Signature Dishes

Charlie's is an out-of-the-way Quonset hut diner that goes back decades but has only recently been given a spiffy-kitschy 1950s interior makeover that includes plenty of glass bricks, neon, and chrome-banded stools at the counter. Specialties of the house include huge pancakes and Springfield's signature dish, the horseshoe.
