Charlie Brown’s Pancake & Steak House

Great breakfast spot. It was a business meeting in the first half but we eventually ordered breakfast as well. Enjoyed my pancakes and eggs.I've bookmarked this stop for future visits

Memorabilia only gets you so far.In the first ten minutes, I was sold. Seating arrangements, massive menus, and light blue plastic cups were all indicators of great things to come. All of the diner energy was building quite the formidable foundation. But man, this omelette was begging for some flavor sliders. If an item that's listed first and called "Kiss the Bricks" doesn't hit, what will? I still slammed this mega portion down because, you know, calories, but c'mon Charlie! A little pepper jack or steak marinade would go a long way here.Our waitress, albeit sweet intent, wasn't giving much of a chance for menu marauding. I like to dance my eyes across the options just to liven the mind at such an early hour. Not here. The "I'll give you a couple of minutes" was a timed exercise. Let this be your warning to come ready to rock.I wouldn't return here for brekky, but I can see why a certain contingent would. Crack on!

I've been here three to four times now and I really enjoy it. I was actively looking for a new breakfast spot as the ones by me are just okay. this place has pretty great reviews everywhere and I see why.i place my orders over the phone for takeout. I've only had one "non issue" with someone who wasn't really paying attention and added something extra instead of confirming yes my meal came with it. my food has always been ready when i arrived. one time they wanted to make sure it was my order and right and i actually watched the woman check every box and then put it in a new bag. it was great. i always have enough for two meals or so and it's still tastes good heated up.the food tastes great, obviously. there's usually a nice amount of people sitting inside eating. a bunch of regulars!

There's a reason this place has been around forever. The service is quick and kind, the food is cheap and ample, and there are tons of tasty options. Be patient, as even though there's plenty of seating, this place is hopping. We were lucky to snag the last table when we were there. There was a line of people waiting as we left. There's a lot next to their building for parking.

Add this to your race day experience list! We came in as a party of 9, and the staff didn't bat an eye. The food was GREAT. The service was wonderful - we had a very skilled veteran server who was incredibly efficient and as sweet as can be. The decor inside feels like is barely been touched in the last 30 years which only adds to the charm.I was surprised by the number of fresh items on the menu (fruits and veg items). We'll be back next time we visit the track.

The food quality is excellent! We had great service and a very pleasant, nostalgic atmosphere.

Indianapolis institution. Lots of regulars. Pancake was out of this world. Sausage links were just okay.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. I had the meatloaf sandwich. The loaf was really good however, it was more bits and pieces of meatloaf rather than a slice that I would've been used to growing up. We sat at the counter, which makes you feel like you're in a diner in the 70s. The service was friendly and quick. Even if you're not in for breakfast, food is still top-notch.

Classic - Indy Car Guy? Go here for all the stuff everywhere on the walls. Food was outstanding - the turkey club was thick sliced turkey. Waitress gal brings me my food and apologized she forget the coleslaw and did I want it? NO, this is plenty of food! Tasted great! Then the prices? Like $9.50? Super reasonable I would say. Makes you want to overtip. Love it!Yes, go here, think of those who've been here before you.

For breakfast, food was awful and service not that good Lady that greeted up the upmost on on February 25th 2025. You advertise breakfast someone is not cooking right, did not offer more coffee. Please be consistant lost 3 people as customer sorry racing capital of the world. Lived and enjoyed this area, what has happened. Sorry!
