Mr Charles Chicken & Fish

Another review that I hate to write. I was so excited about finally ordering from here. I was so hungry & had a taste for everything unhealthy. I ordered the fried fish & fried chicken special, fantail shrimp, & had the Mac & cheese & green beans as sides.
The staff was super friendly but alas, not a single napkin in the bag. I HATE that.
The fried shrimp tasted like every other fast food restaurant. It was overly battered and lacked a real home cooking taste. The same goes for the fried chicken. It could’ve been fried chicken from anywhere.
The fish was good but again there was way too much batter. It was nothing special. The mac & cheese was okay. The green beans were decent. I spent about $ 15 on that meal & ended up giving most of it away. Such a shame, I really wanted to like this place

Wanted to add some extra compliments! We recently had them cater an 80 person lunch and after they did our tailgate a few months back, people were literally in line 20+ minutes before they arrived to get their hands back on Mr. Charles food! They did a great job of getting all of the food here and on time. Everyone is looking forward to the next time we have them come!

Stopped in for a quick lunch while in Charlotte on business. Shrimp and Chicken were amazing! The staff were very friendly and courteous, and all of the patrons were very friendly too. It was a welcoming place with delicious food. Great pick!

I live quite a distance away from here but found myself running errands in the area around lunch time mid week a few times so I stopped by. They are really nice people and I love the family feel. They make u feel like u are at home. My favorites the shrimp burger, turkey burger and okra. Went one evening close to closing time and small details were missing like it was rushed but that’s to be expected sometimes at closing time. I will definitely be back and can’t wait to bring my family from up north in for a visit.

Friendly staff, reasonable prices and great food! It really doesn’t get any better than that. I keep saying I’m going to try the burgers I hear so much about but man if I can’t resist the fried fish everytime.

If you are looking for a sit down restaurant, this is not the place. But if you are looking for great food and friendly staff, this is the place.

In two words: Worth it. This small family owned shop had one of the best burgers I’ve had in ages. Had the Mr. Charles special which came with onions, chili, slaw (all homemade) and a double beef patty which was made in house. Cooked to perfection, it nearly melted in my mouth. Also came with a very generous helping of potato wedges.
So next time you’re in the mood for a GREAT burger and are wondering if it’s worth venturing out into the experience that Beatties Ford road can be let me remind you that it is 100% worth it.

WOW, is all I can say. I lived in Charlotte all of my life and probably have past Mr. Charles well over a thousand times. But it wasn’t until I saw them passing out meals at Christmas time (hate I didn’t get one then) and saw the article in the Newspaper that my wife and I finally stopped and what a treat it was. We had some Awesome fish sandwiches that day. Went back a week later and got some chicken and the rest is history. We had them cater our dinner this past Saturday and everyone loved the chicken and potato salad. Now I love the other chicken place down in the Dilworth area, some of you may know of it and we choose Mr. Charles over them. Well got to go pick up the wife from work and head by Mr. Charles to try out the double cheeseburger. Oh, I can’t forget to tell you how wonderful and friendly the staff is. Success spells great food and great service, which you will find at Mr. Charles

My favorite chicken spot. I would recommend calling a head. Takes a minute to deep fry delicious chicken. On the one day a month with I need a fix, this is where you will find me. They marinate their chicken overnight and even feed the less fortunate on Christmas Day.

Frying chicken and shrimp and fish in the same grease is cheap and disgusting. If you don’t mind it then maybe you will enjoy it. I was certainly not a fan. I’d rather pay more and get more than pay less and get a mess

With a name like Mr. Charles Chicken, I HAD to try it! We ordered a 2 piece dark meat with a side of fried okra, perfect for an early lunch. Crispy, seasoned chicken, fried perfectly. Plenty of side items to choose from and hand made mini sweet potato pies. The man at the counter also told us homemade cupcakes on Friday! No seating, carry out only. Great for large orders too!!!

We had them cater our food for a high school graduation party – The food was FABULOUS!!! The fried fish was crispy and seasoned perfectly. The baked & fried chicken was fresh, tender & juicy and the Mac n cheese & green beans tasted like your grandma’s! We also had their yellow rice that was fluffy and tasty. We had other sides but these were the hit makers! We will definitely return. All of our «out of town» guests said they’ll put the number in their phones to visit at their next trip to the Queen City! I passed this place hundreds of times but never stopped. We’re so glad we had them cater for us. The owner is a very nice and pleasant gentleman. They even loaded up our car with curb service for all the food. Excellent service!

I’m always on the hunt for a good fish sandwich and I especially love going to places with history and longevity in the business. Mr Charles has been around since the 80’s, is a father/​son business and are known for their chicken poboy (3 piece, potato wedges and a roll). I called in my order of chicken and fish and arrived just before closing. I conversed with the father who rang me up and he couldn’t believe I had never been there before since I’ve lived in Charlotte a while. He was such a nice guy and reminded me of home when he asked for my last name to ensure he didn’t know any of my ‘folks’…too funny. I wasn’t in love with how the fish and chicken was seasoned, the potato wedges were actually seasoned better, but I do plan to return for what I hear is a pretty mean turkey burger.

I’ve seen this place a thousand times on the way to get my hair fixed, and last Saturday I decided to stop by and see what it was all about. It was crowded which is sometimes a good sign, it’s a small place right on the corner of Stateville Ave right beside a barbershop. So I went in and of course it smelled amazing fried, fried and more fried. I got me a white meat chicken box it came with potato wedges, a roll and baked beans with a breast and wing. I also got lemonade to drink, it took sometime but it was well worth it, it was the best fried chicken on the bone I’ve had in sometime. The beans were really good, my little girl of course enjoyed the potato wedges but she enjoyed the rest as well. I taught it was amazing, I wish it was one near my house. But I will make it a routine stop after I get my hair fixed from now on out, yall should try it if you not on a calorie counting, fearing fried food kind of trip then you will enjoy it, they also have many different types of fish.
