Charlie Browns Pancake & Steak House

Home!! That is the best way to describe this place. We are out of town and the manager at the hotel we are staying at recommended this place to us.. when we first walked in we saw a regular get a hug from the staff, we knew we were in a great place… not to mention the food. Homemade gravy is never a bad thing!! My mom cleaned her plate which is a rarity!! We will come here when ever we are in Indy!!!

Very nice service. I came in mid morning on a Saturday and took a single at one of the two horseshoe shape counters. I had a custom omelet with pepper jack, spinach, bacon and avacado. It came with hash browns and selection of toast, pancakes or waffle. I opted for the sourdough toast which was very good, but I saw how large there pancakes are, which I would probably recommend. I also tried a half order of the pepper gravy & biscuits which was sharp with black pepper, but no issue with peppercorns as it was neither too course or too fine. The biscuits were not very tall, but it was fine as a side. My tab was $19 for all of the above and water. Short wait to sit, but fairly long wait for food on a Saturday morning as you might expect. This was later in September (not May). Vegetarian options: Non meat items are marked on the menu Parking: Lot and street parking - all free

First time here and it was packed! Usually when I go to a restaurant and it's as busy as this the whole experience is rushed and not as good as I'd like. This was NOT the case here. Even tho I had to wait 15min in a line that extended out the door I would say I was seated quickly. The waitress was very busy with multiple customers but she was able to get me my coffee quickly which is a make it or break it stipulation I have. I ordered my food and even though it was absolutely packed my order came out exactly as I ordered it even with a few substituted items. Everything was HOT fresh from the kitchen and the waitress did check on me often refilling my coffee as needed. Honestly I was expecting a train wreck of a breakfast experience but I was totally blown away by the service and food.
