Charles in La Plata, Maryland is a great spot for anyone craving a hearty, freshly made sub. The restaurant offers a solid variety of options, but my personal go-to is always the Chicken Philly with light onions — it’s flavorful, well-seasoned, and consistently satisfying. The combination of tender chicken, melted cheese, and soft, warm bread makes it a reliable favorite every time I visit.
When I stopped by, it was during a slower time of day, which worked in my favor because the service was fast, friendly, and efficient. My order was prepared quickly and came out hot and fresh, exactly how I like it. The staff seemed attentive and focused, which made the entire experience smooth and pleasant.
Parking at this location is generally decent, but it’s worth noting that the lot can get a bit crowded at times. Since there’s a Dunkin’ Donuts right next door with a drive-through, traffic can occasionally back up or make parking a little tight during busier hours. Still, it’s a convenient setup overall and easy enough to navigate.
The food itself was excellent — everything tasted fresh, the ingredients were clearly good quality, and the portions were generous for the price. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, dinner, or just a quick bite, Charles is a dependable choice for a satisfying sub. I would absolutely recommend this location to anyone in the La Plata area looking for a well-made sandwich and quick, courteous service.

This place has decent food, but they always mess up my drink. The first time I ordered online they did me the displeasure of filling up half my cup with ice. So the second time, to avoid that I ordered light ice. So what did they do? They gave me a cup of what tasted like tap water, mixed with root beer. It was suspiciously light colored as well. I suspect they mixed my soda with water. I’m attaching photos as proof. This place is gross honestly, and that tap water soda made my stomach upset. I understand that running a business is costly and sometimes cuts must be made. But it should never come at the expense of paying customers who expect good quality food. It’s a shame because I like this franchise, but the owners of this one are willing to ruin the quality to save a few bucks. So personally, I’d avoid it altogether. Because who knows what else they’re doing to cut costs at expense of sanitation.

This place has really slid. Used to love getting food from Charleys. Today I ordered boneless wings and fries for delivery. The food was drenched in grease – completely soaking the box and bag. The grease was puddled in the containers. The wings were so dark and overdone they could crack a tooth. Not very appetizing. Take some pride in your work, people.

Review of Charlie’s Cheesesteak & Wings
I recently had the chance to visit Charlie’s Cheesesteak & Wings at their new location on 50 Drury Dr. in La Plata, Maryland, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The buzz around this place is palpable, and it’s easy to see why it’s already a popular spot. The staff were friendly and eager to help, which made the atmosphere welcoming.
Since they just opened, it’s understandable that they are still in the training phase. There was a bit of a wait for our orders, and I appreciate the challenges that come with launching a new restaurant location. I do think it would be beneficial for management to designate a staff member to keep the entrance and windows clean, as well as create a specific area for to-go orders. At times, it felt overwhelming with to-go customers and delivery drivers from Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Instacart crowding around while we were dining.
That said, the management was attentive and addressed our concerns promptly, which was reassuring. The food quality was on point! I tried both the beef and chicken cheesesteaks, and they were delicious. The fries, seasoned with Old Bay and a splash of malted vinegar, were a perfect complement.
I’m excited to have Charlie’s in town, especially since it’s already a hit in other locations. I look forward to returning once they iron out some details. If they can improve the speed of service, my next review could very well be a home run!

The food is always hot and phenomenal. There is a difference in quality and taste between locations. The one in LA Plata is the absolute best. Custer service is top-notch. I highly recommend

Misha is extremely rude. I stopped by for a quick bite to eat with my child. I repeated the order multiple times, but unfortunately it was messed up when we received. Mistakes sometimes happen between placing the order and it reaching the kitchen properly. I was trying to be understanding, Misha immediately starting arguing and trying to cover up her mistake at the register. I don’t understand why she was so angry. She must make mistakes often and didn’t want the kitchen staff upset at her. Make the trip to the Waldorf location.
