The classic diner breakfast spot that I am glad is in the Phillips Sunbeam area! Portions are big. I have to ask for a Togo box every time. They offer great value at this mom and pop shop.

Vera, Bailey, and Missy take real good care of you. Service is quick and they are always in a good mood. Prices are reasonable and coffee is fresh and hot. Place is kept clean. Very nice locally owned and operated business.

This diner feels like a step back to simpler times. Homemade food is comforting, atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is great. Perfect spot for a classic diner experience

Really great food and friendly staff. The chicken tenders are hand breaded and delicious!

If your looking for a delicious family owned business to try out then you need to stop in Charlie’s diner! I’m a sucker for corn nuggets and these did not disappoint. I got a bacon egg and cheese pita and the eggs were cooked to perfection. They took the small diner feel and captured it perfectly with the atmosphere and everyone inside. 10/10 would stop in again. Plenty of parking and fresh made food with quick friendly service.

Had basic eggs, grits, toast, and corned beef hash. The coffee was good. The over-medium eggs were cooked perfectly. The corned beef hash was crispy. A large portion of grits, cooked properly and maybe had some extra butter? A very little salt and pepper and they were better than average. Nice quality seeded, marbled rye. I appreciated that. A lot of places have unseeded, bland rye.

This was our first visit to Charlie’s Diner. The food was delicious. The server, Baylee is very friendly, helpful, and took very good care of us! We will be back 😊

I ordered through DoorDash and my food was amazing! Fresh hot, very homemade comfort food. I was shocked at how much for the price as well. Definitely looking forward to bringing the family in person to have breakfast! As the lunch was amazing!

Like Luke’s Diner meets Ted Lasso’s charm—warm, charming, and full of heart. We stumbled into this nostalgic gem on a recent trip to Jacksonville, and it felt like stepping into a scene from a cozy, favorite TV show. Think black-and-white checkered floors, vintage Coke bottles, and the kind of genuine hospitality that’s become far too rare. It had been a while since my husband and I have visited a true American diner, so we didn’t hold back—we got the omelette, biscuits and gravy, cheeseburger, and their creamy mac & cheese. Every bite was comfort food done right mixed with small-town warmth. In a world where polished chain restaurants are the norm, this mom-and-pop spot was a throwback dream. We’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in town!

Had an amazing lunch today. This place has been on my list to try for a while. Charlie's Diner has old-school diner vibes with a checkerboard floor, red table tops, counter service, and a menu that is exactly what you'd expect.  The staff is very friendly and attentive. There are a lot of options on the menu, but I knew I came for the fried pork chops and fried squash, so I ordered those with a side of rice and gravy. I'll start with my favorite, the fried yellow squash. This is something you don't often find in restaurants.  Pieces were thick and huge. The batter was perfect and nicely seasoned. It did NOT even need the side of ranch that came with it. It was perfection. The pork chops were fried in the same batter as the squash. They were were tender and juicy on the inside and made my day.  Rice and gravy were just what you'd expect from an old school diner.  Really loved the gravy.  This whole meal was just comfort food and reminded me of long ago family dinners. All in all, I'll be adding Charlie's Diner to my regular rotation. It's a taste of home and I loved everything about it.
