We stopped by Charlie’s on a total whim after church and wow, what a happy accident. Across the board, 5 stars! The food was so good it was genuinely hard to decide what to order, and somehow we still made all the right choices because everything was fantastic. Not a single disappointment. On top of

Great place. Very popular. We got there early. Good thing. People started pouring in. Our food was delicious.

Went today and had the hot crab roll. Hands down the best seafood sandwich I’ve ever had. If you’re in the mood for a lobster roll forget about it! Go to Charlie’s and get the crab roll!

Delicious food, great service. The big chair out front is perfect for photos. We had the wings and prime rib- both were SO GOOD.
