mmm-yoso!!! is being written by Cathy today. Kirk and His Missus are on vacation.
The former Bistro Louisa closed around the time of the pandemic, eventually re-opening as Chicken Charlie's Table, a second/different named location of Chicken Charlie's Fry BQ (which ended up also closing during the pandemic) and now the Table is the only sit-down restaurant related to the 'infamous' County Fair Chicken Charlie booths.
The sleek interior is utilized well, along with outdoor seating.
There are a few nods to the County Fair painted discretely on the walls.
The menu is extensive enough, many adult beverages are offered. There is a daily special listed on Facebook, or you can ask when you are seated.
On this day, the special was Fish and Chips ($14) (substitute tots $1). (Regular price of fish and chips is $18.75).
Good size (4 ounce) pieces of fish, expertly fried in a crisp, light batter so the fish was cooked well but still flaky (not rubbery; a fault I find with some fish and chips orders). The tots were quite nice, also fried to a nice crunch.
As soon as I saw a beet salad ($14.74) on the menu, I knew that was going to be my order. I added grilled chicken for $5. Red and yellow beets (plenty), Feta cubes, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber and onion on lettuce. A very good portion of grilled chicken. This was a filling meal.
Saturday and Sunday include breakfast choices (and specials). Good food, good people.
Chicken Charlie's Table 12457 Rancho Bernardo Road San Diego 92128 (858) 432-1202 Website Closed Monday. Open Tues-Thurs 11:30-8, Fri 11:30-9, Sat 9-9, Sun 9-8
I would’ve ordered the beet salad too:)

It's a great salad, Kat. Beets are one of my favorite vegetables.

Wow! The menu is much larger than at the original location. Fried lobster sounds tasty.

Well, two of those pages are adult beverages, Soo. I think the choices are enough-something for everyone-without being overwhelming. Once we have time, I do want to stop in for breakfast.
