Burger was very good. Price point is excellent. Service was good and the staff are very nice. It's very small inside with mostly counter seats. Worth the stop for a quick bite.

Charlie's was a dandy little diner we found during our recent trip to Cleveland. The first thing you notice is the very flashy looking exterior of their building which I thought looked awesome. The inside of the building is quite small with limited seating but was very well kept and clean. Their menu consists mainly of breakfast options and hot dog options. I went the hot dog route trying a Chili Dog and one plain with stadium mustard. The stadium mustard was just a dijon variation and was fine. Their chili was excellent with great flavour and just delicious on the dog. The dogs themselves were 100% beef and were the best part as it should be. Great flavour and a nice snap to them they were just stellar. The onion rings I got as a side I would rate as average. The service was pretty darn good for us as well. All in all a very good diner stop for us.

Charlie's is great! My husband and I moved to Old Brooklyn in June 2021 and have been wanting to go here since we did. Charlie's is only a breakfast/lunch spot though so frequently by the time we'd remember they'd be closed.Fast forward to today and we remembered in time to go for lunch.Inside you'll find a small and aged diner with mostly counter seating and a few two-tops squeezed in. The waitress working the counter was quick and friendly - it's clear Charlie's has been her place for years the way she nimbly and efficiently gets orders out and waits on all the customers. My husband got a Chicago dog and a diner dog (which comes with coleslaw and chili). I got the Cleveland dog which comes with Bertmans mustard and chopped onions. We split some fries that were perfectly crispy. The breakfast menu also looked like classic diner food - the kind of greasy spoon you look for. We'll be back for breakfast and lunch soon.

Living in Old Brooklyn for over 11 years I've passed this place a million times. I was really craving a hot dog so I decided it was time to give them a try. Service is friendly but very slow. I wasn't in a hurry so it was not a huge deal. I got a chili dog and fries and it was delicious. I think my portion of fries was a bit skimpy but ahh well. I will definitely call ahead next time when I have another hot dog craving.

Really nice food, great staff in a unique throw back kind of setting. Love the counter seating! Everything was prepared well and taste was terrific.

I come to this place almost once a week but never on a sunday! Today was terrible. I never in my life had bad customer service like today! The lady with the short red hair made me feel so uncomfortable! I ordered soft bacon and egg white. It come out cold ok I'm not mad because it happens . I'm a waitress. So I ask for my food to be made hot. As my food is coming back out the the lady with the red short was very nasty and said "I need to burn the top of my mouth!"I'm happy exited to eat ! I l look down it's raw onion all through my eggs! Im very upset but it will not discourage me from coming to eat with Tammy!! Have a great day!!

I've wondered for the longest time how big the inside of Charlie's Restaurant has been. Back in January this year, I found out! With approximately 12 seats in the diner, your food is served up quick and it's a neat experience! The 2 servers/chefs behind the counter have been running the location of years and they are a gem!

For years I've driven by and even as a kid called it the coke building but this morning I stopped in for breakfast. And I wish I had sooner for sure, very small place 12-15 people max! Coming in here is definitely like stepping back in time, 1 table that I saw and the rest is bar/counter seating. The menu has a nice selection and prices are fair, I ordered the Ashlee burrito and I was very good packed full of all the breakfast essentials lol. Over all great spot I definitely see why they've been there for as long as they have. Oh yeah CASH ONLY.

I really hate to change my review from 5 stars to 1, but we had such a bad experience on the morning of 12/23/2023 I can't ignore it. We called this morning for carryout and asked to order Charlie's Omelette, which is exactly the name of an omelette that is on the menu. The lady on the phone said: "okay are you going to tell me what f****** omelette you want? Or are you people going to f*** with me all day? I'll answer the phone after 30 seconds next time." Literally stunned because it's 8 in the morning and we had the f bomb dropped on us multiple times within 15 seconds of a conversation. My husband actually asked if she was talking to us, thinking maybe she was talking to someone in the restaurant. In which she responded by saying "oh did I throw you off, okay what do you want then?" We responded with, "what? Okay I think we're going to have to pass" and she sarcastically told us to have a nice day and hung up. We know Charlie's isn't the most polished, we've been loyal customers for years and have loved how relaxed the environment is. But common courtesy is different. That was shockingly rude. I will not recommend Charlies to anyone until this staff member is removed.
