This is a wonderful little restaurant! The food is delicious, and the service is outstanding. We noticed they were quite busy on a Sunday at noon. They only serve breakfast on Sundays, but it's fantastic! We would love to visit TJ Charlie's on a weekday sometime!

Terrible experience! The decor is stuck in the 90s, the tables are wobbly, and the water jugs are stained yellow. The carpet is filthy, too.

It was interesting and quite tasty. As previous reviews have pointed out, the restaurant is a bit outdated, but that doesn't stop the locals from supporting it. Addressing the broken window on the front door and updating the carpet or flooring would be great first steps towards enhancing the overall ambiance. Although we were too full for...

I ordered a Western omelette, along with a side of American fries and bacon. The American fries weren't exactly what I had in mind; I expected them to be crispy roasted potato chunks, but they turned out to be thin slices that were mostly crispy from being fried on a griddle. I think they would benefit from some heartier, chunky home fries. The omelette was flavorful, although it was just slightly undercooked in a few spots, with the egg whites not being fully firm. I chose Swiss cheese for my omelette, and it complemented the dish nicely. If I could suggest one enhancement to elevate the meal even further, a tangy hollandaise sauce would be a fantastic addition. Without a doubt, the high... View menu
