Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe

I wasn't sure what to expect based on the mixed Yelp reviews, but found Charlie's to take me back my childhood, eating in diners with my dad and watching the tv in the corner while the local news aired. It's a very tidy diner with stools at the bar and a few tables in the dining room. The kitchen and prep area was extremely clean and I watched the guys in the kitchen wipe down everything after each plate was ready. I ordered the basic b 2-egg breakfast with eggs scrambled, bacon, grits, and toast. I savored the grits which were nicely salted and buttery. I then slathered my rye toast with butter and orange marmalade which transported me to meals around the family table. The food and service was very good, not looking for any Michelin stars, but believes in what they serve.

Came here for breakfast. Ordered the traditional eggs beny, a side of cornbeef hash, and toast. Everything was good. The cornbeef hash was better than the one I tried yesterday so that was a plus. Service was attentive, efficient and welcoming. Definitely would come back...maybe at lunch to try some of the sandwiches

This is a hidden gem in middle of the south end. Ignoring the noise of the posher or expensive surrounding restaurants, this retro diner is a refreshing break. Despite its name, they serve more than just sandwiches. They have all the diner classics making it a great spot for brunch. The wait isn't too bad. You go inside and put your name down with the number of people in your party, then wait for them call your name. We waited not more than 15 mins on a Sunday afternoon.The turkey hash was vaguely curry tasting which was unexpected but tasty! The buttermilk biscuits and gravy sausages were good, but could've used way more meat and flavor. The biscuits were great though. The eggs Florentine are a classic for a reason, they always hit.These prices are phenomenal as well. The staff is efficient and attentive despite being so busy in the small square foot area.

Mediocre diner-style restaurant. We came on a Sunday and were surprised that there were open tables and no line, but it was nice to be seated immediately because we expected a wait based on the reviews. Our waitress was pleasant but the food was pretty mediocre. One person ordered the Norwegian omelette special, which seems to have been the best item ordered even though there was an entire slice of unmelted cheese sticking out. The breakfast burrito was ok, pretty bland flavors. The home-fries looked undercooked. Another person ordered the hangover burger and didn't have much to say about it. They have "chicken finger and waffles" and "buttermilk chicken with biscuits and gravy" so I asked if I could order the buttermilk chicken on a waffle. The waitress had to check with the kitchen, who agreed to make it "because it was slow." It was essentially a breaded chicken cutlet, sliced into strips on a waffle that looked like a DIY hotel continental breakfast one. Truly bizarre. Everything had the same colorless look. Random, but it is disappointing to see so many single use condiments (butter packs, Philadelphia cream cheese pack, creamer pack, little cups of capers, salsa, etc., lots of wasted plastic. Can't say we're rushing to come back.

I'm from California visiting my son in Boston, he told me about a spot around the corner from him Charlie's. It did not disappoint. The place was small and cozy. Charlie's is no joke, with a full bar, counter seating and tables it was perfect. As we walked in I noticed a board with the days specials,haddock sandwich or fish n chips, we both opted for the haddock sandwich, it was accompanied by fries, a small cup of coleslaw. The sandwich was served on a Brioche bun w lettuce, tomato mayo along w homemade tater sauce. Simply amazing.You can't go wrong here..

Neat little old-school diner. Sat at the counter and had challah French toast and eggs.

Food was great, but the service was awful, and our waitress was incredibly rude and unwelcoming

Great for breakfast. Prices are reasonable and the staff is great. We visited twice during the week so it was busy but not ridiculously crowded.

old Charlie's food was great. Charlie's now , anyone can throw food up on the grill but to cook with love and purpose is different. I'm officially done. I'll go over to Mikes Diner, or cook myself. people just don't care anymore. it's just a job. Anyentrepreneur's out there who want to start a breakfast place, that care about the quality of food and how they make it let me know. I would love to market it

Amazing turkey hash! The best ever! I can't wait to go back next time I am in Boston.
