on Citysearch Aug 22, 2008I heard that Charlie's was supposed to have great hamburgers and man was I disappointed. The place is a true hamburger shack which was cool, but their burgers are as small as White Castle but cost three times as much,... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 16, 2008I've been going to Charlie's since I was a little girl. It's not meant to impress by being a large, fancy restaurant and for those of you who don't get that, maybe you are better off going to some chain restaurant... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 15, 2007I do NOT understand why everyone loves Charlie's so much. Maybe it's just one of those things where one person says it's a great place, then another person agrees and it's just something that becomes accepted by... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 11, 2006My parents went to Charlie's before I was born, then as an incentive for me when I got my toncils out they told me as soon as I got better we could go to Charlie's! As I dated my soon to be husband and we went to Charlie's... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 01, 2006$12 bucks for 3 of the thinnest burgers ever and 2 decent-ish milkshakes? Any diner can make a similar meal. Sorry - I was not that impressed - they must have a cult following that has never buttered & toasted their own... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 07, 2005While the Burgers and milkshakes are to die for, parking is a hassle and they aren't lying when they say burger "shack" The place looks like it's falling apart. I recommend grabbing a couple cheeseburgers and a black... (more)
