Charlie's Coney Island - Gary

It's nice to go somewhere where they know how to put love in their food. And it's cool to see old pictures of African American heroes and heroines, and welcoming of those who can respect diversity. The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question ‘How can we eat?’ the second by the question ‘Why do we eat?’ and the third by the question ‘Where shall we have lunch?‘” Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Some want to move from survival to inquiry to sophistication quickly and don't really mind who's back they are going behind or toes they are stepping on, but this restaurant is respectful of others hunger, thinks freely, and is sophisticated in their love of their deep and awesome African heritage and folks of other classes and races.

Good hearty food. Got a skillet with all the toppings. The only knock I can say the eggs were bland but the protein definitely carried.

Awesome food. The staff are beautiful elder mothers that work together and provide services with love. They don't have a full staff and have a posted ad for help wanted, however with patients and available time, you will get your money worth. I've been there twice, and tipped twice and will do it again. I command good blessings on this business and staff.

I ordered 2 eggs over medium, bacon, hashbrowns, and white toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly as was the bacon and hashbrowns. It was delicious and ready quick. I will most definitely eat here again. Oh, and make sure you wear your mask when you go in, they enforce that. Enjoy!

Love love love it! Food is always made to order. Service is specific to the environment lol older ladies in the kitchen cooking ain't got time to hold your hand. Go in there, know what you want and be patient for that home cooked meal. My favorite breakfast spot in Gary
