Out of the seven states we visited, this was by far the best restaurant from our recent vacation!!! We fell upon this hidden gem COMPLETELY by accident!!!
My wife ordered the Squid dinner and I ordered the Fisherman’s Platter. The amount of food was more than abundant!!! Everything was perfectly battered, seasoned and fried. Everything on both dishes were phenomenal and WELL worth the price. Shout out to the cooks in back!!!
Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu she was such a lovely and kind person as well.
The atmosphere was welcoming and felt very familiar, as if you were a regular and knew everyone that was dining there and working there.
In conclusion, this not only the best restaurant from our vacation but in the top 5 of any restaurant that I’ve been to in the United States!!! I HIGHLY recommend stopping by this hidden gem!!! 11 out of 10!!!

Steps away from Good Harbor Beach and a short drive to Downtown Gloucester, Charlie’s Place always has great breakfast and lunch! I have never been for dinner! This is a nice place to have fried clams with French fries or onion rings. The service is diner fast. Although the food is terrific, the restaurant has all the hallmarks of a great diner: fast service, great selection, and fast turnover. I loved my fried clam sandwich. I have also had great cheeseburgers here! I had an unbelievably delicious blueberry bread pudding with whipped cream!

Best Haddock Chowder on the island. If your craving fried seafood definitely the place for that. The Arancini are softball size and a meal alone but get there for lunch before they are gone. Great food and have been going there since I was a kid with my grandfather. Been a great spot for over 40yrs. Still kicking. One of the greats in town.

Great little breakfast, lunch and dinner spot. Super reasonably priced, which was a great find for us. Grilled cheese was 3.99, add a bowl of their amazing haddock chowder or the lobster bisque, a great meal all around! Our server was polite, friendly and spot on in her service to our table. Our was busy when we got there, they were just winding down from lunch. Don’t forget to get dessert too, we had blueberry pie, made with those delicious Maine wild blueberries. It’s a great spot not to be missed. Decor was simple, but the place was clean. Give them a try!

We had breakfast at Charlie’s for the first time last week. We’ve been living in Gloucester for a few years now and haven’t tried it but we’ve heard great things. We were immediately seated at around 10 AM on a Saturday morning. We started off with apple juice and a coffee roll, the coffee roll was good, pretty sweet, lots of icing, the roll itself had a nice flavor because it worked well with the icing, but the part without the icing didn’t hold up as well. It was little tough and kind of molasses flavored. For our meals we ordered the Florentine Benedict, strawberry French toast and the chorizo hash omelette (at first.) The spinach on the Florentine Benedict was not the best, it was a bit too watery, this might be due to the blanching process which helps the spinach maintain its color, but I think it could be improved by either adding salt to pull some of the water out or just drying the spinach more thoroughly. The Benedict itself though was fantastic, egg cooked to perfection, great English muffin base, and the hollandaise was more buttery than bitter. Also I think the home fries there may be the best in Gloucester! George’s is nice, but they are cut bigger than they need to be. The French toast with strawberry was great, the strawberrys like soaked into the French toast not making it soggy but saturated, plus whipped cream never hurts, and it didn’t fill me up in one bite. Next was the chorizo hash omelette, it tasted fine to me, and I was enjoying it, but when my girlfriend tried it she was suspicious that their might be beef in it (we don’t eat beef for religious reasons) so we ask one of the servers and she informs us that hash is short for corned beef hash. I had thought it was short for hash browns because the term hash refers to the preparation of chopping something. I don’t blame them for the wording, it’s a common enough shorthand, but it had slipped my mind. We informed our server that we don’t eat beef (at least try not to) and she was super helpful, got us a new meal, which ended up being a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant which was awesome. Plenty of food to fill me up, the croissant was buttery but not to the point of it being an inconvenience, a proper portion of bacon, and all at a good price. They took the chorizo hash omelette off the bill even though we ate like a third of it, which was highly appreciated, and we left the restaurant feeling like we were well taken care of and interested in coming back and trying other dishes there at some point. The restaurant itself was very lively, like you could hear people talking about all sorts of stuff from politics to plans to family life which I didn’t mind, and there was plenty of servers around to help with whatever you may need. I can definitely recommend this place to others, but I need to try it again to see whether there is a meal or two there that will keep me coming back again and again.

Travellers, this place is a solid diner they serves delicious food. There are many classic New England seafood dishes here and several unexpected surprises. The diner is small but has a big menu and lots of specials. There was a wait when we arrived but we got our seats at the counter. Service is with a smile. Clam chowder is delicious and homemade. You can taste the smokiness of the bacon. Thee eggplant Parmesan was delicious and the tomato sauce tasted homemade. It was yummy. The eggplant was fried crispy and it wasn’t too cheesy. The burger was good but a bit over medium rare. The barbecue shrimp was the big taster of the day. It was really good. This was a nice solid lunch stop. Check it out. We recommend.
TLDR – solid diner many choices

When you get those New England cravings for a delicious fish sandwich and chowder, Charlie’s Place is definitely worth the visit.
On a recent trip to the north shore, we were so inspired by the sights and especially the smells of the ocean, we had to find some seafood to satisfy our cravings.
When I called Charlie’s Place to place a pick up order, I was so taken a back by the warm and friendly voice on the other side of the phone. I knew we had made the right choice.
Upon pick up, I noticed the charming and humble diner-esque interior of Charlie’s Place. A few wooden tables and chairs with a a counter packed with local and repeat customers. I wish I had seen the specials board earlier because that crab cake BLT sounded delicious.
We found a nice place to look out on the beach and had a little car picnic.
The fish sandwich was massive and every component (sesame bun, lettuce, cheese and of course, the fried fish) contributed to a comforting, satisfying, and nostalgic experience. Definitely recommend lathering in tartar sauce and a few dabs of hot sauce.
We added the croutons to the chowder and sipped it from the cup. Warm, aquatic, and creamy with plenty of clams and potatoes mixed in. Absolutely delicious.
The fried clams were ok. I wish they included some lemon. We would probably opt to try something else from their menu instead for our next visit.
Overall this was a darling experience for us and definitely worth the visit.

The food here is really good for its price. The lobster tastes alright and the fries are warm and crisp. There’s a generous amount of haddock in the haddock chowder. The blueberry pie is probably one of the best blueberry pies I’ve ever had. Great place, I’m definitely coming back sometime to try the rest of the menu.

I come back to New England for the whole-belly clams, and I may have just had my best ever. Great casual restaurant in one of my favorite places in the world (Cape Ann).
