The only thing better than this trip back to the 70's would have been bumping into Pam Greer at the bar.
We dropped in to Charlys around 10 PM. on a road trip back from Yellowstone. Â We were greeted by a large neon sign on the facade which beckoned us in. Â The wall was adorned with locals holding up their fish lines showing they had caught their limit. I can only guess that this is where Charlys sources it's walleye.
The restaurant cannot have changed a bit since it opened, the wood paneling and gold accents were complimented by fantastic period sconces and hanging lights. The Coen brothers should really keep this in mind for their next shoot.
The food was hot and fresh, the portions were generous and the beer was cold. Â The bartender was thoroughly enjoying some Lita Ford and Survivor although she was only 21, she had worked there since she was eleven.
Do yourself a favor, stop in. Â Especially if you have a soft spot for period pieces. Ask Brooke at the bar if she is still planning on becoming an archaeologist or a astronaut.
Classic small town supper club. Â Our waitress said we were in Hicksville when my husband tried to order an amber beer. Â Decent food, good prices, friendly service. Â My husband was less than thrilled with his walleye special, the BLTs were great, the Mexican food was good. Â There's a salad bar, steaks and a full bar. Â Some of us voted 3, some voted 4.
