Great variety of food options with fantastic counter service. The girls place orders by memory from what you tell them. Above normal burger joint. Love this place

A Webster classic that's one for the books and a must added place to stop when in town for a burger. Staff are always friendly with memories that amaze me each time I'm there (IYKYK) and the food is always delicious! When eating, it can be sloppy and mess but I think that only adds to the experience. Fries and onion rings are crispy and steaming hot, and pickles come in buckets were customers can help themselves. Plenty of off street parking and seating. Great spot for lunch!

Food is excellent! Walk in, order at the counter and find a seat. Fountain sodas, pickles and condiments are self serve. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The place is always packed with people, especially on the weekends but plenty of seating. You have to get the garbage plate! My favorite is always with the home fries, red hots and Mac salad. Put the hot sauce meat sauce all over it and a side of sweet pickles and it's perfection! My son had fries and chicken tenders but after trying my garbage plate he left the fries and chicken tenders alone. My husband played it safe with a bacon cheeseburger. Honestly it was more like a smash burger and bacon was cooked to perfection; nice and crispy. He did get the hot sauce meat sauce on the side and said it elevated his burger. I know in Rochester there's garbage plates everywhere because it's what Rochester is known for and I've tried many places but Charlie's wins, hands down. Highly recommend. I will be returning!

We have been in Rochester for 7 days now and have eaten there 6 days!! Onion rings bomb! Milkshakes bomb! Charlie bomb! Garbage plate double bomb! When we come to Rochester this is the first place we head to in Webster!

Charlies has some of the best garbage plates in the city! We live out of state now but make it a point to stop here every time we come back to Rochester. Also a bonus - they have vegetarian plates made with beyond burgers. They even have a veggie meat hot sauce! Super super exciting, as I can only think of 2 other restaurants in town with vegetarian plates (Red Fern & Dog Town).

Best burger joint around. Their crinkle cut fries are so good! We got milkshakes, we tried the strawberry the chocolate and the cookies and cream, and my God they were so delicious. Their burgers are absolutely amazing. If you haven't been here, they have these huge vats of pickles, both dill and sweet pickles that you can keep refilling at your leisure throughout your meal. This is something I have never seen before and going forward will be disappointed by every burger joint that does not do this. Seriously try a milkshake! They were unbelievable!

I've been going to Charlie's in Webster practically since I was born! Charlie's has one of my favorite "Rochester-Style" burgers, the Charlieburger. Always ordered on a hard roll with everything on it. Yes, it's a bit messy to eat, but that's just part of the experience! Their hot sauce is great, too. Charlie's also has one of my favorite "trash plates" in Rochester, and their plate sauce (different from their burger hot sauce) is amazing...it really has a kick which I love, and they don't skimp on it either! The service is always friendly and super quick, and I'll never understand how they remember your order, and always get it right without writing it down...I'm always impressed! The free vats of sweet and dill pickles are a great bonus...not sure if they're homemade or not, but they have always tasted the same, and I've never found anything quite like them. And they have fountain Loganberry drink...my favorite! Writing this review has me craving a plate from Charlie's now...guess I know where I'm going for dinner!

I've been a Rochester native my entire 30+ years of living and I know a good garbage plate. As someone whose now been vegan for close to 10 years.. I gotta say there hasn't been a single place I recall having an official vegan version of this Rochester staple. The only place that comes to mind is New Ethic Pizzeria, but unfortunately they have extremely limited hours, so when I realized Charlie's had a vegan plate.. I knew I needed to go try it. Especially since they open early and close late ! I ordered the vegan half plate. It comes with vegan mac salad, home fries, and a single impossible patty. Impossible is my favorite meat alternative so I'm thrilled they had it over Beyond. I also dressed mine up with the standard ketchup, mustard, onion, and a side of their vegan meat hot sauce. You MUST get the hot sauce. Then make sure you stop over at the pickle area for loads of pickles too. The plate was the perfect vegan plate. Seriously. I couldn't have been happier and more satisfied. It's also ALOT of food, more than enough for a second meal. I've already been back here twice to get the plate, and I will continue to come back for it. I don't think the other locations have this on their menu, but I could be wrong. Either way, worth coming to Webster for it ! We ate inside, which is your typical fast food burger vibe. Super friendly staff and the food was ready pretty quickly. Can't wait to come back.
