Charlie Joseph's Downtown

Step back in time? Yea, thank you very much I think I will! Loved this little gem in downtown LaGrange. The hot dogs are excellent, reasonably priced (imagine that!!) and the atmosphere is cozy and nostalgic. By cozy, I mean it’s small. Sit at the counter if you can or in one of the small 2-toppers beside the bar. How rare to find a family run restaurant that has been in business for over 100 years. I dare say not much has changed-and that’s a good thing. We had the slaw dog and the kraut dog and highly recommend both. If you are in the area as stop here is a “must-do”.

Great little place…step back into time. Very accommodating with the no bun option too! You must try the ice cream sandwiches are made with FRESH baked cookies!! Family owned. Great friendly staff. We enjoyed our meal and visiting!

We came here while in Lagrange for court. The cheeseburgers were delicious! Cool old school vibe. Friendly service.

Wow, what an experience! It’s too bad these types of places are disappearing, because they have so much character. We were able to find a seat at the counter and our order was quickly taken on a notepad. I got a cheeseburger and chili dog with onions. My wife got a chili dog with onions and slaw dog and we both got chips and a drink. It was fun to watch them steam the hotdogs and cheeseburgers to order and you can tell this place is loved. A true hidden gem if you’re in LaGrange.

We were out exploring LaGrange and came across this iconic eating establishment. Being that we love hot dogs and it was lunchtime it was perfect timing. They have outside window orders , counter front and narrow dining tables inside. 2 doors to get down either side. We sat at the counter seats, menu right in front of you, quick and friendly service. They were pumping out boiled dogs on steamed buns and steamed burgers. We were later informed at the brewery down the street (Wild Leap) the grilled chicken sandwich is also the bomb.....next time. Anyway I had a chile dog, double onions and a line of mustard made perfectly, bag of chips and a Coke. The wife had a chile dog, chip and a Coke. I enjoyed it and the atmosphere so much I had another chile dog..???? We prefer these types of establishments to the chains anyway!
