Charlie's Old Fashioned Kitchen

We finally decided to try this place and I would say it was just ok food. I got chicken fried chicken which was ok, a little greasy. Mac and cheese they say is homemade but it’s very similar to KFCs mac, not much flavor. We got the 3 combo appetizer with fried mushrooms, jalapeño, and mozzarella sticks, that was just “ok.” For 2 mixed drinks, the $13.99 appetizer, and 2 orders chicken fried chicken/steak, the total with tip came out to be around $80, which I felt was a little overpriced. The atmosphere was neat, it’s a big restaurant in a cool building. The music was pretty awful, it was like “country pop” which was pretty annoying. I would give it another shot next time and try a burger or something.

I am from Indiana and stopped in for dinner and ice cream on my last night here and let me tell you the young lady that helped us (sorry I can't remember her name) was an absolute sweetheart and was so helpful 😊. My boyfriend and I both got the cowboy steak mine without mushrooms. That was delicious along with the Greenbeans made just like grandma use to make them, mashed potoes, and fried okra, it was all so good. Next time I come to visit I will definitely be stopping back in. It was fun watching the younger ones that worked there getting all excited about setting out the Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Charlie's ambience is fun. Rustic, with tin signs for products that spark memories of a time before. The waitstaff was great, and courteous. I ordered the beer battered fish and chips. I was impressed by the sheer amount of food that arrived. Upon first blush the meal looked amazing! I cut open the fish, and took a big bite. It was... Gross... Just seemed off. I pulled the fish from the fried covering, and ate it. It was... ok... willing to give it another chance, I tried the other fish portion. This time I cut it open. To my surprise, and disgust, the entire inside was uncooked beer batter. It smelled strongly of beer, because the alcohol was not burned off, being raw, and all. I called the wait person over, and showed her. I declined another portion. She offered to get t

If ordering to go, definitely check that your order is made correctly. Was so hungry that I didn't realize something is missing on my burger until after eating a good portion of it. Not a drop of guacamole on this thing.

The place is super neat, the staff are amazing, but unfortunately the food is sub par. I was shocked no burgers on the lunch menu. I was craving a great burger for lunch and got the Charlie's classic. Bun was stale and hard, meat was extremely dry with no flavor. I asked for handcut fries, but it was the awful semi breaded fries from a freezer bag. I had hoping for better. This cost 14.04 with water.
