Our Story

Where Comfort Meets Flavor

Our Beginning

Our Beginning

We started Charlie D’s Seafood and Chicken to share my love for fresh, hearty meals with our community. What began as a small kitchen serving family and friends grew into three locations: 600 East 99th Street, 5111 Ararat Drive in Kansas City, and 12323 E US HWY 40 in Independence. Our goal has always been simple: good food, made with care, that everyone can enjoy and feel at home eating.
Fresh Ingredients, Every Time

Fresh Ingredients, Every Time

At Charlie D’s, fresh ingredients are the heart of our menu. Every day, we prepare our Basa, Channel Catfish, and Cod to ensure top quality. Our Fried Chicken and Catfish Po'Boy Sandwiches are crafted with the same care. By focusing on flavor and freshness, we create meals that bring comfort and satisfaction. This commitment to quality is why locals keep returning for every meal.
