    I have some friends that frequent this place on Thursday nights for karaoke and the $1 draft beer (not as cool as you think, it's about 6 oz in a plastic cup).  If it weren't for seeing friends here, I don't think I'd ever set foot in here.  I have 2 main issues with the place and they might seem odd, but they bother me.  First and this is fairly minor, they have several TV's around the bar, but they play low definition broadcasts on them, so the picture is very grainy and looks terrible.  My main gripe however is the bar itself, it's HUGE and takes up more than half the restaurant.  I get what they were trying to do, which is to make a tiki hut bar inside, but the bar is round and literally takes up the majority of the dining space.  That leaves very little room for tables and even less room to walk between tables.  That didn't stop them from cramming tables and chairs everywhere, so you're constantly asking people to move so you can get by.  The service is usually okay and the food is fine, but nothing special.  To quote Yelp "Meh.  I've experienced better."

    We stopped by here for a few drinks one night with friends. The bar was packed and they had karaoke, which was fun. The drinks are reasonably priced, and while the ambiance is lacking, it's a good, casual place if you want something to spice up a dull weekday night. The staff is also really nice. I wouldn't mind going back.

    This review is only for the bar area, since that's the part I've sat in. Tried the fried alligator it was ok, a little chewy. The sauce it came with was actually more flavorful. I had the loaded fries which were a great deal and huge. It took five people to finish them. The fries are perfect bar food. There's Karaoke on Thursday nights and people really get into it, which is fun.  Later in the night there's a pretty decent crowd, but you can still hear. On Thursdays as well, there's $1 small beers on special and some of their large mixed drinks for $8. I had the problem solver, which comes in a mini bucket. It was not overly sweet/sugary and had some kick to it. Overall, it is a good place to meet up with a group and sing some karaoke in the burbs.

    I was here this past Friday night about 9pm with 2 friends and it wasn't busy at all.  We sat in the bar area, which is rather large and cutely decorated with a tropical theme.  They have a full bar, but on special was $10 bottles of wines.  I would have thought they'd have a decent selection since they are were advertising this special, BUT they only had 4 kinds.  We settled for the White Zinfandel, since that was the sweetest, which was just OK.  Hopefully they expand that selection if they keep promoting that special.  

    As for the food, 2 of us settled on the Mediterranean Chicken Burgers and the other was the Coconut Crusted Jumbo Shrimp.  The burgers were juicy and bun was fresh but it wasn't the most flavorful burger I've had.  However, the side of Cajun potato salad was something I would definitely reorder!!!  So flavorful!  I didn't try the shrimp and sweet potato fries, but I know my friend was very pleased!

    Nice place. Food is ok. Service is very slow even at the bar.  Not sure I would go back.

    This place was incredibly mediocre. I was brought here by a friend who comes here and loves the karaoke. The karaoke is fine if that's your thing and if you don't mind signing up an hour in advance because everyone there thinks it's american idol. I would have made this a 3 star review except the second time I went to get a drink at the circular bar I waited about 10-15 minutes for a bartender to serve me. I wasn't behind a wall of people or anything. I was at the bar leaning forward in the textbook "I am in need of a beverage" stance. There were 3 bartenders so it wasn't a matter of being too busy. They were literally ignoring an entire half of the bar. Not sure why. This wouldn't have been a problem except they didn't appear to have any waiters/waitresses yet had a full restaurant of tables and an outdoor seating area that should have required service. Not a bad place overall, but it seems poorly ran.

    I like giving restaurants the benefit of the doubt when it comes to mediocre service, but I'm not really sure what to say about Cabana Charley's anymore. The first time we went there, we sat in the dining room area which is on the opposite side of the restaurant. Service was decidedly mediocre, so I figured maybe just sitting in the dining area was a bad idea as the staff seemed way more focused on the bar.

    So, whatever, the next time we went, we decided we'd sit on the bar side. For some reason, no one ever seems to be standing at the host/hostess stand at this place. Instead, we stood near the "please wait to be seated" sign for what felt like an eternity, trading desperate glances with waiters, waitresses, and the table bussing staff who all seemed to be doing everything they could to not give us any kind of eye contact.

    Once we were finally seated, the excruciating wait continued as we again played the "someone please look at us" game, trying to see who would acknowledge us so we could get some menus and a drink order in. Once our waiter finally found us, things picked up, but this still seemed pretty crazy. I tried to mentally write it off as "Eh, they're just busy," but I'm not sure how much of an excuse that is.

    We returned again today bright and early, or, earlier than most normal people would go for burgers and beers. Once again, no one at the host/hostess stand. Just like last time, an entire age of man passed before our waiter arrived. I've run out of excuses for why the service could be so bad here, and I'm just coming to grips with the fact.

    Why three stars and not way less? They do some really rockin' trivia, karaoke, and the food is actually surprisingly good. It's just really unfortunate that the front of the house just can't get their act together when the kitchen is spitting out gold and whoever is in charge of promotions is putting on such cool events. If you don't mind being more patient than you should need to be at a restaurant, this all might be worth the trade off. Maybe.

    Average at best!? I've been here for just drinks before and that experience went very well and we had a great time!! This time for lunch was kinda ick!! My Mom had  BBQ baby back ribs, they were cold! I'm guessing they reheat these, not cook them fresh!? My burger was fatty! They advertise on the front door "best burgers in town" ummm no not really!! I guess they're counting on people being smashed and not being able to taste the food?? Bad, wouldn't go back there to eat again!! Maybe just for a fun place to drink??

    Been here 4 times with my family and friends and I don't get it. Food is average at best. If I'm going to spend $10 on a burger I can think of a lot of other places I'd rather go

    I went here for the first time a week ago. I had the Pelican wings. I wish it was really Pelican meat, that would be awesome. They are actually just thin chicken tenders. The buffalo sauce on them was hot and I loved it. This was on a Sunday, and they have $2 or 2.50 domestic drafts. Score! I also had some chicken skewers which were very good. This place didn't blow me away, but it didn't disappoint. I will go back to try more things.

    It looks like a cheesy Jimmy Buffet knockoff franchise bar, so I was expecting a mediocre meal.  But, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was!  The burger with the pretzel roll bun was excellent, the chicken fingers (they call them Parrot Lips) were hand breaded, spicy and the best I have ever eaten! Most places just use the Cisco Food Service tenders, the difference is remarkable. The Cajun Potato Salad was very tasty too!

    The atmosphere is intentionally tacky, fake tropical. The bar is very large and circular with plenty of seats and lots of TVs.  There is a large outdoor patio, but it is January so I cant  check it out. The prices are in-line with TGIFs and Chillis. The service was very good.

    I will be back!

    Food is awesome. Some of the best fries I've ever had. The interior design is really cool. Its a comfortable place to hang out with. The 4 stars is for the food, and the food alone. NOT the service.

    Our service was terrible. The waitress wore shorts that resembled something more like khaki underwear, and our table was eye level with her hoo-ha. Fortunately for us (I guess....) she didn't return to refill our drinks or check on how the food was.

    I was super excited to try this place and very disappointed when all was said and done. This is the kind of place that would be right up my alley. And I am so down with any place that serves alligator!

    Came with my dad and the hubby. The host was really nice and just let us pick our table as the place was not very full.

    The waitress came and took our drink orders. My dad and I ordered Red Stripes - can't really screw that up. The hubby ordered a Jack and Coke. She asked if Pepsi would be okay and he said fine. Our drinks took a long time and when they finally came the hubby's drink was served in a cup that only plain pop would be served in. He asked her if it was Jack and Coke and she said "Pepsi". "But there's Jack in here"? "Yes"! He tried and no Jack. My dad and I both tried it too to make sure it just wasn't really weak and absolutely no Jack. The hubby went out for a smoke and the waitress finally came back and I said very slowly and clearly "He ordered a Jack and Coke". "Oh, I thought he said a draft coke". What?!

    Meanwhile, I was speaking with my dad (we had already put our order in for the parm chips and the gator bites) and said you can't find gator around here that isn't breaded and fried. The host overheard me and said that they can grill them and went to let the cook know. We never saw him again. A little later they brought the food and the gator was breaded and fried. I said that they were supposed to be switched to grilled. The guy who brought the food just looked at me funny and walked away. If the cook was informed too late I have no problem with that. I personally think you should try to fulfill your customers requests, but if not fine. But the host should have come back and let us know.

    So between that and the fact that the empty place seemed to still pose a problem to get average attention from our waitress, we decided to forgo dinner there and go elsewhere.

    I did not like the parm chips but dad did. I did like the alligator a lot. I found it much more appealing than some other places around here that serve gator.

    I may give this place another try because some friends have had mostly good experiences and because the gator was so good, but expectations will be very low.

    For the same kind of "tiki bar" atmosphere I think Cheeseburger in Paradise is much better!

    The wife and myself have been here a few times, we are never disappointed! I had a burger which was awesome! I recommend getting the chips and salsa for an appetizer.

    I have been coming to Cabana Charley's for a few months now.  The food is decent but the drink specials are great. I like the island theme, although the Jimmy Buffet music gets a bit repetitive.

    But my favorite time to go is when they have their pub trivia night on Tuesdays. The trivia host is entertaining and I have fun with my friends even though we don't win most of the time.

    I think this place has a lot of potential. I love the idea of a restaurant that has the feel of being on a tropical vacation.

    While the decor is fun, the food is nothing to write home about. I would rate the food very average. You will find your basic American fare here...salads, burgers, sandwiches, etc. I went with the buffalo chicken salad, and it was decent, but certainly nothing to write home about.

    I got a $5 margarita special, and I have to say it wasn't bad. Usually, I find the drink specials at restaurants to be relatively alcohol free. This one wasn't bad, and I probably would have had another one if we didn't have plans with friends after wards.

    Our waitress was great. She was attentive, and pleasant.

    They do have live music on Saturdays, and I might go back for that.

    The best thing about where I live is being within walking distance of a great movie theatre, bars and awesome restaurants. When I first moved, Cabana Charley's was the first place I checked out.

    The service is always very friendly and I love that they run a Groupon almost every weekend for which you can get $15 worth of food for $7. Several times, we've gotten two appetizers and two beers (domestic drafts are $2 on Sundays!) and then walked over to the theater enjoy a movie. I love the jalapeno bottle caps - they're fried jalapeno slices served with ranch dressing. Not healthy, but a yummy treat!

    The outdoor seating area is also nice during warmer months and the Jimmy Buffett music helps me feel like I'm someplace more exotic than Illinois! I also applaud them for frequently holding fundraisers and being involved with the community.

    I'd quote Jimmy Buffett here because that's the kind of music that plays at a tiki bar (right?) but tbf I think he is the devil and I can't stand his music.  Whatever puts you in the mood as you enter here I guess.  I'll stick with a bucket of rum.

    Tiki bar themed and chill atmosphere.  They have karaoke, live music, great drink specials including $5 rum buckets on Mondays, and a decent outdoor patio.  I've been here a dozen times because of a karaoke contest that ran a couple months.  My friends and I ate here each time and the food isn't great, but there is a lot to choose from.  They stick with the theme as far as menu items go with things like alligator bites and conch fritters.  The staff was friendly each time and I never had an issue they didn't immediately correct.  

    Points for cleanliness and ample seating.  There is the side with the bar and a quieter dining side if you are just there to eat.  With the bar options in Woodridge seriously lacking, I'd say Cabana Charlie's is at least a good pick for a quick bite and a pregame drink.  Just shut up and pretend you are raight neer da beech.

    I'm torn in my review of Cabana Charleys. I absolutely love the idea of a tiki-bar in the middle of the mid-west, but this place just doesn't live up to my expectations.  

    The food is nothing more than any other American chain restaurant: burgers, sandwiches and every appetizer under the sun.  Edible but nothing special.

    The bar area has a lot of potential with "bamboo bombers" (the tropical version of a shot-ski), good beer specials, a small stage for a live band and rum by the bucket,  but something just doesn't add up. The band is usually awful old men who can barely hold a tune and the so called "problem solver" rum bucket is mostly juice. (Maybe they have different kind of problems then the rest of America)

    Over the last couple of years we've been in mid day as well as for dinner.  The food has been discussed extensively, I personally love the Black and Blue Burger and the sweet potato fries - my daughter would rank the Pelican Lips at the top of her list.

    Something that has not been mentioned is how connected to the community the management is.  I make conscious choices when I patronize a business.  Check out their policy of giving back, sponsoring fund raisers, etc.  This is NOT a big chain, this is a locally owned business - one that gives back on a regular basis.  You cannot beat THAT!  Unless... you also take note that if there is something that needs to be corrected - the managers will do just that - as long as they're informed.  I appreciate a business that intends to do the right thing as well as turn a profit.

    Cheesy, cheesy, cheesy. Only way to describe this place. Came here after seeing at movie at 7 bridges Cinemark. The crowd was older, highly intoxicated people & the service was mediocre. Our waitress kept forgetting the bill despite us asking her numerous times for it. Margarita had 0 alcohol in it. Don't think I will coming back here in a while, especially with other bar/restaurants so close.

    I have been here twice now and any place that has specials on Guiness will always have a special place in my heart.  $3 for a pint all through March is awesome.  Grab their calendar or check there website to see what drink specials they have going on.  Both times we have sat in the bar area and I like the tiki bar layout.  The food is average:  the cajun chicken was basically a chicken breast with hot sauce on it, and the nachos weren't anything to write home about.  What this place lacks in food it makes up for it in drink specials and entertainment.  We were there on a trivia night and ended up having a lot of fun and would come back for this.  They have bands on the weekends, but I have not made it out there on a weekend yet.

    Overall a decent place.

    Ok this is a great place for people on a budget that want to drink..if you go for the drink specials. The food is bar food..on the lower end. The pelican lips (boundless chicken tenders w/buffalo like sauce) were good. My husband liked the lemonade, but I found nothing special about it. This isn't our typical type of choice for dinner, but our other choice next store was packed. The chicken & pineapple skewers were horrible. The pineapple looked like pineapple, but was rubbery and jasmine flavor. You wouldn't even guess it was pineapple. The Cheeseburger was big beef, but average in taste and the fries were ok.
    Slow service..waitress and food delivery.

    I've been here on several occasions and have enjoyed everyone one of them. I love the burgers here, and the service is top notch. When your done mosey into the bar area and continue to enjoy the drinks and occasional band that plays.

    I haven't tried them (yet) but I hear the ribs are fantastic. Thats on my to-do list.

    Oh Em Geeee! I feel like a lot of these reviews are people being polite because this place is not a place to go when you're hungry.. or thirsty really.

    The environment is pretty inviting, although I've only been on the outdoor patio.  Our server was ok, kinda uninterested, and the server and manager took smoke breaks not too far from our table which was pretty gross.

    I ordered a drink in a bucket, because why the hell not!!? It tasted like bottled, pre-mixed drinks you buy at the grocery store. No bueno.  We ordered our food and my shrimp poboy came out.  After having a shrimp po boy at another restaurant not too long before it.. I was TOTALLY diappaointed.  The shrimps looked like teeny tiny frozen shrimps, the lettuce looked prebagged, and the bread was 90% of the sandy.  I ate about 1/4 of it and drank about 1/2 my drink and wanted to get out.

    I've been tempted to go back in and give it another shot, maybe on a trivia or kareoke night? I just was not impressed.

    Went to Cabana Charley's for the first time today for lunch.

    The place was not crowded at all.  The environment is that of a beach side tiki bar.  Might be nice in the summer time for tropical drinks, but for a lunch on a cold rainy day with no one in the restaurant, it was pretty bland.

    We walked in and were told to seat ourselves.  The waitress was nice and did a pretty good job, but spent approximately 80% of the time we were there chatting with a guy (maybe her boyfriend).  It really did not affect her service, but was kind of annoying as he was sitting at the table next to ours.

    The food was about as unremarkable as it could be.  It wasn't necessarily bad, but it certainly was not good.  We had some chicken fingers and burgers.  They were ordinary and below average.  The burgers were dry and tasteless.  The chicken fingers were greasy.

    The prices were about on par with similar places.  Approximately $10 for the burger.

    They did appear to have an extensive selection of tropical and other drinks available, but we did not partake.  These things might make the place more appealing.

    The lunch was below average, so that's the score I gave it.  I would advise anyone looking for lunch to try another place right there in the same seven bridges area.

    Well, 9 dollar buckets of rum drinks are great, the bartenders are good, the food is edible, but the manager lady ruins the place. She has the people skills of a prison guard.

    A coupon for this place came in the mail in one of those Val Pak envelopes and the deal was for a buy one sandwich, burger, or pasta entree, and get one free.  My roommate and I are both suckers for coupons so we were totally swayed and decided to check the place out.

    When you enter the restaurant, the bar is to the right, the sit down restaurant area is to the left.  The restaurant side seemed pretty desolate.  It was around 8pm on a Thursday.  The bar area was packed though.  We asked the hostess if it was just open seating in the bar area and she was like, "I don't know if there are any available seats...Wait, are you over 21?"  We confirmed that we were over 21 and found some seats at the bar counter.

    Lots of drink specials.  $5 mojitos, margaritas, martinis, hurricanes, long islands, mai tais and some beer specials for $3.  The food is your standard American style fare with some "island" flare, I suppose.  It's pretty much a Margaritaville knock off, down to the slogan, "It's always 5 o'clock at Charley's."  I generally don't find this kind of food appealing so it was tough to choose an entree.  I eventually went with a jalapeno burger with sweet potato fries.  The burger was pretty big circumference-wise but it wasn't one of those typical restaurant style burgers that are so tall that you struggle to fit it all in one bite.  The patty wasn't too thick, which I actually prefer cause I don't like the crumbly texture of ground beef.  If you're looking for a thick burger, look elsewhere.  I love sweet potato fries and it's hard to mess them up.  My roommate got the Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich and she said it was juicy.  The long island was stiff but the mango margarita was more like a smoothie than a blended margarita and I could hardly taste the tequila.

    The staff wasn't very attentive but we were at the bar so I wasn't expecting them to tend to us often.  They seemed quite busy with the crowd.  It was karaoke night so there were several groups there and some regulars too.  I noticed that nearly every person who went up there could actually sing!

    My roommate and I are planning to come back cause it's really close to our place.  So kudos to Charley's for putting out that coupon.  It totally worked.

    I went here 3 Thursdays in a row for a karaoke contest they were holding. The karaoke itself was EXCELLENT: no nerve-grating singers (even non-contestants), and the DJ (Scott Socha) was clearly VERY experienced, and really knew how to put on a show, deal with difficulties, etc.

    The drinks were acceptably priced, including $5 REAL pina coladas and mojitos that were quite tasty (some places make them with well liquor, so they taste weird). The waitstaff is incredibly friendly, fast and attentive, the whole place is very clean (incl bathrooms) and the food is good for bar food, but way to expensive for small portions.

    So why the two stars? The head manager (well, whichever one works Thursday nights, she wouldn't give her name(!)). She is so offensive, that all of the great stuff I wrote above was only enough to bump me up to two stars. She actively walks around the place, and nitpicks and micromanages every little aspect of the place, INCLUDING THE CUSTOMERS. She's also that sort of manager that instantly goes into RABID FIGHT MODE whenever a concern arises, completely bypassing "civil discussion." Big service-industry no-no, as we all know.

    I had a group of 16 people coming for the third night in a row, so she was well familiar with us. Still, for the third week in a row, she would not allow me to move tables together so we could all sit with each other until the whole group was there (what restaurant bar doesn't allow this?!). This was AFTER my waitress had already told me it was perfectly fine. So, as 4 of us had arrived early, each of us sat at a 4-seater table to reserve them for the group. She then came back and told us we can't do that EITHER, and that our current group of four MUST sit at one table. One of our group as a gag went up and sang a somewhat offensive song, and instead of asking the DJ to not allow songs like that to be sung, the manager came right up to my friend and told him it was unacceptable and to not do that again. Truly bizarre. In an economy where we're already reluctant to be going out and dropping even $5 on a single drink, shouldn't these places be treating their remaining clientele like gold?

    My bf & I came here to see our friend's live karaoke band play & to sing karaoke some months ago this summer.  I believe it was a Sat night.  The place was clean & decorated fine, & though we didn't try the food it looked good.  The drink prices were nothing special, maybe even a little high.  I noticed the bartenders were abundant but didn't acknowledge us as much as they should've.    
    We didn't understand why they hired a band that night, b/c the manager constantly complained that they were too loud.  Apparently they had never had anything other than acoustic performers, so the manager kept turning the band's mics down.  We became irritated as we were sitting near the back of the bar, just about straining to hear our friends sing.  I understand this was also a restaurant where people were dining, & maybe wanted to dine quietly, but they should've started the entertainment after 9:30pm then, not 8pm.  I'm not sure what this manager expected, but she had to be aware that she hired a "band".  She was also rude about the situation to the band, so they won't be returning & neither will we---at least not to hang out, though maybe to try the food but I doubt it.

    Moderately Priced
    Decently Clean
    Interesting Food
    Blah on the Service
    Place to Party?  Not so much.
    Place for Entertainment?  Obviously Not.

    My gf and I went here for a quiet lunch one rainy Saturday.  CC's is indeed quiet--I suspect they are losing customers (single guys, anyway) to the vapid Tilted Kilt around the corner.  CCs is a pleasant enough place.  The decor is so-so, but prices are reasonable and the service is prompt and pleasant.  The menu gives a lot of choices.  Both the Jamaican pulled pork and the  club sandwich were quite tasty and filling.  I was a little bothered by the fact that the key lime pie had coconut in the crust (I'm no fan of coconut), but the filling was creamy and tart.  It's a good place for a quick lunch when the more explensive places in the area are too much and the nearby sandwich joints are too little.

    I tried this place for the first time with one of my good Four Lakes friends a few weeks after they opened. Walking in I liked the atmosphere right away. They have a pretty cool bar area. The lettuce wraps are one of the best ones I have had. Pretty good mixed drinks and even better when you get a GREAT bartender. Buckets of mixed drinks for $8.00 is a sweet deal.

    I have not checked out the live music yet but I plan on doing so soon. They also have a nice size outdoor seating area. I never had to wait for a table which is a PLUS.

    Unlike other reviews, I did not come here for drinks and a party atmosphere. I came for the food, if you want to have drinks and fun, BW's is in the same lot.

    Anyway, the two times I went here (once for lunch, once for dinner, same menu.) I got a jerk chicken wrap and then a Jamaican club sandwich. I could not taste any sort of spice in either meal. That said, it still tasted ok. The appetizers were the highlight of the meal, great conch fritters and good "Pelican lips" (boneless chicken wings). Others at the table seemed to enjoy their pineapple bowls filled with tuna salad and chicken salad.

    If you are in the area I would say give it a try, but I would not go out of my way to go here.

    I tried this place for a happy hour for some of my friends and we had a great time.  First of all, I thought that the Rum Buckets were great and were a great deal.  Coming from someone who is used to paying $9 for a martini in downtown Naperville, I think that a bucket full of a delicious rum concoction for $8 is a steal - and I only needed one.

    I also tried a burger on the menu and that was good too.  The had karaoke the night that we went (Thursday) and there were some good singers - but none of use were brave enough.  The only hangup that we had was that we had a coupon and wanted to have the bill split 6 ways.  I had asked the waiter to apply the coupon to the entire total of the check and then split the bill - which I understand is difficult.  Instead what he did was apply the coupon to one person's meal and not the person who had the coupon in the first place.  The manager came by and ended up sorting out the bill mess and gave us a $25 dollar gift card to come back for drinks on them.  It was much appreciated.

    Ok, we've been here twice now so I feel my review is a little more justified. I would like to give it 4.5 stars.
    1st time was a Friday evening, 7PMish. Short wait for a table. Not a big place by any means and you will probably be within a few inches of others at various times. Great party atmosphere as the evening progressed. Food, decent and priced fairly.  Drinks, again priced fairly and good. Live music varies and was very good, not too loud.
    They offer a 3 for $10.00 shot in a piece of bamboo that is a great deal, if there are 3 of you.

    2nd time was a Saturday evening 6PM. few people, no wait and we decided to sit at the bar. Again, music was fine, food good only the service left a little to be desired. Not the best waitress we have had by far but we didn't let it ruin the night. It took about 15 minutes just to get her attention to get the bill!

    I like the place. It 's about 30 minutes from us so it's a nice substitute for those evenings we don't feel like traveling into Chicago.

    Try it, you might just like it.

    ***UPDATE***

    After a few more trios here I have to take a star away.
    We sat at the bar and service was, well, very slow twice in a row. I expect to be asked about another drink as soon as it mine gets low. I should not have to ask when seated at the bar for another drink. This happened repeatedly 3 times now. The flair thing is neat but if it costs you drinks and customers you will lose in the end. From the looks of the crowd I think that has begun already.

    Too bad, I really liked this place.

    Cabana Charley's is new tiki bar and grill at the Main Street in Seven Bridges Woodridge. They are located in the back of the shopping plaza so look for the bright orange lettering and plenty of parking available too.

    The atmosphere is jamaican influence, where their motto is "Relax...its always 5 o'clock at Charley's". Powered by countless mixed rum drinks you are sure to find a potent concoction.

    The menu is your traditional bar style however they go a step further offering caribbean/jerk chicken, alligator bites, conch fritters, jamaican club sandwiches, marinated sirloin, ribs and more.

    There are tons of drink specials daily, might I suggest the flaming shipwreck for (2). Once you are finished with it you will feel like you are on the island....ya mon!
