This place is awesome! I've never had a steak with cowboy butter but I gave it a try. Looked weird when he brought it out but once melted it was fabulous. I'm really critical of restaurant steaks because I can do better at home for less. However, I had three beers and an amazing ribeye with everything and it was $34.00. Bar is really awesome. Great conversation with locals. Staff was awesome. I'd eat and drink here again for sure.

This is probably the best restaurant in Ridgecrest. Such a hidden gem. Literally hidden in the lobby of the Clarion Hotel. Food is absolutely amazing. Do not miss out on this place. Had the Lasagna and was some of the best I've ever had. Everything is homemade. Great French onion soup. Last time I was here I had Lobster Ravoli that was absolutely amazing also.

I have been working in this city for over 2 years. Clarion has been the place I stay at . Recently, Charlie's has been renovated, and so has a new menu. The dinner selection is a hidden jem in town. Rib eye is great, the new York is great. I always ask for hot wings extra crispy and the nailed it. Drea, Jasmine and Gerardo, were all fantastic for our meal. I do not have anything bad to say about Charlie's.

Had dinner 11/08/2024. Fish and chips are amazing! The salmon dill lemon pasta was really good also, salmon not over cooked. The shrimp on skewer was a little over cooked. Still a great dinner.

Went here for the first time last night and will definitely be back! The salsa is amazing - so fresh and flavorful. They have a good selection of beer and wine and the service is great (full bar also). They will be having live blues music every other Thursday (on flex weekends) and I look forward to checking that out!

I love coming for drinks and apps. Gerardo is the best bartender around, the main reason I go. The dinners are good. If only the fixed the ac, this place would be 100%

Portions are large and food even the children's plates are big I could have fed both my five and four year olds with one plate.

Balanced atmosphere of people not always overcrowded. Observation as a doordasher not a customer, that's stopped in a lot.. Nice light dim lighting pool tables. Big plates served. So you can dine in non sociable or sociable wherever you chose to sit.

I had the fish and shrimp and chips platter, and some of their happy hour shooters. Everything was great, and the bill was much less than I anticipated. Great time out for my birthday. Thanks Charlie's!

I’ve been here twice recently. The service has been outstanding both times. The drinks here are also very good, especially the lemon drop martini. The food leaves a lot to be desired though.They should be absolutely embarrassed to serve French Onion Soup with an unmelted slice of cheese on top like this. 😭They slathered my broccoli in a melted velveeta cheese which I didn’t ask for, but it turned out to be ok. On my second visit I had a burger that was just ok. But the drinks were once again very well-made. The decor is unique, but the lack of music makes for a strangely eerie ambience. The only music is coming from the cooks in the kitchen. They should have music or tv with sports on to add to the atmosphere.

Service was bad its a hit and miss with the food. The waitress barely acknowledged us. I tried something different from the burger which is just a frozen patty from the grocery store and got a tri tip sandwhich. It was one of the only meals ive had that i couldnt finish.

Went here for a evening meal while doing a land tour. We had chicken salad, portion was good enjoyed it. Sadly this spoiled it. I always keep my receipts when useing my credit card aboard so I can check them when I get my statement. Very angry when I checked my statement today as I have been charged $10 more than my receipt states. Shame on you.

Ugh, food was horrible. They need a new cook. If the owners read this your cook needs to go. It was so bad neither of us could eat our entrees.

We gave it a second try but honestly the food is not good. First time I had the fish and chips, ok it was from frozen and breaded but maybe it's a fluke. Came back with my husband and got the potstickers, they could have been good but they were hard and the sauce was too sweet. Then I got the brisket sandwich and it was SO dry, and I doubt it was even brisket it was just shaved beef like the chessesteak except there was no cheese or sauce. My husband got the chicken moterey which he said was fine but he could tell it was frozen. To top it off its not exactly your cheapest option. At the end of the day this is a small town and there are other places to eat that are more worth your money, which is too bad bc the atmosphere was actually pretty nice they could have a great spot if they tried.

Food doesn't look appetizing. Idk if it's because they were closing but I paid $69 for this dinner and there are absolutely No grill marks on these Ribs 😩😔 alfredo pasta had no salt 😐 very bland and I am very disappointed in the food. The ribs looked nothing like the pictures on the menu

Service was really good. The fish and chips were absolutely horrible. The Salsa for the chips was not good. The drinks were almost not drinkable. The shrimp fettuccine alfredo was ok at best. The blue cheese burger was ok. Charlie's used to be good but is definitely not the same restaurant it used to be. I will not be back to dine here.

Street tacos looked delicious from the photos. What I got instead? Tortilla… and meat. No beans. No jalapeños. No pico. Just two street flour tortillas and asada. Got four sides of ranch though??

If I could give negative stars, I would. Charlies was moderately busy, and after waiting about 20 minutes of being ignored we decided to leave. When the waitresses go to every table around us, but won't acknowledge ours past a menu drop off, its time to move on. My money is better spent elsewhere. I haven't been to Charlies in a very long time, and won't be going back. For what its worth we went to another local restaurant, (who was at least as busy) sat down and had our drink order taken in less than 2 minutes. 0 out of 10 would not recommend.

Ordered for the first time and had it delivered. Never have I had a steak not seasoned with anything. At all. The burger was so greasy you couldn't eat it. The side salad was fine but i feel thats hard to mess up. The actual food not so much. And for the price so not worth it. 60$ for 2 people and both meals were bad.

Placed a mobil order, missing food from the order and when I called back they said they "weren't going to deal with it" . Wings were dry, overcooked, and barely any meat on them. Lasagna had undercooked meat inside and I stopped eating it but what little I ate still made me sick, the egg rolls tasted like they were store bought, frozen, and over all bland. The price would be fitting if they had quality, but for what I got absolutely not! Between the missing food, rotten food, and bad attitude, I would be surprised to see this restaurant survive.
