“Stopped in Williamston on our way to Chicago and so glad we did! We were greeted as soon as we arrived & our waitress Heather couldn’t have been any nicer! Hubby had their Italian sausage & eggs and I had scrambled eggs with hash browns, nothing fancy, but everything was VERY TASTY and came to the table piping hot. I asked for one of their famous cinnamon rolls to go so I could enjoy it later. We were served fast, the food excellent and the employees were very nice. If you’re ever on I-96 near Williamston make sure you stop by!“

The staff was easy to work with, accommodating various requests, offering restaurant decorations and attentive during the entire event. Not only was the staff a pleasure to work with, the food was outstanding! We will host another bridal shower as soon as we have another engagement in the family!“

“Visited last nite for the first time. Met friends who came over from Laingsburg and we came from Lansing. My hubby loves gizzards. They were the first thing he saw on the menu. Thats all he needed to see. They were excellent. I had the southwest eggrolls. Loved em. We will be a more regular customer. Its a short drive and worth every mile. The service was excellent as well.“

“I want to thank Terry at the Okemos, MI store for saving our family Christmas! I got there ten minutes after the store closed and I was devastated. I got on my phone to check their hours. To my surprise, someone answered the phone! When he found out I was in the parking lot, Terry came and let me in so that I could buy the ham for our party. He had to turn the lights on and reopen the register, but was nothing but friendly and cheerful! Many employees wouldn't have even answered the phone, but Terry went above and beyond. Thank you for making our family party meal a success! (By the way, the ham was absolutely delicious!)“

“Was here on a Friday night. The waitress told me to go ahead and seat myself. I was looking for the bathroom and she seen I was looking lost and was like the ladies room is right over here.... Brienna was exceptional and she is a GEM! Charlie's is lucky to have her! You don't see a ton of great customer service anymore but she was a delight from start to finish! I asked to speak with the manager to tell him how great my experience was a he was great too!“

I am so glad that this place is open following the COVID pandemic. You can also be here alone while eating and, in the meantime, reading a book or magazine.“

“Dinner rolls and butter followed by Blackened Salmon Bites w a nice perfectly spicy, Mango dip.
I thought I took a picture of my Perch Basket! Cole slaw, house made tartar sauce, 5 or 6 really beautiful fresh fried perch, 2 hush puppies and slaw.
My DIL got chicken and mashed potatoes! They were fluffy and white and again, real gravy.“

“Our server, Abby, was amazing. She made the experience. The food was great. Portions were actually way too big, but we have another meal now with our left overs. I would definitely recommend Chili’s in Okemos and ask for Abby. And no, we are not her family nor have we met her before. Thanks Abby!!!“
