Stopped by Charlie Don’t Surf for a casual drink and had a nice experience overall. The location is unbeatable — right across from the beach with a fantastic view, especially around sunset.
Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the pricing was reasonable for the area. I had a cocktail that was just okay — a little on the watery side — but the Guinness was nice and cold (though I wish there was a bit less foam).
All in all, a solid spot to relax by the water. Would come back for the atmosphere and maybe try something else from the drink menu next time.

Great food, great location, great price!
No time waiting to get a seat even though they were busy! The atmosphere from the other diners was great, everyone enjoying the amazing food on offer.
We went for the famous fish and chips, jumbalia and dynamite shrimp. Wow!
Thanks to all the staff for making it a pleasurable experience! We will be back one day!!

Food not worth the price.. Service was very good..but food was found wanting. Fish and chips was tonnes of batter little fish inside...

Worst fish & chips I think I've actually ever had. I'm pretty sure it's cheap, frozen, freezer burnt cod. Even after being remade, it was barely edible. Fries are certainly far from anything special, yet their menu claims world famous fish and chips, maybe world famous for how bad it is. The West Coast Boullibasse was also a big disappointment, all seafood inside, including the mussels were rubber, as if they'd been sitting, cooking all day. They forgot the coleslaw with the fish and chips and the children's fish and chips order had more fries than ours and almost the exact same amount of fish, just served in one piece instead of two smaller ones. Service was slow, especially when the place was emtied out at the end and we sat for some 15-20 minutes wanting to leave before we could pay. We certainly won't be back.

Fish and chips weren’t anything special. Not the best I’ve had that’s for sure. Fries were a bit dry

Clam chowder and fish & chips were very good! Service was great as well

This place is magical, I use to spend time at home on weekends but since I came here I keep coming here, good food, good service and awesome view.

Grave was so awesome. Best server I’ve had at the beach. Usually an OB guy but can confidently say I’ll be switching to Charlie’s from now on!! Can’t wait to come back.

My daughter and her friend (12 yrs old) Went in for lunch and were completely ignored for 40 minutes. They decided to leave because nobody served or acknowledged them. Other people showing after them were receiving service and food. From now on we refer to the establishment to “ Charlie don’t serve”

We were beyond satisfied with the service "Neil" Thank you very much for making our first visit very happy. We dropped by after watching the lights so most people were leaving while we walked in. Love the place, love the food and the service. Nice patio even this season. So definitely see you again
