“We come here weekly and have never been disappointed! We sit at the bar and watch the kitchen..,a well oiled machine for sure. Tonight we watched Nico, a plating artist, do some fantastic plating. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Wish I could give them 10 stars!!!!! So glad you are here!”
“My son came home from deployment and I just wanted to take him out to have a nice dinner before he left which was the following day. So I took him to this restaurant and everyone treated us so very very nice. I highly recommend this restaurant the ambience is also very nice, however the waiter the maître d’ the manager waitresses, they all made the experience for me and my son amazing. I cannot wait to come back and just relax and enjoy the jazz music that was playing.”
“Saw this new Italian restaurant on the front page of the Post & Courier today and gave it a try for lunch and definitely wasn’t disappointed. I went in google and did some quick reviews and looked over the lunch menu. The restaurant is only open on certain days and was glad to see that it was opened today and it recommended reservations which I’m glad that I did. I’m glad I did, because when we arrived, people were already there before us who had booked prior to us. Our server sat us down and brought us a carafe of cold water and menus. We didn’t wait long and we ordered. We ordered the Brussels salad and Calabria pasta dish with a glass of Chianti wine. Our order was out in less than 10 minutes. The food was fresh and delicious. The portions to us were just right. Our server came back several times to check on us. We wanted desert, but too full. Definitely will return. The place was about half full when we left. We’d like to try dinner for our next visit. The prices were reasonable.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“went today for my birthday lunch. my meal was fine except the macaroni and cheese was dry with little cheese. Banana pudding is really good. My son's flounder meal wasn't good. Daughter in-law seafood macaroni and cheese had 1 silver of crab meat and 3 shrimp and lacking cheese. They are giving the leftovers to their dog. $110 for 2 bad meals and one decent one. Nigel our waiter was attentive with a great personality. Can no longer recommend. Use to be a good place”
“Great lowcountry seafood. Especially love the grouper bites and the macaroni and cheese bites and the collard greens. It is a staple order for us. They have a to go pick up area if you would rather order to go”
“We travel to Italy often so we are very picky with Italian restaurants. We are always looking for the true authentic italian. We went for the 1st time last night. We got on waiting list and were seated within 15 minutes. Our server Danielle was top notch. Very knowledgeable, friendly and a true asset to the restaurant. They had a good choice of Italian wines. We enjoyed the fresh bread with the Burrata appetizer. We had 1 of the nightly dinner specials and the Veal. Needless to say we were so happy that our meals exceeded our expectations. Fresh, tasty and not americanized as most Italian restaurants sadly are. For dessert we had the Cannoli which did not disappoint. cena perfetta!! Grazie mille!”

“I’ve eaten in and have also ordered takeout. The food is always excellent and the service is very pleasant. I go as an individual customer quite often but today my daughter’s company, AHT, In North Charleston had their Christmas luncheon catered and everything was absolutely awesome and everyone that I know was well pleased with the food. It was mentioned but a manager that the restaurant staff was in the restaurant at 6:30 AM preparing the food all Homemade. I highly recommend this restaurant!”
“The bagel sandwiches are outstanding!! Jalapeño and the sesame are faves!! The chocolate velvet Chai was on point, biggest large we've ever seen! My daughter loved it!! The staff was very friendly too!!”
“5/7/2025. Have eaten many times. Food is always great. Service has always been great. Atmosphere is cool too. Small inside seating, small outside seating and a large bar area. Can get busy in the evenings, especially on the weekends. If you’re looking for great seafood in a casual environment, this is it!”
“The service and food were excellent today. Oscars rarely disappoints. My only issue is the surcharge for using a credit card. Now the menu prices were all high as most so I have to ask how cheesy for Oscars to embarrass this establishment by noting this increase on my receipt. Guys this is a premium dining establishment. Pinching more $ I think should we embarrassing to proprietor. Stop this! If you don't have your menu costed correctly that's your problem to figure out.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Not sure why this restaurant doesn't have a better review score other than maybe they are so busy offering a quality dining experience maybe they aren't actively begging for reviews like other establishments....refresshing really to not have reviews begged for. Restaurant has a cool, relaxed, yet elegant dining room, bar and outdoor patio. We loved the menu choices. I chose straight up spaghetti and meatballs. My husband chose Lasagne. We also had bread, Ceasars Salad and the most amazing strawberry cheese cake, on shortbread crust, with thin white chocolate coating and strawberry crumbs on top. Everything was just delicious. Pizzas came out and looked out of this world. Everything is made in house. They have a food manager checking food and handing to delivers. Servers have assistants to keep water filled, table clean. We felt pricing was fair for what we received. Will definately be back.”

“I eat here all the time. Tonight I ate at the bar. I ordered the fajitas with chicken, steak, shrimp, pulled pork & chorizo. I get this all the time, but it was different tonight. Better, much better. It even looked better. I told the bartender just how much I enjoyed the change”

It’s nice to see this young lady take pride in her work, have a wonderful attitude, and care about her customers! She made our visit enjoyable and we will definitely come back.”
“Very fresh and cooked Perfect! This is my first time here and I promise I’m going to be back many many more times. There were so many good looking things on the menu that we can’t wait to try. BTW if you’re heading up here ask for Michelle to be your waitress she is exceptional.”
“Tried a couple new things today at the Eggs Up Grill. Had Mimosa Flights with orange, cranberry, peach, strawberry lemonade drinks and my fav was the traditional orange mimosa. For breakfast, I couldn’t pass up the red white and bacon pancakes. Never had bacon in the batter before but it didn’t disappoint. Carol went healthier with the Avacado Toast with Eggs. Great food and drinks! Highly recommend this place in Knightsville!”
“Another fabulous dinner and my new favorite place to eat!! The chef spoils you, the food is out of this world fresh and delicious and the wait staff are extremely attentive and pleasant. This place makes you feel so welcome from start to finish. You will leave with food to enjoy at home. I can’t rave about this place enough!!!”
“I went in to fuji sushi with my friends the other night. I got a november roll and a california roll. My friend got some steak hibachi. The food was amazing as well as the drinks. I also love the music they had playing throughout the restaurant. Would highly recommend going if you are looking for sushi in the area.”
“Stopped in for a late lunch. First time eating at steel city pizza and was pleasantly surprised. Food was hot and fresh, service was great. Definitely worth going back.”
“This is one of our favorite places to visit, whether for a date night or evening out with the family. The food is amazing (especially the fries) and the drinks are second to none. Josh makes amazing drinks and Joe’s customer service is top notch. We will be back again and again.”

Takeout Restaurants
“We LOVE Baker’s BBQ!! The bbq and sides are incredible! We have 4 little ones and love the outdoor dining option. The kids love looking at the Koi Pond. Pro tip: call early on Thursday if you want ribs so claim them! They sometimes sell out & for a good reason too - they’re delicious!!”
“Sunrise bistro in Summerville off of old trolley Road has the best food. They also have the best service and the nicest folks in the business. Cinda is amazing. She’s always got a smile on her face and is always very prompt and never in too much of a hurry to find out what you really want to eat. She follows up after the meal is served to find out if you need anything else, but not to the point where you’ve got food in your mouth when she comes over to check on your satisfaction.”

Can get busy in the evenings, especially on the weekends. If you’re looking for great seafood in a casual environment, this is it!”
“As a customer I've never had the issues the other 2 customers mentioned. Fact is you can't be mad that a restaurant is sticking to their style of food, food that has brought them many satisfied customers. I've been here quite a few times & never had bad service or food. Always clean, their staff is respectful & courteous, & prices are reasonable.”
“This shop is absolutely the cutest and decorated for the season!! me and my sons loved the food and the chicken salad sandwich was the bomb!! Definitely a fun place to look at and play corn hole!! The two sweet ladies up front with curly and short hair were so welcoming and helpful!!”
“A perfect Friday evening! Wait was 45 minutes. No big deal. Grabbed some beers and found a spot at the outside bar. Do yourself a favor and get a Snafu Strawberry Squared Sour. My son LOVED the playground area. He’s 8 and there were several other kids of various ages all having a blast. We chatted with some friendly folks until our table was ready. Food was yummy. Watermelon salad, ceviche, pecan pork chop, shark filet with shrimp, and kids corn dogs. The ceviche and shrimp were our favorites. All in all we were there 2 hours and my son never once asked for an electronic. He was too busy playing. Highly recommend this neighborhood bar and restaurant for families.”
“Maya was amazing. We loved her!
Being from BR, we are excited to have this place. We already love both Nigel's locations. This was what I've been waiting for. He put his spin on NO favorites. The Signature Oysters were amazing! Boudin balls and crab dip were full of flavor. My husband loved the fried pork chops. Offer rice and gravy or mashed potatoes and gravy, please. The gumbo was flavorful and packed with chicken, shrimp, sausage, and crawfish- needed a little more liquid. Fried okra was fresh!
Get the Banana Bread Pudding! I don't even like bread pudding but this was out of this world! That caramel sauce was bomb! The beignets were delicious. Not authentic per se but fabulous all the same.
Nigel is a genius. I want that blackened catfish or shrimp ravioli next time.
Please add Crystal's or Louisiana hot sauce and some Tony's on the table. Even some sport peppers, if you want the trifecta of tabletop seasonings.”

“My first time eating here was back in 08 when I worked a couple of doors down. Then it became my lunch spot because there is so much to choose from. From then till now me & my family still enjoy eating here and always leave with a to go plate. Friendly staff, nice environment and alot of food.”
“Good food but poor customer service. There are two signs at the front, one for order here, the other for call a head orders. I called a head, after waiting in the line for 10 minutes, and being passed by employees multiple times with no acknowledgement. I asked for help and was told that the call a head line was not open. Then had to go to the back of the order here line to pick up two sandwiches that were already made and paid for sitting 15 feet from where I asked for help. They were cold by the time I got them.”
“New Year’s Day and what a joy! Alyssa was the epitome of a bartender. Spot on with taking my predilection for tastes and matching them perfectly to her signature cocktails. We enjoyed the meatballs, mushrooms, nachos, and chocolate fondue as meal for two. Excellent selection of bourbons! Stay awhile and soak up the atmosphere!”
“It's a great experience each Wednesday at Frothy Beard Off World in Summerville for Music Bingo! It is a pleasure to collaborate with Dani, Reagan, and the talented kitchen staff! They all facilitate a good time and smooth operations. ✨🎶🤘🏽”

“Waiter today was super fast and we were in and out on our way back to the other side of Summerville during our lunch break. Not often can you drive 15 minutes and get served sitting down and back to work before your lunch break ends. Shout out to her and the kitchen because it was pretty busy in there. I was pleased with the food and service today. Thank you!”
“Bad daddy’s is a great place to eat.. they have big portions and delicious food! Staff is so friendly and the drinks are perfect, when ya need em! Food comes out hot and promptly, everything is fresh and made to order! The deviled eggs are spot on! Salad portions are big and everything is customizable! Stop by with someone you love - you won’t regret it!!!”
“We normally love Palmetto Flats, but recently we had reservations, and they gave our table away right after confirming with us because the other party came in before us. That was low. They apologized, but we still felt very disappointed and disrespected. Perhaps they shouldn’t take reservations if they’re not going to honor them.”
“Sometimes it just takes some riding to discover an amazing thing....Hands down the BEST gyro I've ever had in my entire life...and I love gyros so I don't use the word best lightly...Amazing,friendly, the owners were the nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting in a long time....Show them some love! You will not be disappointed.”

“So today I was greeted by Ashley today. it was pretty busy since it was the Fan Fest every day. All week thing going on, she told me she would be right with me once she was done with helping someone else out which I replied "take your time, I have nowhere to go" she smiled and laughed at my little joke. Once she was done, she helped me out! I told her I've never been to this place and asked if she could help me what to get! she asked me if I was allergic to anything so she could let them know to change everything. I giggled and said nope. She smiled and said "Well ma'am my fav food here is a plain salad with carrots and green onions and ranch and a bit of spinach' I was a bit scared of trying something like that and told her and she told me "trust me, you might like it but if not I can make you a different salad" I said I'll give it a try! then asked her what her fav smoothie is so I could try that too, she smiled and said "my favorite is the blueberry bliss with non-fat yogurt' I got everything she liked so maybe when I come, I can get it again. once I get done paying for it, she told me that my stuff will be out shortly and ask me if I wanted any water while I waited for my smoothies since it was going to take time, and I said yes please, and she went to go sit at the bar so I could watch them make things. it was a bit messy, but she got the job done while I was waiting, she checked up on me here and there if I need any more water and I said no thank you dear, later on I finally got my drink and to be honest with you it was the BEST SMOOTHIE EVER! I was like girl! you're a dream worker! she said, " I do my best, is it too sweet or not sweet enough for you?" I replied to girl! I love it. once I got my food I was a bit scared of trying it but I was brave enough to do it and gave in, And at that point I was amazed by it and when it got slow asked if she ever tried apples with it and she replied " no, I'll try it next time and if you come back I'll tell you about it" The manger needs to give her a rise to be honest I don't know if she got one, but she needs one with all the stuff she does to make sure someone is happy about their food or smoothie! I can't wait to come back and get her again hopeful she's there!”
