First time coming here. The food was delicious! I ordered the burger with a side of french fries and my sister ordered pasta with red sauce which came with a side salad. The atmosphere was very nice and so was the service. I would definitely come here again. If you have a large party, I’d suggest calling ahead and making a reservation as the restaurant is small and fills up fast!

We came out to celebrate my Birthday yesterday, 7/7/23. I had never been to this restaurant before. I wanted lobster for my birthday dinner, and my boyfriend suggested we try this place out. We called ahead to make sure they had lobster. When my dinner arrived, the lobster was over cooked. It was super tough to chew, so I informed our server. She took my lobster tail back to the kitchen and returned a few minutes later to inform the cook REFUSED to make me another. She said he’d make me something else on the menu???????? I declined and was very upset, but didn’t want to make a scene. Our server could tell this was unacceptable. She apologized, and offered me a drink on the house. Then a few minutes later she came back and informed me the cook was going to make me another lobster tail after all. At first I wouldn’t accept it because I was completely Mortified that a restaurant would treat their guests this way. Our server insisted so I just took it “to-go” …. I will NEVER EVER return to this restaurant again. A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!

We enjoyed Charlie Brown’s from the minute we walked in the door! There is a warm at home atmosphere. The host and bartender was polite and made great cocktails. We chose our table and our server Beth was wonderful! Great menu and excellent food. I highly recommend you visit for a nice relaxing dinner!

Love the atmosphere and food! We took home 2 breaded fish fries. One of the best that I’ve ever had, and that was takeout! We actually didn’t touch one, so the following night I warmed it up in the oven, and even a day old it was great! Also, you can’t go there without ordering the Whiskey Scallops appetizer. Always amazingly delicious!!

Expansive and delicious looking menu. I got the chicken french which came with a split pea soup, both of which were fabulous. Don’t let the outside fool you, it’s delicious perfect Italian food for a great valued price! Highly recommend going; will be going back hopefully semi regularly.

My wife and I drove up to Rochester from Ithaca to surprise our daughter for her birthday back in February. We were not familiar with the restaurant options available to us, so we made our choice by Google reviews and the website’s pictures using Maps. We were NOT disappointed. We got the perfect table to surprise our daughter and her partner. The food was fantastic. The service was equally fantastic. Our waitress was there when we needed her and not when we didn’t. I’m still not sure how she did that, but she did, and she was very good at it. The surprise and dinner were a complete success. I highly recommend Charley Browns and would like to thank the servers, management, staff, and owners.

Service was good, restaurant itself is nice, kinda small but it’s nice. The food….it LOOKS great, but my food tonight was NOT great. Looks we’re very much deceiving in this case. That’s not to say that the food was bad. The chicken parmesan I ordered was very flat. What I mean by that is that it had almost 0 taste. Not sure what happened but I just didnt taste anything. Very weird because you’d figure the sauce would have some taste, but very little if any. Completely confused to be honest. My fiancee said her food was fine but not anything special as well. Overall, TL;DR service was good, food was OK, no taste in chicken parmesan though.

Much older crowd who probably have been going for years and appreciate the prompt and kind service. Our meals though were on the bland side and our salads lacked substance (lettuce and 1 cherry tomato?).
