7423 ON-26, Stayner, ON L0M 1S0, Canada
Family Restaurant serving All Day Breakfast to families. Specializing in breakfast we do serve lunch and dinner in the friendly town of Stayner.
The breakfast menu said there was a 40 Cent surcharge for marble rye. It was the best rye bread I've had in 50 years apparently they get it from their food supplier Gordon Foods
My first time here, will definitely go back. I was happy to find out when we arrived, they had all day breakfast. The home fries are absolutely amazing. The service, was speedy and it was a busy day. Our server was very attentive, and professional. Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu
Great vibe, great food and genuinely great service . The food was delicious and perfectly priced. I see myself being a regular here for Saturday brunch . Highly recommended!
Just pumping some tires. Great place to eat. Good selection for a typical breakfast place. Not sure why I had to zoom in so much for this place to pop up for me but maybe get on that google? Make them as visible as everyone else?
I have been to Charlie's twice with my mother as it is her favourite restaurant in Stayner. Very clean and well kept diner. Good fast service and amazing food with a good selection on the menu. Coffee is good (I had 3 cups) and they have an all-day breakfast. Prices are very reasonable. Friendly, personable wait staff. Highly recommend Charlie's.
Highly recommended! Heading towards the Scenic Caves, we felt so hungry that we needed to stop and eat! We were so lucky to find the Charlie's on the way! The food was fantastic and in enormous portions! Our picky eater son "Also" enjoyed the finger chicken there! We love the food and atmosphere here, and we definitely come back!
Stop by this gem on the way home from Honey Harbour. The restaurant was packed and the line up was out the door. The wait was about 15 mins.Very welcoming establishment with a clean environment and friendly faces. Service was quick and food came out fresh as could be. I had the burger with cheese: It was nice size (homemade) beef burger. The fries were an add-on but man were they crispy and tasty, similar to beach fries. Lastly, the side of gravy was so good it made me feel, like I should have ordered the hot turkey sandwich. Overall, exceptional restaurant with great people and fabulous food!
Great spot for breakfast and sandwiches/burgers. Somewhat limited menu, but food was really good and felt home-made. The place was clean and lots of parking spots. Would definitely come back and would recommend.
great breakfast options
Great place for breakfast. Pancakes are very good.
The eggs Benedict have are made with a mayonnaise sauce which is awful! Pancakes are great! Waitress forgot the coffee and side order and brought the wrong breakfast...and it wasnt a busy day
Great little place- good food, good service, mins from my home in Stayner. Loved our first visit!
Great for breakfast. Super friendly and fast service.
Just a dinner for a home cooked breakfast or lunch
Excellent steak and eggs
A true diner! Great service. Had the soup of the day .. cream of tomatoe. Probably the best soup Ive had in ages!!
First time here: great food great prices and a fun place to ppl watch
Made for those looking for deliciously fast service of a variety of traditional breakfast dishes at a reasonable price.
It is a great restaurant! Will definitely continue to stop by for breakfast on our way to the cabin. Really like Charlie, s
Best breakfast place around town friendly and speedy service with reasonable prices
Friendly staff, and good food, a winning combination!
The food was ok and the service ok.. I would try a different place when traveling through town again. Not bad but not great.
We go there from Wasaga to have the best breakfast around. Soon clean, friendly staff. Try the blueberry pancakes.
One of the staff was rude
Good burger. Not the best Benedict in town. Fairly busy. Food : 4/5
Really good food
Great food and great service
Wonderful breafast fast and friendly staff. Conveniently located off hwy 26. Great food and know its good with all the elderly patrons (that know a good breakfast joint)
Amazing place. The 3 of us had omelettes. They were amazing. Food : 5/5
Always a good visit/meal!
I have not had fries that yummy in decades!! The club house and western were good too.
I just adore this eatery. My friends and I meet up here quite often.
Have a hankering for a diner-style breakfast? Check this place out!
The steak is average, the brunch is delicious, the toast is super delicious and creamy
Eggs Benedict is the best i have ever had!!! You get a big portion of food for a really good price!!! And staff are very nice!!!! I highly recommend this place!
Great local diner with friendly service, fair prices and good food.
Love the breakfast here. They have the best pancakes!
Food is mid (bland), but they do have lots of different options.
Brown water for coffee, 2 large screened tvs playing news. Small area for a diner. Staff were lovely, attentive and quick w service. Food was bland, but came out quick. Its ok if you need to eat something.
The wonderful waitresses offer such a welcome for all and the food is so delicious. Charlie has created a fun and friendly place with delightful staff. Mckenzie and Emma and Amanda are so efficient too. Grest place .
Amazing food, good prices, big portions, great service!!!!!
Quick, simple, tasty egg breakfast.
Its my favourite after church brunch!! Really great food and service! Nice bright and clean.
Really good spot
It was closed for holiday
Wow what a great breakfast spot! Definitely coming back on my way to Wasaga Beach in the spring.
If you are up to be ignored this is the spot for you! Waitress filled sugar bowls rather than saying hello or grabbing us a drink. Left because not one person acknowledged us!
Great place for breakfast, had to ask 3 times over 20 min for syrup.
Best breakfast
Always great food and wonderful service!
Great spot to stop on the way today. Food was great and brought out fast and service was near perfect until the extremely large group came in. They were loud, obnoxious and their kids were just as bad standing in the way, yelling across the diner and so on. Our server didnt come back once to check on us or refill our waters. Would try them again when they arent swamped as I think they could do 5 star. But that group wasnt a good first try.
Been coming here from day 1 with my family. Food quality stayed the same and very good but the only thing and why I give a low rating is the service. Owners daughter very grumpy no people skills and puts staff down in front of staff. The father the other owner not so much in the restaurant anymore was very friendly and made me enjoy coming. Hire more people, treat them nice and maybe they will stay. Food on the other hand has always been amazing and also the prices.
Ordered takeout from here for the first time. I got a Western and Cobb Salad. The Western was filling for a sandwich, and it was one of the best I ve had! The Cobb salad was also excellent. A generous serving of all ingredients and a fair price. The best part about my experience was the genuinely friendly staff. From the lady on the phone who took my order, to the girl who gave me the food, the service was excellent! Vegetarian options: Lots Parking: Lots Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for all ages. Wheelchair accessibility: One floor
Best diner in stayner. Staff and service is amazing and the food is always good and quick.
Excellent food and in abundance. Reasonably priced.
Great food. Great price.
Charlies is a diner. It has the atmosphere of a diner. It has the waiter/waitress carrying the pot of coffee ready to top-up your cup. It also has extremely nice and attentive staff. It also has better food than most other restaurants around. The food quality is great. Dont expect gourmet food but its got amazing diner food. I recommend the banquet burger, reuben sandwich, and definitely the pouting.
Always a great meal at Charlies
Love my hot hamburger sandwich! Clean place - nice service - see you soon !
Friendly service and good food on the way to Blue Mountains. Opens at 7am, perfect spot for daytrips.
So delicious, fast service and friendly happy staff ! Awesome place for breakfast or lunch we got the breakfast sandwich on rye toast with bacon ,egg , cheese and avocado aswell as The Charlie Burger with a deep fried pickle on it Amazing, definitely go check them out
Charlies Diner is one of the best for brunch in surrounding area.Their homemade fries are perfectly sautéed amd delicious. Most of the iteam are made from scratch so you will the taste the authentic flavors.
Delicious
Amazing service, was greeted by a wonderful waitress, she suggested the hot turkey sandwich which was absolutely delicious.
Great food at great prices, and always great service.
Great breakfast - well prepared and service was excellent. Definitely worth the drive to Stayner for breakfast!! Parking: Right outside the restaurant
The food was fantastic. The service was great. Definitely our new favorite place. Thank you all!
Fast and friendly service, coffee served within minutes of being seated, breakfast done right. Our new go-to weekend breakfast joint when in the area.
Really good
Very nice place, cozy home cooked food
Friendly service
Well now finally found a place that s not a corporate store. Just a great breakfast at a great price. Really potatoes not deep fried eggs done by someone who cares about what they look like. Just a all around nice place to eat.
Passing through from Blue Mountain we found this little place. The best tasting breakfast we ve had at a diner. Had steak&eggs perfectly cooked steak, do they use farm eggs from the area? They were delicious!!! And the home fries with fried onions were sooo good!!! Coffee constantly topped up, very clean restaurant and great service. Our new favourite place when we head through this area again!!
Its a great breakfast place to go to. One of my go too. They are great at refilling the coffee. No need to ask. Great service and super friendly
Great food and service
A great place for a quick lunch. Food is good and plentiful, service is attentive and quick.
Amazing breakfast! Potatoes are delicious. Dont even need ketchup. Got a breakfast poutine. Gravy was perfect. Not over salted as some other gravies. And a pancake. Perfect texture. 100% recommend!
Late breakfeast it was fabulous. Service was timely. Food was tasty. Larger coffee mugs would be a good idea.
The fries were delicious, service was quick!
Best place around but can be hard to get in at rush hour
The food was great but a bit overpriced. No refills on drinks. Very clean and mediocre service.
Friendly and fast service. Will definitely be going back.
Food has never disappointed and staff are amazing and friendly!
Great little greasy spoon in Stayner. The prices are very low considering the quality. Two adults can get stuffed for $30. If you dont like onions, tell your waitstaff as the hashbrowns are covered in them.
Employee(busboy?)who took our drink order had ZERO personality and manners. My eggs were way undercooked. Potatoes were not hot. Chairs are in very very bad condition. Makes the place look bad on the whole. We wont be returning. Not worth the drive fr Collingwood
Great spot! Oasis for sure. We ordered breakfast special w pancakes. Coffee first LOL Parking free! Waitress, just what I expected, down home and friendly. See you here.
Busy . Servce was speedy, and the food order was perfectly delivered even with the specific changes to the menu. Smiles and eye contact was was appreciated. Will definitely be going back. Parking: Plenty of parking and easy access.
Fantastic! Breakfast was serviced fast. Cooked exactly the way we wanted it. Coffee and orange juice are delicious. Very well worth the money that we spent
Great breakfast. We are from Toronto and never had pancakes so good. Highly recommend it.
Amazing food! Huge pancakes!!!
Breakfast was very good, coffee not so much. Wed stop in again but they need to recover their benches.
Great avocado toast. Friendly staff
Stopped in for the first time and it wont be our last! Ruben was awesome and Hot Liver was excellent. Real mashed. Real gravy. Real veg. Wee bit skimpy on the onions but otherwise, the best I have had. Will come here again.
Enjoyed the grilled Reuben sandwich, and my lovely wife had the corned beef. Fries are crisp and hot. Good potion as we each took half our sandwich home. Atmosphere is ok, IMHO, a little too bright and kind of sterile. Fast and friendly service.
Love this place
Great breakfast spot. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Food : 5/5 |
Reuben is sublime. Worth the trip
Great Diner in town
Got sat in the back where we were forgotten about so we left. Tables around us were sat after us and were served 1st. Not even a Glance our way by the server. Do better in a small town.
Atmosphere is nothing to get excited about... but the food and the people who run it make it all worth while. Come in... you wont regret it.
We finally found the best place that serves the best eggs Benedict with the hollandaise sauce. A lot of other places cannot compare to the quality taste of this sauce. This sauce reminds us of a restaurant that we used to eat at when we used to live in the city. This is a must-taste. We now found our forever breakfast place.
This is a great Diner. Ive never been disappointed!!
Best fries hands down, breakfast is great but would pass on hash browns. Parking: Spots go around half the building Kid-friendliness: Highchair, and booster available. Coffee cups with lids and straws for kids drinks
Really enjoyed this diner, quick service, great hearty breakfast options! Will be back!
Was just there Sunday Dec 10th 2023 completely messed up my order and my wifes seen the sever once never seen her again food was not great never eaten an omelette that was dry before but they succeeded at doing that then we complained when leaving was not offered a discount or even an apology for any of the mistakes made will never eat there again
Unfortunately we just had the worst breakfast at Charlies diner in stayner :( we didnt get what we ordered, we were missing food and added ingredients, it wasnt cooked well at all, eggs dry, toast soggy and potatoes were hot yet not cooked. When we told the waitress she informed us there was no need to adjust our bill that it was correct. We ate two out of three meals, we will not return.
Amazing breakfast!
Sharlene will set you up she gave me great service the eggs Benedict was bomb would totally come again
Breakfast place in stayner good food fast service and prices well ok for small business
Always a great breakfast at great prices
Great place service is second to none food is amazing friendly staff clean place.
Perfect little dinner. Reminds me of the one from my hometown up in northern Ontario. Great service. Breakfast was fast and priced right.
Staff and food was awesome, avocado and toast with an egg
This is a nice clean restaurant. We had breakfast and it was quick and delicious.
Service was great, food was excellent and prices are very reasonable.
Great little diner! Excellent breakfast and friendly service!
Awesome food, and great staff! They were able to accommodate our group of 9 with no fuss, and the experience was excellent from start to finish! Definitely would recommend, and definitely will go back when Im next in the area.
Never disappoints
amazing
First time there, fair price but amazing friendly service and truly great breakfast, my compliments to the chef. Would travel to Charlies if was in the area for sure-Cheers...
Great food and people
Restaurant has the best food, the best service, and the best coffee. I am so happy I stumbled upon it. The owners are gems!
Excellent Food Excellent Service Great Experience
It has been 42 min since I ordered 2 pancakes and 2 French toasts and it has not arrived yet.
We are from Miami and chef guy, this was really good breakfast and all good but I have to put 4 stars reason, for tvs doesn t have Closed captions that s what important for deaf people who living here, I do support for deaf people who can read and fair human other each, hopefully in future we will back again if CC on then 5 stars !
We visited on a weekend in June nd had a great experience. Service was fast and friendly. The food was so so so so good. The hollandaise tasted homemade, the homefries were flavourful. They always made sure our coffee cups were full. You can tell this is a poplar spot with locals. I am looking forward to going again
Place had me in tears. Came by with a friend and was sent into a portal to a new zone of taste. It started with the coke in the tiny plastic cups, a normal fountain drink? NO! The taste of gods, but it didn t end there. My journey led me down the road of wanting to order a banquet burger. This may have been the single most impactful decision I ve ever made. After the first bite I knew I was eating something special. It felt like it slide down my throat cover everything on the way down in a layer of pure joy. I now drive from my home to Charlie s everyday just for the chance to feel like that again, fries were pretty good too.
What a great breakfast, the coffee strong and delicious The owner works there regularly and the staff quick and the coffee never ending! Most enjoyable, will be back for sure!
Best place in Simcoe County to get breakfast, no competition.
Vegetarian options: There are a few avocado options for vegans, as well as meat free options.
Great place to get some delicious breakfast and coffee.
Service was super slow. Never checked on us and the food tasted like a dirty grill. People were polite. Lots of people waiting for their meals.
So fast and super tasty!
Excellent and fast service
Friendly service good food.When you see many locals stopping by its a sign your doing everything right. It was recommended to us by a local regular customer. Try this dinner you wont be disappointed.
Great breakfast- busy but friendly fast service
I really enjoyed my meal, as did everyone in my group. Really like that they have all day breakfast. Although it was really busy the staff were all friendly, patient and efficient. My family loves this place! Food
Scrambled eggs nice and fluffy, peameal bacon nice and moist, many places cook to the point of drying out. Home fries properly cooked on the range and nicely seasoned with a bit of onion. Coffee refills offered without asking. Now the portions were a bit small but the price was low so all in all good value! I will be back. Edit: Been back several times and have only good news to report Great Staff... Good Food... Good Prices
Nice place, food good but service was very slow, so if youre not in a hurry all is good.
First time at Charlies. Big group of 17 of us. Service great, good great
Great food. Excellent personalized service.
Excellent food, great portions. The staff was extremely friend and my coffee cup was never empty. Parking: Great location on HWY26 in Stayner Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility parking and washroom.
Its a good place to pick up fast food
The Steak and Eggs were great, thanks again, nice, clean place
Had the eggs Benedict. It was amazing!
Was not open when I went there
Greatest chocolate milkshake in the world according to my wife, my niece and 11 year old son Jack. Cant wait for the Covid lockdown to end so we can order them again.
My girlfriend and I absolutely love this place! This is the best diner we have ever been to, easily. Best eggs benedict my girlfriend has ever had and its one of her favourite dishes, the hot turkey sandwich is fantastic. The owner is a lovely man with character and incredibly welcoming. We will back as soon as they re open.
Glad they are back
Excellent food, fabulous service, cozy atmosphere, highly recommend
Great local small town diner. Great food Great prices and amazing staff
The food was great and portions too! Fantastic service here too they really make you feel at home
This was my 1st time visiting...and it was busy, but the food was yummy. Ill be back!
Good food very clean
Great food, excellent service!!! Whether Im having the Eggs Benedict (done to perfection), Avocado Toast (so scrumptious), or the Rueben on Rye (delicious)! Never disappointed!!!
Great service! Best eggs Florentine Ive ever had.
Excellent food and service. Always on point!
BEST steak and eggs!!!
Great food great service
Great breakfast.
Great meals. Friendly staff.
Hubby and I had Philly cheesesteak- was absolutely delish. Had fries and Caesar salad which were also very yummy! Portions very generous (took home enough for lunch next day). Service excellent and diner including washrooms was spotless. We will be back.
Basic breakfast cooking but it is exactly what you are looking for from a diner type meal. Fast easy order over phone ready in a few minutes for takeout order.
Great
Stopped in for a Saturday morning breakfast and it was excellent. Nothing fancy, just good, standard diner fare at a reasonable price. My wife and I had the two egg breakfast (she had bacon, I went with sausage). She remarked that the bacon seemed really nice and thick and very tasty. We both enjoyed the homefries off the grill with onions. My daughter had a huge order of delicious chocolate chip pancakes. Service was bright, cheerful and really quick and prices were very fair. The man in the kitchen was very friendly and made a point of saying hello to guests through the order window. We wont hesitate to stop into this place again next time were in the area!
Always good food and great service.
Very clean, excellent food, friendly service.
