Here's what the website said about Charlie's:
You don't need a ton of bells and whistles to make an irresistible burger, and Charlie's Hamburgers in Folsom is proof. The original location was a bare-bones building that didn't have the room for a fryer, but in 2019, the business moved to a bigger spot so it could crank out some crispy fries with every order. Snag yourself a plain ol' hamburger, then decide on toppings and whether or not you want to double- or even triple-down on the beef patty.
The 237 E. Macdade Boulevard burger joint has 4.5 stars based on 1,136 Google reviews.
"Absolute classic. Smash-style burgers that are so good, you’ll be back soon enough," one reviewer said. "Staff is cool, place is spotless."
"I have been to Charlies hundreds of time," another wrote. "I never get a chance to take pics of the burgers because they always get eaten before I get a chance."
"I can honestly say, it is the best cheeseburger I have ever eaten and very reasonable prices," someone said in their review. "Service is quick and the staff are very friendly and helpful."
"No bells no whistles, just great classic hamburgers and hand spun milkshakes," another five-star review says.
