Char Hut is a clean, friendly, fresh establishment. I have enjoyed their food for years. The cost may be a little more than you might expect for a burger chain. However, that is only due to the fact that their meals are cooked and served fresh to order, right in front of you. The only frozen products are the chicken tenders; everything else, from the produce to the meats are never frozen, but kept handy in refrigerated areas and thrown away within days if not used. The staff is kind and considerate to their customers needs and the establishment is always clean and tidy. I have and will continue to recommend this restaurant to people.
