Charlie's Chili - Newport Beach

Clam chowder was really good. I would definitely return for more chowder. I didn't like the garlic toast.

Honestly I wasn't impressed with the food.It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Had the country fried steak and eggs. The steak was obviously purchased prebreaded and dropped into the deep fryer. The gravy was made from powdered mix. The Biscuit was as hard as a rock. Eggs were goodFood: 3/5

So so enjoyed this place from the large and delicious tuna melts to the humongous yummy onion rings to the wonderful music and the very nice waitress!!!

Ok food. Large portions. Good service. Great location. Difficult and costly parking. Reasonable pieces. Nice atmosphere. A place I'd eat at often if I was a hungry student.Food: 3/5

The restaurant is located by the pier of Newport Beach. Parking either on the street or beach parking. I tried both the chili and new england clam chowder. They have xsmall size which I thought was perfect for those of us who eat with our eyes and want to sample without overstuffing haha. Also got the fish n chips. Plenty of crispy fries which I also dipped into my chili for my own chili cheese fries. The fish was perfectly crispy. It was also supposed to come with cole slaw per the menu bur I guess I ordered too much food because both the restaurant and myself forgot about it. My friend ordered a salad along with a bowl of chili and cornbread. I tried the cornbread. Very good. The husband ordered french toast which was also good.The waitress was very friendly and attentive coming every now and then to check on us.
