T J Charlie's - Elk Rapids Twp

I stopped in for breakfast. They have a decent selection to please just about everybody's taste. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. I got my food quickly after ordering. I love that they bring the table a carafe of water so you can refill as you need rather than depending on the very busy waitress to keep your glass full. I ordered the Western omelette with a side of American fries and bacon.The American fries weren't exactly what I was expecting, but still good. I guess in my mind I thought they would be chunks of potatoes that had been roasted to crispy, but they were actually thin slices of potatoes that had been fried mostly crispy on a griddle. I think this restaurant would do really well with some chunky home fry style potatoes.The omelette was tasty, although maybe just barely underdone.... I found a few places where the egg whites weren't quite firm. I ordered my omelette with Swiss cheese, and it turned out very well. If there were one more thing that they could add to make it over the top, I think a nice dollop of tangy hollandaise sauce would be absolutely amazing.I think the bacon was my favorite part. They serve thick slices cooked to perfection. I'm pretty sure I could have eaten the whole plate of just the bacon.As several of said in other reviews, I would love to see this place get an update on their decor and furniture. It's a small place, in a small town, so I guess I wouldn't expect it to be over the top extravagant when it comes to decoration of furniture..... But that would be so nice if it was a little more up to date.

The waitress was the sweetest person ever, And honestly the best French Toast I have ever had. And even tho they were busy the food came out fast!! We also tried the homemade corned beef and that was amazing too. The prices are very reasonable. So glad we made a stop in Elk Rapids

Delicious lunch and the best service ever! We accidentally went in a half hour before close and the waitress was so nice and patient, above and beyond.I had the chicken cherry wrap (chicken salad with cherries) and it was amazing!Very cozy, family-friendly, and clean restaurant. Highly recommended spot for breakfast or lunch!

I don't like omelets because they taste like a grill. Figured I'd chance it because it sounded good! I ate the whole omelet.. very good. Busy place...and tables are close to each other. I don't think it would handle a wheelchair comfortably. Very busy and slow service..but there was a festival in town.

This place has the best Cuban sandwich I have ever eaten. Very sad I ate it all. 5 outta 5.
