What our guests are saying
This place is awesome! I've gone here three times, and the food is great every time, hot and fresh! Good customer service, and the food is greatly priced!
Sir Valentine the 1st
My colleagues and I frequent Charlie D's quite often for lunch. However, this time, things were different. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner of Charlie D's. He was such a gentleman and very pleasant. He even offered us a free fountain drink to go with our 5 meals. The young lady who served my colleague and me was personable and professional. Great food, clean establishment, safe place to go.

This place is delicious! They also do an extraordinary job of preparing to-go orders. Most fish places don't do this properly causing your food to get soggy! I love when I get my order home and it's still fresh and crispy.
