Fantastic barbecue place with a sports bar theme. Barbecue was high quality! The burnt ends were unreal! And oddly... Best french fries ever! Great service and good music. Totally recommend Charlie & Jake's!

I had the pleasure of dining at Charlie & Jake’s BBQ recently, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for enjoying some authentic, mouth-watering barbecue. What really stood out was the exceptional service, especially from Mobeen. He went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect, offering helpful recommendations and checking in just the right amount to make sure we had everything we needed. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail made the meal even more enjoyable. As for the food—absolutely incredible. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the brisket was perfectly smoked with just the right amount of seasoning, and the sides were equally impressive. I highly recommend trying the mac and cheese and baked beans for a complete, satisfying meal. If you’re looking for great BBQ and outstanding service, Charlie & Jake’s is the place to be. And if you’re lucky enough to have Mobeen taking care of you, you’re in for an even better experience! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Amie provided great service, she was prompt, pleasant and offered excellent suggestions. The other servers around us seemed to be just as friendly and helpful. The restaurant is not crowded? Which we have found other establishments, where the chairs are all practically touching back to back. The food was great and the prices are very reasonable. Loved the craft keg cocktails, which were a nice unique, extra touch. Kudos to Charlie & Jake and their great team. We will return and refer others to you. Sorry I didn't take photos, but my drink was good? so here it is....pretty much gone.

Charlie and Jake’s is our favorite restaurant on the island. No matter what you are looking for, you will find it here. They serve quality food, smoked/cooked to perfection, and the portions are more than enough. The bar is amazing and stocked well. Plenty of outdoor seating, sheltered from the elements. We also order take out a great deal- the drive thru window is perfect for hurried days. Pictured is my take out order of the half chicken with green beans and coleslaw (my favorite) but also enjoy the salad with chicken breast which is literally served in a huge mixing bowl. We always start with pig skins, smoked wings, onion rings, pretzel with beer cheese, brisket nachos, or fried pickles. My husband enjoys the brisket, chicken tenders, wings, ribs, and salads. Our boys love the John Wayne burger (too many incredible burger choices to name), grilled cheese with tomato basil soup, or one of the mixed meat plates. We recommend taking some of that entree home and saving room for dessert because again, it’s that good! Our family has been patrons here for 20 years, before they expanded to their current elevated space and menu. When we have family or friends from out of town or celebrations, we come here. Added bonus- I have a chronic illness and have to be mindful of what and where I eat and have never had an issue with my food choices here.

Charlie & Jake’s exceeded our expectations! The food was delicious—everything. We had a plate meal of pulled pork & Charlie’s 3 meat combo of brisket & pulled chicken & pork. There was so much food we’re taking home at least 1/2 for another meal. Gabriella our waitress was a sweetheart, helping us make selections & checking on us through the meal. She’s one of the best waitresses we’ve ever had. We’ll absolutely return when we’re back in the area.

So, I've been in Florida for about 5 weeks now.... until today, most of the restaurants I had been to had poor service, and the food was tasteless. However, I stumbled upon this little gem on Indian Harbor Beach. I am so impressed by the taste, the presentation, the lovely waitress, thank you Avery, and the atmosphere. The food was beyond what I was expecting. Huge portions!! Also, the sauces are pretty good tasting as well. I will definitely be coming back again before leaving. As to everyone else, be sure to check them out. You won't be disappointed .

What a find! This is the best BBQ I've had on the Space Coast. I got the small portion of pulled turkey, and my husband got the small portion of pulled pork. Came with two sides and hush puppies. Everything was delicious. We also got the homemade banana pudding. Yum for sure. If you haven't been here, stop in.
