The 45 best spots for happy hour in Mount Pleasant

In my top 3 breweries in the Charleston area. High quality, creative beer. Wolves at the Door is a personal favorite. Its available only in fall and winter but worth the wait.

First time here! We love all their beers and were blown away with the whole brewery experience. We had the Oktoberfest specials and they were probably the best I’ve ever had. The absolute best bratwurst, pork schnitzel, and German potato salad ever! I loved the new Carolinian beer and we had several others. The Apple Cider Donuts is another of my fall favorites. Christy offered us a brewery tour and her knowledge was amazing. Loved every minute of our afternoon here and can’t wait to go back.

Fast and friendly service. Was not expecting to have some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had at a brewery. Very solid beer selection, sours are great, don’t sleep on the kolsch. Super clean and refreshing

Fabulous experience. Came with my best friend who is in the beer industry; we were sent to meet up with Scott Shor. Because he stepped out, he put us in touch with Julie, a manager, who happened to be at the door. She was super friendly and engaging. She found us a great spot at the bar and made sure we were introduced to the bartender, Hannah. Scott came shortly afterward and gave us a tour of the brewery, which was spotless clean and cool to experience. Aside from getting VIP treatment, the tap room has a great atmosphere, food, 22 lines of excellent beer and great swag. You won’t be disappointed.

It is just a bar, and i don't drink. BUT the cauliflower appetizer was the most delicious appitizer I've ever had. Next time it will just be the main coarse. Like I'm going to dream of that and can't wait to have it again. Server hit it on the head when he brought it out. I always have the servers pick what i eat. The sandwich was good, but not amazing. GET the cauliflower!

If you’re looking for a place in Charleston that truly feels like a community gathering spot, Edmund’s Oast Brewing Company hits the mark. Whether you’re stopping by for food and drinks, or you’re showing up early on a weekend to catch the Premier League, this place has the atmosphere down perfectly. The beer selection is always on point—interesting without being pretentious. There’s something for every style: crisp lagers, rich stouts, citrusy IPAs, and a rotating lineup that keeps things fresh. The food is far better than your typical brewery fare as well. It’s the kind of menu where you’ll say, “I’ll try something new next time,” but then you end up ordering the same thing again because it’s just that good. Match days are a whole experience here. Edmund’s Oast is home to the Charleston Arsenal supporters group, and if you’ve never watched a match with them, you’re missing out. The beer garden fills up with scarves, chants, and the shared joy (and occasional heartbreak) that only Premier League fans understand. Even if you’re not an Arsenal supporter, the energy is infectious and the crowd welcoming. The bartenders deserve a ton of credit too. They’re attentive, friendly, and somehow always know how to keep the drinks moving even when the place is packed. You don’t feel like just another customer—there’s a genuine hospitality to the place that makes you want to come back. Whether you’re here for the soccer, the beer, the food, or just to hang out with good people, Edmund’s Oast Brewing Company is one of the best spots in Charleston to settle in and enjoy the day. Highly recommended. Cheers! 🍺⚽

100% recommend booking Edmunds Oast for events. We held our rehearsal dinner at their Brewing Company location and everyone loved it. Their staff, especially our servers, were amazing and took care of our every need. The food was also delicious! Our guests are still talking weeks later about how good the pizza was.

Many patrons outside enjoying the live music - almost thought inside was going to be just as crowded but surprisingly it wasn't. Ordered Crab Cake Sandwich (Lump Crab Cake, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Haus Pickle, Remoulade, Challah Bun). Based off of their menu description, their interpretation left a LOT to be desired. The crab meat was ground and then [panko?] breaded, almost to the consistency of a salmon patty or a black bean burger. While the sandwich had good seafood 'flavor', it certainly left a lot to the imagination as to if there was any lump crab meat at all. Fries were decent but was not satisfied with sandwich at all. Also had a Patio Pounder (not pictured) which is made with strawberry lemongrass grey goose essence, St. Germain, lemonade, soda - was super excited because I love St. Germain and was excited to taste the Strawberry & Lemongrass Infused Grey Goose Essence, however it fell completely flat. Short glass with more ice, lemonade and soda so much so it drowned the taste of the Grey Goose. For the cost, I'm sure it would have been a better drink had it not been so watery. This was my first experience here, so maybe I try them out again at a later date. Hopefully, the next experience will be better than the first.

Delicious food! Went for a Charleston Battery Watch Party and will return again. The portions were big and the flavors superb.

We stopped in for lunch after a busy morning at the Charleston Aquarium and were glad we did. The walk from the aquarium was easy, even with two young kids, and the restaurant’s location and atmosphere were inviting from the start. We were greeted right away and seated indoors, which was a welcome break from the heat. The staff gave the kids their own menus, which made them feel included. The adult menu had a lot of solid options too. I had the single patty burger — it was excellent. Flavorful, fresh, and stacked with tasty toppings. My wife ordered the watermelon goat cheese salad with chicken, and it was a generous portion. She loved it. The kids' meals were also good. The portions were pretty big, so smaller kids might not finish everything, but our older ones had no trouble. Service was friendly and quick. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion sizes. If you're near the aquarium and looking for a relaxed spot with good food and kid-friendly options, this place is worth checking out.

Great beer garden with indoor and outdoor seating and service. Large selection of beers on tap and in bottles/cans. Cocktails as well. Variety of food items, and more than just the typical cheese fries and nacho options. Appetizer menu included wings, pimento cheese bites, eggplant fries, and German style potatoes to name a few. Main dishes we had were the falafel pita, grilled Caesar salad, Jagerschnitzel, and a turkey club. All of us enjoyed our meals. Portions were large. Food was fresh, arrived hot and freshly prepared to the table. The dishes were flavorful and very good. I had the falafel pita. It came open faced and was too big to pick up and eat, needed a fork and knife. Packed with falafel which was crispy on the outside and very flavorful. The pomegranate molasses sauce was a nice addition and added a touch of sweetness without being over powering. Also ordered haus garlic fries which were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and also packed with flavor (and not greasy). Service was good, staff was friendly. A lot of TVs available to watch sports. Friends, couples, and families in attendance.

My husband and I are visiting the area for a few days. This place was recommended by the staff of our hotel and was a short walk. The ambiance was very comfortable and inviting. Sarah took great care of us and was very helpful in selecting beers to our liking. She was very personal and friendly. Since we had plans for dinner later we didn’t want a full meal , but did get a pretzel and loaded tots, which were amazing!

I’m new to Charleston from New York. So I know food and beverage and atmosphere. East Bay Bier Garden is sensational! Furthermore, they respect veterans fire police and first responders and give us a discount. Very nice and patriotic. It’s a far cry from the 1960s when Soldiers - Like Police - were pigs! How times have changed. God Bless America 🇺🇸 Bob PS great chicken Cesare Salad And Alana bartender and her manager Mike - terrific! 😊

The sriracha pineapple wings are surprisingly good ! The bread on the shrimp po boy is dry but the shrimp is tasty. The rest is your typical bar food. They have really fun events !

Exceptional Cocktails and Fresh Oysters at Delaney Oyster House We had dinner at Delaney Oyster House with a party of four and a reservation. We were seated promptly upstairs on the outdoor piazza, which offered a lovely and charming atmosphere. It was a bit warm given the time of day, but still a pleasant spot to enjoy the meal and the Charleston vibe. The oysters were excellent, fresh, briny, and perfectly prepared. One of our entrées, the crispy fish platter, was good, but the real highlight of the evening was the cocktails. The bartender clearly had real talent. We ordered the espresso martinis called “The Famous” and they were truly the best any of us have ever had. Delaney Oyster House delivers a refined yet relaxed dining experience with standout seafood and an exceptional cocktail program. Definitely worth a visit especially if you enjoy great drinks and fresh oysters in a classic Charleston setting.

The food has such a beautiful femininity to it. It tastes like history and depth, and the complexity of balanced hard work. Breathtaking takes on traditional southern flavors. Amazing service! The waiter was so knowledgeable on each plate and he seemed to be inspired by the food as well. Cohesion, sophistication, beauty. 10/10 will return

We took advantage of outdoor dining season in Charleston with dinner on the piazza before the Symphony. If tomatoes are in season, definitely get the tomato & buratta salad - scrumptious! The blue crab rice was delicious, as were the added scallops. It was a perfect evening

Had an amazing dinner at Delaney Oyster House! The service was top-notch—everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and really knowledgeable about the menu, which made the whole experience even better. We started with oysters, and they were incredibly fresh and well-shucked. I also tried the new celery & pear soup and was blown away. It had a perfectly balanced, creamy texture with a soft aroma and the gentle sweetness of pear that made this seasonal dish truly unique. The lobster roll was not only delicious, but it had way bigger chunks of lobster than other places I’ve been to locally. You could really taste the quality and freshness. Overall, great atmosphere, excellent service, and standout dishes. Can’t wait to come back!

We had the most wonderful dining experience at Delaney Oyster House in Charleston. It was recommended by the hotel staff, and it truly lived up to its name. The restaurant is set inside a beautifully restored historic home that feels both elegant and intimate, with soft lighting and a charming Southern warmth that immediately draws you in. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the hostess, whose presence set the tone for the evening. It wasn’t just her smile, it was her essence. She carried a natural warmth and grace that made us feel like guests in someone’s home rather than patrons in a restaurant. Our waitress was equally exceptional. She was attentive, kind, and deeply knowledgeable not only about the menu but also about the town itself. Her thoughtful recommendations and easy conversation made the entire experience feel personal. I always love when a server creates that sense of comfort, and she did it effortlessly. We began the evening with a fernet, which was exactly what I was craving and set the perfect tone for the meal. From there, we took our time and savored each dish. We ordered the spicy shrimp ajillo, the spicy tuna tartare, the peel and eat shrimp, and the steak and scallops. The spicy shrimp ajillo was so good that we ended up ordering it twice. The shrimp were plump and perfectly cooked, coated in a rich, flavorful sauce with just the right touch of spice. The spicy tuna tartare was vibrant and fresh, beautifully balanced in flavor and texture. The peel and eat shrimp were also delicious, though if I had to choose, I’d go for the spicy shrimp ajillo again without hesitation. The steak and scallops were exceptional. The steak was tender, cooked perfectly, and full of flavor, while the scallops were seared to perfection, buttery and delicate. You could truly taste the love and care the chef puts into every plate. Each dish felt intentional and crafted with heart, the kind of food that makes you pause between bites and simply enjoy the moment. We paired our meal with dirty martinis made with Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin, which were smooth, crisp, and perfectly balanced. It all came together for a dining experience that felt unhurried and special. Delaney Oyster House is more than just a restaurant. It’s an experience that blends Southern charm, thoughtful service, and exceptional food in a setting that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve left, and one I’ll happily return to again and again.

I came here again for our anniversary because I loved it when I visited two years ago. Some items on the menu have changed, but the food is still just as delicious and unique. The oyster and sauce combinations were amazing, and the crab fried rice was absolutely the best👍

Fresh, Flavorful, and Indulgent The crab rice was packed with flavor — tender crab woven through aromatic sofrito and perfectly cooked rice. The spicy shrimp was incredibly fresh, with just the right kick. And the cheddar bay hush puppies? Absolute indulgence — crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and dripping with chive-studded, caramelized onion butter. A must-visit for anyone who loves seafood

HOTTEST WINGS IN CHARLESTON !! I am a chili head, hot food fanatic, and have never failed a hot wing challenge in my life. I eat raw habaneros with ease. I ordered the "Moe's Hot" wings and they kicked my ass. Only finished three. Also the wings themselves are super good very fresh, large, little to no fat, cooked perfectly. Staff and cooks are really cool and nice. It was a real gem and worth the walk from down town!! Loved it!

Food is typical to a little better than pub food, wings were good , the chilli cheese fries were pretty good. Service was good considering how busy they were. The atmosphere was really nice for a pub. This place is a must visit do be worried about the neighborhood I know it looks scary, this place is worth it.

Awesome local dive open late for pub Faire and drinks. Definitely a locals place but they are very welcoming and the staff and Atmosphere fantastic! Loved the wings and my server made me the best White Russians I've ever had.

Food is great, pierogis tasted great but we’re not seasoned at all. Add salt. Cuban was great and bronco was too.

We are visiting from Wisconsin on our honeymoon and stopped into this tavern near our Airbnb, and we had such a great time. The blueberry wheat beer was amazing, super refreshing, and full of flavor. It was the perfect drink to enjoy while watching the game. The TVs and setup made it a great spot for sports, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for!! It was so FUN, welcoming, and full of SPORTS SWAG. The locals there were so nice, and you could tell they genuinely love this place, which says a lot. We ordered the pimento cheese and it was fantastic, creamy and flavorful, the perfect snack with a cold beer. Even though our Brewers lost that night, it was still an awesome experience, and we would definitely come back next time we are in town.

What a good find, local place and it has what you want. It has unique sandwiches and amazing appetizers, cold beer and drinks. I’ll be back for sure!

Great food at this little dive bar. Very cool place to visit in Charleston.

Pier 41 Oyster Bar – Mount Pleasant Had dinner at Pier 41 and it was excellent from start to finish. I ordered the lobster roll with coleslaw and started with two appetizers—the mussels and the crab dip. The mussels were served in a fennel and lemongrass broth that was fragrant, delicate, and absolutely delicious—perfect for soaking up with bread. The crab dip was surprisingly light, not overly rich, and had a fresh, clean flavor that let the crab really shine. The lobster roll was also a standout—simple, lightly dressed, and served on a perfectly toasted roll. The coleslaw added just the right amount of crunch and brightness on the side. The prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. It's a great neighborhood seafood spot with a raw oyster bar and a coastal, laid-back vibe. I’ll definitely be back. — eating dinner at Pier 41.

Wow, what a great find! One of the best seafood platters we’ve ever had, anywhere. We shared it (two of us) and it was ample. Great, friendly staff, good beer and cocktails too. Wish we could come back soon. It traveling through and so glad we found this place. You can even see the delicious shrimp under everything else in the photo.

Super cute local spot. Situated on a corner with ample parking. Inside its a cozy vibe with an impressive happy hour menu and very friendly staff! The raw oysters were delicious and the beer on tap was cold. I'm looking forward to trying everything else on the menu! Thanks again 😃

Great seafood for a great value in a cozy restaurant and bar. The service was excellent. Taylor, our server was attentive and friendly. Even though she was crazy busy, she stopped at our table several times to make sure we had everything we needed. She’s a gem!

Decent happy hour worth going to for cheap drinks and small plates. While we were there we saw a few people getting buckets of oysters and shucking themselves which looked like a better alternative to some of the items we tried. It is a small place with just a few tables and pretty much every seat was filled for happy hour. Nothing blew our mind but nothing disappointed us either.

We were looking for good seafood but a little cheaper than the "seaside" places. Not disappointed! Made happy hour and an extra special $1.00 each oysters. They were great. The fried and boiled seafood platters were great too. Our server, Ashley?? was awesome. We arrived at opening time and it got full fast. Very nice time, completely recommend Pier 41 in Mt Pleasant.

The client service was excellent. It's funny since the bartender was the only one that did everything. That night, this area was booming. However, he never abandoned us. He was undoubtedly working. Let's go on to the main reason you are checking in: the food. Just wait; the menu isn't that extensive yet. The food was great. It was all so new. The fact that no signs were put about the food being carried in from the sea just hours before astonished me. It was all well cooked. Sweet and tender were the crab legs. The shrimp were so delicate that they melted in your tongue. They served crab cake corn dogs as an appetizer. Sounds strange, doesn't it? . No hotdogs or anything of the sort were available. On a stick, it was a crab cake. Alert: A Real Crab.... We coupled it with their delectable remoloude sauce, and it was fantastic. They have a delicious crab dip that goes really well with toasted pretzels. We savored gumbo, seafood boils, and po'boys. Everything was flawless. If I had to criticize them in any way, I would say to at least be cautious about everything. That's all there is to it. Do you want delicious cuisine, excellent beverages, a wonderful dining experience, and exceptional, reasonably priced prices? You're at Pier 41.

The bartender was really nice. The drinks were standard. As far as food, I can’t comment on the tacos, but the chips have a good seasoning on them. The little patio outside is cute with the string lights and great for dining when the weather is pleasant.

the food and cocktails here are amazing. everything is so flavorful and authentic. the coconut margarita might be my favorite drink in Charleston. Great vibes and even better food. I highly recommend pink cactus!

Fantastic five star tacos! The owner was gracious and took great care of me. Highly recommend and I’m a snob when it comes to good tacos.

A fun lunch spot. Had the birria tacos on a Thursday. They were made with ground beef instead of shredded but the flavor was good. The cheese dip had pepitas in it and we loved it!

This place was a surprise. The visit started with Dio de los Muertos black margaritas for $5...and they were quite good. It was VERY loud inside so we sat outside...a little cold but, pick your battles. After we dove into our 2nd drinks the food came. Wow, delicious! Super flavorful and we'll prepared.

Had an awesome happy hour experience at the pink cactus this past week! I went with a group of friends after work and we got the spicy margaritas as well as the queso for the table. You really can’t get better than five dollars for food and reduced price margaritas after work!!! Great casual spot for drinks and yummy appetizers in Charleston!

Cute corky place to eat at. Service was good and so was food. Wish we could try their ceviche and but by 7:30 pm they ran out of few staples and closed early. Pink cactus lemonade was good. Place has a nice vibe. We only sat outside so I am not sure how inside is. Pink cactus decor outside was super cute.

We came here around 5:30 on Saturday night and didn't have a reservation but we were able to get seated right away on the patio. We live nearby and have been wanting to check this place out for a very long time! They had bug spray sitting out for us to use which was great there's a lot of no see ums right now! We didn't get a burger menu and didn't know we had to ask for one until we had already ordered. It was our first time coming here. There was only one server for the patio and she was quite busy! We did get a cocktail and a glass of wine which was good. You do have to order all of your food at once. We started off with the poutine and it was super tasty! I honestly wish we had stopped there because the rest of our meal wasn't so good. My bf ordered the duck which was poorly cooked, had a super strong pungent sour and vinegar flavor and was too tough to eat. The server did come by once right after we got our food and we haven't had a chance to really eat so we didn't have any feedback at that time. We took two bites of the duck and moved on. We also had the sweet potatoes which had an over the top inedible sweet and salty flavor. They also had very vinegar tasting pecans and an off tasting sauce in the dish. Again, took a bite and gave up. I also ordered the pan seared fish which was also covered in vinegar and very hard to eat. We told the server that our food wasn't edible and only took a few small bites total. She said she wished she knew earlier. Another worker came by to offer us dessert but it had been 2 hours and we were tired. I have worked on the service industry for many years and hate to complain but this was so sad. I've never been so dissatisfied and disappointed in a restaurant in my life. From the bad food to the bad service I won't be back. We spent with tip over $140 to only eat poutine and have a drink.

We had a wonderful experience at Herd Provisions. If you like aged steak, you won’t find a better one anywhere else! The tallow fries and roasted mushrooms were phenomenal…so was the cheesecake. We took a whipped ricotta to go for breakfast. Special shout out to our waitress Ava for her incredible hospitality, and thanks to Kennedy for the superior customer service! The playlist was also lovely! Definitely plan to return on our next trip to Charleston. ◡̈ PS Check out Air BnB experiences and take Chef Jeanne’s butchering and steak aging class…you won’t be sorry!

We had such a great experience at Herd Provisions! The food was incredible from start to finish. The Duck Confit Poutine Fries were out of this world.. rich, crispy, and full of flavor. The 14oz Boneless Ribeye Steak was aged, prepared & cooked perfectly, It was packed with taste and melted in your mouth. The Double HERD Burger hit all the right notes.. It’s made with the same Beef they use for their Steaks and you can tell, it has the right ratios (not too fatty and not too lean) and that elevates its flavor. Every dish came out perfectly prepared and the portions were super generous. Our server, Isabel, was simply awesome! She is so friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Everyone on the staff was kind and professional, adding to the warm, welcoming vibe. If you’re in Charleston and love great Farm-To-Table Food, you have to check this place out. 10/10 Highly recommend it!

Very nice and quiet place with live music on the patio where I sat. Food was great. I had the 16oz Ribeye with add on fish that was Rock fish. Steak cooked how I wanted it. It had a couple sauces with it. Rock fish was very tender and juicy. Side was asparagus. My Waitress was Ava and she was very nice and attentive. Glad I found this place for my last night visiting.

We loved it! Everything was either excellent or very good. The cocktails were great - one of them was in our top 3 favorite of all time. Soy marinated duck with a blueberry umami sauce and duck confit hash was delicious. Pork chop was done perfectly. The summer corn salad was tasty. Service was friendly and helpful. The ambiance was lovely. There is a parking lot right across the street.

Love these guys, but a recent bummer. Herd has great food, and perhaps the best burger in town. The staff is outstanding, simply the best. Food? Both the pork chop and the steak are outstanding. We were heading there once a week. Strong cocktail game, and although the wine list isn’t extensive it is super well curated. You know that burger I mentioned? If you want their signature Herd Burger, you have to sit at the kids table in the front segregated from the rest of the diners. You can get a $34 monster at the grown-ups table. So we’ve started skipping and choosing another option. It’s a bit of a heartbreak, because like I said we really love the joint and especially all of our friends on the staff. -George

You can't go to Herd and not have some meat! AND did we...Caesar salad, AND one of my FAB sisters opted to split a burger w me. YES!

This was the best meal I had in Charleston! This was a very cute, quaint place right on Meeting Street. My husband and I arrived at 11am and we're seated right away. Caitlyn was our server and she did an amazing job! My husband got a BLT with a fried green tomato and fries. I got the shrimp and crab omelette with grits and a biscuit. The omelette and biscuit were both huge! The omelette was absolutely delicious. Normally I have to add butter and salt to my grits but these were perfect without adding anything. The inside of the biscuit was great, but the outside was too hard for my liking. If I lived in Charleston I would get this meal regularly. It was great!! I would highly recommend Toast! All Day to anyone visiting Charleston.

I had the biscuits and gravy and it was good, but not great. The gravy was a bit too thick and sticky. The scrambled egg was cold, but I didn't care too much. I've had it better other places. The fruit bowl was delicious. Service was great and it was reasonably priced. I would go back and try something different.

Ryan was such a rockstar. He gave great recommendations and was super friendly. He made our birthday breakfast even more special. The food was also fantastic!!

We had such a great experience at Toast All Day in Charleston! The pancakes were hands down the best I’ve ever tasted fluffy and full of flavor. We also had the ham, cheddar, and bacon omelet, which was absolutely amazing. And don’t even get me started on the salted caramel latte…umm, umm good! Our server Anabelle made the experience even better. She was so attentive, friendly, and full of personality. You can tell she genuinely enjoys connecting with her customers. Top-notch service all around. We’ll definitely be back!

The service in this restaurant is stellar. They found out my boyfriend’s birthday was in a couple days, and treated it like it WAS the day. Went above and beyond. I recommend the shrimp and grits, as well as their beignets. We plan to come back tomorrow, haha.

We celebrated our 20th anniversary, having breakfast at Toast. We sat outside in the beautiful weather and had the most delightful server. It just so happened that they were celebrating their twenty fifth fear in business as well. What made this special for us is that on our honeymoon, we had our first dinner together at a restaurant named Toast. Finding this little gem of a restaurant, Helped bring us full circle. We highly recommend you visit this place and sit outside, if the weather is nice.

Food and service were exceptional. Best she crab soup ever! Peach stuffed French toast was a special treat. KC is a delight! She exudes authentic southern hospitality!

Amazing spot for fresh oysters in the area! We stopped by and the staff was super friendly including the hostess from NY! hello!! The spicey tequila cucumber is my new favorite drink and all of the staff was super friendly! Event the guy shocking, the oysters was awesome! Definitely need to check this place out as the oyster selection was great and the entrées were super fresh and delicious! The entree with the 4 different fish was delicious! All were cooked perfectly! Forgot the name but it was a special We will be back for sure!

I’m coming here for the delicious fresh oysters and seafood dishes with great wine choices. Loved the seafood pasta, and it was my first time trying the shrimp & grits - and I loved it! Everything was spot on

Pearlz is the gold standard for oyster bars in Charleston. Period. The oysters were fresh and briny, the cocktails were perfectly balanced, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. The place has that perfect mix of classy and casual—dim lighting, a buzzing bar, and staff who actually know their seafood. Now, for the unforgettable part of the night… As I’m enjoying my oysters, a guest a couple seats down—full of energy and clearly having a great time—goes in on her fries with a bottle of ketchup. What happened next felt like a slow-motion movie scene: the ketchup bottle let out a surge, and a red streak of sauce shot across the bar like a Fourth of July firework. It hit the bar, splashed on menus, even the wall got a little love. People were stunned for a second, then the whole section burst into laughter—including her. She owned the moment like a champ, laughing along with everyone else. It was the kind of spontaneous chaos that turns dinner into a memory. Bottom line: come for the oysters, stay for the atmosphere—and maybe keep an eye on the ketchup.

Such a great spot! Tasty food, super friendly staff. I had the fresh catch ceviche and the Spanish-style octopus — both amazing. Totally recommend!

Few great dishes, most were solid. The best were crab dip and the clams, delicious. The shrimp were a bit flabby. The oysters were good. The octopus dish was not quite cohesive, but cooked well. Great service.

If you’re craving seafood in Charleston, Pearlz is a pretty solid choice, though it comes with a few quirks. Let me set the scene: My husband isn’t the biggest fan of seafood (bless him), so he was really taking one for the team when we ventured here. Plus, we were escaping the dreaded heat advisory with our pup, and the welcoming vibe at Pearlz made the experience a bit more enjoyable. We were seated at a window bar, which turned out to be a pretty cute spot—enough to distract from the sweltering heat outside. I kicked things off with a rosé and he opted for a Pilsner. Now, I love me a good glass of wine, but when it arrived, I couldn’t help but notice that the glass was… well, shall we say, over-polished? The glass looked clean, but the poor thing was covered in fluff, and as much as I’d like to be polite, I rubbed my fingers around the rim and flicked the fluff away. I didn’t have the patience to mention it to the waiter, mainly because we didn’t see her for a while, and it was already in the drink and honestly, it wasn’t the biggest issue—just a little awkward. Now, onto the food—things started off a bit bumpy. I ordered the varietal oysters and one topped with caviar, which sounded like heaven to me. But, as luck would have it, there was a hair on my oysters when they arrived. I politely mentioned it to our waitress, and to her credit, she quickly took them back and assured us she’d bring a fresh tray. While I was disappointed, I appreciated the quick action. As for the rest of the meal, I was thoroughly impressed with the Brussels sprouts. Roasted to perfection, they were crisp on the outside and soft inside, with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan that made them irresistible. A definite must-order. And then, the surprise of the evening: the burger. My husband is somewhat of a burger connoisseur, and we honestly didn’t expect much from a seafood-focused restaurant. But this burger? It was phenomenal. A little salty, a touch sweet from the sauce, and cooked just right. We were both thoroughly impressed and will be dreaming of it for days to come. When my oysters returned, they were perfect. Creamy, fresh, and absolutely divine—well worth the minor hiccup. The best part? The manager came by to apologize for the hair incident and took the oysters off our bill, which we thought was a classy and thoughtful gesture. Overall, we left Pearlz happy and satisfied. Despite the minor mishaps, the food, especially that burger, more than made up for it. And with the manager’s thoughtful gesture, we definitely felt valued as guests. We'll definitely be back for more oysters, Brussels sprouts, and that incredible burger. Would I recommend Pearlz? Absolutely! Just maybe wipe your glass before diving into that rosé.

This place was pretty good. Came for happy hour and left happy so mission accomplished. Tried the shrimp and grits and the flavor was… interesting to say the least. Oysters were good and the staff was friendly. The tables are a little close together so it can feel like you’re eating with the folks next to you. Located in the heart of Charleston, so be prepared to spend a good bit on parking to get to this place.

We had a great dining experience. , Our server, was very professional and attentive. Since we made an early reservation, we were seated immediately without any wait. The food was tasty and well-prepared. Our waitress was super sweet, got champagne and macaroons to make my daughters birthday special. We had a great time and experience. Thank you

Had Sunday Brunch. Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere was awesome! 1st food: great portions and awesome flavor. They made our granddaughter a very special drink. The band playing played a wide variety of music and made brunch that much better. Haley was our server, super awesome. Thank you to Chris as well for making our experience great!

Old Fashioned has a suave peach twist and the Margarita Fuego was EXCELLENT: Blanco tequila, lime, Cointreau, chipotle, mango, and jalapeno - not too spicy and the mango to help curb the zip. This place is packed. We had to gravitate to the back patio bar. My main qualm was waiting over 10 minutes to order while sitting at the bar. Bachelorette parties standing over my shoulder kept getting the go ahead to order. I was about to leave had I been skipped over one more time. Also, with the name Prohibition I was expecting more 30's speakeasy aesthetics and decor... but it felt more like the stereotypical modern rustic craft cocktail bar. Not worth frequenting if that's your selling point in question. Overall, decent cocktails, some with a minor twist. The place seemed like it sponsored bachelorette parties with the amount of coordinated costumes & celebratory groups in there. Must be a prime spot to go out with your friends, not as much for an intimate outing.

This restaurant has a cool vibe and some rather yummy food. Stopped here for lunch and sat on there back patio which was very nice and chill. Got the deviled eggs, wings, and chopped cheese burger. The eggs were fantastic and highly recommend this. The wings were decent and the chopped cheese had some great flavors. The drink menu was good and had plenty of cool mixed options. The bartender made a nice expresso martini. Service was friendly, but slow, and hectic. We got our entree before our appetizer and the wings came with the check. Overall, id definitely recommend.

The atmosphere was very cool! But the drinks needed a little more. We found them not well balanced and had a hard time finishing them. We would’ve given a second round another chance but our waitress never came back to ask. She was wonderful but the bar needed more people working because the room wasn’t close to full or busy but she was constantly busy with different tasks. So her inattentiveness certainly was not on purpose at all. We felt bad for her. However after waiting for so long we did have to approach the bar and ask for our check. We wondered if we would have liked the second round better. The charcuterie board was truly divine! So for small bites and maybe a simple drink i do recommend it!

My friends and partner and I went to Prohibition this past Saturday. It was pouring rain so while parking across the street was the most desirable option- it WAS close and convenient. Upon entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted and told that there was only outdoor seating available unless we wanted to wait a little while so we opted for the patio. It was covered so that was good. The reason I gave a 4 star rating is because I thought the manager could have opted to turn on a couple heaters being that it was a bit chilly with it raining and the wind was blowing a bit. Luckily we had jackets so that helped. On to the dining experience- this place has several small plate options which I’m not always crazy about due to portion sizes but the items were ordered were sufficient and we were all able to share with each other. My partner got the tomato bisque soup w/ grilled cheese and while it’s such a simple option- it was perfect and exactly what she needed to warm her up a bit. The soup was creamy and rich and the grilled cheese was crust less and had a good cheese pull. My only complaint would be that the grilled cheese could have been a little bigger. I ordered the brussel sprouts which were great. They were nice and crispy and flavorful. One of my friends ordered the baked oysters- my issue with this dish is that it only came w/ 3 and they weren’t that big- also, I never understood why restaurants don’t do appetizers like that in even numbers. The oysters were cooked perfectly and tasted great and they had a good creaminess from the cheese. The MVP of the night was the bone marrow- I had never had it before and was very hesitant to try it…until I saw it. I tried it and it was amazing! So good in fact that we ordered a 2nd order. The bone marrow was like a rich butter and the meat (I think was brisket?) that topped it was amazing as well- it was sweet and savory. We had 3 old fashioned cocktails and an espresso martini w/ an added shot of baileys which was fantastic! We’ll be back again for sure!

First I must say, the chef is a gem. This kitchen put out a very fine lobster roll, which I enjoyed as an appetizer along with a short pour from the finest Pinot noir from Oregon. Next up, although hesitant at first, I ordered the filet mignon, this by the way was agreed upon by the bartender Trent Major. The filet was served rare with haricot verde’ and awesome potato scalloped. Very well paired with the reasonably priced bottle of Pinot. I would like to add a total recommendation of “100%” for attitude of both Trent, Maria and the entire staff. Life is short spend a little time at this local gem.

Fantastic cocktail joint with awesome cozy vibe. Sat at the little bar in the back and had some of the best cocktails we've ever had. Bartender was very knowledgeable and in tune to serving drinks to suit our specific taste, even offering a name 2 adjectives cocktail. If you go we would recommend asking for the Tokyo Rose made with a Japanese Rye whiskey. The small bites of food were excellent as well.

Had the most incredible experience at Gin Point! I picked “refreshing and tart” for my bartender’s choice drink word combination, and seriously… was the best drink I have ever tasted. Super vibey spot, with absolutely incredible service! Fun Fact - My strap on my dress actually ripped off mid-drinks & our waitress pulled out a sewing kit… & completely fixed my dress for the rest of the night. They truly go above & beyond!

Great craft cocktail bar! Stopped by tonight just before they closed and sat at the bar for a cocktail before last call. The bartender was amazing! What I was craving was not on the menu so I told him tequila, spicey, lime and cucumber and we created a delicious drink that always well balanced! The drinks are not cheap but they are good! Will be back for sure on my next visit.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot to cap off your evening, The Gin Joint is a great choice. I stopped by after dinner for a drink and loved the relaxed yet vibrant vibe. The space is beautifully decorated with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a solid pick for couples or small groups. Instead of ordering from the menu, I sat at the bar and let the bartender work her magic based on the flavors I like. She nailed it not just once, but twice. My first drink was spot-on, and the second kicked things up a notch in the best way. The service was warm and intentional, which added to the experience. If you’re in Charleston and enjoy craft cocktails in a stylish, intimate setting, I’d definitely recommend making time for The Gin Joint.

Great little place tucked minutes away from the Pineapple. Cozy European-style outdoor patio. Great and knowledgeable staff. Our second visit here. We both enjoyed the vibes of the place: not touristy, great selection of gins, creative small provisions (egg appetizer and pretzels are awesome) I had a gin flight (4 smalls and I let Lucy pick because she did great last time; I just specified the destination) and she did not disappoint. If you are a gin lover or just want to try a new specialty small venue, please do. Cheers!

I went for my first time this past Saturday night with three other coworkers. We happen to run into two other people we knew and sat at their table . They had been there already for 45 minutes. I was disappointed to hear that they did not serve vodka since they served everything else so I ordered one drink which was tequila and soda($17). We later then received our bills which were four separate bills one for myself and three for the coworkers . The couple that have been there before already had their bill. We had not asked for separate bills either but we're very shocked and surprised to see that each of us had 20% added to our bills for gratuity automatically total bill was $23. I am a big Tipper usually over Tipper so I was very upset about automatically having that 20% gratuity added. I then went and talked to the female server who told me that it's automatic because it was a party of six . I said we were not a party of six we just ran into friends and sat with them . Nor did we ask for Separate Checks so how can we be considered a party of six. She was only remotely apologetic and didn't care or ask for a manager or anything. I will never go to that place again it wasn't crowded and it wasn't that special. Don't waste your time and money and be cautious about this automatic gratuity being added to your bills none of us would have known unless we just looked at the bill carefully. We work for the airlines and and were there on an overnight. We also have big word of mouth on advice to where to go eat and drink, this will be a big fat and hard no for us to ever recommend!

Went for a date night and it was really the perfect setting. Nice and cozy. The drink options are phenomenal (I can't remember the last place I visited that had anise options for drinks and the cocktails were really well made. Food options are good too! We had the fried mushrooms and charcuterie platter alongside some oysters. Great service from Jacob and bartending from Veronica. Will definitely be back some day!

I came here with some girlfriends visiting me in Charleston, and I was honestly impressed! Even though I have passed by this restaurant a handful of times, Indaco wasn't really on my radar. We ordered the Tagliatelle, Peach Pizza, Mushroom Pizza, and the Mafaldine for food. Everything came out perfectly. The pizzas were excellent and a shareable size. However, I wish the pasta entrees were larger to make it easier to share. Our server helped explain to us the differences between pasta dishes and what customers' favorites are. We had a dirty martini and the 'La Paloma' to drink. The restaurant was smaller than expected, but I enjoyed the intimate setting. I would come here again or try their pasta class!

Amazing. Went two nights in a row … we rarely see fantastic bar tender, cocktails, food and atmosphere. This place rocks all three. Bar tender Mattie was amazing at making suggestions for food and drinks. Super friendly without being overbearing. Wine was great for happy hour and I am a wine complainer. Restaurants usually cheap out one wine and serve awful Meimo or Josh… their happy hour red was good! Atmosphere was great. Super hip with fun staff, happy vibe, and not too packed in too tight. Food: Bolognese was best we have ever had. Agnolotti with sweet potatoes is a dish with so much flavor I will be thinking about it for the next year when i got to an Italian restaurant. Potatoes and Brussels were my husbands favorite. But the sweet Potato dish was also something I will wish I could order in atlanta. Every dish here was created with care. Nothing on their menu is bland. Sigh— we can’t go back tomorrow night.

Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in Charleston. My girlfriend and I love coming here. All the food is amazing highly recommend the pizza and the pasta. Tyler behind the bar is an AWESOME bartender and always makes the perfect cocktails. Highly recommend this dinner spot.

By far the best restaurant we ate at in Charleston. The food was amazing!! I am celiac and almost the entire menu could be made gluten free. Brittany P was the kindest, most helpful server! She made sure I felt safe eating with my restrictions! The gluten free pasta was excellent, as well as the bread and dessert! Can’t say enough positive things about our experience.

Love the atmosphere here. Takes you out of the city into a cute restaurant. The ambience is great and service was welcoming. Good came fast even though they were busy. Pictured are the Brussel sprouts which were surprisingly a little spicy to me but otherwise very good. We also got the pizza Bianca which I think would have been elevated by some sort of drizzle on top but very good!

My husband and I had our 5 year anniversary dinner here while visiting Charleston. From the very beginning, the service was wonderful! We checked in with the hostess and seated at our table that had a “happy anniversary” card on there where the individual staff members all wrote their own message. We had Fawn as our waitress for the night and absolutely adored her. I have Celiac Disease and she took great care to ensure no cross contamination with my food. We had the burrata to start and with gluten free flat bread. I decided to get a pizza and the crust was the right amount of soft and crunchiness - not the cardboard feel that is gluten folks hate. Everything was absolutely delicious!! Fawn brought out a glass of prosecco for us to enjoy on the house for our anniversary and as we were leaving gave me a knitted sunflower from a local artist. Our experience here was exceptional and we felt very well taken care of for our night. Can’t wait to come back!

My most recent visit to Indaco reminded me that I have not held this longtime gem in nearly high enough regard. They may not be the newest kid on the block filling everyone’s Instagram feed, but maybe that’s because they’re too busy serving consistently excellent food instead of chasing influencer chaos.Every single time I’ve dined here, it’s been awesome. This visit was a shared feast featuring their warm, pillowy house focaccia, perfectly tender polpette, and—my forever order—the squid ink pasta. I swear they always have some variation of it on the menu, and I get it every single time without fail. We also enjoyed the roasted sweet potato, ricotta, and balsamic agnolotti, along with the Amatriciana pizza, which was the ideal balance of smoky, savory, and satisfying. And for dessert, I made the only reasonable decision available to me: ordering the gelato trio because choosing just one felt emotionally irresponsible.. No regrets—each flavor was rich, creamy, and the perfect finish to the meal. They rotate their menu seasonally but seem to retain a few beloved staples, and the pricing remains refreshingly reasonable compared to many of the very expensive options nearby. Indaco, I’m sorry for ever taking you for granted. You’re officially in my regular rotation now.

We had breakfast here with a group of friends and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals — from the chicken and waffles to the breakfast sandwich, everything was fresh and flavorful. It’s a great spot to start the day in Charleston. Highly recommend!

Every year at this time I crave soft shell crab and try to go to a new place each time. Rarebit’s softie specials absolutely slayed and took the top spot on my list. They were nice enough to allow me to order the Day Special - a soft shell crab sandwich with Sriracha aioli and pickled veggies, with the best hand cut Old Bat fries. We agreed that I won the dinner battle but my date’s entree was just as good - soft shell crab atop lobster ravioli with a cream sauce, rich but absolutely divine. We also started the meal with a beet salad which was fresh, crisp and bright, and shared a cup of Charleston classic, she crab soup. Such a great date night with some of the most delicious food I’ve enjoyed in quite some time - don’t miss it!

Came in for the best Moscow mule in Charleston. Drank up and wasn't disappointed. Left satisfied. . . Definitely wanted to try the grill here as they had a lot of good looking options on the menu, but the night wasn't ready for food. Cheers!

Great place to grab a bite. The service was excellent and the staff super friendly. They had vegetarian options for me and great meat options for my meat eating friends. The She Crab soup was yummy-according to my friend.

We ordered the shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles and both were absolutely delicious. Service was fantastic without being overbearing. Cool vibe atmosphere with '80s music.

The owner greeted us and prepared our drinks exactly how we like them. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. Our meals were creative and interesting. I appreciated the vegan/ vegetarian option on the menu.

Cozy restaurant. The Dark and Ferny was a nice surprise and a tasty take on a Dark and Stormy. Ordered from the bar - there did not seem to be table service but that may have been because we sat by the window.

Great time! We sit outside for a 4th of July dinner and like the music there. Food was good but nothing special. Loaded fries were TOP, highly recommend to split. Brisket melt was just OKAY, bacon BLT was good but avocado inside is in a hot sandwich so it was hard to eat, I’d rather get something else next time. Portions are big, that’s good. Shem Sunrise is a pretty cocktail but not too strong. Waiters were nice but it does take some time for them to circle back to your table and refill drinks. It was $72 for two people with one cocktail and one side. Overall, recommend for young people if you are on Shem Creek.

My wife and I had lunch at The Shelter Kitchen. There were very few people there on this Tuesday at noon, It took awhile for a hostess to appear, but she eventually came and said to sit anywhere. The BBQ chicken quesadillas and the Holy Mother Clucker Chicken Sandwich were generous-sized and delicious. The sweet potato fries were good, but the fried okra was disappointingly fried pickled okra, and we didn't eat much of it. I think that should be described as such on the menu. There were lots of TVs on, so this should be a happening place during football games this fall.

We had a great time visiting SC and enjoyed this restaurant. The food and drinks were so good! They have a great patio and indoor area. Plus they are dog friendly. Our server Anna S. was so great. We had an issue getting the garnishes for one of the bloodies and she made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend.

So honestly, I enjoy the place. Service was pretty good. My only problem was, BBQ was dry. Like it has been pulled apart and sitting for a while under a lamp..... It tastes very good, but again very dry. However, the rice was on point. I'd eat here again, but I doubt I'll get your BBQ again. 🦈💙

I absolutely love the dog friendly atmosphere at The Shelter. The food is ALWAYS good and I love watching my favorite college and NFL games there. The staff is so welcoming and the service is always great! Recently, Ava was our server and she is the best! She made my pup feel right at home, everyone loved the food and the attentive service with a smile. Love this place!

Just recently moved to the area and have been looking for some good food spots. Tried out The Shelter with some of my buddies and had a great experience. The food was great, but the atmosphere and service are definitely some of the best that I’ve seen in the CHS area. Our server, Ava, was extremely quick and on top of things, despite it being relatively busy when we visited. Will be going back again soon!

Two stars is generous! The omelettes were lacking ingredients, except eggs. The cooks added extra eggs to fill the plate, but very few add-ins. The waitress took our order and brought our food, that was it. She never refilled our drinks or checked on our table. I had to get her attention to pay. The entire place needs a scrub! We should have turned around and walked out when we saw the grime everywhere. Actually, the first sign should have been when we looked online and they had lots of available reservations. I’m writing this review to help others know what to expect.

As burger connoisseurs, this was our first stop for our anniversary weekend in Charleston. We will get burgers here again on our next visit! Perfectly cooked burgers, delicious fries, and fantastic bartending and have to add the cold refreshing beer. Note that ordering at the bar is the way here. Big Gun is kind of a small place with a tavern atmosphere and a pool table in back. We loved it!

Was in the area for a Bachelor party. The group stopped here for a late lunch. It was a small place just full of culture and memories of the thousands of people that went through it. Great feeling place. Then there was the food. I got the chicken sandwich and when I tell you it changed my life I'm not kidding. I've had a LOT of chicken sandwiches in my life. It was fresh, hot, the pimento cheese is what really took it over the top. Absolutely incredible place and food.

Was alone and hungry on a Monday night. Perfect place to sit down and chill with friends. Great music and simple but just the best Classic burger and fries. The bartender was also super nice. Had a wonderful time! Andddd, don't forget the beer

Best cheeseburger I’ve ever had and I’ve had many as it is my favorite food. This place even looks like it cooks up amazing burgers. Come here. Don’t miss out.

Excellent burgers, good drinks, and great music. The bartender here (Richard was the name on the bill) was so friendly despite being overloaded with a large crowd of hungry conference attendees all coming in at once. I was here for lunch one day and couldn't see any reason to not return again the next day. Thanks for the nice meals!

Always love visiting Big Guns before C of C games. You just can't beat their Happy Hour prices!! The burgers and fries are great! Pictured here are their $3 pork taco and wow! Nice amount of pork along with their special sauce, slaw. Just can't beat it! Only reason I gave 4 stars was because of the atmosphere. Everyone is friendly but, when it's busy, it's hard to find a seat. Very limited amount of table space but, it's not always busy. Definitely take the time to stop by while you're visiting the area.

Stopped in today and placed a to-go order. The lady at the bar was very polite and welcoming. I ordered 2 burgers with onion rings. Food came out quickly. Burgers were great. They were juicy, and well seasoned. Onion rings were also good and they come with a dipping sauce. Will definitely come back when in town again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Great vibe, but service needs backup!” Uptown Social has a fun, high-energy atmosphere that makes it a solid choice if you’re looking to hang out and soak in the Charleston nightlife. The music was upbeat, the crowd was lively, and the space had that casual party vibe that’s perfect for a weekend out. That said, service was really slow when we went—only one server seemed to be covering the whole floor, which definitely affected wait times. Didn’t try the drinks this time, but the menu looked good and reasonably priced for the area. Still giving it 4 stars because the overall vibe and ambiance delivered. Just hope they have more staff next time—this place deserves smoother service to match its scene.

The bar area was fun until the servers were instructed to take away all of the tables and chairs when the DJ started. A super young crowd filled the bar and invaded our space. We left earlier than planned but made the most of it with friends.

Drinks were fine - loved my beer. Pretzel bites were sitting in a pool of grease. Top ones were good, bottom ones drained fine on the napkins.

We only went for drinks and made our own party!! Went to the outside bar and had a blast!! Can't wait to go back!

Love this place. The bartenders are friendly drinks are great and the atmosphere is on point. My only issue is the door guy who wants to frisk you down like it’s TSA. I jumped during a pat down due to being ticklish and he immediately kicked me out. Luckily, for me the guy who was checking, IDs was nice enough to understand and let me in. I get he’s doing his job but not everyone is a drunk asshole that comes through. If the brotha could read the room I wouldn’t have left a one star view due to 1 employee.

came here with a few friends for what we expected to be a fun night out, but our experience was ruined by the security staff. We had stepped into the restroom for maybe two minutes when a security guard suddenly started pounding on the door as if we were doing something wrong, yelling and threatening to kick us out. There was absolutely no reason for that kind of aggression. We hadn’t caused any trouble and were just using the restroom like normal customers. The entire situation was embarrassing, uncomfortable, and completely unnecessary. Management seriously needs to review how their security team treats guests — no one should be made to feel harassed or intimidated for simply using the facilities.

The staff were very kind and got us seated quickly. I really liked the shareable cocktails. The food is standard American fare. I enjoyed the chicken dip and the trifle fries. They had live music that night which was really fun. Overall a great spot for hanging with friends and just enjoying sitting down while checking out Charleston.

We were worried at first when the restaurant was slow on a Saturday night but it got bustling! The patio had heaters (and fans when it’s warm) so it was very comfortable but the interior is a better environment. The food was overall good, but standouts were the ravioli starter, apple tart and short rib entree.

Stephanie, our server, was excellent. Super friendly and nice. Everything was yummy. Appetizers of Baguette, Octopus and Bone Marrow were all delicious. Bartender drinks were spectacular & creative! Naked Fish and Short Ribs tastes great as well Wonderful meal visiting Charleston.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The bartender was also our server and she did an amazing job. She gave us recommendations - the cheese spring rolls are delicious, curry crab soup a highlight, the burger and the scallops were solid and delightfully prepared. We finished with the table side crème brûlée. It was a wonderful meal and we’ll be back next time we’re in town!

Phenomenal!!! Run don’t walk. The naked fish was fantastic. Bone marrow so good. The goat cheese spring rolls DIVINE! The brown butter old fashioned was next level amazing. Great service. We will be back.

We had an incredible experience with the chef's tasting menu — every course was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The wine pairings were spot on and really enhanced the flavors of each dish. What made the evening even more special was the personal touch: the chef came by after each course to check in and chat, which added such a warm, welcoming vibe. A big shoutout to the bartender as well — my friend wasn’t drinking, and she went above and beyond by crafting a unique mocktail pairing for each course. It was creative, flavorful, and just as carefully curated as the wine. From start to finish, the service was top-notch and the atmosphere was perfect. This was easily one of the best dinners I’ve had in Charleston in a long time. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! We went for the secret tasting menu and had a wonderful experience. Every course was delicious, flavorful, and unique. A special thanks to the bartender (sorry I didn’t catch your name) for making mocktails for me instead of wine. The one with coconut milk and tonic was just perfect! I’m already looking forward to coming back to try dishes from the regular menu.

Celebrated our last night in Charleston at Bistronomy. We got the bone marrow, escargot, tartare, scallops and crème brûlée. Scallops (especially the coconut rice) and flavored-packed escargot were favorites. The only slight let down was the crème brûlée - sugar top was a little too burnt. Still very much recommend!

We decided to try O’briens after taking a walk around I’on yesterday and the food was great. Our server was very kind and accommodating; she brought water for both our pups which was very much appreciated! It seemed like she could have been a little more prepared by having some of the small things a little more readily accessible- For instance, there was 3 of us and we each ordered an iced tea, mine was the only one that didn’t get a lemon which I thought was a little odd. I know these are small things but to me, it would have just made the service that much more on point. Each time we asked for something she’d have to make her rounds and then go back inside for straws or what have you which ended up taking longer than necessary so maybe carrying some straws with you or having them more readily accessible might would have helped. Aside from that, I had the turkey Rachel, my partner had the fish and chips and we also got the French dip and the Reuben (by accident). Each dish was really good and flavorful and the portions were generous and there was plenty of space to eat outside. The restrooms were clean and the atmosphere inside was nice and they have large flat screens to accommodate various sports matches that were going on.

In a time when neighborhood places are fading away, Obrion’s stands out as one of the best. A favorite of locals but with a fantastic staff and atmosphere that is welcoming to everyone. If you’re looking for community and a great experience, this is it. Have never had a bad meal here but for sure try the tendies!

Delicious food! Pictured is their French Dip and house chips.

This place is more than a pub or restaurant, it’s simply a great community hang. The food is great! The owners treat you like friends and the staff is amazing! top notch and pro tip, try the fried shrimp!

O’Brion’s is a fantastic gem. Whether you want a well-priced pint, the game, or some ridiculously good chicken tenders, they got you covered. Great vibes from the regulars and staff, it’s a can’t miss spot!

This place shines above the rest! This is our local family favorite! We definitely do not waste our time going anywhere else but O’brions to watch the football games. This is really a great place for the entire family. Thank you O’brions for always going out of your way to make us feel so welcomed! 🤗

First visit, but loved it. Stella NA for my bride and Smithwick's on tap for me. What else could you ask for? Shrimp platter was delicious. Lots of TV's to watch the game.

While visiting the area I stopped in to have a flight (or two). All of the beers were delightful and tasty. The have artwork of the labels of past beers on the walls and it was enjoyable to look at. It is dog-friendly, so was able to get some dog loving in as well. My travel partner is not a big beer drinker, so he was able to get a glass of wine. The bartender was pleasant, efficient and helpful when it came to knowledge and service. I would highly recommend stopping here.

A great place for a beer! Dog friendly inside with outdoor seating as well. A good rotation of food trucks, as well as a few bar snacks. The beer is always good with good options for all tastes. Almost every time we come home to Mt. Pleasant, we stop for a round. Will be back next time!

In town for one night and stopped by for some drinks. Tried a flight of four; Helles, Dopplebock, Hefeweizen, and IPA. They were very good. I’m not really an IPA drinker but tried two more of the IPAs. They were very good and were not over the top hoppy. Staff was amazing!

Visited several breweries while in Charleston and this was, BY FAR my favorite. Such a friendly vibe and one of the best Kolsch beers I’ve had. Super dog friendly inside, which is great during the summer.

My wife and I drove from Fort Mill, SC for a get away to Charleston. We work in a brewery and wanted to check out the brewery scene close to our condo and the first one we tried was Two Blokes. Immediately upon entry we are greeted by the bartender, Christina. I ordered the Striped Sweater and my wife ordered the Kiwi-8. Both were delicious! We both bought some neat merch. The artwork is really cool and the atmosphere was beyond our expectations. Superb service from Christina. She was very welcoming and attentive from beginning to end. A very sweet and laid back personality. Being new to the area, she recommended some of her favorite places and things to do. We checked those out as well. We had to come back to try the First Blood and Second Breakfast, also very delicious! Overall a great experience and a wonderful time. Thank you Christina! We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic and knowledgeable beer tenders. Lovely selection of beers - diverse but balanced. I love brewery hopping, and they remind me of my favorite place at home. The beer tender, Jenny, was so sweet.

Time for dinner and since Two Blokes did not have a food truck on tonight's schedule, I stopped at Harris Teeter's salad bar and brought a "salad." Friendly welcome and I found a bench against the wall with a power outlet. Two beers, my salad and a bunch of wifi were my entertainment this evening. It's a comfortable space, the beers were good. I had the Umlaut Kolsch with dinner and tried the First Blood Hefeweizen that was too much orange for my taste so I went back to the Umlaut. It's in an industrial plaza and because they don't serve food, they're usually tolerant of dogs. There are also some picnic tables outside.

Sean Brock's taco joint is a delight to your taco loving senses. The chips are insane and the salsa is amazing. The rice and fresh refried beans will also almost make you forgot about how amazing the tacos are. Cool vibe and worth the trip for any taco lover

Vegan / Vegetarian / Gf options! Was really excited to be able to order off the menu. I had a good Margarita and tried the Cauliflower and Crispy Tofu tacos both were delicious 👌 It's not gourmet/ best Mexican food you'll ever have but this place is exactly what it says. It's no frills, quick bites, reasonable prices! Service was great, extra plus!

We were very excited to try this spot after finding it as an affiliate of Husk (which we couldn't get in to). There were spots at the bar so we sat there. Apparently it was the bartender's first night (he actually told us it was) and he was overwhelmed. Unfortunately the woman who appeared to be a manager was of little help to him aside from grabbing a few waters. She never spoke to us. Three stars because the queso fundito was very good and we loved the tortillas. My tacos were greasy/oily and my husband only got half of his meal but says the chorizo patties which make up their burger were good.

This burrito was the best burrito I have ever had. It was full of cheese and had roasted poblanos in it. I got it with pork which was also very tasty. The salsas were unique but none of them were amazing.

I was quite unimpressed by the tacos and the prices. You will likely not feel full unless you order like 50 tacos. The only redeeming factor is their chips and assorted salsas. The service was good and decor is nice.

Stopped in for a quick meal and this place was great! We sat at the bar and ordered food but the service was excellent as well as the food and drinks. I had a couple tacos and they were very, very good! I will be back if I'm in the area again. The drink was as described and was great!

Delicious....I love the Guacamole and chips. The wings are out of this world. The steak taco platter is the best. Love this place.

Loved this place's vibe. Went on a Monday night for the live music (jazz), which was outstanding. Got the meatloaf sandwich. Different, great, though what looked like a blue tape label (like to identify the meatloaf in the fridge/freezer) ended up in my meal. It was easily recoverable/removable, and the customer correction by the staff was outstanding. In fact, the staff overall was outstanding. Even ended up going for a couple of drinks the next night. Highly recommend!

Checked out this bar tucked away in the old cigar factory with my friend and we had a marvelous time. Cocktails were yummy, food was priced well and had great portions. Went on a Monday and there was a band jamming, not sure if music is there on other days. Will definitely be returning to try the food specials on diff days. Also, Victor the bartender was so sweet & took real good care of us!! Thank you, Victor 🫶🏾

Had a great time at Bar Mash this evening. Wanted a place that had some good food and great whiskey selection. Both bartenders were very friendly, open to give recommendations on pours and bottles. Will definitely be back.

We are in Charleston for first time. This is a great place. Very yummy duck confit tacos, and whatever IPA I was drinking was top notch. The bartender (I am terrible remembering names, but he would wade unto alligator infested ponds wearing swim trunks to help his uncle do surveying) served a shot of "cold brew" that was so caffeinated it changed my life - I may never sleep again.

Absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere as well as personal attention from the staff. Was only able to hang out for a couple libations and then off to reservations previously made elsewhere but we are so looking forward to going back to Bar Mash for the full dining experience!

The vibe is right. Cute attentive bartenders. I got food to-go last week and honestly was one of the best meals I’ve had in months. The tea is order a ice cream Sammy if they have them. Live music neighborhood block party vibe on Monday nights. Would recommend. Instagram: @holycityhost

Ok folks, the only reason I’m posting this 5 star review of Bar Marsh is because I’m leaving this beautiful city after working here 3 weeks. To be honest I was afraid if I told too many people about the Monday night (4-7) prime rib special I would never get in. So, my gift to you! You gotta go to Bar Marsh and have the absolute best prime rib you’ve ever had. On top of that it’s $24.95!! Ok, you can thank me later.

Get out on the water and enjoy the scenery.

Great location close to the highway and the interstate access. Also surrounded by the City of Charleston SC and other municipalities.

Great place to live but getting very overcrowded

This is home and despite the traffic, I still love James Island and Folly Beach

I live here. Of course I'm gonna say I like it here.

A friendly little community with a fierce objection to HOAs.

Mary was an awesome server. Patient, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. The good was excellent. Gumbo, She Crab Soup, seafood pasta all very tasty. The old fashioned was flavorful and done right. Great oyster selection.

Why in charleston wanted to try indifferent seafood restaurant..so we landed on fleet landing. There was construction going on. So had to park and walk. And it was an eye sore. We get there. We were greeted right away. They have in door and out door seating. If the temperature permits...I suggest outdoor. Or at least near the windows. They have nice views. Right on the water. The service was nice. No complaints.. food was brought out pretty quick. And tasted good. Prices were roughly 20 to 30 pp...on average. For a entree... but overall. It was decent it was good. No real complaints. I definitely reccomend this spot of you a seafood lover.

Our last day in Charleston. Came for lunch and didnt want to leave town until I had Gumbo or shrimp and grits. I got both! We also were incredibly surprised by the stuffed hush puppies! If the pictures had smellivision you'd know what I was talking about. 😆 My wife had shrimp on her ceasar salad and lastly this keylime pie was in our top 5 of all time. We will be back!!

She crab soup was delicious and a large portion for the price. Crab leg cocktail was good but it tasted like it was frozen, not fresh. Key lime pie was quite good. Service was good, not great, but they were also very busy. Still done with a smile and quite friendly.

My dad and I went here today for lunch and sat outside. Our server Andrew was great. He was on top of things and very polite and helpful, while also bringing his own personality to the service. He helped us pick out which varieties of raw oysters to get, all of which were great, and was very patient with my multitude of questions. I got the crab claw cocktail and my dad got the fried oyster platter, we both enjoyed our entrees immensely (the crab claw cocktail is not meant to be an entree but was just enough for me with the stuffed hushpuppies and oysters). I will say right now there’s construction happening next to the restaurant so be prepared for some of that noise if you choose to sit outside, but it didn’t take away from our experience at all.

Cannot speak highly enough about the staff of this restaurant! From the moment you walk in the hostess was incredibly kind and got us seated quickly at the Oyster bar! The three people running the bar were awesome all of them were great and wished us a happy anniversary! Highly recommend trying the tuna tartare and the key lime pie both are amazing!

Nice affordable seafood restaurant on the water. This place is situated on the water with beautiful views. I ordered the stuffed hush puppies and steak cut calamari. I didn’t care for the steak calamari but the stuffed hush puppies were delicious. The she crab was delicious but it wasn’t hot it was Luke warm. The fried seafood platter was delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff was very friendly.

If you are looking for a casual spot with delicious food, Acme is a great choice. We did a walk in with 7 people and were seated right away. The servers were very friendly. This place is known for their shrimp and grits and I understand why. They have 6 different variations of their signature dish so definitely something for everyone. I went with the Isle of Palms shrimp and grits and it was DELICIOUS. I am still thinking about the blackened shrimp. We also ordered the fried green tomatoes which were also a hit!

Wow, the shrimp and grits "Lowcountry" style was amazing. The shrimp were fresh and the grits were delicious. Also had a great old fashion. My wife had a delicious combo of the best crab cake ever, scallops and shrimp. Server was friendly and very good. She wasn't pushy when we hung out a little after we ate. Thanks for the fantastic hospitality!!

If you're looking for the best shrimp and grits, look no further than the Acme low country. Excellent service surpassed by the grits and shrimp dinners. Generous portions, and you can mix and match any of the shrimp and grits varites..nice beer selection. Its clearly been around a long time, for good reason. Just go.

The food was the best we had on Isle of isle palms and Charleston combined . The scallops, shrimp and crab cake placed on creamy grits were cooked to perfection and the Brussel sprouts were delicious. I think the entree was called the top flight. A nice glass of Edna valley Cabernet topped it off perfectly. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It was delicious! The service was great too! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Blackened shrimp succotash is superb. Tried the grit fries this visit and I could drink that Gouda cheese sauce (wish there was about double the amount to go with the massive grit fries personally). Also tried a few desserts, everyone loved their dishes.

Acme is super popular but parking availability is not on par with the restaurant’s popularity. We had to park on the road and weren’t sure whether it was an ok spot. Fortunately Ashton, our waitress, was so kind and helpful that she offered to go and check out the spot without us asking her to!!! We are so thankful for her willingness to help. By doing that, she had allowed us to fully enjoy our lunch, which was delicious! Thank you so much Ashton.

Expensive restaurant, but very pleasant service and hospitality. The food, however, is amazing. The seafood in general is my favorite - especially the crab cakes. A bit salty, but full of flavor. The scallops are cooked just right, too.

The epitome of a perfect dining experience. Amazing food, presented professionally, served in a comfortable format. Was impressed from the walk up right away through the trees to the door. My partner and I each ordered the different testing menus so we'd be able to sample a bit of everything, and do glad we did. Not a single bad dish the entire night. And surprisingly my favorite was the amuse bouche. I could've eaten a bowl of it. Our server was great. Both informative and chatty. And the simple decor still had a feeling of elegance.

Chef Marc is an exemplary talent! Absolutely magical experience from the environment, servers and attention to detail let’s not forget mixologist Dennis Whoza! Super talented group! This was my ultimate culinary experience I felt completely satiated, nourished and so surprised with the impact of flavors and combinations of pure beautiful ingredients Chef Marc’s execution is sublime! Thank you thank you! We live in Western Colorado but are contemplating returning to Charleston for another meal at Circa 1886 it’s that wonderful!

Amazing experience! I ordered staters because I wanted the soufflé for dessert. The chef/staff made an alteration to one of the dishes because of my allergies. Dennis at the bar is fantastic!! Go out of your way to come here. Service and food are amazing! Also, the wine list is quite extensive.

An exquisite dining experience in Charleston. If you have time for a special experience, don’t miss dinner here. It was a birthday celebration for my lady. We indulged in the both the offered tasting menus. If you can, enjoy the experience. I did not see the Michelin star that this chef and his staff deserve.

I only had the breakfast as a guest of the mansion/hotel. But oh my goodness... this place should have a Michelin star or two. Phenomenal... absolutely Phenomenal. I will stay at the mansion again just to eat breakfast here.

Ok. In the many restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining in, I would say Circa 1886 is by far the best. Not only was the food delicious and tasty, it was presented so well and each course came out with the chef's son describing what the items were. We also had a very knowledgeable and pleasant waiter in Brian, who we would highly recommend if you go there. Don't miss this history rich restaurant with its elegant setting. I don't think you will be disappointed. PS: Also an amazing wine list.

One of the top two best meals of my life (the other being the Chef’s Table at The Appalachian in Sevierville, TN). Everything was perfect, from food, to service, to atmosphere. If you’re looking for a top tier fine dining Charleston experience, look no further. Even the amuse bouche had us wow-ed. Do yourself a favor and get one of each of the tasting menus and share to experience it all. Nothing fell short. Can’t wait to come back in the future!!

Pros and cons for this restaurant. I am solo with a pet. I got there 10 minutes before they opened and let them know I was there. I then waited almost 20 minutes with no acknowledgement and eventually went to the bar asking to be seated. Once I was seated, the waitress was kind and attentive. She brought my pet a cup of ice cold water, but the water bowl outside where we waited was very dirty. The food was very good. My burger was a little pink and I realized I was never asked how I wanted it cooked. When the bill came for 2 daiquiris, a burger, fries and cucumber salad, it was $50!!!! I had seen the menu online where a daiquiri was $8 and is now apparently $13. The burger went up only a couple of dollars. The waitress stated that was an old menu but big increase either way. I didn't argue, I paid and tipped well because it's not the waitress' fault. The patio is covered with fans which is great for a pet because most outdoor seating is not covered and can get very hot. So...pros and cons but not sure I'll return.

We stumbled on this place when we were visiting Shem Boardwalk… Loved the food… Had the grouper sandwich. Grilled shrimp. French fries were delicious. The pineapple jalapeño coleslaw was great. The atmosphere was fabulous busy and the service was magnificent.

Waterfront dining, excellent service and great food! Reds is a true vacation feel! The house margarita was excellent and the crab cakes were wonderful! The low country boil could have used some seasoning but the portion sizes was perfect! Our server was friendly and energetic and prices were very reasonable too! The parking lot (paid) can get full due to the variety of restaurants around, however, we did a few circles and found a spot within a few minutes. Waterfront seating is first come first serve but the views were beautiful, especially during sunset. We loved Reds!

We had a really nice lunch here today. There was a little bit of a wait since they were very busy, but it was less than 15 mins. Once we were seated, our waitress was very attentive and our food came out quickly. I had the grouper sandwich and it was delicious. My fiance had their crab cake platter and enjoyed it. We'd definitely come back if/when we're in the area. It is a little expensive, but it's quality seafood too.

Nice outdoor bar. Highly recommend the BBQ bacon wrapped scallops and the Buffalo shrimp po boy. Both fresh and delicious!

Red's is an awesome place to eat. I ordered the low country boil & the jalapeño hushpuppies. It was delicious. We waited about 40-45 min for a table. Our waitress was friendly. We will definitely go back when we are in the area again. The view is of Shem Creek & watching the boats go by. There are other restaurants there (Saltwater¹ Cowboys, Muddy's & some others). You can go for a walk on the Boardwalk. Walk down thru there, and you can see where Heyward's Seafood is (Outer Banks) & The Wreck (Kiara's parents restaurant on the show).

Meh. I was so excited for the crab cakes, and while they were all crab, they tasted like everything else on the plate as everything was covered with Old Bay type seasoning. The butter didn’t even taste like butter. Calamari appetizer was a good size portion, but nothing special. It all tasted premade and processed. Attention to detail was lacking - see photo. Waitress was nice but the kid who brought our food just tossed it on the table with a grunt and don’t bother me look.

We saw Nemo on King St and he told us to try out this rooftop bar. He was right. Great for sunset. Great drinks. Nemo was our server. He helped us pick out the best apps. Mac and cheese bites were money. We had such a good time that we brought our ghost tour group back afterwards. Luckily no haunting there…but we did hear about pirates. Anyways. Give the Rooftop a try and ask for Nemo.

Fun atmosphere with modern art pieces and a rooftop view of the south part of Charleston. You can sit under cover or in the open air. Not a large menu, but a variety of offerings, including Mediterranean, seafood, and vegetarian. Dana is delightful! We had great service and a good time talking with her. The Chocolate Temptation I is a wicked dark chocolate dessert. We spent over $20 a person, but that’s because we needed to try several things

We hit this rooftop bar for sunset and it did not disappoint! The hotel (Vendu) is modern, eclectic, and weird (why are the bathrooms RED?), but the bar is open and pleasant. Our bartender, Tim, was friendly, engaging, and tolerant of my goofy questions. And he makes an excellent Negroni!

This was my first stop in Charleston. The food was decent—the steak was cooked to the requested temperature but had a fairly simple flavor profile. The “Hey Honey!” mocktail was a standout, well-balanced and refreshing. The cheesecake, however, was underwhelming—overly sweet and lacking in depth. Unfortunately, despite being a rooftop restaurant and bar, the view was quite limited. It appeared that there may have been a higher level—possibly with a better vantage point—but it was closed during my visit. I’d recommend checking whether that upper level is open, as it might offer a more worthwhile rooftop experience. The highlight of my visit was Dana, my server. As it was my first time in Charleston, her attentive service and generous local insight made a real difference. She went above and beyond, helping me plan the rest of my trip with her thoughtful recommendations.

Great views of Charleston. Fun time when you go with friends. Beer choices are basic...but you're not there to drink. You're there to socialize :)

KJ was a great waitress! She kept our drinks full and was very friendly. We are here from Michigan but if we are ever back in Charleston, we will definitely be back. Picture of the view from the rooftop!

We came in around noon for a light lunch and some cocktails on the rooftop. We were immediately greeted by Dana with a huge smile. While we were sitting we watched Dana single handily take care of so many tables. She was super attentive and friendly. Even though it was extremely busy with just one server our food came out fast and our drinks were never empty. The food and drinks were delicious. The weather and the view were perfect. We would for sure recommend this restaurant and hope to have Dana again!

The other reviews are right…this place was so delicious! The service, food, and cozy vibe were all amazing. My favorite dish was the farro & Brussel sprout salad (I never knew something so simple could have so much flavor! & the crunchy peanuts were such a pleasant surprise!). Our second favorite was The Rutledge pizza. We also ordered the radiatore pasta, pesce a la plancha, and chocolate mousse. All yummy :)

Everything was awesome from the service, the vibes, and the food. Must get reservation as wait time in peak beach season is usually 1.5-2.5 hrs. Pizza is fantastic with nice dough, and fresh ingredients. Definitely more wood fired Neapolitan vs thin and crispy. Pasta was clearly fresh, huge portion, perfectly cooked and salted well. Sauce soaked up in the noodles well but didn’t make them soggy. Parking is slightly difficult, with minimal spots attached and then street/paid parking around it.

As someone formerly in the hospitality industry, I am always grateful when I get to dine somewhere that has talented chefs & a wonderful atmosphere. Every dish was created with care & attention to detail along with amazing flavor combinations. I loved that everything was fresh. My boyfriend & I enjoyed drinks at the bar before transitioning to our table with the rest of our party. Portions are large & easily shareable. Highly recommend reservations & trying as much of the menu as you can!

Outstanding restaurant. We did not have a reservation but were able to get seats at the bar. Frank the bartender was terrific and helped us with drink and food choices since this was our 1st time here. Frank really knew the food and also recommended a perfect wine pairing with our 2nd dish. We split the N. Carolina Apple Salad of celery, apples, mint and dates dressed in a vinagrette with dots of gorgonzola cream on the plate. It's only available during the fall season so we went for it and were glad we did! (Pardon the salad pic taken after we began eating it!) Our 2nd splitter was a white pizza called Five Fathom Hole 3.0 with clams, rapini, mozzarella, garlic, chili flakes and fresh lemon to squeeze on it. We also had a cocktail, beer and a glass of wine.

This restaurant doesn't particularly cater to children but it looked like the perfect, quintessential Sullivan's Island vibe I was looking for so we took a chance. We showed up after a long day walking around Charleston with cranky kids, but they were kind and understanding. We decided to start the kids off with gelato because they were hangry and we were able to order a simple, kid friendly pizza for them to share. Hubby and I both got pasta dishes and everything came out delicious. He also said his espresso martini was the best he's had. If you are looking for a casual but classy vibe with elevated food options this is the place.

One of our favorite dining experiences during our trip to the Charleston area. We started with a seared seafood sausage in tomato butter appetizer that was fantastic followed by the Ricotta gnocchi with short rib ragu and The Rutledge pizza. We finished by sharing their pecan bourbon crème brûlée. This restaurant deserves every ounce of praise it receives. They also have an excellent Italian wine list.

Absolutely lovely time at the obstinate daughter this weekend! The food is so yummy and you really can’t go wrong with anything you choose to get. We got the sweet roll, gnocchi, and pork belly brunch item as well as the catch a buzz and another lavender drink! Highly recommend all of the above. Matt was our server and he made our experience very special as we were celebrating our anniversary with friends!! Such a great spot near the beach on Sullivans Island. I definitely would be prepared to walk a bit from where you park a since most of the parking is off the main road. Make sure to make a reservation at least a week in advance, but if you don’t make it in time, I would recommend setting notifications for reservations that open up throughout the week (that’s what we did). Absolutely worth the hype!!!

My daughter has been taking me to Oak consistently for my birthday over the past 7 years. Everything about my past visits have been good. The food has always been excellent and the service as well. We went tonight for dinner and everything was just outstanding. The food was excellent and the service was the best I have ever experienced. Beyond what I experienced before. Our server was Ramesh and he was the ultimate in professionalism, service and did everything to make my birthday special!!! He was the BEST!! In reality everyone wished me a happy birthday, from the hostess to the young man filling the water glasses. It was a special dinner of roasted duck breast, brussels and ended with a slice of birthday peach cheesecake. Thank you to Oak for such a delightful culinary experience for my birthday!

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday last weekend. We had a wonderful time. We tried the Rockfeller oysters that our waiter suggested, absolutely amazing! Our dinners, duck and steak, were also amazing! That was probably the best duck I've ever had. The service there was very helpful and friendly. Our sever was very knowledgeable on all the dishes, gave great recommendations, and genuinely seemed to enjoy working at this restaurant. I would highly recommend this place for a special outing!

It was a lovely experience. The food was delicious and our server was pleasant. The only thing I didn't care too much for was how loud it was inside. I'm not sure if it's the acoustics in the building but it was hard to have a conversation.

Fabulous steakhouse in historic district of Charleston just 1 block from the river. We came for my son’s birthday - they surprised us with special menu’s printed for him. The waiter was attentive and very knowledgeable. The restaurant is 3 levels but managed to feel intimate but not stuffy. The meal was nicely paced and everything tasted delicious. Highly recommend the rolls!!

Delicious steak and frites on the bar menu. Perfect for a small meal if you don’t require a full-sized dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful. Had great conversation with some locals and business travelers.

Ryan was a great waiter! Drinks were fantastic, the bread was fluffy and warm. The best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had! The filet was extremely average and we didn’t care for the jalapeño cornbread. The service was great and high end. We enjoyed our time and meal overall.

We were celebrating our 13 year Wedding Anniversary. The restaurant was Nice! Very upscale and nice for special occasions. The pork Belly was good. The wedge salad was delicious. My steak was decent. Scallop was delicious. My hubby had a NY Strip, it was cooked perfect. Mine was a little too well done. I did not get an $80 portion of food!!! The black eye peas were disgusting! We sent them back. They were Hard and under cooked. Sam our waiter was Awesome! He did an amazing job! The classic sundae was Delicious!! Very good quality ice cream and toppings. Drink was good to! Made perfect. This was definitely a one night stand type restaurant. Based on price and portion we will not go back!

Fantastic spot right on the water during sunset, (we even saw Dolphins!). We loved the Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Dynamite Shrimp, Crab & Artichoke Dip, and Fire Roasted Oysters appetizers. Out of the group of six of us, we all decided the Sweet Corn + Leek Ravioli entree was the best out of everything else we got. The swordfish was close second, but other than that, nothing compared. The only disappointing part of the experience was the rude service. Our server did not write anything down and we didn't notice/care about that until she brought out the wrong items multiple times. For example, someone in my party pointed at the appetizers section on the menu and ordered the fire-roasted oysters. Plain oysters came out instead from a server assistant, then once we told our waitress (30 seconds later and untouched), she proceeded to tell us we were wrong and that we did not say the fire-roasted oysters originally, and gave us an attitude. We are a very easygoing group, but we did not appreciate the change in her service once he addressed a few incorrect drinks and food swaps. However, the atmosphere and food still made this a great dinner spot!

The burger is the best item on the menu!!! Don't waste your time. Plenty of restaurants in the area to choose from. Don't let the location fool you. The service was awesome. The flatbed was soggy. The steak had a weird flavor and the temp we asked for was medium, came to the table rare. Tough!!! Let's just say, skip it.

TLDR: The only thing worth the price (during lunch) was thir amazing Dynamite shrimp. Cocktails weren't great, service is good. Expensive and TBH not worth the price during lunch (other than the FANTASTIC Dynamite shrimp appetizer). Perhaps it's better quality during dinner? The scenery is nice, as in the atmosphere being nice and close to the water. The view being blocked mostly by thick dark pieces of wood was disappointing when they could have easily replaced that with something thinner and sturdy, but all in all a good atmosphere. Service was great, the waiter frequently asked about if there was anything that he could get us and was kind. Two appetizers, two entrees, two drinks, $130 with 22% tip...

Our late lunch here was very good. Nice beer selection, the ahi tuna poke bowls were delicious, the dolphin appearances were a bonus. Our service was just ok, unfortunately.

First time visiting. All I can say is AMAZING!! We were seated quickly inside by the window. Came during Sunday brunch. Atmosphere was very relaxing and chill. Our server, Milen Kostov from Bulgaria was on top of great service. He was very informative, knowledgeable,about the menu. We had the shrimp and grits which was savory, spicy and flavorful. And also the Smoked salmon on toast which was filling and delicious. A total 5 star! You won't be disappointed!

I came to eat here for the first time and was really looking forward to the experience. I ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell, the artichoke crab dip, and the Bolognese. The oysters were very fresh and delicious, easily the highlight of the meal. The artichoke crab dip was also surprisingly good. I wasn’t sure how those flavors would mix together, but it ended up being really tasty and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the Bolognese was where I was most let down. The sauce was very heavy and not what I expected. The pasta was also slightly undercooked, which made it less enjoyable overall. The person I was with and I split the entrée, and as shown in the photo, there is a clear before and after comparison showing how little we ate before deciding to stop because neither of us liked it. The service was also disappointing. Our server greeted us, brought our drinks and food, and later brought the check, but there was no real engagement beyond that. He never came back to check if we liked our food, which would have been helpful with the Bolognese since we would have gladly tried something else had we been checked on. The plate sat in front of us for about 20 minutes untouched before the server returned to ask if we were finished. We let him know we didn’t like the dish, but instead of asking what was wrong, offering something different, or trying to make it right, he simply said “okay” and took the plate away. When the check came, I was surprised to see that the Bolognese was still included on the bill, even though we had barely touched it and clearly expressed that we didn’t like it. As someone who also works as a server, I know how important it is to show care for the guest’s experience and at least attempt to make it right. It was disappointing to see that kind of service here. Overall, I was pleased with the oysters, the dip, and the drinks, but the main course and service experience were not up to the standard I expected. I’m sharing this in a constructive way, not to be malicious, and have chosen not to include the server’s name out of respect. I hope this feedback helps the restaurant improve, because the food that was good was really good, and the place has potential to offer a great overall dining experience with a bit more attention to detail and guest care.

A group of six of us sat for brunch last weekend and it was lovely! I particularly wanted to leave a review for the service. Though I didn't get our server's name, he made great, timely service look easy and approachable and it did not go unnoticed. As a first time visitor I look forward to coming back and sitting on the deck next time!

The Darling Oyster Bar had such amazing food! It was my first time trying raw oysters, and they were so good! It's really worth trying to stop in during their happy hour to get the discounted oysters. I got their fry basket with fried shrimp and fried oysters. The shrimp was fried differently from what I've had before, and it was amazing! We also got the crab dip to start, and it was good as well. They had a Mexican style cheesecake as one of their desserts. It was so good and had a lot of citrus on it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because our server was not very attentive. She rarely came to check on us, while the other servers were attentive to their tables. Everything else was amazing, and we had such a great time!

Slid in at happy hour and took a spot at the bar. Quick and friendly service for oysters, crab dip, and a green salad. James River VA oysters happy hour priced for just $1 ea. plus a nice mix of regional oysters. The crab dip is a must. The salad had a nice dressing with crispy bread crumbs mixed throughout. Carrots, radishes, cucumbers sliced thin so they add to, not overwhelm. My Negroni was quite possibly the best I've had, and my wife enjoyed the Pear 75.

Not just oysters, but a good and interesting full menu. Thoroughly enjoyed eating here. The food was great, The oysters of course were delicious, the service delightful and I even found a beer that I liked (not just overpowered IPAs or tasteless thin lagers!!) Would definitely dine here again.

A delicious dining experience. Top notch service. The oysters were good and the peel & eat shrimp were top notch. Scallops were hands down best dish. The shrimp and grits were good, not great. Want to try the fresh catch next time it looked quite good.

Excellent experience from start to finish. My reserved table was ready upon arrival, friendly and attentive staff provided outstanding service, all my dishes (fresh oysters, clam chowder, fried shrimp) were outstanding. Highly recommend this terrific restaurant!

Amazing! First time here for us & we couldn’t be happier. Olivia was our server & she was knowledgeable & very pleasant. We ordered oysters (super fresh & clean), shrimp cocktail with some old bay seasoning, kale slaw (so fresh, clean, and no bitterness at all), and the hush puppies with sorghum butter. Everything was delicious, one of the best meal we have had in a while!

Great food and atmosphere! The crab dip was superb, really all the food was outrageously good. We had hush puppies, fried fish and fries. Service was prompt and friendly. We made a reservation but ended up getting seated sooner.

My friend and I came in for a quick dessert and a glass of wine after dinner. We were sat immediately and the hosts were super nice and asked if a booth was suitable. After taking a quick glance at the menu our server Anna came and greeted us, walking us through the dessert menu. We mentioned that my friend has a nut allergy and Anna quickly confirmed with the kitchen that the nuts she was allergic to were not in or on the dessert we ordered. The Ricotta almond cake was DIVINE. A perfect suggestion made by our server. It practically melted in our mouths! The textures were soft with a bit of crunch at the end from the almonds! Overall it was an amazing experience! We will absolutely be back for a full course meal! Thank you Anna!

An incredible meal. Was difficult to determine what to order because it all sounded intriguing! Many vegetarian options because they are heavy produce, but so much better! Had eggplant for our app, fish and pasta for dinner.

The Grocery is a welcoming neighborhood eatery dishing out fan favorites sourced from farmers, fisherman, and friends. We had a large party and they were very accommodating. They let us eat and catch up with friends. The standouts from the meal were the bistro steak and story farms half chicken but everything was delicious. Charleston has lots of great spots and You can add the Grocery to the list! We will be back!

The pickled green tomato dirty martini is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had! In addition we had delicious pasta and veggies. The steak tartare was also a highlight and the service was delightful!

We came to groceries several times in the past and have not been to this restaurant for a while so we decided to check out this place and made a reservation last week. We had a wonderful dinner at the grocery and pretty surprise that we didn't do it sooner. Our server was friendly and quite knowledgeable with the menu and drink The restaurant was roomy and has a good lay out. We had the storey farm half chicken dish and the potato crusted tile fish. They were so good. The yellowfin tuna crudo and broccoli salad tasted amazing as well. We will be back!

The food was AMAZING!! Service was good, I didnt enjoy that when we sat before even looking at menus we were asked if we wanted bread and butter. We said yes assuming it was complimentary like so many other restaurants, but when the bill came, they charged us for it. It was a very sneaky move. I dont appreciate that kind of service. Other than that everything was spot on Other than that everything was amazing. We ordered mushrooms, blistered peppers, wreck fish, and the baklava sundae 🍨 Highly recommend

Excellent drink menu, delicious small plates. The pork belly, peaches, and eggplant plates were all very well done, and I normally avoid eggplant. Everything is well balanced and thoughtfully constructed. The potatoes with the steak were uniquely prepared, thin sliced, and then restocked. The Au Pear cocktail was delicious but a tad small, or at least that was my perception. Would absolutely come back. Rachel was our server, she was very helpful and accommodating.

I stopped in for a mimosa on Second Sunday before walking the King Street market. It’s a cute place. A band was setting up to play some live music. Places like this do really well with brunch in Tampa. Just a suggestion to bring in an earlier Sunday crowd.

We went to republic for a night out for my sister’s bachelorette and we loved it! The atmosphere was welcoming and fun. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The drinks tasted great! I loved the pineapple upside cake shots! We definitely will be back when we’re back in town!

We hit up Republic 3 days in a row during the day while we were in Charleston. It was our go to spot for people watching and hanging on their cute patio while enjoying afternoon cocktails. While I can't speak on the nighttime vibe, during the day it was a chill place. We really enjoyed chatting with our bartender, Rob, who gave us some good recommendations to check out while we were in town. I don't drink alcohol so I enjoyed some of the Mocktails they had to offer. It's definitely the place to go during the day if you want a relaxing spot that's outside.

Had the best time here during the day and at night as we continued our Southern Hospitality tour…and Republic and their staff delivered! Shane was our friendly server in the garden and at night! Ty, working the door day and night, totally hooked us up to make us feel like VIPs!! Michols was so nice to take pics with us and we met Joe Bradley too! We had great bar bites during the day while DJs played and fun people watching! It was a highlight of our trip and can’t wait to come back!!

Super cute and classy spot for The Edge Girl collective Popup. Featuring Rangoni, Norton + Hodges, Fine Line Custom Brims, and of course, The Edge Girl, Theresa Spann. ❤️❤️❤️ Jeffrey Bowens Photography 🔥🔥🔥 📷

I’ve been to republic many times over the last year during the day and always have a great experience! The bartender I’ve seen the most there is TJ and he always provides great service. He also has recommendations for fun things to do in town or cool sights to see! The music definitely creates a really fun atmosphere on the outdoor patio

came to CHS for a 4 day girls trip and ended up going back to republic 3 times! did a brunch on thursday - food was excellent and the staff was super sweet and accommodating. friday night’s club night was by far my favorite! we had a vip table on the patio and the vibes were immaculate! got to meet joe and maddi and they were so down to earth and genuinely awesome. our bottle girls were absolute earth angels! i LOVED julie!!! she felt like the 8th friend who got to the girls trip a little late. give that woman a raise, leva.

Out for a walk and came across this little neighborhood cafe. The service was great, the atmosphere laid back and the food very good. The roasted vegetables and the grilled salmon were delicious and it was the perfect ending to a great Charleston day. The crowd appears to be mostly neighborhood people and it was very relaxing.

Burger was solid but oh my those truffle fries are to die for! I will definitely be back just to try those again, so fresh and crispy they were actually perfect!

We’re visiting from Tampa Bay for the 10K in Charleston and someone on the street recommended this cafe. I was little insured bcs I did see anyone in. However, they were just opening. We had the fried green tomato with pimento cheese and baby arugula and the salmon salad. It was just delicious. Bryan the young man who serve us was wonderful. We’d not be more pleased. Thank you for the great food and service.

Nice day for a walk to a neighborhood cafe. Atmosphere was vivacious yet relaxing. Well greeted by cordial server. The food was wonderfully prepared and delicious. We ordered the very juicy grilled chicken sandwich with side Caesar salad and black bean burger (indescribably good) with fresh cut fries (portion too generous to eat all). Also, there is a great offering of freshly made desserts on display. This sunny spot gets a “like” and would recommend.

Ask for Rose she’s a great wait staff and makes sure to check on your meal throughout the experience here. I sat alone and she was more than welcomed company who demonstrated exemplary service despite a busy period. Give that girl a raise ! -Dr.F

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME, service is great, people are great, food is great. Overall an amazing experience.

January 6, 2023 - On recommendation, my wife and I walked from our hotel to dine tonight at 60 Bull Cafe . . . Glad we did! Chef Joel Vetsch opened his dream restaurant in 2016. His culinary skills produced a tasty arugula salad with a sweet & tangy mustard vinaigrette! I liked the Duck confit BLT , with Parmesan fries! My wife enjoyed her Flounder special tonight! Unfortunately we too full to try the homemade desserts, next time maybe that delicious looking pecan pie, or the chocolate & peanut butter pie! I also praise the SC beer choices! I enjoyed a Holy City Pluff Mud Porter! High marks for the food quality, and Savannah’s flawless service ! This little neighborhood restaurant offers fresh food, prepared with new twists on Southern American cuisine! You won’t find long lines, but abit of a wait for one of the few tables . They accept reservations for parties of 6 or more. A solid 5 stars rating at 60 Bull Cafe! Suggestion: “Evening dinners” might plan ahead for dinner reservations, seek out early or later times to be seated . . . avoid “ peak times”! I’ve realized there’s a lot of HUNGRY diners, looking for dinner OUT in Charleston!

We visited Pour taproom more than once while visiting in November 2024. It’s located on the rooftop of the Hyatt House Hotel. It’s kind of unique in the way they operate. You set up a tab with a credit card. Then you use a coded card to access the taps of your choice. If you prefer other drinks like mixed or wine, there is a bartender. But for beer and such, you do all the work. Prices vary with each product. You are charged by the volume you dispense. They price it by the ounce to give you an idea of. You can enjoy your beverage indoor or out on the rooftop if you prefer. You can see more during the day, but I like the night view myself. You have views both indoor and outdoor. They do serve a limited menu of what one would consider bar food. I ordered a burger and fries the first night. I will say that I found it quite good. And the prices were somewhat reasonable. The wife ordered a chef salad and had the same experience. If not having alcohol, you pay upfront, unlike the tab for alcohol. Although I do not care for they asking for a tip before we even sat down. I visited one of the anybody restrooms. This was early in the afternoon and I found the restroom cleanliness to be disappointing at best. It should not be in such conditions shortly after opening. This is a unique experience that has you doing most of the work, and paying for it, if you’re pouring beers. It can also be quite expensive depending on what and how much you consume. Of course when you check out, a tip is expected, even though other than giving them your credit card, they basically have done nothing for you. But it is a unique experience that’s worth a visit. It’s also very convenient if you’re staying at Hyatt House. It may not be the cheapest place to visit depending on your particular situation. But we found it enjoyable and unique with nice views. We visited more than once, that must say something.

So many beer taps with delicious beers for every taste but so little time!! (Also cocktails available) You get a pass linked to your credit card then pour the beers yourself and you are charged by the measure. This allows you to pour any amount of beer you like and to try several brews - great system! You can also order food which is very good and sit either on the rooftop with a view over Charleston or inside. Fun and unique experience.

Absolutely amazing rooftop experience with a beautiful view of the city. Large selection of beer options and cocktails with delicious food as well. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, great service all around. Highly recommend the charred brussel sprouts.

I've been attending the Charleston Conference for almost a decade at this point and I believe I've been derelict in not leaving a review. Important points: 1. Hotel guests 10% off and you don't need to be a Hyatt member. 2. It is the tallest rooftop bar in Charleston and it's the most relaxed one without feeling like you're competing with either noise or crowds 3. The food is solid and reliable 4. There are board games and the Scrabble board isn't missing any pieces 5. (my Librarian brain counted the pieces) 6. They went off menu and made a Hot Toddy for my wife 7. Great service and accommodating 8. They play great bops (as the kids say) and yet nothing is obnoxious One of my favorite Hyatts and hotel restaurants in the country overall for hitting 60+ nights a year.

This place is a gem! Awesome local taproom. Great selection of beers - IPAs, stouts, sours, they have it all. The bartenders really know their stuff, and is a Bills fan, who helped me pick out some winners. The vibe is chill and friendly. Definitely a cool spot to kick off a night on King Street! 🍻🍺

Great views and good beer selection. Had some technical issues but the staff was quick to resolve it.

A great spot to come hang with a few friends and have some drinks- beer and other spirits await. The food was great. Lemon pepper wings cooked to perfection! Will definitely be back!

Food was good- pepperoni and basil on gluten free crust & another pepperoni on regular crust. Pizza is wood fired and has that thin crust, rustic, floury thing going on. The kids tried the hot honey on theirs and loved it! The meat and cheese board was good as well. We went on a weekend and there was competing music between here and the bar across the street, lots of people, lots of kids playing on the playground in the seating area.

Atmosphere is cool, but the food ND service were very bad. I ordered 2 pizzas (fig and prosciutto, and cheese pizza), and both were floppy, greasy, and over charred. My 4 year old enjoyed her slice of cheese, and she also really enjoys walmart brand microwave pizza. The bartender had an attitude all 3 times I went to pick up a drink. She was very unpleasant. I'll post a pic of the napkin after the grease from half a slice dripped on it.

Wow. Loved this place. Friendly service. We got to sit near the live music, which was awesome. Great ambience for a late supper. The pizza was amazing.

We visited for a wedding event. The pizza was outstanding. We had the Fig & Prosciutto and really enjoyed it. Service was good considering it was a crowded Friday night. The staff was friendly and atmosphere was OK but is mainly outdoors so it is weather dependent. The wine selection was good but drinking out of a plastic cups is less than desired. I would recommend this place.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coastal Crust Mount Pleasant – Where the Pizza’s Hot, the Vibes Are Chill, and the Kids Don’t Whine (Much) So, here’s the scene: The Miles Fam just wrapped up a sun-drenched, sand-covered day at Isle of Palms. We were tired, hungry, slightly sunburnt, and dangerously close to a family-wide hanger meltdown. Enter: Coastal Crust — aka pizza paradise with a side of playground magic. Parking? Easy. Like “I didn’t even have to circle the lot while mumbling bad words under my breath” easy. Ordering? Walk-up window. No menus flying, no hostess stand confusion, just straight-to-the-point: What pizza dreams are we making happen today? We grabbed two pies (adult version and kiddo edition), a couple of cannolis because duh, and Diet Cokes (not ice cold, but hey, we’re not fancy). Ten minutes later: BOOM. Our pizzas land. Hot, crispy, wood-fired greatness straight from a flame-licked oven sent by the pizza gods. We claimed a table, planted our number, and let the gremlins (aka our children) loose on the play area that’s literally an old truck turned into a mini jungle gym. It was like a Pinterest board exploded in the best possible way. Meanwhile, live music floated through the air, the sun started setting, and we actually got to sit and eat while the kids were happily distracted. If you’re a parent, you know that’s the real five-star experience. Atmosphere? 10/10. Food? 🔥. Family vibes? Immaculate. Coastal Crust — officially Miles Fam approved. Would eat again. Would bring the kids again. Would probably not share my cannoli next time. Stay crusty, The Miles Fam

We booked Coastal Crust for our wedding and it was 100% the right idea! Everyone loved the food and we got compliments about it all night. They even boxed up any leftovers for people to take home, so cool! And the truck and set up was so cute. Deff a great way to have a food truck but make it cute.

Coastal Crust serves delicious pizza in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meal and the outdoor seating—it was the perfect spot to unwind. Our pizzas were prepared quickly and tasted amazing, and it was great to see a tasty gluten-free option available for my daughter.

Neighborhood pizza spot you have to check out! Limited seating so make a reservation, have patience to wait or arrive early to snag some bar seats. Staff has been nothing but kind to us over the years whether we’re grabbing to go or dining in! Also, we've never had an experience here that was a "miss". 11/10 every time - service, food, environment, etc. Our favorites: their margarita pizza with a side of hot honey, lemon potatoes and blueberry budino. Parking recommendation: it’s downtown and on a street with limited parking, so find a spot in the neighborhood and enjoy the walk if able bodied, if not i’d recommend ubering or dropping your party member(s) off at the door.

Super dope place we went to on a Saturday night. Staff were friendly and attentive. Unbeknownst to us we were there during happy hour. Got the miso, and Roman meatballs which were delish. We followed that up with a margarita pizza which was just perfect. Only negative is the parking but if you live in Charleston you know how to overcome and figure it out.

Renzo is a sublime example on how to run a restaurant; from the exceptional quality food to the impeccable service. From the hostess, efficient servers, and the chefs who craft each pizza like it's their very last. Seriously, each of the pies they put out look like pieces of art. I cannot recommend them enough!

Renzo provided me with the BEST pizza I’ve ever had. Not just in Charleston, but from anywhere, ever. The flavor rollercoaster of the Mulberry Street pizza was a ride I didn’t want to end. So, I got another one to go. Also, they have homemade ranch. Excellent and attentive staff.

So delicious! This is not your usual pizza joint, they make the most unusual combinations of flavors that no one else dares to do and you will be happy you tried it. If you really want, you can "make your own" but trust them, at least once. Their Korean fried chicken will make you forget it's an Italian restaurant and the Caesar even has nuts and sunflower seeds to make it special. They also have one of, if not the best and most creative bartenders in all of Charleston, try one of his specialty cocktails, but he'll also be more than happy to fix you your favorite classic as well. The menu is ever changing, so it's always a new experience!

The food was delicious! Hands down the best ranch dressing I've ever had. The caesar salad and the empanadas were great starters and we really enjoyed the Kevin McAllister pizza! Definitely would recommend

Renzo is the coziest neighborhood pizza joint. Quality of the food is so good. Great price for good pizza. Did I mention they have the best Ranch dressing? Do not sleep on a side of Ranch for your pizza. Trust me. This is coming from someone who doesn’t like ranch. Then their budino for dessert. SO good!!

Fun location for a restaurant, great atmosphere. The food overall is pretty good but the steak was amazing- flavorful, melt in your mouth delicious. We sat outside around sunset, it got a little buggy but it was a nice experience. The spicy mango margarita was yummy and our service was great. Thanks for a cool experience.

The primary adjective I would choose for the cuisine at Rancho Lewis is HEARTY. The service was exceptional and the venue is lovely. Quick for us to get a table around 5:30 on a Saturday evening. I want to come back and try some lighter fare, but my husband definitely won the clean plate award.

We had a big family dinner at Rancho Lewis and it couldn’t have been better! The staff handled our large group with ease, keeping drinks full and the chips and salsa flowing. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and full of that authentic Tex-Mex charm—plus the artwork and decor made for the perfect backdrop for photos. Every plate at our table looked amazing, from tacos and fajitas to burgers and ribs. The flavors were spot-on and portions generous. You can tell everything’s made fresh and served with pride. If you’re in Charleston and want great food, friendly service, and a place that can handle a crowd while still feeling welcoming, Rancho Lewis is the spot. Highly recommend for families, groups, or anyone who loves great Tex-Mex! 🌮🌵

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my third visit to Rancho Lewis, and I really wanted to love it since I’m a huge fan of Lewis Barbecue! We were actually on our way there but couldn’t wait in the hour-plus line with our little ones, so we decided to stop here instead. Rancho Lewis has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful décor, even though the area around it is currently under construction. The restaurant was packed, but the wait time wasn’t long, which was great. My wedge salad with steak protein was just okay — nothing special this time. The biggest disappointment was the very limited kids’ menu. The only options were a bean and cheese burrito, a cheese quesadilla, or chicken tenders. With two kids who are gluten-free, what they really wanted was a simple beef and cheese taco, which unfortunately wasn’t available unless we ordered a $22 steak taco off the main menu. Overall, it’s a nice spot with potential, and I’ll give it another try down the road. Follow me on Instagram @holycityfitblonde for more great reviews on restaurants, hotels, boutiques, and much more!

One of our favourite place to go for a group. It’s welcoming, spacious, friendly ambiance. Start at the bar before the meals! The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating space. Best to have reservations especially at busy hours and weekends since it can get really busy.

Was super excited for the beef ribs, but they were just kind of ok…wasn’t prepared for the huge portion either! Friend said his beef enchiladas were just ok…nachos were good, I liked how they were individually portioned. Server was not the friendliest… I would try again one more time tho and hope for the best.

As a Texan, I have high standards for BBQ and Mexican food, and this place nailed both. The Queso Asado was delicious, the homemade tortillas were fresh, and the beef back ribs were tender and full of flavor. The margarita was perfect, too. I also loved the mix of country and Mexican music—it felt like home. Everything was perfectly priced. Great food, great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

Yeah, I’ll be back. Bartenders were cool, told me orange slices for my tequila are a no. I laughed and drank my tequila anyways. Patrons around us were so friendly. THE BARTENDERS WERE SO COOL. I’m only bringing my cool friends here. Can’t wait to come back. Also - what the heck is a bacon plate???? I need to know. I will come back in a few weeks to find out.

It’s like a college bar but for all ages ! I loved it so much we went 2x this week.

If you're ever at the Recovery Room Tavern in Charleston, do yourself a favor and find Connor—he’s truly the heartbeat of the place. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Connor has a way of making everyone feel like a longtime friend. His energy is magnetic, his service is top-tier, and he somehow remembers exactly what you ordered the last time you were there—even if it’s been weeks. What makes Connor stand out isn’t just his speed behind the bar or his deep knowledge of drinks (though both are impressive); it’s his genuine vibe. He brings a mix of humor, authenticity, and professionalism that instantly makes the place feel more welcoming. He’s the kind of bartender who not only serves your drink but brightens your entire night. The Recovery Room already has its legendary dive bar charm, but Connor elevates the whole experience. From the perfect pour to the thoughtful conversation, he’s the kind of person who turns a casual stop-in into your new favorite spot.

What a fantastic night! This place has such a fun and lively atmosphere. The highlight was definitely the fast service from Connor behind the bar. Even though the place was packed, he was quick, friendly, and made sure everyone was taken care of. Highly recommend!

It’s a dive bar but definitely the best bar we went to in Charleston. Strong pours, fun, happy patrons, friendly bar staff and just so good. If you are looking for a down to earth bar full of locals check it out and have a good time. Enjoy!

If you're thirsting for some PBR, this is the place to be. The prices on food and drinks are great, and they do not skimp on the alcohol. It can get really busy at times, but the bartenders do work fast and will help you with anything you need. The place also has foosball, pool tables, and a really tiny dance floor. Do be aware that the toilet in the men's restroom is completely open. Other than that, I would recommend coming here for cheap drinks and bar food. Great place with great prices.

Cool dive bar.. PBR was $3 and Surfside Vodka Lemonade $9.. It was busy for Sunday.

My wife and I visited Estadio on Saturday to make sure that we took advantage of the Aswang Noodle Club pop-up and for an early 19th Anniversary celebration. DELICIOUS! Started with the roasted oysters and the gyoza pork dumplings. The oysters were so juicy and tasty and the tarragon really added a nice flavor. The dumplings....stuffed with pork. So much rich flavor there with the chili oil without being "heavy". The chef recommended trying some off-menu raw oysters - Ocean Kiss from Bath, Maine served with a little minced shallot and maybe a drop or 2 of rice vinegar (I think). So tasty!! The mushroom lettuce wraps could be a meal itself. A variety of seared mushrooms mixed with spices, garlic and roasted red onion wrapped in lettuce with cilantro, a smoky red sauce, sticky white rice, and seaweed. I know - sounds overwhelming but so very tasty. My wife is not a huge Ramen fan but we shared the bowl of Shio Kaisen which hit the spot! While stuffed, the bartender talked us into trying the Matcha cheesecake paired with a sweet Sherry. This is not your average cheesecake - less creamy and more of a cake texture. It was moist and delicious and the citrus marmalade drizzle was amazing. I can't really describe the flavors that you get with each bite of these dishes, but "eyes rolling back in my head" comes close. GREAT NEWS is that the pop-up will be there for another week. So worth trying!! Never tried a good Vermouth? Both of the red options are very tasty!!

Awesome atmosphere, food and prompt service. Manchego cheese and Serrano ham with pigs in blanket to start, BBQ ribs and Flank steak were on point. Finish with the chocolate churros. Thank you Estadio team!

I had a great time in this place. Food was incredible. I was hungry and ordered the steak that was awesome, tender, soft and juicy. I had also scallops and the sauce was magnificent, crunchy by the almonds and a little bitter that balances the whole flavor. Churros are a must! They are not like the typical churros. Just try them

Y’all. Get here! Super yummm tapas, cutest place. Absolutely delicious food & drinks and the service is perfection. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great little tapas bar! The warm decor was definitely evocative of Spain and every dish I tried was delectable! The shrimp were some of the best I've ever had and they also have a great cocktail menu. I recommend the milk punch, especially with the gildas. Jimmy and Spencer were absolutely amazing, providing great service and engaging company. They are happy to explain any of the items on the menu.

Absolutely delicious! We ordered almost every single item on the menu, and all the food was consistently delicious. The presentation is outstanding. Our server was so nice and offered two types of water. Both were refreshing. I highly recommend this restaurant! Next time we are in Charleston that’s going to be a mandatory stop for us! 😊

Best meal we had in Charleston, 10 out of 10 recommend. patatas bravad, paella and shrimp were so good that I was texting my girlfriends to see if they wanted to do a trip to Spain. Beautiful restaurant amazing atmosphere, pet friendly on the patio and incredible service. Great cocktails. A must try

Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Limited seating inside and outside but it seems like a hot spot! Their sandwiches and salads looked amazing as I saw them going out but I thoroughly enjoyed my cortado with their house made syrup. The vibe is lively and it seemed like a good place for a date, to study or grab something to go. I look forward to coming back to try their food!

I absolutely loved this place when I visited Charleston this month. I tried the Peanut Mocha (hot) and it was so delicious. It wasn’t “too sweet”, it was made just right. The service was also great and fast, we didn’t have to wait too long for our drinks. Super cute spot that’s worth checking out if you are in the area.

Delightful. (European-style) turkey club 8/10. Pistachio and Parmesan salad 10/10. Sparkling limeade 9/10. Expect a line and you won’t be disappointed. There’s an impressive number of table options (indoor/outdoor), including standing tables to accommodate regular rushes.

Pb mocha is insane. So good. Everything I’ve tried here is tasty and made quickly — even when it’s clearly very busy. Great for dessert, afternoon pick me up, or happy hour.

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! I had about two daiquiris before I started to remember all that my ex wife put me through…but luckily Will was there with his kind, tender presence to sit with me in my time of need. She really was a piece of work, it’s like like I’m sorry but your sister came on to me 🫡 Anyways great drinks, cool atmosphere!

Stop by this quaint coffee shop if you are ready to consume the best banana bread of your life. The coffee was also amazing, brewing counter culture- my favorite! Best of all, their vibey atmospheric house music playlist was fire. Wish I was a local to come here every morning.

What an incredible spot. We came here FOUR times on our weekend trip because we loved it so much. It’s great for a light breakfast, or fun cocktails and shareable dinner plates. The service is exceptional, the vibes are immaculate and the food is as close to perfect as it gets. Lots of little special details. Highly recommend the potato soup, the whipped espresso and the banana bread. All of the pastries are exceptional.

The vibe of this location is great. Mood lighting, leather seats and couches. They have a rooftop patio as well but it was too crowded to go up there. It takes quite some time to get drinks as there is only one bar and though they appeared to have 3-4 bartenders only 1 was really making drinks. The drinks themselves were just average. I definitely like the vibe more than the drinks. Not sure I would return on the future, just an average bar.

Really cool spot with one of the best 'regular' Old Fashions I've ever had. I did have to specify that I wanted a big ice cube which seemed a bit odd, but they were accommodating. The lounge area is cozy with exposed beams and brick, plenty of comfortable seating options. Try to get there early, live music was set to start at 10pm and the place was filling up. It was pricey, but that's downtown Charleston.

Some friends and I were out for happy hour and decided to stop into cocktail club as their happy hour the-thurs runs 5-8. A great deal on the cocktails. We hung out at the bar with several employees behind it and only a few other patrons in the bar for about 10 minutes before a word was said to us. We received our tabs after getting it drinks to find we were charged full price during happy hour. We told the bartender who ran down stairs to check the sign and returned telling us his manager said HH was only until 7. It was advertised as 5-8 on both the chalkboard inside their establishment when you enter and on their website. On top of it I found that the bartender increased the tip I left on my credit card this morning. It is sad that establishments aren't honoring their own promotions! Will avoid it in the future and certainly won't recommend it. There are better cocktails available for $15 a pop!

Very cute spot!! Drinks are good. Our waitress was great. Super chill but attentive. This place is great to come have drinks in a laid back atmosphere. They also have a patio area too which is very cool. Definitely will be back again!

I always love cocktail club, the drinks, the atmosphere, the vibes are amazing. Definitely best music at a bar in downtown. Creston was awesome, he made sure all my girls were safe and having a great time. Would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting for the weekend or a local.

Could be so great. Really nice vibe and good music. Cocktails are a 3/10 and unfortunately the restaurant billed us for many drinks that we either sent back because they were incorrect, or didn't ever order in the first place. No response to phone call or email to discuss, and unfortunately resulted in a credit card dispute after trying all other options.

We stopped in for happy hour, but turns out they didn’t have one? It’s advertised on their website and the board leading up to the bar, but they told us they didn’t have one. Drinks were good and there is definitely more of a laid back vibe here.
