LOU They are awesome. Very nice staff, went above and beyond to make our pizza great and our dining experience even better!

BurnMan recently had the chance to stop by Charcoal Kitchen in Glendale, and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience! I’ve heard great things about the place, but the chicken here really blew me away. I went with the charbroiled chicken, and it was incredible—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The skin had a nice crisp to it, while the inside was tender and moist. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the seasoning was just the right balance of savory with a touch of smokiness. I couldn’t stop going back for another bite. It also comes with a generous portion of sides—fresh, perfectly seasoned rice, crispy fries, and a really tasty salad. Everything complemented the chicken beautifully. The atmosphere at Charcoal Kitchen is relaxed and casual, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The service was fast, and I felt like I was getting great value for the quality of the food. If you’re craving grilled chicken, this place is an absolute must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back for more next time I’m in Glendale! Highly recommend it.

Brian Woodward I dont give five stars very often, but Bantam deserves a five! If you are looking for no nonsense, flavorful food, this is the place. The atmosphere is all about family. The food reflects those family values. Flavorful and simple makes the evening perfect. I ordered the ell river pale ale. It went perfect with my Mac & cheese with smoked brisket which was fantastic. The catfish and chips and amazing as well. Fresh, moisten and crispy at the same time. The server was always smiling and attentive. Easy to make conversation with. I highly recommend this establishment if you want that authentic down home feeling.

Tavo Ive been here a handful of times, and their food & service is great. On weekends, expect a wait time, specially in the afternoon/night. Prices are reasonable, the place is clean and spacious. I will keep coming back here for certain.

Lee Maassel The food was prepared and arranged perfectly. The cook, Hector, is obviously skilled, but also thoughtful in his arrangement of the dish. The service provided by Ysnelda was great and the manager Isabel was gracious and welcoming. Definitely a great location to visit.

Vladislava Kursheva I had low expectations to find something delightful near there. But this place is a great discovery. The food was delicious. Especially grilled seafood platter. Yummy. Service fast and welcoming.
