Charlie’s Beach House

I had noted that the reviews for this restaurant were a mixed bag; the food is great but the service can be poor.
Impressed by the fantastic choice of German beers, the 18 hour smoked Brisket and the lovely casual vibe, having earlier popped in for a late afternoon drink, we decided to give it a go.
The food coming out to other tables looked really good and then we noticed people who had arrived after us were receiving their meals before us . We chased our waiter a couple of times and was told the food is on its way before finally they admitted they lost our docket. After that it still took an unacceptable amount of time for our meals to arrive.

All up we waited 1 hour 20 mins .

When I paid the bill the owner/chef did come out to apologise but I was some what surprised he did not offer to take a couple of drinks off the bill.

Yes the food was good but I guess with this place it’s a question of do you feel lucky.

Lovely place, directly on the beach, live music, good food and drinks

Prachtige plek aan het mooie strand. Gezellig overdekt terras. Alhoewel de bediening erg vriendelijk was, waren ze niet erg attent. Zeer lange wachttijd op ons hoofdgerecht (>> 1 uur). Niemand kwam ons informeren, er werd geen drankje aangeboden. We moesten zelf gaan vragen om een 2e drankje te bestellen. Eten was erg lekker, maar de lange wachttijd domineert onze herinnering helaas.

Loved the food and coffee. The lady who served us was super friendly. The view was amazing and relaxing

A great selection of food, wine and cocktails. Everything we had was delicious.

Loved it. We’ve been traveling up the East coast for a week and this is easily the best food we have had. Friendly service, good beer and wine list. Good vegetarian options. Tagliatelle was excellent. It was dark when we ate so god knows how much better it would be in the sun. Thanks!

Good gelato but not much range.

Poor customer service we had to wait several minutes to be sighted after numerous waitresses ignored us . Good but pricy seafood but pasta a bit bland and not a good match for the seafood as no lemon notes. No protection from sea breezes made it an uncomfortable sitting. Charged 15 % surcharge for a Sunday which was excessive given the poor customer service

Charlie and the team were welcoming and relaxed. The brisket nachos were perfect! Coffee the next morning was really good!

went there yesterday with my GF and had the best food we've had in australia so far. The eggplant schnitzel is really good as well as the coffee.

Had a lovely lunch at Charlie’s beach house great cocktail and beautiful food from fresh prawns to delicious German beers and sausage platter would highly recommended this place

Excellent, the food was top notch as well as the service. Great location on the beach and terrific live music, highly recommend you give it a try if you’re in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

Sorry no pic, I cleaned the plate 😉

Popped in on a rainy Sunday for a coffee, out of the rain with our dog, stayed for hours. Fabulous spot next to awesome beach, great menu, winelist and music - very relaxing and great service from friendly staff. Great dog friendly spot with great views away from the construction work.

Outstanding service and food and passionate about food owner.
