Bristol Road just picked up a new spot for a quick bite, as Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings opened Thursday in Burton, taking over the former Wendy's at 1230 East Bristol Road, just east of the Tim Hortons on the Bristol Road strip. The counter-service shop brings the chain's cheesesteaks, wings and specialty loaded fries to Genesee County as the brand's second local location.

According to Charleys, the Burton shop is listed at 1230 E. Bristol Rd. and shows daily hours of 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., along with a local phone number and online ordering options. The site also points customers to delivery partners for takeout and catering.

Where It Landed

Cars 108 reports the new Charleys opened in the former Wendy's building next to Tim Hortons and notes the menu will include cheesesteaks, boneless wings and classic bone-in wings. The station also points out this is Charleys' second Genesee County location, joining the chain's Flint outpost on West Pierson Road.

Menu Highlights

Charleys' national menu mixes classic Philly-style cheesesteaks with modern sides, with Kimchi Fries, Louisiana Cajun Fries and cheese fries listed alongside shakes and real-fruit lemonades. According to Charleys, the Burton location is expected to offer the same loaded-fries selections along with multiple wing styles.

A Boost for Bristol Road

The opening is one of several recent restaurant moves in Genesee County, with Cars 108 grouping Charleys' debut alongside other local additions as part of a modest uptick in openings. The station also pointed readers to nearby new spots in Fenton and Davison when reporting on the area’s restaurant activity.

The new Charleys is open daily from mid-morning through late evening and will offer walk-in, pickup and delivery options similar to other locations. Early visitors will be the first to decide whether the kimchi fries and wing flavors become local favorites, but for now the opening fills a longtime vacant quick-service spot on Bristol Road.
