BJs is the GOAT. Fantastic service, steak grilled cheese was awesome, changed the TVs for us and even had a splinter kit for our guy to get some glass out of his finger. Will return.

Wish I could give 10 stars! The food was elevated but comfortable! I felt like a local as soon as I walked in with my group! Barkeep service and drinks spectacular. fyi if you go order the torch cooked bacon … something I didn’t know I needed in my life!

I leave home to have a good drink, hopefully a satisfying dinner and to relieve stress. What big John’s had was all of that and more! The staff was amazing and the experience behind the bar was as clear as day. Extremely excited to return and share my experience with my friends!

This is the world's okay-est restaurant. The food menu is basic and the food is extremely bland. The fries cost extra. The Miller Lite was the most expensive I've ever bought in Charleston.

Food was average at best. I actually cried after my first bite because I spent $16 on a cheese burger. Would not recommend unless you are dying of hunger.

We stopped by after walking the market, we were assisted by Casey and Walter who gave excellent alcohol- appetizer and entree recommendations. We love the Brussel sprouts, the short rib grilled cheese was beyond delicious- the espresso martini was fantastic and everything we enjoyed was amazing. The staff did above and beyond what is expected ! Thanks !! We will return

This place is a great spot for quality cocktails and creative bar food. It's a little pricey, but the product of your spending makes up for it. I would recommend this place for small groups and dates.Parking: Park on the street.
