Charlie’s Seafood – 4.1 / 5 Stars

What Stands Out

Generous, well-seasoned portions – The Large Seafood Plate (two catfish + 10 shrimp with salad, bread & choice of fries or fried rice) comes in around $13 and consistently satisfies .

Signature egg rolls and popcorn shrimp – Egg rolls are frequently praised as “best I’ve had in the area so far” , and popcorn shrimp plates boast a 96% thumbs-up rating .

Speed & friendliness – Customers rave about fast, courteous drive-thru service and a clean, casual dining area .

Wide menu variety – From classic fried fish plates, shrimp burgers, shrimp fried rice, lo mein, to chicken tenders and burgers, they cover both seafood and Asian-inspired comfort .

Where It Can Slip

Spice inconsistency – Some orders, even when marked mild, arrive overly spicy, and seasoning can vary meal to meal .

Quality dips occasionally – A few customers cited dry chicken tenders and soggy fries or stale poboys during off-days .

Not a fine-dining setup – It's primarily take-out with limited dine-in; service can slow during peak times, and mistakes happen—though they’re usually made right .

Best Bets

Large Seafood Plate – For value and flavor.

Egg Rolls – A standout “local favorite.”

Popcorn Shrimp Plate – High thumbs-up rating and dependable crowd-pleaser.

Lo Mein – A tasty detour if you want something beyond fried sea fare.

Final Take

Charlie’s Seafood is a solid go-to for hearty, affordable gulf-style seafood with friendly service and speedy takeout. It shines brightest for value-conscious eaters craving classic fried seafood or even lo mein. Just be aware of slight inconsistencies in spice and quality during busy times.

Rating 4/ 5 — dependable, flavorful, and unbeatable for the price, but occasional seasoning swings and service hiccups prevent a.

Normally I don't have a problem with going to get food from this restaurant but today the chicken was dry, no season and they changed me $4 for extra sauce and I did not get it. 30 chicken tenders needs more than 12 say sauce's. 😔 I'm feeding a family of 11.

Food is too spicy. Although I asked for no seasoning, my food was still very spicy. A waste of money. Not everyone likes spicy food.

Kid-friendliness: Food is really spicy. I would not suggest feeding it to children.

Absolutely ridiculous I ordered AHEAD and still am waiting 30 minutes later. I even waited to pick up an extra few minutes before even leaving my house and my order still was not ready. Certainly don't get if you're in a hurry.

1 ordered 3 5 piece wing plates with fried rice but didn’t get the fried rice but received fries on all 3 plates. Plus the wings were very small and dry. I am not pleased at all after spending 26 dollars plus taxes and delivery

I just picked up some eggs rolls today 9/21/. 24. and normally it is freshly fried upon order . No wonder my order came out so quick . The Chinese guy didn’t greet me . Took my card and said Ty . It definitely was sitting for sometime . The egg rolls were to chuy and I had to take the stuffing out to eat the best part of them . Please don’t send out eggs rolls unless it’s freshly fried . Is that want you would appreciate?
