Charlie's became the main place we went for dinner during the whole river walk season. We tried a variety of things on the menu and we were never disappointed. We were consistently impressed that they serve REAL turkey, that the staff was friendly and efficient, and the food was jut plain good. We were not disappointed with a single meal, and we took home leftovers after just about every visit. read more

The food was just delicious! Our waitress was so kind and efficient! We did not know this place existed, until I was craving deli sandwiches, and my husband came across this little gem on yelp. read more

My friend and I stopped in for brunch--she chose breakfast, I went with lunch. The French onion soup was tasty but a little cool, and the chicken gyro (no onions, added cucumbers) had great flavor. I really appreciated the variety on the menu and the super friendly staff. Overall, a solid spot--I'd definitely come back! read more

Charlie's is by far our favorite diner spot in the area. It is consistent, quick and always hits the spot. We love their breakfast. Their staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good experience. One time they had a snafu with their potato source. Rather than serving me the different potatoes out right, the waiter let me know the situation and gave me the option to switch them out if I wanted. He made sure to check in on me and ensure I liked the potatoes / offered to switch them out if I wanted. That experience and many others of quick & kind service sets this place apart for me. read more

You simply cannot go wrong with Charlie's. If I had a single complaint, it would be that they could use a larger diner, haha! Their food is fantastic. Truly. It's been such a long time since I could say it seems as though the chef actually enjoys cooking for others. We've been here at least three times now and every time they are bustling and still delicious. The food is always hot and fresh and full of flavor. Seriously. Every. Single. Thing. My favorite meal is the Crab Cake Benedict, smothered in Hollandaise sauce while my kiddos often pick the pancake and sausage/bacon meal. Rarely do we have leftovers because we simply devour it. Thank you Charlie's! See you again soon! read more

Friendly servers, fast seating even when busy and always delicious food! I have never had a bad meal at Charlie's!!

This is my happy place. When the world feels mean and hopeless and you want to see some humanity and eat some amazing tasty food that you can count on, well..I come here. You can tell the staff has not quietly quit as these are the super stars here. The owners and their staff really know what they're doing to make a business work. Bravo! See you tomorrow. read more

I have always experienced great service at Charlie's Restaurant. They have fantastic salad options! Great comfort food in a family friendly environment! read more

Charlie's never disappoints, I have eaten here many many times and always loved everything. There biscuits and gravy are the best I've ever had in my life. The chicken dumpling soup is mouth watering and if you are lucky Maria ( the owner) has made rice pudding or bread pudding that day both are delicious. They offer many different soups with a different one dedicated to specific day. Among their other great soups that I love at Charlie's is the stuffed green pepper soup. Everyone on the waitstaff especially Christina and Angela are wonderful. Tony read more

This is an excellent family-owned restaurant run by really nice people. Portions are huge, soups are great, service is friendly, and they are really really nice people. I can't recommend it more. I usually get breakfast, with eggs benedict or an omelet. Always good, and we totally appreciate them! read more

Great food great service. The Rubin is actually basically gravy pretty good God bless Peace out

I ordered the Ruben Sandwich. It was okay, corned beef was dried out. If you want a good Ruben go to a bonafide deli, not a diner. Other persons food looked okay, I might try the place again. read more

If you haven't checked out Charlie's on Campbell, you're missing out on great meals, fantastic friendly service in a pleasant atmosphere. Family owned, and it shows! Always clean, and Mary and Christina will ensure your dining experience is excellent. I began frequenting this establishment long before Joe, ( RIP) and Mary took over. Now Mary and her dedicated staff whip up some huge portions of, sure to delight even the pickiest diner. Perhaps you were skeptical about ordering a NY Strip steak dinner? Don't be! It is always prepared exactly like you requested. Medium rare arrives hot and nice and juicy and delicious! Want extra sour cream for your baked potato? Not a problem! They are well known by us local , frequent regulars that their cup of homemade soup ( four available daily) is bigger than any other restaurant 's bowl. These kind folks never skimp on be portions. Talk about more bang for your buck! Next time you want a yummy meal with all the fixings, give the folks at Charlie's a try. I promise you will not regret it! read more

This is a little establishment. The people are all so friendly. The waiter was very personable. My drink order was taken right away and my meal when he came back. The French onion soup was pretty good. It had a lot of cheese. The onion flavor could have been a little more but not bad. The Philly was huge. It looked really good, unfortunately it did not taste as good as it looked. The meat was like steak ummms and not like fresh meat. The fries were really light and crispy. The price was really cheap for the amount of food you got. read more

Been going to Charlies for quite a few years but this past time found they have changed their senior breakfast menu to less quantity, fewer items, and raised the prices so we left hungry. Huge disappointment. Should have left. Doubt we will go back unless they go back to the prior senior menu where you got a good breakfast. read more

Absolutely fantastic place service is great. It doesn't matter what you order. It is very, very very good. The little hidden gem. I probably should mention it because now everybody will find out about it. read more

Lots of food. Great prices and great service. I've been here many times and never been disappointed!!

This place is about as unpretentious as they come. Straight forward, what you see is what you get - but everything I've ever tried is delish. I'd highly recommend and don't be surprised if you have to wait for a seat (but the line typically goes quickly!) read more

Excellent breakfast! Their homemade corn beef hash is the best. And their pancakes taste as good as they smell. My favorites.

I go here all the time. Their food is fabulous. There isn't one thing I've gotten that I haven't liked. Service is always very well on carry out and eating in the ambience is very family oriented. Very inviting. I'm here at least twice a week. love love love there food. read more

Great food, great service, great owners and reasonable prices. Highly recommend for any meal you want.

Moldy tomato in my salad, brown lettuce. I mentioned it to my server with no reply or remedy. I'm sad because the food here used to be great. To be honest it's dirty inside as well- main room and bathroom, floors...they need to do better. read more

WoW haven't been here in a long time. Ended up here after 2 other places were just too crowded. Great service and food. Shared a Charlie's omelette- large and loaded with everything. Also shared French toast- really good also. Place was packed, but because of such efficient workers- minimal wait and quick turnover. Very clean inside! read more

I love the people, the food is off the r chain!!!... I discovered and then visited this lovely restaurant a few weeks back. The environment is homey and cozy. The staff are welcoming and very friendly! The food, well that a whole other level of discussion! It's delicious, delicious, delicious!! Everything I've ordered has been scrumptious! I really am lazy at giving reviews but this place, yeah, I'll take the time to give a shout out! One of my favorite go-to spots now! read more

Our friends brought us here while we were visiting Detroit. They recommended Charlie's as their top brunch spot in the city and let me say there was zero disappointment. My Chunky Monkey Waffle meal was one of the best waffles I've had. The staff was beyond attentive and do I even say, they appeared to enjoy working there? On top of everything I mentioned, the owner of the diner came around to us after our meal to check on us. I know that may not be uncommon for a lot of diners family-owned businesses, but they were packed on this late Sunday morning. For her to take even a few seconds to acknowledge us, really spoke to me. If you have the chance to stop here for brunch, you must! read more

First time at Charlie's and their service was phenomenal. It always makes a difference going somewhere you can tell everyone enjoys working there and are a family. I got the potato pancakes and they were delicious. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles and it was huge and so good! Food cooked to order, and they make sure every table is taken care of. Would recommend! read more

A great find. A family run home cooked type restaurant. They have lots of items on the menu that would fill that comfort food need. The food my wife and I had was delicious, I went with a Perch dinner and my wife had Eggs Benedict. They had a good crowd on a weekday, I'm sure they do well all the time. read more

Our breakfast was served hot and delicious!! Our waiter, Eric, was very attentive to our needs and kept the coffee pouring! Our meal was a cousin reunion and after our meal, we were catching up on everyone's life but never were we bothered by staff. I highly recommend anyone in this area to treat themselves to a great meal with great staff and a very relaxing atmosphere. read more

It's alright, nothing to write home about. The special is a good deal with eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, toast, and pancakes for $10. Service was a little slow, but the place was pretty busy. The chicken noodle soup was good with the little noodles. The packet of oyster crackers was very tasty. The waffle with the strawberry syrup made it way too watery and soggy in the middle. Would recommend getting it on the side instead. read more
