    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!

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

    Red Wine Braised Short Rib

    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!

The last two times I've ordered pita chips and hummus through the app, the online ordering process felt completely pointless. Both times, my order was marked with an estimated pickup time, but it wasn't actually ready until more than 10 minutes after that. While I was waiting, I watched employees serve 15+ people who came through the regular line after I had already placed and paid for my order. I even saw pita chips being given to customers in line while I was still waiting for the chips I had ordered earlier. It just doesn't seem like online orders are being prioritized or managed efficiently. On top of that, both orders of pita chips were so heavily seasoned and salty that I couldn't finish them. I've had the pita chips here many times over the years and never had this issue before, but the last two visits have been consistent enough that it feels worth mentioning. As a college student, eating out is something I have to budget for and is a treat I look forward to. When the food isn't edible because it's overly salty and the pickup process takes significantly longer than expected, it feels like a waste of money. I know everyone has off days, and I've had plenty of positive experiences at this location in the past. However, because this has happened twice in a row, I'll definitely be more hesitant about ordering here in the future.

They also didn't have their HH menu updated online so there were things we wanted but couldn't get because it was a different menu. We ended up getting a couple dozen oysters, smoked fish dip and crispy tuna rice. Oysters were fresh and nicely chilled, tuna rice was well seasoned and the fish dip was ok, didn't have any smoky flavor or element to it and lacked in flavor. We ended up moving back down with our friends who had dogs so they ordered from the regular menu. The server was very accommodating and friendly. My friend got the burnt ends Mac n cheese and that was delicious! The place itself was huge and I could see it being a great spot for private events. Overall we had a good time.
