Bad business model. - Edit
The food is good, but the atmosphere is slightly hostile. You order at a kiosk while music is blasting in your face. Then a group of people prepare your order and drop it on the counter. There is zero human interaction, they don’t even speak to you.
Read moreThe tables and seating area are always put away one to two hours prior to closing time. So if you show up during in that time window, prepare to eat in your car, or while standing on the street.
It’s weird for sure.
Pros: Food was good.
Cons: Weird vibes.

Fun Experience - Edit
I took my mom who is not vegan and has always enjoyed McDonald’s. She thought it was really fun. I enjoyed their French fries as they reminded me of McDonald’s fries. The not chicken nuggets were delicious. Their burgers reminded me of McDonald’s but were more substantial and tasted better. We also tried the Mr.FluffHead which was delicious and creamy.

Better Quality McDonalds - Edit
I've wanted to try this place for a couple years & finally had the chance to. Did not disappoint! Not exactly like McDonalds but pretty close.
Read moreIt really hit the spot.
There was One Vegan & two non-Vegans & we all really liked it.
We tried a Cheeseburger Meal, a Mr. Royale w/Cheese, a Mr.
Sunday (Chik'n Sammie), a Sausage Breakfast Sammie w/Tots & some Chik'n Nugs. It was all good but I especially liked the Chik'n Sammie. It was one of the better Vegan Chik'n Sandwiches i've had.
They were out of several items including The Mr. Chuck (similar to Big Mac) which I REALLY wanted to try😒

Pros: ALL VEGAN❣️, Great Nostalgic Comfort Food
Cons: they were out of several items, not very fast service, some of the fries didn't seem very fresh

McDonald's for vegans - Edit
Pros: it does taste just like the McDonald's you remember! Cons: it's absolutely just as unhealthy as the McDonald's you remember. It hits all the right notes but at a premium - you pay restaurant prices for fast-food quality food. The quality is also a bit hit or miss - the 'chicken' nuggets are sometimes dry and stale, the fries are sometimes limp and soggy. But every now and then, this is the McDonald'[censored] you need.

McDonald’s for Vegans - Edit
Much like everyone else says, it does taste much like McDonald’s but in someway, healthier even though you’re having burgers and fries. Maybe it’s the no animal(s) in the meal. But yeah, it’s great for a burger meal or if you crave McDonald’s. Even if I wasn’t a vegan I’d choose Mr. Charlie’s over McDonald’s.
Read morePros: Taste, Vibe, Fresh/Made to order

Nostalgic notes hit: 3.75 ⭐️ - Edit
This spot hits the old school McD’s nostalgia experience. No vintage super size options here, however an all around fun and unique take on fast food but most importantly cruelty free.
Read moreI had to deduct some points as the fries were not so good, tasted like they were sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Considering they were busy that’s not acceptable.
The burger, nuggets were simple and tasty and hit the notes of ol’ McD’s. Even the buns for the burger were impressively spot on. 🍔
Pros: Cruelty free / vegan, Solid branding makes for a fun environment

States closes at 10pm. - Edit
They advertise closing at 10pm, however they wouldn’t take my order at 9:55. Make that make sense. The grocery store closes at 10, however if I walk in at 9:55, I am allowed to shop. Open for business until a certain time is open for business until said time.
Read moreCons: Stops taking orders 30 minutes prior to closing

Pretty accurate McDonalds clone - Edit
I think they pretty much nail what they’re trying to do. But how do they not have their own version of flurries yet? It would be amazing and, unlike McDonalds, theirs could actually work!

This place took me back to my childhood. It's expensive and worth every penny. By far my favorite restaurant I've ever been to.

It was ok - Edit
Kinda expensive for what you get. The Mr. Sunday chix sandwich was good. At this location they don't have any bathrooms for paying customers so that kinda sucked.

Vegan fast food - Edit
Honestly tasted just like McDonalds. Nothing special, just impossible patties and chicken patties. Really did not care for the nuggets. The texture and flavor were awful. The white sauce was too sweet. Pretty expensive for what it is, but I suppose it’s for the gimmick. I thought Hart House was better.

Mr. Charlie’s Review - Edit
🍔 Not a Cheeseburger:
Read moreThe cheeseburger had a classic, nostalgic taste with a solid plant-based twist.
🌱 No a Crispy Chicken Sandwich:
The chicken sandwich was crispy, savory, and well-seasoned with great balance.
⭐️ Overall:
Fun, flavorful, and worth the visit if you’re craving plant-based comfort food! 9/10.

Fun food and decor! - Edit
Super fun experience. The decor is so bright and fun and cheeky. I had a burger, and the flavor was exactly what I remember from Mc D as a kid. The fries were hot and crispy, and the green sauce was BOMB! I love how the Frowny Meal includes everything I wanted to try: sandwich, nuggets, fries, and drink. An employee there voluntarily went out of his way to help us understand where to park, which is just a whole other level of service. So helpful! ❤️ #Veganuary
Read morePros: great burger and fries, AMAZING green sauce, artistic, silly decor
Cons: make sure to read parking signs/meters

Nostalgic burger - Edit
Really yummy burger, hit the spot for nostalgia. Also got the tater tots and a vegan sauce which was full of flavour, a bit pricey was $41AUD for 2 burgers and tater tots but I think that’s LA 🤷♀️

Really loved the burger and fries. What a throwback! Limited seating, reminding you that almost everything is easier in LA if you have a car.

We come here a lot! - Edit
Don’t sleep on Mr. Charlie’s! We love this place, the food is great, like idealized nostalgic McD’s. The staff are super nice and seem to actually like working there which makes a very welcoming environment.
Read moreMondays get $0.99 cent burgers (limit 2/person) and Wednesdays get buy one get one chicken sandwiches. You can pair the deal with a meal which is a nice option, especially since their meal comes with nuggets!
Pros: Good deal days, Great good , Lovely staff
MarkoHlibchuk
Better than Monty's? I'm in town for a couple of days and need to choose between the two.
Read morenovabird
probably too late to answer you now, but yeah we prefer Mr. Charlie's to Monty's, but it's probably just a question of personal taste. Plant-Powered Fast Food is another worthy competitor!

Greattttt - Edit
Was able to benefit from the monday promotion (got 2 burgers for 1,98$!). The burgers were amazing but the nuggets I didn't like too much (they had a fishy taste).

Run, don’t walk!! - Edit
The Mr Chuck was perfectly delicious, it never fell out of its burger bum and it was perfectly balanced !!!Lucky, we arrived on a Wednesday and the not chicken burger is a two for one! So I added pickles onto ours and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken patty was crispy on the outside and really tasty and not stodgy. Buns on all burgers were fresh and delightful and the fries were way better than the “you know who’s”!

fun to try once - Edit
It was kind if fun to try out this fake McDonald's. The food was fine, and did taste like how I remember McDonald's tasted many years ago. There are plenty of good vegan fast food options in the area, though, so I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here.

Really fun concept. The burgers are amazing. The cheese is even melty! The chicken fingers were too similar to meat chicken for my taste, but I can see why others would like it

Love this place! - Edit
Bomb burgers! A little pricey 🥴 but it’s soooooo good!! I wish they had seating inside or even upstairs and a bathroom so I can wash my hands. When I’m in a mood for a burger , this is my spot. As a vegan, it’s nice to get a little taste of Mc’ds in a vegan version.
