What our guests are saying
I went to Charlie T's for the first time last Sunday. The food was delicious! It was my first time to have etouffee and it was amazing. Service was great and I loved the race themed atmosphere. I'd seen CharlieT (a professional supercross racer) race on Saturday at the Houston SX. It was exciting to see him in his restaurant on Sunday greeting people and taking photos with the fans.

My husband and I had dinner here tonight for the first time. One of the best first impressions I’ve ever had at a restaurant! We went specifically for crawfish and it’s some of the best crawfish I’ve ever had! We ordered boudin balls and fried pickles as well and those were both amazing! We met the owners who were so welcoming and our server (I don’t remember her name but she had blonde curly hair), was so friendly and sweet! I have nothing to complain about! From food to service and a clean and very welcoming environment, the overall service was phenomenal! We don’t live close but will make the drive to come back the Charlie T’s!
