Charley's Waterfront Cafe

Geocaching in the area, and looked for an interesting restaurant. I found it here. I love antiques, and I love when they take an original building and don't change it very much to turn it into a restaurant. The food was good, and the staff are excellent. Very friendly and helpful. I think it's worth a visit, and I would like to come back in warmer weather and sit out on that deck.

We love Charley's so today we decided to try the Date Night special. We only have one word...amazing! We had the crab dip for our appetizer and the beef tips. Everything was delicious! You can't beat this deal (which is available all day). We also had a wonderful server, Rylee! She was the sweetest! We will be recommending to everyone!

Hate to leave a bad review but this was a very disappointing meal. Setting is pleasant. We were outside overlooking the creek on a nice afternoon. It took 1hr and 10 minutes to receive our food. Some of it had apparently been sitting a while because it was cold when it got to us. Melted cheese on top of a cold grilled chicken breast? Luke warm pasta. The French fries were fine, but all the entrees were pretty bad. Wife’s french onion soup was inedible. Waiter could not tell us what drinks were on tap and didn’t offer a menu. I would recommend finding a different restaurant.

We stopped here to get some dinner. It's a unique restaurant set up in an old warehouse. It's tastefully decorated with plenty of separate rooms for large parties. They also had a large patio area overlooking the Appomattox River. It was a little too hot to sit out there but I would imagine it would be very enjoyable with the right temperatures. We ordered a Cobb salad and the house hamburger. Both were expertly prepared and presented. The side salad served with the hamburger was amazingly large. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Our server Briscoe was friendly with just the right amount of attention.

Really cool atmosphere with an open concept. Lots of windows. Very nice and helpful staff, though a tad slow sometimes. No matter, there was a variety of chocies and it was all delicious. We will be repeat consumers.
