Old-School Eating at Charley Brown's

When a restaurant has been in business for 47 years and has a consistently full parking lot, it's worth a look. That's what brought us to Charley Brown's in Penfield.

Let's be clear from the start: Charley Brown's is not a trendy establishment. You're not going there to see and be seen, and you won't see the word "fusion" anywhere near the menu. Instead, you'll be treated to a warm atmosphere, where you can choose from a big selection of meat, pasta, seafood, and vegetarian offerings

Reviews

- Boondoggy, Walworth, NY

"This restaurant has "early bird" specials for those of us who want to eat earlier. The portions are just a bit smaller and the price is too. You can still order from the dinner menu. We went on a Wednesday evening and the place was packed! The food offerings were really good. The exceptions were the salad...it was pretty much ordinary restaurant salad fare, and the bread. At our table we had a fish plate, a chicken entrée, and a "Tour of Italy" sample plate. All were quite good. Our server, Marcia, was excellent!"

- Golflad69, Rochester, NY

"Went to dinner Sunday Night. First time in about 25 years since I was last there. We had six in our party and everything from the appetizers to the dessert was good. Our Waitress Casey was outstanding. The owner came by the table to ask how everything was. The wine list had good selections and was priced right. Will be back!"

-Diana D., Rochester NY

"The moment I walk in here, I instantly feel welcome. The staff here is excellent. The food never disappoints. This is my parents' favorite, and I am always happy to join them here for dinner. My personal favorite is their chicken parmesan. Definitely worth a visit, if not repeatedly :)"

-Mike R., Penfield NY

"These guys are too easily forgotten, or dismissed by people under 50. It's cozy and charming. There are generous portions and good prices on wholesome, comforting food. Stop in once and a while to enjoy this Penfield establishment."

-John P., Denver CO

"A great restaurant in Penfield, NY. A favorite local spot for many, with good reason. The food is great, and comes with a comfortable old school atmosphere. They're very busy on weekends, so get in early or call ahead. Even the marinara is great, which is something I don't say easily, being an Italian that rarely ever eats a pasta dish outside the home."

-Karen S., Rochester NY

"Excellent food. Excellent service. Chefs are very creative. Nightly specials can be extraordinary. Owner on site almost every night. ALOT of delicious food for your money...great value. Live entertainment on the weekend."
