shirt stop and asked them where we should go. Was directed here, and I have to say I'm glad. It's the typical bar & grill with a wide selection of beer and spirits if that's your inclination, we just had iced tea since we still had more to drive. Bobbie ordered their signature burger, the Tweety Bird. It was very well seasoned and cooked with a great flavor. She paired it with tots. I ordered the fried bologna sandwich. OMG, I haven't had one in years, and this one didn't disappoint at all. Cooked perfect on the flat top with nice crispy edges. Served on white toasted bread and, get this, american cheese. Can you get more iconic than that? I have to say this lunch was great. read more

We found this place on Yelp as we were traveling through Indiana. It's known for its big burgers. I had the bird burger. 1/2 lb burger, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a nice grilled bun. What it lacked was any seasoning. So plain! Also had the cheesy tots. Crispy tater tots covered with a very plain cheese (ie velveta?) I don't recommend this place for a great burger. It does, however, have great big burgers. read more

Amazing food and the atmosphere was fun. Bar staff was on their A game and never let drinks go dry and spot on for food recommendations!!

If you're in Terre Haute, please support this local restaurant that's been around since the 70s! I absolutely love their boneless wings and tots. Recently tried the chicken and waffles which are served with two waffles and two large chicken strips. It also comes with your choice of side and their homemade jalapeño syrup. It was delicious! The service was as expected for a place that seemed to be a bit understaffed, but we were still well taken care of. If possible, I'd choose to sit outside simply because inside can be too loud at times. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Well, I read some good reviews before we decided to go here. All sounded good and thought we would try it out. This is the 1st and last time I will be having a meal there. Now, I read where someone commented how good the loaded fries were, so that was the appetizer we ordered. In about 20 minutes we received our meals, I asked the food carrier about the loaded fries. He said he would go check. He came back and sat them on the middle of the table and asked it they looked alright. I should have listened to my brain and said no... but I am a nice person so I said they looked fine. They were barely warm and weren't what we expected cheese sauce poured on to French fries with a couple tablespoons of bacon bits and a big dip of sour cream thrown in top. The tenderloin was not very good, the bun was overly grilled so I just ate the tenderloin with no bun. The Onion Rings were nothing special... Then after our meal was over, we patiently stacked our dirty dishes and the excess foods on the plates to b removed... we waited, waited, seen our waitress several times but couldn't get her attention. Finally Seen someone at the register and asked if they could give me a ticked and take my payment. And we were gone, never to return. read more

The food was okay and the service was better than it has been in the past. There's a lot of local tradition involved with this bar so expect large lunch groups and don't be shocked if you can't get back to work within the hour that you have for lunch. Their signature menu item is the Tweety Burger served with fries or tots, and they're also open for breakfast. In the summertime months this is a great bar to meet friends and hang out at the outdoor bar. Since this bar is right in the middle of a neighborhood, expect difficulty finding a parking space depending on what time of day it is. read more

Come for the famous tweeties + stay for the fabulous beer garden! Charlie's is a favorite neighborhood hangout with live music on the weekends and great lunch offerings during the week.

Yelp never lets me down and sometimes the places it sends me are such a pleasant surprise. Charlie's is in a really sketchy, run-down looking neighborhood. When we arrived around noon on a Sunday the place was almost full. It looked recently remodeled inside and clean but not particularly fresh. The staff was welcoming and efficient. On weekends they serve their regular menu of burgers etc (see photos) and also serve breakfast until 2pm. Take a look at that fabulous menu- I circled the items I found most interesting. I ordered the Breakfast Totchos and my husband got the fried bologna sandwich. So good! Photos are attached here. They serve Pepsi products but have coke in cans if you ask. Obviously cool people eat here- see the photo of the guy in the Save Ferris shirt? We'll totally be back read more

I'm a Terre Haute native and have been going to Charlie's for years. Love their food. Everything is pretty good, but I usually get either a wrap, burger, and/or fried pickles or other appetizers. I'm not a beer drinker, but they usually have Cider Boys hard cider in bottles (can sometimes be hard to find) as well as a wide variety of mixed drinks. They also have angry orchard on tap, but I don't like angry orchard that much. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is the service sometimes leaves something to be desired. The bartenders/waiters aren't always friendly. Additionally, one time I stopped by to watch the musical guest of the evening, who happened to be a good friend of mine, and I heard the bar tender bashing on said musical guest to another customer at the bar, which I know I didn't appreciate or perceive as professional. However if you want good food & drinks I'd still recommend Charlie's. read more
