Cheap Charlie's

Wow, was recommended to try out Cheap Charlie's, that was several months ago. Regret not trying it sooner. Loved the place, cozy and comfortable, very friendly employees, and some of the best Cafe food I've tried. I would recommend it to anyone.

I love the small town diner feel of Cheap Charlie’s. It’s great they have survived downtown Rochester for decades, especially with mother Mayo gobbling up many of these establishments. Daily specials that are creative and delicious. If you are one that requires spotless, updated equipment/seating, this place is not for you. Pictured is a French toast sandwich.

First time here and let me just say, it was the best breakfast I’ve had thus far. The coffee was good and hot the food arrived in very fast unexpected manor and the owner was very pleasant and Kind. I will be returning After the 4th of July weekend. Thank you please don’t sell!!

Always delicious.... awesome old school diner atmosphere...cannot beat the prices anywhere. Staff/owners are kind and real ppl that take pride in what they do. A true staple to the area.

True family owned restaurant. One of few places open after a long night shift. The menu is full of great diner classics and fair priced. Also, this is huge for me, the food prep is consistent. You can be sure that you'll get the same good quality of menu items every time. Very fond of this place. If you show up early, the owners can chat with you and you'll gain an even greater appreciation for this business and it's food.

Nice staff, very accommodating of dietary restrictions with the chef coming out be sure that there weren't any mistakes. The portions were generous and the french toast was especially good. The coffee was only ok and the food a little under seasoned. This place is worth checking out especially at their prices.

This is a gem of a find right in the middle of Rochester. It looks pretty old from the outside. And on the inside. But that just adds to the charm. Their prices are low (as the name would imply) and the food was great. The waitress was really nice and took the time to tell us how old this place was. I had the Spanish Omelette and it really hit the spot. I'm not sure what kind of pig is on top of the restaurant (I am not a hog caller), but it does look well maintained.

Local hole in the wall offering usual cafe menu with a larger breakfast selection at reasonable prices. Counter seating with a handful of small tables inside and out. Looks to be more seating up a flight of stairs but we found a table outside. The Meat Lovers omelette look to be a 3 egg omelette with some chunks of ham, sausage and bacon fat. A slice of American Cheese was melted on top and a side of white or wheat toast came with it. Waitress was friendly but as soon as the food and the bill was served, nonexistent. Another waitress stopped and asked if we needed anything else. Place was doable and prices very reasonable. #philoffoodreviews
