Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

First time trying this place and ordered the meatball po boy, Thai style wings, the perch po boy, the arugula salad, and a southern tier pumpking beer. The meatball po boy was the best meatball sandwich I’ve ever had. It had delicious sauce, cheese, and high quality meat. I also loved the bread it comes on! The Thai wings were so unique and delicious, you could tell the meat is fresh and high quality. The arugula salad was a great addition to balance out the meal. My boyfriend really liked the perch po boy and complimented the huge serving. Everything we got was only $66! Extremely reasonable!!

Are you kidding me? As I said today while we were there, this place is INSANE. In the best way. We had the Thai cheesesteak and it was to die for, also tried their new item the hot bun and it was devoured in minutes. Absolutely will be back, happy to call this the new go to place for dinner.

The Charlevoix is not your typical neighborhood bar. Most bars seem to specialize in just one or two dishes, but the menu here offers both quality and diversity. Furthermore, the ambiance is hip and welcoming. I've had two of the cocktails; the Oh, You Again and the Hot Hot Heat. The former reminded me of a mojito, while the latter was a bit spicy for my liking. My go-to dishes are the buttermilk fried chicken mini and the burger. The burger is a Monday only special. In 2024, the Detroit Metro Times released a list of must try burgers, and Charlevoix's made the cut. To say the least, the spot on the list was well-deserved. Although the chicken sandwich is listed as "mini," it's larger than your average slider. It's topped with cucumbers rather than pickles. I initially thought that was odd, but it ended up being a nice touch. As for some other menu items, the sliders were enjoyable, with the highlight being the French onion cheese. I will say, I do prefer the burger. The fish taco was standard, but worth trying. The fried smashed potatoes had a good mix of flavors. The item's description on the menu provides a better idea of what you'll get than the name alone. The wings are some of the better ones I've had in the Pointes. The spam fried rice was absolutely delicious, as is the pork katsu sandwich. The sandwich is the most hearty of all the dishes mentioned. The Charlevoix spices things up by occasionally rotating menu items, and by announcing intriguing specials on social media. I do wish the tables had regular seating instead of backless stools. Aside from that minor critique, The Charlevoix has some of the best bar food in the Grosse Pointe area.
