Bodega - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Bodega is one of my favorite spots for brunch in Charleston! Bodega is a great vibe for brunch hour on a sunny day, offering ample outdoor seating, great music, and a friendly staff. The star of the show, of course, is the sandwiches. From classic deli creations to inventive, signature options, each bite is a revelation of quality ingredients and expert craftsmanship. My personal favorite is the Chopped Cheese, while my boyfriend loves the Gropfather. They also always offer delicious specials so be sure to ask. The menu caters to various tastes, ensuring there's something for everyone - carnivores, vegetarians, and adventurous foodies alike. In a city filled with dining options, Bodega stands out as a must-visit destination for those who appreciate giant mimosas and good food, surrounded by the warmth of the sun and the harmony of good music. Whether you're meeting friends, enjoying a solo lunch, or on a casual date, this spot offers a sublime blend of culinary delight and outdoor bliss. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grab a bite on a nice day! read more

Great vibes, bright welcoming space, attentive servers. Delicious and not boring coffee drinks. The cinni sticks were out of this world - so crunchy and sweet - served wirh a custard. I can't wait to get them again. The image of the sandwich speaks for itself. We live so close to this place we go there often. Just wish they would bring back half priced burgers on Tuesdays. read more

Stopped in based on reviews and really wish we hadn't - it was fine, but just that and not worth the wait. Visited on a weekday for lunch - it was probably at 50% capacity inside and out, not overly busy. Service was nonexistent - they would drop by every now and then but our water carafe would always be empty. This is a sit down restaurant for sandwiches - I was expecting counter service but here we are. Not necessarily a bad thing, but...the sandwiches took over 30 minutes to prepare? We almost walked out we were in disbelief. This wait plus the lack of any real service was very off-putting. And then the sandwiches ended up being very very average, neither of them I would order again. We went with the chopped cheese which was a chopped up cheeseburger put between a couple pieces of not great bread. The second was the Gropfather - a pounded thin chicken cutlet that I would bet is cooked from frozen, a tiny amount of pesto and nduja that you can't taste, fresh mozzarella was the main flavor component on this sandwich. The potatoes were fried crispy and had little flavor as well. Surely there are better lunch options around read more

Spunky little joint with fun atmosphere. There was a dj while we came for lunch on a Saturday - they did require to see ID which was odd for lunch at 1:30. Service was great and our waitress was very sweet. I ordered the Gropfather on a kaiser roll and a side of home fries - very fresh and tasty! Fresh squeezed orange juice was refreshing as well. They have vegan friendly options as well here. Great spot and will definitely come here again! read more

Safe to say we LOVED bodega. The ambiance is so fun with the indoor outdoor set up and the food was just next level good. We started with the frozen espresso martinis that were both fun and yummy. For food we got the gropfather which was the star of the show, I'd go back tomorrow for it. We also did the cow breakfast sandwich which was delish as well. We really loved the homemade Kaiser rolls and how fresh everything was. Our complaint was service hence the 4 stars. Sadly it took us standing up and getting a server after 15 minutes of waiting to be seen. Food took a pretty significant time to come out too. Our whole brunch experience was almost 1:45 minutes. We loved the food so much and hope this was just a fluke experience but will be back. read more

As forever downtown "locals", we love when a food gap is filled. Breakfast downtown has always been tricky. Sometimes there's a two hour wait (thanks a lot, brunchers), sometimes restaurants try too hard to be "upscale" and miss the mark, and other times, the food just sucks. We started going to Bodega as soon as they opened at Uptown Social. On weekends, they were a lifesaver. You could tell that Bodega was working out the bugs for something bigger. Alas, we visited them at their new location on Ann Street to check out the space, improvements, and of course, their tasty breakfast sandwiches. At this price point, Bodega is a safe bet. The sandwiches are made fresh (to order) and we appreciate the consistency with their Lowcountry and Classic sandwiches. Thick, dense, flavorful, and begging for ketchup, these breakfast sandwiches are perfect and the fuel you'll need to walk around downtown all day and/or kill that annoying hangover. We were most impressed by the management's customer service attitude and willingness to help us (rare downtown). After waiting for 40+ minutes, the manager found us a table next door and made sure that our order would be delivered to the new table. Because Bodega is new, communication between the different "fronts" was challenging, but the team worked together to make us comfortable. And hey, we appreciate it. Our main feedback would be to expedite to go orders without disrupting the people who want to sit down and "experience" Bodega's fun vibe/culture. read more

The atmosphere & vibes are wonderful. If you're a New Yorker looking for home the food is not it. It's a fancy/ less tasty & Seasoned take on nyc food. The bacon & cheese was not what I know. This can be a biased take as a New Yorker. Love the decor though read more

Tried this place for lunch. Both sandwiches we tried were super good! The service was also friendly and helpful. The Nutella coffee was good but kind of small for the price with a lot of ice. The vibe was great! Would be cool to come for brunch on a weekend and do their table side mimosas that have for $13. read more

Awful experience. Bring in a gift card to pay for our meal. Suddenly store unable to accept the gift card because they updated their systems. Manager unwilling to do anything to make it right.

Bodega is a great place to grab lunch downtown. Conveniently next to the Children's Museum and right near the parking garage. Seating is available outside or inside (which has some cool paintings). We really enjoyed our sandwiches and drinks (they gave us a coffee on the house and it was delicious). Get the potatoes, they were so good! We will definitely be back!! read more

Food was very good. Service was great. Decor is awesome and the ability to buy "to go" items is a great idea. One complaint...alcohol was very expensive! $25 for a no big deal bottle of chardonnay regardless of the size and an aperol spritz for $12+ is ridiculous. I'll go back for food and drink somewhere else... read more

Visited Bodega for brunch on Sunday with cousins. We were seated within 5 minutes on the patio. The day was gorgeous so the patio was a good spot. I ordered the Lowcountry with the Sausage Gravy on the side. I love sausage gravy, but being my 1st time there I wasn't sure about the ratio of gravy to sandwich. The gravy was thick, so it would've been ok on the sandwich. The sandwich has a sausage patty, cheese, and an egg. The egg was over easy. That's the one thing I would change, because I didn't think to ask how it was prepared. I don't like runny eggs. Would've preferred over hard. The sandwich was a substantial size and came cut in half & wrapped in paper which made it easy to handle. Didn't order a side since the server said the sandwich was big. But next time I'll try the home fries. Their Vegan options are really good according to others in my party. Even the meat eaters liked the Vegan Chopped Cheese. Drinks were pretty good also. Ordered a Breakfast Paloma and a Pineapple Mimosa. read more

Sat at the bar for a late lunch and a drink. I got a mule and the ginger beer was really good. For a late lunch I wound up getting a breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage, cheese and gravy(!!). I love that I was able to order a breakfast item even in the afternoon. Everything we ordered was great. read more

I arrived at Bodega on a lovely Friday morning for brunch. When we entered the restaurant, no one greeted us, so we just sort of stood there awkwardly until the two staff members at the coffee bar told us we could sit where we liked. Since it was a nice day, we sat on the patio. There were only a few tables occupied, so it was in now way crowded. Patrons scan a QR code to view the menu. After a while, my husband and I started to wonder when a waitress would stop by. After looking around and not seeing any wait staff whatsoever, the manager walked outside to check on the merchandise. My husband got his attention and politely asked for our waitress. The manager, who was very pleasant and accommodating, went back into the restaurant to find our elusive waitress. After another couple of minutes, a group of waitstaff emerged from the back of the restaurant. I'm not sure if they were having a team meeting or what. Our waitress took our drink orders and walked away before we could let her know we were ready to order our food. When our drinks arrived, we placed our order, which arrived surprisingly fast given the wait time when we arrived. I ordered the Kathy Bates, which is a fried green tomato sandwich with egg, bacon jam and pimento cheese. I was initially nervous because I was not asked how I wanted my egg cooked (I wasn't even thinking about that when I placed my order) and hoped they would not cook it over easy since I'm not a fan of runny eggs. Fortunately, the egg was cooked almost firm, which I like. The sandwich as a whole was amazing! The fried green tomatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the bacon jam was flat out heavenly and the pimento cheese added the right amount of cheesiness. I was very happy with my selection and you will not leave hungry. All in all, this restaurant is a nice place to stop for a great sandwich, but service can be quite slow. You may have to flag down the wait staff if you need anything because they seem to just hang out when not dealing with a customer. Bodega is a very cool, Instagram-worthy restaurant that's great for families, couples and groups of people. read more

This is a cute little place & in walking distance from my job.

This place was a good spot to go to when out with friends because the vibe was fun, but definitely nothing special. I understand that it was Saturday and it was busy but it took 20 minutes for me to get my cocktail which I later found out was just a draft, which is pretty crazy. (I think most of their cocktails are draft) Still overall, pretty fun if you're out with friends and want to stay downtown! read more

What a cute, hidden restaurant! This gem is next to the Children's Museum and between the Music Farm and Charleston Music Hall. There are sandwich board signs that point you to the direction of the entrance in case you're not sure where to go. Our party was a party of 6 so when we came in, we looked around for a table big enough for us. We were immediately greeted by all the colorful artwork on the walls! Someone came by asking us about our party and put two tables together by the entrance (a 4 top and a 2 top). It was cold that day and my seat was with my back to the entrance. There was a tall space heater near the entrance that seems like it was placed there on purpose to help with the cold breeze. I feel like without the space heater there, it would have been much colder by the entrance. The whole vibe of Bodega was comfy, welcoming, and made me think I definitely want to come back! The service was quick and our server was friendly the entire time! Actually, everyone we interacted with was really friendly. The servers were always smiling when they walked by and everyone seemed to be in such a great mood. The food came out and it was delicious! The home fries were PERFECT! I'm a big fan of BLTs and clubs so I love to try those anywhere new I go. I don't like spicy food or the texture of avocado, so I got mine without the chipotle aioli and avocado (sorry, just can't) and my sandwich was great! The portion was really big, too, and I didn't finish mine so I took half the sandwich home (had it for dinner and it was perfect). Definitely will need to come back to Bodega again! read more

I came here on a super busy Sunday! I didn't have to wait long for a spot at all. They had a great DJ, who set the vibe for the restaurant! I think this is a super great spot to hang out on a Sunday afternoon. Got the pastrami dip in the Arthur sandwich. I believe the pastrami dip is seasonal but my goodness everything was so good. I felt like I had two meals and one. They are coffee and tea was also delicious. I've had their espresso martini here on a previous visit and it was just lovely! I've only heard good things about this place. I'm so glad I lived up to my expectations read more

This is a good spot to grab breakfast, brunch or lunch and sit outside on the deck with your friend to soak up the sun. I love the building itself... It gives a bright personality and definitely attracts a younger crowd (especially since Share House is just right next door). I ordered a Kathy Bates Sandwich with a Bodega Brew. Kathy Bates Sandwich - This sando has fried green tomato, bacon jam, egg, and pimento cheese. I love fried green tomatoes so I had to get this. I personally did not taste the egg so maybe next time I would ask for another egg but all in all, I enjoyed eating this sandwich. Bodega Brew - Just a regular cup of coffee. When I asked for cream and sugar, I was surprised that they already put it in for me. I would prefer to do it myself next time if that is possible. Service was pretty standard. Would come back to grab a sandwich here again. read more

Bodega - The Gropfather + Frozen Espresso Martini - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Marketed as New York bodega-style food, I was expecting a classic bacon, egg, and cheese that reminded me of the corner spots back home--but they've definitely taken some creative liberties. The vibe and decor are great, with a lot of attention to atmosphere, but the food doesn't quite live up to the theme they're selling. Menu items are loosely inspired by bodega staples, but don't feel authentic or comparable in flavor. Also, for a casual brunch, the prices felt steep--nearly $50 for a breakfast sandwich and a lunch sandwich. Not quite the value I was hoping for. read more
