We were in town visiting my son. He and his girlfriend frequent this place for good reason. It was a beautiful night in Charleston and we sat outside. It was the kind of evening you hope for when you are in the Lowcountry, with a light breeze, twinkling lights, live music, and the smell of wood smoke from the outdoor cauldron fire pit. We started with the duck poutine, tallow fries, and crispy Brussels, and every single bite was incredible. The flavors were rich, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. For our main course, my son and husband both ordered the pork chop, and it was one of the best I have ever tasted. It was juicy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My son's girlfriend and I had the duck ramen, which was phenomenal. The broth had deep, comforting flavor with just enough heat to keep it interesting. The service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere made it one of those meals you do not forget. Between the food, the music, and the outdoor setting, Herd Provisions is exactly the kind of place that makes Charleston dining so special. We will definitely be back on our next visit, and I completely understand why it is one of my son's favorites. read more

I love the happy hour here. Great food selection, the empanadas were a hit and so were the deviled eggs. The patio outback is perfect for a nice day and they even give you a table top spinner to keep the bugs away. The bartenders and servers are wonderful. We had friends visiting and the bartender asked what kind of drinks they like and made them something special off menu. Very thoughtful. read more

If I lived in Charleston, this would be my go-to spot. It is so cute and has a great outdoor patio with a fire pit and heaters. The food is really tasty too. It is a slightly fancy but also casual place. We tried the carpaccio, mozzarella, and fries. All were delicious, especially the carpaccio. It came with a horseradish sauce that complimented it perfectly. The mozzarella was tasty and the fries were seasoned to perfection. They are cooked in some sort of animal fat, likely pork grease, and seasoned with rosemary and other spices. We ate those so fast! read more

To say we loved this meal is an understatement. Everything was so incredible and the outdoor vibes were amazing. They do a 3-5p happy hour and have live music twice a week. Our server, Kenny, was so knowledgeable and helped us order the perfect bites. The spritz and espresso martini were both great. They drank light and fresh. We ordered the Caesar salad, asparagus and fish specials, ribeye steak and kids burger. Everything was so good and honestly I couldn't stop myself from helping finish my daughter's kids meal. I can't get back here fast enough. read more

I went here for an after party event and absolutely loved it! Since we arrived at 9ish, we were only given drink and Small Plates menu, so my review is restricted to that. The after party was in their outdoor space in the back, which we were worried about because of the cold but they had their fire pit going along with a massive heater to keep us nice and warm! The serving staff weren't so sweet and organized with taking several of our orders. They also were really great at giving us reminders about putting in our food orders before their kitchen closed for the night. I ordered the fries and Hand Pulled Mozzarella. The fries were perfectly crispy and not too greasy! The Hand Pulled Mozzarella was super fresh and delicious! It came with arugula and what I believe was roasted squash--I highly recommend taking a little bit of each at every bite for a delicious experience! Someone ordered the Carpaccio, which I was able to try, and it was one of the best I've e ever had! I don't know how this place is for a regular lunch or dinner vibe, but it seemed really cozy and elegant on the inside, so I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in town! read more

Herd is closing. However, I wanted to give them a review. The two times we came in, the food was good but the bar service was terrible. Bartenders are not very friendly, are SO SLOW to greet the people who sit at the bar. I've literally watched people leave because they take so long to even just say "I'll be right with you". Drinks are okayyy so I usually just get a glass of wine instead of a cocktail. Just bummed about the service here. I feel like this could have been a really awesome neighborhood spot but it isn't worth the money when the service doesn't make you feel appreciated for being there. read more

Parking is a little weird. Though I parked across the street, I am not sure that's where I should have been, though there did not seem to be any signs saying it would be a problem. The place has a comfortable feel to it, and the service was outstanding. However, the real key to going here is the locally sourced ingredients. The sustainably farmed 28-oz bone-in ribeye was amazing and cooked to perfection. The Tallow Fat Fries (MAHA -- my comment, not theirs) were a great side, as were the Roasted Mixed Mushrooms -- herb mix, garlic, sherry vinegar. Though closed at the time of dinner when I was there the front of the place also has a retail shop. It is not big, but it seems like you can special order something amazing if you are hosting a large event. read more

This is my second time visiting Herd Provisions but this time I came for lunch. I like the casual ambience of this place and it feels really open. They have outdoor patio and were surrounded by greenery to make it more cozy outside. The waiter came right away as soon as we sat on our table and we ordered their lwf beef tartare which we think a bit different cos it has a cumin flavor to it. Not really our favorite but just really something different to what beef tartare we normally had. I ordered a scallops for my dinner entree and they were so good. It came with Brussel sprouts and potatoes and they both seasoned really well. My husband ordered their steak and it was so good and juicy. We also ordered their creamy mashed potatoes and their amazing roasted mixed mushroom. The hostes told us that they will have a new fall menu so we are planning to come and check it out come fall! read more

I had another incredible dinner at Herd! I love the welcoming, warm service here. Walking by their butcher counter makes me crave some meat!! For starters, we shared the Niçoise Field Greens. I ordered the blues burger (shh - you can order off the burger menu) & my boyfriend ordered the NY koji burnt onion stripsteak. I'm not joking when I say this is one of the best burgers I've ever had. INCREDIBLE!!! The beef fat fries are worth writing home (or on Yelp) about! We ordered a few of the velveteen rabbit cocktails which were super refreshing. Cannot wait to come back soon!! read more

Grand experience. Service and meals outstanding. The provisions to go such as, bacon, steaks and eggs are marvelous. You might want to bring a back cushion though. The top of the chair is a back killer!! read more

This place is really top-notch! As soon as you walk in, you see the meat market of high-quality beautifully aged meats. It really brings the ranch to the seaside. I love the ambience with the wood decor and beautiful lighting. Not too bright not too dark. Super classy yet somehow relaxed at the same time. We had an array of different items which is a great way to go when sharing with family and friends. The food was all seared perfectly, seasoned perfectly, great amount of acid, and the selection is great. It really has something for everyone! The service was professional yet friendly at exactly the right time during the meal. I'll be back over and over again! Bring your herd! read more

We attended for the 5th Year Anniversary along with Hurricane relief and it was such an amazing experience. From the expansive chef curated menu to fantastic service and beautiful ambiance, this exceeded expectations. We had three appetizers to split and our favorite was the dumpling! delicious sauce!

We came here around 5:30 on Saturday night and didn't have a reservation but we were able to get seated right away on the patio. We live nearby and have been wanting to check this place out for a very long time! They had bug spray sitting out for us to use which was great there's a lot of no see ums right now! We didn't get a burger menu and didn't know we had to ask for one until we had already ordered. It was our first time coming here. There was only one server for the patio and she was quite busy! We did get a cocktail and a glass of wine which was good. You do have to order all of your food at once. We started off with the poutine and it was super tasty! I honestly wish we had stopped there because the rest of our meal wasn't so good. My bf ordered the duck which was poorly cooked, had a super strong pungent sour and vinegar flavor and was too tough to eat. The server did come by once right after we got our food and we haven't had a chance to really eat so we didn't have any feedback at that time. We took two bites of the duck and moved on. We also had the sweet potatoes which had an over the top inedible sweet and salty flavor. They also had very vinegar tasting pecans and an off tasting sauce in the dish. Again, took a bite and gave up. I also ordered the pan seared fish which was also covered in vinegar and very hard to eat. We told the server that our food wasn't edible and only took a few small bites total. She said she wished she knew earlier. Another worker came by to offer us dessert but it had been 2 hours and we were tired. Then we continued to wait for our check. I had to get up and find a worker at the host stand to get our check. I have worked on the service industry for many years and hate to complain but this was so sad. I've never been so dissatisfied and disappointed in a restaurant in my life. The table next to us had issues getting the servers attention and had problems with their food too. Paid $140 for drinks and poutine. From the bad food to the bad service I won't be back. read more

We have been coming here for over a year and today's visit was very different from our past especially if you read our previous glowing reviews. Service was extremely slow on the patio during a 5pm early dinner with a relatively empty restaurant. We ordered the app special which was great and it arrived promptly along with our toddlers meal. We ordered the dry aged ribeye for dinner with the Brussels sprouts and beef fat fries. The steak was ordered medium rare and was undercooked to that temperature making it difficult to enjoy. The Brussels and fries were delicious as always. We also ordered the cheesecake and smores cake for dessert and the cheesecake was delicious. My main issue was the drinks and slow service. I had the rose and my husband and the smoke drink off the menu. The first two times it arrived the same the third was drastically different even to me the non drinker. We addressed with the server who was so sweet but the I'm assuming drink manager who did not introduce herself came to the table very hostile saying she made the third and the other two were incorrect and only offered to add mezcal. As someone who worked in restaurant previously I was shocked they would be so comabitjve and would have handled it with grace offering to have the other bartender remake and discuss how to have consistency moving forward. Our sweet server had it remade by the original bartender and it was the same as the first two. Very odd experience for a restaurant we once loved and will be looking for new go to spots in the area. read more

We've been searching for the perfect burger, and it might be the Herd Burger! My fiancé grabbed takeout and loved the interior - he also had a great experience with their staff and has been encouraging us to go back together and eat indoors. We got the veggie burger, herd burger, and Brussels sprouts. Everything was phenomenal! Because the toppings were so spot-on, even the veggie burger felt close to a classic burger. They both just had that indescribable burger-ness I've been searching for. I'm really picky about burger buns, and these buns weren't dry, were perfectly toasted, and chewy in the best way. The Brussels sprouts were well cooked (which is hard to do), and the sauce was delicious. I thought the prices were really good too. I don't think I'd pay an upcharge for the beef tallow fries again, but maybe I should give them another chance. I just didn't taste that much of a difference between them and normal fries. They were still 5/5 though. read more

Amazing service and food! I was visiting my friend and we got the tallow fries and brussel sprouts to start. I swear, they were the best brussel sprouts I've ever had in my life! The sauce is incredible. The steak was really good too. Our server was so nice, and hilarious! I forget her name but she's young and blonde and was working Thursday night 2/6. She's AWESOME! Will definitely be back here read more

This was my first time visiting Herd Provisions. The party I was with have been here many times and they all raved about the hamburgers. However, you couldn't find the burger on any of the menus that were provided. Apparently you can only view burger options via their website, which I found odd, especially if they are so popular. I did order the double burger with the brussels as a side and both were really good! The service on this particular evening left a lot to be desired but the waitress was nice when she was around. I'll definitely come back but will try to sit in the bar area for better service. read more

I live practically around the corner and have been at least 5 or 6 times, so while browsing through my yelp, I was astonished that I have never reviewed it before. So excuse me while I try to roll all my visits into one review. This is 1. a butcher shop in the front. I have yet to use that portion, so I can't speak to it - YET. And 2. an amazing neighborhood gem of a restaurant that can't be overlooked. Our most recent visit we shared the steakhouse salad - that didn't come with steak on it, but they were kind enough to bring us an extra side of steak to go with it and gnocchi bolognese that took my breath away. This was just heaven to bite into each and every time. We also managed to share a smores cake/pie dessert that was complete indulgence. The cocktail list is always ingenious and a lovely wine list as well. Other things you must eat - the crispy brussels, the poutine and the chicken sandwich at lunch time. This place just never disappoints. read more

This farm to table restaurant takes food to the next level! I went during happy hour which had a nice selection of cocktails and small bites. I tried the beef fat fries and bbq burger. Both were absolutely outstanding. There was so much flavorful and cooked to perfection. The indoor and outdoor seating is quaint, inviting and modern at the same time. The staff was very attentive and kind. read more

Awesome atmosphere and great food! Checked them out for happy hour and wasn't disappointed. Best brussel sprouts I've had in a long time. Wings and poutine were tasty as well. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the cheese steak. Highly recommend the shrub+vodka to wash it down with. The old fashioned wasn't great and a bit of a fly problem outside, but not much you can do about nature. Surprisingly vast interior compared to what you see outside. Modern esthetic, but not fancy. Second floor seating looks first floor and out full wall windows. Nice to have a scenic view in the middle of downtown. Separate area for your to go local provisions: meats, jams, mugs, candles etc. Happy hour 4-6. Plenty of parking across the street read more

Loved the atmosphere - so fun and the music was Great! Our server, Isabel, was super attentive and friendly. The host was friendly, but did not give his name as we walked to our table. It would have been nice to be a bit more friendly. Food was fabulous - we had the Tallow fries (amazing) the Summer Salad (SO good - with poached shrimp and green goddess dressing) and the 18 oz dry aged ribeye with the whipped mashed potatoes. If you don't happen to know the difference between dry aged and wet aged, it's all in the flavor. Dry aged has a more earthy nutty taste and is a bit more solid. We ended with handmade French press coffee served right at our table, and a tawny port for me! We highly recommend Herd, and will definitely be back to try their Burger Bar! read more

We recently ate dinner at Herd Provisions, our server, Isabelle was so sweet and gave us recommendations that were spot on. We shared the 6 oz tenderloin that was very tender and came with a sauce that complimented it perfectly. We also shared the Malfada pasta with shrimp and fresh vegetables in an amazing sauce! Asparagus and blueberry cornbread were to die for. The ambience was great, they have indoor and outdoor seating, the setting was comfortable enough for casual dress. read more

Incredible 10/10. Vibes and food wildly good. Jill was the sweetest most attentive waiter. HIGHLY recommend!

What a lovely hidden gem in Hampton Park. It's so hard finding vegetarian friendly places around Charleston and we were pleasantly surprised to see they had some delicious veggie options on the menu. Nicely designed space with a cool bar, prompt and friendly service. We did run into some flies outside so we were relocated inside without a problem. Loved the Brussels sprouts and whipped ricotta, would love to come back and try their other veggie sides too. The mushroom entree was pretty tasty as well. read more

Worth the visit, e day at the bar and had dinner and a couple of drinks. The steak was great as we expected for a meat shop and perfectly cooked. My tilefish social was slightly on the deli side but was good once you removed the skin and just ate the flesh. The broth and vegetables were really good - butter beans were really good. Overall s good experience and will come again. The food came out hot so it was clear it had been cooked to order, a huge positive for restaurants in Charleston. read more

Hands down best burger I've ever had! Brussel spouts & fries are also up in the running for the best! Great cocktails and beer. Lovely happy hour specials. Best butchered meat. Cute patio. Favorite date night spot. Friendly staff. I could go on & on about this place, so please try it! read more

Absolutely love this place, amazing food and drinks, perfect service. I was a happy hour regular and absolutely loved what they had to offer. As of today they completely got rid of all their good happy hour food deals and I am shocked that they would have gotten rid of their 50 cent wings, deviled eggs, and hand pies as that's the main draw for business. Spirits are noticeably lower in the restaurant. Hoping something will change soon. read more

Epic lunch menu. The burger is one of my favs around town and super affordable! The scenery is great and low key and laid back.

I've been to herd before and had a wonderful experience some months ago. The food is excellent, as it was tonight the same. I was excited to return and did so this evening, but was unfortunately disappointed. It pains me to say there was a questionable lack of service and hospitality. I am a very understanding guest and have no problem being patient when staff are busy, but the restaurant was remarkably empty and staff did not seem interested in servicing their guests. I don't think I would have been compelled to say anything except for the fact at the end of the meal, we sat for 5-10 min waiting to cash out as our server sat in eye view eating dinner entirely disinterested in the status of her guests. Ultimately, I had to approach the bartender to do so. I really hope the restaurant can take this feedback and adjust accordingly. I do plan on returning and hope for a better experience. read more

My friends and I do a monthly social distancing, support local, have a couple drinks night on Saturday. I was in charge of food pick up. They all ordered the Herd burger and I got us the charcuterie board and Brussels to share. Just like the last guy said in his comments, (summed up better by my friends and I). the burger was a joke. It was a hockey puck. A frozen piece of meat that you would find at a minor league bball game. I couldn't believe how bad it was... I would really like to hear what they use for hamburger meat. And all we want to do is support local. Depressing when this is what happens. The shining light and the reason for two stars were the Brussels. So much flavor and cooked perfect! read more

Okay, overall, I was disappointed with this dinner. It fell short of expectations. And given what my friends had told me about it, the price of the food ($$$), and the whole farm to table thing, I expected more. That said, the experience was not all negative by any means, so I will share both what I liked and what let me down. What I liked: The dry-rub chicken wings were phenomenal. These taste like the chicken came from the back yard, and were cooked perfectly-most on the inside, easy to pull off the bone, and crispy with a bit of spice on the outside. I wish I had just ordered them as my meal and didn't have to share the app with everyone else! They also make their own ranch, which tastes fresh, is full of flavor, and cools your tongue, which is good because the wings have a kick! I liked the $10 glass of Maision Phillipe Viallete, which the server recommended for it being light and slightly smokey. I loved when they accidentally poured and extra glass and gave it to our table for free (: The fries were also great. What I was disappointed by: the Leaping Waters Steak Frite was a miss. The market steak was so expensive, and came out over cooked and lacking in flavor. As far as a cut of beef went, I was simply let down. It was a big cut of meat too. The meal was mostly fries. Granted, the fries were great, but no vegetable side? Overall, the meal was not well balanced. I was also not impressed with the Brussels sprouts, and would pass next time. They are usually my favorite vegetable to order out, but these were a bit burnt. I also hated how high the AC was going. It made it hard to sit still and enjoy a conversation. Next reservation we make we will ask to be outside shards of time. I would go again and try some other dishes. I've also heard dessert is good, so that's on my list! read more

We visited Herd provisions for a ladies night out. We had reservations for a table for 6 and we were shown to our table promptly. The cocktail and wine list is impressive, I stuck to beer and wine, and the rose was particularly good and perfectly chilled. There was music in the patio which, was a little too loud to have a conversation and we had to scream across the tables at times. There was also a sort of cauldron fire-pit going on, which was more annoying that anything on a windy day when we were doused on smoke. I am unsure of the purpose of it since it was a warmer day and not really a fire pit to sit around.. We shared a bunch of food for the table and we got to try a good variety of dishes. My absolute favorite was the Brussels sprouts which were crispy and cooked very well with a lot of flavor. The Beef Tartar came next and it was a great dish cooked with delicious beef which is the specialty of the house. The not so amazing dishes in my opinion were the Goat cheese ravioli.. It lacked flavor and with it had more salt or garlic or something to make it a little less bland; and the burger, which was a good beef patty but it felt tiny compared to the size of the bun. It was just a weird bread to meat ratio in my opinion. The fries were legit though! For dessert we tried the tiramisu, which was excellent and a great portion to share amongst the group. Service was excellent and I am glad to see more spots like this opening around downtown. read more

I've bookmarked this spot for a long time and finally ventured out last night. The food menu is toothsome and appealing and the staff is friendly and quick. The biggest perk - private parking right across the restaurant! Can't get better access than that downtown! The front end of the restaurant sells meats, cheeses, wine, and some other odds and ends. Reservations are recommended but I was able to snag a spot at the bar. The interior is pretty cozy and loved their comfy high top chairs at the bar. The drink menu has a variety of drinks to appease all kinds of whistles. I really admired their beer menu and the flavor notes that accompany each brand. The drink prices are common for the Lowcountry so be sure to budget and expect to drop $$$ for it like $10 for a can of beer. Highly recommend this spot for yummy bites! read more

We are hard to please, true dat. So far everything coming out of this kitchen is tops! Bartender Sebastian is great. Manager Kennedy on top of it. Try the empanadas (hand pies). Fish dip killer. Great happy hour though early. Dry aged steaks are phenomenal. read more

The drinks are crazy expensive if you are a margarita person like me! I ordered a Margarita with a Grand Mariner float and it was $25 not expecting that...it's a Margarita. Lol! The poutine fries were good but the mussels were better. The Brussel sprouts were delicious. The Beef fat Olives were okay but definitely an acquired taste as they were a bit strong in flavor. The herd burger was perfect! But who can Jack up a burger! We tried some desserts as well that were pretty average. I thoroughly enjoyed it. May have been because it had been a while since I ate red meat but this hit the the spot! The owner did not seem like a friendly person. Not sure if we caught him on a bad day but his attitude gave me the impression of "Why are you talking to me?" Very weird interaction with our group of four. Luckily it was toward the end of our evening, so I was still able to enjoy an evening with friends! read more
