    Restaurant Week 2026
    Kris G.

    Everything slapped! I mean... Every. Single. Thing! OMG... Sooooo good! Went for Charleston Restaurant Week and it didn't disappoint. Chosen the roasted carrots with whipped feta to start, the shrimp & grits with a tomato wine sauce and for dessert the raspberry almond shortbread. Everything was Gluten Free and delish. They have a new almond encrusted Pork Tenderloin and it is probably the best new addition to the menu. So tender and tasty! Also that GF cornbread is simply the best! Cute atmosphere and outside patio seating to boot. Madison was our server and went out of the way to ensure everything was perfect. Down to making sure our glasses stayed full and flowing!

    Back at Five Loaves Mt Pleasant and lucky enough to get a parking space during lunch hour!! Love this location very cool vibe!! Hostess was very friendly and we lucked out with a table right away!! Waitress on point and asked for our drink order back very quickly and got our lunch order!! We both got the Whole Chicken Salad Club on a Croissant!! Oh so good my favorite sandwich here at Five Loaves!! Easy Five Stars !!

    I am ent to Five Loaves on a weekday afternoon around 2 pm and the place was relaxed but still pretty busy. I got a corner table and was able to do some work with my laptop using their free WiFi while I had my late lunch- pretty sweet setup. I had the half arugula salad with white balsamic dressing and half marinated chicken sandwhich. They were both very good. Next time I would ask for the bread to be untoasted. They toasted it with butter and pesto on it but I would prefer just bread.

    Service was amazing! Our server was attentive, friendly, and incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. Even the half portions were surprisingly generous and filling. My only suggestion would be to offer a half-salad and half-sandwich combo option. Overall, it was a great experience, and we'll definitely be back!

    Ate there two nights in a row while visiting familky in the area. Plenty of choices, quality cuisine, great service. Night one (no pic), we had the gnocchi appetizer and the portobello burger. All quite tasty and plenty of food! Not to mention the awesome bread! Night two (pix) included the chicken feta meatballs (BIG YUM) and grilled asparagus, as well as the thai coconut hot pot with salmon. I've been there for lunch on several occasions as well and never disappointed! I'll continue to frequent it when in town! They do take call-ahead seating which helps as it's quite popular!

    I love Five Loaves. The bar is always my place when I am alone and feel so comfortable as the staff are amazing. It is a great family place and I have brought many children here and they love it. The food is so good clean and fresh. Love the salads which are topped with tortellini's, yum. Next time I will take pictures of the food but for now my drink will have to do.

    Party of 2. We ordered ahead and it was ready promptly: two Caesar salads with chicken. Nice atmosphere and an outdoor seating area as well. I was kind of disappointed we weren't staying to eat because it was a wonderful day to have been sitting out on their patio. Great salad! The restroom was clean and neat.

    Five Loaves Café is always delicious and a good experience. The staff is always very friendly and greet you with a smile. The staff are consistently knowledgeable about celiac and gluten intolerance. There are many gluten free options. The gluten free cornbread is always excellent. The overall, rustic, homegrown vibe with unique environmental design intertwined with tables with interesting typography, make the prefect dining atmosphere.

    The drinks are so good

    When you walk in immediately the place is packed. There is staff all around to help you. and very respectable. The speed of the service is OK. The place smells amazing with the food and the food is very delicious. I like their drink options. Bar side is good. overall place is a 8/10

    4.5 I love 5 Loaves! Came here for date night and the service was quick, and the food is not outrageously expensive. We got the red wine braised short rib and the tri-colored tortellini (both were really good, but I liked the tortellini more!). I would not order the bruschetta again - it was a special. We also had a bottle of red wine (which are half priced on Wednesdays). The inside of the restaurant is getting a little out dated, but overall great vibes for the night!

    Great BLT sandwich. Fast, friendly service. Lovely patio. Visiting for the first time. Suggested by a tour guy.

    I was a huge fan of the Five Loaves downtown and was super sad when they closed. I finally had some extra time for lunch during the week and checked out the Mt pleasant location. The location is big with lots of indoor tables, booths, bar seats, and an outdoor covered patio. Seating was quick and service was great as usual. I had the half smoked salmon salad and three soup sampler. The soups are fantastic - I particularly like the tarragon crab and the broccoli and cheddar. The salmon salad was very good and the half portion was sufficient for me. Overall a great visit to Five Loaves and I'm hoping to make it back soon!

    I had lunch today at Five Loaves and realized that I hadn't written a review in 10 years! Five loaves is one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston I enjoy Five Loaves for lunch and dinner and both never disappoint! Today's lunch was exceptional. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was excellent. I had the soup sampler-portobello blue cheese, asparagus dill, and tomato basil. I also had a half portobello burger sandwich on baguette. It was the perfect lunch. I highly recommend trying Five Loaves when you get a chance!

Turning into this area, is seriously a hidden gem of Mt P. The scenery is beautiful, calm and homey. The building itself feels like you are walking onto someone's large porch of their fancy classic beach house. They are have views of the tennis courts, pool and other beautiful areas around it. Now the food, was awesome! I am very picky when it comes to fish, as I usually eat shrimp, crab, tilapia and that's it. But wow, it was refreshing to actually enjoy a different type of fish that wasn't slimy, or tasted fishy. The texture was just right and full of flavor. The hummus, oh yes tomato basil flavor perfectly complimented the fish. Seriously mouth watering. Now the bar, oh heavens yessss. I have no idea the name of the pink drink, but it was phenomenal! It wasn't weak, and wasn't to strong, which can be difficult when mixing with tequila. It was literally just right. Now onto entertainment, they have live music on top of live action tennis. Can it seriously get anymore southern. Love it! The performer was a 14 year old kid saving for college, but he was pretty dang good. Lastly, I loved the atmosphere as it was warm and welcoming. As the sun when down, they flipped on the twinkling lights above. Really made it feel like you where having a party on someone back porch. There's really no other way to do it when you're in Charleston! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, it's definitely a hidden gem.

I've had the ahi tuna- it was $16 and the portion size was minuscule, and it was served with round tortillas that were a bit stale tasting. I've had the Caesar salad, and it was the best thing I've eaten here if that tells you anything. If you're not a member of the club you're really not missing out on much.

The interior has humorous things…read moreon the wall, dollar bills signed and stapled to the bar, and a great vibe in a very clean environment. We had to try the Apple Pie shots since everyone seems to talk about them. This is way more complex than some apple flavor liquor. The ingredients take some prep work, and the result is something that literally tastes like apple pie. If they bottled this, I would definitely buy it. They have two specialty drinks, the Freshy and the Orange Crush, both of which are made with fresh squeezed juice squeezed right when you order. I had the Freshy which is orange or grapefruit juice with your favorite liquor. I chose grapefruit with vodka and even though I am not a huge fan of grapefruit the freshness and tartness of the drink made it quite enjoyable. My wife had the Orange Crush with Deep Eddy's O.J vodka, Triple Sec, Sprite and some of that fresh squeezed orange juice. It was nice and sweet which was good since we were ordering a lot of savory options. The Potato Skins arrived first and they were truly impressive. Good sized skins with the perfect amount of potato, not too thick or too dry and definitely homemade. They had mixed cheese, bacon and green onions served with sour cream also loaded with green onions. As far as all the potato skins I have had these were a standout. Next came the onion rings with an absolute massive serving for just eight dollars. You could tell they were homemade and served with a chili garlic sauce. The best part was the batter coating which was crispy yet didn't fall off when bent or bitten. They reheated nicely in the air fryer. Next, we tried the Toasted Raviolis which were filled with Italian sausage and served with a house made marinara. They were nice and crispy, but the true star was the marinara sauce which was thick and chunky with parmesan mixed all throughout. I wish they had more dishes that used this sauce as it was excellent. On the advice of some regulars, I tried the chicken fingers which were all breast meat, dill brined and hand battered. It was good advice since the chicken was juicy and tender with a flavorful coating. Sometimes it pays to ask. My wife ordered the thing they are known for their Philly Cheesesteak. She decided on double meat, and they were super generous to the point she looked at me and said, "I don't know how I am going to finish this!". This cheesesteak gets nominate for a lot of best of lists and I could see why. I liked that the cheese was mixed in with the meat and not just poured on top. She enjoyed it but said next time she will order it as is. This is a great place to hang out and relax and maybe catch a band or some bluegrass and enjoy a great meal!

It used to be a fun spot with pretty decent bar food but it fell flat today. Which I possibly could have excused if it had been busy but it wasn't it was dead.
