The first Charlie’s Chili opened for business on Balboa Island during the summer of 1967 and quickly became a hit. In 1972, we moved from the bay to the Newport Pier, and that’s where we’ve been ever since. Home to the world-famous chili cheese omelet and gorgeous beachfront views, we’re a local landmark and a favorite spot for people from all over. Regulars come in for their weekly bloody Mary fix. Vacationers come to watch surfers ride the waves. Families come in to take advantage of our dog-friendly dining and all-day breakfast. Basically, we offer a little something for everybody. So come hang out with us, and let us treat you to a home-cooked meal served up the SoCal way.
Serving causal Mexican-American eats, this almost-on-the beach spot is popular with beach bums.

We love Charlie’s Chili. We come here EVERY time we go to Newport.
Service and food are always great but today they topped it.
My sister wasn’t feeling well, she ordered the pancakes and just asked if they happened to have peanut butter. They didn’t have it and we moved on, it was no big deal. 5 minutes later the waitress dropped off a little cup of amazing natural peanut butter. It made our day. She was so kind to go out of her way to provide for her and it was exactly what my sister needed to settle her stomach. They are always so kind and friendly, service is always top notch. We love you Charlie’s Chili!!!

Every time we visit Newport, my family and I make it a point to dine at Charlie’s Chili! My boys absolutely love their delicious chowder and sandwiches. The customer service is always excellent, staff are attentive and hardworking. The restaurant is clean inside and out, and we especially enjoy sitting outside to take in the sea breeze. The only downside is that they charge extra for just about everything, including condiments, and fries aren’t included with the meals. That was a bit disappointing. Still, despite that, we always enjoy our experience here and look forward to coming back!

The place and service are always outstanding — warm, friendly, and welcoming as usual. However, the food quality hasn’t really improved much over time. It still feels like something you just eat casually rather than something memorable. I really hope they put a bit more attention into the dishes, even if it means slightly raising the prices. It’s such a charming restaurant that I truly like, but it still feels about 2% short of being perfect. I’d love to see it reach that next level.
We went back this year(2025)with the family for the first time in a while, and just like before, the service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable—everyone loved it. Of course, the food was great, but the friendliness of the staff made it taste even better. I’ll always be happy to open my wallet when I visit.
Cafe near Newport Beach Dori Fish Market. The best restaurant to sit on the street and watch people while enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee and a meal
The food is above average / the prices are very realistic / the staff service is top notch. We had a great brunch here on a weekend morning while walking along the beach with our beloved dog. We go here often.

Ocean breeze, fluffy eggs & French toast dreams
Breakfast at Charlie’s Chili hit the spot!
We sat outside with a view of the ocean and a light breeze that made my coffee taste 20% better (scientifically unproven, but spiritually true).
The scrambled eggs were fluffy and well-seasoned, sausage patties juicy and not too greasy.
But the real MVP? The French toast — crispy edges, soft center, and just enough powdered sugar to make you feel like it’s a cheat day, even if it’s not.
We also got oatmeal with fresh fruit and all the toppings on the side — which felt like a breakfast DIY kit and tasted great.
Service was quick, friendly, and we never felt rushed.
Perfect spot for a chill morning near the pier — I’d come back just for the vibe (and maybe double French toast next time).

The clam chowder is DELICIOUS. It rivals Pismo Beaches Splash Cafe’s famous chowder. The burrito was also really good, large burrito with lots of eggs and potatoes. The service was fast and friendly. Try this place.

Charlie’s Chili in Newport Beach, where their claim to, “Possibly have the best chili omelet in the world,” is written right on the wall outside. It’s the perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy the amazing SoCal weather while enjoying anything on their extensive menu that is sure to make your day bright! This local favorite is a classic Newport destination if you want great food, friendly service, and an amazing view of the pier and ocean!

It’s Charles Chili, a fixture in Newport Beach for a very long time. Once upon a time, they also had a restaurant in Costa Mesa that was only a block from my apartment. I used to spend a lot of time there. I sincerely love this restaurant. I love the food. I love the attitude. I love everybody that works there!!! Honestly, I’ve been going to this place for over 50 years. They have a place in my life and in my heart. And finally, a Charlie’s Chili Cheese omelet with hash browns and a side order of toast is just about the best hangover cure known to mankind. Trust me. I know.
Rock on Charlie’s. Rock on.

Recommended by friends and close to our beach house we tried this for brunch. The chili omelette had so many good ingredients and flavors. It was definitely over the top but in a good way. The French Toast came highly recommended. It has a great crispy crust on the outside with a touch of buttermilk flavor. I think it they are exceptional especially fresh and with warm butter and syrup. They were super friendly and helpful. Great food. Try it for your beach breakfast.

I would highly suggest all families and friends come here for a good bite to eat. Thank you, and God bless Charlie’s Chili Restaurant!
