Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to see what all the buzz was for Charlies and their breakfast. Our visit was initially met with an issue as we are not coffee drinkers so in the morning time we bring our own energy drinks for our breakfast drink of choice. The waitress (the oldest one working on the schedule on Sunday 1/7/24) spoke to us a rude/no personality voice that we were not allowed to drink outside drinks inside. We told her no worries and if they had other energy drinks to offer we would buy those, she said no. So then we just left our unopened energy drinks in the table and said we will just take water. At this point the waitress acted frustrated because we only ordered water and not purchased any drinks and gave attitude or NO PERSONALITY for the rest of our time there. And it was definitely this situation since we observed her walking around talking normal to the other customers. So hence why service was a 1 star from us for running our experience there. As for the food it was what it was billed as - Everything had huge portions and the quality and flavor of each item was amazing !!!! So with that, it made us feel better for coming once you separate the service from this one waitress. Side Note the Banana Bread French Toast is a MUST try !!!!

I love diners and this was one of the best I've been to in my life. I was starving and couldn't get a picture without taking a few bites first. Got the special lox omlette and the griddled cornbread. Phenomenal. Many diners have been around for generations.. Not many can brag about winning a James Beard award? Go see what its about for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Such a lovely place. Food was great (we were a group of 4, all were very happy with their order) Huge portions, so value for money is totally there, and that’s kinda rare in Boston. Service was quiet and just very kind. We went there Saturday morning, arrived just before the rush, so try to be there before 11 if you don’t wanna wait in line.
