GREAT PLACE, GREAT FOOD
OUTSTANDING, attentive service. Food is fantastic. Great view of Fulton Harbor. Every time I'm in Fulton, I have to stop by Charlotte's.    [19 May 2003 03:51:30]

JUST AVERAGE
After reading a great review and seeing a very nice building, my wife and I went there for dinner. Nothing special. Staff nice but not attentive. Expected more interesting menu. If all you want is fish, there are better plaaces in town.    [08 Sep 2006 19:34:57]

A long established seafood emporium, well-known to visitors by word of mouth. If you ask where to go for a first class seafood experience while visiting the Texas middle coast area, Charlotte's is one of the top suggestions from locals and previous patrons alike. A must go-to place as in Guidos of Galveston, Texas.    [09 Jul 2004 16:07:41]

Customer Attentiveness--Improvement Needed
Restaurant staff friendly,were seated immediately. However, long wait before waitress took drink order. Had to ask for silverware for four members of our party. Inattentive to bar drinks ordered and refreshing of water and iced tea; appetizer(forgotten) and main course arrived while we were still eating salad and appetizer. Soft-shell crab was delicious, shrimp was okay; veggies were great. After investing approximately $200 for dinner the night before, we were not allowed to use the restrooms use during the parade even though we were patrons the night before and could show our receipt. Travelers/tourists such as ourselves bring a lot of money into town during the Oysterfest and Winter season. We felt unappreciated by this restaurant and will probably not dine there again.    [05 Mar 2007 20:21:23]

I live close to this restaurant
Charlotte Plummer's is one of the cleanest places in town. The food is good many times though there have been some off times-- but service is not always top notch for the cost, and I think it's a shame but it's because they seem understaffed. The bus boy had to help us, the waitress forgot us, I suspect our meal may have waited for us a bit. I really like the food as a rule, but they just don't have the service they need for a restaurant of this caliber.    [17 Jun 2007 22:01:56]

This place is recommended by all and I do not know why. Our first mistake, other than choosing a different place to dine, was not specifying a place to sit when placing our name on the 30 minute wait list. Being "out-of-towners" we were not familiar with the restaurant and all should be warned about the upstairs, outside patio in the wind. For our wait, we were pointed toward the "bar" area or told we could go to the shop across the street and they would call us there. The "store across the street" was a sleazy, cheesy tourist- trap with chotzkeys in every size and color, so we returned to the bar. The "bar" was a joke and more a holding tank, full of screaming kids and other impatient diners.By the way, it is a cash only bar and we were made to feel very out-of-place when we asked if our drinks could be added to our dinner tab as we had no cash with us. When our name was finally called, we were seated upstairs, outside on the patio, in the WIND. The wind was bad enough, blowing over our beer bottles and sending crackers and soup flying while a seagull christened a nearby table, but the food was even worse. We started with the crab stuffed jalapenos. WHERE"S THE CRAB? We skipped the soup and salad bar because it was back downstairs and is serve yourself. We ordered the seafood platter, "grilled". The fish was unidentifiable and was more like a chicken breast than a fish fillet, texture and all. We could not taste or identify any crab (again) in the crab cake which was more a large deep fried, breadcrumb, hushpuppy. The hushpuppy was more like a round cracker which exploded when I tried to break off a piece because it was so overcooked. The "grilled" shrimp was not grilled but blackened with jerk spices leaving it also unidentifiable and the boiled shrimp was was ice cold (ok, possibly due to the gale force wind blowing across the deck). The condiments were all served in little plastic throwaway cups with press-on lids, that became a challenge in the wind as well. The butter for the bread came in those little foil wrapped bricks... we had to stick the empty foil wrappers, smeared, upside down on the table to avoid more flying objects and stains on our clothing. We finally began to laugh about it, as the evening became a larger and larger disappointment. It took a loving partner and a real sense of humor to get through the experience and pay $60+ for the privilege. Other diners all around us were verbalizing the same complaints yet joined in on the funnier, lighter side of the experience as well. We all choked on the awful food, tolerated the drive through style service and dodged food, beverages, napkins, condiments and seagulls which flew through the night skies of our dining experience. I think the little girl at the table next to us summed it up best when she loudly exclaimed, "I guess we won't be coming back to this joint!".    [26 May 2008 13:39:58]
