Opened in 1927, the iconic eatery garnered a following for its old-school, diner-style breakfasts, most notably for its famed turkey hash.

In addition to the restaurant’s slew of regular customers, Charlie’s has also attracted a number of celebrities throughout its 87 year history, including Sammy Davis Jr., Julia Child, and President Barack Obama.
