    Fun night! Everything was fresh and delicious, we had fun "cooking" the meat ourselves, makes for a super fun experience ! A little pricey, but in our opinion worth it.

    oysters on the half shell

    Went for the first time and had the best experience. Beautiful atmosphere, incredible food, friendly service, and great drink selection.. can't wait to go back. Highly recommend

    Fine-dining prices with fast-food execution -- except slower. $22 for 6 pieces of beef tongue and $32 for 8 thin slices of short rib, then over one hour of waiting for food this basic. Impressive. Small portions, slow service, and zero justification for the prices. If overpaying and waiting endlessly is your idea of a good meal, this place might be for you. Otherwise, avoid.

    Great food, nice service. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. My favorite was the calamari.

    Sake

    Ambience is 5 out of 5. Meat quality was good unlike other Korean or Japanese bbq buffet (not comparable). Our server was very attentive and ensured she changed the grill multiple times to control the smoke from the grill. The food was good, just a little on the pricey side but you're paying for the experience as well. Make sure to look at the Shareable Combo on the menu instead of ordering by plate. We did A1 and it was filling for 2 plus hot sake.

    This is how the food comes and in the center is where you cooking it and it was loads of fun

    I can only rate this restaurant on two items, but they were fabulous. I had never had beef cheek…read morebefore, but I love all things BBQ and my neighbor across the street said they do a fantastic job with them . So off we went. The restaurant itself is not at all fancy, even rustic one might say, but I came to eat, not look at decor. You stand in line and tell them what you want and they slice it right there and you move to the next station for sides and then drinks. So we got two whole beef cheeks and the Puerto Rican beans. I asked the fella behind the counter if I wanted the hash and rice or the beans and he said definitely the beans. Boy was he right. Make sure to get the house made pickles and pickled onions as they add the perfect amount of acid to the rich beef cheeks. I am a barbecue pork fanatic. Even after living in Texas where brisket and the beef rib are king, I favor pork. Today I jumped to the beef side. Beef cheeks that is. So tender that no knife was needed. Smokey with a flavor I can't describe because I never had them before. Heavenly. Those Puerto Rican beans also had a combination of flavors I haven't had before. LOVED THEM!!! They did not have wine although the website said they did, but I lived. Dog friendly as well. My daughter is coming from NYC and I can't wait for her to try them. You should as well.

    Hands down- the absolute best bbq we've ever had!! THE BEEF CHEEK!!!! Holy cow! We also got the…read moreDino bone, delicious however about $50/bone. All the sides were perfection. Ordering is done thru a line walking along the window, so no servers, however that tip screen still pops up when paying. Family of 4 ate for a little over $100 but the beef cheek was well worth the trip! Definitely will be back when visiting Charleston!

    This place reminds me of Melvin's except they don't have the "pick 4 sides for $10"…read moreMy hubby has cancer so he eats like a 5 yr old but I still want us to have good memories We picked the 3 meats platter of brisket pork and turkey with fried okra and Mac and cheese I liked everything but hubby complained okra wasn't mushy. It isn't supposed to be We forgot to clean up the table. We just realized that because Melvin's makes you do that We are sorry. Both of us had really stressful days and weren't thinking

    Took the kids to Willie Jewell's last night. I think the best way to describe it is "just fine"…read more Staff was super friendly and patient with us as we weren't familiar with their menu. We had fried pickles for the table. My daughter got brisket, my son got a burger and fries, and I had the 3 meat plate (sausage, brisket, and pork) with Mac and cheese and hash and rice. Everything on my plate had a nice, smoky flavor to it but was otherwise underwhelming. The sauces lacked real flavor and were bland. The hash was bland and the mac and cheese was just mush with too much flour and too little cheese. My son described his burger as "OK". Inside the decor had that Cracker Barrel thing going on where it's made to look old timey but comes off as manufactured, but you're here for food not aesthetics. Nothing really jumped off the table at me as "this is good". Maybe I am spoiled by having lived near so many stellar smokehouses when I was in the Columbia area, but paying $86 after tip for 3 people to eat very mid grade BBQ and the plates weren't really loaded down, when I could spend less for buffet at Shealy's or Hudson's and have an outstanding meal just doesn't feel great. At the same time, nothing was offensive. It just didn't scratch the BBQ itch for me. J.Ja

A place you…read morecan hang out and stay a while and not even realize hours have gone by because you made new friends with the people sitting around you! My husband and I sat at the outdoor bar on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone was so friendly; the bartenders, the couple sitting next to us, the dog on the other side of us, the people sitting across the bar, etc. It was a great time! And it was my first time having country fried steak (I am a recent transplant from the North) and I loved it! I picked mashed potatoes & vegetables for my sides and it was the ultimate comfort food meal. Needless to say, we will definitely be back again :)

    Icehouse was a good pick for a lunch play date. They have a cute outdoor play area and music. Great…read moremenu with a kids menu as well. Local beers are always a win! Waitress could have been better. She seemed a little over us and not the friendliest. Didn't stop us from enjoying our time. We sat outside and it was a hot day, but plenty of tables with umbrellas. Food came quickly (table of 6). One of the kids meals was forgotten and had to be re-fired but nbd- happens to the best of us. Chicken tenders were real chicken so loved that. The Caesar was delicious and added on blackened salmon which was also great. Will definitely visit again in the future!
