26 Best Burger Restaurants in Charleston

“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!“

“Yall, this place is an insanely good hidden gem. They have AMAZING food, that tastes like its made from scratch, is cooked as fast as any fast food place (they even have a drive thru) and they are also cheaper than pretty much ANY fast food chain. It's honestly mind boggling. But on top of all of this..the staff is so sweet and amazing and they really make you feel like your the most special. This place is my new favorite restaurant and I will be eating here over and over and over again! Thanks for being awesome yall, keep up the great work! <3“

“Food was great. I got a bacon cheddar burger with fries, lemon water. My friend got chicken wrap with onion rings. She complained about them being greasy but I thought they were okay. Food was good, just felt like it took a while for us to be waited on and even longer while for us to actually receive our food. Like it was good, but also felt it was warm not, hot like it had been ready for a while before being brought out to us. I asked for my burger to be well done, not burnt. They did a great job with my request. I'd return and try something else!“

“In search of quality shrimp and grits I stumbled upon this place. I saw it being recommended on Reddit for having such. I was almost discouraged from going here because of some of the reviews I read. After eating here I must say, I don’t know what these people were talking about. Food was high quality, service was great, and atmosphere was welcoming. Nothing bad to say from me. Give it a shot!“

“A wonderful meal and experience. Super hard working folks and amazing food. Great value for money as well.Best scotch egg I've had in a very long time. The Wayub hotdog (wag the dog, condor style) might be the best hotdog I've had - ever. If you get the fries, get them for the table.Cassidy was a brilliant, fun, and an amazing waitress. S-Tier all the way.“

“This place has a great dive bar feel while maintaining an upscale feel based on its location, food, and alcohol choices. Jason, the bartender was attentive and personable. The smash burger was phenomenal. The bread was toasted just right and the fries were amazing. Would recommend for anyone looking for a great burger!Edit: I'm leaving town today. I thought about my last meal in town and decided to come back here. The food was just as good as the first time and the bartender Jenna was awesome. Great vibes here!“

“My roommates and I got our nails done around the corner and when we were walking by, we decided to head in… Although they closed 15 minutes prior to us coming in, they were more than happy to serve us! They gave us a free box of donuts to try each flavor… I will definitely be back! everyone was so nice and welcoming. We are so excited to try it again!!! Everything was amazing and fresh ?“

“I started coming here when I was remodeling a house near by. I had the best fried pork chop I’ve ever had and we visited more often than not for lunch for the remainder of the project. Bar food has gone so down hill everywhere and every single time I go here it is just magical (bacon cheese fries with jalapeños tonight). We love seeing Amy but we had mike and Josie behind the bar tonight and we had such a stress relieving late night app, drink, and listened to some karaoke that had people dancing. My glass stayed full and we brought home amazing leftovers. I really think places like this need all the recognition. COME GET THE DANG PORK CHOP IT WILL BRING YOU BACK TO YOUR GRANDMOTHERS KITCHEN.“

“The scallops were cooked to perfection! The shrimp and grits was amazing! And our server was correct, the coconut cake was delicious! It was our first visit, but will not be our last! I can't wait to come again! Thank you for such a great date night!“

“They're the best. Hands down. Always get the cuban and Mac. Each time I come, they're open day or night with smiling faces ready to welcome the next customer. Hot, delicious food right off the flat top. Im surprised they're not slammed whenever I come! Just a cute hidden gem with great food and a nice dining table set outside! The picnic benches are so cute at night lit up by the fairy lights. This place is going to do big things! ♡ thank you randalls.“

“I got the smash burger, hand cut fries, tots and a cookies and cream shake. Everything was delicious. I forgot to request extra pickles but I didn’t need to because there were actually enough☺️The fries were incredible. I would go just for them alone.The service was lovely. I think some of the other reviews are a bit harsh. They can’t really do anything about the size of their restaurant. The soft serve is dairy free. And that’s what causes it to be icy. Again not in their control. I found the prices to be very reasonable. And they have Mr.Pibb. I’ll definitely go back.“

“Izzy was absolutely fabulous. She works tirelessly and sufficiently. Tristen Trethewey used chatgpt to write his review. The brisket nachos never fail to leave me full. What relationship does Ben have with his uncle? Peerless location. 10/10 would recommend“

“We went twice in a weekend, once for dinner, once for brunch. The food is fabulous, they let our dogs outside in their picnic area and brought a water bowl. The staff is great. $10 carafe of mimosas is a great deal for excellent mimosas!! Definitely a new favorite for our annual Charleston trips!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available!“

“Holy moley y'all. I'm so jealous of this idea. This place is literally next to Music Farm and close to a Sharehouse, Bodega, Charleston Music Hall, etc. Perfect lil spot to guarantee to sell out. I found this place on Yelp (duh) and it had 5 stars. Looked on Google and it also has 5 stars. So naturally we take a trip downtown, park a little ways away due to all the events, and walk right up to a literal window on the side of a building (walk up ordering). Service was friendly. They just sold out of the burgers (so we must go back again) but we got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries. Where has Tullys been all of my life? This chicken sandwich is so damn good. Im also somewhat of a fry snob and usually never go back to a place for the fries....but Tullys I will return for both the fries and the main course. Highly recommend if you want QUALITY fast food!! I woke up this morning thinking about the whole shebang. We knew this would happen so we have one in the fridge so I don't have to wait until they open at 5p!!“

“Best chicken wings in Charleston. I discovered this hidden gem back in September. Every Saturday they have wings as a special. I'm completely addicted to them. With these flavors to choose from: Lemon Pepper, Tradition Buffalo, Teriyaki, and Hot Honey Garlic. Wow they are so good.“

“Really glad I don’t own a restaurant in this city, some of these reviews are so hyper-critical and nitpicky.This place is awesome. As someone who is GF/DF, I can safely eat some of my favorite foods that are typically difficult to find allergen friendly.Have been numerous times, never disappoints. Staff are friendly, music is spot on, and the seating is charming.One of the staff even gave us a homemade, complimentary salsa on our way out.Will continue to go back and recommend this to my fellow locals who support local.“

“Our server Erica was very helpful in helping us make it to our appointment with time to spare! She was very friendly and professional. Great attitude and smile. We ate yummy food and had great service. The young girl at the front desk was very sweet as well!“

“Edit: the owners reached out to me and quickly resolved and apologized for the experience I had. If I’m in the area in the future, I will definitely visit again because of the way it was handled.Pricey! My salad was fine but oddly salty as were the chips, my toddler was the only one who would eat the chips. They made my latte and it was so badly burnt tasting. I asked them to remake it and she told me that I must be used to super sugary lattes which is why I didn’t like it. When I kind of fought her on it, she switched to telling me that the roast they use is pretty dark which explains the bad taste. Mind you, I love a good dark roast, I make lattes at home everyday and I can tell you, the bad coffee I had was not because it was missing sugar or because it was a dark roast.“

“Closed out a bachelorette trip with the piano show and it was incredible!! Definitely the best night of the trip. The staff, the entertainers, and the overall atmosphere of this place is unmatched. Shoutout to the Detroit performer, we can’t wait to come watch you again when we’re home!“

“We stayed locally for 5 days from out of town. I cannot express the hospitality the bartender gave us and the people who made me and my sister feel at home here. Atmosphere was amazing, food trucks amazing, service amazing. We live in the Midwest but will come back for the community. A must visit.“

“Great food, charming staff, and a most welcoming experience for this old man from Montgomery, Alabama. Still a great place, months later. Sadly, they have dropped from the menu am item that I looked Forward to whenever I visited Charleston; the Saturday special, chicken fried steak.Wheelchair accessibility: Well-placed ramps near the door“

“Excellent NY style pizza, by the pie or by the slice (I've not tried the Chicago style), excellent beer, excellent service, good for hanging out, watching football games, can handle some larger gatherings, etc. Really love this place. The outdoor area is so pretty at night with the string lights lit up.“

“This was seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. I felt like Remy from Ratatouille trying the cheese and the grape in combination for the first time. A-1 pickles, perfectly melted cheese, and sweet but classic onions makes this burger delectable.“

“Great food, great service... love the set-up. Sierra, not sure I spelled that correctly, took great care of us. Absolutely recommend the Fried Green Tomatoes!!! The burgers were also amazing!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp, on the left side of the outdoor deck area.“
