Happy hour was a perfect stop for $2.00 apps! Hand cut fries were great and the breading on the cheese curds was light and melted in your mouth. The old fashioned was pretty tasty also.

This was a wonderful choice for a night out that provided an unexpected and fun experience. Well waiting for a table for our party of two on a Friday night we chose to go to the second bar, which is the speakeasy downstairs. There are no run-of-the-mill cocktails, if you want the usual sit at the upstairs bar. The speakeasy is all about making a unique creation catered to your likes, whether it be flavors, hobbies or dreams. A wide selection of distilled spirits and unusual liqueurs create a drink that will have you excited to come up with another. The concept of the speakeasy by Chef Dave is unlike any other bar experience we’ve ever had. He and Ashley made a great team.

Spectacular food! Don’t expect a fast in and out meal. Come in sit, relax and enjoy your meal! Then head down stairs to the Speak Easy! Chef Dave is very entertaining!

Great pub atmosphere. The food is most ever delicious. They serve the mac and cheese in a pan shaped like Wisconsin.

Arrived for the end of happy hour. Good prices for drinks. Got happy hour cheese curds. Appears to be half the amount of the non happy hour serving of curds, do less for the lesser price. Curds were fantastic with a tangy sauce for dipping. Great Gish Fry dinner and Thai Peanut chicken on rice noodles. Raspberry Cheesecake was a huge slice to share and would have licked that plate, but showed great restraint. Cocktails in the Speakeasy were delectable. Fun atmosphere with Chef Dave preparing them. Have yo return…more entrees to try and cocktails to consume.

Charlie’s on Main in Oregon, WI (southern suburb of Madison) was definitely voted “Best of Madison” and “Best Chef” for a reason…everything on the menu is gluten free or it can be made gluten free. I started with gluten free fried cheese curds. They were $8 and came in a large basket. Probably didn’t need to order an entre but I caved into peer pressure…definitely was not disappointed with the Wisconsin Bacon Mac n Cheese (in the shape of Wisconsin too). Huge portion and great flavors!! For dessert I had the cheesecake with raspberry and bourbon flavor. The cream was very soft and moist and the crust had the perfect cinnamon crunch combination. I also had a local Wisconsin gluten free beer. Service was outstanding too!! Going to have to make another trip from Iowa to Wisconsin soon!!

It’s kinda like gluten free heaven. My mom and husband are gluten free and this place can make almost anything gluten free. So they got to have all their old favorites. Even an onion bloom. Fish fry. Etc. And they have a really cool speakeasy that’s open Friday and Saturday which has the sweetest surprise ever. Can’t wait to go back.

Really tasty fish fry. The fries are Brasserie V quality, but they ran out of garlic aioli. Lots of gluten free options, plus nearly everything else on the menu can be made gluten free. Good cheese curds.

My husband and I had a great experience! Awesome options for those with celiac disease. The food was hot and delicious! Plenty of options and I love the fact that they use lots of local ingredients. Friendly wait staff as well and great ambiance. My one critique is that the batter used for both the cheese curds and the fish was very salty as were my grilled asparagus (but I loved the char grilled taste to them). Other than that the flavors were there! We will definitely be back to try more options!!!

If you don’t know about Charlie’s, you should. It is worth the trip to Oregon! Impressive wine selection, friendly atmosphere and excellent food. Being gluten free, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of gluten free items that are on the menu. Even the cheese curds are gf and are some of the best curds I’ve had in a while! The bar in the basement is a must before dinner to start your evening of right!
