I am officially obsessed with this restaurant!…read more My mom is visiting from out of town, and since we live less than five minutes away, I finally decided it was time to try La Chev. I think they've created a monster because I'm already addicted. In fact, I'll be back this weekend when my next guests come to visit! We enjoyed drinks, split a salad (pictured is the half portion since we shared it), and shared the salmon. Everything was absolutely delicious. The outdoor patio is spacious, relaxing, and beautiful.....such a great atmosphere. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting Steve. He was amazing! He was so charismatic, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They are lucky to have him. I've already told my family I want La Chev gift cards for Christmas. I almost didn't want to leave a review because I selfishly wanted to keep this place to myself, but they deserve all the recognition. Hands down, this is officially my favorite restaurant in Summerville!

It's perfect for popping in if you're solo, date night, girls' night, and if you're lucky, y'all can snag the big green couches in the middle room. And of course, you always have to go say hi to the bobcat when you're there. One of my favorite spots around -- highly recommend.

Title: The Pickle Bar - Summerville, SC Great flavors, but…read moretakeout quality fell short We ordered two BBQ sandwiches on brioche buns for pickup today--one with onion rings and one with sweet potato fries. The Good: The actual BBQ meat, coleslaw, and pickle slices were very good and full of flavor. The Disappointing: Unfortunately, the bottom bun of both sandwiches was completely soaked through with liquid and totally unfit to eat. We had to throw the bottom buns away and eat the sandwiches with a knife and fork, which defeats the purpose of a sandwich. Since we ordered a bit late after the lunch crowd, our onion rings were cold, and the sweet potato fries were cold and limp. We usually order out so we don't have to cook, but I ended up having to reheat both sides in our kitchen. Once they were hot, they were actually pretty good! We didn't want to make another trip back to the restaurant to get it fixed, so we just made the best of it. Verdict: The food definitely has potential, but the takeout packaging and timing missed the mark today. If we decide to try it again, we will definitely "dine in" instead to make sure everything stays fresh.

This place is SO much fun. It has that nostalgic arcade feel without feeling like you've accidentally wandered into a children's birthday party. The whole space is colorful, playful, and full of things competing for your attention in the best way. You can grab a drink, bounce between games, get a little unnecessarily competitive, and lose track of how long you've been there. I also love that it's in Park Circle. There's already so much to do in the neighborhood that Pinky & Clyde's makes an easy first stop, last stop, or the reason you came out in the first place. It feels social without requiring everyone to sit around a table making conversation all night, which I appreciate more than I probably should. The whole concept is just FUN. Not overly serious, not trying to be too cool, and definitely not another copy-and-paste bar. Charleston can always use more places where grown adults are encouraged to play games and behave slightly less grown. Pinky & Clyde's, you have my attention!

I've always enjoyed Montreux in Summerville and used to consider their shrimp and grits some of the…read morebest around. Unfortunately, something has clearly changed with that dish. The shrimp had a very strong, fishy smell that was honestly off-putting, and the flavor matched. It almost seemed like the addition of wine was an attempt to mask the issue rather than enhance the dish. The grits were also disappointing--lumpy and lacking the smooth, creamy texture you'd expect. That said, not everything missed the mark. My coworkers ordered the chicken salad, chicken wrap with sweet potato fries , blackened chicken pasta, and bruschetta, and all of those dishes were absolutely delicious and well prepared. They definitely helped redeem the overall experience and show the kitchen is still capable of putting out great food. Adri was our server, and she was an absolute delight--a total gem. She never missed a beat and was completely on top of everything. I also appreciated the convenience of the location. I parked across the street in the garage, which was well lit, safe, and very close. There's plenty to see and do in the surrounding area, which adds to the appeal. I'm hoping this was just an off day, because Montreux has been a favorite in the past. I'd love to see the shrimp and grits return to the quality they were once known for.

They also still had Valentine's Day decorations up an it was over a week ago so I found that strange. They had a pretty big menu, but we ended up trying their street tacos and chicken noodle soup. My soup came out super quick which was fine but it was just above room temperature. Didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping for but all the ingredients were good. We don't love not having a double tortilla when it comes to street tacos because it normally falls apart easily and that's what happened with these. They weren't the best but they tasted fine overall. It was a pretty average experience with the food and service, nothing was memorable.

This was our first visit and excited to come back! The building is attached to Kings BBQ for delicious before show bites. We went for their "Golden Hour" and loved every moment. Glad we got there early because the parking lot does fill up quickly. There is additional parking around the venue, if it's full when you arrive. The entrance leads directly into a large bar area, with seating along the whole counter. Basically this area is half of the building so is surprisingly large. They offer craft cocktails, local beers, and wine by the glass. The second half of the building is the stage and seating. Personal space is a premium here as every spot is used for the audience. We saw 3 two seaters tables along the back wall as welk as a few tables in the front row directly at the edge of the stage. Both areas are considered "upgraded" seating/tickets. Use that info when buying tickets. The rest of the seats (at least for our show) are open seating. My suggestion is not to wait too long to find seating once the doors open. Not that there is a bad seat, but I do like to have choices. We had two openers and the main headliner for our show. Everything ran smoothly, with good volume and pacing. They then had a merch area set up after the show, back in the lounge/bar area. This got a little extra cosy but everyone was respectful. We would 100% come back for another show!
