  Excellent fried chicken on a Sunday afternoon!  Found this place via Yelp on a trip from Virginia to North Carolina.  The food was excellent (fried chicken comparable to nationally famous Gus's in Memphis), service was great and friendly.   Had a nice chat on the way out with Charlie and his wife who were genuine.  So glad we stopped and found this hidden gem!

  Charlie makes some serious fried chicken. The patio is a nice place to sit when the weather's warm. Charlie goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. If you're passing through Amherst, this is the place to stop.

  EXCELLENT Fried Chicken!!!!
  
  At the suggestion of my SBC classmate DE, we ordered the fried chicken, chicken tenders and the taters for our recent reunion class picnic.  We were delighted by all three -- they were well-seasoned and perfectly cooked!!  Your chicken is rockin' -- Hot or Cold!!  
  
  Thanks for making chicken so succulent & scrumptious that I dream about it on the West Coast!  Keep it up Charlie's Chicken...  you've got a great thing going!!  :)

  Great place to get fried chicken.  I'm usually in there for lunch.  I have occasional conversations with Skippy and Mrs. Brown as well as other chicken goers that want to know the happenings with Lancer Football!  Always better to go in the week after a win :)

  I don't normally write reviews but I signed up to for Charlie's Chicken.  If your looking for non chain but fantastic southern cooking, this is it. You'd never find this place driving by due to its location but the chicken pieces are plump, juicy and tender. The breast was Hugh!
  
  They don't over do it on the breading but its still crisp and tasty! The ladies serving you are very fast and hand you your plate with a smile. The sides were awesome and they wouldn't let our group of seven pay until we finished eating.
  
  If you're towing to VIR, this is a great place to stop and its not far off the highway at all. Better than the McDonalds on the way here.  However, it's not a very trailer friendly location.  Worth the effort though.
  
  The laundrymat attached next door has nothing to do with the great food they serve here, but adds to the charm. It was too cold to use the outside deck but I imagine it would be jam packed during the summer.  
  
  Decided to take a chance coming here. Wish I wasn't giving away my new Virginia chicken place secret but its worth the trip.

  Great fried chicken. If you live in Amherst and love fried chicken, look no further. Very clean, including the restroom, and fast, friendly service. The side dishes are real soul food and the selection seems to change daily. The side dishes are a bit pricey, but they're very good. If you have laundry to do, you can use the adjacent laundromat and then go and order some chicken while you're waiting.
  This is a locally owned restaurant that, with some tweaks here and there, could be the start of a franchise.
