Charlie's Cafe

We stopped at Cafe Charlie’s on a whim. The morning after our wedding driving through rural Minnesota we googled breakfast near me and this popped up. I am SO impressed. The omelettes were delicious, toast was perfect, hash browns were perfect, and of course the Carmel roll was on point. This place was CLEAN which for small town cafes was impressive. The ceiling, floors, everything was dust and grime free. The waitress was kind and did her job well. This place is a hidden gem.

Stopped by for a bite and my goodness was the food delicious! Got the smoked pork chop and it blew my mind away. Highly recommend eating here!

We loveee this place. We always stop for rolls on the way up to a cabin. But every time we go to the zoo we stop for a brunch too. Food is always 👏good. Staff is quick and nice and super great. Did I mention the rolls....stop and try it all you won't regret it! Good size portions of food for a decent price. Cute little restaurant.

I loved it. Fast service, great tasting burger and onion rings. I can't wait to go back.

EDIT: It’s 5 years later. Stopped in today. New management, same great food. I got country fried steak and some biscuits and gravy. Just wonderful as always. Spacious place, friendly staff. Good food. I’ll be back.

Great food, great atmosphere, classic small town cafe! I hope to be back soon!

I really liked Charlie's Cafe. The restaurant is kind of an old school diner vibe. I was REALLY impressed with how clean everything was and how well cared for this restaurant appears. The owners obviously take pride in this neat little cafe. The food was portioned well and was very good. It was also priced very reasonably. Last but not least, the staff, was very helpful and very friendly. Their back and forth banter with customers who were obviously "regulars", made me wish I was a "regular" too. I've driven past the Freeport exit for years and never knew what was there. Now that I do, I doubt there will be too many drives up north without a stop at Charlie's on the way.

Really liked this place. This quintessential small town diner has great food and service. Highly recommended!

Wonderful food. Perfect. Small town. No stress. Minnesota s. Finest

The $11 "Adult Mac and Cheese" was just a box of knock-off Kraft which quickly got cold! However, the staff were super nice and friendly.

Drove by the sign for Charlie's for 20 years. Finally pulled off to eat there and I was not disappointed. Very good California Buger and classic diner crinkle fries. Just a neat little stop. GREAT PRICES.
