The Water Dog Restaurant

At Charley's, we firmly believe that promoting another business would be like recommending a restaurant while you're still enjoying the best meal of your life at your own table. Why would we send you elsewhere when we're already serving up the finest experience with a side of excellence and a sprinkle of awesomeness? We're so confident in our superiority that if there were an Olympics for businesses, we'd win gold, silver, and bronze—then probably host the afterparty too. So, while other businesses are great and all, we're just too busy being the best to notice!
