This has been a favorite of ours for more than 40 years! Ownership has probably changed over the years but the quality of food and service is always excellent.

Nice servers, older crowd, good food, a bit pricy (what isn't nowadays), but worth a visit to see if it's a spot you'd like.
Early bird dinner was delicious!
Charly Brown's Restaurant used to be good, back in the day now not so much. It definitely a senior restaurant and their portions reflect that. We ordered clams casino and we were shocked. The clams were the size of a quarter and there was barely the tip of a teaspoon in it. I totally understand the food prices have gone up however for $15.95 it was a total rip off. I dont know how they can serve that with having a good reputation. They charged us a $3.00 dollar up charge for romaine lettuce for the side salad that was skimpy too. I will never be back again.
I ordered the prime rib from the “Special of the Day” menu. Our waitress cautioned me that it may come medium to well done. What was served to me was a paper thin slice of meat that was well done three days ago! Not only was the so-called meat overdone, but it had an odd taste to it like very old meat. I never had a chance to send it back since the waitress avoided any eye contact with me even after it was obvious that I wasn’t eating the meal by placing my knife and fork across my plate. When my plate was finally removed and I had the opportunity to complain, the waitress informed me that she would remove the dinner from my bill. I had to chuckle when I realized that she did remove the entree from my bill but charged me for the salad that came with the meal. All in all, not a stellar evening.
A fun place with great atmosphere. Good salads and dressing. Veal Parm was a bit dry and needed more sauce, but the server was not available. Dining companions had Monday special Chicken and Biscuits which they devoured with gusto.
Always outstanding
This is an amazing restaurant it's quiet it's kind of dark if you need a date night or you just want to go in and sit at the bar and have a nice quiet dinner this is the place that you want to be the food is incredible from what I understand most of it is homemade and it's just you got to stop and try it please I love doing me nights here now.

They need to season there food, dessert was the only tasty thing
While the location isn't the most upscale from the outside, Charley Brown's has done a very impressive job making the interior feel very upscale. The service is solid and waitstaff are courteous. Unfortunately though, the food seems to be aimed exclusively at the aged clientele with offensively bland, unseasoned food. For the prices charged, I was appalled by how tasteless my steak, potatoes, and soup were. The same can be said for my wife's food, also incredibly bland. Neither of our steaks had any semblance of a crust, and it was clear, the usage of salt, pepper, or any other seasoning was heavily rationed in the kitchen. All in all, this place would be absolutely lovely if they made food with actual flavor, instead of charging over $100 for a couples' dinner's worth of unseasoned ingredients.
