How Is It Already Halloween?! Skully, Holiday Parties & All Things Charley's

Didn't we JUST celebrate 46 years of Charley's? We blinked, it's Halloween, and now a 10-foot skeleton in our Greenhouse is wearing a Charley's shirt and an apron like he actually has a shift to cover.

Meet Skully, Charley's newest and oldest employee. He looks mildly panicked. Frankly, so are we. Because if Halloween is already here, the holidays are basically standing at the door tapping their watches.

You can spot him from the entrance. Feel free to say hello. Just be prepared for the face he makes when he sees you coming back for dinner after you were already here for lunch.

From Halloween to holiday parties in about five minutes

Somebody in the office group chat is already asking where the holiday dinner is happening. Somebody else just volunteered your house for a family get-together. Before this gets out of hand, may we suggest Charley's private back room in Lynchburg?

Our back room welcomes gatherings of up to 75 guests for office celebrations, family holiday meals, end-of-year get-togethers, and other reasons to get everyone around the same table. It's right here at 707 Graves Mill Road, which means the food, the friendly faces, and the cleanup are already covered.

Take a look at our private dining and reservation details and private party menus. Then call 434-237-5988 to ask about dates, deposits, guest minimums, and the setup that works for your group. Private reservations have specific booking requirements, so it's worth checking the details before you send invitations.

Celebrating somewhere else? We do that too. Charley's catering serves Lynchburg and surrounding Central Virginia communities with options ranging from business lunches to buffets and hors d'oeuvres. See the catering menus to start planning.

Meanwhile, the regular Charley's lineup is still doing its thing

Yes, the holidays are coming. No, you don't have to wait until December to find a good reason to eat here. Some traditions are worth keeping on the calendar.

Weekday lunch specials: your lunch break deserves better

Meet a friend, escape the office, or just eat a real lunch before your afternoon gets away from you. Ask what's featured among our weekday lunch specials, or go with the regular favorites: sandwiches, salads, soups, quiche, and plenty more. Explore our lunch guide or full restaurant menu.

Tuesday: the seniors know where to go

Our Seniors Tuesday tradition gives qualifying senior guests 15% off their entrée. Restrictions apply, so call for the current details. Apparently good taste comes with age. See our weekly restaurant specials.

Wednesday: you had us at PRIME RIB

Making it to Wednesday deserves a little something. After 4 PM, our Prime Rib Wednesday special features an 8 oz prime rib with a mixed green salad and a baked potato or another side choice. The middle of the week is suddenly looking pretty good. Read the current weekly specials guide.

Thursday: takeout counts as a plan

Don't feel like cooking? That's what Takeout Thursday is for. Pick your favorites, let us handle dinner, and enjoy the fact that no one has to wash a skillet. Order Charley's online for current pickup and available delivery options.

Friday: dinner and local live music

The Tavern keeps Friday evenings interesting with live local music, usually from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. Come for dinner, stay for the music, or do it the other way around. Artists and individual dates can change, so check our Friday live music guide for details.

Sunday: brunch just hits perfect

A Sunday morning with no rush, somebody else cooking, and coffee that arrives at your table? Exactly. Sunday brunch is served from 11 AM to 2 PM at Charley's. Think Eggs Benedict, Eggs Florentine, omelets, and the kind of catching up that makes Monday feel a little farther away. See the Sunday brunch details.

And yes, we still have all your dinner favorites

Steaks, seafood, chicken, pasta, burgers, sandwiches, Southern comfort favorites, and a few choices for the person who says they 'aren't that hungry' and then steals everyone's fries. Browse the menu before you visit. Our changing weekend specials are announced separately, so check the latest Charley's updates for what's happening now.
