I really enjoyed my visit to Charles Seafood. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The employee who took my Togo order provided great customer service. My order was ready fast. All of the meals I ordered were hot, fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the cheese grits. The food is very filling and very affordable.

We were recommended this place by some coworkers. The waitress recommended the fried grouper and it was great! I'm not even a huge seafood fan. Great friendly service! Cool atmosphere! Would definitely come back.

If you're looking for a very good local eatery, this is the place. The fish is cooked to perfection, and the portions are generous. Fried seafood is their specialty but we found the grilled salmon better than you get at the local chain restaurants. This is a no-frills place -- plastic plates and utensils, Styrofoam cups -- but that helps keep their prices in check. Charles Seafood has been serving for more than 50 years , and stepping in there is like finding a diner from yesteryear. Highly recommended.
