“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!“

“Fantastic atmosphere. Saturday brunch with Beth, server as pleasant as con be. Highly recommend Shrimp and grits with Bloody Mary. A must when visiting Savannah.“

“The service was impeccable! Suzanne and I had one of the best experiences during our weekend in Charleston. Suzanne loved her Shrimp and Grits, and I opted for a Ribeye Sandwich. I'm glad I did as it was perfect. Suzanne's birthday brunch was enhanced by the live Gospel music lofting through the building. I could go on and on about our brunch it was that much of an experience.“

“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!“

“What an amazing place! Went without reservations..told them it was my 70th birthday! Got a great table for 2 in back dining room…food was amazing! Our waiter Brian was the best! When I was disappointed that the didn’t have an apple dessert I wanted he had someone go across the street to get me one with a candle on it! And Josh brought us a glass of champagne… they didn’t know us …just met us.. and treated us to make my night extra special! Try High Cotton you will love it! ( we had the Filet and crab cakes)“

“Big Shout Out to Tina our server today at Metro Diner ! She was Wonderful! She came right over with a beautiful smile and took our beverage order. We told her we knew what we wanted. She had no problem taking our food order. She even made a suggestion to my husband that saved him a few cents. She was a ray of Sunshine. She was very attentive. She checked on us several times. The food is great! The staff is great! Their cooks know what they are doing!! You can aee they all work as a team ! We have never had a bad meal there!!“

“D’Al’s never disappoints. Have been coming for the last decade and still remains our favorite pizza place in charleston. Addicted to the chauncinator“

“Good food, beautiful place“

“I would definitely recommend S.N.O.B. for the quality of their food only. My friends and I were there on March 24, 2025, during an unexpected cold snap. We're from Florida and the weather was cold, windy and brutal. The four of us were seated at a table that was almost smack dab in front of the entrance door. Thus, people were constantly coming in and out. The manager should have had enough forethought to not place a table there, let alone sit people there in low fifty degree weather and high winds. We just wanted to get our food and get out.“

“Quite a unique Chinese restaurant. Sechuan style spicy and tasty. Did I say spicy 🔥? Nice selection of dumplings, noodles, steak, chicken. Eclectic loud rock music, but not out of place. Loud music, loud food. I will note it was too hot for my wife. She didn't enjoy it the way I did. Nice, knowledgeable servers.“

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

“Best vegan desserts I’ve had“

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

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

“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!“

“This was our first time and will definitely not be our last. My father in law was in town and we came here and the experience was 12/10. The food was amazing, the drinks were beautiful and delicious and the staff was very kind and attentive.“

“Absolute hit! Every single sandwich was completely devoured.

e had an amazing lunch here. It’s a great, simple concept with a welcoming atmosphere and a super cool retro 80s and 90s vibe. You just seat yourself, order at the window, and they bring the food right out to you.
Our group tried a little bit of everything:
The Apple Butter Jeans sandwich was a huge hit.
Chipotle Chicken Pita absolutely crushed my expectations.
Pastrami Reuben was phenomenal (took a bite of my wife’s and man, it was delicious).
Cracker Barrel Club was excellent.
Sidewinder Fries were perfect—crisp, hot, and flawlessly seasoned.
Everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with great flavor. Service was incredibly polite and quick, too; we took our time and were still in and out in about 20 to 30 minutes. Serving sizes are great and the cost is very reasonable for the quality.
Highly recommend this spot. I honestly might return tomorrow just to try something else on the menu!“

“Amazing food, atmosphere and staff! Sushi and cocktails were phenomenal!“

“Yummy vegan options!, great service, and cute decor.“

“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.“

“Can't wait to visit! Looks amazing!“

“We visit Le Farfalle every time we visit Charleston, as it is a tradition for me and my son. We love the food and the atmosphere. We can’t wait to have many more trips together to enjoy there.“

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

“I stumbled upon this cafe when looking for a local coffee shop and absolutely loved the atmosphere. Even with a long line, my coffee came out quick. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that they only offered chai lattes pre-mixed with turmeric. I had a caramel latte instead and it was still flavorful and not too sweet.“

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

“Home team was a pleasure to work with! Great with responding and getting answers to me quickly, they arrived on time to cater a wedding I coordinated, set up on time, and the food was delicious! Extremely friendly and easy to work with staff who were very helpful! As a planner I appreciate a great catering team and they’ve got it! Highly recommend!“

“Best ice cream and waffle cone! 😊“

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

“Delicious coffee with attentive service. Will be back next time I’m in town!“

“The food was amazing the crystal was an amazing server prompt attentive ever though the whole restaurant was slammed 10 out of 10 would ear here again“

“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❤️❤️“

“Amazing food. Everything is homemade. My fiancé and I live an hour away and it is always worth the drive. Must try! We have loved everything we have tried. After developing a gluten intolerance I can still enjoy their delicious gluten free lasagna. Even their homemade breads are much easier to digest than anything else I have tried! Such a treat to get their food 🥰“

“😊Good food, and cool atmosphere. I only wish the bar seats were taller.“

“Quickly became my favorite place. I've enjoyed everything I've tried, but I keep going back to the Anna Roll.“

“Absoluetly phenominal tacos. Too many great options to try in one trip, so no doubt you'll be back. I grabbed 3 diffefent ones but the the firecracker shrimp and fried chicken ones absoluetly stand out and I wish i lived closer. Great service, friendly an attentive staff, and a clean, welcoming environment. Well worth the trip!“

“When you walk in, you can tell that this place is a local hangout. And that’s a good sign to me.
The service is friendly and helpful.
I tried the habanero pineapple drink. I was expecting it to be spicier. But I love spice so maybe it’s normal for y’all. I ordered tuna and bang bang, shrimp tacos, and pork belly ( current taco if it sells a daughter gets donated to a charity ), I was pleasantly surprised with my whole meal. It was excellent!
Love, the fact that they give back to charity. They also have trivia night I believe on Tuesdays. They also have taco Tuesday where they have a couple of varieties of their tacos for three dollars apiece.
I would gladly come back to this place and I sure will.“

“Hands down this place is a secret hidden gem in West Ashley. Stopped by for a quick lunch after taking my pup to Ackerman park. Great prices, great food and great service! Definitely was not disappointed and will be letting everyone I know about this amazing Greek restaurant!“

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

“Great beer & food! We bring all our visitors here!“

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