Got takeaway recently and it was awesome!! We got chicken and ribs with various sides like rice, mashed baked and fries. Honestly one of the best takeout meals I've had. Ordered and picked it up 15 mins later. La Source - a Charlo tradition!!

This place is a local favorite. The atmosphere is very local centric (fishing equipment, Acadian flag, etc.), so a perfect spot if you want an authentic North Shore experience. The wait staff are very nice. The most popular time to go is Thursday evenings for wing night. It gets very busy at this time, and wait times can be pretty long. Overall, I highly recommend.

We went here today for dinner, with 2 adults and 3 children. This was my first time going to this establishment. Upon arrival we were greeted by our server and served a homemade dinner roll with butter/margarine. Point to be noted **being served bread before the meal at a restaurant is usually a good indication the food takes time.** Plan ahead to take the time to enjoy this restaurant at leisure. An hour or two, would be ideal as to NOT blame the restaurant for being slow preparing your meal. If you are looking for quick pre-made foods go to a fast-food restaurant, this is not for you. It is in my opinion, a highly recommended restaurant for those who want a leisurely experience. That being said, this is a restaurant with a higher type of dining experience in the Northern New Brunswick area. The idea of waiting for food in a restaurant that serves quality, and delicious meals seems to have been forgotten. We're in 2023, there are staffing issues everywhere. I love food, and dining out, when I say dining, I'm not talking about take-out or fast-food. If that's your taste stick to them. If your looking for amazing service in a friendly atmosphere this is worth the stop. We had 2 picky eaters with us and found something for everyone on the menu. Menu items from poutine, hot dogs, sandwiches, nachos, steak, seafood and more. We ordered the Fisherman's Platter, Surf & Turf with shrimp, Escargot au gratin, wings and fries, and a grilled cheese sandwich. Our server was new, friendly and very attentive to our table. She approached us often to make sure we did not need anything. The children were given coloring books and crayons while we waited. The server also apologized a few times for the wait. The portion of food for the price was worth every penny. The Fisherman's Platter was served with mussels, fried clams, a piece of battered fish, large shrimp, choice of fried or sauteed scallops, choice of starch (fries, mashed potatoes, baked potato, or rice), tartar sauce, lemon wedge, herbed garlic butter and a salad. There was enough food to feed my 8 year old daughter and myself and I honestly believe I would not have been able to eat the entire portion alone. The shrimp, and sauteed scallops were not overcooked and the fried clams and fries were not greasy. The fries were homemade and delicious. The escargot au gratin was well prepared in garlic butter with herbs and a delicious and generous topping of oooey goooey delicious cheese. The surf and turf was also a generous portion that could not be completed. The steak was a little more well done than the medium rare requested, but was still tender and delicious. The children were happy with their selections and there was very little that didn't make it into their tummies. Again, for a relaxing dining experience, I would highly recommend. I had no idea about the wait times, as it was my first experience but I do know enough about restaurants and dining to know that bread is meant to help tide you over before the meal gets to you, especially in restaurants when it is known to have a longer wait time.
