It's dated in the best possible way: dim lighting, worn-in character, familiar faces, and that unmistakable local hangout atmosphere where regulars clearly outnumber first-timers. The highlight here is the Tweety Burger, and honestly, that's the reason to come. It reminded me immediately of the classic Midwest style you'd find at places like Minor-Dunn in Highland, Indiana. The patty is smashed thin and cooked flat on the grill, giving it those crispy edges and deep, savory flavor you only get from a well-seasoned griddle that's seen years of use. It tastes homemade--not engineered, not trendy, just a straightforward burger done right. You can tell they take their time with the food. Nothing feels rushed or mass-produced. The burger comes out hot, flavorful, and satisfying without trying to be gourmet or overcomplicated. No towering Instagram presentation--just a solid, honest burger that delivers exactly what you want from a local pub. Service matched the vibe perfectly. The staff were personable, welcoming, and genuinely friendly in that small-town way that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a guest stopping by a neighborhood spot. Charlie's isn't flashy. It's not modern. And if you're looking for upscale dining or trendy décor, this isn't the place. But if you want an authentic mom-and-pop tavern experience with a burger that locals clearly treat as a tradition, it's worth the stop. Best advice: stick with the Tweety Burger. Don't overthink the menu. Order it, enjoy the atmosphere, and experience a piece of local Terre Haute character. Not a destination restaurant--but absolutely a solid local classic you should try at least once.

Love this place. Great selection of beers on tap. They even have my favorite IPA (Zombie Dust from…read moreThree Floyds Brewery) on tap. The food is excellent and the staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. It's a great place to stop when in Terre Haute.

It wasn't clear what their hours were: the website said they were open until 4pm, while the hours posted Google and on the door said 2pm, and here on Yelp it says 3pm. They also had a paper sign taped to the door saying they would close that day at 1pm. Fortunately we made it there a half hour before closing, but it would probably be a good idea for them to sort that out across the various platforms. I ordered a latte with praline syrup which was nice (the cups and lids were kind of the best I've seen at a coffee shop, which is random, but worth mentioning) as well as a bagel and a donut. The donut was a chocolate long john and I asked the person taking my order if they were filled or unfilled. They said unfilled, which is what I wanted, but when I got back to my car, it was filled. My husband went in to place his own order, so he purchased another normal chocolate frosted donut and it was fine, but I would have been bummed if I had been on my own and gotten the wrong thing. My bagel was good and my husband enjoyed the coffee and pastry he ordered, plus my reject donut. ;) Looks like it'd be a nice place to stay and enjoy a meal or do some work, as there was a whole separate sitting area upstairs.

Anyway, walked into the cutest shop with wonderful employees ready to serve. Ordered a wonderful tasting espresso to go and a couple of donuts for the road back home. Tried the sprinkle birthday cake donut and a regular yeast donut. There were many options for bread choices and saw a large open space upstairs as well as a good amount of seating downstairs. Appears you can watch the bakery working while sitting as well, which is a nice add to any cafe/coffeeshop. PROS: Space is large and inviting Friendly staff Easy parking across the street or on the street Cake donut was great, needs a few more sprinkles but great Coffee taste was great, had a double espresso so definitely tasted the coffee Breakfast sandwiches were on the menu, did not try, but great option CONS: Yeast donut- depends on what you like. It is a thicker yeast donut not the light and fluffy I can eat 10 at a sitting type of yeast, but the taste was good HIGHLY RECOMMEND STOPPING INTO THIS ONE STOP SHOP!

Surrounded by incredible local art, the Artists Colony Inn sets a unique experience. The building…read morehas charming colonial features. The dining room's large fireplace is cozy. I saw works of art by the original Brown County artists including L. O. Griffith, Adolf Schultz and Will Vawter. We were seated quickly and drink orders taken. The menu has basic breakfast items with homemade biscuits and locally sourced eggs and Fisher Farms ham. Our server, Sarah, was friendly and super attentive. She checked on us multiple times and kept us after glasses filled. Food came to the table quickly. We received 5-star service! I ordered the Country Ham Steak & Eggs. The eggs were light and tender. The ham was tasty. My only complaint was that the generous serving potatoes were overly salty for me. My husband had the popular Brown County Breakfast. He loved the generous portion of smokey bacon and the freshly made biscuit. (Order the biscuit!) The local eggs were cooked to perfection. Early in the morning, we were able to find free street parking. Later in the day, nearby parking is $5.

Overall, the Artist Colony restaurant was good and I would recommend it.

Dining service starts ridiculously early and runs until around midnight. Plenty of seating. They get busy,but it is rarely crowded. The food is all over the scale. I have had really good and fairly poor meals over the last few years. The menu has everything from burgers to Italian. There is a breakfast buffet, but I have been disappointed in it the last few trips. In fact I didn't finish my last biscuits and gravy order. The one savior is the pie and coffee combo at 11:00 at night. It is hard to beat. Also on site is a gift shop and convenience store.

I ventured to Brazil one weekend morning and was looking for a breakfast spot. Sun Rise was…read morerecommended heavily on yelp, so I decided to try it. It was a bit of a challenge to find - maybe my GPS was having a problem. It's on the main Street, but I was directed just past it. I had to make a couple weird turns to get back, but I don't recall seeing a big sign with the name on it. I went in and saw some people ahead of me go sit down, so I did the same. Apparently they were "regulars" and could do that... but I got a bit of a look when I sat down. The server was nice and I apologized... not sure if it mattered or not. I asked for recommendations and was told the skillets were good, and some other items - but I wanted to try the biscuits and gravy. The server said they were good, and I probably should have paid attention to her recommendation. I got a half-order of B&G, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and sausage patty. * B&G were okay. Missing any crumbled sausage in the gravy. Biscuits were much to describe. * Sausage was like a McDonald's patty. * Eggs were very good and hot. * Potatoes were good - not as crispy as I like, but decent. The water I had seemed to have an odd taste, as did the coffee. Maybe it was a local thing. I was in-and-out in under 30 minutes. Service was good, and the restaurant seemed full of locals. I sat near the kitchen area, and there was a lot of back-and-forth yelling/talking among the staff and patrons. Overall okay... but it wasn't the best breakfast I've ever had. The locals seemed to really like it, so maybe I had an off-day experience. Next time I go to Brazil I'll try something different though.

I was a little skeptical of this place for dinner, but they have a decent dinner menu and the food was good. Prices are reasonable and the service was excellent. We had fried fish and fried crab cakes with baked potatoes. The crab cakes (made with real crab meat) were surprisingly good. The baked potatoes were good sized, fully cooked and served with butter and sour cream. One in our party had a chicken Caesar salad and absolutely loved the salad dressing, which they make in-house. It's a good little place to eat in this area, and one of the few places that's not chain fast food.

I can forgive slow service, bad food, or high prices, but all three delivered with a "screw you"…read moreattitude is beyond the pale. $33/plate for Mother's Day with a mandatory 20% gratuity, and you can certainly tell the staff know they're getting a tip regardless of service quality. We waited over 90 minutes for our food, with no apologies from the waitress. We were told for half an hour that our ticket was up next, the only thing that kept us from walking. We received our food twenty minutes from closing and were rushed out without time to eat or partake in the "unlimited" sides that are supposedly offered. Rather than bringing us dinner rolls or any of the other sides while we waited, we were left to stare at the kitchen with an empty table. Very soon after delivering our food, the waitress threw Styrofoam containers on the table and demanded our dessert order. The food is, quite literally, bagged lettuce (Kroger American blend? I buy this often and recognized the carrot and radish slice shapes. At least add some croutons!) The "unlimited sides" are rehydrated potatoes with green beans and corn, both seemingly straight from the can. We politely discussed these issues with the owner, asking him to remove the gratuity from our ticket. Rather than showing concern or asking what had gone wrong, he simply refused to do this without any question. At no point did the waitress or owner even feign an apology or concern that their restaurant had categorically failed to provide the Mother's Day experience that you expect at such a price point. I told the manager that I was not signing the receipt, and he forged my signature in front of me. He continued to argue aggressively with me and called the bus boy over to mock us, claiming that we just wanted a free meal. A family member in line to pay behind me told me that he threatened to fight me out in the parking lot. Another reviewer mentions a similar experience. Apparently this is part of the experience at Hilltop Family Restaurant. We came hoping to honor a recently deceased family member who used to love eating here but had not been able to since new management took over a few years ago. It is tragic to see what was once a local staple pass into ruin like this. I am not one to leave negative reviews, but this was the absolute worst dining experience I have ever had the misfortune of suffering through. Save your time, money, and sanity, and go to any of the other options in Spencer.
