    Every time I go to charlottes kitchen in indianola it's always great food and great service! The crab Rangoon Mac and cheese bowl is my favorite of theirs. Cheese curds and fries are also really good.

    I am quite literally addicted. I love that you can turn anything into a salad or wrap...and the food is just amazing. My favorite is the Crab Rangoon Chicken in a wrap. The fries are perfect and the ranch is perfect as well. Just love the food here.
