Join the Don & Charlie's Champions Email League!

I was raised in Rogers Park, which is located on the North Side of Chicago. I grew up, as did my partner, in a restaurant family. We dined out three to four days a week. I remember as a young boy (weather permitting) walking with my family to two North Side restaurant landmarks - Sally's and Miller's Steak House. Both were famous for Prime steaks, ribs and chicken. It was impossible to eat at either one and not see someone you knew. Both restaurants had a loyal staff that had been with them for many years, so the service was friendly, professional and caring.

I grew up eating, tasting and trying new food items and learned to appreciate food that was prepared from scratch with no thought ever given to skimping on quality. I learned to love the hustle and bustle of restaurants. It's no wonder restaurants were to become my profession and those standards would become my own.

Don & Charlie's opened in 1981. Our goal was very simple…be the best that we could be and always care for our guests. Years later that is still our goal. The staff and I hope to welcome you at Don & Charlie's.
