“Long line, but the service is great and the food is better. Even with the long wait it's set up well to get a drink while you wait and then once you get to the counter everyone is awesome and quick. The food is all amazing this is a must stop!“
“Yum yum in my tum tum my daughter said, and she’s right. Pizza, shrimp rolls and short rib ragu in a beautiful afternoon dining al fresco. And dessert from the bearded cat for the road. Terra was excellent in taking care of us and confirming our decisions. This is visit number 6 or 7 and I’ll keep coming back.“
“Entirely too many children. Please have a separate area for kids. I would really love this place if kids weren't running and screaming around me while I tried to enjoy a beer outside. Good food and beer and almost a nice patio if you like kids at a bar.“
“Very cool vibe. Outdoor setting, live music but not overpowering. Drinks were tasty and the food was delicious. The only reason the food got a 4 star not a 5 was we only tried a blackened fish sandwich and a fried chicken sandwich, which were both delicious. But we didn't sample anything more than that. The staff couldn't have been any friendlier!Wheelchair accessibility: Appeared to be wheelchair friendly.“
“Fantastic food and service. We had the hush puppies, clam wraps, char grilled oysters, dark fried chicken. Also a couple beers and frozen gin tonics capped with a chocolate shake. All were fantastic. Only negative was the chicken was a little too bland for my liking. Oysters were incredible!Our server, Dorey was friendly and very helpful. Exactly the type of server I truly appreciate!“
“I come here all the time and have nothing good to say about the servers, food, and atmosphere. Sometimes they have live music which is really a plus!!! Located right on king with a great happy hour and great cocktails!!! Rachel was my server/bartender tonight and she did a great job! The cassara is best in town!!!!“
“I was visiting Charleston and met a friend for breakfast at Harbinger. We were there as they opened their doors on a Saturday and there was already a short line. That's a good sign! I had the avocado toast named grasshopper. It was sooo good! I highly recommend this place for its inventive combinations and delicious bread.“
“Truly outstanding! I have visited Charleston for years, and yes there are good restaurants downtown, BUT Grace and Grit is equal or tops them!! We dined twice, and both times the food is exquisitely executed, so fresh, flavors created with great care, service each time over the top excellent! The manager came over and was truly a gem! He cares so much for the patrons, restaurant and staff, and it shows! Facility is spotless, modern, and very inviting. Lots of choices for beverages, and bourbon lovers will be ecstatic with 400 choices! Try the local appetizer clams, I am still craving them they are so good! We are from Florida, and their key lime pie is better than the original in Key West, and honestly other places I have had in Florida. Loved everything, from salad, to clams, oysters, fish all so fresh, and my husband had their pork chop that was also beyond excellent! This is our new favorite place first over anything famous downtown. Don't pass up- you will be sorry you missed. Location just a minute over the bridge, no challenges for parking as free large lot.“
“Lodi Coffee has so many drink options for all seasons, weather, tastes, or flavor choices. I've never had a bad drink and I get something different every time. From brewed coffee to Red Bull slushes to protein shakes, it's all amazing.“
“When you are a local in this town it's always tough to find somewhere to feel at home and loved. There are so many options to choose from and so many places don't care about customer relations. Kudu is not one of them. They all smile when i walk in, greet me with a hello and even better i can tell they all like and appreciate one another. It does feel like home and i do feel loved.“
“Finally, an authentic West Texas [El Paso] Mexican restaurant in Charleston, SC. The food was delicious with layers of seasoning and flavors. Authentic Hatch Chilis!! Everything was wonderful. Not your Daddy's Mexican restaurant.Update 4.16.2024: unfortunately the food quality has decreased since Patty left Rancho Lewis. Our last few visits have seen a significant slip in food quality - stale tortillas, room temp food, un-melted cheese in Chilis Rellenos, .... the food just misses the mark. Some items are still excellent, but there are disappointments also in execution.“
“The food was delicious, our server (Joshua) was wonderful, and the atmosphere is pretty laid back. I would highly recommend, if you're in the mood for seafoodDietary restrictions: If you have a gluten allergy, they have a gluten free menu to suite your needs.“
“Really great Chicken Caesar salad and great outdoor area for a balmy evening bite. The Salmon BLT was solid too. Hidden favorite was their house honey mustard which we used on our fries. Service was great and the porch as I said, was lovely.“
“Swig and Swine has the best barbecue in Charleston! The food and the service are amazing. I usually get the brisket or pork and it is delicious. The staff are very hospitable as well. I’d definitely recommend trying it out if you’re in the area.“
“We had a ten person party on Saturday night 4/5 which is one of the busiest days of the year for Charleston. The inside was packed so we grabbed a table outside. The service was outstanding. It’s truly been a while since we’ve had service that great and we weren’t expecting it on this night. The food and drinks came out promptly and as ordered and and the waitress was wonderful. Everything was delicious and we really enjoyed it!! Great job staff!“
“The food is great as well as our server Paige. She was very welcoming and provided great service. The food was fresh, not to mention the view is great as our party ate outside for lunch. I would highly recommend to try this restaurant if you haven’t already.“
“I thought I knew what a good breakfast biscuit tasted like, until I came here for the first time. The breakfast here puts all others to shame! Not only is the food delicious (especially the vicious biscuit itself), but the service was fast and considerate. If you are in the area this is the best place you could get breakfast from!“
“We visited Charleston for my sister’s 40th birthday and our group of 7 people went to Stella’s for a late dinner. The food, atmosphere and service was amazing. As a group full of Greeks, we were all impressed with the authentic cuisine and they had great selections for Greek wine. The staff was friendly, attentive and made the experience enjoyable. We would definitely visit this place again next time we are in Charleston.“
“Great place, excellent food, reasonably priced, and fantastic service. It's an absolute gem on James Island worthy of downtown Charleston. Never had something I didn't like. From a fine Charcuterie board to an Italian BLT... steak to chicken and waffles. Lovely outdoor seating area and an elegant yet comfortable bar. It's definitely worth a visit.“
“I love this place! Lunch here is always on point. The oxtail….. baby it is so mouth watering. If you’re looking for a low key spot with great food, wonderful music, and a very attentive staff, look no further than The Crepe Palace.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and they have great options for the little ones. My son loves the desert Crepes.“
Fish & Chips • $
“The absolute best place to get proper fish and chips!!!! I've been coming to this place for years and it's never disappointed!!! If you're ever in the mood for fish and chips Get down here and try it!!!Parking: Parking is a dirt lot, shared with other establishmentsKid-friendliness: Patio seating“
“The best place to get coffee in Charleston. The coffee is obviously outstanding, but the atmosphere, retail (the coziest sweater I own is from Sightsee!), community events, and super kind owners and staff all make this a truly special place.“
“I finally got to try daps, I always want to try but always tend to go to my regular spots but today I really wanted a breakfast burrito so I sought out a new spot for me! I ordered online because I heard that it can get really busy and it was easy to do so, I went and picked it up at the counter. I ordered the classic breakfast burrito and it was really yummy, I will say I am more of a spicy breakfast burrito kind of person but this was savory and cheesy! They put a cheese sauce inside and it was yummy, the eggs were very fluffy and the onions and potatoes were yummy! I think if I had a hot sauce or something to put on top it would be a 10/10 for me they give a green sauce on the side but it wasn't spicy. I still loved trying this place and I think next time I'll order a breakfast sandwich. Also their drinks looked so yummy. Definitely will be back for one of those.“
“We are tourist this week. We're tagging along on my husband's work trip. My daughter wanted an iced coffee. We came across the shop in our morning adventuring. We ordered an iced coffee make with almond milk and vanilla syrup. She would not stop going on how good her drink was! Thanks for thr great coffee!“
“The atmosphere was good. The staff was amazing. The food was good however it seems like their food has become very spicy. The seafood mac and cheese was not like it used to be.. I like it better before. Page's Okra Grill Please Stop changing the recipe of your entrees because people like it the way that it was.... Food is still good but just a bit spicy. Also you all need to expand there's always such a long wait and way too small on the inside.Parking: Need more parking areasKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“
“WOW!!! YUM! YUM! YUM! Not only does Wes and his crew make some OUTSTANDING food, but their service is top notch as well! I got in touch with Wes at Brown Dog Deli months ago to cater a 200 person conference and I am so glad I did!! Everyone LOVED the food and Wes was on time and delivered everything as promised! I fortunately had the chance to stop by the deli the day before my conference. I told Wes that after viewing their menu so many times online, I couldn't wait until Saturday! So, I went by (and the space itself is so cool......old metal lunchboxes hanging on the wall....old games......such nostalgia!) and ordered the Paradise Panini along with their fries. OH MY GOODNESS!!! So much food (enough for two meals, but I ate all of it at once!) and it was absolutely perfect!!! And those fries?!?! WOW!!! I'm just glad I don't know the calorie count on those! :0) I had the "Folly Beach Crunch Wrap" in my bag lunch at the conference and that was just as delicious! I was able to grab a spare "Rosemary's Baby Daddy" for later and AGAIN.......absolute perfection!! THANK YOU, Wes for working with me and making my conference lunch a success! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE open a Brown Dog Deli in Greenville, SC! I think it would be a HIT!“
“Wow just wow, everything about Hotel Bennett was incredible from the clean, updated, and spacious rooms to the vibing bars! Hotel staff were friendly and professional, every single staff member we encountered went above and beyond. This is a true 5 star hotel!Nearby activities: Carriage ride was walking distance away.Walkability: Located in the heart of Charleston. We walked everywhere during our stay.“
“Wonderful meal prior to our show! I had the clams with house made linguine and the pasta, buttery seasoned sauce was delish. My husband had a lamb meal and it was excellent. My daughter had a small plate as her meal and her girlfriend had a Cesar salad! Drinks were phenomenal and so was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and we even got a visit from the Maitre d! We will definitely be back.“
“Stepping into Neon Tiger is like stepping into a dream world. The vibe is so wonderous! It's almost like stepping into a relaxing vegan tron-like world. If I am having a bad day, all I have to do is go to Neon Tiger and it is instantly all better! The food is amazing! I have enjoyed all of the staples and the specials and I have tried every item I could. I absolutely love that I don't have to ask for no straw in my drink! I love all the decor! Even if you can't get a table here, sitting at the bar is a pleasure! The staff are so friendly and do a great job of juggling all their duties while giving awesome service! I should have left this updated review ages ago but sometimes words are hard to come by when a feeling is not fleeting. Below you will find my original review in 2020 right after Neon Tiger opened. I will never forget you Neon Tiger! You have definitely been a beacon of hope for animals and helped steer me in the right direction! Thank you!!Been looking for a vegan pepperoni pizza. Surpassed my expectations! Not only is it vegan but it's the best (NY style) pepperoni pizza I've ever had!!!“
“Sorbets + Cookies - Strawberry Lime Sorbet & Biscoff Almond Crunch were awesome and most popular.We came in November and it was very mellow, chill, no line and the young girl was nice & helpful.Dietary restrictions: Egg free, diary free, & gluten free options available.“
“The only issue was the parking. The inside is bigger than it looks from the outside. There inside and outside seating. The smoothie bowl had a different taste because of the natural ingredients. My order was incorrect, and I did not say anything because I was rushing. The staff was friendly. I would go back to try more items when I am not rushing. This place is definitely a gem.“
“Blind Tiger has always been one of my go-to spots in that area for lunch, or a weekend drink in the courtyard. The food is always consistently good, and the service never disappoints. The only downside, sigh, is that over the years the cheese curd portions went from "dang, how the heck can two people eat all this" to "hmmm, it costs more, but now it's a tiny side dish now, so get your own". Supply chain, inflation, who knows, but at least we all know that cryptocurrency will save us and make the cheese curd price inflation less impactful.“
“The best ice cream in Charleston!! We eat here once a week (at least) and it never misses. They constantly rotate the flavors so there’s always something new to try. Friendly staff and great vibes. Just be prepared to stand in lines, especially when the weather warms up.“
“This place is the definition of southern hospitality! As soon as my group walked in, every staff member greeted us and even complimented our outfits. They make fresh pastries every morning and even walked through their best seller items with us. They have a creme brûlée latte that is to die for! 18/10 great service, staff, and coffeeVegetarian options: Bagels and pastries!Dietary restrictions: Every single milk option. Almond, coconut, oat, etcParking: Tons of parkingKid-friendliness: Staff will be super friendly to kidsWheelchair accessibility: Ramps“
“Great beer with a solid Belgian backbone. Can sit and enjoy the slow rolling train while drinking great beer. Bartender was great at suggesting different beers to try. Definitely going back very soon. Several left to try. They also have to go beer. Try the BBA Grand National if you can get a bottle.“
“We've tried many Charleston breweries but hadn't made it to this one until today. Really cool atmosphere, different from your regular brewery. They also offer a wide selection of beverages including hard kombucha and wine so there's something for everyone. Food truck out front too for food. Would definitely recommend!“
“The Pour House is one of my favorites venues in the country! The sound and staff are on point. The atmosphere is fun and full of local artists both music and paint. 10 outta 10 I do recommend. Thank you Pour House for all that you do for us!“

“The atmosphere is the best part of the place. I had the smash burger , my wife ordered hot chicken, I should have got the chicken It was much better than my burger. They serve cocktails nice mimosas. The place seems a bit pricey though. The breakfast look top-tier. This wouldn't be my go-to spot if I was a local. It's right next to the suites so it has a touristy pricepoint. Cheesy grits were perfect though. That's a nice hush puppies too. It's well organized counter means you walk up to the counter, order , go sit and they bring it to you. It's fast thorough and the food was outstanding--a tad bit greasy but definitely tasty. I'm on vacation so I was very pleased I found this place, I'll be back for the chicken and waffles in the morning outstanding ice cream desert. Thanks Grit Counter.“
“I don’t go all the time because I don’t like spending money like that but I really like it here. I don’t love talking I just grab my tea give a nod and take a sip and give a thumbs up it’s an introverts dream. It’s never wrong so I never have to say anything.It’s nice to have somewhere so peaceful next to work. Makes me remember I’m human again or something.“
“Nautical Bowls came as a pop up booth at MUSC for a few days. I am so glad y’all came here! The nice lady at the booth was so informative about her explanation of what each part of the smoothie bowl was for a beginner like me. She talked to me for a bit and was so kind to me. My fiancé had just went into surgery, and I can’t stop thinking at how personable and sweet she was. It made this hard time a lot easier, and this smoothie bowl is delicious. I got the sunrise bowl. The blue majic coconut part is my absolute favorite. All the ingredients are very fresh. I will be visiting the booth again, and I can’t wait to try the brick and mortar location. Y’all are awesome!“
“So worth the trip out here on our way out of town. The biscoff stuffed french toast special was divine. Im huge griits fan and the make your own grits bowl was a hit. Tasty turkey bacon. Service was quick and friendly. Stop here. You will be happy“
“Trying out this place for the first time, and I am loving it! The beer is very flavorful and the atmosphere is chill. The coconut stout is amazing! It's not too loud, they have card games on the tables, and you can actually have a conversation without being drowned out by noise or music. Great place to unwind on a Friday night compared to many other bars or brew pubs!“
“Service was amazing and very nice building with neat decor. The food was AMAZING and I mean absolutely to die for. I got the cheeseburger with mac n cheese, tasted like someone's papa and grandma put their heart and souls in that food. Didn't have to wait a long time for the food but honestly even if you did, I would genuinely say absolutely worth it. Pricing was fair for everything. Ps if you get a salad go with the visagarette, it's life changing.“
“We sat at the bar. Took some time to be served a drink, but once we had the bartender's attention, the rest was great! We ordered 2 dozen raw oysters at Happy Hour price, a great value. Very fresh & served with 3 different sauces, as well as a bottle of yummy local hot sauce. Lovely place, very popular. All ages were welcome.“
“Love this brewery. I have wanted to come here for months after trying their beer in Charleston. Nice laid back vibe. They had a great sour beer and a slushy sour. They also have great merchandise to purchase (glasses/shirts/etc) They do not allow dogs.“
“I can’t say enough…food, service, drinks, atmosphere; it was all top notch without being “too much”. This was a nice relaxing, welcoming environment compared to some of the “upscale” dining we did previously on our trip. True farm to table with all food options. Service was the best I have had in a very long time and was better than most of the cities I have visited.“
“Having worked here for 5 years, I can easily say that I love this brewery. Thank you John, Jim, and Josh for bringing me on. Thank you Sandy and Dave for your mentorship. Thank you Khoi for the delicious beer. Thank you Mark for your wealth of world knowledge. This has definitely been a rewarding experience and my favorite place to ever work at. I love the atmosphere, the people, and the beer is great!“
“Thrilled with our experience at this Mt Pleasant coffee haven! The baristas go above and beyond with their warm, attentive service. We were visiting from out of town and found a local gem! The barista provided great recommendations for our iced coffees.“
“This was unexpected to have great sushi and a great brew but that’s exactly what happened. Enjoyed every second here! The interior taproom is small but keeps the space cozy and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff went out of their way to be hospitable and friendly the entire time during my visit. There’s a heated covered patio with more room for larger groups and there’s a killer roof top option with a fire pit. Was one of my favorite stops while visiting the area. Cheers!!“
“Delicious!!! I'm still thinking about the pork roll and cheese bagel that was the perfect size and flavors. I loved the iced chai latte with oat milk that accompanied my breakfast so well. The price was pretty good and the restaurant was very cute. I'd definitely come back!!“
