Your typical local small town bar. Nothing fancy, but a friendly, pleasant place to enjoy drinks. Clientele mostly friendly local people. Music on the juke box has a huge selection and sometime local bands or DJ. They have dart contest and food on some nights......??

I continue to be amazed at how perfectly the regatta prepares the fried catfish. i really prefer shrimp & crawfish to fish but they cook the catfish so well i often cant resist & the quantity for price is excellent. the friday all you can eat is a massive plate of perfection, but today i had the luncheon special: 3 fish with waffle fries. beautiful view of the lake out of the windows on a drizzly drip day. this place is great.

Service is always great, the ladies are friendly and sweet! The atmosphere is comfortable and the place is always very clean and food is awesome! Their crabmeat augratin is BOMB!!! Also their onion rings are actually homemade and sooo good!! Fried shrimp and fish are on point as well! They have reasonable priced daily lunch specials too!

Wonderful view and nice choice of seafood dishes and cocktails. Known for their steaks. Watch for seasonal specials.

Took a poll on a local food page looking for the best seafood platter. Charlie's got the most mentions. So we decided to ride out to see for ourselves. In one of the mentions we were told the onion rings and the stuffed mushrooms were good. This was the best looking plate of onion rings I had seen in a while. Piled up, fresh cut and battered rings of greatness. As far as the stuffed mushrooms, they were big and the sauce on them were delicious. Order came with 4 but only one was left for the pic. Definitely try these mushrooms. We got a #2 seafood platter and a Charlie's seafood platter. The catfish tasted so clean. The shrimp was big and fresh. Not those frozen popcorn shrimp. All seafood is cooked in peanut oil. Both platters came with more than enough of everything to eat. You will be taking to-go boxes. Also got the seafood pasta. Looked really good, but was a big disappointment. This item was the only thing not great. Our waitress, Amber I believe, took great care of us. We will definitely be back here next time we want seafood.

Beautiful day to ride the river to the restaurant. The outdoor patio has a beautiful view of the lake. The food and service was excellent. Our server Katelyn was very attentive to our needs.

Was really disappointed tonight when we went for grandsons birthday. The 2 steaks had no flavor,the shrimp & corn soup tasted tart, the cheese stick appetizers had something that looked like mold in some of them, salads were good as usual but they are hard to mess up, and my seafood platter took a while to get. Everyone was almost through eating by the time I got it and brought most of it home with me. Might be a while before we go back. We usually have anywhere from 10 to 20 when we come. Sure hope food gets better like we are used to getting when we go there to eat. Might be the reason they were not as busy as normal on a Friday night. Marie

I have had people telling me to try this place for 2 years. Finally we decided to do it. I can tell you all you need to know pretty quickly. Let's start with the steaks. Not quality meat. Mine was also not cooked as ordered. It also had absolutely no taste at all. I just didn't eat it, brought it home, seasoned it, and recooked it myself. No one should have to do that. The seafood was not bad. You get a decent amount for your money. Which I believe is why folks recommend this place. The salad was probably the best thing we had. It was fresh and tasty. The "melted butter" that we got for our baked potatoes was some sort of artificial, thick, weird yellow substance. No idea what it was, but it wasn't butter. It was just strange. I will admit, the service was good. That the salad, and the edible seafood earned them the 3 stars above. Final thoughts: I don't think we'll be returning and honestly I don't think this place was worth a visit.

This is a lovely restaurant on the water but we ordered take-out due to COVID. The order was mixed up and I didn't realize it until we got it back to our Airbnb. I called and the manager provided a generous gift certificate which we used the next night. The entrees were delicious; we had shrimp & corn grits; fried fish with crawfish etoufee; flounder with a crabmeat topping.
