We showed up half an hour before closing and were welcomed in. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was good and came out at a timely manner. Smoked salmon dip was good... The chips were a bit more salty than I'd like, but the dip neutralized that well. The chicken parm and eggplant parm sandwiches were really good. Good portions, yet it didn't feel heavy (my thighs are thankful lol). We pretty much got full after eating half and was able to take the rest home to enjoy it over another meal. The Pinot freezio and frozen sangria were served in cute little glasses. Very tasty and I loved that there was pulp in my Pinot freezio. Great first visit! read more

What a horrible experience. Girlfriend and I went there yesterday for a quick drink or two after attending the Greek Festival nearby. There were 4 open spots at the bar, so when we *finally* found the host, we asked if they were first come, first served. He told us there were two people coming and that he'd let us know. After waiting probably 10 min, he finally agreed to seat us at the bar (the 2 other people never showed up). So, there we sat...and sat. Bartender finally comes by and plops a bottle of water in front of us. Doesn't say hi / bye / or eff you (although she definitely gave off the latter vibe with her body language). After sitting there another 10 min and not being acknowledged whatsoever, I got fed up. Stood up, told my girlfriend I had had enough...and I flat out refused to give my money to an establishment that treats their customers in this manner. Honestly, I grew up in the Lowcountry and I can tell you that *most* restaurants/bars/shops/etc. in Charleston feature employees who are generally gracious/friendly/hospitable/helpful. Then, on occasion, you run into places like this. How they stay in business has to be a function of location alone, because their service is absolutely horrible! Will advise anyone who will listen to avoid this place at all costs! read more

We ordered the two Chicken Cutlet Sammies, one Parmesan and one Buffalo. We also substituted one side of the included chips with the fries. The Parmesan sammie was good but I was surprised when the Buffalo came out cold. Thought maybe it was supposed to be. I mentioned it to the server and they confirmed it was supposed to be a hot sandwich. They offered to get me a new one but since I didn't want to make everyone else wait, they comp'd the sandwich. The fries were pretty good as well as the chips, although very seasoned. They are dog friendly on the patio which was great to be able to bring our pup along with us. read more

I was excited to try this place for a while, loved sitting on the cupboard patio people watching friendly staff, and I very much enjoyed. My Greek salad recommended to me by my server. I was a little surprised how small the frozen sangria was, but it was delicious. I love that the Greek salad had chickpeas, and while the dressing did not look like an authentic oil based Greek dressing I expected, it was not overly mayonnaisy or yogurty. And was actually very good. read more

Our first time in Charleston, SC. We were looking for a place for lunch. We passed Berkeley's, saw the crowd and figured this must be a great place to be so busy on a weekday afternoon. We were not wrong. It was reservation only for the outside tables. Bar seats and indoor booths (3) were available so we sat at the bar. Another great choice. The bartender was excellent. Very friendly and personable. Food was delicious and was served quickly but we were not rushed. The bar serves beer, wine, and cider plus signature wine slushies. We had the special Thai fried chicken sandwich, a fried eggplant sandwich, and a beet salad. Also a side Caesar salad that had the best most authentic dressing we've ever had. You could taste the anchovies, it was that good!! If you're in Charleston stop in Berkeley's. You won't regret it. read more

What a great place! We came because I had read that this was the best chicken Caesar salad, and boy were they right! Just absolutely loved the chicken and the breading, just perfect! Everything was great, but I do think the smoked fish dip with house made chips was the star dish. Packed with flavor and crisp texture. Hailey was our server and she was wonderful. Patient and extremely helpful. The restaurant is has a laid back deli feel with comfortable seats and a great bar and outdoor space. We came for lunch and it was just wonderful. I'm interested to come back for dinner. If you haven't been, stop on in! read more

I went to Berkeley's recently and was reminded that I need to make this a regular stop. It is downtown but parking is pretty easy and you can usually get a spot without a long wait. We lucked out with Two seats at the bar. We were in the mood for chicken Parm so we decided to get chicken Parm two ways... one with the pasta and one as a sandwich with fries. Honestly I just wanted the fries so I could get a side of their cheese sauce to dip in. Plus, we got a Caesar salad to share because I can't resist those homemade croutons. They are so delicious. Inside seating is best but very limited. I did notice they have heaters on the patio for cool nights though. Also, I was surprised how busy it was on a random night so probably best to make reservations if you can. read more

How it has taken me this long to try this community-staple is beyond me, but definitely worth the hype. Enjoyed a chicken Cesar salad (necessary) with an orange wine and barbera. My friend ordered the burger and fries and didn't disappoint either. We sat at the bar and had the best service! The atmosphere is laid back and relaxing read more

Such a cute and casual spot! The sandwiches were super flavorful - we got the chef's special cheesesteak, and I'd highly recommend it. The Caesar salad with chicken was delicious too, though the croutons basically melted from all the grease they're cooked in. The meatballs were tasty but definitely reheated since the inside was cold. I'd go back on a nice day for the salad and sandwich, but just a heads up - there's no AC (or it wasn't working), so it gets pretty warm inside. Heavy food in the heat is not for me! read more

Really nice spot in downtown Charleston. I like that is it away from the busy main streets. We easily found street parking next to the restaurant. Service was great. I loved the chicken parm. The chicken was nice and thin and crispy. The sauce was flavorful! My mom loved her Reuben sandwhich with chips. My sister had a chicken parm sandwhich and loved it as well. My dad ordered the French dip and didn't think it was that great. Overall, the food was pretty good, especially the chicken cutlets! read more

I enjoyed the chicken cutlet sandwich I got, but it didn't blow me away. Maybe would've preferred some more chewy bread. The softer bread soaked in the marinara and it was just a bit soggy for my preference. 3.5 would be a more fair rating of this place because the service was good, I enjoyed the atmosphere, and the people I was with enjoyed their sandwiches. read more

My friends and I decided on Berkeleys to enjoy the beautiful weather and we love sitting outside. The patio is a comfortable and inviting spot to enjoy some sun. The food is always incredible at Berkeley's. They have the best chicken cutlets in town I always recommend them to everyone. The service is great and quick! read more

Went in for my daughter's birthday. Table of 7. No problem for this establishment. It's a quaint little place in a bustling part of Charleston. Our server was amazing, on spot and at our table several time with a smiling face and a great personality. The food matched. Chicken parm sandwich was amazing and fries were done perfect. The beer selection was good but I was really in the mood for a Bloody Mary with lunch....no alcohol. Not a deal breaker but it would have made this lunch perfect. Portions are huge, I took the other half of my sandwich home and it was just as delicious the next day. read more

I was excited to try Berkeley's for so many reasons! 1) They own The Archer, which I absolutely love, 2) they accept Blackbird, and 3) their chicken parm sandwich was listed as a top dish. The food and service did not disappoint! The sandwich was huge!My boyfriend and I were able to split it for lunch and it came with homemade chips. Thinly sliced chicken breast and a sweet marina sauce! Our friendly server recommended trying the Philly cheesesteak next time (though I was definitely eyeing the artichoke sandwich too!). A great, unassuming spot with reasonable prices! Super cute and fun! read more

Stopped in for lunch while on vacation and really enjoyed this place. They have indoor and lots of outdoor seating. They also have an indoor and an outdoor bar which is super neat. The bar tender was super nice and friendly and she gave us some recommendations for other places to go. I got the prime rib sandwich which was fantastic. The chicken cutlet was great too. Service, food and vibe were on par. Def a chill spot I would frequent if I lived there read more

Debbie and I finally got to check this place out downtown which we pass by frequently. We tried their hummus, beet salad and the French dip sandwich and we were not disappointed. They have lots of cool things on the menu and even a frozen sangria machine with white and red sangria which we sampled :) Try the combo. The service was top-notch also. Highly recommend. read more

The chicken cutlet sandwiches were incredible! We ordered the chicken parm and classic cutlet sandwich. Both side orders of Cesar salads oppose to the chips that it came with. The sandwich portion was huge and half the sandwich was very filling on its own. The screened patio had heaters which helped since it was raining and chilly out. The staff were all attentive and friendly. There was parking across the restaurant in a tiny lot of there is street parking surrounding in the area. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Came here for Easter brunch and got a table outside. The drinks and food, AMAZING. The chicken cutlet was probably one of the best I have tried along with their frozen drinks. The ambience was very upbeat and relaxing. There isn't too much indoor seating but it was perfect weather to sit outside. read more

Solid 3.5! Caesar with chicken cutlet was good, but croutons were weird. We liked the burrata a lot and the tomato sauce was delicious on that plate. Ruben could've used more sauerkraut and more toasted bread. They have La Chouffe beer that my bf was excited about. Took them a second to take our order and bring food out but could've been bc we were hidden in a booth. read more

Apparently this is the spot for Caesar salad and it was very good. This is kind of a hole-in-the-wall joint, very small but cute and cozy. There's some parking in a lot across the street which is a plus if you score a spot. It was definitely a bit pricey for what it was, but I guess it's Charleston and to be expected.w read more

Treated to a farewell lunch by friends. I chose this dish because I wanted to try a new spot. Not a good choice. The pasta was cooked well. The favor was okay. The parm, to look at it was overcooked, dark bread crumbs was a hint. The end of the parm was inedible. The middle was better. No utensils were provided another let down. read more

Solid place. Came here because I was craving chicken parm and I saw they had it on the menu. The sandwich was good! This is a good place to go to if you are just hungry for something simple. No frills! The cutlet is actually very flavorful and crispy on its own, and I love that they used sub bread for the sandwich. We also ordered the smoked salmon dip but I was so hungry I didn't get a photo! All of the dip was buried under a layer of chips (which we did not know) with a bit of dip scooped on top. When we first got it, we thought they had skimped us on the dip and were upset but once we kept eating we realized there was a huge layer of dip under the chips! So if you get that, now you know! The food is good here. It's nothing crazy or special but it is plain good. It's really nice to sit outside here as well although it gets noisy with all the cars passing by. read more

We had the Caesar salad and the meatballs as apps. The Caesar salad tasted like it was old and out of the bag from a grocery store, and the dressing was drenched. The meatballs were not very good either. The ambiance wasn't bad, but I wasn't impressed by the food. Maybe we just didn't order the right things or come at the right time (like 3 PM on a Saturday). read more

My husband has been looking for a good Philly Cheesesteak. Saw this place was recommended. He loved it. I had the French Dip. The meat for both was shaved rib eye and had great flavor. I think that the bread was the standout and made the sandwich. Parking and seating were tough. Must not have had enough servers because there were a bunch of open tables that were not being used. We sat in the car and ate. Worth the trip and would go again. read more

The food here at Berkeleys is incredible. The smoked salmon dip is absolutely worth getting. We also got a chicken parm cutlet sandwich and Caesar salad with chicken that also didn't disappoint. Service was friendly here but on the slower side. This was a great place for lunch and I would come back. read more

Berkeley's is a friendly neighborhood, comfort foods local spot that I love to frequent. The dips and appetizers are fantastic as well as the Caesar salad. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. They have an outdoor patio and a few reserved parking spots for customers. The inside is small but there is a bar area and a few booths. Everyone working there is so friendly and helpful. read more

WE TRAVEL THE GLOBE AND THIS IS EXCELLENT!!! The food here is unbelievably tasty! Great job you guys!! We ordered the fried artichoke hearts and banana peppers, Cavatappi and Greek salads! Every thing we tried was wonderful and we will be back! There is a server, brunette and super friendly...she is the one you want! She wasn't our actual server but she kept us very happy and went above and beyond for us! We had a flight to catch and she paid attention...I wish knew her name, but want to say thank you for being so kind! Our server was very busy conversating with her co worker in the back and attending to her side work, we actually never saw her, not one time after she took our order...nonetheless...THE FOOD IS PERFECT AND WE WILL BE BACK! Great job chefs!!! read more

This place was surprisingly good. We've been trying to get in here for months and glad we were able to get reservations when we did. The patio was comfortable especially with such a beautiful day today was. Got busy. Really quick. You can tell everyone wanted to sit outside. They serve sandwiches and chips. Homemade but with Old Bay seasoning so o couldn't eat it. My French Dip was small but flavorful with the cheese melted right into the meat. Fries were delicious and service was great. Will def return. read more

Nice little restaurant serving American food with a few fun, unique dishes. The fried artichokes and the spicy shrimp and polenta were phenomenal. The service is great, the staff members are super nice. Most of the seating is outside in the front. During the winter it is covered and heated, but still can be a little chilly so dress appropriately. It's casual eating and frequented by millennials, which makes given the demographic of the neighborhood. You will see a lot of friend groups dining there! read more

This hidden gem is situated close to Hampton Park and is the perfect place to grab a bite outside. I dined at Berkeley's during their collaboration with Duke's Mayo for Hot Tomato Summer so they had a speciality menu. I started my experience by getting a Bellini and some ice cold water. Their water is served in a wine bottle which adds to the ambience. For my meal I enjoyed a chicken BLT with a side of fries. The fries were perfectly crispy and the sandwich was so savory. The only comment I have about this establishment is the flies if you're sitting outside. They do have the little fly flies that help though! read more

Very nice. Great for lunch, nice people, food terrific. Must try chicken parm, chips made in-house. Very large portions, take-home will be a definite. Small inside , but has outside dinning also.

Berkeley's is a standout spot in Charleston. It's low-key but still feels stylish, with a relaxed vibe and seriously good food and service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Great cocktails, reasonable prices, and just an overall solid experience.

Berkeley's is by far one of my husband and I's favorite restaurants in Charleston. We've been here over a handful of times and always have a great experience. I love the outdoor seating area. Even in the colder temperatures they have heat lamps so you can stay warm. I always get the eggplant parm and it by far exceeds every other eggplant parm I've gotten from any Italian restaurant in Charleston (I'm from NYC so my expectations are high). The servers are always sweet and very attentive. I had a small issue once and spoke to the owner who was more than apologetic and was eager to rectify the situation and do the right thing. Love it here. read more
