"The interior displays North Dakotah history. Black and white photos of time gone by adorn the walls. Historic buildings that may or may not be standing now, former floods, group photos of original homesteaders, the introduction of the wireless, etc. The wood laminate floors reflect the foot traffic over the years. They add to the vintage charm. The cafe tables are devoid of tech kiosks flooding the environs of upsell adds or games. There is actually room for your drinks and plates! I hope it stays this way. According to USA Today (circa unknown) Charlie's has the Best Hot Beef in North Dakota. Great! It is one of my staple menu items. Of course that's what I ordered. I have to say, if I could have my beef turn out 1/2 as tender, I'd make it at home more often. But such is not the case. The smooth gravy yelled "BEEF! It's whats for breakfast, lunch AND dinner!!", in my mouth. Soooo darn good!! The next time you find yourself in Minot, ND, head over to the historic downtown. You'll find Charlie's. Ask about their pie. They might have some. You should ask if they have any lefse. They won't but you can still ask."

"This breakfast place is so special. People are really nice. Service is really good. And the foods are amazing. It’s a must try when you visit Minot ND."

"I came in early Monday morning. Not a lot of places are open so early, especially in downtown Minot. The food was amazing, the service was great, and the prices are good for the amount of food your paying for. First time experiencing this place and I was not disappointed. Definitely plan on going again."

"Hands down best cafe breakfast in ND! I travel all over for work and this was by far the best chicken fried steak and homemade white gravy I ever had! Not to mention awesome service and great prices! I'm definitely stopping by every time I'm in Minot!"
