    This is one of the two restaurants located in this lovely little oasis in the vast wilderness of Minnesota of off I94. We were passing through on a Sunday afternoon and decided to try this place out for lunch. This place is no more that you your typical small town restaurant but it seems to be very popular with the locals. the service was very flighty for lack of a better term. Our waitress forgot Lara's soup and her milk and the manager forgot to bring me my Heinz 57 steak sauce. I really did not need that sauce because the steak was actually a tasty cut of meat. My steak may have even been a local resident of the surrounding area before I ingested it. I am thinking my eggs may have been local at one point too as they seemed very fresh. My only complaint with the food was with my coffee and I can't really hold this against them. I think the water just tastes awful everywhere in southern Minnesota outside of Minneapolis.

    What a wonderful place this is. Like I was in her for their sunday brunch/lunch special right. And like it was all you can eat chicken and ribs, and stuffing, and mashed potatoes and bread. And like it was freaking delicious. And can you guess how much this feast cost me? it was 6.50, it was like a holiday miracle, but it wasn't a miracle. It was luck. And the ribs were smoked and so tasty. And like apparently it's like super well known, and was in National Geographic a while ago. But it was a pretty sweet stop along the highway.

    I sat at the counter (with its original boomerang Formica) and received water and a welcome right away. The egg salad sandwich was better than most; had a little zing to it, almost like there was pickle juice in the dressing (I didn't ask). Chicken and dumpling soup was fine for me but if you don't like things good and salty, this might not be the soup for you. Pumpkin pie was excellent. My waitress rendered lightning-fast, friendly service. I took a caramel roll to go which didn't make it home. I will absolutely stop again anytime I'm passing by Freeport!

    I like this place! Small town feel, good food and great service. Very reasonable prices and lots of American family restaurant menu choices. Only con, probably can't bring a huge group because it's a small place. Ordered a BLT salad, a ham dinner, side of fries, two coffees and a pop all for $18- that's a sweet deal. If I get a chance to go back, I'm ordering some of their pies... looked just like how grandma made them.

    Sometimes Freeport can just be a drive thorough town. It's just off the freeway between the Twin Cities and Alexandria. But time after time those big yellow signs just keep beckoning you in. Well, it is worth the stop. We swung in on a quite Thursday evening on the way to Fargo. I was hankering for some fried chicken and guess what the special was? That's right 1/4 chicken dinner for a measly $7.95. Both me and my wife ordered the special. It arrived quickly and was steaming hot. The chicken was deliciously crispy on the outside, while still nice and moist on the inside. I had the side of coleslaw which was just as good with a slightly sweet taste with little to no tang. Yummy! The fries (steak) were good, but nothing to brag about. Overall the service was homey and quaint. The food was delicious and prompt, and the cafe is just a perfect slice of small town america. Loved it!

    It might not be the best food you've ever had, but you won't have bad food here ever. That was clear to me before I even ordered. I've eaten at A LOT of small, main street diners trying to maintain yesteryear, mainly by looking like they haven't been cleaned since yesteryear. Charlie's is spotless. That's an appreciated attention to detail absent in too many establishments. I had the quarter chicken Thursday evening special, dark meat, salad, and baked potato. My son had the country fried steak breakfast (served all day) with hash browns and two eggs. There was plenty o room for greasy, and it just wasn't there. The chicken was nothing special. My son's breakfast though was nearly perfect -- perfectly cooked sunny side eggs, perfectly crisper hash browns. The real highlight was the pie-- pecan for him; coconut creme for me. Let's just say this: I'll stop at Charlie's anytime just for the pie. The coconut creme was high, tall, and firm with a marvelously browned meringue. The pecan wad good too. Don't miss this Minnesota classic stop.

    If you didn't have a calendar here, you'd never know what year it was. It reminded me of the cafe from In the Heat of the Night. It's just under 2 hours to Fargo. From now on I don't stop anywhere else on the way up or back. I enjoyed the breakfast skillet and a bite of caramel roll. But on the way back we stopped for pie. My choice was chocolate cream. At last, people in MN who know what it is. Not that french silk crap. A huge filled piece and the most tender traditional crust. Since I love German food I gotta get here some Wednesday evening just for that. A part of MN history.

    Great little small diner with truck parking (big deal to me) at the park right across the street. Super friendly staff and amazingly low prices. This is small town food lovin' at it's best. What a great vibe and excellent service.

    The Chicken soup was excellent. The steak was tender and service was perfect. Love the accent. You gotta stop by here. The pecan pie was wonderful and my son wolfed down the country fried steak. Great gravy. We will be back.

    If you are ever passing through in the afternoon and want a quick break. - and a piece of pie? Well this is your place. We passed on lunch after flying in from the west coast and were headed to Fargo. So this was a great afternoon snack. The blueberry pie was outstanding. I'm sure they all taste great. Very local. The farmers were everywhere. Go and enjoy.

    Charlie's is the place to go if you're looking for classic diner food. The waitstaff is pleasant and attentive and the food is always top notch. Try German night (Weds) or all you can eat fish (Fri) for a little variety or order a hearty breakfast which is served all day.
