Went to Charlies for the first time Thursday, May 21, 2009. It was the first of many trips. It was all I was told about and then some. Food quality and quantity is excellent! Service was friendly and fast. An awesome eating experience that easily justified the 45 mile drive. Expect a short wait for seating due to return business but you will be back, just as I will. If you like seafood, you will not believe the Charlie's Platter. It contains enough food for 2 or 3 people. Charlie's is the only out-of-town restaurant I will use in the future.
