What People Are Saying About Charlie Goodnight's Restaurant

In Short
Friends and couples out for a few laughs make the Triangle's largest comedy club one of the busiest places in town. Jerry Seinfeld, Rosie O'Donnell and Robin Williams have performed at this bright three-story hot spot. The first two floors house the large stage and lots of seating while an upscale restaurant and bar occupies the third. Come early to dine on traditional American fare and get first dibs on a front-row view of the show.

It is true that Goodnight's is in disrepair...but that's never mattered since it's always been about the standup comedy there. Unfortunately for Goodnight's, the comedy has taken a downward turn also. Stay away from Fajita Marguerita Night on Wednesday's...it is nothing but hacks! There is nooooo local talent whatsoever! Just awful!!!!

Following is an email comment that was sent to the owner's of Goodnight's Comedy Club: Unfortunately, this is NOT GOOD FEEDBACK! My wife and I, and a few friends came to your Club last night (amateur night) for dinner and the show. We have not been there for a few years, and it was not how we remembered it. The place was run down and filthy. My wife was quite concerned about sanitation and having dinner there. Even the before entering the Club; one of the two outside entry lights was burned out (left side facing), the front windows looked as though they haven't been cleaned in months. There were cobwebs all over the interior. Discolored and bare spots in the paint (and this was just in the foyer)! Electrical boxes hanging off the walls! And this is all before you even get downstairs... should I even mention the Men's restroom and the peeling floor paint, and apparently you cannot afford a hand towel dispenser! Without writing an essay... the place was a DUMP !!! Are you in financial distress? If not, you certainly will be soon if changes are not made. We were not the only people to notice the decay. On a positive note, you would be a great candidate for Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares TV show! BIG NOTE! Just Realized that CitySearch's 5-Star Grade System is Far From Accurate ! The Rating above is 4 out of 5 Stars ...if you divide 38 Stars into 13 Reviews...which is what they have, that comes out to a RATING of 2.9 STARS ..... what's up with tht CitySearch ?????

Beware--make sure your beverages are what you order. Orange juice served in place of margueritas. Manager rude. Service slow because not enough staff. Owner will not call despite several emails requesting. They also serve drinks removed from one table to another. I SAW IT HAPPEN AFTER i PLACE MY FINGERS IN THE PITCHER!!!! fOOD BEST OF NIGHT AND WAS NOT WORTH THE $10.07 PAID FOR FAJITAS. GUESS OWNER DOES NOT CARE
