I have been wanting to try this place for a while now, and we are not disappointed. Fresh food and amazing service, my picky daughter was only upset because she wanted another hotdog. We got our food to go and got home and saw the cutest touch an edible flower. The strawberry lemonade was so refreshing. You can tell the owners take pride in what they do. We will be back for sure. FYI, run and buy the blueberry cheesecake egg rolls they are yummy.

Came to try their milkshakes and got a blueberry one and it was perfect not to sweet not watery. Even got blueberry cheesecake egg rolls and blueberry cheesecake nachos. And let me tell you, go get you some! The owners are also very cool and personable.

Saw a post on Facebook about this place and decided to try it out . All in all I was impressed , service was great , and my son approved of the food he’s on the spectrum and extremely picky and they passed the test . Only downside is the parking but it was worth it

We visited Charlies after hearing the hype. We had to try it for ourselves. The food was delicious and came out hot. Real beef, no premade patties. I ordered a Cheeseburger combo complete with signature seasoned fries and a coke, 15.00 My husband ordered the famous Chopped Cheese combo, also 15.00. There was plenty of food to go around. The service was friendly and efficient. We met the owners and they were fun and excited to re-open for Spring 2025. The location is busy with foot traffic and night life. This is a walk up window service and they seem to have a great community for support. You have to visit! The whole experience was enjoyable! We will absolutely be making this one of our date night stops.

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent prices, excellent staff. Places like these are what defines New Bedford uniqueness, as they sell stuff way beyond hotdogs which I’m sure is delicious
