Local spot with such a good vibe - family run. Not many places left like this and soon will be extinct. Good food - the burger with bourbon onions - oh my gosh!!! Hidden gem here! You feel so welcome the moment you arrive. Not accustomed to this today…. Hurry and enjoy before all these places are gone
Stopped in for a couple drinks. The place is filled with photos and memorabilia. Had a great time looking at all the stuff. We didn't eat but the food looked amazing. Can't wait to go back and have dinner.
I cant’t believe i missed this place after many years of traveling to north jersey, place is definitely a must try, the service was wonderful they make you feel welcome,

Charlie Blood's is a restaurant that offers exceptional value and a welcoming atmosphere, making it feel like a cozy dive bar. The staff, who are like family, provide accommodating and friendly service, giving guests the feeling of dining at a cousin's home. When entering, visitors are taken through the kitchen to a hidden dining room filled with memorabilia, creating a unique experience. The environment is cozy, with 80's/90's country music playing, adding to the homey feeling in the dining room. The restaurant is impressively clean, with no dust or cobwebs on the antiques adorning the walls.
The menu features a variety of dishes, including the excellent Buffalo Wings, the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm, and Eggplant Rollantini), and the 16oz Sizzling Steak, which is cooked to perfection and a great bargain. Many guests have praised the steak, noting it is perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The baked clams are massive, and the garlic clams in buttery garlic sauce are a favorite, with some mentioning they could drink it with a spoon.
Charlie Blood's also offers craft brews and delicious desserts like the Chocolate Mousse Cake and Cheesecake. It is a place that feels like a throwback to a time when restaurants were community gathering spots. The owner and chef often greet guests, making everyone feel like family, and even have a fun scavenger hunt for kids. With friendly staff and a charming atmosphere, Charlie Blood's is a must-visit institution in Garfield, New Jersey, where the community can rely on it as a respite from the day. Note: Charlie Blood's is a cash-only establishment, but they have an ATM on site.
