Charlie's Cafe, Norfolk, Virginia, American Restaurant Details

Food:

Went for my birthday and loved it. The omelettes are super fluffy and delicious!

Food:

This place has lots of character. One of the diners was an adorable little girl with purple hair. Had the waffle with scrambled egg whites and turkey sausage. The food was on point and our waiter was prompt and friendly. The turkey sausage links are delicious.

We decided to have a departing breakfast this morning at Charlie's with my son who is stationed in Norfolk. The reviews were good, and the place is a little artsy and divey, so we figured we'd give it a try
My son arrived first and asked for a table for four and was laughed at by the waitress who told him he'd have to go to the bar. After a few minutes, he was seated at a four top and we arrived minutes later.
The same waitress waited on us and promptly brought out menus and took our drink orders. The drinks arrived quickly and we all ordered breakfast from the menu-no special requests were made.
After waiting a short time, another waitress brought out our food and was followed by our waitress who asked if everything was okay. My mother said to her, "I ordered sausage patties with mine", and the waitress said, "No, you did not", and walked away. We all looked at each other as we were all thinking THAT didn't just happen??
The waitress returned again to refill our coffee mugs and again asked if everything was okay and I said, "the home fries aren't done". The waitress said, "what do you mean not done, are they mushy?" I told her they were not cooked thoroughly and were half-cooked. She said okay. And walked away. She didn't offer to replace our sides with anything else or even apologize that the home fries weren't cooked.
Our waitress was extremely rude and made our experience such that we won't be going back. I listened to the other waitresses during our meal and none of them had the unprofessional attitude ours showed.
The omelettes were very good and perfectly cooked, but poor service from a cocky, disrespectful waitress will prevent our going back. Sorry, Charlie!

Food:

DONT GO! The cooks curse and yell. Not family friendly at all. DONT GO!

Food:

My favorite go-to breakfast treat. The food is great and there's plenty of it. Any omelette will be more than enough to satisfy your cravings, and the homefries are done on the grill and not in a deep frier. Charlie's on Granby is the standard bearer for any breakfast in Norfolk.
