But fish & chips specifically, is not something that I ever really crave. But luckily, I had a job outing at the CODfather and it literally blew all of our minds. Even if you get a half order, it's still huge! And same can be said about the fish sandwich. I usually cut the filet in half and ate one part separately. Aside from the size, it's always cooked perfectly. Great quality meat and not overly battered. My only complaint is I wish there was more seasoning in the batter. However, to offset that, they literally have some of the best cocktail sauce and tarter sauce that I've ever had. I've only had them twice, but they managed to earn a special place in my heart. Side note, though similar, there's no affiliation with the other CODfather restaurant.

I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich Combo ($8.99) with Mac & Cheese and Iced Tea, 3pcs Chicken ($9.19) with Fries and Pepsi, 2 BoBerry Biscuits ($2.29), and a regular Tot Rounds ($2.79). The chicken sandwich is definitely a favorite, especially with the cheesy and creamy mac and cheese. I also enjoyed the tots, which were fun to eat --just wish they were a bit crispier. I found the chicken strips to be just mediocre though, maybe these weren't as fresh. Finally, the boberry biscuits were the perfect dessert. They're pretty big biscuits with a fluffy center and crispy outside covered in a sweet glaze. Almost wish I was able to get Bojangles one more time before we left. Note that this location is located inside a gas station with a drive-thru. There is no seating and it's a very small ordering counter.

Famous for its oysters and fried chicken, this Charleston favorite has a vibrant green entrance you can't miss, with cozy indoor seating plus patios in both the front and back that give off relaxed, coastal vibes. We started with the smoked mahi dip, and I honestly couldn't stop eating it--it was my favorite dish of the day. We also ordered two rounds of the chargrilled oysters, and they disappeared almost instantly. For our entrées, we shared the famous fried chicken, and whenever I see a whole fish on the menu, I'm ordering it. The branzino was cooked perfectly--flavorful, tender, and definitely worth it. To cool off, we grabbed one of their frozen drinks, which was the perfect refreshing treat on a hot Charleston day. One tip: get there early because this place fills up fast. If Leon's isn't on your Charleston food list yet, it should be. I already can't wait to go back!

They were still good though! Leon's will definitely be a go to spot next visit to Charleston!

It's only $25 and comes with more than enough food for two. We upgraded to specialty sides for a little more, but it's still a great deal for dinner. The spices on the rotisserie chicken are really what make it over the top, but don't forget about the sauces on the side. Try the green one, try the red one, then mix them together for some Christmas tree action. For sides, we had the green beans, black beans, and the our favorite arrozaroni. It was a lo mein fried rice and I could eat an entire plate of it. Definitely don't skip this one.

This was a whole experience. We were in Charleston Saturday night through Wednesday afternoon and…read moreBertha's is only open Wednesday through Saturday til 5pm. So we took an Uber there on our way to the airport, luggage and backpacks and all. The line was to the door. Most people get their food to go but there are a handful of tables in the dining room. We parked ourselves and our bags at one by the front wall and settled in for our fried porkchops and fried chicken, lima beans, cabbage, red rice, mac and cheese, and corn bread. And while we waited for our food, one of the kitchen staff walked around passing out free frozen punch. It was good! This was the perfect choice for our last meal in Charleston. We were in and out in 45 minutes, full and satisfied. The only thing is we are still confused about pricing. We think there was an error because somehow we paid $29 for one meal and $19 for the other. Can't be right...but we didn't have time to sort all that out. Pay it forward.

You order, they plate it, you pay and either take it to go or to sit in the small dining area. Service is very quick and efficient, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come here because the staff joked and laughed with them as they waited in line. Speaking of the line, it moved fast but while we were there a woman came around with a tray and offered little cups of brightly colored something. I chose red and was delighted to see it was a frozen punch, red is cherry. My friend got orange and he said it was like a mango or peach flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, with cabbage and red rice. The cabbage was absolute fire, it was so tender and delicious. The red rice was good, but a bit on the dry side. I feel like had I been there when a fresh pan was brought out it would have been a lot better. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and had a flaky crust but it needed salt and the tables did not provide any. I would come back, there are so many other things I would love to try and this place is busy for a reason.

I opted for the seafood platter featuring fried shrimp and fried whiting, and I added a side of wings, an extra order of mac and cheese, and a cup of their signature Geechee sauce. While the red rice included with the platter was decent and met expectations, the rest of the meal was unfortunately underwhelming. The fish lacked a fresh taste and the macaroni and cheese was extremely bland, requiring me to use the Geechee sauce just to inject some necessary flavor into the dish. Given that the main components failed to impress, there wasn't anything about this experience that would make me return for a future visit.

Got harassed by customers and staff did nothing about it…read more As soon as me and my friend walked in for a pickup order these two little boys that looked around 10-13 years old immediately started making comments at us and yelling at us for our attention. This was happening AS we were talking to the cashier and he did nothing about it. As we sat down the kids yelling progressed as they proceeded to make vulgar and very SEXUAL comments at us and THREW FOOD at us. Again as we sat waiting for our food, receiving the harassment from the kids, the cashier did nothing. When we finally left the store I called to let them know that these kids were acting in a disrespectful and disgusting manner to their customers and should be kicked out immediately, and the guy who picked up the phone was incompetent or something because he barely understood what I was saying and didn't even care and took no action about the kids. I don't care how old the kids were. There is no excuse where someone thinks it's acceptable to YELL and annoy strangers and ask them for SEXUAL FAVORS. The fact that these small kids were let in without a guardian shows that this establishment does not care about their customers. Additionally, the way staff ignored their disorderly behavior and my complaint call afterwards really shows that this establishment does not care about their customers truly. And another strange thing about the cashier was as soon as we came in the first thing he asked to my friend was a question about her ethnicity. No introduction. No "Hi how are you?". No"How may I help you?". He immediately just asked the most unnecessary and strangest question. Interesting how he couldn't ignore my friends ethnicity, but could ignore those kids harassing customers. I hope those two little white boys and the cashier that was present on 6/29/2026 around 12:10-12:30 pm were banned and fired respectively. And the food sucked. The wings were small and the fries were soggy. Never coming to this joke of a restaurant again.
