Charlie's Grind & Grill

The atmosphere inside is like a sports bar but its really not. But I like it though. We grabbed reverse wings and fries with cheese and jalapeno! Reverse wings with hot dip tastes awesome with those crisp texture. Fries is the best! The combination of cheese, jalapeno and fries is just perfect!

Great burgers and hotdogs. A bit pricey but worth it as they have big Angus burgers and large sausages. The fries are freshly cut potatoes. The chicken wings was also great.

Excellent food. I ordered a cheese steak sandwich and fish and chips, and both were worth the buck. While I don't believe the beef they sell in the sandwich is actually "wagyu", the taste is still superb, and I would definitely buy it again if I go back. On the other hand, the fish and chips were just cooked to perfection, on top of its generous servings. I am just not a fan of the interiors. Maybe it's just me, but nah, just not my type.

One of the best burgers in town. Always fresh. Tried the wagyu cheese steak. Soooo goooood. New offerings within is the bagnet pares, corn dog stall and pizzeria. Will try them next time.

the wings taste just like when I last ate here more than 12 years ago! This is a good thing. Their blue cheese dip is also great you can really taste it and you know it’s in there. The chili cheese fries were also good. They were generous for both chili and cheese and the fries were well seasoned. The chili is actually chili so that was good. The corn dogs were ok, di lang ako nasulitan and their batter could use improvement but I appreciate how itself homemade di siya tipong galing sa frozen section na corndog Charlie’s itself doesn’t have AC but we were encouraged to eat inside their adjacent resto so all good! Maybe they’re sister restos. Not too picky with the atmosphere as long as I’m comfortable (AC) and there’s enough space for eating so all good for me :)

I liked their juicy, thick burger patties & camote fries. We had Angus Cheeseburger & Wagyu Cheeseburger (P250 each). Burgers were filling & serving of fries was good to share. Right beside a car wash so you may have their awesome burgers while car's being cleaned.

Offers wide variety of delicious and healthy burger tandem with fries. Great service, place is clean and cozy. Highly recommended!

Great place to have a snack while waiting on the car wash. It has downgraded from what it was before and now shares the spot with a few other restaurants. They allow cross orders and inter-seating. Angus burger is really good. Fries lacked a bit salt. Not much variety on the menu.

This unassuming hole in the wall place surprisingly have great burgers! As a bonus, next door is a car wash, so drop your car off while you eat. The best thing about that, is you don't have to worry about parking, as most locals and ex-pats know is a challenge in Manila. Charlie's is the next best thing in the Philippines, as I was missing In N Out Burger.

Finally tried the burgers and milkshakes from Charlie's. The burger patty is real juicy and it best paired with their truffle fries.

Whenever we get burger cravings, Charlie's is the first thing that comes to mind! The burgers are tender and juicy; the fries are cooked just right. Carlo's favorites are the Bacon Wagyu Cheeseburger and the Double Black Angus Cheeseburger. Actually, anything burger! You can't miss Charlie's because it is next to a car wash. The downside is that parking is quite a challenge. So, be prepared to park far and walk to Charlie's. Best to go here during non-peak hours: after lunch and merienda time. My favorites from their sandwiches/burgers menu is the Pulled Pork sandwich and the Black Angus Cheeseburger with Shrooms. The Shroom is a cheese stuffed Portabello Mushroom. So good! I also recommend the Snapdawgs, wings and fries! I go for the Naked with Sauerkraut and the Reuben Dawg. For the wings, I always order the Reversed Buffalo Wings! For the fries, you must order the Sweet Potato Fries, Black Truffle Fries, Animal Fries, and Dirty Fries. Basically, this is an awesome place to eat and drink with friends! They also have a good selection of beers and milkshakes! But, their Charlie's Iced Tea is also very good! :D

I first heard of Charlie's when I was called for a meeting by one of my bands and they wanted to have some burgers. So I was like, "okay, burgers, whatever." I was awkward at first because there was a carwash right beside it, but at night it's fine. It's not so noisy and busy so you can focus on your food and not worry that any soap dud will fly to your burger. My favorite branch became the one right beside Uncle Moe's. This one is the branch in East Kapitolyo. It's nice and quiet and years back, a lot of long boarders would skate on the street. It can get difficult to park, but when you're craving, there are no boundaries. I usually order their Angus burger which seems boring compared to all their other burgers, but when I'm hungry, I can finish two of them. I don't know, I guess I just fell in love with it. Sometimes I would match it with a Salted Caramel Milkshake, but most days I like to pair it with a beer. They have different beers both local and foreign. So just take your pick. If you're not up for a burger though, I would suggest that you order some buffalo wings, how spicy you want it is up to you, but I promise that the punyeta sauce is only for the adventurous. Also, don't forget to get a siding of dirty fries and for sure, you'll be leaving Charlie's with a little food baby bump.

Charlie's will always be one of my go-to places for great burgers and beer. Their buffalo wings are also a must-try. Their branch at Kapitolyo is conveniently placed near Shaw Boulevard so getting there is not a hassle. Besides their burgers, I also would highly recommend their breakfast menu (especially the buttermilk pancakes). Their branch has a cable TV so I get to watch movies while dining in. They also have a carwash beside the restaurant so it might be a good idea also to have your car washed while dining in at Charlie's. I would definitely come back to this restaurant as much as I can when I'm in the area. :)

One of the best burgers I've ever tasted. They have wagyu beef burger with whole portabello which is my favorite along with some blue cheese dressing.

Charlie's has been a neighborhood favorite since it opened several years ago. I would say that it was the restaurant that launched Kapitolyo as a food hub in recent years. Situated beside a carwash, it seems like an unlikely location for quality food. Famous for their Black Angus Cheeseburger, they have thought of everything else that could complement their superstar dish. Although, more than the burgers, I'm a bigger fan of their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich (sized Hungry) -- gooey and stuffed to death with beef. And I can honestly credit Charlie's for my buffalo wings obsession; because I like theirs so much, I've made them my benchmark for a good wing recipe. Both sour and spicy (with varying levels of spice), accompanied by a basket of carrots and celery, and the perfect bleu cheese dressing, it is not for the faint of heart. If you are feeling adventurous, you could have it inverted: the wings can be covered in bleu cheese dressing, and accompanied by the buffalo sauce on the side. A little pricey (approximately, at least P300/person), it is worth every centavo, and every calorie.

My first time at Charlie's Grind and Grill was after high school graduation. My school's near SM Megamall, so most people went there, but my family and I decided to hit Kapitolyo in hopes of avoiding the crowd and getting a quiet meal. Our prayers were answered - Charlie's was about half full of people which was more than alright considering how it was Saturday lunch and I expected it to be full. I actually didn't know we had found Charlie's; I thought it was just a humble burger joint that happened to be behind a car wash. I had the bacon wagyu cheeseburger and it was the bomb! It was a little messy to eat, and I was partly at fault for experimenting with the different sauces and condiments they offered, but it was so worth it. If I do come back with friends I'll have to save up though, because I don't think I saw any burgers under P200.

Simple, fresh, the best Yes, I think Charlie's by far serves the best burgers in the metro. It is proven by this establishment that location is nothing and that it's great food that matters. Located next to a carwash Charlie's isn't exactly the ideal burger place but don't be fooled by where it's at it's the burgers that'll do all the talking and will make you come back for more...and more. Charlie's has a wide range of classic bar chow like wings, fish and chips, roast beef sandwiches and the like but it's their burgers they're famous for. Made it order, incredibly juicy and tender this is a treat for all meat lovers. Another great thing about their burgers is that they use potato to make their buns making them extra soft on the inside but grilled so they remain crunchy when you first bite in. I find there are only a few really good burger joints in the Metro that really pay attention to the quality of their ingredients and Charlie's to me is definitely number 1.

When the owner and chef of your favorite restaurant opens another restaurant, you're sure to like it. Despite having a different concept, I knew I had to try Charlie's and make the trip to Kapitolyo. Situated beside a car wash, with only a thick sheet of plastic separating the als fresco dining area and the foam and spray of water, one may be wary of eating at Charlie's. However, this is the charm of it for some. We went there and timed it for a car wash to make ourselves more efficient. But because it was the height of the afternoon heat, we decided to grab a table in the air-conditioned area. I got the lettuce wrapped wagyu cheeseburger mainly because it was interesting. At PhP265, it was good and I liked that it wasn't too heavy - I guess because it didn't have the bun that usually makes me feel bloated (I know, pretty weird). Oddly enough, I ordered a very filling milkshake which totally offset the calories I saved with the burger buns. I also tried a piece of the buffalo wings that my friend ordered and liked the semi spicy sauce. Overall, I wouldn't mind heading back to Charlie's, not just for a carwash, but for a bite as well.

Charlie's Grind and Grill, or as they call it, Charlie's, is a little different from your usual burger joint. Aside from the fact that it's situated just beside a car wash business, its inside is unassuming, no frills and thrills, just made up of a few tables and chairs and dim lighting. But don't let that fool you. Menu is packed with burgers, fries and everything nice. Whenever I have a craving for burger, Charlie's is always the first on my mind. Black angus burger for the win! They serve no bs burgers, like the artisinal ones (sorry! I love my burgers old style). And I pair it with their spicy chicken wings. TYou got to try the aioli sauce on the wings and burger. The condiments are so good! And if you're looking for thick cut fries, Charlie's got it too. Chili and cheese friesssss. Huhu. I want one now.

Used to be the best place for wings around 5 years ago, but the competition has grown and their prices have steeply risen. Nevertheless, it can still serve some impressive wings, burgers, and shakes. Sweet Potato Fries will always be something to come back for.

It started at a carwash. In our college days we used to all hitch a ride with whoever had brought a car and make our way to what is now known as Kapitolyo. Kapitolyo: the foodie haven of the Ortigas / Pasig area. A place where aspiring chefs and entrepreneurs can set up shop and see if the market likes their products. It's a place to try out new food for affordable prices. It a place where you don't have to follow the norms of having a nice posh restaurant in the mall but instead offer a more unique hole-in-the-wall kind of experience for the hungry and the adventurous. Once we would get to Charlie's, we would order some Black Angus Cheese Burgers, add some Black Truffle Fries, maybe a Snap Dawg and some wings. We would stuff our faces like our metabolism had no limits and like weight gain wasn't something real. Those were the college days when we felt almost immortal regardless of what we ate and how much we ate. If only we could eat like that again, I'd be sitting down there in Charlie's with a burger in hand and some burger juice and sauce running down my fingers. The game is changing nowadays with aspiring restaurants serving more innovative things with interiors to match a vibe that would get every youngster and yuppie whipping out their phones just to snap some photos for their Instagram. There are more burger joints now and they have to be able to serve some beer. But let's thank Charlie's; it all started here at a carwash where the original branch of Charlie's first opened. More restaurants have popped up and continue to pop up in Kapitolyo thanks to the success of Charlie's. They after all, showed that it is possible to open something so delicious outside of the mall and that people will come back regardless of location as long as the food is delicious.

I find burgers to be very regular and boring since there are so many burger joints out there but I think that Charlie's is one of the few exceptions. I only enjoy burgers from three places and this is one of them! I just absolutely love their Black Angus Burger with fries. I've tried other things in their menu like the Fish and Chips, Wings, and Clam Chowder. All of them were good but it's definitely the burger that keeps me coming back. The beef patty is cooked medium rare and it's just so juicy and tender. The sesame bun is lightly toasted and it just gives that little crunch as you bite into the whole thing. They chose good cheese to go with it too! I always have to get the fries on the side too. The thick cuts of potato are just so good and well-seasoned. Merely thinking about it is just making my mouth water. I just love Charlie's burgers! Everyone should definitely try it if they haven't!
