Charley's Restaurant — Restaurant in Albemarle

May 01, 2025, Nice remodeling. Brand new table tops & vinyl booths. Floors were much cleaner. Multiple great specials. Service was OK, for a Thursday 5pm. Fresh cooked fries, but were very soggy in the middle, hard inedible ends, and had lots of nasty black spots.

March 2025. I thought I would try to come in here again it's been 10 months the place is even filthier than it was 10 months ago like the last post says I guess I'm done eating here it's not gotten any cleaner you would think in 10 months you guys could clean , scrub the floors and the walls, reupholster the seats it's just filthy..... it doesn't look like you cleaned anything but the tops of the tables. Have you guys not heard of a mop and a bucket and Clorox to clean the walls and the floors. You shouldn't have to be told to clean your restaurant from top to bottom at the end of every shift. I mean, paint chipping off the ceiling. The air conditioning vents in the ceiling are so dusty and crusty that dust bunnies are falling off the ceiling on to people as they were walking past. No one wants to come in and eat in a filthy place. But the place is always packed. It's just disgusting. And can you just imagine how filthy the places we can see are what the places you can't see look like.

May 2024 review.....This place is dirty, filthy, and falling apart. Booth seats are torn down to the springs, plain raggedy. The floor and walls need to be scrubbed. Tables are so uneven that the drinks almost slid off tables. I love the food, but until this restaurant gets some upgrades and cleaned, there are plenty of cleaner...

The food is good. But the only problem I do have is seeing cooks with no gloves on when cooking food. Not saying any of the cooks are nasty but I don't know where you put your hands. I don't know if your touching your hair or face or any other part of your body. Health department requires (in our restaurant) you to wash your hands any time you touch your face hair or any part of your body exposed. They also require you to wear gloves when messing with food and to wash your hands after each use of taking and putting on gloves. Just a note for you to take into consideration. And to anyone that says do you wear gloves when you cook at home.... U.mm no because its MY food and MY home not a...

This review has nothing to do with the food which is great. However we made a 25 minute drive because both Google and their website say they are open today and there was nothing saying anything about being closed on Facebook. When we get there they have a closed sign on the door. How hard is it to post something telling your customers you will be closed. It’s disappointing because we loved this place the last time but my wife and I were pretty upset driving that far for nothing. There were two other upset customers in the parking lot that had no idea they would be closed either. I can see they posted on Facebook recently but I don’t understand why say nothing about being closed...
