“Phenomenal food and atmosphere. Get the “dessert bread” appetizer if you come. Had the grouper on special and it was incredible“

“We went for lunch, there were so many great choices! We had the Pimento Cheese for an appetizer and it did not disappoint. My friend and I shared the Chicken Tenders and Classic Vegetarian plate full of great southern veggies. Delish! The atmosphere was inviting and the service was great. Definitely highly recommend!“

“Delicious meal & friendly staff“

“Get the ricotta gnocchi with the truffle service!“

“It was an unplanned visit to High Cotton. Our party was very underdressed. The hostess was quite pompous and gave the impression we should go elsewhere. Obviously if it was a planned dinner we would have been well dressed. The food was exceptional. The staff were incredible. But our waiter, Jamal, made our experience very memorable. He made sure we were welcome despite our attire. Jamal and my 11 year old grandson became good friends for the evening. Jamal was impressed with my grandson's order of a pot of mussels in garlic sauce, smoked duck, lobster mac and cheese and strawberry shortcake. Jamal was the highlight of our evening. Our family highly recommend you ask for Jamal if you visit High Cotton. The next visit we will look our finest and definitely ask for Jamal.“

“literally everything we had here tonight was fantastic. the calamari strips are some of the best calamari I have ever had. the drinks were wonderful.

“absolute best sushi and sashimi I've ever had“

“Can't wait to visit! Looks amazing!“

“Great food awesome atmosphere. Service was awesome. Ate at the bar and it was perfect“

“Bottom line up front: Amazing food and great atmosphere!

I’ve been fans of Kwei Fei since back in the days of their pop ups at The Daily. They’ve always brought the heat (literally) and have been eager to try this new venture, Beautiful South.

Stopped in for Sunday Brunch and it did not disappoint. The char siu fried rice had that familiar wok char and was on point! Also had the char siu bao, salt and pepper pork, and shumai. It brought back memories of dim sum in the Bay Area (big compliment) but without the old lady that gets mad when u don’t like what she has on her cart! ?

Wish I had taken pics, but honestly was too busy eating!“

“I have been Rancho Lewis several times before and have always enjoyed it. It was a nice place to be on a cold and rainy day. Our server was attentive and the food was very flavorful. We were a group of ladies chatting and reminiscing and catching up with one another. All of us exclaimed over the large portion sizes. My Christmas Burrito was so large that I was able to have it for dinner. I will definitely go back.“

“Renzo provided me with the BEST pizza I’ve ever had. Not just in Charleston, but from anywhere, ever. The flavor rollercoaster of the Mulberry Street pizza was a ride I didn’t want to end. So, I got another one to go. Also, they have homemade ranch. Excellent and attentive staff.“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere and unique drink options. Highly recommend.“

“amazing food amazing staff get the fried chicken“

“I’m a Texas gal living here in Charleston and I’m particular about my Tacos! Had some friends stay at an Airbnb across the street and it was convenient so I finally went. I’ve now been twice in less than a week. Everything is so fresh. Well flavored. Delicious. Cocktails are lovely. Staff was helpful and attentive both times. Casual, fun, and yummy for my tummy! Go!“

“One word for this restaurant's cuisine "DELICIOUS" and the customer service was "AMAZING". First time visiting Charleston, SC. I had the Bison, Sauteed Spinach w/ garlic and Mashed Potatoes. 😋 Recommended by my hotel, The Dewberry Charleston.“

“Besides the food quality being 1000000%, the owners/sandwich slingers are amazing at their craft and truly take the time and care to ensure an amazing feasting experience. From the food & drink selection all the way down to the playful names for each sandwich (and the hilarious art in the bathrooms) the total vibe is 💯 ❤️ 10/10 recommend. Support your local sandwich master!“

“Amazing food, cozy atmosphere and wonderful. friendly staff!! Highly recommend!!“

“The staff was amazing. It was our anniversary and the GM personally came to our table and poured us a glass of Champaign to celebrate. They also gave us a free dessert. The hostess, wait staff, and GM all took time to wish us a happy anniversary. The food was amazing as well! Overall it was a great dining experience!“

“First time visit recommended by nephew. Great food, great server and prompt service. Always try to be considerate in not overstaying our welcome when people are waiting to be seated. We finished our lunch having been there a total of one hour , enjoying talk with nephew who we hadn’t seen in months when another employee rudely and abruptly said “so, are you ready to settle up?” Never have we felt like we were being ejected from a restaurant! And the real rub is there were at least 3 empty tables and a booth in our seating area. We three were so stunned by her rude manners, we politely gave her our card, (and she took the liberty of pre-selecting a 22% tip which we gladly gave our server)paid our bill and left - NEVER TO RETURN!“

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

“I went into this after flying in from CA. I wasn’t sure what to expected given there aren’t that many vegan options in Charleston, but wow! This place was great! The staff were kind. The food had so many flavors packed into it. I couldn’t believe it! And the cocktails were really good.“

“Food was excellent! Our server was excellent as well. We will be back!“

“Best meal, service, and atmosphere we've had in Charleston! All our food was delicious, but the shrimp and grits was out of this world! Best decision we made was to eat there.“

“Their lunch menu is one sandwich (with meat) and four cold salads (2 of which are vegan). You can get a combo of two which is what I did. The quinoa was amazing, the black bean salad was just ok in my opinion. The ciabatta (which staff confirmed was vegan) was to DIE for. Great value and AC right off king st“

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

“I have no clue on who the owners are, but I can tell you that all of their food is made with Love ❤️. You can see it and you can taste it. Everything I have ever had has always been so delicious. This place is a Charleston Gem and I pray this little place continues to Thrive and Prosper. Charleston Loves You❤️❤️“

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!“

“Can’t rave about this place enough. We are visiting and were recommended we try Ma’am Saab. The service is top tier- both the GM & Owner introduced themselves to us. The lemonade, absolutely to die for. It’s fresh squeezed and homemade. The food was phenomenal. We got the wings, the zucchini, and butter chicken. 10/10!!!“

“Aaron was our server for the evening and was great. The food was fantastic, there was a hot debate at the table as to who had the best food. I need the hot chicken sandwich and was pleasantly impressed with the sweet heat of the sandwich. Will come back next time I am in town.“

“Amazing food and spectacular service from Kat! Highly recommend the pub burger and truffle fries. The tuna poke is excellent as well! You can’t miss this place when in Charleston!“

“Kayla B was a friendly as she was persuasive — how did we end up with that second round of cocktails?! — and make great recommendations about what paired best with the proteins we ordered. Easy to speak with, funny and laid back. The food was outstanding, as usual, which was even better on the patio in the late afternoon sun. A favorite for locals and“

“Had a great time taking my Sister for her Birthday for the 1st time. I have been there many times over the years. She was quite thrilled by the experience. The food was great! She thoroughly enjoyed her chocolate nitrotini, as did I. The wait staff was exceptional and we cannot wait to go again. Thanks Grill 225!!“

“Food is fairly priced, healthy options and looks great.“

“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!“

“I have been coming to Mex1 for about 10 years now. They have totally re-won our business by revamping the menu and food quality. The tacos are delicious and stuffed full, the variety of choices are better, and our experience the past 2-3 times going in person left us happy and our stomachs full. Highly recommend!“
