  My 16 yo son & I stopped in during Sunday afternoon drive(drivers practice). The food was good. The fried chicken was delicious. My son gave his bacon cheese burger, gave it 2 thumbs up. Really nice staff. Don't let outside scare you.

  Awesome fried chicken!!! Peanut night is very fun. Great place to meet up with friends - plus plenty of games to play too. And if you show up on karaoke night, that's a show in itself :)

  A local watering hole, but a little bit more. Out of a tiny kitchen comes a decent variety of pub foods and the nightly specials are usually pretty good. Monday nights, especially, can be worth a visit. The prime rib special is pretty okay. I've been there with my family (there are tables for families, in the back), with the grownups alone, and just alone (they've got free Wi-Fi). Character's Corner never fails to satisfy.

  Good drinks, and good service if you sit at the bar. Most of the food we have had has come out of the freezer, but reasonable prices.  Nice crowd, not to rowdy. We have been here 3 times since moving to the area last year, and do not have a lot of luck with service at the tables. Overall decent value, and my wide says the drinks are nice and strong.

  My son and I had to take a jaunt up to Shelton this afternoon and we decided to stop somewhere on the way back and watch the rest of the Mariner's Game.  Since we were looking to drown our sorrows and maybe get a bite to eat we stopped at Character' Corners at the Steamboat Island Road exit off 101.  Somewhere I had gotten it in my mind that they did a deep fried burger, so on the drive there my son and I decided to split one of those.
  
  Much to my dismay, they don't do a deep fried burger so as we sat grumbling and looking over the menu we ordered a couple of drafts ( I went with a Widmer Hefeviesen and David had an IPA) from a really decent selection of 8 or 10 draft beers.  We finally ordered a four piece chicken with jo's to split and settled in with the game, our beers and the quiet ambiance of a neighborhood pub.
  
  We were both Very Pleasantly surprised when the chicken arrived that it wasn't chicken strips like we expected,  but a whole half a chicken sizzling hot from the fryer with a bunch of jo's that were obviously cut from a fresh potato and dredged in the same covering as the chicken.  I don't even want to say the chicken and jo's were breaded because the batter was so light and crispy as well as extremely flavorful.  The deep-fryer was obviously set on the perfect heat because the chicken was crispy on the outside but not burnt and the meat was moist, tender and juicy on the inside while not retaining any noticeable amount of grease.  The jo's were also well done on the outside, while being moist, HOT and fluffy on the inside and served with a couple of dipping containers of sour cream and ranch dip.  This was without a doubt the BEST chicken and jo's I have ever had!!
  
  Altogether a very nice way to watch the end of a Mariners loss.

  What a great spot. We walk in and the bar is mainly full of the 50+ crowd. And all of them are belly up to the bar. The bartender is clowning with all of them and it generally seemed to be a real friendly place. Perhaps even a corner filled with characters.
  
  Drinks were about the right price. We didn't have any food or try out the pool / shuffleboard tables. The dartboard, however, whoa. The display screen is shot, so there is an old computer monitor straight out of the early 90's above the dartboard that displays the score.
  
  This bar is a gem.
