    French Dip sandwich with home made chips
    Rachel T.

    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.

    Thai chicken sandwich special
    Kay E.

    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.

    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!

    Chicken Parm

    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.

    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

    Cheesesteak special
    Emily B.

    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!

    Chicken parm

    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!

    Caesar salad with cutlet

    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!

    Chicken parm and homemade chips
    Jacqueline T.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Ceasar salad with a chicken cutlet

    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.

    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.

    I have gotten takeaway twice from there for lunch, and both times the food was great, and the portions are good for what you're paying.

    My favorite spot by far on our Charleston itinerary; my only regret is that our trip was so short…read morethat we did not have time for a second visit. Their banana bread had been recommended to me as a must-try but after a quick glance at the menu, I wanted to try at least five other things. First things first: the banana bread. 10/10. If you leave here without getting a slice warmed up with butter, you're doing yourself a serious disservice. It didn't even taste like banana bread but had the texture of a soft eggy French toast. I was so entranced with it that I managed to squirrel away half for the next day. Also got their jammy eggs because I'm an egg fiend. They were delicious, topped with chives and some chili crisp, but $7 for two eggs in this economy was a little hard to swallow. Next time I'm here, I'd want to try the quiche and the pickled shrimp toast. And they also have peanut milk?? Tucked away on a side street off the much busier King, Babas can be easy to miss but wow - talk about treasures coming in tiny sizes. There's some indoor seating and outdoor tables but don't bank on getting a table right away if you're coming on a weekend morning. The line moves quickly so we didn't mind waiting.

    I don't even know how to rate Babas on Cannon. Just WOW! 11/10 for creative drinks. My husband got…read morea macchiato espresso, which is just a basic drink, but he loved it. I ordered the peanut drink because I had never heard of anything close to it. Usually when I order a special or flavored coffee, I don't like them and only drink about half before throwing it out. This blew my mind. It was like a Reese's in a coffee. Think sipping chocolate, but Reese's style. That drink isn't just good, it's unforgettable. I didn't order any food, but I looked around and it looked really good as well. I highly recommend making a point to stop here in Charleston.
