Update. Closed after only a month. (sigh)
Charlie D, I think that catfish you served me never worked a day in its life. How else could it be so juicy and melt in your mouth tender? You coated it with a crispy breaded shell and served it up with the HOT hot sauce, mmmmm. I don't know what other magic you've got going in the kitchen but I aim to find out real soon with a plate of chicken and waffles.
Downtown convention goers, when you get tired of walking around, looking at all the pretty lights and eating at chain restaurants, hop on the light rail going east and hop off at 12th street, the first stop east of downtown. Cross the street and you are at Charlie D's where you can get yourself some local hospitality and homemade comfort food before going back to your meetings. Open for lunch and early dinner at present, I noticed they have some lunch specials if you are on a tight schedule. Just for fun, take a peek at the iconic barbershop in the same building before you depart.
