34 Best Burger Restaurants in Charleston

“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!“

“Came here about 10 minutes before closing to ask if they were still open - the gentleman in the window could not have been kinder when he said “yes of course.” They do not skimp on fries or salt and the remoulade-like sauce that comes with a burger and fries is delicious. The single patty burger is more than filling. Absolutely positively will be making this a late night spot as long as they’re open. 10/10.“

“Amazing food and friendly staff!“

“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!“

“We enjoyed this hidden gem. No idea it was here! We enjoyed dinner and who knew we’ve been missing out on ice cream for 5 months. Great tacos, chips and salsa/queso.“

“Visiting before moving to Charleston and figured I'd try this place out. They recommended the Cuban or the burger. Went with the Cuban since it was the first thing he mentioned and it was definitely a great choice. Tasted amazing and was a large portion! Cool little spot on the side of the road and definitely worth your time!“

“This is similar to Applebee's with that local bar and grill atmosphere. The selections on the menu aren't bad either. The prices are very much reasonable and right in line with a budget. The service was very nice and friendly. Parking is good.

Parking: Parking is very close to the restaurant.“

“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 🫶🏽“

“Absolutely the best calzone, Stromboli, and pizza!! When they say build your own they mean build your own. Great prices and staff!! Their California burger with avocado is absolutely amazing and they also have exquisite wraps!! If you haven't been here yet you need to make your way here!! It's very welcome to friends families and has a wonderful outside bar with cornhole!!“

“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.“

“good prices. excellent staff. good atmosphere“

“I frequent this McDonald’s often and it’s definitely the best that I have ever visited. They always get my order correct, the Staff is great and I always have Napkins and Ketchup in the bag without ever asking for it which is fantastic. In the mornings we stop by for McGriddles which are simply delicious. I only wish they had hot McCafe Lattes but overall my experience has always been positive. The staff works very quickly and serves customers in a time manner. Kudos to the team!“

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

“Joseph was awesome! Bar was super slow even though restaurant wasn't even 1/3 full. But Joesph was exceptionally personable and accommodating. Thank you, Joseph!! He is a credit to the establishment. The bartender on duty needs to improve on speed of service. Drinks were good but waiting 15+ minutes when the place is not busy is unacceptable.“

“I only went through the drive thru for a Coke, because they have the best fountain coke around (most days). This is one of the few McDonald's I will go to, food is usually hot and fresh, service is quick and friendly. Even when the drive thru line is long it can move at a decent pace, but occasionally difficult people will clog it up. The inside is bright and seems clean, but I rarely sit down to really observe.“

“By far the best McDonald's experience I have had. SUPER friendly service. Quick both inside and through the drive-thru. Food was hot and fresh. I got the wrong thing solely through my own fault and they fixed it anyway. That's service!“
