    Barnyard BBQ SMASH
    Taryn W.

    Tried out The Fort. We went Saturday between lunch and dinner (around 2) and were seated right away. We started with the fried banana pepper app. The breading was light and crispy- not dense and greasy, which was great. The peppers themselves didn't have much flavor but it was still enjoyable. We each got a burger (hearing they were great). My wife is a burger conisour and unfortunately, this one didn't wow her. Neither of us were super impressed with the burgers. I thought the meat was delicious and well seasoned but the whole burger was meh. The star of the show (for us) were the hand cut fries. They were cooked to perfection and dusted with a wonderful seasoning combination. I think we will come back to try the steaks and some of the other good looking items the menu holds. The atmosphere was super laid back and inviting. TVs surrounded the dining room so you won't miss a second of the game!

    Just stopped in for a quick bite and it was a good experience. Their wedge salad was fresh and very tasty. The olives add a nice touch.

    We got the Buffalo parm wings, 1/2 order of cheese fries (hand cut and delicious) corn dogs and a side of asparagus for our daughter and a chicken sandwich.

    This is a quaint restaurant with a small open seating room. There is outdoor seating in the front…read moreas well as the back of the restaurant, with more shade. The wait can be 20-30 minutes during prime dinner hours, and the food wait can also be lengthy. Plan on enjoying a few hours here and don't be in a rush once you get here. Let's talk about the food. They have gluten free options and anything can be made gluten free according to the staff. They also have some vegetarian options. I love burgers, and honestly, it's hard to beat a handmade beyond smashburger. This restaurant currently does not offer another veggie substitute other than the Portobello mushroom. It was good, with the added goat cheese, but would have rather had a burger substitute with mushrooms added on top. The fries are great! Perfectly fried with golden crunch in every bite. The garlic aioli is the perfect dipping sauce. I ordered a ranch side as well and it's good, but the aioli is the best choice in my opinion. Great local restaurant with a burger for everyone.

    Great experience here. Really the majority of the 5 stars goes to Amy S, who was our waitress…read more Not to take anything away from the food or the ambiance or the opposite wall hung paintings of Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald from Breakfast Club. But Amy was very good with answering our questions and giving her opinions on various dishes, as well as her interactions with Oliver We started with some wings with house hot sauce and an order of cheddar and candied jalapeño fries. Both were very good, the candied jalapeños had a nice heat but were not rude. I had a Cubano sammich, as you know I am a sucker for these and once again - no plancha!! This one wasn't even squished in a George Foreman grill. Just served on a (good and tasty and crunchy) bread. Oliver had a cheeseburger and fries, and the table order was rounded out with a braised beef sandwich. That was declared by Amy as the number 1 sandwich at the place. Oh jeez I almost forgot - they've got several beers and Amy was again a font of knowledge asking us what kinds of beers we liked and helping craft suggestions based upon what we liked.

    My boyfriend and I were passing through Charleston, WV during our roadtrip and looking for dinner…read moreduring the work week. I wanted to try something new and interesting and through my Yelp research I found this spot. It's located in downtown with metered street parking free Monday-Saturday nights after 6pm and all of Sunday. Luckily, we were able to find a spot easily. Inside was modern and relatively clean. We had to wait a little bit to be seated as they were pretty busy; however, this place had a decent amount of seating and space. Service was good overall, but it wasn't as consistent as I would've liked for actions such as water refills, asking for extra napkins, etc. This was partly because they were very busy that night. They have a variety of food options - apps, salads, sandwiches, pies (pizzas), and dessert. We ended up ordering a large pizza (thin crust) to split - half Thai and half Chicken Gouda. Both were yummy although the crust was a tad burnt - nothing bad to the extent that taking bites were an effort. Overall, I preferred the Thai since I've never come across a Thai style pizza and I could really taste the curry sauce. The only downside of the Thai was that the shrimp were slightly overcooked, which could be potentially explained by us ordering a pizza split in two styles with them cooking the entire pizza evenly versus what is needed for each ingredient. We finished the entire pizza between the two of us, but I could see someone having some leftovers. If possible, they might want to do some minor pest management. The entire time of our visit a fruit fly or gnat was hovering around us and the food. We tried to catch it and protect the food, only for it to ultimately take a permanent dip in my water. My overall assessment was that it was a good place to try in the city. It's not something I would crave, but I wouldn't mind coming back again if I was in the area.

    Hale House is truly a Charleston gem. They were completely booked, but we lucked out with a couple…read moreof seats at the bar--and it ended up being the best seat in the house. The bar staff was outstanding from start to finish. We had a few different bartenders taking care of us, and each one was attentive, friendly, and great at helping with recommendations. We ordered the New York steak and the Brussels sprouts special. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium, and the Brussels sprouts hit that ideal balance--crispy, flavorful, and just right. Everything we had was packed with flavor. The drinks didn't miss either--ice-cold beer and expertly crafted cocktails all around. If you find yourself in Charleston, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend.

Loved the loaded asparagus, but I wish it had been a more generous portion. Chicken and cauliflower was well seasoned. The chicken was tender and the grilled chicken sandwich was also a hit. The roasted red potatoes with kale pesto got great reviews from our dinner mates. Our server Ann was the tops! She was funny, personable and engaging. She read us well and made dinner most memorable! The picture is really a "secret"... you take your life into your hands going down into the "speak-cheesy!" The handrail was pretty rickety and the flooring really should be replaced.... It wouldn't affect the vibe at all... Loved my amaretto sour(s)!
