    Really nice outdoor seating
    Jason D.

    Stopped in Sunday morning, was pretty busy. Sat right away. Had a miscommunication with the server and host so we sat for awhile lol all good, once we put in our order drinks and food were out in like 5-10 mins. Very fast, I had the biscuits n gravy platter. Comes with two eggs, breakfast meat(I got ham steak). The bowl of biscuits (like 3-4) was a huge portion. Coulda used a slight more gravy but very good overall. The eggs were cooked perfect and the ham steak was really good! Still lots of more options to try so I'll be back soon.

    Omg 5 stars for the vegan breakfast options! I've been searching for a place near Disney (that isn't Disney) AND is open before 11 am! I finally found it, Eureka! Seriously though, the staff is so friendly and the food is delicious! We sat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning and enjoyed the heck of out of breakfast. We can't wait to come back!

    Beautiful day to sit outside

    We have been a few times for breakfast. Enjoy the large menu choices and service. Very casual indoor/outdoor seating. Lots going on in Celebration all year round to people watch. This last time Carmen took great care of us. Say Hi! Some favorites are their Celebration platter, omelettes, burritos and pancakes. Enjoy!

    Food was good & Marcus (our server) was wonderful. 1st time there but will be back. I got French toast with peanut butter, and friends got the Celebration Benedict. We shared a side order of bacon.

    We got Buffalo chicken dip and the fried pickles, and mimosas! All so good. Also got the club which was great. The patio is dog friendly. The steak salad is also. Great! The service was amazing as well. They get you seated so quick! The ambiance is so cute as well inside. Only thing I didn't like is the Mac and cheese. The homemade chips are amazing.

    Such a cute addition to Celebration. I love the old school diner feel with the counter and the decor. Speaking of decor, I visited during December when the whole restaurant was taken over by The Grinch, and it was adorable. We stopped in for dinner after experiencing the "snow" in the downtown area. For a table of 2 while it was pretty busy, we were seated right away. The service was quick. The sodas were massive. Fried green beans and Buffalo chicken dip was to start. I really liked the fried green beans and the dipping sauce. For entrees, we ordered the Steakhouse Salad and a Cheeseburger. The salad was fresh. However, the steak was overcooked. It was well. But like really well. Everything else tasted great, and I especially liked the croutons. The burger got good praises.

    Decided to eat brunch while we visited celebration town. We got seated outside which was nice because there was a breeze and we also went on 4th of july so we saw them preparing for the event later that night. They were busy. We ordered the patty melt with tater tots and steak bowl. Def was not expecting the steak to be chopped up and not sure what type it is but I did not like it. My bf liked his patty melt though.

    Famous Dutch babies - couldn't understand this plate - not tasfull at all
    Erika M.

    We had the am sandwich it was good, their home fries also good. We made the mistake of ordering the famous Dutch babies - this was awful not sure how to describe it. Service was top notch! Ambiance was cute but restaurant was dirty and we got seat it at the back by restrooms and it was incredible hot- air conditioning wasn't working. I might just need to try more things in their menu but based on today's I wasn't impressed to go back.

    So it's been quite awhile since I've been to Downtown Diner. This is my first time eating breakfast, usually I would come for lunch. I am on the fence about coming back, as I was not impressed with the experience this time around. We tried WORLD FAMOUS DUTCH BABIES. It was like trying an interesting omelet with berries and whip cream. We did order the A.M. Sandwich with home fries. That was tasteful. The service was not bad. They sat us down pretty quick. However, I think the experience was not as desirable, as it appears that the back section where they sat us, the A/C was out, during a day when the weather was 94 degrees outside. Additionally, I felt the floor was sticky. The ambiance is designed a like a small town diner. I gave the place lower stars based on my experience this time around.

    Chocolate chip pandake
    Jackie S.

    I've seen this spot appear to open and close a few times since the pandemic era... and it's been a favorite of mine each time! The vibe in here is the perfect cozy, classic diner feel, and they have plenty of options at an affordable price point. They serve all day breakfast, so naturally I went with a classic breakfast spread with a chocolate chip pancake on the side! The meal was what you want out of a diner breakfast - a good variety of options, good portions, and a solid pancake. I enjoyed my meal and so did the rest of my party! They also had a good amount of allergy friendly options for our gluten free friend. Service was friendly and we weren't rushed. I love this location and the food here!

    5 Egg Omelette with grits and multigrain toast.  Grits thick on top but very watery after the top layer was removed.
    Johny M.

    My omelet was overcooked and dry but it was good. For a $20 omelet I expected better. The grits were a little watery but delicious. A little thicker would've been better. The service was good. The ambiance fine.

    The Dutch babies are the best I've ever had! I love going there! The staff are always great and it's decorated always cool, sometimes they put a theme in there for a while (like Haunted Mansion!).

    Went with my family and it was super cute decorated for Christmas. Very attentive staff and the food was good and pretty big portions for a reasonable price. I'll definitely stop by again.

The location was incredibly convenient since most surrounding restaurants are Disney World spots, other dining options were at least 20 minutes away. Without a rental car and Ubering everywhere, being able to just head downstairs for a drink and a bite was a lifesaver. The truffle fries with Parmesan were my favorite. I also ordered the chicken quesadillas were decent, but coming from Houston (where, let's be honest, the food scene is unmatched), it's hard not to compare. They just weren't that buttery, toasted quesadilla I'm used to. The green salsa had an unusual texture, almost like applesauce, which was a little off-putting. The sour cream was fine, and I actually enjoyed the pickled onions as a nice touch. The margaritas were good! They offer several flavor additions like coconut and mango that work as sweeteners, so if you prefer a sweeter margarita I would definitely suggest adding one. Ordering it straight is on the bitter side, so the flavors are a nice way to customize your drink. Overall, the ambience and service were great, and the food is solid. Gratuity is included and my bill was around $60.

We ordered the Blueberry Buckle which is 4 slices of blueberry coffee cake topped with vanilla glaze, fresh blueberries and mint. We also got the Short Rib Hash. There is an extensive cocktail and moonshine menu as well. I wish there were some interesting mocktails too but it seems they do not have any. The blueberry buckle was good although a bit dry in places where the vanilla glaze and fresh blueberries helped. I do wish the mint had been more incorporated into the dish rather than just as a garnish. I broke apart the mint and sprinkled it across the cake and really liked the additional flavor. The short hash was also very good, with a kick that the server did warn us about. As always, servings are big so we took home leftovers.

The food has also been consistently high quality across most visits, with only very few moments where I can recall any issues. Had a fabulous date night with my husband, something we had been looking forward to for a while. The food was delicious. I ordered the chef's special, the surf and turf (filet with a half lobster tail cooked scampi). Our server was delightful, though service was a bit slower than usual this night. We sat for a while after the bread and salads, which are always generous, and by the time our meals arrived I was already pretty full. We dine here often, so I know this isn't typical and just felt like an off night. As usual, the staff came over to box up our leftovers, and since we were caught up enjoying our evening, we didn't pay close attention. Unfortunately, the next day I realized my leftovers were missing almost the entire lobster tail, which was a big part of a very expensive dish. I was honestly a little sad, as I had been looking forward to enjoying it for lunch. I do wish I had double-checked before leaving, but I also think a bit more care could have been taken when packing it. They've always done such a great job in the past, even boxing up small extras, so it didn't cross my mind to check. Just a heads up to others to make sure everything is in your to-go boxes before you leave. I still appreciate the dining experience at Charlie's, but anyone would be disappointed to lose part of such an expensive meal. As a small suggestion, if something is part of the main course and there's a significant portion left, it should always be included or at least confirmed with the guest before discarding.
