I have known Ed and Linda for over 20 years, and many of the servers have been there for over 15 years. They have the best food in town, and there is a little bit of a wait, which some people have complained about here, but would you rather have a microwaved meal? Everything is fresh and made to order,... more

We went to the restaurant Friday evening about 8:30. A large party was just leaving. It took 15 minutes to get "the mom" to ask "ready to order?" I asked what the specials were, and she wasn't certain how to describe them, several were already 86ed. We ordered drinks and entrees. The entrees took about a half hour, and drinks... more

We stayed two nights in Mariposa and had a great meal on our first night, everyone very friendly and the corn chowder was so tasty. We got engaged the following day in Yosemite so we decided to celebrate with dinner for a second time at Charles Street Dinner House. Again they were so friendly and it topped off a perfect... more

Well, I can't say more than the other reviews. Food great, service friendly, atmospher nice. I just had to comment on the way we ended up there. On our way down from a 3 day stay at Yosemite we were stopped by a CHP sobriety check point at the north end of town. When stopped and questioned we had a... more

We ate here twice, once at the start of a road trip, and then 10 days later on our way back. On both occasions the food was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. During the trip we ate in all kinds of places from Burger King to The Bellagio, and yet the two meals from the Charles Street Dinner... more

We went back the second night, the atmosphere is very friendly, great waitresses. Our second visit was the better of the two, but would go there again. Don't expect Four Seasons entrees, but above average. Locals seem to frequent the place on a regular basis. Food was only slightly above average, but good. more

This restaurant has everything we want in a restaurant. The food is superb and done to order, the service is great, the staff is very friendly and the ambiance tops it off. Everytime we have gone, we have enjoyed ourselves to the max. The waitresses have been very friendly and courteous. The food takes a little bit to arrive but... more

If dining on poorly cooked steak or fish with a side of potato and iceberg salad suits your fancy....then the terrible service, and rediculously high prices will seem ok. Best advice, don't go. more

We visited this restaurant based on internet recommendations, and the restaurant's own pitch suggested that the chef took a good deal of time in preparing the food and that we should be prepared to wait for this quality product. We ordered some garlic bread to start, and this arrived in next to no time. The main course then arrived as... more
