Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe

Cool Historic Flavor

by pineapplegirl at Citysearch

Charlie's has a great old Boston flavor. You do feel like you are stepping back in time when you come in and sit down at the counter. The breakfasts are hearty and a decent value. At lunch the French fries are great. I've always found the burgers to be good, but nothing exceptional. You might be better off with a sandwich. Somethings I don't like about Charlie's is that it's hard to get a seat sometimes unless you're willing to sit with strangers, they don't take credit cards, and they all their sodas and juices come in cans and bottles, not from a fountain, so no free refills. Waitstaff is always top notch, however.

• Pros: atmosphere
• Cons: no credit cards, crowded, no refills

Best Breakfast

by jolbs33 at Citysearch

Let's put it this way.........this is the best breakfast in Boston, if not anywhere. The atmosphere is great, its like stepping back in time, they way things were (the way they should be). Great menu with all types of breakfast and lunch options. The service is great, the cooks and waitresses are all friendly and fast. Prices are respectable with the portions served. The Turkey Hash is Charlie's trademark, its awesome. If you are in Boston and looking for a great breakfast, this is the best spot in town.......PERIOD!

• Pros: Best Breakfast, Great Service, Great Atmosphere
• Cons: Closes at 2 p.m., Closed on Sundays

Hash at it's best!

by holystone at Citysearch

Dates back to at least the 1950,s

with few if any changes.

Charlie's, really has the best homemade hash I have ever had and the pancakes are also wonderful! All sizes of tables so you never know if you will sit alone or meet some new people, also has a counter. There is always a newspaper lying around encase you get bored!

Don't complain they will throw you out.

Dress any way!

• Pros: The best hash and egg, original 1950"s decor, Sit with who ever!
• Cons: Wait for seat!
