The Smoking Pot Nailed It!…read more Our family of 13 spent a week in IOP and one of the absolute highlights of the trip--a professional shrimp boil at our rental that completely exceeded every expectation! Our adult sons--who are serious foodies--were eager to try an authentic, professionally prepared shrimp boil, and we found The Smoking Pot. What an incredible experience it turned out to be! The Andrews are absolutely fantastic--so knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They definitely know their blue crabs! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing, the experience was so much fun, and they made it truly memorable for our entire family. We can't recommend The Smoking Pot enough! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and book them--you won't be disappointed!

After spending the day on the golf course, coming back to an incredible meal prepared right at our beach house was exactly what we needed. Everything was exceptional. The ingredients were fresh, the food was packed with flavor, and every detail was handled seamlessly. But what really stood out was the team behind it. They were warm, engaging, and genuinely invested in making sure our group had an unforgettable evening. Their hospitality made the experience feel personal, not just catered. In a weekend filled with great memories, this dinner was one of the moments everyone kept talking about. If you're visiting Folly Beach or the Charleston area with family or friends, do yourself a favor and book The Smoking Pot. It's more than a meal, it's an experience that brings people together, and one we'll be talking about for years to come.

Salthouse Catering was great to work with! I utilized their 6 person dinner package, which…read moreincluded SO much food. It fed 7 people (with plenty of leftovers). The menu included a charcuterie board, salad, caprese, chicken, lasagna, green beans, garlic bread, and so much more for around $400.

All ingredients were really high quality and everything tasted delicious! 10/10 recommend their professionalism and great quality food.

After speaking to a few different caterers on the phone, Salthouse was the obvious choice because we felt like they were really invested from the beginning, we weren't just another number to them. They asked personal, in-depth questions that made us feel confident that they were the people for the job. We wanted the food at our wedding to reflect Charleston's cuisine since we had a lot of out of town guests, and several guests said it was the best fried chicken and shrimp and grits they ever had. For cocktail hour, we had a beautiful Southern antipasto spread with biscuits, pimento cheese, and all the fixings. We were blown away during the tasting and they made everything so easy. They even coordinated the rentals for our linens through Snyder, which was a huge help. They were super professional and we had a perfect wedding day thanks to them. Highly recommend them for any event!

They had everything setup and ready prior to the event starting and kept everything in stock in well order throughout the event. All the food was tasty, but the spinach and artichoke mushrooms were especially good. The staff was very polite and helpful, ensuring that any trash was promptly cleared and offering to take anything no longer needed from the attendees. Based on my experience tonight, I would definitely recommend them for their excellence in service.

Front door. Love the kid sign... cute story...Chef's son named the place . This is a brilliant…read moreidea. Chef Chuck has some big names on his resume but the real seller is when you try his food. You've been warned, you'll crave it. The concept, home cooked meals that you grab and go. I believe he will even warm them up for you if you call about an hour ahead. He's been selling out of a lot of things lately so get there early if you can! The chicken salad is unlike any chicken salad I've ever had before. If I was a chef, maybe I could explain it better but this is not remotely close to what you get in the grocery store where someone plopped a can of chicken, mayo and pickles together. This has levels of flavors and I'm not even sure how to describe it.

Every quarter, our Scout Troop does a Court of Honor where we recognize the accomplishments of the girls from the last few months. Each Court of Honor is set up for a pot-luck dinner where each family brings in something to share. I thought about making mac n cheese myself, which I'm highly capable of doing, but thought, why not support a small business who I know can make some kick-ass mac for the girls. Pickup was easily scheduled and completed. I arrived at the event with a huge tray of gourmet mac n cheese, and I think maybe I brought enough back home for me to have as a side for my next meal. Total winner with the families involved in our event. Excellent flavors and texture in each bite. Would recommend The Good Cooker for meals at home or for catering any event in the future.

The food was amazing and the staff was incredible!! The bartenders were friendly, efficient and could make any drink our guests asked for. We had two signature drinks and they made them like pro's. Our guests didn't want to leave. The wedding reception on Saturday was at a location where you had to use their caterer, and there is a big difference in service. I HIGLY recommend FftSS!

Frank and I are grateful to have had Chef Chris cater our wedding reception in September of 2018…read more Since we live in Virginia and were unable to fly down to Charleston for tastings, we reached out to Chef Chris based on his online reviews. Thank goodness for the reviews! They were on point. Chef Chris was extremely professional and his food was amazing. Not only did Chef Chris provide the catering, but he also was the point person for my table, chairs, and linen rental and the bar service. Having Chef Chris as the point person was a life saver, giving me a single point of contact for multiple moving parts! Our wedding reception was held at out of town and very casual yacht club. It was a bit of a schlep from Charleston (about a 40 minute drive) and didn't have a freezer. Chef Chris brought *everything* he needed, including an ingenious way to keep ice cream without a freezer on site (not sure how he did it, but I assume I would have been impressed). His staff was terrific and multiple guests said the bar service staff was also wonderful. The food was perfect! We had the low-country boil and it was AMAZING! The shrimp were HUGE and the corn was crisp, potatoes were perfect, and the sausage was bursting. We also had pulled pork on soft buns, as well as salad and green beans. No wedding cake - we went with apple cobbler. All my guests commented on the food, during and after the wedding reception. Serving large groups is always a challenge, but Chef Chris made it seamless and so flavorful! Frank and I strongly recommend booking Chef Chris! He is wonderful to work with and delivers amazing food and service. Good luck!
