Restaurants in Charleston

“We always have a pleasant experience at this location! Great cookies, always very clean inside, and the employees are so polite! We always look forward to our next visit.”

“Always an 5 star experience!”

“Chicken Pad Thai is second to none !!!”

“We and my fiance were on our way to Cato Park and he recommended this place from when he and his West Virginia Paving crew stopped by after working on the road in front of the building. I got the gyro deluxe which comes with 2 sides, I chose the mashed potatoes and the pita bread with hummus. Everything was amazing! The best hummus I have ever had, I need a bucket to go next time 😆 everything tasted super fresh on my gyro, I don't even like tomato but I left it on because it was on point. The crew was super friendly, the owner made sure we were happy before he left for the day. Will definitely be back again!”

“My husband and I had Karubees for dinner. He had curry chicken and I had jerk chicken. The sides were cabbage, mac and cheese, and rice. Chicken so tender it fell off the bone and so very tasty. As you can see in the picture, I couldn't wait for my husband to shoot the pic before I had a bite. I love that her husband picks up all ingredients instead of having them shipped so they are always fresh. I highly recommend you give it a try if you like Jamaican food.”

“I LOVE Mea Cuppa. I have been going to them for years. My favorite go-to drink is the Velvet Elvis, but I’ve loved everything I’ve tried. Their coffee is so strong, but so smooth. It’s not bitter or acidic, which I love. It’s a good way to truly enjoy the flavor of coffee. I 100/10 recommend. It’s been a great little business here in Charleston. I love to frequent their west side location, and it’s always got a great atmosphere and very welcoming and kind staff. Definitely my favorite coffee place.”

“On our way Home to Michigan. Spending the night in Charleston WV stopped at Bowlesboys up the creek. Bar none the best BBQ Brisket and Ribs we have ever had, the sides were delicious, portions were big, prices reasonable. What a find can't say enough good things about them.”

“The food is delicious and presentation enticing, professional and lovely. The staff are very friendly, professional and engaging with the patrons. The menu isn’t large but there is something that will delight anyone’s tastes. The atmosphere is soft and inviting. It’s a hidden gem. One of my favorite restaurants in Charleston.”

“I stopped in with my father who visits this restaurant every time he passes through and they are open. They know his face and his usual order. It impressed me right from the start. The crew is great and the food is delicious phenomenal. I highly recommend their Meatball sub as I have never had better. The affordability is amazing. I cannot wait for a chance to go back and get more food. This restaurant is a MUST!”

“Our food is always hot, fresh, and fast. We ordered yesterday and had it in about 10 minutes, if that. I see negative reviews about the company but I’ve never had a bad experience here, even when we have a large party to seat and serve. Excellent service, the whole way through.”

“I want to give a shout out to Reb Lobster in Charleston.The food was so good but honestly the best part was the waitor Skyler(hope I spelled that right)This waitor was honestly the best I've ever had any where! Asked for our names and always called us by them while serving us.We never ran out of bisquits,drinks,etc and it was so nice having a waitor that interacted with the customers on this level!”

“Had a dinner there last night and was taken well care of! The server was excellent! The cook(s) did an excellent job! I appreciate the addition of mash potatoes back on the menu. Thank you for the serving of garlic butter as well! Loved my experience and will be back! Would recommend!

Had the salmon with mash potatoes and fried mozzarella! Salad of course! I totally enjoyed my dinner experience!! Much love to the staff and God Bless!”

“I have been very close friends with many Avengers throughout many cities here in WV and other states for over 35 years... I have been to several of their clubhouses in WV, OH, IL, IN and MI and have always been very welcomed and had a great time... I will be going back to the clubhouse in Mt Hope, WV October 16th for their annual Bridgeday Party and the clubhouse in Charleston, WV October 30th for their annual Halloween Party... I know they will be a great time and they are welcoming everyone to attend...”

You’re greeted with excellent live music upon entering, along with a fantastic food and drink selection to match whatever vibe you’re feeling. Management and staff are top tier.

It is so comfortable and inviting. I adore everything I have eaten here! The staff are also very accommodating to my special requests. Delicioso!

They were so sweet and welcoming, and the hostess had on the cutest boots!”

“This place had absolutely amazing cheeseburgers, staff and a welcoming atmosphere! We stopped here for a quick bite before taking our 12 year old son to a Jelly Roll concert and will definitely be back when we are back in the area.

“Good ice cream and friendly people”

“I realized I posted a review on google but not here! The transition from Vino’s to the Blvd Grill is honestly what downtown Charleston has needed for so many years. All of the staff are amazing but I do have to say since Billie has been there it is seriously THE PLACE to be downtown. You wanna eat? They got you. Wanna play pool? They have 2 diamond tables. Wanna play darts? They have FOUR boards. Not interested in playing anything? The whole bar area is open to just hang, whether it be at the bar, the several high top tables, or the few booths they have away from to games. Listen, I might be biased, but as a frequent flyer of downtown for many, many years, I assure you this is the atmosphere Charleston has needed. And something I didn’t mention in my google review is that they also have an upstairs area that can be rented out for private events!”

“I LOVE Mea Cuppa. I have been going to them for years. My favorite go-to drink is the Velvet Elvis, but I’ve loved everything I’ve tried. Their coffee is so strong, but so smooth. It’s not bitter or acidic, which I love. It’s a good way to truly enjoy the flavor of coffee. I 100/10 recommend. It’s been a great little business here in Charleston. I love to frequent their west side location, and it’s always got a great atmosphere and very welcoming and kind staff. Definitely my favorite coffee place.”

“I didn't try any food. My band the final seconds of suffering just play the show here and had a really good time. sound was really good. definitely a good experience”

“Food is always fresh and worth the drive, no matter where you’re coming from.”

“great, friendly and helpful staff. boar's head meats and cheeses can't be beat. my deli for life!❤️”

“I went there for the first time and tried the Island bliss and it was amazing! Will be coming back again in the future!”

“We were hosting a fundraiser for 150 people and knew we needed something special for our first year event. We found EXACTLY what we needed at Thyme After Time Southern Cuisine and Catering. It is truly southern comfort food at its finest! The buffet spread was delicious, but their prosciutto wrapped, asparagus, were so flavorful and the beef and sweet potato skewers were a show stopper! I highly recommend Thyme After Time for your next special occasion. Their staff was friendly professional and really worked hard to create an unforgettable dining experience.”

“I ordered the turtle brownies and shared with my neighbors/friends. Delicious, oh my goodness so fantastic! Highly recommend.”

If I ever travel that way again I will defiantly be stopping at that McDonald's, Thank you for making a bad situation good.”
