I tend to go when I want a real heart-clogging breakfast, with no chance of goat cheese or arugula. It's always just what I'm hoping for. Nothing fancy, but nothing wrong. And always plenty on the plate. It's usually pretty quiet in the mornings, with timely, friendly-enough service. They keep the coffee coming and don't turn up their nose at my request for half sweet- half unsweet tea. Overall, a solid diner/meat & 3 with fair prices.

The best kept secret in a 3 mile radius of downtown. You'd never expect such a great little place to eat right on Dickerson Pike. The menu is kind of like a sit-down Sonic meets 60s diner meets a bit of "Meat And Three." The staff knows everyone who comes in the door. The place is spotless. The prices are ridiculously good. Definitely a great alternative on the East side.

Interesting eatery on the East side of town. Waitress was very nice and food was good. We had clubs to meat and three. All four were satisfied with our meal!

This place has been around a long time. Since moving to East Nashville, this was my first time visiting. The food and prices are unbeatable! They also have nice weekly specials. The service, however, was horrible! Make sure you've read the menu before you get there and order everything once the waitress gets to your table, as she may not return! Worth going back though.

Dude...it's a dive...but it's clean & serves good food. In fact, I had a preconceived notion that the food wouldn't be good when we pulled up. I was wrong! Steak & eggs for breakfast is safe bet...and a good piece of meat! If you like bologna...get the fried bologna sandwich. It won't disappoint. Burgers, fries, chicken, bbq, etc. Can't beat the prices. We will be back!

Full bar. patio. Cornhole. Breakfast all day. Backyard with picnic tables and fire pit. Foosball. Darts. TVs. Breakfast all day.

Food is good and people are great but does it have to take so damn long to get the food?!??? Seriously, let's figure it out. 30 mins for a burger or a milkshake is ridiculous. I can go to 10 other places that have food just as good or better and it doesn't take half that time to get food. Without the regulars going here this place would close. You are not bringing in new customers by making them wait.

I am glad the Nashville biscuit house was too crowded this morning because I finally got to Charlie Bob's. The exterior and name were off putting but I had a feeling it was worth a try. Glad the yelpers gave it a thumbs up. The chicken and waffle was a treat because they use chicken tenders so there's no work pulling apart wings and separating out the yucky parts (veins). The tenders tasted fresh battered. The waffle would have been delicious with no butter or syrup. I like a waffle batter that has flavor all by itself. I also tasted a biscuit and it was pretty good. The waitress was good, and the atmosphere was casual and family friendly. I will be back very soon because I want my own order of the home fries (carboholic!); a nibble has me hooked. My companions had the breakfast special and loaded hash browns. The friend eating the latter was very quiet, busy eating, not talking. Now I have a closer alternative to Wendell Smith's.

I had the unfortunate visit today. I waited over 30 minutes to get lunch and it still never came. The waitress never came over to explain that the kitchen was behind nor did she ever come over to apologize. Upon leaving I expressed my unhappiness and again was not given any apologies just excuses and made to feel that it was my fault that I could not qait. Poor service and lack of organization and communication. I have gone to social media already to let everyone know. Unless the staff changes their attitude I will not be back!!!

A year ago I gave this place 4 stars. In the last few months this place has gone down the toilet. Don't go there. It took me a couple visits to admit that one of my regular breakfast joints had turned to garbage, but at this point I don't think there's any coming back. It's not the place described in the reviews from 2014 and before.
(1)tracy m.
Solid, quiet. Better than the Biscuit House for sure. The first few times I went, I was not in love, but I kinda am now. The breakfast is cheap and tasty. The burger is enormous and cheap and tasty. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and they'll let me hang out and eat a cheese burger and read for a while, but I only do that when it isn't busy. Fun fact: they now have a full bar featuring several local craft brews on draught that are also cheap. And tasty. And I never have to wait for a table and the windows look original.
(4)Jennifer H.
Just had another awesome meal at Charlie Bob's. BF had delicious chicken & dressing and I had the best French toast I've ever had plus delicious hash browns and bacon. Yummy goodness in a comfortable atmosphere (seriously mixed crowd - everyone welcome) and a great price! Also love #breakfastanytime :). Definitely worth a stop in Nashville!
(5)Dan A.
Stopped in for breakfast, they seem to have a decent variety of menu items from breakfast to dinner. This place seems to be an old style diner, they had plenty of staff that seemed friendly for the most part. Coffee was good, but not the typical "Drews brews" or other special roast...just good old drinkable coffee. I decided to try biscuits & gravy - it was not bad, though I have had much better. They do make it the old fashioned way but should really let the flour cook a bit more before adding the liquid. The table next to me had an omelet that looked pretty good. I will put it down for another try. Health inspection score posted was a 94 (reinspect). Since I am new to the area, I am still getting the feel for how accurate the local health inspections are (some areas are a joke) - normally I avoid any place under a 95.

Price, convenience, selection, service, comfort.... This place meets every expectation when you step inside. I have been there for both dinner and breakfast, both of which were amazing. If you are looking for a cost-conscious food joint that is simple and to the point, this is it... hungover on a sunday, go here, not in the mood to cook, go here... Nothing flashy, just good ol' cooking. Chicken and Dressing is ridiculously good. Pancakes are on another level.
(5)Shawntay C.
I visited this establishment after reading yelp reviews for the past couple of days. I felt like I was fully prepared for the wait. I, in fact, was NOT!! The food was okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be. I honestly felt like I could have easily fixed this meal at home and my bacon would not have been extra crispy. At any rate, although uninspired upon my exit, the waitresses were nice and friendly. They kept us informed throughout the wait and even bought biscuits to tide us over because of the high wait times. They quickly fixed errors which was greatly appreciated. Overall I think I'll go back and try dinner and then decide whether to keep them as a standby when tired of fast food.

Had dinner at Charlie Bob's a couple weeks ago. The name and location both scared me a bit, but I had friends who swore they had the most delicious pancakes known to man :-). Looked up some of the feedback of my fellow Yelpers and decided to give it a go. The stale old smoke smell is a bit in your face, I won't deny, but I'm guessing that resorts back to the days where smoking and eating were hand in hand. The service also was slightly lacking. I was nervous that being seated in front of the live band would limit our dinner conversation, but actually we scored by finding Forlorn Strangers, a new to Nashville bluegrass quartet. Anyway back to the food....I ordered a burger and onion rings, but lets be honest ... It was average at best. However, I also ordered a pancake and some eggs for my one year old and DANG!!! Those pancakes! Poor baby girl got lots of egg and a little pancake bc momma stole it ;-). I've been craving ever since! My friends ordered their sweet potato fries and those things were also dang Delish. Hopefully this weekend ill be at Charlie Bob's eating their killer (and cheap!) pancakes. Come fight me for the syrup ;-).

Great diner. Seriously. Excellent breakfast, simple, well made, delicious. This is what all diners should be. Also, it's insanely cheap. You can get a good breakfast for 5$.

Psssst... This is not a dive. This is a little diner that is in very good condition and probably been here for decades. It's not smelly, not dirty, the upholstery is not worn, neither are the floors. So calling it a dive is not a true statement. This is a little well established diner on Dickerson Pike, in the industrial area. Well known to locals, the place fills up very quickly at mealtime. Being a BIG fan of the TV show, "Nashville," I really wanted to know where it was that Deacon and Coleman sat around discussing stuff in a booth with bright windows. The place looked quaint. So I was on the hunt to find this place. After questioning people, I was directed to Charlie Bob's on Dickerson Pike, right outside of downtown Nashville. When I walked in, there were a few people in there, very quiet, TV on the wall was silent, chalkboard menu listed tons of items including "milkshakes." I grabbed a booth, looked at the menu, ordered the BIG ASS Thumper burger, sans the bun, lots of lettuce, pickle, mayo, and raw onion.. plus a side of sweet potato fries. Within minutes, cars drove up, parked and in walked suits, laborers, couples, Vandy suited people and the next thing you know, it's filled to capacity. Just like that! I sat and read my phone, and within minutes, my meal came. Waitress got so bogged down, I never saw her again. I didn't get my pickles, mayo, or onions.. or lettuce. I never got a refill on my coffee or water. I'm not going to penalize her for this. It became so crowded so quickly, she never got a chance to check to see if I needed anything. Sweet potato fries were hot and crunchy! Very good! After finishing my meal, I asked the cashier when a better time to come back would be, and she started telling me about all the things Charlie Bob does at night. I mean, she talked about chips and salsa, queso, open jam, all the fish you can eat, you name it, she was listing all the things that happen at this place. I will come back one Wednesday evening and check out the open mike, try another dish, and hopefully get better service. I do not want to condemn this place for bad service, yet. It needs another chance. Food was adequate. Service was subpar. But as I said, the place was clean as a whistle. No dive. Just an ordinary family owned diner in an industrial area. Did I mention covered parking? YES! (I have posted photographs)
(3)Walter K.
Stopped by for breakfast. Chicken and waffles were good. Had a bite of a cheese burger and it was really good. Pancakes were a 3/5 not too bad but not too great.
(4)Chris P.
A friend and I stopped by and had lunch Tuesday and were disappointed. My friend had Salsbury steak and mashed potatoes, she was sick with in an hour and a half. I had the pork chop, green beans and pinto beans, the veges were great the pork chop had been fried for hours, no sickness for me thank goodness. Charlie Bob's is dirty, the area around the booth have food on the walls and the women that work there look like they have been in the kitchen for days without a shower or change of clothes. We wont be back
(2)MzDimples L.
I had an Bison burger. It was pretty good. The burger was big enough for me to hold with two hands. I also really enjoyed the Sweet Potato Fries.

Okay, so let's get to know each other for just a second. I grew up in a small town, with a population of approximately 4,000 -- moved on to go to college in a town of 25,000 (and I thought I was a big deal). When I moved to Brentwood, TN in 2007, I thought I was living the urban lifestyle! All that said, one should acknowledge, there is a good chance I know a good diner when I see one. I had heard the buzz about Charlie Bob's over on Dickerson for quite some time but for some reason didn't think I was "brave" enough to try it. Yes, I know.. Ridiculous, but, Dickerson was a bit out of my comfort zone. Needless to say I got over it, and am glad I did: Charlie Bob's changed my life! It has officially taken the top spot as my favorite divey joint in town. It is just authentic, small town diner vibe at its best. Good, greasy food and super sweet tea to wash it all down with. And for real ya'll, the prices are crazy cheap. The Food: I had one egg, bacon, biscuits/gravy, hashbrowns and coffee for right around $6. Yes, $6, the price of your Starbucks latte this morning. The biscuits were so light and fluffy, if I ever had the chance to eat a cloud-- this is what I would imagine it tasting like. All joking aside, it was probably the best biscuit I've ever had in my life. The rest of the meal was just as I expected, greasy southern breakfast goodness. Looking forward to going back and trying some of the non-breakfast items. The Service: While I'm pretty sure the waitress didn't smile at us once, she was still timely, consistent, and I never had an empty cup of coffee. Not too shabby. If you are like most people I know in Nashville, you haven't made the venture out to Charlie Bob's, and you're missing out! Get out and get you some quality southern diner fare today!

Charlie Bob's is a burger joint, but will surprise you with their breakfast. Regarding their burger, it's great. Best around? Probably not. But it's cheap, big, and authentic. And there's no hour-long waits to be seated like at some nearby East Nashville spots. Since it's close to home and quick, there's no doubt that Charlie Bob's will become a regular destination for me. The breakfast, however, may be the bigger draw. No frills, just a simple, tasty, southern breakfast. And it's cheap! You can easily do breakfast for under $5. Nothing at Charlie Bob's will likely blow you away, but that doesn't mean it's not good.
(4)Ann W.
This one is going on the Biscuit List, not because they had the greatest biscuits but because of the gravy. It was rich and flavorful - better than the gravy at the Nashville Biscuit House. Now if you could just combine the biscuits from there with the gravy from Charlie Bob's . . . . Anyway, I was also impressed with the hash browns that Zim had - he chose the toppings and they made this great custom dish for him. So if you are looking for hash browns that go beyond the basics, this is your place. Overall, a good basic breakfast spot with very friendly service. The other items we had - waffle, eggs, etc - were all fine.

Food was great #ThatIsAll

I was there for a comedy night. Ordered a coffee and a soda with my wife and was given a menu and the waitress never refilled my drink as well as she never came back to take our order. The couple we were with ordered a coffee which was luke warm and they actually had to get up and find the waitress to get it heated up. After the comedy night was over my wife and I were starved and went and had dinner at Chili's. The waiter in the other section seemed like he was way better at his job. As the customers were getting there food and seemed happy. I had ate there a week earlier got a burger and fries that were okay and after telling my wife not to worry about eating we could eat there it left us both very disappointed and starved. I will be back for the Comedy but I won't ever order food there again. Finally when I went to pay for my meal the same waitress kept looking over me as I had my money in my hand to pay my tab. I must of stood there for 10 minutes before I had to say can I please pay my tab. The Waitress did not seem comfortable in her own skin and should clearly find a new profession.Really disappointed with the terrible service.

Apparently Charlie Bob's is a bit of an East Nashville staple, although I'd never heard of it or been there until about a month ago. It's a pretty basic greasy spoon-type diner/meat-and-three joint. The food is average... nothing out of this world. The breakfast is pretty decent. I'm mostly fond of the servers: they're really sweet, friendly, and chatty. I'd come here again if I were in a pinch for food, but I'll take Nashville Biscuit House any day. :)
(3)Janet S.
Another we could be anywhere in the US middle of nowhere breakfast diner....Pablo and I split the pork chop breakfast, two pieces each, an egg each, hash browns each, a biscuit each and sausage gravy, coffee and Tax = $11. Filling, tasty and of course gut wrenching later. Service was pleasant and good, quiet and soothing, now if only there had been some Elvis Christmas Song in the background. As another reviewer said, no arugula here folks. There is a bar around the other side of the cash desk, with twinkly lights, and yes there were four people sitting there at 9.30am. Liver on Thursdays fellow Liver fans.

For breakfast I love the egg sandwich. Depending on the time of day you go the service can sometimes be slow, but I am rarely in a hurry and have never felt like it was a burden. For dinner the wings and sweet potato fries are my favorite. I always get a side of blue cheese dressing because it is the best. The food is always consistent and the folks are friendly. Sometimes you can catch live music or karaoke if you play your cards right! Check out the artwork when you are in there too. Local screen prints from Arcade Death. Gives an old 50s diner a bit of edge.

Charlie Bob's is a little diner in the not-so-nice part of town. You can tell it used to be a drive-in by the parking lot. There is a bar area with a pool table, and an outside patio with chairs. I really want to go back at night to hear live music, especially on the songwriter night (Thursdays). We went there for breakfast a week ago to try something new. They serve your typical menu of greasy, eggy, pancakey, biscuity breakfast items. My favorite. I got breakfast potatoes, overeasy eggs and biscuits. It was all good- simple, but good. The coffee and orange juice were not so good, but more or less what you would expect at a dive diner. Overall, I just enjoyed the casualness of the place. I will update once I experience dinner, beer and music.
(4)Jay F.
Yup, it's an undiscovered dive but cozy and old school. Clean and well kept. I was glad to hear about it. Since it's on lower Dickerson, many people may not know about it unless they've lived around the area a long time. The waitress was friendly and the food was reasonaby priced, and really good. They're getting into live music and comedy on certain nights, which may help get some hipster crowd Gallatin Rd and 5 points establishments enjoy....kindof a sketchy area and the place is as non corporate as it gets, which the latter is what I like best about it besides the food. I'll look forward to going back.
(4)Lea P.
Nice properly greasy breakfast with real sausage gravy and good crispy hashbrowns. Real creamer would make the coffee situation better, but overall a great diner vibe with good food.

This is the closest restaurant to my house in East Nashville. It was the first yelp result when I started looking for something to eat after I moved. I pulled up the menu online, because my girlfriend requires a menu in addition to just good reviews (she likes to make sure there's something specific she wants to eat whereas I'm typically down to just take a chance), and good news! Everything is crazy cheap. As in, there are entrees for under 7 bucks! There's a grilled cheese sandwich for $2.95, and they do breakfast all day! So we order. Breakfast. Bad news: it's a cut below Waffle House, quality wise. Maybe it was a bad day, I say. It's right across the street and it's cheap, I say. Let's give them another chance, I say. So we do, a week later. This time we order dinner. Fried chicken tenders for her and fried catfish for me. First of all, they tell me it'll be ten minutes and it's actually 25. Not cool. Then they're out of the sides we want because they turned the steam trays off or something. Then the food is a step below their breakfast food, which was already a step below greasy spoon diner food. My catfish was way over-fried, making it chewy and inedible, and the chicken tenders had breading just falling off of them. And the ranch that came with them tasted a bit funky. Two meals: one three star experience (generously speaking with a boost from the food value), and one one star experience (which is to say I'd have sent the entire meal back and gone home had we been dining in). Eat here if you dare, but be forewarned. Truthfully, it's convenient enough that I'd probably dine in and eat breakfast again (if my girlfriend were out of town or died tragically in a car explosion) -- I'm very lazy and the place IS right across the street. But I wouldn't expect to enjoy it.
(2)Alyson W.
I agree with Shayne H. This place is a DIVE. But, the food is really really excellent! I have been a few times and always had something different. I have one major recommendation though, get the mashed potatoes with the gravy. It is REAL gravy. Not made from a can or a packet, real roast beef gravy with chunks of meat in it.
(4)Mary G.
Tasty breakfast, but my omelet wasn't really very hot, I mean the cheese never melted. I see others have commented on food items being cold. Why is that? I don't get it.... Anyway, all the rest of the food was good (GREAT steak with the steak and eggs!). Tables, silver clean, good service. Bathrooms small, sink and toilet clean BUT the floor was really nasty, made me cringe. Would it be so hard to spiff it up a bit, at least for us ladies? We'll give it another try though but do I really have to send my omelet back to be warmed? Hmmmm
(3)Mell F.
We enjoyed a really good breakfast here this morning. I can't believe there were not more people there, but good for us; no waiting. I had the Steak and Eggs. It was a nice 6oz ribeye and included 2 eggs, hash browns, and toast or biscuit. It was seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly (medium). I'm looking forward to going back some evening for an 8 or 10 oz. She had the breakfast special of 2 eggs, toast, hash browns and bacon. Everything was cooked as ordered. The bacon was delicious. This looks like a promising place. They have a broad menu and daily specials. We look forward to trying many things on the menu. Oh, the price: For both breakfasts and two coffees the total was under $18.00. Nice!
(4)Michael W.
This is the only decent restaurant I've been able to find on this somewhat sad stretch of fast-food-infested Dickerson. I had a great Polish sausage with peppers and sauerkraut, for a great price. Everyone was super friendly, and they have outdoor seating that's dog-friendly! Great place!
