Charlie's came highly recommended to us, but sorry to say we were disappointed in our meal. Now don't get me wrong, it was Ok, but not as good as it could have been, and a real let down when compared to most of the "great" seafood places we've eaten at. The chowder was good, but nothing special. It was also... More

Charlie's has been coasting on it's laurels for too long. First time I ate here was 2002 and thought it was the cat's meow. Sorry to say, but today's food should go the the cats. More

I take off one star immediately if food is not served hot and it was not. My husband and I had seafood basics I had the shrimp and my husband had a seafood platter. The service was ok, but i always cringe when a big party comes in and all of a sudden you become meaningless. So if we were... More

We went about a half hour before closing & got a great table near the window & deck. We loved the salmon & also the seared ahi tuna so much that we came back two nights later to have the same dishes! More

I would come to this restaurant everyday if I could find a place to park. Lol! Always crowded always delicious fresh seafood. I would give a best time to go but they are very crowded all the time and for a very good reason. A MUST stop for seafood lovers. Enjoy! More

Lunch was good, we had broiled grouper burgers - I know fried is better but the significant other was with me.... I do recommend the coleslaw. The price is reasonable and our waitress was great. She suggested we eat on the deck as we would get a surprise. As we were having lunch, several people rushed to the railing around... More
