Horrible food. (the absolute worst) wait time was rediculous, staff was nice, safe was cool, should have just stayed home can't believe we spent that much for burnt, wet and soggy absolutely disgusting food that wasn't even what it was supposed to be. I would have been fired. I'm kind of outraged how bad it was and the disappointment. Especially after traveling to check it out. Won't be going there any time soon again. We could have saved a ton of money on what we ordered if we just made it at home too. Would have been way better. Super overpriced. Do they forget we all shop? My wife is still trying not to puke it up on the way home. Many may think this is an over exaggerated comment but this is by far the worst place that we have ever ate at. It's horrible!! Some of their food was like food was sitting for hrs and they just tossed it in a microwave. We try to be nice and we were to their faces... Instead of saying how we truly felt but it needs to be said. It was nasty.
Pay what u stole from my mother bj
Stealing from a widow is just wrong BJ.

Heading home from fishing at Moosehead and wanted to try small business food for lunch. I found Charlie's and called at 10:54am to order a deluxe burger & fry to go. IJust getting in the place was interesting. The place is small but very nice with some obvious cool history!Two young females working the front. I paid the blonde girl and she said they just turned on the frier so it'll be a few minutes (I never mind waiting, plus I got there earlier than expected). The blonde goes out back leaving the red haired girl out front. Being the first time there I immediately noticed they weren't trained very well in the social aspect of the service industry, but, they were young, so...The blonde comes out and hands me my container of food without offering napkins or asking if I'd like any sides (like ketchup) for my fries or burger so I asked her for those things. My bill was just over $15 for food and a couple bucks for a soda. I did leave about $6 for a tip as I always tip even if it's take-out.As I leave I noticed it's quite difficult to navigate the front two doors as each has handles on the opposite side and not much room between the doors. I couldn't imagine trying to carry alot of food out. Not sure how long this place has been in business but the front doors should have been corrected immediately!Then, I drive away and try a couple fries. It's obvious the cook didn't wait for the friet oil to get heated up before dropping the fries! Soggy and disgusting! I ordered the burger "medium" and tasted ok at first, but after a few bites I realized the meat wasn't cooked inside. So, for about $21 the A&W Rootbeer was the best part of my meal. I ate 4 fries and 3 bites of the burger.After my first impression I recommend not offering food until the equipment is ready to cook, or have staff turn on a little earlier. Also, the two young hosts/servers/bartenders need ALOT if training in service industry! They seemed pleasant enough but were clearly green as far as service industry/ customer service.I doubt I'll be back.Thanks

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and great food. What more could you ask for? Plus a bonus is they have an old safe you're allowed to go into from like the late 1800's I believe.

Quiet spacious pleasant downtown fast service friendly

Very friendly staff, the food is hand prepped and has a great homemade taste. One of the few places that you can go in and walk into an old bank vault.

Hello, this is a must on your list when in the area. I have been visiting the area the last 2 months and I have been here at least 8 times. The food is great and the resturant itself is so cool. It is an old bank from the 1800's. Most of the orginal decor is still in place including the bank vaults. Its awesome. I appreciate the staff they were great. Thanks for all you do and keep it up!

I really enjoyed their onion rings! my cheeseburger was great ,my husband wasn't impressed with the beans and hot dogs
Stopped in on our way through Maine. Breakfast was very good. Service was also good. It doesn't look like much on the outside but the inside was very historical which made the experience different from other places.

We happened upon this place and the food was delicious!! The inside of the building was so cool. The vaults, ceilings and woodwork are so interesting. We like old buildings and stuff. The staff was amazing and the food was great!!

Excellent service, incredible food, we had breakfast, but restaurant/bar has all day-night specials, including drink/happy hour specials!

I love Charlie's. I have only been there a couple of times, but their food has always been delicious. Plus everyone is always so nice and pleasant.
