Wow. I was not expecting to be THIS impressed with a burger joint, but here we are!…read more My husband and I came in on a crowded Friday night. We started with some of the best and definitely BIGGEST onion rings I've ever had in my life!! They were coated in a thick delicious batter, perfectly fried and served with two dipping sauces. I already want to come back just to have these again! Then we both ordered the barburger and a side of sweet potato fries to share. The burger was amazing and had that "melt-in-your-mouth" taste I couldn't get enough of; we were both talking about this burger for days! And the sweet potato fries were also perfect. They didn't forget to make the sides just as good as the entrees here. We'll be back sooner than later. Definitely check this place out if you're a burger fanatic! ;)

I've had almost everything from the apps, to smash burgers and salads and you can't go wrong. They have a great drink selection and some of my favorite margaritas. The staff is always very friendly and the prices are great. It's a great spot for any occasions. Including family outings. There is a big outdoor section that includes a stage, fire pit, picnic tables and what used to be axe throwing (not sure if they still do this though). Definitely check it out next time you're coming back from Folly Beach.

Style inside is an eclectic mixed of different styles. We started with the fried pickles which I usually like but these were t quite to my taste. Just a personal preference thing, I feel like the pickles inside were more of a deli style pickle than an off the shelf super briny dill? But still good. I had the Getting Smash Burger which I really enjoyed, and the burger sauce (I think just ketchup and mayo) fit perfectly. My kids loved their burgers and fries. My onion rings were the big chunky kind which I like. We all left room for dessert and I am glad I did. The donut ice cream that my daughter had looked super unique. My pecan pie was the first time I've had in a long time that didn't just taste like corn syrup and fake vanilla flavor. Really nice place! J.Ja

This has been a go-to restaurant for us for years. Alas…read more.. We had a bad experience a few months ago, they were out of fries, out of pepperoni... didn't tell us until our pepperoni pizza came out without pepperoni.... Just sort of a fiasco. They apologized, told us they'd had a busy night the night before and gave us a $15 gift certificate to make up for it. Went again tonight to give them a chance to redeem themselves (and redeem the certificate). My son pointed to the nightly special burger on the table placard ("Backyard Burger" literally the only thing printed on it) and asked for it by name. We also ordered a few pizzas a salad and some fries. When the order came out... no burger or fries. We were finished eating and ready to go when they brought out two burgers, but the wrong ones (California Burgers). Whatever, mistakes happen. I waited tables for ten years. My issue is that after we sent those two wrong burgers back... we never saw the waiter or manager again. They sent the poor hostess out to settle the check while they hid in the back. It's a shame because the food is solid, but we probably won't be back.

I was kind of surprised how the Harlow on James Island has stayed under the radar…read more This neighborhood restaurant and bar is loaded with charm and perhaps some of the friendliest staff around. They are a burger/oyster bar with a diverse menu that has unique offerings. As far as I know this is the only true oyster bars on the Island. There are plenty of restaurants that serve raw oysters but no with a wide-ranging selection of oysters from various locales. I don't care for raw oysters myself, but I saw a lot being served. We started with cocktails with my wife ordering the "Don't Call It a Skinny" with Tequila, Guava, Lime, Agave, and Lime Salt. They say try it spicy if you are feeling feisty and she was. The drink was light with a wonderful back heat on the end. I enjoyed the Smoked Praline Sour with rye, hazelnut, Montenegro, praline, citrus and bitters with a nice smoke for added flavor. It tasted just like a praline, and I had a tough time getting it back after my wife had a try, We ordered some fried oysters Buffalo style with a ranch sauce for dipping. Being an oyster bar they were very fresh and full of flavor. Our favorite starter was the popular Jam Jar with ricotta cheese and seasonal jam with toasty bread. The jam was tomato and our server gave us a great pro-tip. Empty the bowl it comes in and dump the contents of the jar then swirl the two together then spoon it up on the bread. It was absolutely delicious and can't be missed! We decided to get a couple of burgers which are a mixture of brisket, chuck and short rib. I got the Harlow burger which has American Cheese, Comeback Sauce, Pickles, and Shredded Lettuce. I was pleased that instead of a smash burger which everyone seems to do these days, it was a thick juicy burger. It was so juicy I needed to wipe my hands and mouth after each bite. The comeback sauce was unique and definitely added to the spectacular flavor I was experiencing. Poe's used to be my thick burger go to and they have been dethroned! My wife chose the Southern Roots with Bacon, Pimento, Shredded Lettuce, and Pickled Green Tomatoes. It was obvious that the pimento cheese was homemade and packed with cheesy goodness. The fries were perfect burger fries being neither steak nor shoestring but just perfectly crispy and light, similar but better than McDonalds in every way. Zach, the general manager came over to chat for a bit and offer us a complimentary cocktail to try. The Section 112 was Bourbon, tarragon, preach, bitters, and a streusel foam. They purposely leave out a straw so that you taste that foam with each sip. I couldn't have had a better time. Friendly service that was top notch. Drinks that were creative as well as fulfilling and food that will linger in my collective memories for a long time. You need to make a reservation as they are so popular that walk ins may have a tough time.

This is one of those locally owned, family-run restaurants that reminds you exactly why you should support small businesses. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Chef John freshly prepared the Pork Schnitzel, and it was outstanding! The pork cutlets were perfectly tender on the inside with a beautiful, crispy golden breading, topped with freshly diced red peppers and green onions. It was served with lemon wedges, creamy mashed potatoes. Tasted like fresh from the garden cut onions, bell peppers, zucchini and caramelized onions sautéed. Everything tasted fresh and made with care -- not like something that came out of a freezer or was simply reheated. You can tell there is fresh and real pride going into the food here. And then came dessert... WOW! We tried the freshly made Crème Brûlée Donut and Strawberry Cheesecake, and they were seriously TO DIE FOR! The Crème Brûlée Donut was unlike anything I've had before, and the strawberry cheesecake was absolutely delicious. We couldn't decide which one we liked better! From the freshly prepared food to the desserts, friendly service and great atmosphere, The Southern General is the kind of hidden gem you want to tell everyone about. If you're visiting or anywhere near Johns Island, South Carolina, put this restaurant on your list. Come hungry, save room for dessert, and definitely try Chef John's Pork Schnitzel. We will absolutely be back to try more food on the menu! Especially, his Chilean sea bass 10/10 -- highly recommend!
