Charlie's of Lincroft

“Went for Dinner at a High Top in the Bar Area... Service was right on point! The Smoked Pastrami Ribs as an appetizer was tender and full of smokey flavor. Main was short ribs with a demiglaze was perfect.”

“We had an incredible experience from start to finish. We started with the warm feta dip, which was amazing, and shared a hot honey pepperoni pizza that was perfectly cooked with the right amount of heat and sweetness. The Caesar salad, fall salad, and winter apple wedge salad were all fresh and flavorful, each with its own unique twist. I ordered the short rib, which was tender and delicious, and enjoyed a Prancing Poinsettia cocktail that was absolutely perfect. Great friends, terrific ambiance, excellent food and cocktails — it all came together for an unforgettable night. This is a place we’ll always go back to. 🍹🧡”

“Hosted a wonderful baby shower for my daughter in the beautifully decorated wine room. All of our guests remarked about how festive and cozy the room looked and how much they enjoyed the menu selections and bar service. I want to add that it was a pleasure working with Corey, the catering manager from start to finish. Thanks also to our food service coordinator, also named Corey, and to Raoul who took great care of bar requests and made great espresso martinis. Cheers to all the staff at Charlie’s for making this day so special for my daughter, our family and friends”

“First of all, the Christmas decorations were beautiful and the carolers were such a lovely touch. The Prancing Poinsetta cocktail was perfect for those of us who love sweet drinks. We ordered the calamari, French onion soup, Charlie burger, spicy vodka gnocchi, and a side of macaroni and cheese. Nearly everything was delicious, but the burger was disappointing. The patty was very thick, so there was too much meat compared to the bun and the chipotle ranch had an odd consistency and not much taste, so the burger was pretty bland compared to the rest of our food, which was SO flavorful. The fries were addictive though. Our server was so lovely and attentive, and her hospitality really warrants mentioning. I would still highly recommend visiting Charlie’s for the food, drinks, and atmosphere; just skip the burger.”

“I booked the restaurant for an event, so this review is for events only. I will start by saying that the wait staff and bartender who worked the event were excellent! They were helpful and attentive throughout. My primary issue was while planning the event with the coordinator. First, I was told that I was not allowed to bring in any desserts unless they were individually wrapped for people to take home. While I understand the desire to upsell on dessert by having us purchase in house, this limits us to only what the vendor supplies. Second, On the day of the event, the table set up was extremely tight. We have four tables that were placed back to back which made it difficult for people to get in and out. We asked about changing them and We were told they had to be placed like this so that they had access to the wine cabinets, which seems quite odd that they were going to come into the event to get wine. Also, the coordinator didn’t even come at the end of the event to see how everything went. My major issue though was during the food planning. We were originally going to do the buffet, which comes with a pasta course. I inquired about having an separate option that a vegetarian could order to which I was told, “well they have the pasta.” So everyone else gets a main dish and a vegetarian just gets more pasta. When we switched to a plated meal instead I asked again about a vegetarian option like eggplant or something and again was told they would just do pasta with veggies. I know not all restaurants have vegetarian options which I find crazy in 2026, but to host events and basically say that everyone else can have a protein but a vegetarian just gets carbs and veggies isn’t acceptable. I just found the venue to be very unaccommodating and I wouldn’t choose to host another event there.”
