charlie & jake's bar-b-que

recent celebratory dinner. took our granddaughter for dinner after her first dance recital. erin was amazing - she made sure our granddaughter felt like a "queen"! erin made great suggestions for desserts too! molten lava cake, red velvet and the newest cake - that tasted just like a dreamsicle! thank you again erin - you really made our night!

we have been going to charlie and jake's beachside for many years. the food is consist, always good, and generous portions. on our most recent trip, we had a superb server named taylor who was super friendly & provided exceptional service! not only is their barbecue wonderful but their country vegetables are always a hit!

had a very late dinner at charlie and jake's. arrived 15 minutes before closing and was greeted cheerfully. service was extremely fast, food was terrific. asked for coffee and was told in a very pleasant manner, that it would be a few minutes, as they were brewing a fresh pot. i thought that was very impressive, as they were closing shortly. taylor, our waitress, certainly did a good job of making us feel welcome. will definely return.

may 17, 2013. you always get a smiling face serving you, and the food is wonderful.
ask for taylor!
;^)

great place, good bbq and the service provided by taylor was outstanding . we'll be back

great service! we always try and get taylor. she is one of the best waitress' we've ever had. the food at charlie and jakes is never a disappointment. it keeps us coming back. tonight the ribs were so tended and full of flavor. the meat literally fell off the none.

best fried chicken in brevard. go thursday and get the fried chicken. c&j's has been the same for many moons; good, consistent cheap bbq.

dinner. great food!
service was great, our waitress taylor was very nice.

the bbq is spot on! try the pulled pork sandwich now! the best part is the atmosphere, which is created by the amazing staff!! the lynchpin of this staff is taylor!! taylor is no doubt the greatest waitress off all time!!

charlie & jake's - great place to eat. at least twice a month, i drive thru charlie & jake's in ihb. debbie is usually at the window and always greets me with a smile and if i remembered to call my order in ahead of time - everything is ready to go. we love everything on the menu, but are especially fond of their butterfly fried shrimp. the service is always great, the food fantastic, the order correct, and the service time fast. we love charlie & jake's! they are warm & welcoming. treat you like family and make you want to come back!

amazing bbq, rivals the best. if you blink on your way to the beach, you might just miss the best bbq experience of your life. like the great bbq places sprinkled throughout the country, (like sweatman's in sc, lexington bbq, in e. nc, winks in w. nc,) this gem sits on on the side of road with a drive thru that makes it suggest that it is some plain, boring fast-food joint. this could be nothing further from the truth! pull up on the side, and sneak a peek of the massive smokers and the pile of fresh cut wood....this is where the true pittmaster does his work. whoever is running this joint, has it figured out....because this is, hands-down, some of the best bbq in the country. i happened upon it by the recommendation of a friend of friend who said this was a must stop for bbq. boy was he right! i came in right about lunch time and there was a small wait for a table....not a big deal. i grabbed a sam adams seasonal on draft, and watched a little sportscenter while i stood and waited, and the smells that were coming out this place made my mouth water like crazy! my waitress was amazing (and pretty good looking which is always a nice plus :0), and i went with her suggestion for the pulled pork sandwich on texas toast. it came with 2 sides, ...i could not resist the baked beans and fried pickles.....and i started with some hushpuppies which were golden brown and perfect...oh yeah, and the corn....so delish! but the bbq.....good grief was it some of the best i have ever had ....(i don't mean to keep repeating it....but it really is that good)! the pork had an intense flavor, and my sandwich had those beautiful crusty caramelized pieces that were so good which are rare to find sometimes, but the waitress assured me that they are in every meal ordered!
the place is quaint and small with a nice patio. you can't beat the price.... i was in and out for under $20. if you find yourself in the area this is a must stop!!!!

please note: boy did i make this mistake....there is another charlie and jake's and i stopped on my way out of town, and boy did i make a mistake. this is a brewery that apparently is not associated with my mouth-watering, pulled pork caramelized delicousness......this place puts the focus on the beer and not the meat, and i was really let down at the dry, "not as good as the other charlie and jake's" bbq that i had the day prior. :0( boo....so don't make the same mistake i made. if you are looking for the brewery it is on the other side of town. if you are looking for one of the best bbq experiences of a lifetime... "get it right" as they say and get to charlie and jake's beachside!

recent dinner. a great place for dinner or lunch. food is very good and service is very cheerful and efficient. never had a bad meal or unpleasant waitress.

good food good service thanks taylor!

pros- the catfish, ribs, cole slaw and fries were good so was the service. cons-the greens taste like they came from a can. hush puppies were a bit tuff. i would rate it a 7 out 10.

wonderful baby backs on the saturday night we were there, as well as good, smoky bbq pulled pork salad. all was very fresh, tea was good, and service was outstanding. great find!
