Charlie's Restaurant — Restaurant in Louisiana

Great food!! This was my first visit at this restaurant. The 2nd waitress assigned to serve my table had no problem bringing me a hot sweet tea, a hot bowl of gumbo and she and other wait staff were excellent in their service with my extended order of numerous other items I wanted to bring home to feed my two adult sons, whom of which I called home to tell them how great the quality of the food was that I experiencing. One of my son's is disabled and has various health conditions and food allergies, and the 2nd waitress and other staff members executed getting all the special requests of my family's orders exactly as needed. HATS OFF TO MY 2ND WAITRESS AND OTHERS THAT HELPED HER, AS WELL AS, TO THE COOKS, KITCHEN STAFF AND TO THE OWNER'S AT CHARLIE'S RESTAURANT!!! Once home, my family truly did enjoy their food and we all had plenty more of it to save for lunch tomorrow. YUM, YUM!!! I tipped the 2nd waitress a well-deserved $22.00 tip for our family's almost $90.00 order. SHE EARNED A DESERVING TIP!😃😃😃😃😃😃

• UPDATE: * I called the restaurant today and spoke to their manager about my first-time experience dining there yesterday and I'm so glad I did make that call. Their manager was absolutely 100% professional and he actually does care about the PATRONS that dine there. I'm thankful for all the GREAT FOOD, and to all the staff and everyone that works there. I am looking forward to dining there again....

Went there today I order chicken gumbo ,when it came to the table all I seen was broth ,you would think who ever put it in the bowl would notice are even waitress ,I did a search looking and after several passes ran across a piece of chicken the size of the my pinky fingernail I searched n found 2 more smaller no sausage no meat just little rice n broth a can of chicken noodle soup would have had more meat ,and you would think the waitress who seen me set it to the side notice I wasn't eating it my husband wouldn't let me complain because his grilled fish was fine he did tell lady at checkout there was barely any meat and she asked how it tasted ,good if I ordered just broth which I didn't eat n left there mad at them and my husband for paying for something I didn't eat ,I would never serve my guest that n call it gumbo it was broth n rice , all I can say is don't order the chicken n rice gumbo n they need to have everyone double check what comes out r change gumbo to just broth n rice ,the cook was wrong ,the waitress n cashier for not noticing that the bowl was full of broth it was...

Opinions are divided on this one. Charlie's is a popular, local, hole-in-the-wall restaurant with crooked tables and the prerequisite basket of crackers and margarine on every table. Our server was friendly as all get out, and she did a great job taking care of us. We ordered their new appetizer, the Spicy Cajun Eggrolls (not pictured), and they were amazing. The salads that came with our food were stingy on lettuce, they had maybe 1 cup of lettuce on each plate, but the housemade ranch dressing was tasty. I ordered the small catfish and oyster dinner, and my fiancé ordered the 10 oz ribeye dinner. Both meals came with fries and grilled bread, both of which were good. My seafood was utterly fabulous. It was fresh, perfectly cooked, and lightly but well seasoned. The ribeye was not so good.
