“Always a pleasure to visit Beautiful South. The staff is all friendly, attentive, and accommodating. And the space is inviting and alive. The dining area has a more cozy section with booths and a buzzier section with small tables, but we always enjoy the spaceous bar, where Johnathan and Gabriel make excellent drinks (on and off menu) and are genuinely hospitable fellas. All of the food is cooked with care, good luck trying to decide what to eat without doing a complete tour de force of the menu. Beef dumplings are extremely flavorful, don't be scared of the rose water - it's just a hint but a unique and memorable one. The green beans are good enough to eat a popcorn bucket full. And the Hunan chicken is unctuous and saucy and just delicious. Did I mention there is plenty of convenient parking? What more do you want?“

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

“Food was great, service was Awesome, Whitney is the best“

“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.“

“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!“

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!“

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!“

“Harken was a great experience. The staff was friendly and enjoyed interacting with our baby daughter, which brought smiles all around. We had a delicious vanilla latte and an amazing fresh chocolate chip cookie. The ambiance was pleasant, with seating available inside and outside. Overall, I highly recommend Harken.“

“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!“

“Thank you for having Charleston Society of Horror yesterday for our monthly meeting! We had a wonderful time. The food was great, service was even better and we will be back.“

“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.“

“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❤️❤️“

“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!!!“

“Very good food and friendly staff.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I’m new to Charleston from New York. So I know food and beverage and atmosphere. East Bay Bier Garden is sensational! Furthermore, they respect veterans fire police and first responders and give us a discount. Very nice and patriotic.
It’s a far cry from the 1960s when Soldiers - Like Police - were pigs!
How times have changed.
God Bless America 🇺🇸

PS great chicken Cesare Salad
And Alana bartender and her manager Mike - terrific! 😊“

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

“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“

“Second time there visiting Charleston. We love the margs and service!“

“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!“

“Chicken piccata was amazing. Our server Dominick is a true professional. Our experience was terrific. Compliments to the chef🫶“

“Wonderful fine dining - great atmosphere and some of the best food ever.“

“First timing eating here last night. Amazing food, service, etc!“
