These chowder have no vegetables or fillers. Pure seafood with every bite. Never had one like this before. My boyfriend and I ordered a bowl of chowder each and a 2pc haddock fish and chips. When the chowder first arrived I thought okay, typical bowl size for quite the dollars. But then I swirled it around and took a bite and understood the cost. It was VERY filling. The biscuit that came with the soup was fresh, soft, and flakey. It was very good. The haddock fish and chips were great too. The fries are double-fried type of fries, and the breading on the haddock is thin. Just how I like it. I think most places now have way too thick of breading on their fish and and this was refreshing to see. Will recommend to others to visit Cape Breton.

It was actually jaw dropping! Not only was it the best Chowder ever! I cannot express how much REAL seafood was in that bowl. Scallops, fish (haddock) lobster, shrimp! Wow! Well done!

Great little roadside restaurant, and the seafood is as good as advertised! Very typical pricing, and great portion sizes. Everything was very moist and tender, and perfectly prepared! Highly recommend you are passing through, and their seafood chowder is famous for a reason!

Heard a lot about this seafood chowder so had to come by to check it out! Tried the new special which comes with a cup of seafood chowder, fish cake and biscuit. Overall good portion of food and very tasty. The restaurant seemed understaffed with the amount of diners and people ordering take out. We never received water when asked and I could tell other diners were getting irritated with the long waits for food.

We loved our time at Charlenes! The wait staff was super friendly and we enjoyed the cozy family owned diner atmosphere. We went twice during our vacation and everything we ordered was delicious! This was the first restaurant we ate at in Cape Breton and it started our trip off on a high note. Very family friendly establishment. The staff provided color packets, high chairs and kid friendly cups on arrival. The only trouble we had with Charlene's was the price. The chowder was fantastic but we found the $28 price tag prohibitive. We ordered it a couple times but we shared a bowl to help justify the price. We had a great experience at Charlene's but found it to be a bit overpriced for a family restaurant.

my daughter, who is GF and I stopped by for brunch. We both had the seafood chowder and fish cakes. Both were delicious and the portion size was very generous. it was so good that I order 2 more bowls of chowder to go. I can't wait to go back and try some of their menu items. FYI, I glanced at what the other patrons in the restaurant were eating, mostly traditional breakfasts, the meals looked large and everyone seemed to be enjoying them.

It was really good—probably the best chowder we’ve had. We were genuinely impressed by how much real seafood was in it: scallops, haddock, lobster, and shrimp. Very flavorful and well done. Charlene’s is a great spot. We’ll definitely be back!
