    It was overall a very nice dinner with live music. Got a little crowded for number of wait staff on duty, but they did a pretty good job. Everyone liked the food, good value, but the Cornish hen dish had a surprising amount of pooled oil in the polenta/veggies. Def recommend this restaurant…also had a delicious bfast this morning.

    It was our youngest son’s 15th birthday so my girlfriend and I wanted to take him to Chicken Charlie’s. This was everyone’s first time at the restaurant but we are very familiar with the fun foods Chicken Charlie’s brings to Del Mar fair. From entering the restaurant being welcomed by friendly staff to ordering amazing foods, this was clearly the right choice for dinner. We will definitely be back and highly recommend You try Chicken Charlie’s as well. The location addresses is 12457 Rancho Bernardo Rd. 92128!
