One of our family's favorite restaurants. <br> Menu has a very wide selection of items. While it features some greek food I wouldn't call it a Greek restaurant because it contains so many American and breakfast items. <br> Some items are surprisingly good. I always get the green beans side dish. It costs the same as other sides but is made by Charlies' staff. I also like the small salads and the fish and chips meals. My wife likes one of the stir frys. We all like the cheesecake. <br> With one exception, we've always found the service staff to be responsive. We haven't gone when we are in a hurry; if they've been a bit slow we haven't noticed. <br> Charlie owns several restaurants but visits this one regularly--maybe the others as well. If you see an older guy bussing tables tell him to be sure to keep the green beans on the menu. That would probably be Charlie. He apparently knows his money is made in the dining rooms of his restaurants rather than in some office somewhere. less
