Charley's Waterfront Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing venue right along the river. Sat inside because it was cold but the view was great! They had lunch specials which were delicious. Service was great and even enjoyed their local IPA's. Highly recommend!!
Highly recommend! Delicious food, wonderful service! Atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and relaxing!
Visited Charley's for the first time and was very happy while eating my Reuben and onion rings. They both were awesome. Tried the cheese crab dip with fresh bread and it was awesome also. My husband had a crab cake sandwich and it was awesome too! The only problem I had was the restaurant water and after trying a Sprite which wasn't good, I had a sparkling water and that solved my problem. It was awesome too. Great job, everyone! AWESOME! Taylor was our server and guess what? She was awesome too! We would love to visit again!!!!
Charlie's provides a nice ambiance on its deck listening to the river. The service was great efficient, pleasant, and attentive. The pimento cheese burger was a favorite of my husbands. He said it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I had the snapper with a salad and soup. sIt was at least an 8oz portion of fish and very thick. The taste was meaty with a slight citrus taste from the lemon butter. Overall this was a great experience! Only negative - the rice was bland and seemed like a holder compared to the rest of the meal. Sub that out if you eat at Charlie's
Longwood alum '05. Was sadly in town for a funeral. Came here bc my Uber aka sister has celiac. They are rated safe on the gluten free apps! She wanted a bbq sandwich but thankfully they were able to tell her the sauce had gluten in it. So she got a burger instead and enjoyed. My niece enjoyed her GF pasta I don't have a stomach and I got a kids meal. It was meh. I got chicken fingers bc I remembered these really yummy chicken fingers from back in the day. They either changed them or use the cheap crap for the kids menu. So that's on me not them. Ambiance always nice. Service always good. Them especially since they were so good looking out for my celiac sister. Obviously this is my favorite FarmVille restaurant so I'll be back.
Grabbed lunch today with wife, son, and college mates for move in day. Great atmosphere and plenty of places to sit. Waitstaff were pleasant and were knowledgeable about options for gluten free choices. We had some burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, crab cake, Rueben, fries, and a French onion soup. Burgers were thick and cooked well, fries were crisp, and the soup was tasty and a great presentation. Crab cakes were ok, but not my favorite. Still would go back again as I want a pimento burger and check out the wine cellar!
We enjoyed sitting on the patio on a gorgeous afternoon. The French onion soup was excellent and the French dip was good as well. Our server was attentive and helpful. This was our second visit and we enjoyed it both times.
Came here with a a larger than usual wedding party with a dedicated room to house all of us!! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! They were very patient and kind through the whole process! The food was served hot and delicious! They had a couple of different salads and was perfect! The meats was cooked to perfection!! The dessert afterwards was a perfect ending to a wonderful evening! I hope to be back again soon when I'm in Farmville again someday soon! From my first experience here I highly recommend this place!
I love the fact that this place has live music! And you can eat outside and enjoy the weather! I try to come here every so often because the food is good and it's a nice place to hang out and relax. Our waitress is very friendly and quick, and so is our food! Of course, you can't really mess up a salad or burgers. Drinks are good and again our waitress is super fast in making sure they are not empty! Very nice restaurant! We'll be back soon!
