"Mark and Eric Plescha have been quietly working their magic in an unassuming eatery on the banks of the Delaware in Yardley for several years. Ambitious breakfast and lunch lineups make way for evening-time enchantment when the brothers flex their pasta-making muscles. The creative plates, like ruffled radiatori tossed with bacon bolognese and sourdough casarecce done cacio e pepe style, are available in half portions, so making a meal out of more than one is the way to go." - Caroline Coral

Charcoal was an amazing place to get breakfast! The location is near the river that you can view if you get a table near the window. I had gone here in January. We had made a reservation so we did not have to wait. Service was very nice and attentive. I had the eggs Benedict with ham and it was good. Someone else at my table got the eggs Benedict Florentine which I think was even better! I also liked the home fries. Everything was nicely flavored. Our most favorite thing that our table had shared as a group of 3 was the brioche donut which was amazing. It was warm and the caramel sauce was perfect with it-one of the best donuts I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a yummy breakfast spot with great service and nice views.

Absolutely love Charcoal BYOB! The food is delicious, the service is fast and friendly and the views of the Delaware river are breathtaking. It's a BYOB so you do have to bring your own alcoholic beverages but that means the bill is that much more pleasant to receive! I can't wait to go back!

My first time visiting this restaurant and I thought it was so very nice. We came for breakfast and I have to say the pancakes were delicious, some of the best I ever had. The creamed chipped beef was delicious, I only wish it had been served a little hotter. The home fries had so much flavor and the portions are more than generous! I so look forward to a return trip.

Celebrating our Mom’s 91st birthday. Our first time there and I chose it based on the reviews. Mom had a lovely time. Thank you Charcoal for a lovely, memorable day. Oh, and their donut dessert was amazing-we ordered one and then two!

I went to the Charcoal BYOB on Delaware Avenue in Yardley, PA today. I had the Au Poivre Cheese Steak (pictured below) with Sweet Potatoe Fries and followed that up with their signature Brioche Donuts. The food and service were great during a busy Saturday late lunch rush. We will be back again.

The ambiance is nice, we went for brunch and the place was packed, had to find parking on the street because the parking lot fills up very fast. Food was decent, nothing out of the ordinary and the price average as well. We were a large group but after paying (and leaving a nice tip) they pretty much kicked us out. So if you want to go catch up with friends or family you better make it quick.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a very long time. Our server Logan was so pleasant.

First time visiting Charcoal and won't be my last. Met up with a friend here today for lunch. We split the brioche donut, which was amazing! I ordered the fancy smash burger (the double) and my friend ordered the Korean fried chicken sandwich. My burger was incredible, one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time. My friend really enjoyed his chicken sandwich, says it was the perfect amount of heat. I'll be bringing my family back here soon so they can try or for themselves.
