THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! I was craving something sweet and salty, and somehow ended up with both of these absolutely magical plates. The portions were huge, fresh, and super healthy—yet another reason I’m so glad I chose this place!
The service was fantastic, the staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the entire place was spotless and very clean, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

Fri morning breakfast. Greeted with happy smile. Not busy, seated promptly. Nice breakfast choices. Waitress was very delightful and helpful. We ordered eggs Benedict and avocado toast. The coffee was very fresh and smooth. The atmosphere was family oriented with plenty of kid friendly choices. The food was perfect, reminded us of home cook quality. Great stop for breakfast.

This restaurant offers great food, but I wish they had more options that don’t include pork. Over half of the menu features pork, so if you’re a pork lover, this is the place for you. The staff is great, providing fast service and a clean atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, and the servings are generous. It’s located in the heart of Galena.

Probably the best out to eat breakfast I’ve ever had!
The meat lovers skillet was phenomenal. Order it with the gravy, and you won’t find another breakfast that is better. Pancakes were g
Nia, our server was incredible. We didn’t have to ask for anything. Our coffees were always full, water was brought over at the perfect time.

The is yet another breakfast place in this same establishment of many over the years, and IMO the best. FOOD QUALITY… The food was absolutely amazing! My son had the berry waffles and could not believe how great they were. They used a strawberry sauce that really added to the flavor. Steak skillet was fantastic, with the steak being decent quality. I got the meat lovers skillet and it fortunately included vegetables as well. All ingredients tasted high quality and fresh. You also had the option of regular hash browns in the skillet or cubed red potatoes. The bacon was cooked well, thick cut and fresh. I had the pancakes as well. The pancakes were huge! …a solid dinner plate size and light, fluffy, and flavorful. Berries were huge and fresh. They also have a tasty light fluffy butter to use on the pancakes and waffles that was amazing. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed, which is something I always remembered about this restaurant regardless of owners. SERVICE… I usually don’t have an above average experience on service but this place was over the top. We were immediately greeted and they were very friendly and polite. They constantly made sure we were not in need of anything, constantly kept coffee cups full, and it truly felt like they cared about our experience in their restaurant. I cannot say enough good things about this. Probably the best service I’ve seen in a restaurant in many years! ENVIRONMENT… it was basically one large room, but nicely put together with nice framed murals of Galena and such. The tables were modern and classy. Bathrooms were 2 single locking rooms which i always appreciate. The exterior is simple, nothing really impressive to speak about there. THE BAD… although minor, there are some negative things I should mention. As other reviews had mentioned, it’s a little loud, with it being basically one large room. Price was a little expensive for breakfast at around $10-$20. Skillets were $16-$20, a plate of two pancakes with a side was $15. This is basically in line with the area though, and the food quality and experience makes it reasonable IMO. They had some garbage cans outside the front door likely waiting for pickup. This produced an unpleasant smell as you approach the entry door. They should move those or hide them behind a fence or something. Parking can be a challenge during peak times like summer, but not a huge deal breaker for me. OVERALL… fantastic experience for my family and we’ll definitely be back. I highly recommend!!!!!

Charlie’s never disappoints! When we plan a spur of the moment trip, we head to Charlie’s for the food. Then shop around in Galena.
Great place, service and family owned place to eat. Check it out!!!

Absolutely love this restaurant! I have been here several times, twice with my parents. My mom and I are gluten-free, and they have many delicious items on their menu we can eat without worry! The owners frequently work the front of the house. They’re wonderful people and were so kind to my 87 year-old Dad, who would have talked to them for hours if we hadn’t pulled him away, lol! I usually get one of their skillets, or something with their potatoes or hashbrowns. Delicious! My dad loves their soups. If you’re in Galena, please plan for breakfast or lunch here!
