The large smokers caught our attention as we were passing by, with smoke billowing out--and the aroma of delicious smoked meat made us turn around and stop in. They were so nice and helpful with the food choices, and a special touch was the cook presenting the food to us before bagging the boxes for us to go. He was also very helpful in suggesting a cool (and apparently little known) picnic spot by the river! Perfect! I can't wait to go back! If you love BBQ, this place is the real deal.

As I'm typing my review, I note that I've been ignored here and I'm not the only one. A long wait for the owner to come downstairs from making a call to provide the Guest WiFi. A table of 2 that came in after me got their food before mine, while I was sitting twiddling my thumbs with nothing to do. The lady who took my order came by exactly once, to deliver my check. No offer of a water refill. After waiting a long time she finally came back and asked if I want dessert, but left without taking my order or hearing my question (wine cake?). She is responsible for this bad review and losing more business from me and other customers who also were sitting and waiting. "Have you ever waited tables before?" No, but I've had great service at many places, and this wasn't it. Unfortunately that's where I'm setting it: Don't reward bad service with your money.

Since I really only eat one big meal a day I was hoping this'd do. I gave it a shot. Had to park behind the restaurant because I didn't see any parking up front. Nice place. Looks like at night it could be a jumping little spot for drinks. I ordered something simple, fried chicken with yams, greens, and Mac. Great choice! Food was hot and tasty. Good portions too at a decent price. I only had water. If I come back up here I'd hit it again. It's not in the cut but across the river. Good food and good people.

The french fries were freshly made and delicious, salads looked extremely fresh, and the service was quick with a great attitude. The restaurant and bathroom was clean and without any bad odors, wonderful value for lunch. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries as you can see in my photos. Come hungry!

My personal favorite sauce was WV Gold, but they're all quite good. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful by itself. Good friendly service.

First time dining here, and I couldn't imagine us ever coming back. Really disappointed. The…read morereviews were so good, we thought this was going to be great. We were in visiting on a work trip and we were looking for some great food. First off, the venue space is nice. I really liked the atmosphere and vibe. Unfortunately, things kind of didn't start well and they just went downhill from there. We were looking at the higher dollar menu items like the seabass and scallops. They had a scallops special that caught our attention but the chef wouldn't budge on the menu sides. We were looking for something lower carb. What I wanted was the scallop dinner with the special miso sauce, but instead of the sweet potato hash, I wanted veggies. But the server said the chef said no. Based on that, we both ended up ordering a hamburger. It wasn't what we wanted but we felt it was the safest option based on the quality of the appetizer. You see, we had ordered some calamari and it was so bad we had to send it back. It was nothing but hard crunchy batter. There was very little calamari actually in the pieces. You couldn't even pierce it with your fork. It was horrible. Based on the quality and flavor of the calamari, we decided to not take the risk on sea bass or scallops. The burgers came out and they were ok. Nothing special. I've read through some of the other reviews about the complaints of how salty the food is, and I can confirm the food we had was way over salted. Now for the service. This was a really awkward and uncomfortable night. The server was trying but he honestly didn't fit the price point of the menu. Each interaction was more awkward than the next. The things he would say and the way he communicated, made us so confused and uncomfortable. He was a nice guy, he just probably isn't a good fit as a server. We've had good meals in Charleston before, tonight wasn't one of them. The martinis we had were good, but we walked out of there only spending $70, while we had a budget of $125 each to spend. This restaurant lost out on $180 worth of business all because they didn't want to budge on the scallops dish. Do the math, this wasn't a smart business decision.

Who were polite, if not very welcoming to this non-local. They brought menus, rattled off the happy hour specials and took my order quickly, but then ... nothing much. No, "You're not from around here, are you?" or anything like it. On the plus side, the hazy IPA was quite good. Lots of stone fruit with only a moderate amount of hops. And the mini-corn dog appetizers BLEW ME AWAY! Better than I've had at many a county fair, and corn dogs are my weakness. These were hot, the breading nice and golden, and brought with mustard for dipping. All told, the prices were good. Less than $10 before tip for the happy hour specials, which were tasty.
