    Wings
    Laura P.

    Great outdoor which is dog friendly. Can't believe its at a strip mall since you forget your are there. On to the food, I got the wings which were in special and my husband got the Chicago style pizza. They are HUGE/dense , we took leftovers home and it weighed a lot! This is jot a pizza for one - he knew that but I dont think it's even for 2 people. Service was good. Will be back but not get the pizza for a while. Had it for lunch and froze extras!

    We were excited to try Fam's after hearing it served "real" Chicago pizza, but unfortunately, it missed the mark completely. My boyfriend lived in Chicago for 20 years and felt he could have made a better dough, sauce, and overall flavor at home. The pizza was bland, the dough tasted like thick cardboard, and it lacked everything that makes Chicago-style pizza great. The experience didn't improve with the service. Though we originally planned to take it to go, we decided to dine in so the pizza wouldn't get cold. The restaurant was empty, yet we had no waitress, had to ask for utensils, and were never offered water. Overall, it was a disappointing experience in both food and service. Would not recommend at all! Giving it a 2 to be generous!

    I keep giving Fam's another chance, but their pizza is consistently underwhelming. No flavor, little cheese, few toppings, and taste like cardboard.

    I've been here twice now in the last two weeks and am kicking myself I haven't been here more. The outdoor patio is my favorite, it's spacious and dog friendly and there's always a seat for me at the bar. Lately I've been getting the Chokes-n-Chicken pizza and adding mushrooms and bacon. It's so good and hits the spot every time. Even with a small pie u have enough leftovers for a snack or light meal later. I've only tried two of their lagers/pilsners on hand and a small ipa (sorry I can't remember their names off hand but I'll snag them next time) that have been really good. I have no complaints with the food or beverages. The service is always quick and friendly.

    I searched for breweries in between Folly Beach and West Ashley and stumbled on Fam Brewing. Located right off Folly Road in James Island. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a big wraparound bar. Got to talking to the waitress and there are multiple football games on during the season, so this might be my new spot. On Sundays they do half priced appetizers. I got the pepperoni rolls and pretzels. The pretzels were so so. It claims that it came with beer cheese, but it was more like the yellow nacho cheese that you would get at a baseball game, the pepperoni rolls on the other hand were delicious! They were wrapped in egg roll paper and deep fried. They came with four rolls and marinara dipping sauce so it was just enough for two people to share. Couldn't decide which beer to get so I tried the sour up, beach, light, business launch, and skinny vanilla latte. They were all very unique flavors, but with my like of light fruity beers, I went with a sour. Second runner-up was the Business Launch, but might've been a little too much for a couple beers..

    Zack was a great server. Loved the beer and sandwiches out on the huge dog friendly patio.

    Chicago style pizza

    This was a great find! Excellent service and food! So glad we found this little gem. The pizza was superior and the bruschetta was fresh!

    This place is absolutely incredible! The daily deals are such a DEAL! Lots of tvs and banging good brew

    Since leaving the Boston area 22 years ago, I'm always in search of the best northern-like pizza…read more Tutti was a shocking surprise. The crust was the perfect combination of crispy on the bottom and chewy on top. The sauce and toppings were excellent and every pizza gets topped with the freshest basil leaves pulled right off the little sprigs. We were lucky enough to sit at the counter which gave us a fabulous view of the staff, ovens and prep area. I can not stress enough how delicious the food was. The Caesar salad was by far the best I've ever had. The head of romaine was precisely cut into equal slices and the dressing was tucked inside, the shredded cheese and finely grated croutons were generously sprinkled on top. It was truly fantastic. We finished with a mixed order of 6 small cannolis, three were traditional and three had fresh strawberries blended in the cheese filling for a delicious twist on a long time favorite. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and really seemed delighted that we chose Tutti for our dinner. There's a designated parking lot so no need to worry about downtown parking problems. Tutti has been added to my short list of favorite pizza in Charleston. Check it out soon. I'm confident you will not be disappointed.

We stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner and the service did not match our past experiences. Our usual waitress Nadia was not there and she always makes us feel so welcome and taken care of. This time our server was very inattentive. We had to ask for water refills and were not offered fresh plates after finishing our salad. We had to request them ourselves! She only checked on us once even though the restaurant was pretty empty. It was disappointing because we have had such great experiences here before. The food is still fantastic but the service was terrible. Yuck!

I love the inside decor, reminds me of a restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. There is a fantastic long bar to sit at, and the cocktail service is top notch. I always enjoy the Last Word here, while my husband enjoys the negroni sour. On our recent visit we enjoyed the Stretch Armstrong pizza. We were pleasantly surprised by the tomato sauce, and that stracciatella cheese was perfect gooeyness of flavor. We shared a beautiful lettuce salad, but it did not appeal to us; too much frisee. Entrees though were the stars, I had the mafalde with heritage pork and veal bolognese. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, and its cut easily held the bolognese sauce. There was a delightful spiciness to it also. Then my husband had the cacio e pepe bucotini. This rich sauce was made with plenty of butter, parmigiana reggiano and pecorino romano. Yum! With all that we had to end with dessert, and we enjoyed the zabaglione and cherry chocolate budino. The budino was the winner, with delicious cherries hidden inside the thick chocolate dessert. We've also enjoyed espresso martinis before, but did not order tonight. Melfi's is a gem of Italian elegance in flavor, service and ambience. We will continue to return and experience it again.

    I will preface this by saying that I have a bad habit of visiting restaurants at weird times (4pm…read morein this case), after lunch but before they get into the groove of dinner service. So it's entirely possible (and understandable) that I don't always get the best of what a place has to offer. That said, this was the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I was happy to see a place offer NY style pizza by the slice; you don't find that a lot in Charleston. Well, you won't find it here either. It was, generously, a home cook's first attempt at making pizza. There's something fundamentally off with the dough recipe, such that even a wood fired oven can't save it. The slices were overloaded with cheese. It was like eating wet cardboard. The meatballs were pretty good! The bartender was super pleasant and the space is attractive and welcoming. But they cannot make pizza. Normally I'm loathe to air out my business on Yelp like this; I prefer to communicate with the server if there's a problem with my food. But this wasn't an execution issue that could be fixed. A do-over would've produced the same result. Maybe, MAYBE they crush it with the neopolitan specialty pies. But I'll never know.
