“My daughter and I had an amazing dinner last night! Our view was perfect and our server, John was honestly one of the very best servers we’ve ever had anywhere! I highly recommend this top notch restaurant. Request John if you want to be treated like royalty! We will be back for sure!“

“This restaurant is a wonderful place to go. Jen, our server, was so friendly and fun. She made you feel so welcome. The food was delicious. They play fun music while you’re enjoying your meal. Definitely put it on your list of places to go.“

“My girlfriends and I booked one of the 'Curated Chef Menus' for a bachelorette dinner recently and had an amazing experience! We had a group of 12 so I booked through their Event Manager and was given a few prix fixe menus to choose from. We went with the Red Sauce is for Lovers package - highly recommend!! The food was absolutely incredible, the portion sizes were great, and everyone left full & happy. My friends are still talking about the roasted cauliflower! And the dessert came out in the cutest little miniature espresso martini glasses. Definitely suggest going this route if you have a large group! Super seamless experience, and the service was great“

“We had a wonderful experience last night at Bearcat. We had a rare "date night" and chose to sit at the bar while electing for the chefs tasting menu. WOW. The food was incredible, the service top notch and attentive. The whole experience was refined - plating, presentation, and even little history lessons while being served - but it was never "poncy" or "snooty" - it felt like anyone could come in, have an INCREDIBLE meal, fun conversation, and become part of the Bearcat family. We'll definitely be back- the scallops dish and the pork belly dish will be menu items I dream of until we return! P S. don't sleep on the cocktails! Whether ordering from the thoughtfully designed menu or requesting something creative from the bar team's minds - you won't be disappointed!“

There’s just nothing like it—no restaurant can compete with the quality of food, prices, or service!!!! And…the ambiance…. Just WOW!!!!! The Select - Charleston“

“Holy crap, Red Palm’s food is fantastic. Service is top notch. Highly recommend . Definitely a must stop in Charleston“

“I found out about Southbound, through my job. I had to go do some work there, and found the owner and everyone there, super friendly. Most people at restaurants ignore working people while they are there. As my 42nd anniversary was quickly approaching, I decided to give this place a try. Some of my past picks, have not been the best. Southbound cleared EVERY hurdle I have about restaurants. From the moment we approached the restaurant, great service began! While coming thru the gate, the hostess yelled out, "HEY LARRY" and then said, "This must be your beautiful wife"! Like CHEERS, it felt great to go somewhere, "Where everybody knows your name" We were seated and got to view the open fire oven. I had dropped off 42 roses the week before for them to put on our table, for my wife. Tropical storm Debbie, and downtown flooding prevented us from going exactly on our anniversary. I was worried that store bought roses, would not last thru the weeklong delay, Joel assured me everything would be taken care of, and not to worry. As we were seated, there on the table, sat 42 roses. Fresh, and arranged with baby breath flowers included. I was told the young lady with the hostess had arranged them. They were gorgeous! They also had an anniversary card on the table from them, not something I had dropped off. The service was tremendous, the food indescribably outstanding! I have only had steak Tar Tar once before in my life, and was greatly afraid to try it again, as the first time was awful. It was superb! They take great pride in the presentation of their food products. I felt like I was in an episode of Master Chef. We had the steak, as well as the Sea bass, okra, corn, sweet potatoes, and the Caramel cake. Everything absolutely wonderful! This was a truly wonderful and memorable dining experience!! I would give 100 stars, and a Siskel and Ebert two thumbs up! There was only one thing I was disappointed about. No sweet tea! Were In Charleston SC, no sweet tea. Everything else totally made up for it though. The staff even had everyone present sign a menu, wishing us a happy anniversry1 I will most definatly go there again for a special occasion. Thanks to Andrew, Joel, and the entire staff, for making this night special!!“

“Great food and service. Chef was very accommodating to a food allergy with alternative prep and substitutions. Grace was a great server. Nice decor and design. Atmosphere was hip and comfortable without feeling uptight. Delicious craft cocktails.“

“Our food was delicious. If we visit again from Missouri we will definitely be coming back. Staff was friendly service was great“

“I am not one of those people who post my daily activity or what food I'm eating or rate the places I eat..until now.. I'm from New York so I've had my share of diner muffins.. I go out to breakfast 7 days a week x 365 days a year .. have had my morning meal in several South Carolina establishments..you get the picture. Sunrise Bistro recently hired a a baker, Maddy. I have had a blueberry, lemon, cranberry/orange and nutella/raspberry muffin..I can say without hesitation these are by far the best muffins I have ever had. Maddy is even going to indulge me with a bran muffin. THANK YOU SUNRISE BISTRO .. THANK YOU MADDY!!“

“Had the steak & cheese eggrolls, pulled pork nachos and pineapple passionfruit marg. All so good! Would def come back and recommend to others! 😁“

“You have found the gluten-free MECCA! Their entire menu is gluten free except a couple options, their fryers NEVER touch gluten, and the food is amazing. I don't mean good for being gluten-free - I mean incredible food all-around. We got the she crab soup, fried haddock sandwich, and shrimp and lobster pasta and it was all better than I can describe. I'm coming back tomorrow!“

“best drag show/brunch EVER! and our server Kahlil was amazing! 🤩“

“Great little cocktail bar. Wide variety of drinks. Very intimate feel for friends or a date. I had a passion fruit Paloma which was good but a tad in the sweet side. The bartenders aren’t super chatty but they’re also super busy making drinks due to the variety. Would definitely come back to try more on the menu!“

“the food and the staff are all amazing! thoroughly enjoyed it!!“

“Ella at the Thoroughbred Club was just lovely! She communicated clearly and kindly, making me feel welcome right from the start. Her attentiveness and warm demeanor truly enhanced my experience. I felt well taken care of the entire time. I genuinely enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend“

“I truly had a great experience this afternoon at lunch“

“An entertaining chef, creative and exceptionally well-executed cuisine, a pleasingly funky ambience, and the delight at watching a fine chef at work, which equals a terrific experience.“

“Had a great experience and stay… we enjoyed our time at the pool bar. Bartenders were very engaging and friendly.. great group and they make great drinks. Cozy and quaint.. just wish they played music around pool and not just on the bar side.“

“Great food and environment“

“Great customer service and great food!“

“Jenn was the best waitress I have ever had and I go to restaurants for fun. She was caring and was passionate! The buffalo Brussels sprouts were amazing and the shrimp Gnocchi was to die for!!! 10/10 would recommend and ask for Jenn!!!“

“Oak has a great reputation for Charleston's best steaks and sides, atmosphere and service. Dining in the heart of downtown Charleston is the crowning gem! Hands down, Charleston's best!“

“My favorite birthday cake is coconut. My daughter got me one of your 12 pound coconut cakes for my 70th birthday. Absolutely the best coconut cake I’ve ever had. Highly recommend !“

“Overall, we had a very positive experience. We were greeted warmly and our server Sophia(?) was an absolute delight. The bang bang shrimp and calamari were delicious and a generous portion. The burgers were great, shrimp po boy flavor was nice, although smaller shrimp may have made it easier to eat. The yard bird was phenomenal and the crab cake sandwich had a wonderful flavor profile. Sidewinder fries were a hit with everyone. The only negatives we experienced was the Cajun pasta was subpar with a bit of an odd flavoring to where my guest could not finish it and didn't want to take it home. The gluten free bun for one of the crab cake sandwiches was extremely dry and could not be eaten like a sandwich. A little butter and toasting may have helped, but there are better brand GF buns available than the one used. Will be returning for more!“

“Amazing food. Probably the best old fashioned I’ve had. Our server was awesome and so was the manager. My steak was over cooked and they insisted they get me a new one. The one they brought back out was probably the best steak I’ve had in Charleston. We will be back!“

“Shout out to Candice and team for a great event. The planning was easy and the staff was really great. It is hard to manage 200 for luncheon. I did it for many years and there are always little additions or changes the day of and this team handled it all with speed and grace. Events here will not be disappointed. It’s a well oiled machine. Thanks to all! David, Renee, Candice - everyone.“

“Our server was amazing, she was very attentive, friendly, and gave us recommendations for us during our travels to Charleston.

We got the brunch buffet and a mimosa and after 20% tip our bill was $200. For this price, the taste of the food could have been better. About 70% of the food was good, but the breakfast potatoes, egg bake, prime rib roast, and chicken apple sausage were all lacking. The roast and sausage were very dry and tough and the egg bake was flavorless and watery. The potatoes were lacking in flavor aside from drowning in rosemary. We had the crème brûlée and you can tell it had been sitting for a period of time as the Carmel used sugar crust was soggy, but the flavor was still delicious. The grits were also pretty bland in my opinion.

The bacon was amazing as well as the roasted pork shoulder. All of the pastries were delicious as well as the assorted jams. The individual pure maple syrup bottles were a nice and cute touch. They also had local honey comb which was delicious!

The restaurant itself is beautiful and the ambiance is 10/10!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Junction Kitchen, and I must say, it was an experience worth raving about. From their delectable Biscuits & Gravy with Sweet Tea Fried Chicken to their commendable commitment to inclusivity within the LGBTQ+ community, this establishment impressed me on multiple fronts. However, what truly stood out was their unparalleled customer service. Upon encountering a slight delay in preparing my order due to an issue with the gravy, the kitchen manager personally approached me to explain the situation. Not only did he offer alternative menu options to expedite my meal, but he also went above and beyond by ensuring I was comfortable during the brief wait. Despite my reassurance that there was no rush on my end, he generously provided pastries to enjoy while patiently waiting for my dish to be ready. It's rare to encounter such transparency and genuine concern for customer satisfaction in the restaurant industry. The Junction Kitchen exemplifies what true hospitality means, setting a standard that many others could learn from. As for the meal itself, it surpassed expectations. The Biscuits & Gravy paired with Sweet Tea Fried Chicken was a delightful combination of flavors and textures, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen staff. Despite the minor delay, the wait was inconsequential compared to the overall dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to The Junction Kitchen left a lasting impression, not only for its exceptional cuisine but also for its unwavering dedication to providing top-notch service to every patron. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend indulging in a meal at this gem of a restaurant.“
