Great place, great food, great service, everything was very pleasant, we often visit this place with my husband and are always satisfied, huge portions, thank you

been coming here since i was born im 23 now love this place for birthdays, dates, celebrations and basically anytime i want italian. I'm disappointed in the waiting staff there's one gentleman in particular who is always just so rude and in a rush to take my order or if we ask for ranch it's an eye roll or a sigh, we see him go to everyone else's table except our he completely ignores us i just think he doesn't like us at this point from now on asking for a different waiter

I'd always wanted to try the broasted chicken here, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The four of us visited on a recent Sunday to check out the brunch menu. Two of us ordered the chicken and waffles, which were absolutely delicious. Another friend enjoyed her breakfast burrito, but unfortunately, the pozole was quite bland and a letdown for our other friend. The broast chicken, however, was the star of the meal. It tasted like top-notch fried chicken but is uniquely pressure-cooked, which made it even better. I'd happily return for the chicken and am also curious to try their pasta dishes, especially the lasagna. Service was prompt, and our water glasses were refilled frequently, which was nice. Overall, I'd recommend sticking to the broasted chicken and steering clear of the pozole.

Came to Charlie's for a late lunch. This was a friend's recommendation who lives nearby. Their service is superb. My wine glass was never empty. The bread kept on coming and I felt like I was at home eating comfort food. I ordered the slow braised short ribs. The sauce was a bit salty, however, the ribs were very tender. My wife ordered the BBQ spare ribs. They were excellent and fall off the bone tender. Their fries are very tasty too. Their wine pours are very generous. I would definitely come back again. It's a winner.

Delicious Italian food. We have been going here since they started . They start you with complimentary fresh bread with olive oil and garlic. Their serving size are generous so you can share . Very delicious Italian food. Servers are attentive. Service is fast. The Diablo linguini I requested mild so it was the right level of spice. My husband had the Alfredo and finished it all. So it must be really delicious. We had dessert tiramisu and coffee. price is reasonable. It has lasted this long because it's good Italian good. parking is plenty beside the structure.

I Was specifically looking for a closer-to-SGV Los Angeles, CA., based local business to support today on 07/31/2024. I stumbled across 'Charlie's Trio,' last time I visited the area to 'Green Grocer,' along this block of local biz bordering South Pasadena, CA. I was glad I supported 'Charlie's Trio,' buying their House Brew coffee and Tiramisu. Ambiance: 5/5 restaurant is decorated with wall paintings: please consult my attached picture down below. Service: 5/5~Staff was very friendly and efficient: a waiter took me around their Take Out section which was next to their Sports Bar seating area. Please refer to my attached pictures for reference down below. Food: 5/5 I bought the Tiramisu (all gone in a flash) dessert and House Brew Regular coffee (yummm). Parking: free plaza parking available, but it's located inside a relatively small, privately restaurant owned lot. From Today's visit on 08/03/2024~Food: Broasted Chicken~4/5 a tad too well done but love the size Cole Slaw salad and potato wedges.....I'll have to switch this off to another different item next time Pizza~Got the Big Man Special~quite juicy, thick crust and can replace onions with bell pepper House Brew Coffee~superbly tastyyyy!!!! Yummmm I'll be back to try another dish during Happy Hour next time and keep getting their House Brew.

A cozy, family-friendly, full-service restaurant right in my neighborhood! My boyfriend and I always pass by Charlie's Trio on Hungtinton; we finally decided to try them out for a night. I always saw big families and groups coming out of this restaurant fully laughing and patting their stomachs and I totally get why now. The waitresses and waiters here are so friendly and welcoming. I went back and forth on different menu options and dessert choices and our waitress was so patient with me. My boyfriend and I got a Trio Combo to share, a Spaghetti, and Fettuccine to share. I couldn't finish my portion because it was so filling so we packed it up and got dessert to go with it too. Haha! Their carrot cake and tiramisu are top notch too! I was so happy and full exiting the restaurant and it reminded me of the countless people I've seen walking out rubbing their bellies haha, now I am one of them! Needless to say, my boyfriend and I will be back, possibly with more friends and family members too.

Decent pizza, good beer, great service = happy weeknight gathering. Our South Pas friends suggested Charlie's Trio as a place to eat dinner and hang out, so my wife and I came up from LBC on a Monday night and met as 3 couples around 6 pm. I'm always on the lookout for great pizza, and with the longevity of this location (since 1971!), was pretty confident that the food would be good. There were still parking spots in their private lot around 5:30, but could see how it would get full on busier nights. We needed to be a complete party before we could be seated, so hung out in the comfortable waiting area. There is decent indoor seating, and we were comfortably able to sit as a party of six, with the food being able to be reachable for all parties. It took our party a bit of time to coordinate our orders, but our waitress was very patient They have a very good selection of draft beers, but unfortunately don't do pitchers, so ended up ordering pints and became the biggest part of our bill (which probably explains why they don't do pitchers). The Ogopogo Boeman is a Belgian Wheat ($8) and was very easy to drink. The Fort Point Kolsh ($9) was refreshing, great with pizza. We also got a Baja Escorpion Negro ($9), which unfortunately didn't get a chance to sample, Appetizers was a large spinach salad ($14.25), which was excellent (I loved the vinaigrette, with large chunks of blue cheese and candied pecans). The Trio Combo ($19) included an OK fried mozzarella wedges, OK buffalo style chicken wings, and a really good deep fried squid rings. For pizzas, we got 2 14 inch hand tossed, signature crust pizzas: sausage ($19.25) and their famous Big Man ($26.25 for pepperoni, ham, mushroom, onion, green bell peppers, olive). They were OK, very similar to a lot of the hand tossed pizzas in the area. The dough was good, and the toppings were fresh...next time, I would try their thin crust version. There were enough food for leftovers. The night ended with a complementary slice of tiramisu, which was shared by everyone. We did miss happy hour (over at 6pm). They close at 9 pm, and our group ended up going past that, but we felt welcomed throughout our stay. Charlie's Trio is definitely a nice place to hang out.
