“Amazing food and drinks! Stopped while passing through and highly recommend. Delicious!”
“I ate an early dinner 10/3rd at 5:00pm. My server, Wendy, was excellent! She was attentive without hovering. I was torn between three choices and she helped me decide which of the three I should eat. The dish was excellent and just the right choice for me. I thought the caesar salad was fresh and delicious but had too much dressing for me. I would order it on the side next time. If you visit this restaurant, ask to be seated in Wendy's section!”
“Jose was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. He anticipated our needs, made excellent recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our meal. His professionalism, positive attitude, and attention to detail made our dining experience exceptional. It’s rare to receive service this good, and Jose truly went above and beyond. We will definitely be back and hope to have Jose as our server again. Highly recommend!”
“The food and the service were exceptional. Had braised pork last time and it was 10/10. Got the spicy fish this time!”

“Why Are Yall Sleeping On The Best Habatchi in town? The sushi here is phenomenal but that filet mignon steak is out of this world. We have always gotten the very best chiefs and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Well worth the drive.”

“It deserves 10 Stars!! I can't say enough about this place. At first glance, it's just a little hole in the wall restaurant. BUT, after just looking at what to order, the choices were petfect. NOW, the food? ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! From the oxtail, which was fantastic, to the fish, awesome again. Now the sides. OMG, so good! I wish I had more time in SC because I would have eaten there every day for a week. Just to try everything. And the staff was THE BEST EVER! Dined on 7/20/26.”
“Yesterday afternoon, 3/15/25, my wife and I had lunch at Smashley's for the first time. North Charleston's best kept secret. We ordered zucchini chips, burgers and brussels sprouts. Wow ! Great food and the guy who took our order was informative and very friendly. Great stop, see you again ! John and Sue R”
“Just left and felt compelled to post a recommendation. We sat outside with our puppy. A bowl of water was immediately brought to him. The grit bowl was so good. But let me tell you about this pineapple upside down cake cocktail 🤤. The best drink I’ve had in my 43 years! We will definitely be back!”

“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!”
“My hubby and I stopped through today on our way back to Georgia. This bakery was on the list of one of the best bakeries in Charleston and NO lies were told! I purchased to orders of Charleston Chewies along with some cookies. We have eaten one entire container and I am working on the 2nd one! I hate that I didn’t order more! They are so good! So if you are planning a visit to Charleston, please add this delicious gem to the list!!!”
“Amazing service and delicious FRESH made to order food! Come here for delicious Thai food. My 8 year old nephew devoured his Pho soup and I devoured my Pad Sewee!”
“Phenomenal service!! We were in town for a dance competition and came as a very large group ( roughly 25 counting the kids). The staff handled it like rockstars! I fully anticipated us overwhelming the kitchen and having a little bit of a wait. Boy was I wrong. Some of our families were getting their food by the time our last group was placing their order. Outstanding job by the entire staff! Great food, great beer, and an all around great atmosphere. Next time we are in town I will be back! Thank you for an excellent evening!”

“Appreciated the convenience of walking distance to the performance venues. Atmosphere was a bit lacking and rather loud. Varied menu with ample selections, fair prices, appealing plating, and decent portions. Chicken was a bit tough and would've sent it back but traded with another at our table. Also, surprised that no coffee or hot tea options were available. We'd definitely return though.”
“OMG! I was high on how good the food was. Asian / Southern fusion done soooo well… lots of great restaurants around, but this was one those rare dining experiences where every bite I tried was a new and unique flavor experience that both delighted and surprised me! I can’t tell you the last time I enjoyed a new restaurant more than I enjoyed this tonight. ☺️🤤🍴🍛 And after letting the staff know how very much I enjoyed the food, I was pleasantly NOT surprised to learn the owner is currently a finalist on Top Chef and the tv show City Eats was just here earlier this week to feature them on their show. I’ve rarely left a restaurant feeling actual gratitude over the fact they exist.”
“Not only does Wally make the best food, he and his wife are so kind and friendly. They remembered our order and treated us like family. We will always look to find where Wally's food truck is and go out of our way to eat it. There is never any leftover - it is that good!”
“Excelente comida buen sazón y sabor. Para todos los gustos. Fue un momento divertido estar allí.”
“Best negroni in Charleston I ever had, and god, I needed it. This place is super cute, the menu is fab, and their happy hour did not disappoint. Highly, highly recommend this place.”
“Got the Quesdilla wirh chicken it was perfect and the tortilla was butter and grilled for light crisp bite. Got 6 barbecue wings decent size and really good I love wings and critical of my wings and I'm impressed. Staff was very nice with quick service and cook time. Ita little pricey but better then ording pizza or fast food to hotel”

“I didn’t even eat here. Let me start from the beginning of my evening. My girlfriend and I attempted to go to three different restaurants and all of them had an hour and a half wait after finally finding a place, We had our dinner. Dinner was finished around 7:30 and as soon as I finished it, I had to poop. I held that poop until we finished our ghost tour 3 1/2 hours later, I tried to go to multiple different places all of which the restroom was absolutely disgusting. I tried to go to a Circle K, which was closed. And finally Old Faithful. I stopped at the Waffle House. The beautiful yellow sign shimmered in the distance, like a medic in the heat of battle. The bathroom was absolutely pristine. The cold water was like a glacial spring, and the hot water was hotter than I’ve ever experienced. The soap was full and it smelled good too. The toilet was just freshly cleaned. I’ve never experienced a more inviting toilet in the moment and I don’t know if it was from desperation or just pure beauty. I didn’t even eat here and I was treated better than I was the entire evening by the town of Charleston. This waffle House made my crappy/un crappy day (no pun intended) a little bit better. I wish there was a special option for six stars for my circumstance. From 16 and hung over to 27 and needing to poop Waffle House has never let a homie down….”
“I stopped by Waffle House, and Dee made the whole experience enjoyable with his friendly attitude, quick service, and genuine care to make sure everything was right. It’s rare to come across someone who works that hard and treats every customer with respect, and I truly believe that young gentleman deserves a raise for the outstanding service he provides.”
“This Waffle House is amazing. I’ve been here about 10 times while living in Park Circle. Not only do they take ultra late online orders, but the quality and freshness is top-tier even at the late hours. It’s been a guaranteed win for me anytime I have worked long hours and other places are closing up. Six stars if possible. 😎👍”
“Our waitress Sam, as always was a lovely lady to talk too, extremely personable and just a lovely person to be around. Always made sure we were doing well and treated me and my friends well every time we've came in, she genuinely should be paid a million times more with how well she does”
“I want to give a shout out to your associate PARIS for her outstanding customer service. Not on one, but on two separate occasions, she cheerfully provided information helpful to my quest of collecting 8 specific characters of the BT21 Happy Meal toys. She impressed me with her knowledge of company practices and genuine sincerity in assisting my search. PARIS is a valuable, rare asset to your team and deserves to be applauded and recognized for going above and beyond for her superior customer relations 👋🏼🌟”
“Food is great. Ordering my food is always a great experience. Customer service is remarkable. My Fiancé loves eating from here.”
“We drove from Michigan today and got into North Charleston very late and needed a good meal after snacking in the car all day. This place did not disappoint! We got take out and they had the food ready early. I should have taken photos but we ate the food so quickly. We had the drunken noodles and crab wontons, which were very good. The star of the show was certainly the Khow Soi! Strongly recommend this dish for anyone who loves many wonderful flavors well balanced. We always eat well in Charleston and this was no exception.”

“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.”

“Went there yesterday with six friends. Although it was extremely busy, they found a seat for us in the back. We didn’t care where we sat and were thankful that they got us in rather quickly!
It’s a cute little place with some dynamite drink options and really yummy snacks! Simple but delicious and I can’t wait to go back and have that guacamole and the tacos again! My friend said the smash burger was one of the best he’s had. Great server was helpful with choosing a drink and the kitchen guys were slammed but still had a smile on their faces as we passed by to thank them on the way out.
Thanks folks for showing us such a good time - so friendly and welcoming!!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“My husband got the mint chocolate chip frappe and LOVED it! And he’s picky! I got the iced dirty chai tea latte with cold foam and I’ve had many before, and it was not great. Tasted like cinnamon watered down milk and didn’t get cold foam at all so wasn’t too thrilled given the price I paid for it.”
“I moved to Charleston just last August and I am so lucky to have found Lew’s soon after.
These desserts have to be the best I’ve ever had in my life. The chewie Charleston cheesecake is without a doubt the best cheesecake on planet earth. Every item is made with love, care and expertise. There’s just magic in this place, especially in the sweets. I’ve already spread the word and most of my friends have now selected Lew’s as their go to for comfort dessert.
10/10.”
“Sometimes what make us really come back to a place again is the costumer service. Went there this thursday 06/25/2026 at the northwoods mall with my son that had broke his jawbone. This really nice young lady stopped everything to explain how it works the menu and how we could adapt the drink so my son could enjoy his boba properly. She made sure the drink was cold with no ice because he couldn't have ice in his drink, she put it in a regular cup with no straw because he couldn't drink out of a straw. That is such a great way to raise your kids to be nice, helpful and respectful like that. Congratulations to her mom. Didn't had cash to tip her, but next time: 1000 tips for this girl! Amazing place, amazing drinks.”

Got 6 barbecue wings decent size and really good I love wings and critical of my wings and I'm impressed. Staff was very nice with quick service and cook time.

“My husband and I love trying new ramen spots and we both agreed that this was our favorite one yet. That means a lot coming from him since he has enjoyed ramen in Japan. This is the closest that he has come to experiencing that taste since he left Japan. I ordered the spicy vegan ramen and the broth was perfect.”
“Knowing there was a big festival at riverfront, we went for brunch today and the bartender was excellent. We were recommended to go grab a pint and lunch. The bartender was super attentive, we were never in need, everything was on point, without asking (even water). The crowd was a vibe. Will definitely be back.”
“The owner visits every table and connects with guests. Cloth napkins. Although I didn't love my dinner, everyone else in my group did. The desserts were great! Serving size was just right, none leftover to take home.”
Cheap Eats
“I went here for a 🥓 bacon cheeseburger 🍔 and really enjoyed it. I also got 🍟 and a drink for less than $20. If you get a basket, they throw in two onion 🧅 rings. This is not full table service. You place and pay for your order up front and wait to be called. Not the friendly type, but they get the job done.”
“Willie Jewell‘s BarBQ on University Boulevard is our go-to place for barbecue! We love dining in or getting carry-out. All the meats are excellent AND the sides are flavorful and quite varied, including daily special sides. The portions are generous and one of my favorite things about dining in is that all the sauces are WARM and available in a large pump dispenser. It’s always sad to me to put cold sauce on warm meat … that never happens at Willie Jewell‘s BarBQ on University Boulevard! The restaurant has an old-fashioned and lighthearted atmosphere and the staff are pleasant and efficient.”
“We’ve always loved Raising Canes Chicken! We need to get some locations in the Columbia SC area so we don’t have to drive over an hour to get it. 😂 The chicken fingers are always fresh and crispy and fries are very tasty too. They’ve got the good ice. Sweet tea is delicious.”
“Great service from Destiny! She noticed us looking around because we had t yet been waited on. She came over introduced herself and made our dinner experience a pleasure. My out of town visitor had a really good experience and meal. We really appreciated her pleasent positive attitude. The food was really good we will return.”
“We shared the pepperoni rolls and a BBQ chicken pizza and both were very good. Our server was very friendly and pleasant. There was a very large party seated next to us that understandably required a lot of her attention, so service for our table was a little slow at times. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and had a good experience.”
“The grill cook needs to know the difference between medium and medium rare. The manager needs to know that taking 2.00 of the 90.00 bill for a steak that wasnt cooked right is poor judgements. Sometimes we cant wait for a steak to be refired as after dinner plans are set and can't be moved around. The service was excellent and tip reflected that. I will come back because their overall record is good.”
“Nice bar atmosphere/lighting. Food was pretty good and had seasonal drink options. Got the rednose reigndeer cocktail, burger, bologna sandwich, and fried Brussel sprouts”
“While visiting Charleston for a graduation celebration, we stumbled into Rusty Bull Brewing and let me just say—thank the foodie gods we did. I ordered the 3005 Burger, and y’all… I was not prepared. This wasn’t just a burger. This was an experience. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned beef stacked with all the right fixings—it was messy in the best way and cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite was a harmony of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet bliss. But what really put this meal over the top was the mastermind behind the grill—Wax. Whoever this wizard is, give him a raise, a trophy, and maybe his own Food Network show. You could tell this burger was made with love, intention, and serious culinary skill. We came for a celebration, but we left talking about that burger. Honestly, if you’re in Charleston and don’t stop by Rusty Bull Brewing for the 3005 Burger, you’re doing it wrong. Wax, you earned a fan for life.”
“Awesome hangout to be with great Food & TASTY Beer 🍺 😋 highly recommended”
“I love love LOVE L&L…. I grew up in Hawaii and haven’t been there in a long time. So it made me happy when this one popped up in Charleston! I’ve had their kalua pig plate, however tonight, I got the “lighter garlic shrimp” plate since I’ve been on a healthy journey and tryin to make better choices. And I’m sad to say I was very disappointed with my order 😩 the shrimp was not prepared at all how I remember and the shrimp was very over cooked. The plate also said it had brown rice, and I got white. I love this restaurant and I still recommend it to everyone. But I do think they need to work on their shrimp plate a little.”
“We recently relocated to SC and been exploring places to eat. Overall we've been somewhat disappointed in our journey but definitely found a really good one in Neighborhood Tap House. Smoked wings were amazing and the Cuban was the best I've ever had. Great selection of beers. Service was top notch and a big thank you to our waitress Nico. A wonderful friendly greeting and great service. Very much appreciated, we'll be back.”
“This school bus food stop shouldn't be passed up. No one paid me for this review I just figured I should share. I moved here a year ago this is a mile from my house. I finally said let's do it. They recently renovated and I was excited to see the new set up. The Shawrma is huge and so good. You'll eat until you're full and still take a bite. It's big enough for 2 but you won't want to share. The young ladies at the register are so sweet and very helpful. They will explain what's on the menu if you aren't sure. They sell food of 3 cultures so you can mix and match. The chef stepped off the bus and I thanked him personally because I've never had food like his and I've live in 6 states. Its a hidden gem and so worth it. Also they shop their food fresh, I often see them in my local grocery stocking up basics and it's across the street.”
“We celebrated our anniversary here. Everything was exceptional!!! Service top notch and the food was very tasty and abundant, lots of left overs to bring back! Highly recommend!!!”
“We have been visiting the Charleston/ N. Charleston area for the past week and have eaten several places. This was honestly the best food and service we have had since we have been here. Thank you so much!”
“Food was very good and sercice from 2 servers who served us amazing. It was my daughter's birthday and one of them put a candle on the cake and sang happy birthday as well!!”
“It was my first time visiting the place, and everything was excellent—the presentation of the dishes was superb. The only issue was the four cocktails I had; they tasted like nothing but juice. I mentioned this to the bartender, but she ignored me.”
“Appreciated the convenience of walking distance to the performance venues. Atmosphere was a bit lacking and rather loud. Varied menu with ample selections, fair prices, appealing plating, and decent portions. Chicken was a bit tough and would've sent it back but traded with another at our table. Also, surprised that no coffee or hot tea options were available. We'd definitely return though.”
“I tried the garlic crab box and I had to get the spicy. 10/10 I will definitely be going back.”
“Their tacos and quesadillas are some of the best tasting things I've ever eaten. Considering it's just a truck, this place outperforms many of the brick and mortal sit-down restaurants.”
“One of my favorite places to go in North Charleston great DJ salmon bites are my favorite. The drinks are good and all the servers are awesome. I like that. There’s a young and mature vibe going on giving more of an upscale lounge with great R&B and rap.”
“Had family in from out of town and The Kitchen hooked us up with ham and deep fried turkey. 100% recommend.”
“Everything I’ve tried here has been absolutely delicious! I can tell the owners take much pride in their culture. Would definitely recommend for authentic filipino cuisine.”
“Food and hospitality are amazing!!! The atmosphere warm and welcoming!!! The staff is always professional and courteous. The portions are worth the price. The restaurant is clean and polished.”
“Okay honest review time---(4.8 stars out of 5- but we can't do partial stars) I got the garlic parmesan wings and fries with the pineapple lemonade. The lemonade by itself is 10 stars, nice and sweet and refreshing!! The wings were great too, super flavor packed and crunchy!! The fries were the only real food complaint, cooked really well but no seasoning, not even salt. They tasted okay but I ended up dipping them in the garlic sauce to make them taste better. They also threw in a plantain and it was good too! Atmosphere is effected bc its a food truck but the lady in the truck was friendly and so polite!! Definitely recommend this place, so good!!”
“Basil has been a favorite of mine for over two decades—I've eaten here at least 200 times since the original Downtown location opened. That’s why it hurts to leave this review, but my last two takeout orders from Park Circle were very bland and under-seasoned.
Recently, the Basil Beef was so under-seasoned I couldn't enjoy it, and tonight's Pad Woon Sen lacked the usual flavor. I love this restaurant and really hope someone on the team sees this so they can get back to serving the amazing food that made me a fan in the first place!”
“If y’all need a good southern home cooked meal this is the place to go! We got a meat, veg, and rice plate this perfectly hit the spot! The green beans were delicious and the pot roast I had was so flavorful! I also decided to get a strawberry shortcake cup which was so good I didn’t even get to take a photo!”
“I go here two or three times a month to shoot pool but the DJ always plays the music so loud you can't even have a conversation inside the bar without yelling and their beer and drink prices are outrageous too expensive”
“Haven't been in a long time and everything was wonderful! Fun drinks for both adult and child, great presentation, fabulous service!”
“Restaurant a little outdated but my she crab soup was delicious. You can eat here even if you don't stay at the hotel Server was nice and I got everything in a reasonable amount of time.”
“Love this place, food is always amazing, It's always entertaining with the 👨🍳 chef. Not someplace you would go like 2 or 3 times a week, but definitely a few months with a group.”
“The Cajun fries and the fish were fantastic. The service was wonderful and I would definitely come again”
“Great experience today as my family and I ate off the appetizer menu. The appetizers were delicious and Mary who was the manager on duty is fantastic. She really cares about customers satisfaction and she represents the Darden branding well. Savannah was our server and she is very cognizant of her customers and she goes above and beyond to make sure you’re pleased.”
“Food was very good. It was fresh & hot when I received my meal. My server was super friendly & I enjoyed every bite.”
“I went here with my cousin while visiting Charleston for the first time. We could not have picked a better place to eat. HIGHLY recommend the dumpwings and the pretzel appetizer as well as the Bubba burger. Incredible amazing food coupled with amazing service. Made us feel right at home. If I visit charleston again, I will be coming back.”
“Ok it's a waffle house but I'm telling you it hot the spot after a night out and many drinks later. Staff were friggin awesome and service was super quick”
“Fast and friendly service especially on a busy day. I'll be back ;)”

“Great experience! I can’t have dairy so was going to pass and let my family enjoy. But I was told the base is not dairy and I just needed to choose non dairy flavour and toppings. The one I chose turned out to be dairy so they called me up to verify before making. Really appreciated that. Then I told her to choose for me as long as it was non dairy. I was pleasantly surprised to see I still got a chocolate option with brownies for my topping. Tasted great; not like a knock off at all! Was creamy and delicious. Thank Sno Dash for making me feel like a regular ice cream customer ❤️ And if you need non dairy and like chocolate like me try the Brownie non dairy one!”
“I have never experienced such a place that has given me so much joy in eating. Speedy’s taco truck makes my heart all warm and fuzzy. This location looks out for every person on this planet and always provides affordable prices and a smile on my face for how good it is.”
“Good food at a reasonable price. Waitress staff was excellent. Hannah was our waitress and was totally.on the ball. The Hostess staff could use some training. They were telling people 30 minute wait when they’re were 3 tables available and customers walked out. Rather than helping clear some other tables and counter seating, they chose to stand at the hostess stand doing nothing. Everything else about this place was great and we’ll definitely go back.”
“Excellent flavour and service. Bar opened this week too!”
“Yesterday afternoon, 3/15/25, my wife and I had lunch at Smashley's for the first time. North Charleston's best kept secret. We ordered zucchini chips, burgers and brussels sprouts. Wow ! Great food and the guy who took our order was informative and very friendly. Great stop, see you again ! John and Sue R”

“I have a two-part review. First, the food: butter burgers are a mandatory food item for me every time I visit Charleston, and the Culver’s at North Charleston is my go-to. No matter what type of butter burger I get, it is always spot on. Definitely a treat! If you haven’t tried it yet, you have to!
But the service is just as important as the food, and I want to highlight the great customer service that Vickie, the general manager, gave me. She went the extra mile helping me find my misplaced cell phone, even going so far as to review security footage for me. She did this during a busy lunch crowd and while juggling an AC outage and a loss of CO2 for soft drinks. It would have been very easy for her to shrug her shoulders and say it wasn’t her problem, but she instead went the extra mile to help me, when she had every reason not to. The good food brought me to this Culver’s, but Vickie’s leadership and compassion has guaranteed me as a customer forever.”
“Just left and felt compelled to post a recommendation. We sat outside with our puppy. A bowl of water was immediately brought to him. The grit bowl was so good. But let me tell you about this pineapple upside down cake cocktail 🤤. The best drink I’ve had in my 43 years! We will definitely be back!”

Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend indulging in a meal at this gem of a restaurant.”

“Today was amazing I pulled up looking for a particular drink and wasn't able to figure out the name or to find it on the menu but the sweetest young lady with pink hair I believe her name was Unique she was patient with me and helped me and I am so happy that she did cause my drink is so amazing 😍.”
“This school bus food stop shouldn't be passed up. No one paid me for this review I just figured I should share. I moved here a year ago this is a mile from my house. I finally said let's do it. They recently renovated and I was excited to see the new set up. The Shawrma is huge and so good. You'll eat until you're full and still take a bite. It's big enough for 2 but you won't want to share. The young ladies at the register are so sweet and very helpful. They will explain what's on the menu if you aren't sure. They sell food of 3 cultures so you can mix and match. The chef stepped off the bus and I thanked him personally because I've never had food like his and I've live in 6 states. Its a hidden gem and so worth it. Also they shop their food fresh, I often see them in my local grocery stocking up basics and it's across the street.”
“these are the best carnitas tacos and huecharas I have had in a very long time. Corn and flour tortillas are hand made. Carnitas are smoked and marinated correctly. Salsa Verde has just enough bite. Located in North Charleston on the corner of Ashley Phosphate and Stafford Road. Right across from a baseball field. Next door to Country Inn Rooms and Suites. Bon Appetit! R.

“The food is amazing and Mario is the nicest guy you’ll meet! Ordered catering for an office event today. Mario and I must’ve spoken 5 or more times on the phone over the past week. He made sure all i’s were dotted and all t’s were crossed! Affordable, accommodating, and the food disappeared so fast I didn’t even get pictures 😂. Can’t wait to use them again. 10/10”

“Great food! You can tell the products are fresh and made with pride! Had the tuna eggroll special, best one I've had! Sat outside but fans were on and was a nice night. Service was good. Will go back when visiting SC again!”
