What People Are Saying About Sticky Fingers - Charleston - Historic Downtown

The Scene – Sticky Fingers, Charleston's popular local chain of barbecue restaurants, is the epitome of casual dining: dark wood, oversize booths, framed posters of blues legends peering down at you as you shamelessly gnaw that last bit of pork off the bone. Silverware comes wrapped in a hand towel rather than a napkin, and it's a blessing. Consuming a rack of Carolina-style ribs is a messy job. – – The Food – You're in South Carolina, where the tea is sweet and "barbecue" means pork. Ribs come five different ways--Memphis Style Wet, Memphis Style Dry, Tennessee…

Wonderful Restraurant

by KaceyA

This place is wonderful! Well worth the 5 star rating, and a great representative to Charleston, SC! My family and I took a trip to SC for the first time recently and Sticky Fingers was our choice restaurant for my friends family (3 adults, 2 babies under 6mon) and my family (2 adults, 2 children under 4). My son, not quite 2, decided to knock over a brand new glass filled with soda- ALL over the table and floor. The men running the restaurants were all upbeat and good natured and very respectful about the accident, even bringing back a drink for my son (with a lid) and a new one for myself. I felt like an idiot, but it was only because of my own actions- the people working that night were nothing but nice. Their customer service would be enough to make me come back, and recommend- but the fact that their food was all delicious is even more reason. I look forward to buying some of their BBQ sauce off their website!

Fantastic Rehersal Dinner

by diane wise

We had my son's rehersal dinner at the Meeting Street Sticky Fingers location upstairs. We had 92 people from the Nashville and Knoxville Tennessee areas. We were so impressed by the staff and everything was perfect. The food was delicious and they made it so easy for us because they ordered the flowers, did all the decorations, ordered and picked up the cake, and had the equipment for our slide show after the dinner. There was also a beautiful outside patio that everyone loved. It was so Charleston. Everyone said it was the best rehersal dinner they had ever been to. We were so thrilled that everything went so smoothly and the bride and groom loved it. I would recommend this venue to anyone needing an excellent place for a party or rehersal dinner.

Not impressed

by sross2

I came down here for a weekend, and as I was walking around King Street I smelled sticky fingers. By the smell I expected it to be great, but once we got our food, we were so disappointed. I live in Atlanta, and I like my ribs smoked or at least grilled, I don’t like parboiled ribs. Don’t boil my ribs first!! Service was great, sides were good, but the chicken had a funny taste, the ribs didn’t have that smoky flavor I love, and the pulled pork was kind of sad.

  • Pros: Quick and friendly service, good sides
  • Cons: parboiled ribs

Best food we had during our trip.

by SCtraveler

Service was fantastic. Waitress was very friendly & chatted with us and my niece. Our food came timely and was delicious. My niece, who is picky, even ate all of her dinner and was ready for ice cream! We all really enjoyed the restaurant. We were sat in a busy area, but given the delicious food, didn't even care! First time I had eaten at this restaurant, and I am looking forward to eating there again!

  • Pros: Great service, great food.
  • Cons: None.

If you like your ribs w/ dry rub...

by palmettogal

We love this place for their dry rubbed ribs. Many locals put it down b/c it's become too popular. The fact of the matter is, it's solid and good. Don't hesitate to go here for lunch or dinner. I most highly recommend lunch, when they have many specials to choose from. If you choose an app., get the potatoe skins, which are topped w/ pulled pork and bbq sauce, they will melt in your mouth.
