They said they had fish on their menu but when we were sat after waiting over a half hour! We asked about Shrimp which. They said they were out of it. The waitress was not to blame bc they were short handed on staff! We just decided to goto a place Across the street to a different place! In the plaza We won't be back sorry to say! It's not worth the hassle! read more

One time visit for lunch. I was visiting SC for a work training. The new location was quite accommodating. The owner informed us location was new and since we arrived right at lunch opening, some items might not be available or may take a bit for preparation. No worries, we ordered what was available and enjoyed the visit. I had the Geechie fried chicken wings. They were tasty and served hot out of the fryer. The venue appears to be family owned and operated. Very friendly and recommended to visit. read more

Nigel's Good Food is tucked back in a small apartment complex off of Foster Creek Road in Hanahan SC. It is a small no thrills restaurant that provides indoor and outdoor seating. I received wonderful service and was seated Quickly. Nigel's offer southern comfort foods at its best. The Fried chicken was on point. They offer white meat or a dark meat option. The cornbread is sweet and moist large enough to feed 2 people. The food came out hot and fresh. I was not a fan of the mash potatoes and gravy. The potatoes were kind of dry and the gravy was salty for my taste. Their plate offers 1 Meat choice with 3 sides. The price point is good for the amount of food you are served. I would recommend you try the establishment. read more

Dropped by and tried another dish. I had the ravioli and it was interesting. The appearance itself was not very attractive but the taste was great. I did need a piece of bread to finish it off because I like to dip my bread into sauce. There weren't too many people around but the service was quite good. read more

This place was great! Food took a bit to come out but that was probably due to being cooked to order because everything was hot when it came out. All tasted delicious! The cornbread was huge! A bit dry but tasted good. Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were great. Wish i would have gotten the collards to try. Next time! Country fried steak was fork tender and had excellent flavor. Will be back! read more

An hour for a to go order?? The ticket on my app reads it was ready 20 minutes ago. One cook moving slow. Understaffed, LOUD atmosphere.

Ok- so this place had me really confused. It looks so cute from the outside but the inside is pretty dank and dreary. The shrimp n grits was really good, fried chicken was just ok. The wings (geechy) was not good- they were too sweet. Banana pudding was delicious. I would have liked more consistency in the shrimp n grits. read more

Great new family restaurant in town. Wonderful food cooked to perfection. Indoor & outdoor seating. Nice bar. Excellent staff. HURRY DOWN & beat the crowd. I've been to his restaurant off Cosgrove oops (MY MISTAKE ACTUALLY OFF ASHLEY PHOSPHATE RD ) & can't wait to go to his BBQ place. We had some of his BBQ. Delicious & collard greens to die for thank you for sharing BROOKIE! I will be back for another visit! Thanks Scotty read more

I was very disappointed in my lunch. I ordered a burger, but requested no grilled onions as it was listed on the menu. No problem- get my burger and it was very well done when I ordered medium and it tasted very much like onions. I even saw some in my burger. Yes, in. I didn't continue eating and asked if there were onions IN it to which they advised me that there were onions mixed in with the chuck. Had I known this I wouldn't have ordered it. I'm not alright, I just really don't like them- but what if I was! I said no onions... So I feel like it should have been told to be about onions being in the burger itself. The fries were solid. I asked for them to be well done, to which they weren't, but they were pretty good. Great flavor. The staff consisted of two people checking tables and it was very slow to get any service. I'm not sure if I'll be back to try it again since it left a bad taste in my mouth (both literally and figuratively). read more

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Hanahan is widely considered to be a Charleston classic, and it lives up to at least the hole-in-the-wall aspect in that it's a dimly-lit, almost small-cafeteria-like setting. The food, though, is a different story. I will begin by saying that it's difficult to give an accurate opinion of Nigel's because they were out of quite a bit of food on the night I went -- the Geechie wings, notably, which I'd very much wanted to give a go. The server was quite friendly about this, though, and offered insight to the alternatives. The plate I got consisted of country fried steak, mac 'n cheese, cornbread, collard greens, and I also tried the fried tomatoes as an alternative appetizer (which were the best of all these -- fried to perfection). I found the mac 'n cheese somewhat and cornbread to be very dry which was disappointing. Notably, it seemed that many of the tables left barely-eaten cornbread on their plates for the servers to pick up. Not my favorite collard greens either --- the juice just had a peculiar taste to it. I will be back to try these Geechie wings and possibly some other sides. Will leave an updated review once I do. read more

**Poorly Managed and Deeply Disappointing Experience** Nigel's Good Food - Bowen is in serious need of attention. What should have been a casual meal turned into a frustrating and uncomfortable experience from start to finish. The restaurant was dirty--something as basic as the salt shakers hadn't been wiped down in a long time. There was a *two-hour* wait for food, and when it finally came out, it was cold and underwhelming. Dishes were brought to the table at different times, and several menu items were completely unavailable: no fries, no dark meat chicken, no chicken fingers, no soda, no juice, no vodka. They were even out of napkins and CO2. It's hard to believe a restaurant can be this unprepared. Our server, Autumn, was as kind and apologetic as she could be, but the reality is that the experience as a whole was unacceptable. Good service can't make up for a fundamentally broken operation. This location feels forgotten. Unless serious changes are made--and soon--it's hard to imagine it staying open much longer. Good luck! - Andy and party of four - read more

I ordered from them twice in the last week through doordash cause they are in the list to order from. Both times it's been cancelled due to store being closed for the day. If your closed, remove yourself from door dash, it's that simple. Love Nigels and am a regular customer but they just lost my business ​ read more

Meh, it is okay. Not sure if I would go again. Zero draft beer choices. Bottle or can beer choices none existent. Bummer. Soup of the Day - "Sorry, we do not have soup, it has been to hot". Huh, um okay? I went with the suggestion of our server - Low Country Ravioli. The flavor was to die for. The whiskey cream sauce with the corn, black eyed peas was awesome, the flavor just works. The ravioli are large, with a nice amount of cheese stuffing..... My only gripe - please add more chicken. The grilled chicken is diced into very small shredded chicken, as in, I had to search for the chicken. My wife got the Whiting. The fish was served with some sort of dill/butter topping. Way to salty, the flavor was off. This piece of fish was way to fishy, just not good. I tried it and was not impressed. The mac-n-cheese was decent. read more

Star was friendly. Service was slow though. We were disappointed in the atmosphere of the third of Nigel's restaurants. The food is barely diner level although the pride is not cheap. They serve plenty of food, but it's not worth the price. While there, another customer came for take out and asked for extra salad dressing and waited quite a while for it. She finally left after not receiving it. The place was. It busy so we're not sure why the service was slow. read more

The food was amazing. I went for the Yelp event to celebrate the new location. I had the shrimp and grits w/ sausage that was so delicious and very tasty. I also had the chicken and waffles. I don't know what it was about those waffles but they were DELICIOUS. I will definitely be visiting one of the locations for them again. read more

Made my first visit to the new Hanahan Nigel's location recently with some girlfriends for lunch. We all got different orders and oohed and aahed over each others' meals. I went with the Lowcountry salad ($12.95) with grilled chicken (+$8) on top, and it was enough food to last me for 3 lunches! It was the perfect choice for lunch and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Major disappointment! We waited over an hour for our food and we were the only people dining in the entire time we were there. When the food finally came, it was not good. The red rice was dry and didn't have a piece of sausage in it. I had ordered a double order of it. I had to ask the waitress about the missing sausage. She brought some out from the kitchen and it was cold. White meat fried chicken was ordered. It ended up being 4 wings. I asked the waitress about that. She told me that it was white meat. Gee, I knew that. But, there should have been a breast and wing. The cornbread was dry and crumbly. This is the last time I will eat there. Had I never been before, I would have still had a bad impression. However, I had been there many times and knew how the orders should be. They did not have items on the menu although there is a Lowe's Foods across the street where they could have purchased whatever they needed. Pathetic!!!!! read more

Nigels is relatively new in Hanahan. Hadn't heard much but the little bit I had heard was very positive. My father & his wife were in town for a few days and wanted to have dinner. Since none in my family had been I decided to give it a try. The establishment is small but cozy comfortable. There were 5 of us but only 4 eating. We looked over the menu and placed our orders. Service was quick, portions were generous and the food was delicious. True southern confort food. Everyone left full with plenty of leftovers. The prices were quite reasonable when considering portions and the quality of food. I cannot recommend this place enough. We will be frequent diners. read more

First time visiting this location. Came for a grand opening / Yelp event. I've been to the other 2. Expected nothing short of great food and that's what I got! Red rice (one of my favorite dishes btw) was really good! chicken drummettes were fried and seasoned to perfection! Also enjoyed the okra & seafood rice. the staff were very friendly and hospitable!! I appreciate that when dining anywhere! Constantly checking in on us to make sure we were good and offering to take our trash away. bar drinks were really good as well. inside wasnt that big but none of the locations are which is fine because it gives that family dining feel; as if you are home. this location also has outside seating areas which is always a plus! read more

My daughter and I thought we'd stop in the new location and check it out! We go to the Ashley phosphate locate regularly and have been to Ladson. Pulling up we were impressed by the exterior and building is beautiful. Inside is a bit small but nice and clean and it looked like a nice bar area. I was saddened to learn there is no koolaid at this location and was informed the fried chicken was different than the other locations. I asked if it's the same owner and she said yes. I found that odd . And I was super sad there was no Lima beans and rice plate like the other location. We did get the fried chicken and it just seemed less seasoned than the other locations and did taste different. My daughter didn't like it. I had the country fried steak. It was good and the gravy was flavorful. The piece of cornbread I had was hard as a brick. I showed it to the server who said it was like that today. Disappointing because I love their cornbread!! We may try back again but we definitely like the original the best! Their sweet tea was good too! read more

We just moved to the area from Myrtle Beach. Trust me when I tell you I have had my fair share of some really good soul food in the past. But let me be 100% honest, this is the absolute best of the best when it comes to soul food. the chicken is fried to perfection and extremely juicy, the cornbread is thick and so so moist, the collards and Mac and cheese are seasoned and cooked so well. Their prices are very fair priced for the amount of food they give you. The customer service was amazing and they are very polite. I have absolutely no complaints about this food or the staff there and will make sure to recommend everyone I can to this place. read more

The chicken and biscuits was amazing. The biscuit was buttery and fluffy. I was worried about having peas with gravy but the peas really make it. You can tell they use fresh vegetables and not canned. My wife got the country fried steak and she really liked because it wasn't to thick and lightly fried compared to other restaurants they use a heavy batter for country fried steak. Everything was really good and alll the staff were so nice, quick and friendly. Definitely want to go back and try the ravioli next time. read more

There service could improve I came in and told them I wanted to feed 5 people the had absolutely no suggestions for me. Like maybe buy 4 appetizers and an entree something. So I decided to spend the $15 on the geechee wings I think that's how the where spelt the tasted cool and I took me money to another establishment that actually wanted my money. Spent $130 that this place did not even try earn. I won't be back read more

The pork chop was SALTY. Mashed potatoes were cold. Corn and macaroni cheese was seasoned. Server not friendly. Not the Nigels i am use to.

Run, don't walk to this location! It is smaller than the Ashley Phosphate location. Homey, funky and a little intimate. The food is delicious! Every bit as good as the original Nigel's. I had my favorite for lunch...Whiskey Shrimp. And, of course, I had to take home an order of cornbread. They are located in Tanner Plantation... the second left turn, in a group of shops with a coffeehouse.The area is lovely and a great hidden treasure. Please know that the menu is just slightly limited from the AP menu. But, they still have most of the staples! I will be visiting this location again!
