Charlie's Creole Kitchen was the place to be for a casual meeting tonight. The fried green tomatoes and boudin balls were top-notch, and the crab claws and bacon-wrapped shrimp were stellar. Owner Jim Hickey's hospitality stood out—he spent over an hour chatting with us and he greeted every guest that walked by. It's clear he values his regulars. And there are a lot of regulars!
The atmosphere, service and food delivers on on every level. A solid choice for anyone craving...read full review

If you might need to use restroom during visit do not choose this establishment. Had a security guard preventing paying customers from using restrooms and directing us to “port a potty’s out back”. Port a potty’s were in parking lot behind the bar next door. After ordering drinks and an app we tabbed out. There are plenty of good restaurants in this area. Don’t waste your time or money in this place that doesn’t appreciate you or your business.

Me and my husband came here on the 27th in the evening after a long day for the first time. The food was amazing but the service was poor He didn't get his refill or tartar sauce til he was finished with his food. The young waitress was helping everyone. The older one didn't greet us or check on us. I would not recommend. We came from Wylie and was very disappointed.
