Charlies of Bay Head Reviews
First time here after hearing really good reviews.
Parking was down the street in a lot and we didn't have a hard time but we went mid week and on the early side I can imagine it would be pretty brutal later on or on the weekends. The place is beautiful when you walk inside. Really nice bar area
I am very disappointed.
I have always loved Charlie's. Especially the atmosphere. I went there for my anniversary. Had a $300 dinner and both meals the meat was over cooked. We mentioned to the waitress stating we don't want another steak but just to be aware. I
We have been supporting this place for many years .
Their breakfast menu has everything from egg dishes , pancakes to bakery good ! Fresh breads and many different ones to choose from Crumb cakes, Donuts and pies are all delicious! I love the outside market with fresh fruit and vegetables and homem
Server was wonderful! (Tara)food was not.
Martini was not cold, food was awful. Lamb chops were truly bad. Halibut was good. Nothing special about this place.. we keep trying it because it's close, but that's it. So many better places around.

The food and wait staff were wonderful, above and beyond, however, the General Manager, Cory, should be replaced. He was rude and defensive. We were attending an event on the 2nd floor and arrived early so sat at the bar for a cocktail. I gave th

Tasty in Bay Head
Charlies of Bay Head is a very good restaurant. I had dinner there last night and the salmon was very tasty. The service was very attentive. I suggest going there during the week as I understand that the restaurant can be very crowded on weekends. P

Over priced and overrated.
Cocktails were average, fish dinner(cod) priced at. $42? Not sure what's going on with the astroturf on the ground level... our experience was really very average.

I am giving this 5 stars because it is an excellent place to eat for tiny shore town. Charlie's is a bit loud for me and I have seen celebrities here which is reason for me not to go. The food is very good, drinks are very good, service is always goo

I visited Charlie's of Bay Head and the aesthetic was beautiful. It's a very beautiful restaurant. The food was good. The menu has many seafood and American food options. There is a large drink menu. I had a crab cakes sandwich and it was delicious.

Lovely evening with 3 friends.
Decor was tasteful, noise level was reasonable, service was a bit slow, wait staff was friendly & knowledgeable. I had two appetizers, the Asian salad was excellent and elevated, however the lolly-pop lamb chops were very over cooked. No pink

Resting on Their Laurels

Horrible customer service by General Manager Cory
We have been going to Charlie’s of Bay Head since the third night it opened back in 2017. We usually go on average once a week and sometimes twice a week during the summer and make special trips down the shore in the winter just to go to Charlie’

Good food and drinks but just too damn loud.
Had to scream over the table next to us to have a conversation. Service was excellent.
Not Impressed
We made reservations about 6 weeks in advance and we were excited to try this place. We are locals so Charle's has a reputation for being a fine dining restaurant in the area. As soon as we walked in we were scowled at by 3 young hostesses. They voca

Connect with users posting reservations for Charlies of Bay Head
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Charlies of Bay Head. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Charlies of Bay Head at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Charlies of Bay Head page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Charlies of Bay Head to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Charlies of Bay Head!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
