“Stop by here during the trip to Charleston. The food was pretty good for the price but a bit greasy on all dishes. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was better great spot to catch a sporting event or game with great beer and good customer service.“
“WOW. The only reason to give this place less than 5 stars is to keep others from learning how good this place is. The BRISKET is the best we have found on the North / South Carolina cost. We can’t wait to try some of the other meats (if we can pass up the brisket). We will definitely be 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.“
“Was the rehearsal dinner foe my niece's wedding. Everything was spectacular. Highly recommend the low country boil.Parking: Downtown Charleston has a shortage of parking and Leon's is no exception. Small dedicated lot was full and limited space.Kid-friendliness: Kids attended and service was great.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Okay we stopped here driving home from our spring break because it was the closest to the highway and not expecting much and WOW! the moment that we pulled off the highway and saw the line we knew it was going to be good. When we saw the menu, we were very excited to see all of the specialty lattes and cold brew and ended up sampling just about everything that we could. We had a lovely cashier and the wait was worth it. My husband got a ham and cheese croissant. My son got a plain croissant and I opted for the French toast overnight oats! All wonderful“
“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.“
“I got in the Charleston the other day and try this place it is real good I kind of wanted to go to a place that wasn't real touristy. I had the shrimp and crawfish etouffee it was real good the cornbread was exceptionally good. The waitress was very helpful and very friendly great place will go again“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
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 stopped it for the first time after seeing high reviews on Google. I have very limited experience with Jamaican and Caribbean style food, but I've really enjoyed what I've had in the past and always like crepes, so I decided to try it out. I got the curried oxtail (my first time trying oxtail in general) and fried sweet plantains and was ELATED with my decision! The oxtail was so tender and incredibly seasoned, amazing flavor. From the first few bites, I started texting friends to rave about how delicious it was. (My photo was also after a few bites)The staff were also lovely and attentive. I happened to come in during a very slow period, but they struck a good balance of checking in and leaving me alone to enjoy my meal.Overall I was so happy with my meal and highly recommend it!“
“We had an excellent experience at Page’s! Everyone that works here is so friendly, and the food is fantastic. We had the Redneck Rolls which were unique and delicious - I would drive from Charlotte just to get these again. Also, for other southerners who are harsh tea critics, theirs is great!“
“Simple, counter order cafe with some seriously delicious food. The breakfast tacos were some of the best we’ve ever had, the burrito is great with the hot sauce, and the pancakes are a must (ask them to warm up the syrup though no one wants cold syrup). The menu is extensive and had tons of great options, it was hard for us to narrow down to three choices. Highly recommend!“
“Snafu has quickly become one of my favorite places to hang out, drink the best sours you'll find anywhere, and have fun with all the events and trucks they have visit. The staff is one of the biggest bonuses as is the brewery dog she is the sweetest. The rotation of sours is always bringing me back weekly if not more and the price for a crowler can't be beat. More pictures to come but for now I'll show off the food from the seol ahs truck they have about weekly“
“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.“
“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!!!“
“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!“
“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“
“What a great find! I researched breweries in the area before arriving, and somehow these good folks were not on my radar. We stopped in on a whim, and wow—this is a gem. If you like European styles (Belgian, English, etc.) you'll be right at home. Our bartender/hostess took outstanding care of us, and I really wish I'd asked her name. The regulars were fun as well, and we picked up some terrific local knowledge. Give 'em a visit!“
“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 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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Food is fresh and flavors are tantalizing. Service is friendly and cheerful. They have vegan options if that is your thing. They are wheelchair accessible. It's open air seating but it has covered area so one can still eat if there is Weatherby it's not terrible. Clean environment. Good ambiance music. The prices are reasonable.its close to the downtown area but not in the downtown area in a quiet neighborhood. I recommend this place“
“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!“
“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!!“
“I love the restaurant, but my review comes from a different perspective...Dashi catered our wedding with their paella party format. We had tapas for cocktail hour and the paella, salad, and a side for dinner. Our guests were raving about how good and unique the food was! I was also very impressed with how easy the team was to work with from initial contact, contract agreement, and service and clean up on the day of. Everything went so smoothly and we loved it! Thank you to Oscar & the team for being amazing!!Dietary restrictions: The customized to allow for vegan and dairy free options easily.“
“Delicious gyros! Traditional Greek recipes and ingredients. No lamb- and they took the time to explain why. In Greece lamb gyros are not traditional which I found interesting and insightful. That being said, they informed me they are known for pork…of course I ordered chicken before knowing. So I will just need to come back and get the pork soon ? the baklava was also perfectly flakey and just the right amount of sweetness. I like when there are still identifiable pieces of nuts in the layers and theirs certainly had some. Can’t wait to return.“
“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.“
“I was so happy to have stumbled across this place! The beer selection was fantastic, even having some from other breweries. Everything I tried was top notch and the atmosphere was fantastic with friendly service and even a stage outside. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town!“
“Nice little place. Thanks to Jane, they were open, despite planned being closed for the night. Beer was cold and refreshing. Great conversation with the young lady. Despite her only working there once per week, she's certainly knowledgeable about the bar and the beers.“
“The cocktails are fantastic. Whatever your preferred libation pleasure, they can make it or have a rendition of it that's probably better than your standard.The one food option (a Cuban when we were there) was great and a nice little bit of substance to the belly while we continued to order their well crafted drinks.Like others have said, they make quality cocktails efficiently.Definitely hit this spot. You will be glad you did.“
“I had the pleasure of stopping by there yesterday afternoon and it was awesome. Super friendly staff, great space (i didnt know about the huge warehouse area until I was about to leave) and the 4 different beers I tried were are very good and true to style. My only regret is not grabbing a 4 pack of the Black IPA to go! PRO TIP" Google Maps will get you almost there...its a blue building down behind a row of industrial buildings, across the street from two blokes :)“

Our server was knowledgeable, pleasant, and attentive. A local gem!Dietary restrictions: Server was very knowledgeable about Gluten free options.“
“We ate tacos and my mom wanted veggie tacos and I wanted chicken tacos and they totally mixed it up, my mom got a few chicken tacos and a few veggie tacos whereas I got a few chicken ones mixed in with veggie ones even though we weren’t sharing or anything.Kid-friendliness: They did not have a kids menu which was a but disappointing“
“I absolutely love every experience that I’ve had at vintage coffee in Mount Pleasant! The avocado toast is beyond incredible, sweet, salty, and definitely unique, it’s a masterpiece of flavor. Coupled with a great service that makes for a fantastic place to meet friends, family and clients. Awesome place to have coffee outside and enjoy the sunny weather..“

“This place is awesome! Friendly bartenders, great beers, I mean... who makes their own soda? These guys do. The nostalgia of the video game systems, the great space, it's a perfect mix. I've brought several friends here and will be coming here as regularly as possible.“
“Amazing place! I had the crab cake sandwich and my husband had the fried chicken . Both are so delicious ! And the key lime cheesecake is to die for !! Also the place is super cute and staff (Maria) is such a sweat heart and amazing service . Definitely recommend !“
“Tideland Brewing is easily my favorite brewery in Charleston! The first time we came here we planned to brewery hop and ended up staying all day!! The bartenders have become some of my favorite people over the years, the atmosphere is amazing, beers are all so great, and the food is phenomenal! Despite being counter service only, they work together so that you aren't waiting long to order! It is a great place to be, I couldn't ask for anything better!“
“I recently went to Famulari's for the first time. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had at any restaurant. We were immediately greeted and seated on a Frida night which was nice, but there were a lot of people in the restaurant. I have celiac disease so I can't have any food in contact with wheat, and I let my sweet server, Brittney, know. She want above and beyond to make sure my food wouldn't be contaminated and her manager even personally made my pizza. I had no issues after eating my pizza, not to mention it was delicious! Thank you Famulari's!!! I will be backDietary restrictions: They have gluten free crust and even went above and beyond to make sure my pizza was made separately from the regular dough pizzas“
