Disappointing HYPE

by sami08

Long wait & RUDE SERVICE for all the hype this place receives. Rather expensive for fast food! Wendys serves a better burger. Expecting my $7 draft beer to be cold..... guess again!

  • Pros: unique atmosphere
  • Cons: long wait & warm beer

Great burger joint!

by crimmer01

This is a very good place if you're in the Charleston area and want to get away from the tourist filled spots in the downtown area. The restaurant offers a very comfortable atmosphere. The service can be spotty at times - I've been there two times so far and during the first visit (it was very busy mind you) but the service was slow to say the least. My second visit incorporated top-notch service with a friendly waitress.

The food was really good - I had a burger with buffalo shrimp. I didn't quite know what to expect - a hamburger with shrimp on it - but to my surprise it was awesome!

If I had to offer any criticisms they would be: 1) Perhaps a better control over some of the patrons at the bar and their use of foul language where children are present and 2) a better selection of micro-brews (sorry if I'm a beer snob, but I hail from the Northwest and it's hard to beat some of the Oregon-based micro-brews up there).

All in all, a VERY good choice for a casual lunch or dinner!

  • Pros: FRIES FRIES FRIES
  • Cons: Rowdy bar patrons

Neurotic Liar???

by sullyslocal

Wow! Holy Moly! Honestly dude, you have a lot of nerve calling your waitress a neurotic liar. I just so happened to be sitting at the bar when your family made a scene, in the middle of a ridiculously busy summer day, mind you. I was sitting at the corner of the bar and witnessed the drama unfold firsthand. First of all, what looked like a young teenage female, attempted to order a drink from the waitress. When the waitress asked for her ID, the girl immaturely rolled her eyes, huffed and puffed, and didn't even acknowlege the waitress. The waitress then checked the other two IDs. No sooner than when the waitess turned to walk away, did the young girl say (loud enough to be heard by the table next to them, myself, and the bartenders), "What a b$tch." Seriously, you need to educated that youngin on how to behave in a restaurant. If you talk to the staff like that, you get kicked out. Being with your family has nothing to do with it. Behavior like that should not be tolerated by anyone, especially a waitress just trying to do her job. Grow up. Stop blaming the poor behavior of your family member on the waitress. She seemed in perfect mental health to me.
