On day three of being intensely intoxicated
in a row, my roommates, our friend Jake, and I left to go to Charlie’s Place. Located on Foothill and Santa Rosa road in
San Luis Obispo, Charlie’s Place is a restaurant that is been serving up delicious
food since 1978. After parking, my crew and I walked to the establishment until
we were interrupted by someone shouting my name. As I turned, I saw that it was
my boss. We exchanged some small talk and he introduced me to his wife, his
newborn son, and his father-in-law as they were having lunch together. He then
asked me what I was up to and if I was planning on joining the mass of people
next door at Charlie’s Place. I confirmed his suspicions and told him that my
crew and I were going to Charlie’s Place for their Sunday morning bottomless mimosas
(Oh did I not mention before? Charlie’s Place has BOTTOMLESS mimosas every
Sunday from 10-2pm. Every alcoholics dream <3). My boss then responded with “Well
I don’t want
to keep you guys waiting” and with that my crew and I walked off
to Charlie’s. I know that wasn’t very professional of me but during non-work
days I won’t hold off on showing my true colors. Once we walked through the
doors of Charlie’s Place we immediately knew that we needed to do some catch
up. Most of the tables at Charlie’s were full, and every occupied table had at
least one mimosa pitcher on it. The tables were occupied with free spirited
college aged kids most likely excited that the summer vibes were still flowing
until school starts back up on the 22nd. The hostess sat us next to
the table that utilized the bottomless deal the most out of everyone there.
Once our waitress came we told her that we want what they’re having, and when
it came down to food ordering I’m very proud of my friends to say that they all
ordered the breakfast burrito (including myself, duhhh). Charlie’s Place has
two different breakfast burritos, the standard, and the “hangover” version, and
although I was a little hungover I decided on the standard burrito with chorizo
for meat. The burritos came out pretty fast and I quickly starting eating mine.
I experienced the breakfast burrito here during my first round of preliminary
research and I really enjoyed it, and I have looked forward to this time where
I can finally blog about Charlie’s burrito. Probably what makes Charlie’s Place
breakfast burrito stand out the most is the yummy hash browns that they put
into it, and how it’s only $6.95 for a large burrito! The atmosphere is also
pretty good; per most places in San Luis Obispo they have a nice outdoor
seating area. They also have a bar with tons of bottles of alcohol behind it,
which always gives me a warm feeling in my heart. If I had to give a downside
to their atmosphere I would say that it was loud, and so loud that we couldn’t
hear the music. However, the table to the right of us (the ones that probably
cause Charlie’s Place to lose the most amount of money on) took the courtesy to
sing almost every song to the rest of the restaurant. Their drunken rendition
of Taylor Swift’s “22” was beautiful; I could really feel the passion in their
voices. Although the spontaneous karaoke was a highlight of the visit, I can’t
promise this during everyone’s visit at Charlie’s Place, I feel as thought it
might just be a special Sunday morning sorta deal. So without further ado my
scores for Charlie’s Place are the following 4.5/5 for taste, a 4/5
for atmosphere, and a 4.5/5
for price. And with that being said I got to get back to the post mimosa after
party that’s taking place in my house, we’re celebrating bottomless mimosas
with more mimosas.
