“Dinner was very good & everyone was so very nice. Had reservations & they seated us at 5. It was Mothers Day& graduation week so they were really busy BUT no one made us feel rushed. We will definitely come back..“

“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!“

“DOPE very well thought out menu, top notch ingredients, top to bottom an amazing experience. 10/10 wait in line it's worth it“

“We enjoyed oysters, yellowfin tuna, clam chowder, steak and the fish basket plus some delicious drinks! Service was amazing as well as the entire experience. Highly recommend!“

“Simply perfection! The oyster selection is otherworldly. The chargrilled oysters the best Ive had in my life. (Florida born an culinary chef.) The peel & eat shrimp so plump and served ice cold I have craved them since I had them. The service was above and beyond. The atmosphere encouraged private chatter but also conversation with next table easily. Friendly and cheerful and above all excellent food served with smiles, suggestions, and ease. I will never visit Charleston again without making sure to dine here. (Do not eat the soup. I actually sent it back to the kitchen. Never have I had to do that. ) Highly recommend again and again for everything else.“

“It was our first time to M&F. The atmosphere was classy but not stuffy. The steak options covered a wide-ish range of options and price ranges... nothing out of range. I preferred the KC-strip, but others had ribeye options that were just as delicious.

The wine options were good. Many high-end wines, but the sommelier was able to keep us within a reasonable price point (ask for sommelier if you think the prices are too high for your palette. They were able to keep us from selling a limb) .

The sides were rich and authentic.

The cocktails were original, and the desert and espresso were spot on... just the right amount of caffeine and just enough desert to leave some behind.

We'll be back.“

“When you find a fine Cajun restaurant with a standout muffuletta, "Laissez les bon temps rouller!!"“

“My husband and I sat at the bar and were pleasantly surprised by the cocktail engineers helping us navigate our lunch. We started with drinks and an order of calamari; prices seemed high, but we are always willing to pay for superb experiences, after all, this is our first time in Charleston, thus our first time at Bar167. The place was packed; everyone was chatting with one another, along with the friendly staff. Between my husband and I, and the new friends we made, I think every cocktail on the specialty menu was made and sampled. The cocktail engineers were knowledgeable, attentive, and welcomed all the questions (no matter how dumb they were). We had the crab roll and the fish sandwich – did not disappoint! CAN I JUST TELL YOU, the damn Tzatziki Drink was unexpectedly amazballs.
This was a great place, if we are ever in the area again, we will be there“

“Some gal pals and I went here the other month and from start to finish it was an absolute delight. As a seasoned veteran of sampling culinary delights I have got to admit it was one of the best meals and experiences of my days. Absolutely no notes.“

“Reviews are all over the place. We walked past on day one of our trip and thought the decor was really cool. The gal at the door was so nice and that made us want to go back. We just wanted a light snack and cocktails so we sat at the bar. It too entirely too long to get a drink. I mean to tell you we almost got up and left. It was not well run or organized at all. The manger was useless and the 1-2 bartenders were really not that busy. It was disappointing. we did like the tacos and our cocktails were inventive. Although they did not have fresh cut cucumbers for my gin and tonic. They subbed in cucumber juice, which is just not the same. The ceiling artwork and other wall art is really worth a look.“

“Delicious food, great service and nice ambience! Scallops were amazing! A hidden gem.“

“All of our food was delicious! We enjoyed the chicken and waffles, crab cakes and fried shrimp. Everything was so fresh and the coconut cake was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“We visited Halls Chophouse for our first anniversary dinner last night. We were greeted by Billy and his staff with open arms! The service combined with the amazing food and atmosphere was a 5 ⭐️ experience. We are already planning our next visit!“

“my wife and I come to IHOP twice a year , we always look forward to eating at long island cafe, good food, good service ,good atmosphere, good location, my wife talks about key lime pie , all the way on our trip from the upstate, see yall soon“

“Sat at the bar during lunch with Red, she was amazing and attentive. I really enjoyed it.“

“Great place to stop and have a drink or two with great seafood!“

“Best restaurant in Charleston! It really is a must!“

“Came from Summerville to try this place out. Just based on the customer service alone I'll absolutely make the trip back downtown.
Gary was so nice and helpful. Talked about the menu to us, took his time since he knew it was our 1st time there. He was the best 👌! The food was really good as well. I had gone to another establishment days earlier for a Philly and ended up leaving before we got our food due to the horrible service and getting a rock in our appetizer that we were told they would take off half... ended up not paying anything which was the only positive thing that happened there, anyways, I being in the FnB industry greatly appreciate how things are ran at Danny's. Can't wait for an excuse to drive downtown for another Philly.
Thank you so much for the great food and excellent service!“

“Yesterday treated my parents to what they both said was the best restaurant meals they have enjoyed in the wider Charleston area - soft shell crab and grilled seafood trio in many attempts. Outside on the patio with an incredibly gracious and attentive server (Kathy Lynn? - a recent transfer from Phoenix) made the experience all the more remarkable. We’ll be back and as this review attests - will recommend to others. Thanks for your successful efforts.“

“Group of 7 with 2 birthdays, and we were greeted with a complementary round of mini frozen painkiller shooters! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us through the menu, she clearly enjoys her job!! I ordered the Wreckfish special; incredible! Others in our group loved their meals as well. We will certainly return on our next visit.“

“We ate here yesterday after spending some time at the beach. The staff welcomed us and our pooches with enthusiasm and we found the food to be wonderful. We'll be back here for sure.“

“Alex was just as superb as the food. Recommend this restaurant without a doubt!“

“Sure! Here’s a polished and more engaging version of your review:

Absolutely fantastic spot!
The food was incredible—especially the fish, which was perfectly fried to golden, crispy perfection. The rice, surprisingly, ended up being one of the standout highlights of the meal. And the price? Unbeatable. It’s a refreshing change from the sometimes outrageous restaurant bills you find elsewhere. A perfect hidden gem worth every penny.“

“Our server was great (Jayden!) and Kory was wonderful too! Quick service, great food, and servers that went out of their way! Five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“We have dined at Easterby’s for as long as I remember. They never disappoint. The food is the best in town, reasonably priced, the service is impeccable, and it’s a family friendly restaurant. Chuck is the most amazing guy! He is good at what he does, he pays attention , never an empty drink, always keeps up with the customers tables, and is always smiling. Out of the 20 years I’ve been dining there, 15 of those have always been with him . The staff is just so welcoming, it’s definitely a laid back atmosphere. I highly encourage everyone to go hang out and get some good food with some of the best people in town!!“

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Mexican restaurant that truly offers authentic cuisine, and I must say, it was a remarkable experience. I started with the Tlayudas, which were incredibly delicious and a delightful departure from the ordinary; they are quite large, reminiscent of a pizza. Additionally, I ordered the charola de marisco, which was nothing short of amazing, featuring a variety of seafood that was 100% delicious. The service was exceptional as well; the waitress was not only attentive but also very friendly. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for genuine Mexican food in Charleston.“

“From the appetizer to the main dishes, the food was incredible and reasonably priced. A wonderful dining experience!“
