We started with the Pimento Cheese Hushpuppies, which I had high hopes for. They were a bit over‑fried and dry, with more breading than cheesy center, and the jalapeño bacon jam was watery and didn't quite complement the hushpuppies. That said, the concept is fun, and with a thicker, chunkier jam, I think they'd really shine. The Fried Oysters, however, were a completely different story. Perfectly breaded, not overly heavy, and full of flavor. My husband--who's keto and peeled the breading off--still commented on how good the oysters themselves were. If anything, we just wished the portion was bigger. The star of the starters for me was the She Crab Soup. Creamy, rich, and loaded with crab. It was one of those dishes you keep going back to between bites of everything else. And here's my pro tip: dip the hushpuppies into the soup. It transformed them from dry to delicious, and I even suggested to our server that the kitchen consider offering them together. For my entrée, I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with a side of pasta salad. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the Thai‑inspired sauce had a sweet kick that I honestly wish there had been more of. The pasta salad was classic but surprisingly good--fresh, balanced, and better than most versions I've had lately. My husband ordered the Salmon & Shrimp Scampi, swapping the pasta for extra spinach to stay keto. Both proteins were cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and plated generously. Overall, the meal had a few highs and a couple of misses, but the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the menu make this a place I'd absolutely visit again. With a little fine‑tuning on a few items, 2 Twelve has the potential to be truly exceptional.

Amazing food! Ed is a phenomenal chef!!!…read more My partner ordered an amazing seafood pasta. The sauce was excellent! I wanted to take his plate! LOL. My meal, the Charleston Crab Cakes, was really good too (I asked that they put the creamed corn on the side -- the crab cakes will come on top of the creamed corn if you don't make a special request). But when (not if) we return, I will be ordering the seafood pasta for sure because it was that good! A friend recommended the pork chops and the burgers. The ambience is quaint and the indoor dining space is very small and cozy. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived. I recommend making a reservation if you don't want to dine outdoors. It was January so too cold for us to eat outdoors because there is no heating and the overhead fans were on! Also, please bring a little patience for parking because this restaurant is in an area of downtown with limited parking.

We started off with a flight of grandmas eggs which allows you to choose three different ones. My personal favorite was the Buffalo chicken which makes me want that was an appetizer next time I'm in town. The chimcherri one was okay. And not fully sure the other but it was decent. I had the Bad Henny with potato salad. Everything was tasty. My only complaint would be the bread kept sliding off. But that potato was one my favorites ever. So tasty. The rootbeer which they make was a great nonalcoholic taste. Overall seemed like a chill spot with good services. Very friendly folks. Nice spot inside and out. I look forward to trying a pizza next.

Beers were reasonably priced and they were delicious. Food was also good. We will be back to try the pizza. So glad we found this local brewery. Give them a try - you will be glad you did.

Sign says - NO GUNS so that should have told us the place was "edgy". Food we ordered was a bit pricey but it was good and hot. I had a Beef Quesadilla which came with very hot and tasty Fries. That was all for over $12!! The Quesadilla should have been twice the size. The Salsa with the chips was Very Watery with no taste. We had to order cheese for our chips as the Salsa was that bad. My wife's pounded chicken with Rice & Beans was good but very small for the price. It was suppose to have a salad but that didn't show up at the table as expected. She should have asked for it BUT the waiter should have noticed no salad was with the meal as Menu Indicated. We will probably not come back as the booths were worn out and it just wasn't a pleasant atmosphere.

My wife and I came at opening so the bar was completely empty initially, but it filled up by the time we left. There was a pretty impressive array of comfortable seats, although they looked a little dusty to me. When we chose our initial seats, the bartender came over, apologized, and told us that the chairs we had chosen were only for parties of 3 or 4 :) Kind of strange but whatever. We chose a different set of chairs and ordered our beverages. Honestly, it took a very long time to get our drinks. They were pretty well made but were also extremely expensive (all of the cocktails were around $17 to $19). Other than the delay, the bartender was nice and did a pretty good job throughout our time there. The venue also served food but we didn't partake this time. Overall, not a terrible experience or anything, but the high prices and slow service make me a little hesitant to return.

I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly. Let us walk around the entire shop and answer all questions and total some history. It's a college vibe but not an undergrad vibe if that makes any sense. You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot. It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.
