Was in town for a day trip, grumpy goat did not disappoint! Food was epic & our server Laura was friendly, fast, and super nice 😊! Defiantly a nice atmosphere to dine at 😀

The food was fabulous, our server was friendly & efficient, and the outdoor dining area was comfortable. Our party of 4 enjoyed our meal very much!

Our party of three got seated at a corner booth for five, which gave us plenty of room. We ordered calamari as an appetizer, which was good. I ordered the parmesan encrusted mahi, which included mexi rice and sautéed zucchini and yellow squash, and everything was delicious. (I had this another time and liked it so much that I ordered it again, and it was just as delicious!) The other two got an assortment of tacos. I think they said the tacos were good, but not as tasty as last time. Throughout the evening, I tried (unsuccessfully) many times to get the attention of the server, but there was a constant influx of new customers; however, after our meals arrived, she was much more attentive. Overall, it was a nice and relaxing evening with tasty food. We'll definitely go again.

It took several minutes to be acknowledged when we walked into the door. After we were seated, the waitress took our appetizer order and did not return to the table until the appetizer was done and delivered. While waiting the server bussed the only other table that was occupied in her section after the family had left.

The calamari appetizer was not our favorite. It was a bit chewy, but paired well with the spicy marinara. We ordered 6 tacos which were all very good and a redemption to the whole experience. The goat cheese taco was surprisingly delicious. The Baja fish taco had a great balance with a bit of acidity and a fresh taste. The carnitas and chorizo potato were also excellent. We would go back, but would probably order the tacos as take-out next time.

You cannot beat the quality and the price of the food here. The staff are accommodating, fast, and pleasant. I had seafood tacos and my wife had ceviche. We absolutely loved it. Great margaritas, too.

The prices were reasonable, the service impeccable,the food was okay.My Jalepano peppers were burnt and tiny.But my Old Fashioned cocktail was great.The grumpy chips were okay the roasted chicken lack season but it made up for it with all the other topping on the chips.Over all it was good.I would definitely give them another try.

Parking: The location is on a corner lot there are very few parking spots.

Ownership and the people that work there seem to be good; however, the place consistently smells like a college fraternity used the bathroom in your mouth. And I’m not talking about just one person, I’m talking about the whole pledge class. I have no idea how anyone can sit in that environment, let alone eat food. Unfortunately, this is not a one off.

We were actually planning to go to dinner somewhere else and well, plans change. We are so glad they did because we never would have found this place otherwise! Food was A-MAZING! Best seared tuna you can find in Charleston...possibly anywhere. Service was excellent. I only marked down on the atmosphere due to the bathroom situation. I'm sure it had more to do with the clientele than the staff but the restroom needs some TLC. Other than that, it was our favorite restaurant stop on our vacation.
