Chris was fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our grilled quesadilla was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Great food and even better service. We’ll definitely be back!

Best views and margaritas in Grand Lake. Amazingly, not many places with a view here. Skip the food, get a large margarita and guacamole, if you must eat, get a shredded chicken quesadilla too.

Did a backpacking trip on the East Inlet Trail and there was no better way to end the trip in Grand Lake than with a well deserved meal and absolutely the best food at Charlie’s! A friend recommended this spot and I was very impressed with not only the food and drinks- but the beautiful patio views of the lake. The staff were friendly and our waitress Leah gave us great service. Definitely will stop back in when I am in town again!

We found this place on accident! They had indoor and outdoor seating with picture windows that have you a great view of Grand Lake. This is mainly Mexican, but they also offer burgers and fries, as well as kids meals the include chicken tenders and grilled cheese. You get enough food and it was very good. My son got a burger and fries, my husband got a chicken burrito bowl , I got a chicken quesadilla, and my daughter just got a side order of fries. The rice and beans looked fresh, and everything came out hot. Just keep on mind, you get one free basket of chips and salsa for the table. Anything after that , it's $2.95 per basket. Drinks are the same. You get one free refill, after that, you repay the menu price again. We would return,just get water!

I have been coming to Grand Lake for 30 years. This was one of the worst experiences I have had dining. I don’t expect much, I understand that this is a vacation spot and it is not catered people out solely to enjoy a fine dining experience but I have had better experiences at Taco Bell! I have really enjoyed El Pacifico and Poncho and Lefty’s in the past but Charlie’s is horrible. From the extremely small chips and salsa (we asked for two portions and were told no, not sure that will be extra but, no) to the extremely poor customer service and equally poor quality of food for top dollar. Even a good margarita might have won over, but that was equally as horrible, and just as expensive as the rest of the menu. The restaurant was dirty and unorganized. To be honest though I was starving and did eat my entire beef burrito. However, I do not recommend coming here. Go to Grand Pizza, Stagecoach, White Buffalo Pizza, I would even recommend Myauchi’s snack shack over this place. We were warned by locals not to come here but did not listen. On a busy Wednesday night when the Stagecoach was on a 1 hour wait we let hunger win and risked it and regretted the decision. This probably explains why there were only four tables taken while other establishments were on a wait. On a side note, the mirror behind the bar is still labeled as Poncho and Lefty’s. The menu is 100% Mexican cuisine we were told it’s the same menu as the old Pacifico but it’s now Charlie’s sports bar and grill. What are you grilling??? It’s as if someone bought the restaurant, changed the name and did absolutely nothing else to make it better and in turn it got much worse. I think Charlie’s knows it’s one of only a few restaurants in the Grand Lake area and forced between starving and paying top dollar, people will pay to eat and they will make money. There is so much potential here if anyone cared to make an effort and try. And why are you trying to sell fake Gucci and Chanel hats, jewelry and bag packs????
