What People Are Saying About Charlie's Kitchen

The Scene – While Charlie's has more of a diner setting on the ground floor, it's got a dive-like bar on the upper level. Sit yourself down at the second floor's curvaceous bar or one of several tables, or sneak your small group of friends into one of the high-backed booths for cozier and somewhat private conversation. Guests here are regulars--a mix of college students, tattooed women, blue-collar workers and a slew of mid-20-to-30-something plaid-shirt types. – – The Food – Charlie's has a wealth of ales from domestic to imported; try a thick and creamy Murphy's…

Great food, So, So service
by RomyIzzy at Citysearch
The food here is GREAT and the prices are good too. Try the steak tips, they are EXCELLENT. They have a pretty good variety so everyone could find something. The only problem was the service, it was pretty slow and very hard to get refills.
- Pros: FOOD, PRICE
- Cons: SERVICE

Good beer, Good music
by switchercad3 at Citysearch
Good beer and a very very good music selection are the main draws for us to Charlie's Kitchen. The waitstaff is charmingly unenthusiastic, but I guess that's just part of the experience. The food is nothing to write home about...typical bar food...just beware that if you order a grilled cheese and other people order burgers, there's a good chance that your sandwich will be fairly chilly when it gets to the table. My only real objection is that last time we were there, they were playing a discovery channel TV show at the bar that was pretty much just animals mauling and eating each other. The guy friends I was with thought it was entertaining, but watching entrails being strewn about didn't help my appetite at all.

I wish I had their jukebox in my apartment
by redelephant at Citysearch
The upstairs is by far my favorite place to grab a drink, eat cheap greasy food, and listen to Jawbreaker or New Order blasting from the jukebox.
- Pros: Jukebox, beer, patrons
- Cons: Visiting always makes me really want a tattoo
