Great view !…service a little a little slow
Prime location with beautiful interiors. Appetizers were really good but I wouldn’t recommend their jackfruit plant based tacos for someone who enjoys more taste on their palate.
Always fun and a nice atmosphere. Food and wine was great
Nice patio with view of the ocean. Funky decor inside and interesting/eclectic menu.
Great patio on a nice day. Friendly staff and good food. I would change the reservation system to reflect the inability to specify indoor or outdoor at lunch time as apparently that is against company policy. Luckily was not an issue for us.
I was surprised at the (lack of) service this time. We were seated at a dirty table and left there for over 5 minutes while staff went back and forth by our table. We used to get awesome service here. Food and drinks were good, though. I still like this place and would go back. Maybe an off night for them.
Great first time experience will definitely return
We drove 45 minutes for the Charlie Burger. Amazing as always. Service was quick and super friendly.
Food and service was great!
Overall great experience like always!
Charlie don’t surf is a favourite of ours! Amazing food, amazing views, and all reasonably priced!
Starter and mains meal sizes were large, and the Seafood penne with garlic cream sauce was AMAZING. Awesome funky little restaurant
Loved the vintage vibes of the interior decor. We ordered some delicious dishes… 1.) Grilled Salmon Bowl (4/5) 2.) Mojito and Margarita (3.5/5) 3.) Beach Salad (3.5/5) Definitely recommend for a younger crowd as well!
Good location if you get a spot outside. Good food but pricey for what you get. Had a reservation but felt like we were just shoved in an awkward corner. Strange mishmash decor.
Good food as always with large portions … enough that we all had leftovers the next day. Very accommodating with allergy concerns. Would recommend the Jambalaya and Fisherman’s Hot Pot according to the kids. Service was attentive without being bothersome. Food came promptly but we did not feel rushed.
Food was amazing and our waiter was great! Highly recommend the Charlie burger.
Delicious calamari and hot wings. Yummy!!! Definitely would fo back
I did not get what I ordered. The food was awful could have made better at home.
Good food and friendly service
Charlie Don’t Surf is a great funky local restaurant on the White Rock waterfront. Front tables and the deck have a fantastic view over the water. Food is typically not fancy but is varied and very good. Servers are generally young, enthusiastic, and friendly. It’s worth a visit.
This was our first time here and it was an amazing place to enjoy our time in White Rock. We sat on the patio and enjoyed every single thing. Great food, helpful servers. We’ll be back again for sure!
