Charlie Blood's Reviews
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,
I must say, this place was truly amazing!! We stopped in for dinner in between my sons soccer games at GHS.
The food was on point and the service at the bar today was amazing. The entire staff was a delight and this place is truly a gem!!!!!!
Must try if in the area!!!
Wonderful decorated space with OUTSTANDING service throughout. The food, however, didn’t quite stand out for me, it could have used a bit more seasoning (salt) in the pizza, or more options like garlic or red pepper flakes to enhance it.
For the vodka cranberry, I was surprised to receive a can with a cup of ice rather than a freshly mixed drink. On the positive side, the complimentary bread service with oregano, pepper, oil, and butter was a nice touch.

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.
