    A friend of ours had been raving about Black Out so we had to try! This is a food truck so you have to check Instagram for their schedule. Not sure why the Yelp page says it's closed. This was the best smash burger I've ever had. We caught them at Low Tide a few weeks ago. The double came out fast and was sizzling hot. After sitting for several agonizing minutes allowing it to cool, I could finally enjoy a bite. It did not disappoint. I'm not sure how a smash burger can end up anything but well done but somehow it still had a faint pink line in the very middle. The sauce and cheese and crispy edges of the burger left me wanting more after every bite. I was very full but could have stretched my stomach to keep eating. This weekend we caught them at Munkle and once again, they nailed it!

    Oh yeah pickles are jammin too!

    Best smash burger in Charleston! I crave their burgers and seek them out so I can get the goodness! The patties are cooked perfect nice and crispy, melts in your mouth! Keep up the great work I'm sure I will be back soon!!

    Wish I had to hands for this burger

    What a great place! Big sloppy burger, but perfectly balanced with pickles. You can get it in any size you want. The Frito Pie is nice and crunchy with chili, cheese and jalapeños for a kick. Potato salad is made whole small potatoes which is cool.

    Definitely enjoyed my smash burger from here. I got the single paddy. The cheese was super melty and fantastic. I also enjoyed the sauce on top. I even enjoyed the pickles and I'm not a pickle person. It wasn't my favorite smash burger I've ever had, but it was very tasty. The prices were a little expensive for what you get. But with that being said, I'm very glad I tried this food truck!

    I've been wanting to go visit this food truck for months and just was never in the right area. I'm sad to say that I wasn't a huge fan of their flavor combinations. I've been looking for Charleston's best burger for years and BOB looked like they could be in the running. Unfortunately they're a little out in left field. The burger and bun were great, it's the "fancy sauce"... It's like a coconut and curry toxicity sauce and it's something quite unique. Unfortunately IMHO, it doesn't pair well with the rest of the burger. It's great on fries though. Granted I think you can order custom burgers and ask for it on the side but this is their flagship menu item and it's just meh.... If I go back I'll get the fancy sauce on the safe and stick with traditional toppings. BOB you guys got something good working here, just needs a little fine tuning and you'll have fried gold.

    Loco moco! Better than any Hawaiian version I've had

    I really enjoyed this place when we got to try it on our recent vacation…read more I was a little suspect on the food quality since to me it just seemed like a place that would have average dive bar food, but I was wrong. My food was delicious. I got the turkey burger and it was excellent. They also serve them with what appears to be cut in house fries which were also very good. Prices were very reasonable. Service was good. I would go back if I ever had the chance to again.

I was able to grab a seat by the bar. The service was just ok. Bartender wasn't necessarily the friendliest or most inviting but it may have been because he was just flustered handling the lunch rush alone. I got the classic burger with Brussel sprouts. $5 uncharge to swap fries for Brussel sprouts seemed a little steep for a quick burger joint but the Brussels were actually really good. Not sure what they were cooked in but it added a bunch of good flavor and there were a few pieces that had a nice crust on them. The burger was delicious.The buns were perfectly toasted so each bite had a nice buttery crunch to it. I don't know what's in their special sauce but it really brings everything together.

    First time to visit this place. Great service and the food…read morewas unique & very good. Loved the Smashburger and Waffle Fry Hashbrowns. The Smashburger was unlike any I'd had before as were the Hashbrowns. The others enjoyed their Gluten Free selections that were prepared in a separate fryer, which is so important for Gluten Free & Celiac sufferers. Their choices were Bacon egg n cheese biscuit, Fried Chicken (some of the BEST EVER) biscuit, Corn Dog and Waffle Fried Hashbrowns. This little place is a hit with the college students along with others enjoying downtown Charleston. Parking is available directly behind this place if your not lucky enough to find street parking.

We ordered a deluxe burger and a crust burger with curly fries. Both burgers were super good and juicy, and served piping hot and came out quick! The curly fries were a good choice too. The meat is well seasoned and they don't skimp you on the toppings. The service was really friendly also. The menus didn't offer an explanation of what everything was, so I had to ask. They have lots of sauces to choose from for your burger, so that's fun. I also think it's slightly pricey for getting just a burger with no fries, but maybe that's just me. I'll be back though, it was delicious!

If you're getting food, definitely try the blistered green beans, poutine, and the farmer's salad (which is like a Cobb salad/bowl, it's amazing) *but* my all-time fave is the fried chicken sandwich - it's honestly one of the best l've ever had in Charleston. Also, this place is huge so they were able to accommodate my friend's post-wedding party (about 20 people) at the last minute and we had a blast. Everywhere else we tried to go either didn't have the space for us or were closing so it totally made our night! We just made sure to call ahead to check and they were more than happy to have us - the bride was happy so you know it was good :) Bottom line, the Peacock is a local gem hidden in plain sight on East Bay and, as a local, it's become one of my top go-to's in Charleston. You can't beat the prices (seriously), ambience, quality, and awesome staff. They also have live music every week so they know how to keep it classy and lively at the same time. I highly recommend checking it out!

To be honest, I found it all to be underwhelming and overpriced. My friend and I sat at the bar for a cocktail and two lite bites (the salmon app and chicken tenders) and while it was good- there was nothing outstanding about the food. The roof was closed so we weren't able to check out that. The staff was friendly albeit a bit out of it for being as dead as they were. I was at the bar for maybe 10 minutes or so before anyone ever walked over to me (there was also no hostess at the door for when I was trying to check in for my reservation.) I'm not sure if it was just an off day but the experience didn't leave me wanting to go back. The interior is nice, seats are comfortable etc and it all was very clean.

Not spicy, but good flavor. Scallop dumplings -- if I was at home, I'd bring the bowl to my mouth and drink the remaining sauce. Pastrami -- fell apart in your mouth. So good! Tilefish -- wow. The corn mash and miso sauce paired with it 11/10. Potatoes were candied and had a great popcorn rice to top it off. Soo good!! While we had a fabulous experience at FIG last night, I know there is a lot out there highlighting both. If you're torn between the two, hopefully this helps... think of FIG as more dark, moody, white table cloths, fine dining, a lot of seafood options. Husk is more bright, more casual while still remaining nice, more meat options here. Both fabulous, just depends what you're looking for! Bathroom was clean and well kept, which I think says a lot about a restaurant.

So many fine dining establishments to choose from in town, and we were not disappointed with our choice. We were led up a flight of steps and out onto a cute balcony with about 6 tables. Our server was friendly and attentive. We started with cocktails and wine, then opted for the collard cabbage pancake topped with crabmeat, scallions and jalapenos. We've eaten collards many different ways- but this was a fun preparation. Very tasty! We ordered the rabbit sausage and corn dish which was amazingly different and the brisket topped with a bbq and peppercorn glaze and potato salad, which were both also very good! Highly recommend checking out their menu.

I saw a woman who had just finished a conversation on her cell phone walking into one part of the L-shaped facility, so I followed her. "The host" asked whether I wanted to be seated inside or outside. I told him I had no preference. Landon, who became my server, then escorted me to the attached building, carrying menus and two glasses of water. Shortly after I was seated, Landon approached and asked if I would like a drink. I ordered a Margarita. Since I already knew what I wanted for my entrée, I also ordered the French Dip with French Fries. The French Dip arrived warm, but the fries were cold. When Landon inquired about my meal, I informed him of the situation. He immediately took the fries away. After I finished the French Dip, I received the fries. I do not know whether they were the original fries that had been reheated or a fresh order. Regardless, these fries were hot. Shortly afterward, the young man who had originally asked where I wanted to sit came to my table and removed my dirty dishes. Landon then brought me my check. Due to the circumstances, I was given a discount on my bill. Anyway, I did not hear either of them ask whether I wanted dessert. Perhaps because of my complaint, they just wanted me out. Oh well-- their loss! I really wanted to tried their Sundae! Landon again apologized for the cold French fries. He provided very good service throughout my meal, so I do not fault him for the kitchen's mistake. Based on the restaurant's L-shaped design, with two separate buildings and the kitchen located in one building while some of the dining area is in the other, I realize that meals may become cooler by the time they reach the table. Therefore, I would highly recommend requesting a table in the building where the bar is located. Lastly, serving water in a plastic cup, in my opinion, gives the restaurant a rather cheap appearance. Considering the overall setting, I would expect water to be served in a proper glass.
