    This place has been in operations for decades. We have been twice and the burgers do not disappoint. The burgers were filled with fresh ingredients. There was something for our vegetarian family too. Strangely the last time we went they were out of French fries but we didn't have any room on our stomach's because we were all very satisfied with the burgers alone. Side note we did see a bear run from the lake, cross the street and into the woods while eating out on the picnic tables out front. That was exciting.

    Me, my wife and daughter.Love going to the char-pit when we're visiting King's Beach. They have a good variety, and the food has always been delicious. We have never had a bad experience with the employees. Always very friendly.

    Was visiting the weekend of April 19th. While down the street playing at the park and beach we worked up an appetite. When we are away from home and in a new place we like to try places that have been around awhile and look it. I think it means they've stood the test of time and are worth a visit. So onward to Char-pit we go. Parking is small. there are tables outside and some inside. The inside of the place is pretty cramped but totally gave a vintage feel. Person who took my order was nice. Wasn't rushing me as I decided what I wanted. We were hungry so we needed these meals to do what they needed to. My husband, daughters boyfriend and granddaughter had burgers and fries. I on the other hand wanted some fish and chips. I also ordered some onion rings for the table. Burgers were grilled to well. Vegetables were vibrant in color and looked fresh. French fries were nice and fresh out the fryer. My fish and chips were "eh". I mean I didn't expect a fresh catch either. Onion rings were well battered and fried crispy. We didn't have room for a shake or soft serve but we'll make a mental note of it for next time!

    We had caught a local concert a stones throw away at a venue. We were looking for a quick bite during a 3rd act, and wound up here. They have an Old school vibe like Burger Pit back in the days in San Jose. It had a Char boil pit and the Burgers looked amazing coming off the line. It did take a while for the Burgers to be cooked, but it was cooked to order and the fries were super crispy. There were a few people ahead of us and it took at least 15-20 mins for our Burgers, but it was definitely worth the wait. My son wanted a shake, but the cashier said they were out of milk. I had seen a few shakes made after our order, but it was the Burgers they stole the show. I had the Double Cheeseburger and my son ordered a single. It was pretty awesome and the Char grill made the difference and also the perfect of fresh produce and no mayo. I had tried the Onions rings and they were super crispy, too. Some seating inside and a few patio tables outside made it perfect for a picnic-like vibe. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Kings Beach area.
