30 Best Burger Restaurants in Charleston

“Such a great little joint to visit while in Charleston! Plays the best music! And awesome food and drinks!!!“

“What a perfect spot for some Saturday lunch!! Our waitress was the best! Emily took great care of us even though the place was super busy!“

“I love sitting at the bar having dinner and a drink. There is always someone to talk to and the staff are awesome people.“

“What an excellent place! We were in town for a big conference and unexpectedly decided to gather a smaller group of us (21!) for a dinner... only it was really hard to find a place to accommodate us all. Fuel came to the rescue. They were so kind and responsive, and they were able to put together a table for us all together on their outside patio. The food was AMAZING. (One in our crowd said it was her best meal in Charleston so far!) The service was outstanding. We loved our server, Paige. And the ambience was great. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Great food and fast service!!“

“Today was the first time I have ever been to this restaurant but being the burger snob that I am, I wanted to try something I had never had before. With only one location in Charleston, I had no clue how it would be - let me say this. DAMN! (Sorry) This burger was THE best I have ever tasted. The bread was so fresh, nice and warm, and the two thin pattys smashed together with cheese tasted like heaven between that bun! The burger was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. No kidding at all. This is by far the best of the best burgers in Charleston and in the country as far as I’m concerned. It was a wee bit pricey, but it’s a price I do not mind paying to get the quality and freshness that was delivered at Hugh Baby’s BBQ & Burger Shop. If my waistline would allow, I would probably go every day! Thank God for these smaller chains that actually care about good quality!“

“My daughter lives on Folly so every time we visit, we eat at Randall’s…best burger and fries on the island. His hours are the best too…open LATE so it’s the perfect place to stop otw home after a night out. And the Mac and cheese is outta this world!“

“Our group (30) had reservations for dinner today. The staff was waiting for us and immediately got us all seated and had our orders taken and into the kitchen for prepping. Service was quick and efficient, and WARM when brought to our tables. Salads were well prepared and on the tables as soon as we arrived. Jaden and her coworkers worked well together. The restaurant is clean and inviting...along with the staff. I highly recommend O'Charley's.“

“Walking into Fam’s Brewing Company feels less like stepping into a restaurant and more like stumbling into an alternate universe where pizza is a divine art form, wings are sculpted by angels, and fries are seasoned with pure joy. Let’s start with the wings: crispy, saucy perfection that made me briefly question whether I’ve ever actually eaten wings before. Then came the fries, golden little wands of happiness—somehow crunchy, salty, and addictively snackable all at once. But the pizza? Oh, the pizza. Calling it pizza almost feels insulting; this was a culinary delicacy that should be displayed in a museum, yet eaten with reckless abandon. Now, about the beer. We tried seven different brews—seven!—and each sip felt like floating on a cloud while an ’80s rock god softly played a ballad in the background, reminding you that life is good and beer can, in fact, be transcendent. Every pint had its own personality, but together they formed a tasting journey that made us forget about time, space, and calorie counts. And the atmosphere? Imagine your living room—but cozier, friendlier, and filled with people you didn’t know five minutes ago but somehow feel like you’ve known forever. It’s the kind of place where you can laugh too loud, eat too much, and still feel like you belong. Fam’s Brewing Company isn’t just a pizza and brewery joint—it’s an experience, a glorious collision of comfort food, craft beer, and pure Charleston hospitality. Would I go back? Let’s put it this way: if they’d let me move in, I’d already be unpacking my bags.“

“Joseph was the absolute best server my family and I have ever had.. he is sweet caring and always made sure we had everything we needed.. he went above and beyond.. he always had a smile on his face and never once treated us as anything but family.. we can't wait to come back to eat either him again.. we recommend Joseph to all of our family and friends.. thank you so much Joseph you are the BEST!!!“

“I feel as though checkers is almost a 5 star restaurant with there excellent cleanliness“

“It's a great place to hang out! The bartenders are on point and you can sing karaoke every Friday. I'll see you there.“

“Always a treat when I'm in town. Eating here for as long as I can remember with my nana who was born and raised on Sullivan's Island that's since passed. Had to stop in over the Thanksgiving weekend to get some of those rings and a shirt so I can always remember. Ah, the tears. I suggest stopping in to try if you like some good sweet tea and delicious onion rings. Thank you for your patience with going to look in the back twice. You people are amazing 🫶🏽“

“Pretty expensive but well cooked“

“First, this is an IHOP. No idea why another business is listed at this address. The management needs to do something about the smell. Near the door, it smelled of dirty mop water. Immediately killed the appetite. The restrooms are not great.BUT the staff are nice.The food: I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and hash browns. No idea if any of it is made from scratch but, before long, I forgot about the smell.“

“I may be bias because I used to drive for the Summerville location but this food is great. I love the cheese bread and 10" pizza, both are great for a lunch treat. The marinara sauce is hands down the best. Made in house and it shows in the taste.

Glad to see these guys are going strong!“

“It has been a while since I have had a decent experience at a McDonalds. The ghetto staff yelling and rude behavior was absent this time and that was beyond welcome. Keep it up and I will come more than a few times a year. I like the food but I DO NOT like or appreciate rude staff.“
