My most favorite restaurant! The specials are exceptionally well priced and yummy to boot. French onion soup, can’t find it anywhere like this nor the wedge, can’t wait for the reopening.
Great steak sandwich. My friend's meal came in a small cast iron pot and was still hot even 20 minutes later. Local atmosphere. Bartender works to stay as attentive to everyone's needs as he can. Would recommend.
The ribeye was wonderful. Great quality and preparation. Tender, juicy, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The brava sauce on the potatoes was a nice surprise. My girlfriend had an off the menu special which was a sturgeon filet with asparagus and au gratin potatoes which she loved. The bartender Morrison was also a delight to talk to. We will definitely be back.
We stopped here for dinner and couldn't have been happier. The decor and atmosphere are very coastal - lots of brightly colored art and bamboo used in the bar. The staff was friendly and the food was fantastic. The chowder was incredible, and the Salmon Club Sandwich was full of flavor. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you enjoy seafood and are in Astoria.
A wonderful undiscovered gem. Excellent food! Great retro atmosphere. I had a great blackened salmon with some of the best potatoes augratin I've ever had. My wife had an amazing savory mushroom chicken. For a starter we had pate and and spicy grilled shrimp. A great place to have a great meal.
My husband and I have traveled all over the nation as well as internationally and everywhere we go we eat at different places, even ones listed on TV shows. Even though it is two years since our visit we talk about Charlies as the best place we ever ate! Phenomenal food, the unbelievable service and a laid back atmosphere. We recommend it often as somewhere to go and we wanted you to know that we are now in Pennsylvania and still talk about what an awesome experience it was! All hail the chef and we will get back West and go again someday!
Didn't try the steak, but the steamer clams were some of the best I've had on the coast! Other appetizers were good as well. Service was a little off, but not so much that we wouldn't go again.
Decor is thrift store meets cabin in the woods. Nice homey comfortable feel. Brussel sprouts are amazing, coming from a girl that doesn't really like Brussels sprouts. Our server was quirky and fun. I would recommend this place for reasonably priced dinner. Steaks were cooked to perfection.
Great food and beautiful blooming onion.
We took the 5 kids on our mini vacation. It was amazing. Both my hubby and I had the BEST grilled cheese sandwiches we have EVER had. The kids loved it. It was affordable. They were very nice there. I wish I could go back. I crave their grilled cheese all the time.
Charlie's is one of my new favorites in Astoria. Took a chance on a new place and I was not disappointed. Many restaurants advertise "artisan burgers" but Charlie's actually delivers a superb burger. I also ordered a margarita and it was the best ones I'd had in some time. Fantastic!
Genuinely good steaks, like really good. Well cooked to order, well seasoned, uniquely flavored, but not over the top. Has the price to match it though. Service is nothing to write home about, but they're working on it. Foodwise one of the best restaurants in Astoria.
If you want local then this is the place. We come a from a small town and felt right at home. The decor is what makes the place unique and homie. Are you there for the decor or the food? DEFINITELY THE FOOD! We got the clam chowder and 3 cheese grilled cheese and the cheese burger and fries. It was delicious! Charlie was the chef and I'm assuming the owner! He his fantastic at what he does! Thank you for great lunch!!!
The food is absolutely delectable.. Don't be discouraged by the obscure tacky decor.. This is one of Astoria's greatest gourmet dining establishments.. The meat preparation and consistency will rival the finest New Zealand beef.. Beet salad is a 10... customer service was exquisite.. Locals and travelers please visit this establishment! You will not be disappointed.
I am in town for work and decided to try this place out. I ordered the steak sandwich and it absolutely blew my mind. Every element of the meal was packed with flavor and exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely return next time I am in Astoria.
The 8oz steak was delicious the apricot mustard sauce on the pork was not the best the mustard over powered the sauce not good I would have loved to have had more apricot ruined the pork pickled veggies were great pork was under cooked. Macaroni and potatoes were the bomb.
the music was depressing
I was lured in by the decor, fireplace, paintings, cozy environment. It was a nice place to hang out for a little while. The menu looks great, but I didn't eat this time. Looking forward to going back in for dinner.
