Charlie's Chicken

Here at Charlie's Chicken in FTG isn't that bad. You're at better luck with calling ahead to see what their buffet times are, which I did. On Wednesdays you should try out their chicken and dumplings. You can get your dumplings worth their on Wednesday at the buffet. They offer a full course buffet: salad, mains, chicken, sides which are variable; desserts -hot cobblers and or ice cream. This is a kiddo and large family hangout for meals whether lunch or dinner. Not too bad. Just keep clean with a new plate or bowl. Self serve drinks. Tips are accepted at the counter!!! Enjoy!

Best Charlie's chicken IMO... great buffet! Friendly staff and owners. Absolutely love their lemon cake. Around the holidays, I order their family holiday dinners. Dressing, potatoes with giblet gravy, green beans, rolls, and a dessert. You can even get a smoked Turkey. Call in a week advance.

The buffet chicken was dry and old. Even after my husband was all done they brought out fresh chicken so he grabbed one just to have a good piece and it was dry and hard. He spit it out. Mash potatoes were to watery and the salad bar only had SHREDDED LETTUCE for a salad. Very disappointed.

Yowza! It felt like February- the buffet was full and open to our surprise and delight. My inaugural visit to a Charlie's and, can I say- Yowza! Delicious entrees and the chocolate sheet cake was still warm! We kayaked down the Tahlequah river and then rewarded our efforts with a carb overload! Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

Still the best Charlie's around! Chicken chunks are always perfect. Hasn't changed much since we first ate there 25 years ago.

Family (Grandparents w/2 grandkids ages 4&5 yr) came at the odd hour of 3:30 PM on a Saturday and had the buffet. Saturday's we were told, do not acknowledge senior discounts which would have been fine if the food was worth it. 1) the food was 'old' and appeared to have been sitting there since the lunch crowd. The cheese toppings (alfredo I think it was) was waxed over and thick and chunky from not being stirred or fresh, same for the gravy, baked beans. All had a waxed like coating from sitting so long. And the warmer didn't keep the food warm! 2) Fried chicken was almost burned. DARK brown like it was fried in old grease or simply left in the fryer too long. The meat was dry, dry, dry, and cold (back to the warmers not warming)3) Even the rolls had burned (black) bottoms, crust was hard and the middle bread had collapsed. Like there was no bread in them. 4) the chipped brisket (I think that was what it was) was just cold and nasty. Can't even figure out what they did to it to make it taste so bad.Used to go out of the way to visit this place, didn't mind the $increase, but this will probably be our last visit as the food was just bad. Don't know what has happened for it to go so far downhill.

First time customer, I ordered a 3pc mixed chicken meal. upon entering I was greeted and I asked how it works as I could see there was a buffet line etc. the portions for the price were reasonable and the quality of the food was good. while eating the employees made runs to check on customers and make sure everything was going well. it felt like a family style restaurant and not quite a chain restaurant. overall a good experience.you can pay for a buffet or order a special meal from the menu. they also have a drive through.

The buffet food was cold. Not even lukewarm, cold cold. Best thing my husband and I had was the salad ‍

Very clean and delicious food! Great people!I'm never disappointed. The buffet is always clean and stocked.

The chicken was good but extremely salty not sure what to say about the service but they did get our food fast
