Amy AlexanderApril 19, 2019The food was great! I had a Caesar salad and fries. My husband got a vegan burger with fries. It didn’t come with a bun but it was still good. We both got pie. It is pricey but in my opinion worth it!

Erik CintronAugust 21, 2017This was simple mix of high end with a lounge feel. The drinks were great there famous for Moscow mule with self made ginger beer. The food was fun French/American. Great place to hang out also
EaterJanuary 3, 2014The Rarebit is a throwback bar, both in its decor and drink prices. The cocktails are bright with housemade sodas, and breakfast is served all day. Go for the drinks.
Lauren MartielloFebruary 23, 2014A visiting New Yorker's opinion...: a MUST try. Hot chicken, grits and the Moscow mule rule. Great interior and a great vibe. Southern meets Brooklyn.
natalie kaySeptember 1, 2016Chicken & Waffles is on point. Honey butter is so good. Mac and cheese is a great side option. If you're craving eggs, get the huevos rancheros!
Vash'Ti WalkerMay 14, 2019The atmosphere was amazing ! Great vibes !! Great music selection. Aesthetic were beautiful. Moscow Mules were my favorite. Wish they had a mimosa special. Menu options great. Flavor was ok.
SarahNovember 19, 2016The Dark & Stormy is a delicious cocktail! Probably one of my favorite cocktails of all time. They make their own Ginger beer and I believe the limeaid is freshly squeezed.
Cocktails are incredible. Brunch is incredible. It's barely been open a month and I'm there multiple times a week. Hands down one of my new favorite places in Charleston!
Nick ShiersAugust 14, 2014Vegetable rarebit is delicious but on the small side, however if you order a side of fries after the meal comes you get a whole plate! Good food and reasonably priced.
Elizabeth PooreMarch 9, 2013Drink menu is fantastic. They have 4 different julep versions. The Moscow mule is delish, they also make a great aviator
Kiley LoCascioMay 27, 2014Moscow mules is best I've ever had as well as the French toast. I like mine not soggy and light egg taste. This was perfect for me
AbDecember 27, 2014Good eats at great prices in a nice place. Service is efficient enough and their bathroom uses a simplehuman can #nerdperks
Laura WJune 15, 2017Weekday Happy Hour 4pm - 7pm $5 Moscow mules, or greyhounds. House red, white, and cava for $5 and $4 draft beers
Peter G McDermottMay 22, 2013Leave the copper cup to the ladies and step up to a dark and stormy. Definitely underrated!
- Victoria EJanuary 18, 2013Chicken and waffles are delicious ( but a little on the small side. My sidecar was very good but minuscule
Allie MahlerAugust 13, 2014For vegetarians: Huevos rancheros were amazing. Mac and cheese. Grilled cheese with tomato soup.
If you come here and don't order a Moscow Mule, God kills a puppy. Just do it. Trust me. Think of the puppies.
Christina LorMarch 1, 2013I wasn't impressed by any flavor. Came for lunch, dined at the bar. It was a little warm thankfully the marble bar provided some relief. Left wanting to go grocery shopping & doing better.
Have the Moscow Mule! It's a wonderful drink! Goes great with a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich at midnight.
Chris PlunkettAugust 11, 2013Do this: the Hot Chicken w/ a side of buttermilk ranch, Mac n Cheese & an old fashioned.
CC TMay 27, 2017I had the fried catfish with the mac and cheese. The catfish was bland and the mac and cheese was grainy.
If you order a burger always get a double... If some is good then more must be better. #doubledown
Mat BrownApril 20, 2014Shower head-style faucets give a robust and pleasant hand-rinsing experience. A++
Patty melt, mac and cheese and a Moscow mule. Easy favorites.
Christopher SmithJanuary 1, 2013Super busy! Entrees aren't too expensive. I'd suggest sitting at the bar at least until it isn't "new" and you can find a seat.
Aditi ChaturvediMay 24, 2016I really enjoyed the huevos rancheros. I thought the fried chicken was just ok.
