Charlie & Barney’s first location opened in 1977 in Downtown Indianapolis and still proudly serves our Award Winning Chili, fresh hand-packed all beef burgers, Nathan’s Hotdogs and fresh, made to order salads. Charlie & Barney’s name has become synonymous with great taste and high quality food. We are committed to those qualities every single day.

After years of development and lots of trial and error, the Charlie & Barney’s team has put together a variety of foodservice programs that work not only in traditional foodservice outlets but in non-traditional locations such as convenience stores, travel plazas, bowling centers, food courts and many other venues. Charlie & Barney’s also offers a completely investment-free foodservice option that allows the client to simply stock their refrigerated shelves with Charlie & Barney’s microwavable portions and sells in a pure retail situation.

Charlie & Barney’s has the foodservice solution for those who are seeking a high quality, convenient, simple product to offer their customers. Charlie & Barney’s is very proud to offer these to you.
