I ate one of the most tender and moist fried chicken breasts that I have ever tasted. the mashed potatoes were fresh, hot and creamy, two types of gravy were offered and both the cornbread and biscuits were tender, flavorful and delicious. The broccoli was steamed but not not floppy and the green salad was a generous portion of green goodness. I could only eat about half of the offerings and the price was less that $12. from where I was sitting, my daughter's bar be que chicken and Mac and cheese looked great and my granddaughters child portion of turkey dinner was as delicious and generous as the adult meals. We will return here again! absolutely amazing!

You get nice proportions and food isn't too salty. I have no complaints and I rather go here over Cracker Barrel! Fight me... Lol!! I usually order the pancakes or French toast. The only complaint I do have is the size of the onions they cut with the potatoes they could cut them a little smaller. Lol! I bit into what I thought was a potato and nope.. It was a damn quarter sized onion lol!

I've been wanting to check out The Charles because I love a good oyster happy hour, and when I…read moreheard their oysters were only $1 each, I knew I had to go. It's conveniently located right off the street. Parking is a little limited out front, but if you park around the back it's not bad at all. The restaurant itself is beautiful, very classy, very clean, and well put together. They have a bar area, a main dining space, and even outdoor seating. I ordered the raw oysters (of course) and they were fresh and good. They are on the smaller side, but for $1 each, you honestly can't beat it. I also tried one of their mocktails.They have a great variety and a solid lunch menu to go along with it. Service was amazing! The bartenders were classy, attentive, and just as polished as the restaurant's overall vibe. Overall, I would highly recommend T

The Charles has a wonderfully appointed interior which never disappoints. I had the chicken and waffles and they were done nicely. I hoped for a bit more flavor on the chicken but also enjoyed that they used chicken thighs instead of a dryer piece of chicken. A nice spot with decent food and atmosphere.

This place was fantastic!!!…read more We stopped by for brunch and fell in love with this little side spot attached to The Charles. We walked in and saw a variety of food and drink items both made fresh and pre-prepared. I ordered the avocado toast and it was the best I've had in a very long time! I also ordered an iced coffee with sugar-free vanilla and it was perfect! I was also very happy to see that they carry the B-Doughnuts cinnamon buns, so I had to get one of those to-go! While I waited for my food to be prepared I took a lot around the market and they have so many different items for sale (spices, honeys, cheeses, etc.) There's a little sitting area where you can enjoy your food inside if you'd like and a nice selection of wines, vodkas and whiskeys in the back. I will definitely return to try more from this place, and take more pictures to share!

Sometimes the coffee is good and sometimes it is not (the coffee drink tastes more like milk than coffee) depending on who makes the drink. We have been numerous times and ordered different coffees on the menu, but more often than not, the coffee does not hit the spot. However, the service is friendly every time we have been. There are also plenty of specialty food items that you can purchase as well as alcohol.

I am so disappointed in this bakery! I have been there so many times and have ordered many cakes…read more This time I ordered a 1/4 sheet "My singing monster" for my son's 4th birthday. When I got an estimate and description of the cake it all sounded great. I was told there would be "monsters" on the cake and they would be edible, some trees and what not. The cake was $88.00. When I got there, the cake looked nothing like I was picturing from the conversation and it was very underwhelming, it had the logo on top, and ONE monster on the side and trees and greenery. The trees and greenery was fine but literally ONE monster on the side. I just did not expect to pay $88 for one monster. I am not one to discredit anyone's art but this was really ridiculous. . I addressed the girl at the front and she told me that they could add some sprinkles, a couple of monsters and that I would need to be charged 23 dollars AND I would have to come by several hours later to get the cake, I declined because it was the day of my sons party and his party was in just a couple of hours. This was a very sad experience and probably would not purchase a cake here again. Attached is the cake. Once I got home I added sprinkles of my own and a couple of picks to living it up. Giving 1 star because over all the cakes taste was good, but decorations and communication really lacked.

The service could have been better, but I don't think it was the servers fault. I was there for a bday party for around 20 ppl to include a dedicated kids table and 1 server to cover us all. 3-4 meals were not captured and I and 3 others had to wait until after everyone else was served to get our food. In my case I was given someone else's pizza (just pineapples) and the server took mine back and basically sprinkled Italian sausage crumbles on top. The environment was good. Family style bar/restaraunt with that local community staple vibe. Nice. Everyone was friendly, the bar tender was personable and I didn't drink anything just watched a game in the bar tv awaiting for my fam. I would go again if someone asked me to and maybe if in the area and wanted to have a drink hit the bar.wasnt the best experience but was a decent one. 3 stars seems adequate rating.

Ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli. The chicken was good but the broccoli…read morewas overcooked and mushy while the Alfredo sauce had no flavor to it (tasted like they had dumped a jar of Ragu Alfredo sauce and added water to it). When I brought this to the server's attention, she went back and talked to the manager who also agreed the broccoli was overcooked so they comped the meal. The initial rating was going to be 2 stars but 9 times out of ten, this place makes really good food and the fact that the Customer Service saved them from losing a regular customer stands out over one bad meal. The server herself was embarrassed when I brought this up to her and I had to advise her this was not her fault, as she was always within reach and not hard to get the attention of. The wife had ordered a salad with chili vinaigrette and bleu cheese was initially brought out in a separate container. When we brought this to the attention of the server, she immediately corrected it and brought out two containers of the vinaigrette. The ambiance of the place was like a family owned establishment and all of the staff were on point and available at all times. It was cozy and didn't feel like we were being rushed while the place was hopping, the parking lot was full and the turnover was very quick. Never felt pressured or rushed, but the process was as smooth as silk. Still one of the best Italian restaurants in the area, which says something for a business that looks like a hole in the wall from the outside.

Decent. Not special. Unlikely to make my regular rotation…read more I drove past this place going back to forth to work and on the outside it looked like a nice establishment. Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

The cornbread was hard, like inedible hard. The steak and cheese featured soggy bread with a side of limp lukewarm fries, and the jerk chicken was a poor imitation of jerk flavor, as the best word I could use to describe it was lifeless. On the bright side, the employee was friendly and the food was ready on time, so at least there was that. Unfortunately, this was a total miss so my first time will also be my last time.

I can definitely see this being a great spot in the summer when the area is more lively and scenic. That said, I'm reviewing this strictly based on the food. Unfortunately, the dishes we ordered were a bit underwhelming. I had the burger with fries -- the fries were actually very good, crispy and well-seasoned -- but the burger itself was fairly basic and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. It felt comparable to something you might get at a fast-food spot rather than a sit-down restaurant. My girlfriend ordered the crab cake sandwich. It was decent, but it didn't stand out compared to other crab cakes we've had in the area. I would consider visiting again, but next time I'd likely focus more on seafood-specific entrées rather than traditional American options. There's potential here, and I'd be interested in giving it another try with a different selection.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CELEBRATION TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE…read more After my daughter's high school graduation, our family chose Port Tobacco Restaurant to celebrate a milestone we'll never get back. Instead of making memories, we spent the evening dealing with terrible service, disappointment, and what we suspect was food poisoning. From the moment we sat down, things went downhill. Orders arrived incomplete. Food came out so late that some people were finished eating before others even received their meals. Drinks took over 40 minutes to arrive, and the daiquiris were practically melted when they finally hit the table. The graduate's special celebratory drink didn't arrive until another 20 minutes later. Then came the insult. We were charged $13 for mustard, mayo, ketchup, and hot sauce to make our crab sauce. I asked to speak with a manager, hoping things would improve. Instead, I was met with rudeness and indifference. The service never got better. For the first time in my life, I asked for the gratuity to be removed because I simply could not justify paying extra for service this bad. But the worst part happened after we left. Before we even made it home, 4 of the 6 people in our party became violently ill with what we suspect was food poisoning. My daughter who graduated had another event that evening and had to leave 20 mins after arriving because she was projectile vomiting. Watching her spend what should have been one of the happiest days of her life sick and miserable was heartbreaking. I called the restaurant the next day to report what happened and speak with someone in management. No one ever returned my call. I wanted to love this place. It's close to home and right on the water. I've been there before and genuinely thought it would be the perfect place to celebrate such an important occasion. I was wrong. A graduation dinner turned into a disaster. Poor service is one thing. Sending a family home sick is another. Never again.

So my fiance tells me to get dressed and let's go get some good food. The ambiance was lovely. I do love having a reason to dress nice and it felt romantic. Even in a room with other tables and people, it wasn't overly crowded. It was extra nice to have our server take notice of the effort I put in. I wish I knew her name because I would absolutely share and recommend her 100%. She, plus the food, really cheered me up that day and that's kind of rare. It's rare to go somewhere new and fully have your spirits lifted. We tried the crab balls, the surf and turf with steak, added scallops and some sides. It was so good. The seafood, the steak, everything was cooked to perfection. It was very filling too. I think my favorite side was the rice. I did like the macaroni but I was unexpectedly blown away by the rice. I cannot wait to go back and share the experience with my daughter. I was eyeing the lamb and from how tender the steak turned out, I will definitely order the lamb next time.

Visit #1: Our bill was mixed up with another table. A basic, embarrassing mistake that set the tone for what was to come. Visit #2: We couldn't even get a table. No explanation, no apology -- just turned away. Visit #3 -- the final straw: My husband called ahead and made a reservation. When we arrived, the hostess flat-out denied ever receiving it, then casually assumed we'd "be there in a few minutes" -- as if she knew exactly who we were and what had happened. That's not a system glitch, that's negligence. What made it so much worse? Not a single apology. Instead, we were met with outright rudeness from the staff. And the food? Horrible. Not "disappointing" -- genuinely bad. To top it off, the restaurant has a noticeable unpleasant odor that made it impossible to enjoy even being inside. This place has had every opportunity to make things right and has failed spectacularly each time. The staff is rude, disorganized, and completely indifferent to customer experience. Save your evening and go literally anywhere else.
