5 /5 W Fermier: I took my car in for service early this morning and rather than wait at the dealer, I asked to be dropped off at a local restaurant for breakfast. So here I am at Charlie’s Family Restaurant by Dee located at 2614 Lakeland Hills Blvd., Ste 8 in the northern end of Lakeland. This is a relatively small restaurant located at the end of a strip mall. The staff were friendly and welcoming when I arrived. They have a large menu featuring breakfast served all day. (They also have a lunch menu.) I ordered a feta and spinach 3-egg omelet which came with a side of hash browns and a house made biscuit, served sliced in half, buttered, and grilled! Yum! To round out my meal I ordered crispy bacon and a glass of orange juice. The restaurant was busy and the waitstaff were all helping each other out so things ran like a well-oiled machine. The omelet was delicious, and the hash browns were crispy and well browned! The rashers were paper thin but crispy, the way I like them. I was very satisfied with my meal and will not hesitate to return and try more of their offerings! (Like I said, the menu is huge!)
