mmm-yoso!!! is being written by Cathy today. Kirk and His Missus are on vacation.
The former Bistro Louisa closed around the time of the pandemic, eventually re-opening as Chicken Charlie's Table, a second/different named location of Chicken Charlie's Fry BQ (which ended up also closing during the pandemic) and now the Table is the only sit-down restaurant related to the 'infamous' County Fair Chicken Charlie booths.
The sleek interior is utilized well, along with outdoor seating.
There are a few nods to the County Fair painted discretely on the walls.
The menu is extensive enough, many adult beverages are offered. There is a daily special listed on Facebook, or you can ask when you are seated.
On this day, the special was Fish and Chips ($14) (substitute tots $1). (Regular price of fish and chips is $18.75).
Good size (4 ounce) pieces of fish, expertly fried in a crisp, light batter so the fish was cooked well but still flaky (not rubbery; a fault I find with some fish and chips orders). The tots were quite nice, also fried to a nice crunch.
As soon as I saw a beet salad ($14.74) on the menu, I knew that was going to be my order. I added grilled chicken for $5. Red and yellow beets (plenty), Feta cubes, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber and onion on lettuce. A very good portion of grilled chicken. This was a filling meal.
Saturday and Sunday include breakfast choices (and specials). Good food, good people.
