When it comes to restaurants, Bolingbrook has it covered.

We have some great local places that many would consider community gems; we have some restaurants that aren't exactly mom-and-pop but are unique to the area; and we certainly—for better or for worse—have plenty of chains lining our main streets.

But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not. 

That's where you come in.

We're not egotistical enough to tell you what restaurants you do and don't like. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark.

That's why we run The Friday Food Critic, where each week, we put a different restaurant on the chopping block. You tell us how you feel about it, what dishes are good, who has the best drink specials and so forth.

This week, we review Charlie's Restaurant, located at Clow International Airport.

Here's what Mike Mackaluso, a Bolingbrook Patch reader who gave Charlie's Restaurant five-out-of-five stars, had to say about Charlie's Restaurant:

They have great food and a good wait staff. The planes flying in and out are a nice touch as well. Good place for a family!

To review Charlie's Restaurant, simply click on their name (or THIS LINK). You'll be directed toward their community listing in our business directory, where you can rate them on a five-star system and write a personal review.

At Bolingbrook Patch, we believe your words of wisdom are better than any food critic.

So what are you waiting for? Let the reviewing begin!
