Non-Meat Options

vegetable dish at Charlie and JakesCharlie and Jake’s is known for our delicious smoked meats. We have what many in the area consider to be the best smoked ribs in Brevard County. People also love our smoked chicken and pulled pork. But not everybody is a meat-eater, and we understand that. This is why we offer vegetarian options.

The History of Key Lime Pie

history of key lime pieLike most Florida restaurants, we offer key lime pie on our desert menu. It is truly delicious and if you love the sweetness and tartness of key lime pie, you must try ours.
