“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!“

“I posted I review some time ago about their chicken tenders, stating they have fallen short of their previous self. I am pushing 50 years old and have only ever posted 1 review in my life. This being the second. I am here to say, THEY ARE BACK! The new and improved tenders are so big, the breading just falls right off. The new GM/Head chef has surpassed the old!“

“I've been coming here for over a decade and usually go for the burger and wings (see original review below). Lately, I've been hooked on the Greek salad with blackened chicken. I asked one of the employees where they get the Greek dressing (Sysco or US Foods is what I was thinking). Come to find out, they make the dressing from scratch every week. Never thought I would write that my favorite Greek salad is in a pub...but there it is. I wonder if they could create Greek wings?Original review: Hands down best pub in Charleston. The burger is magical and the wings sublime. The hand cut fries (ask for them spicy) are the best in town.“

“Great spot with a very simple, limited menu. Reminds me of the old school diners / burger spots you see in movies.We ate there and the service was great, our food runner brought our tray out with a big smile and the food was displayed in a way to make it look its best. For example, the sandwiches are all half wrapped in paper with the other half sticking out. My fish sandwich has the largest part of the fish sticking out and overflowing out of the paper. The burgers are served the same way with the burger and cheese highlighted and facing the eater.The burgers are smashed style so very thin with a little crispiness in some bites which is a nice change of texture. The catfish was fried perfectly and was piping hot when served. We also had a hot dog which was overflowing with toppings and also pretty good. The fries were thin and nicely fried too. Overall a great meal and we'd go back for sure.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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.“

We sat outside and were met with great service.The menu had some amazing options, but i settled on the Hangover Burger and a Bloody Mary. I am typically not a fan of smash burgers, but this one was amazing!!!! The egg on it was over the top!!! Highly recommended!!! I added onion rings and was not disappointed!The bloody mary was great too, so we of course did another one!Overall a great experience! Highly recommended!“

“UPDATE: Salad is still amazing. Come here regularly now and it is always consistent and delicious!!Also love the crispy smashed potatoes.One of the best salads of my life. Greek salad add roasted chicken.Everything about this salad was perfect. The thought that went into the topping preparations shows in every bite.I loved the textures of each bite. Each topping was chopped at the perfect size and each topping was the perfect portion adding perfect amount of flavor to the salad, not overpowering anything. The chicken being chopped into the cubes allowed chicken to be in each bite. The pita bread! oh wow was it soft, and it was perfectly warm.I am not a dressing pourer kind of person, so the consistency of the dressing was so so nice for people like me who dip the bite. But I ended up just using the pita in the dressing for each bite.I usually went for it in a wrap with the bit chunks of feta in there but this salad was. so. good.I will continue to come here.Place is clean, friendly service, delicious food, quick service. It is a perfect lunch spot!Give it a go! And to the chef and team there keep up the wonderful work!!Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options, salads, wraps.Kid-friendliness: they have items for children as well.Parking: It can be tight depending on time of day but there is a side lot as well so it works out.Wheelchair accessibility: Tables have removeable chairs. The front door is wheelchair accessible. Plenty of room between tables as well.“
