Wherever you go, Charley's always delivers that same consistent yummy taste as well as solid customer service.
I suppose some folks especially if they grew up in PA may not agree with the taste as far as authenticity but for a chain, they seem to do pretty well.
My father who was born & raised in Eastern PA actually says Charley's has a decent sandwich. There are literally at least a couple of thousand places in PA alone to get a cheesesteak and doesn't necessarily have to be in Philly for a good one.
He grew up favoring cheesesteaks with just the red sauce & onions but out here it seems difficult to find a venue that will make it that way and also many places tend to use soft bread when it should be a bit on the hard side such as a hoagie roll.

I was just looking at the menu and he kept yelling at me to order with the cashier. When other customers stopped at the same spot I was he greeted them nicely. I for sure will never ever visit Charlie’s location at the hawthorn mall in Vernonhills again. He needs some customer service training especially having a business. I rated 1 star but it’s in my view zero stars. My money is worth the same as other...
