Love ANY of the food. Breakfast: beignets, pancakes, quesadillas, shrimp and grits. The service is second to none. It's homey and practical inside. Nice and clean.

As you walk in great decor

This a old school locals restaurant but the food is good and the servings size are big. I got the Bywater Yuppie and added alligator sausage. The omelette was cooked great and had good flavor. The toast had plenty of butter like I enjoy. The wait staff was super attentive, and greeted me just after I sat down. The worked well as a team helping each other with clearing plates and refilling beverages. The menus is very large but it is like many breakfast lunch and dinner restaurants all in one menu. They have all American and Cajun choices. I believe anyone can find something here. The prices are fair and you can tell the people are local and come here regularly. I will bring friends and family here to show them another place for a good meal. Great job Charlie's Crew.

The second batch of stuffed shrimp and Mac n cheese my parents were given.

Decided to order takeout from Charlie's one night with my parents. We called to place our order and they went to pick it up. I ordered the loaded baked potato with fried shrimp (I've had it a few times and it's always good) and my parents ordered the stuffed shrimp with macaroni. When they came back with the food and we opened the plates we realized that their stuffed shrimp were pretty dark. They decided to try it and could not eat it. They said it had a funny smell and the shrimp were very hard. Seems like it may have been old stuffed shrimp that were just sitting in the back of the freezer. They called the restaurant and brought the food back. They replaced the stuffed shrimp and made them some new ones. These were better and you could tell they were fresher (even though it was still pretty dark). However they were pretty salty. Seems that some things in the menu there can be hit or miss.

This is a great spot with some good food and a nice bar. The prices are quite reasonable for the huge portion sizes of food you get and the beers are also a great value. If you're travelling from New Orleans you get to enjoy riding through some beautiful oak trees beside the road that form an arch over the road in some spots. The only real negative I've had here is that the service is sometimes less than perfect and might forget some of your order so you have to remind them sometimes. They do have changing daily specials and they offer a really good selection of New Orleans style food along with friendly service. They also do quite a nice brunch on Sunday and offer some items you probably won't even find in the city limits of NOLA. They have an impressively sized menu with MANY excellent choices that should please most tastes. Overall this is a nice spot to visit that also usually provides a pleasant drive from NOLA so it is a worthwhile endeavor to visit and experience this joint. They were cash only for years but now they take credit cards. My video review of Charlie's Restaurant & Catering is here: https://youtu.be/J9MED31ATUM

Love this place. Great food and friendly staff. Had a shrimp po-boy that was perfect. My wife had the veal parmigiana. Again, really good. Aldo really enjoyed the French fries with debris and cheese

Chopped steak with debris grays and rice
Bryan M.

Bring an appetite because the portions are big and the food is amazing. Dinners, sandwiches everything is packed full of flavor. The marinara sauce is some of the best. Never had a bad meal from the chop steak and debris to soup and gumbo. Service could be better, but it's ok. Dinner type feel nothing special but you come for the food.

Great breakfast & wonderful service!! Staff made sure we had drinks & checked back while we were eating!! Will go back if we are in the area

Good food got some Redfish with Crawfish sauce excellent. The menu is huge fish, shrimp hamburger it's got everything The service was good food & fast The Ambiance, well it's in Vital so let's it's local. It's kind of Dinner & Dive place but the 5rip sticking good.

Debris Fries, Fried Shrimp Poboy
Lucas G.

Walked in and there was a sign that read to seat yourself. Sat down at the bar at about 6 on a Saturday night, wasn't very busy. Service was good, I didn't need much attention. Ordered the debris fries and that's kind of a let down. It's just rally's fries with roast beef and gravy, the roast beef isn't even shredded up it came with huge chunks. The shrimp poboy I ordered a half a poboy and I was also charged for that but surely didn't seem like half-if that is half I'd love to see the full size poboy. The shrimp poboy was good, only complaint is the bread, they can use better bread but by no means was it bad. There's a decent amount of seating, low lighting. I guess it isn't the worst choice, but I wouldn't go back. I paid $20 for the half poboy, debris fries, and one beer.

This is what I'm taking home. Could only eat half.

I just had a Cajun po'boy. Shrimp and sausage. I ordered the full size and it was HUGE. Tasted great. Sausage was outstanding. Prices are reasonable. Picture is what I have left of the sandwich and a small order of fries. Enough for tomorrow. The don't have draft beer but the bottled was reasonable. Atmosphere was cafe style, nothing fancy. When we were there, there was a large table of fireman, so locals must like it. The gumbo looked outstanding. Service was attentive and quick. This northerner was extremely satisfied Would definitely recommend

Mamas Rump Roast with mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious!

Our fried veal and pork chops were overcooked. The baked macaroni and cheese didn't taste like anything.

Visited this morning with my family! Awesome surprise! Portions were huge! No one of the 7 people…read morecould finish their food! I ordered the pancakes with strawberry and Nutella, eggs, and sausage. My aunt and cousin ordered chicken and waffles...my other aunt ordered the (forgot name) but think it was the Parish...French toast stacked high and covered in whip cream, berries, and nuts. She said it was really, really good! She could've had bananas as well but she doesn't like them. Would definitely return. Mom and pops spot so no big crowds but a few people or small group is ok. Server was nice and quick. Can't recall her name though.

It's Lenten season and I wanted some seafood on Friday that wasn't fried. I saw this place had…read moregrilled fish and thought I'd give it a try. I called in my to go order and the person who took my order was nice. I ordered the grilled fish and shrimp which came with 2 sides. I got the green beans and side salad. I wanted Italian dressing, but they don't carry it so I settled on balsamic vinaigrette. She told me it'd probably be about 15 mins and since I live about 10 or so minutes away, I hopped in the car after I got off the phone and drove there. There were a few customers dining in but it wasn't very busy. My food was ready and sitting at the counter, so I paid and went home to eat. It was a nice sized piece of fish and a good bit of shrimp. Fish flavor was good but shrimp flavor was just okay. House salad and green beans both had pieces of bacon in them so I tried to avoid that as I ate. I believe the total was about $26 or $27. Overall it was just ok in my opinion. Some of the other items on the menu may taste better. I may try something else from them one day.
