Not the same Charlie's I grew up with. I know the new owners gave it a shot, but it's hard to top Teresa and Michelle. I think if the new owners want to make it work, they have to leave the menu and recipes the same, and they need to stay open. The random open/close schedule during the week was a big disappointment. You're either open or you're not. The new owners changed too much of a good thing and that's unfortunate. Charlie's was an icon. Don't fix it if it isn't broke.
Charlie's was fantastic! They even make their own root beer. Great service, great food!
Charlie's in Wood river is such a huge disappointment. After what I waitressed......I won't be returning. I couldn't believe my eyes. I seen staff treat this Pacific drive up (car) like complete garbage. Once I had received my food I had simply ask how long they've been waiting because it was before us. Her reply was they will be "waiting forever"...... They had made that car wait over an HR and they still NEVER RECEIVED THEIR FOOD. The car ended up driving off!!! A day or two passes I seen that same person at family dollar so I had to ask......they never received their food because her son was with her. The owners relation was two of the staff and they "had problems" with this 'son'. My reply was "you was discriminated against because of someone your son knows?" I just couldn't believe a place of business would act in this manner until I seen it from my own eyes. It shouldn't matter who you're related to or who you have problems with when it comes to a place of business it's simply that a place of business. People talk around Wood River and honestly I didn't want to believe that Charlie's had gone downhill. But I definitely know the original owner would have never stood for this. If all the small businesses in Wood River didn't associate with people because of them simply knowing them from the past no one would have any business. Wood River is a small town we shouldn't be treating like this. 😡😡😡😡🙏
