Since we were in a large group of 13, we called ahead to make reservations and at were luckily able to dine there early on a Friday evening. The restaurant was really nice and the food was great. Our server was really helpful and had great recommendations. Our friends really appreciated that he was able to call the chef over to help prepare a wonderful salad that met their dietary needs. Their specially prepared salads looked so good, I am sure I would have enjoyed it!!! We ordered the Baked Oysters appetizer, 8oz Wagyu Hangar steak and Seared Sea Scallops entree. Everything was really tasty and our group enjoyed our time together at Burwell's. read more

Really good food. Unbelievable service. They made us feel like old friends even though we've never visited Charleston before. A little loud but not too loud to talk. I highly recommend. read more

Officially my favorite place I've ever dined in Charleston! My boyfriend booked this place randomly for us on the weekend and I was a little hesitant as I had never heard of it, but now I know why because this truly is a hidden gem and I hope it stays this way. I cannot say enough great things about it! Everything from start to finish was 1000/10! We started with delicious drinks, great shrimp cocktail, the hot Rock of course as it's their signature dish, and I had the seasonal salad which was PHENOMENAL for a salad and he had the filet mignon! We also ordered dessert when I never do as I didn't want the dining experience to end. Our server was also great and knowledgeable and we will 100000000% be back! Great job Burwell's!!! Place deserves more than just five yelp stars! read more

Burwell's is one of my favorite spots in Charleston, especially during happy hour. The hot stone is such a fun and delicious experience and the glasses of champagne on happy hour make it even better. Do not miss the deviled eggs and their chocolate cake might be the best in Charleston. It can get a little smokey inside from the hot stones and happy hour fills up fast, so getting there early is a must. Great food, great vibe, and always a good time. read more

Arron was my server he did amazing . The food was good the steak was seasoned well. The small serving and three asparagus was good. The oyster appetizer was super good. The setting is so relaxing and welcoming. I ate all my food which is unusual. The margaritas was a plus and the shots of don hulio wasn't strong just right for the mood. My first time visiting was great. You should try it. read more

Burwell's is a must if you're a steak lover and enjoy, great service! We have eaten here before and they delivery every time, from their awesome cocktails to the apps, there is nothing that is not good. All the apps we had were just as good as they looked, cooked oysters, octopus, deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail, calamari and the caviar great to split with a larger table. My wife who does not eat steak, could not stop talking about how good the tilefish was, cooked to perfection with tasty grits and a special balsamic dressing, you know I had to get a couple bites! I went with the Wagyu steak 8 ounce and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had and cooked to perfection. So fortunate we were able to eat here again and I'm sure it won't be the last, book your next steak dinner at Burwell's you will not regret it! read more

We were on vacation in Charleston and wanted a great place to eat and we were able to get a reservation here. We were traveling with our toddler who can be busy at times. When we walked in the hostess was super accommodating to our little guy. She showed him the stone fire and gave him things to color on. The restaurant was very busy. They sat us upstairs where it was a bit quieter. We ordered an Arnold Palmer that was the best we have ever had. Our toddler couldn't keep his little mits off of it. We decided to go big and order the 20 ounce ribeye on the bone. It was over $100 but so worth it. It was the best steak I ever got. I had a glass of Cabernet with it that was so yummy. I can't remember the name but it was $17 and had something to do with prisoner or shackles. I got the scallops with risotto- so delicious and perfectly cooked. For dessert the blueberry peach cobbler alamode. The only complaint I have is that I would have liked a bigger scoop of ice cream on top, but overall everything was fantastic. Shoutout to the wait staff who were super friendly and attentive. He also made great recommendations if you aren't sure what to get. read more

Umm holy sh*t! For real, like dayummmmm! My palate was blessed by the good AF gods with this meal. No exaggeration. I started the night off with a blueberry smash cocktail. It was a vodka based drink. Light and refreshing with a mint twist. Next the deviled eggs. They were really good but hard to rave about the deviled eggs when the rest of the meal left me drooling The wedge salad was good too, but the best part was the bacon it was topped with. Thick and a great Smokey flavor Onto the steak. I went with the NY strip. Naturally not as tender as a ribeye or filet but I like what I like. It doesn't matter though, the steak was still super tender. Like melt in your mouth tender. I forgot to take a picture after I cut it because I devoured it. The flavor was incredible. Probably a top 10 steak I've had in my life. The mashed potatoes were ballin too The only knock on the restaurant was the smoke from the stupid Little Rock's people were cooking on. But it's not annoying enough to pass up on this great meal. read more

Burwell's is an exceptionally complete dining experience. It is the articulate professionalism of fine dining with the inviting family feel. Caviar from the Parma region of Italy; Wagyu steak from Australia; seafood sourced and partnered with CucaCo; a pastry chef sent from the gods and a staff that has deep personal roots. Burwell's is a prize in the Charleston food fair. read more

Burwell's Stone Fire Grill is one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston. The food is delicious, the service is fantastic, and the ambiance is nice but casual. We always order appetizers, and they are one of the highlights of the meal. Our favorite is the Signature Hot Rock which is a 700 degree black lava stone to cook your own Wagyu, filet or lamb. We also enjoy their unique presentation and taste of deviled eggs. They have a full bar with a large selection of beers and cocktails. For dinner, we really enjoy the steaks - always prepared to our requested temperature. The sides are also really good. Their desserts are also great. One of our favorites is the Hummingbird Cheesecake. So good! Our whole family recommends Burwell's. read more

An Incredible Evening at Burwell's Stone Fire Grill Joe and I had the most wonderful dinner at Burwell's in downtown Charleston. The food, the atmosphere, and the people made it such a memorable night. Joe's venison was perfectly prepared -- tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My seared scallops were golden and buttery, served over farro and roasted vegetables. And dessert was pure perfection -- creamy, citrusy, and topped with candied fruit and a mint leaf. Our waitress, Cathy, was absolutely delightful -- attentive, kind, and truly made the evening special. After dinner, we stopped by the bar to chat with Joe, the bartender, who's always a friendly face, and John, the general manager/owner, himself stopped by our table several times throughout the night. It's clear this restaurant is run with heart and passion. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Charleston -- where every detail is top-notch and you're treated like family -- Burwell's Stone Fire Grill is the place. read more

My MOH planned a nice dinner out for my bachelorette trip and Burwells delivered! There were 6 of us and they accommodated us to our table quickly. It's a lovely restaurant filled with rich wood tones and elegant lighting. We ordered cocktails, mocktails and appetizers to share. The menu has wonderful options to select from. I ordered the scallops with faro and it was incredible. Everyone raved about their food. The service was top-notch as well. We had a lovely dinner! read more

Burtwell's came highly recommended as a got-to for great steaks in Charleston. It was easy to make reservations online and they even sent a reminder via text. We were greeted immediately upon arrival. However, the hostess tried to seat us upstairs although there was ample space for seating us in the main dining area. Once seated we ordered drinks and appetizers and we quickly received our food. My scallops were delicious. Moreover, I was told the steak was underwhelming. Reminiscent of an Outback steak. Also, the cobbler we were served for dinner seemed to have black pieces from the pan in our dessert. Overall the dining experience was nice and relaxing. read more

Restaurant is a lot nicer on the inside than how it looks from the outside, it's kind of at the end of a street. There's a public parking garage a block over. Inside, there's a bar to the right and then seating to the left and there's an upstairs. We made reservations which highly recommend cause they look busy. I don't think there is a dress code but from looking around people were dressed nice. It is very loud just a heads up. We got seated but our assigned waitress never came. Another waitress came and checked on us and asked if we'd been helped at all and she was very apologetic and said she would serve us. She was very nice and attentive. For drinks, I did the blueberry mint passion cocktail which was delicious and then my husband did a glass of the Prisoner, which is one of their red wines. When I checked in on Yelp, I got a free glass of house wine coupon and showed it to our waitress. The Prisoner doesn't count but she took it off our receipt anyways which was very nice! For food, I did the hanger & filet lava stone appetizer and a side of fries because it was enough for a meal and I wanted to do it for the experience. It's 8 oz. total so it was enough food for me for sure. My husband got the filet entree so it comes cooked already with a side of asparagus and mashed potatoes. He said it wasn't bad. read more

Came here on Christmas Eve with my now fiance. Walking in....the ambiance is warm and cozy. Very inviting. Felt like home. We were instantly greated and sat by our waiter Mike. He was very attentive and took care of us the whole night. They had a 3 course menu for 75$ for Christmas Eve. We each did that and chose the following Appetizers: Soudough toast with cherries, brie and thyme Pork Belly steak Sourdough toast was epic well balanced sweet , salty, crunchy Fiance loved the pork belly, almost got full on tnat alone Main: 8 oz filet medium + with mushrooms &onions &truffled mashed potatoes NY strip with confit smashed fingerling potatoes and green beans Oh my goodness...filet was perfectly cooked ...mashed potatoes were so smooth I could use it as lotion lol NY strip tender fall apart. Seasoned well. Smashed potatoes were an excellent side for the steak, so delicious salty creamy crispy what?! Dessert: Egg Nogg bread pudding Cinnamon toast tres leches As a baker by trade I was impressed with these desserts. And that's hard to do. Sweet and creamy not too overpowering. Texture on point. Thank you so much to Mike and Burwell's for making our engagement night so special ...I'll never forget it. A woman's dream! read more

Visited Burwells during a trip to Charleston and was pleasantly surprised. The bartender was knowledgeable when asked to make a unique drink that was not bitter which paired well with steak and the food was very good. The deviled eggs were presented uniquely and the service was amazing! I actually emailed the restaurant to let them know how much we enjoyed ourselves and to request the recipe for their horseradish cream that was an option for the steak, amazing! Unfortunately not shown in picture but defiantly a great find! read more

Cute little place with simple but elegant decor. Loved that we got to sit up top for a nice view. I'm not a huge fan of deviled eggs but the waitress ragged about them, and she was right! The texture is thicker almost like they mix the yolk with cream cheese and it's topped with bacon - what could be better! The scallops were also delicious, the sauce was just a little bland for my taste. My friends got their ribeye and seemed to really enjoy it! Would definitely try again if I was in town. The service was also impeccable! read more

Came here with the girlfriend to celebrate Christmas little early. We shared the fried calamari for appetizer, I had the 14 oz NY Strip Steak with Mac and cheese and veggies, she had the 8 oz Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and we had the chocolate cake (get in there soon, it's a limited time item!) for dessert. The first thing you notice when you walk in is that you feel like you are home. You smell the wood fire but it isn't smoky. No loud music, and the lights are a little less dim than steakhouses often are. Our server, Michael, was absolutely amazing! He could tell that this was a special night out for us and he made sure to take lots of pictures for us with our camera. The food? WOW! My steak had a lot more character than it does at Oak or Hall's, thanks to the wood grill... so did her filet. The mashed potatoes were outstanding and so was the Mac and cheese... really great flavor where the flavors and textures of the different cheeses were very present. Honestly... I can make a steak about as good as Hall's or Oak at home, I have done it plenty of times, but I still like to go out and eat. I cannot make a steak like Burwell's at my house. The dessert was off the wall amazing too! This was a great dining experience. Oh, and it was a much better value than Oak or Hall's, too. I know that once we are in this tier of restaurants, we don't really look at the prices much, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy saving some money or getting more for dollar. We are already planning to return after Christmas! J.Ja read more

Obsessed with this place!!! I had some regulars at the bar I work at come and tell me how amazing this place was and how I needed to try their happy hour. Finally months later I took my mom and we were so pleased. She got the $20 Waygu hot rock and as I was sitting I saw the guy across the bar with the waygu burger who said I had to try. He was so right- honestly the best burger I've had in CHS and I used to say that title belonged to little jacks. The hot rock was so fun as well. My mom laughed and said it was the cheapest dinner she had ever had with me. All that plus 2 beers and a glass of champagne and a side of fries for $60! Truly a great deal for downtown Charleston. Can't wait to go back. read more

Burwell's Stone Fire Grill - Happy hour hot rock appetizer - New American Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

My husband loves steak and wanted to go there for Father's day, as they had a dry aged steak on the menu. It's a cool experience getting to cook your meat on the hot stone they have as their signature appetizer. It's definitely gets the room smoky! And after they took it away, we noticed we felt a lot cooler. They dry aged steak was a 45 day one as opposed to their previous one which was 75 days, so it had a nice flavor that was not too offense. It's a steak forward place, with pretty focused menu to compliment the meat. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. The dessert was excellent. A good amount of mousse in the chocolate cake, and not an overwhelming amount of banana in the cheesecake. The decor/atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired, but if you are going for the meat, you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow! I'd give it more stars, if I could. We are in town so the kid can do an overnight college visit and after dropping him off, we wanted to find a really good steak place. Yelp did it again! The place is absolutely beautiful and super clean. We were greeted quickly by our amazing server, Aaron, and soon had drinks from the bar. Aaron was funny, attentive (without being overbearing) and really knowledgeable about the menu and food preparation/ presentation. We started with salads - I normally go for a wedge, but after hearing about the seasonal salad, I was sold! Hubby had the Caesar, his usual. The Caesar was just perfect - the right amount of dressing (it was so flavorful. They must make their own), Parmesan and tiny croutons. Yum! But that seasonal salad? Oh my! A bed of greens (including spinach), strawberries, roasted red onions, sliced almonds, feta cheese and a really well done raspberry vinaigrette - yes please!! Hubby had the 14 oz NY Strip and it was cooked perfectly rare, exactly as he had ordered. He chose the steak frites presentation and was thrilled. The frites were so well seasoned! And that maitre d'butter - wow. It's green, which is funny, but one taste and you know why - so herby and buttery. It was fantastic. I have never tasted anything like it. I had the waygu hanger steak, mid-rare. It was so so good. Who knew hanger steak could melt in your mouth like that? Obviously the chef does! Paired with the seasonal presentation (fingerling potatoes, creamed spinach and this amazing red-eye sauce), I think I could eat it every night. It was just that good. The creamed spinach was exceptional- most places bathe it in cream. Not here, there was just enough cream, but the spinach was the star. We also split an add on of seared scallops - oh my! Expertly seared and so sweet and flavorful! We finished our incredible meal with the creme brûlée, because if it's on the menu, we are ordering it. Just perfect. This one was obviously fired to order with the sugar crust crispy and warm. It makes me crazy when they have been torched in advance and thrown in a fridge to be served later. Not here! Event the berry compote on top was evidence of the chef and his team's attention to detail. We are steakhouse junkies and have eaten in many up and down the east coast. This is by FAR one of the most memorable meals we have had in a very long time. The staff is phenomenal - so friendly. I even saw the Manager help bus tables. They run food for each other and it is very obvious that they take pride in what they do. I sure hope the kid chooses to go to school here, because we'll become regulars when we are in town. But well's is an absolute MUST visit if you are looking for a memorable steakhouse dinner in Charleston. Make sure you ask for Aaron! But no worries if he is off when you visit, from what we saw, the entire staff is amazing! read more

Amazing service and delicious food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great steak dinner. You will not be disappointed.

Love Burwell's as a good option for a date night or even business dinner. We prefer sitting at the bar and it's always been very nice. Only reason the rating is a 3 and not a 4 is because it has been inconsistent in terms of how things are cooked and overall quality. It's good 4 out of 5 times, but sometimes the portions will be much much smaller or things not cooked to order. Will say the deviled eggs are a must try as it relates to an appetizer. The hot rock is fun because you get to cook your own steak - my only issue is that it stick horribly to the rock which is a bummer. They salt the rock but it only helps a little because it is that hot. Filet has always been good, don't think the size is always as advertised, though. Service has always been consistent. They are helpful and will answer questions or make suggestions if you are unsure. Overall very attentive. read more

After having couple of drinks and appetizers at the bar at fleet landing I decided to go into this place since It looked nice from outside , sat at the bar and asked the old guy bartender behind bar about the wine selection, he was probably most unfriendliest bartender I have met , dude it's time to retire or just don't get out of the house if you don't like to talk to people !! That explained why everywhere else was busy and no one in this place !!
