Charlie's Mongolian Barbeque, Evansville

Impressive! The North side of Evansville off Diamond Ave makes this iconic venture a popular treat. My party of 3 went and was not only impressed by the selections and service, but the actual format and creative set up. What appears to be a buffet of items, the customer selects whatever fresh veggies, meats, and toppings they want cooked, and reaching the grill, the many sauces for the cooking . If unsure of flavors, a chef will spoon a sample for you. They immediately throw all the ingredients OIL FREE ( with the exception of a little sesame oil for flavor) upon the grill. A server will bring the drinks and add rice and/or warm tortillas for filling or any other request after you are seated during your meal. Charlie goes the 3rd mile to the tables where new faces are seen and asks how things are. With a sense of humor, he supports his product by telling how healfthful it is compared to regular Asian buffets where shelf life is lengthened and unknown sugars and oily fats are added. " It is left up to you the level of hot. It will either make you cry like a baby, or if hotter, like a silly girl." We all laughed. As a member of Weight Watchers, I highly recommend this for tasty food without the overage of fats. I counted no more than approximately 10 points for a very hefty portion of fresh and crisp food!

I eat at Charlie's two or three times a month and alwaysw have excellent food. Charlie will tell you, "build it as big as your house", referring to how much food you can put on your plate. I just returned from there and again, everything was great! Thanks Charlie.

Charlie's is amazing, great food, even better atmosphere. Charlie makes you feel at home, and keeps you laughing. excellent place to go for dates or if you just want to try something diffrent. First timers STACK YOUR PLATES HIGH

Our family recently went to Charlies for a family birthday party. We had a large group with us and our server, the manager and even the owner treated us as if we were trying to get a free meal. We six children three years old and younger, so we did not all get our food at the same time so we could watch the children (we only had two high chairs. We were made to feel very uncomfortable while we were there. We explained to our server several times who was on each check. We ended up paying for a meal we didn't have. This was by far the worst dining experience our family has ever encountered. We realize there are a lot of us and a challange to wait on because of all the small children, but our family celebration was ruined by they way we were treated. I was a server for 15 years and would never treat a patron of a restaurant that I worked in the way my family and I were treated. I now own my own small business and am surprised that they felt in this economy it was a wise business decision to alienate a group of 17 people who will never be back. (By the way we had all eaten at Charlies many times before, just not with such a large group) Shame on you for ruining our day.

This is one great place. We love it. Charlie is a great owner and very fun to talk with. For first time visitors don;t try and be such a man like I did. When they ask you if want to cry like a baby or cry like a man...tell them cry like a baby the first few times..then work your way up to crying like a man. That hot stuff they put in there is dynomite...We are going there again tonight...Load up a plate..eat until we are full..then take home leftovers and have it for lunch tomorrow..I could eat there 7 days a week

Great food, great price, & great experience! It's real fun when there's a line of people to see who can stack the highest and who gets the most "tears" haha. I love this place!

awesome food, you get one plate and pile it as high as you can and they cook it right there in front of you. They also have an all you can eat option. The food is great, Charlie is awesome and friendly, he will hook you up if you become a regular. It's a great place to eat some good FRESH chinese food.

This place is the Bomb!!!!! The best time that I think to go is for lunch when the owner is cooking he is so funny. He will make you cry like a girl. If you have been there when he's cooking you know what I mean. It was strange for me the first time putting all the ingredients on my plate to be cooked. Once you go a few times you learn how to stack your plate to get the most food for your buck. Check this place out I have never had bad food or service.

Charlie's is one of the absolute best places to eat in Evansville. If you're looking for a place to take a friend who's from out of town, Charlie's is the place. The food is delicious, and because you choose the ingredients yourself, you know it's going to be good. Charlie himself is always present, and he's a really funny guy! Pro Tip: Pile your plate high with noodles, making a sort of dip in the middle, kinda like mashed potatoes. Put your meat and whatnot in the middle, then top it off with more noodles. Stack as high as you possibly can. Once cooked, it will shrink and fit nicely on your plate. Now you'll have plenty to take home with you!

All you can eat for 8.99 for dinner... and the food is good. What's not to like?
