We didn't get to take in the ambiance because we travel with our dog so we had to order to go and eat in the car. Still, this was nothing short of amazing. My wife and I both LOVED it! The meatloaf isn't always on the menu but if it is you must try it. Bring a hearty appetite. read more

Small restaurant and we were here at 1:30 pm yet it proceeded to fill up until there were no tables Available. There were approximately 25 people. Service was excellent. Breakfast is offered all day except no pancakes or French toast after 11 a.m. My husband ordered the hot beef sandwich, which was everything you could expect. Thick sliced roast beef, Texas thick slices of bread, mashed potatoes with ample gravy and a Heaping bowl of coleslaw. He Said he wouldn't want to live around here because he would eat here too often. Since breakfast is served all day I went for the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and Raisin toast. It was delicious. Both meals allowed us to add our own pepper and salt if needed, which we did. There is a board with a list of homemade pies and another board with desserts including Cake/ice cream, cookies. 2nd stop hubby had the roast beef sandwich again and I tried the Ruben with fries and we left with a couple peanut butter and chocolate Chip cookies to go. Peanut butter cookie with that homemade taste I remember as a child. Soft, chewy, fresh and delicious. The chocolate chip was just as tasty. Huge cookies for a great takeout when your too full to eat it at the restaurant. I also enjoyed a good tasting lemonade that came with two slices of fresh lemon. read more

Pie was tasty but their COVID precautions were sad. 1 of the 4 staff that we saw had a mask actual on. 1 had it under her chin. 2 didn't have any mask at all. The tables were close together and guests were sitting anywhere they wanted. read more

Great service everyone was very friendly. Food was great loved the ribs and the coconut cream pie is the best. Never had a bad meal there.

Great selection of homemade pies and cakes really ended the meal well. I think this is a place that makes good meat options, but we were not wowed with our seafood entrees. read more

Walked the porkies that day, drove in for a bite. Ordered the meat loaf, while friends orders chicken wrap and roast beef. Was surprised at the amount on the plate! The place filled up fast for the meat loaf, which was really tasty . Excellent meals for the long drive south. Definitely recommending this as a main stop for trips in the North. read more

They serve breakfast all day, minus pancakes and French toast after 11AM. I went for something off of the normal sandwich menu which sort of ended up being breakfast anyways.... I ordered the Denver Egg Sandwich, which was almost like a Denver omelet folded up and stuffed into two pieces of bread. It had ham, green pepper and onion on the inside. The only thing I wish I would have asked for, is adding cheese. It was served with a side of chips and a slice of dill pickle! Every review on every website for Char's Cafe stated that even if you do not have any room left, that you need to try at least one of many of the homemade pies here. We decided to get two slices to go, one of the strawberry rhubarb, and one dutch apple. I am not sure how they made it back to camp an hour away but they did. And lasted about 10 minutes after we got there. They were both tart and fresh. I wasn't a huge fan of the pie crust, but I usually am not a fan of most pie crusts to begin with. The strawberry rhubarb was my favorite. http://smalltowngirlfoodieworld.blogspot.com/2015/07/chars-cafe.html read more

This is THE place to stop and eat if you're anywhere within 30-45 miles... Lots of options and the food is great. My only problem is that I didn't save room for the homemade pie! read more

My wife had a Rueben and said it was one of the better that's she's had. I had deep the fried walleye. It' was disgusting. Really - who ever heard of walleye fish sticks? Some of them tasted really fishy. Let the diner beware... read more

Bacon cheeseburger was decent. Didn't realize they don't come with any toppings. Fries a little underdone and no salt. Overall okay. Probably a little better if we ate in. Would be interested in trying one of their sandwiches next time. read more

Amazing food, the servers are always friendly and the whole atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely. Come here every day we are in the town.

Love this little place. My family owns a hunting cabin in the area and I come up for a week each summer. This is my go to place for some lunch and pie. Most everything I've tried here has been good, but their pie is excellent! Cute, homey and affordable. read more

I have to tell you, this establishment goes out of their way for the customer. We left the casino last night at 7PM CDT headed north to Chars, then my clock radio jumped an hour ahead, now it's 8:30 Eastern time, so we called and asked what time do you close, Our waitress Katie answered the phone and said 9PM, I asked were 10 minutes away, should I not make the trip to Char's, without hesitation she responded, no, come on by we will wait. They were so accommodating, I had an awesome Club sandwich, and my wife had her Ruben sandwich. We finished up about 9:05, and another group of 7 just came in and she greeted them with open arms. Thank you for your hospitality, and darn good food! read more

We go to Char's a couple of times a year when we're in the area. It's usually our breakfast spot. There are not a lot of restaurant options in the area so we feel lucky to have this place. The breakfasts are pretty good and I've had some decent soups and baked goods as well. I've never left hungry. I'll be back read more

Good diner. Insides are a bit tired, but the food was fantastic. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

We stopped in for breakfast while on vacation because of the great reviews. The food was excellent and our server (Char herself) was friendly and provided great service. I got a breakfast skillet that came with cinnamon French toast and it was delicious. The portion size was large and the prices were low. Highly recommended. I know we will be back on our next vacation. read more

Great little place on Hwy 45; stopped in for a late lunch and greeted with menus and smiles. The pot roast special looked good, but not hungry enough for that. Hubby had a tuna melt and I had a hot corned beef sandwich; both were very good. We took pie to go; our server brought it to us with forks in the bag, just in case we wanted to eat it on the road. We had Dutch apple and coconut cream; wonderful! read more

Great place little place. We were passing through the the area and stopped for breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

Nice clean old fashioned restaurant. They do charge extra for lettuce, tomato, Mayo, and onion for a cheeseburger, which I thought was weird. We don't do that in Texas. It was a good cheeseburger after that and the cherry crumble pie with ice cream was delicious. read more

Love this place whenever we're in Bruce Crossing!! Great food, great service at a decent price for a small town!!!

Good homestyle cooking. No frills. Plenty of food on the plate. All food cooked very well. Mexican omelette very good and can order any time of the day and made with REAL eggs, as it should be but so often these days is not. Reasonable prices. Waitress was great!!! read more

Great food, great atmosphere. The perfect place to stop after a morning of exploring Bond Falls.
