The food is absolutely delicious. Great vibes at the restaurant and our service was perfect. We highly recommend Charlie's !

Loved this place - great decor and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We had apps for dinner - shrimp cocktail, hummus (yum presentation) and house salad. Perfect. The salad was a selection of leafy crunchy greens and toppings in a really tasty vinaigrette. Hummus featured lots of add ins - olives, feta, chopped tomatoes and onions, and lots of fresh pita. Highly recommend. Check out the "Charlies" on the wall. Enjoy!

This was first time visiting this restaurant. Ive been living in the Bronx for about 2 years now and this is probably one of the best restaurants here! All 5 stars on the ambiance/vibes/music, food/drink presentation and of course taste and service! Me and my friend came for happy hour with $8 margs, we're so pleased and will definitely be back for their brunch.

Diamond, the bartender, provided great service as soon as we entered the restaurant. We ordered wings and a caramelized onion omelet with gruyier cheese. And a side of crispy bacon. Everything was good! Relaxing and no stress restaurant! Second time here! I will be back!

We were a large party of 8 that came to eat! The location was convenient after coming from a rage room session across the street. We arrived right at dinner time and were greeted by the host. It looks smaller than it seems when you enter but there is also a back space. The bar space is pretty small though and the atmosphere is very chilled. Our waitress arrived with water and took our drink order first. We ordered a few things from the drink menu, including the Bronx berry mule, which was Delicious!! The mussels we ordered also had good flavor, the sauce really made the mussels pop. I had the harvest burger which was a deconstructed veggie burger with quinoa as a base. It was surprisingly delicious and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to my fellow peers, I also tried the lamb burger, sweet potato fries and the garlic fries. I have no complaints, they made sure you tasted the garlic in the garlic fries and the meal was packed with flavor. You can order regular fries, if you choose to. I wanted to give this place a 5 but our server left without notifying there would be a switch. Our new waiter was attentive. It did take a while to receive our meal and our appetizer came out with the meal. Overall, this place is a nice corner gem. I would definitely come back to try more of the drinks and experience brunch.

I stopped by Charlie's Bar and Kitchen just for a drink after a long day on Fri 2/9/24 and was overall pleased with my short experience. Ambiance: The restaurant is dark with candles at each table and light sconces along the expose brick wall. The decor reminded me of a 1930's jazz club. Old school R&B serenaded me as I de-stressed. I love how laid back the vibe is- you can come in with jeans and sneakers and still feel welcomed. Service: When I first arrived, I stood at the front awkwardly. Since it's a small space everyone can see when someone walks in, including the waitress. She walked past me a few times and never said "give me one second" or acknowledged me. After about 7 minutes, I went to the bartender and asked if I can seat myself or do I have to wait to be seated. He explains the waitress will seat me in a few. After a few more minutes of watching her walk past me, she showed me to my table which was near the bar. From there, the waitress was sweet as a peach so I just deduced the long wait to her being preoccupied. She kept checking on me and was very nice. Since this is a small spot, I recommend being patient and making a reservation. Drink: I ordered the Paloma which has a tequila and a grapefruit base. It was pretty, well blended and strong. I actually ended up ordering a 2nd one. You can tell they really put effort into the art of mixology. While I wasn't hungry, I seen someone at another table order the fried chicken dinner and it smelled and looked delicious. I can't wait to come back and try their food and I'll be sure to keep you all updated on how that goes!

My friend recently went here and recommended we go for brunch. Such a good recommend. You walk in and you're welcomed by the smell of the food, the place is warm but the smell of the food makes you feel warm inside. We were greeted and seated at a low top table (that's what we requested). The brunch menu has a nice mix of southern food as well as brunch staples. I ordered the pancakes stack with a side of bacon. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles. After reviewing the menu she noticed it was a cheddar waffle. I finished my entire plate and wish I got a photo. The pancake stack as good but Inwish it wa a bit thicker and fluffier. They were on the brim of kinda being flat pancakes but doesn't take away that they were god. The bacon was on point. It was not greasy, cooked to perfection and crispy but not too crispy. My friend liked her waffles. She said the cheddar didn't add a major difference for the waffles or standout. The chicken as good but she did think it needed more salt. I got the flowing brunch drink option, you can interchange the drinks out but I stuck with the mimosa. The waitress was attentive and kept it filled up. Overall would definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

Loved the live music during the Sunday Brunch, the service was excellent, it's in a great location, and the food was good. To eat we ordered the chicken and waffles, the chicken Benny, the shakshuka, the three eggs with toast and the pancakes with a side of bacon. We ordered the 90 minute flowing mimosas, and got a few affogatos for dessert (vanilla ice cream, espresso and Kahlua). The shakshuka was outstanding. Great flavor and first time I ever had a dish like this! I would order this again. I do wish they had jelly for my toast, but minor miss. The gravy on the biscuits, that came with the Chicken Benny, was very tasty and the biscuit was homemade. The serving sizes were quite generous. The waitresses and team of folks there would come through often for refills on the brunch drinks (Mimosa, Bellini, Screwdriver or Grey Hounds for $22 for 90 minutes), as opposed to some places where you have to send fire signals to get another drink. The food did take a bit long to come to the table but with drinks flowing, conversation going, and a little patience, the wait was worth it. Everyone was working hard, and it was quite busy so the wait was understandable. Diamond was our server and she was so pleasant and welcoming. She was attentive and thoughtful in her service, from the refills, to the details of the order. She didn't seem annoyed if ever we asked for anything and checked on us frequently. She was training a new waitress, and was so patient with her and that was nice to see. Abby was the hostess and was gracious and hospitable; she was able to accommodate my reservation change from four people to five without issue, which was appreciated. Everyone was friendly. Above all, the music was lovely, which is what I was really there for. Live music is so inviting and groovy and it's so great to provide entertainment over a meal and drinks. The set started around 1:45 and the talent was remarkable. The music set the vibe and everything else worked around it. The band encouraged crowd requests for tips and I loved that! It was like our own personal concert. The bathroom could use some updating but was clean, which is all one can hope for. My family and I will be back. Thank you for the hospitality and good energy. Nice to find a new restaurant that hits the mark.

Brunch on Sunday! Popped in on a Sunday early afternoon without a reservation. We were immediately seated but I noticed most tables were being held for reservation. On Sundays there's a live jazz band making for a very enjoyable brunch. Our waitress was the same person that seated us. She was playing two roles, and quite well for the entire time I was there! The menu is accessible via QR code. For my meal I went with the shrimp and grits. My BF originally wanted the chicken sandwich until our waitress explained it's no longer as described on the menu. Essentially the brunch chicken sandwich has been replaced with the dinner chicken sandwich. Removing everything described on the brunch version (no egg, coleslaw or aioli). That wasn't appetizing to him so instead he had the pancake stack with 3 eggs scrambled on the side. My shrimp and grits were sooooo good. The grits were full of flavor with pieces of sausage mixed in. His pancakes were on the smaller side but he said they were good. Charlie's is a great restaurant! Good service, food and vibes.
