Absolutely a classic throw back to the 1940's. This is the kinda place your great grandmother and great grandfather went when they wanted a great breakfast. The food is good, the conversation is great when you sit at the counter seats. This place has timeless character.

I've been here a few times for breakfast. The omletes are outstanding. My date ordered one that had (get this) avocado in it! Unexpected for a "greasy spoon." Avoid the fried "pork roll" slice -- mine was tough as shoe leather, and tasted like it'd been rolled in salt. The eggs and 'taters were great.

A classic comfort food restaurant. Best omlettes in the area. Decor is rustic and some might say dirty, but the food is wonderful, cheap and service is friendly and quick. The cliental is eclectic, the Mayor, doctors, lawyers, retirees and those less fortunate all come for the wonderful food and friendly atmosphere.

Grab a coveted counter seat and mentally prepare for one of Norfolk's best omelettes at this daytime dive.

The Scene
The sign outside this hole-in-the-wall breakfast and lunch spot reads, ""Swanky Franky Famous Hot Dogs."" But for longer than most can remember, it's been Charlie's Cafe....

I love this place. Friendly staff, excellently prepared classic food, and always really good music. Whenever I'm post-call or night shift, this is where I get a comforting filling breakfast. Sitting at the counter is cool because you get to watch Tracy work his magic on your eggs, so there's even a show! …

My partner and I went for breakfast on July 4th, and we had a good time.
There is patio seating, which is very nice. Less cramped than the indoor seating.
Very friendly service, but it seemed like our server was overwhelmed. I don't want to...

Business description (4)

I had been a customer since Charlie Ellison was the owner with his mother Gladys. I am still working to keep Charlie's a local independent favorite. We appreciate our customers that continue to support us and help keep a Norfolk institution going strong.

Charlie's is a local, independent cafe that serves a wide variety of breakfast items (including yummy omelets), lunch items, vegetarian selections, a kid's menu, and also serves adult beverages.

A perfect little diner. Known for it's omelets, you can even try to answer the Killer Omelet Challenge: a dozen egg mom's omelet with their famous habanero salsa and a stack of 8 Charlie's Pancakes. In addition to Charlie's Cafe footing the bill, you get a t-shirt if you're able to finish it all in an hour, provided you don't leave your seat. Also, if you're a vegetarian, you will fit right at...

Charlie`s Café is a leisure place that serves up American. Expect the average entrée to cost under $8.
