Charlie’s Sandwich Shoppe is a landmark restaurant in Boston’s South End.

“The 32-seat diner became an institution as it shunned the accepted norms of segregation after it opened in 1927, embracing an inclusive, predominantly African American clientele. Throughout its history, it served jazz musicians, cops, athletes, mafioso, entertainers, politicians—even sitting presidents—and some of Boston’s most notable chefs.” -The Boston Globe

Charlie’s has won a James Beard Award, a distinction given for excellence in cuisine. Charlie’s is a beloved classic old-school diner where the walls are adorned with one of a
kind memorabilia and photos of days gone by in Boston. “Where Hash Rules” was a “love story” written to tell the history of Charlie’s (also known for their famous turkey hash). It’s called a Sandwich Shoppe but Charlie’s is so much more…serving breakfast all day and offering a full lunch and dinner menu all the time! You can’t come to Boston without visiting this 90-year-old neighborhood spot where the service is friendly, the food is so fresh, delicious and filling — and you will feel welcomed each and every time! Casual. Walk-in.
