49 Best American Restaurants in Mount Pleasant

“Anniversary weekend trip to a family owned condo to find the A/C quit working sometime Saturday. Was able to get a technician out but he wouldn’t arrive till 6pm, reservations were at 815pm. Around 745pm I realized we weren’t going to make it. I called the Post House and they told me we see yall are celebrating an anniversary. When I confirmed they said don’t worry we will have a table for you whenever yall get here. We finally arrived at 845pm and they clearly saved a table for us during a busy Saturday. The cherry on top was an anniversary card signed by some of the staff. It was a special night with a lovely meal and excellent service. Well done Post House you now have become our favorite restaurant in South Carolina.“

“Another delicious meal drove from Conway to have a slamming burger 🍔 absolutely one of the best burgers around! You will not be disappointed!“

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

“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!“

“Great food and environment“

“My business partner and I had an incredible dining experience at Five Loaves Cafe in Summerville last night. As the owner of Forsh & Lofton Logistics LLC, I have a deep appreciation for businesses that prioritize atmosphere, attention to detail, and a 'white-glove' level of service—and Five Loaves delivered on all fronts. The dinner menu was exceptional, and the ambiance in the historic house provided the perfect sophisticated yet welcoming environment for our meeting. It’s clear the team here holds themselves to a high standard of excellence, from the kitchen to the front of house. Whether you're looking for a top-tier dinner spot or a professional setting for a business meal, this is a Lowcountry gem. We will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely delightful! I had the cod sandwich and sweet potato fries, it was the BEST fish sandwich I’ve ever had! My husband and children also loved their meals! $71 for 4 meals is NOT a bad price at all! 10/10 recommend!“

“We've driven by Burtons a thousand times and never stopped. Then we actually moved to Mt. Pleasant and live close to the restaurant. We have become regulars there.....food is delicious, staff is friendly and service is great. Whether you sit at the bar or bring your family to the table, everything is consistent and delicious!“

“The food and the atmosphere are equally perfect! WOW! 10 out of 10!👍🏽“

“Yummy food! And affordable.“

“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.“

“I threw a surprise birthday party with 30 guests. It was terrific. The upstairs had plenty of room and seating for everyone. The food was excellent with a great selection. Staff and bartenders were very friendly, accommodating and professional. My guest could mingle upstairs or go outside and listened to a very good band. I absolutely recommend having your next gathering here!“

“Bar food at its best! Fried pickles and grouper bites were excellent, as were the sliders. Wonderful, friendly service....even when we made a mess🤦🏼‍♀. Atmosphere was laid back, with large screen tvs with different sporting events in progress. They also have outside dining available that is welcoming to those hanging out with their dogs!🐕 💜“

“Love my workout classes and pool when open“

“We had lunch at the Square Onion today, we loved our turkey sandwiches made with Brie, so tasty, with the most fabulous bread. Very friendly, professional staff. Next time we are in town, lunch at the Square Onion. Carole, Bluffton, S.C.“

“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!!“

“What wonderful sports bar to have food and drinks. The service was top tier. The wings are amazing. The garlic parmesan was on point. I am still thinking about those delicious wings. Nothing like have a cold beer and eating wings.I highly recommend to stop on in and give this restaurant a try. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for the great experience.“

“Great food! And the atmosphere is outstanding, overlooking the Wando river. Outdoor seating is especially nice and there’s a play area for kids. Highly recommend.“

“Metto coffee and pastries are excellent.“

“The people here (all levels) are so welcoming. It is competitive but not at all an environment that leaves you not wanting to return. The staff, and the owners always make you feel special with their warm welcomes. The PB pros with often randomly jump in to play with the members- beginners included!
It was not until starting group classes at this location that I actually saw improvement in my game. They are very small which allows the coaches to really provide the proper attention to each student and different learning styles. This sets people up for success without having to invest in privates if you can’t afford them.
Lastly- if you have children- they have activities (an arcade) that entertain them while you play. A god send. lol“

“Food is always so good!! Service is even better!“

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

“Was an amazing dinner outside dining with great views ! Service was superb ! Upstairs bar was an amazing atmosphere with a great bartender and amazing service! 5 outta 5 stars for me !!“

“Anniversary Dinner. Great food (Snapper Salad, Skirt Steak, Pompano). Service was excellent and pleasant atmosphere. A pleasant surprise. We had never been here.“

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

“Arrived in town 6/28 and leaving 7/4. We've been here every night for dinner. Great Sports Pub vibe! Good food and a great staff. I normally don't do reviews but two people stood out to me, Rob and Elena. They both were there every single day we went in. Elena was holding down the food and Rob managing the Pub. I didn't get to know the other staff's names but these two I can't say enough about. They are the reason we came back. I know one thing, they both deserve a day off! They both worked really hard to keep this Pub rocking! Thanks again and hope to see you soon.“

“Great food and great service!“

“I came in last Tuesday and had such a lovely experience. Kelly went above and beyond as a server and was such a beautiful soul. She recommended the rotisserie chicken which of course did not disappoint and was so attentive. The tzatziki was mouth watering and the Mac and cheese felt like heaven. I don’t have enough kind words in my vocabulary to say how wonderful the service was, specifically kelly. I wasn’t going to get dessert but kelly hyped it up so much that I could not resist getting it. She needs to be given a raise or something cause my dining experience was 1000000/10. I will be coming back all the time for the food but also for the service!“

“Our food was amazing! The ladies working last night were the best! They were kind and helpful! You can't beat friendly employees!“

“O’Brion’s has the best fish’n’chips I’ve ever tasted, as well as a killer bacon cheeseburger and French onion soup. If I had one criticism is that whenever I go they seem out of Guinness. But Jameson’s whiskey is a suitable alternative.“

“We have been visiting the southern for over a decade, and it remains one of the last few great Mt P dives with an excellent kitchen. The staff has always been amazing and attentive, even when things get a little wild late night. The fresh squeezed grapefruit and orange drinks are some of the cheapest in town, and they make one of the best cheesesteaks in the area. Highly recommend a visit if you like unpretentious spots with that local vibe. It looks like the business is being targeted by trolls who have never visited, but we can clearly say you should trust the locals. I have never been uncomfortable in there, but don’t walk in expecting a Hall’s experience. It’s a bar first, just with good food options.“

“Awesome !!! We always get a ham for the holidays, and they never disappoint.“

“We had a younger gentleman waiting on our party of 9 outside on the deck. I can’t Find his name but he was amazing, he called down smokers right away. Was prompt with my drinks, my family’s food was delicious my food was extremely tasty. I was very please from appetizer’s to desserts. He was great! Love the location but this 24 year old gentleman’s service will have me coming back! Food, atmosphere, and drinks 10/10! — His new bestie in the red!“

“Enjoyable atmosphere. Food & service was excellent! The Beet salad with sautéed local shrimp was tasty and the fried pickles & okra was delicious! Our server was great, he was fun and friendly! Definitely love that this place is dog friendly, even at the bar area! See comments for photos from our experience!“

“I was in the area for a business trip and actually came here twice to pick up breakfast. Both times I placed my order online, and it was ready at the specified time. Everything was so fresh, and so so delicious! The million dollar bacon is always a hit!
Great customer service as well.“

“my first time was a pleasant greeting ☺ from Philadelphia Pa.“

“Manhattans is a great place to have a drink with friends, Friday karaoke nights are a blast and they have a great billiards setup. It doesn’t matter what problems there are in the world, you can always count on Manhattans for a great time!“

“I’m a pretty particular person when it comes to restaurants and this was the first time trying this particular location. I had the Salmon with a loaded baked potato with a Caesar side salad. My husband had the pork chops with the house salad - everything was fresh, flavorful and even smelled good! Our server, Ethan, was a fabulous server and very friendly. He really completed a great meal out.“

“I hadn't eaten here in 20 years but the fries and gravy tasted just like they did back then. My crab cakes and red rice were equally delicious. The food could have been a bit warmer but it was still great. Our server was great too but I can't remember his name. Can't match the view either.“

“Delicious food! We came two days in a row on our vacation to Charleston! Would definitely come back!“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“
