    Our pizza was dropped on my husband’s brand new $200 shoes by the server. The manager took 50% off the pizza we actually received and ate. This will not cover the cost of the stains on my husband’s shoes. It is disappointing more was not done.

    The food was fantastic. A little pricey but really not that much. For the view of the ocean while eating is was definitely worth the visit. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly and me and my family had a great time. Definitely recommend!!

    Great place to take out of town guests. Across from White Rock beach, outside patio, something for everyone on the menu. Fish Tacos & fish & chips very good. Nice vibe.

    We go to Charlie’s don’t surf on this weekend every year to celebrate a friend that we lost 13 years ago because it was his favourite place and his name was Charlie! The staff is kind and very efficient. We really enjoy our meals at Charlie’s Don’t Surf!

    Server hardly came to table Food was ok. Ordered tacos, lots of cabbage Water not refilled, we asked 3 different people. Wasn’t asked if I wanted to order more drinks I said it was my daughter’s bday in the reservation, I think they missed that part. Next time we will try another eatery on the strip.

    We went there for a date and stopped for lunch. I had fish n chips but the fish was very small and mainly batter and the chips were average quality. The drink was ok. Ambience was nice.
