Pluses: Decent ambiance by the bar, good service, mussels enjoyable Cons: Sterile main seating area, stale bread, boring salad, tough meat, plain or just plain bad sides, too many capers on fish, nori sheets on Korean BBQ (dumb presentation) In sum, the food was a big disappointment and it wasn't cheap either ($100+). We would have been better off skipping dinner and grazing at the Cinebarre. read more

So far the home fries with their creamy sauce are decadent. The coffee which is Charleston Roast Espresso Dark Roast is WONDERFUL waiting on my Lump Crab Cakes read more

Graze - Graze offers a full service bar - New American Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

I wouldnt expect anything special from Graze. I went there and my wife was going to order a $12 salad and the salmon size was 4oz...over priced. When we walked in our server greated us in about 5 min...what a joke. My wifes water glass was dirty and they had to replace it. Our waiters apron was so dirty that it scared me to see the food. Our server didnt ask how my wife wanted her burger cooked..and it tastes like steak and shake. I wont be going back. read more

Hey you. Yeah you. Don't do it. I'm a cook in Virginia and I've work management for restaurants for years. I'm still trying to get a grasp on the stupidity that I endured tonight. I want to begin by saying that the wait staff is very attentive and friendly. I was very impressed by not only the ambiance but the speed of service when my girlfriend and I were seated for her birthday dinner. Drinks were served quickly and efficiently. Now getting to the food... My girlfriend ordered the lobster Mac ($16) and I ordered the filet steak ($29). I ordered my steak medium rare. Our food came out and her lob Mac was watered down but had decent flavor and large chunks of lobster. Not great but no reason to complain. My steak (the most expensive entree on the menu) came out medium. I've worked in kitchens for years and I'm not the sort of person to normally send food back but I felt like it was a little too overpriced for me to justify sucking it up for something overcooked so I asked if they could try again. I waited another 20 minutes for a recook and there was maybe 20 other people in the whole restaurant. My girlfriend had already finished her food when I got my refire. It was burnt and cooked medium well. I almost feel as though it was intentionally overcooked for sending it back the first time. When I called the manager over he said that they held my original steak up to a chart and it was medium rare. He had the audacity to tell me I was lying about my steak temp. I've been cooking in high end steakhouses for 11 years. I know what a medium rare steak is and if you need a chart to figure out what your temperature is then you're in the wrong business. Overall the service of the staff was very good but the manager was disrespectful and either oblivious or unable to confront the kitchen staff on obvious wrongs. read more

I've actively tried to find something I didn't like at this restaurant, but I've failed every time (to my delight). Everything I've had here, from the pom frites, to the duck blt, to the lamb has been amazing. Their mac and cheese was also very good. The menu changes from time to time which offers even new menu items to try from and I've still been satisfied. This is definitely one of my go-to spots in Charleston! read more

Came here with a dinner groupon for $40. We tried the frites w/ garlic aioli, calamari, cauliflower apple soup, shrimp tacos, short rib tacos, graze salads. We ordered a lot more than we would have because of the groupon. The fries were great // salty and crisp. The calamari // looked like fish sticks, gummy, I think the squid is large and cut into rings or strips - this is not your typical calamari // came w/ a mayo based sauce and Thai chili The soup // sweet, heavy cream - I don't know where the cauliflower was but not in that bowl Shrimp tacos // this was probably the second best thing we ate // 2 in a portion, fried shrimp w buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles on flour tortillas Short rib tacos // generous portion of meat, soft and sweet, topped w a sautéed onion pepper sauce Graze salad // spring mix w carrot and beet curls // came w tacos Overall, the reason I'm giving two stars is everything was sweet. Every single food item was sweet. The dressing on the salads, the rolls, the butter, the tacos, the soup. The only thing that was salty was the fries. Salt, spice or sour notes would have helped! The server who sat the couple behind us told them while they were being seated that another customer was coming in an hour and would be wanting to sit at their table. He then asked them if an hour was enough time for them to be in and out. The place takes reservations but seems to struggle with holding tables while seating walk in business, as well. Overall, the place wants to be something it's not. read more

Oh Graze... I've been wanting to visit this establishment since I moved to Chas 8 months ago. I had such high expectations but was quite let down. The apple cauliflower soup was so salty I had to drink water while eating my soup. I wish the apple flavor was more pronounced - I barely could taste it. The scallop dish was boring and the scallops were completely translucent and undercooked. Don't get me wrong - I love when my scallops are slightly translucent in the center - the ones I got were completely clear, not a hint of white neither on the inside or outside. On top of everything they were cold while the risotto was nice and hot. As for the risotto, the flavors did not seem to make any sense to me, sweet and bland while huge chunks of ham were quite overpowering. I can make a better dish myself at 1/3 the price. read more

Went there looking to try their Chicken & Waffles and left after consuming one of the best burgers I've ever had. Upon learning the Chicken & Waffles were only available for dinner, I ordered a burger with a fried egg, bacon and sauteed onions that was unbelievable. Every bite was delicious, the bun was fresh and there was some sort of spread on it that was incredible. I opted for the side of buffalo blue cheese pasta salad that was just ok, but the burger was enough to ensure 4 stars. My server, Amanda, was excellent as well, very knowledgeable and outgoing and I will ask for her again when I return. read more

I was a little concerned when first looking at the menu as the dishes were rather fancy. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza and seems to be a locals place. That being said I tried one of their specials and it was excellent. I had the beef tenderloin with garlic and chive mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. The meat melted in your mouth and the tasted great. Others at the table had lobster Mac and cheese and crab cakes and thought those items were great too. read more

First time here and I must say I was impressed. Great foo and great service. Will definitely be returning. Very reasonable prices and a big selection. Do t be deceived by the location. read more

I found Graze on Yelp and it was a pretty good find. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was highly recommended and that's what I ended up ordering. I am not really a Mac and Cheese kind of guy as I find the concept a bit boring, but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. The Mac and Cheese came out in a little skillet and had a generous amount of Lobster. All in all it was a pretty good dish and I would definitely go back. read more

Steamed mussels were ok, but not great. About 50% were smaller ones with a harder consistency (my preference), the rest were larger and in many cases broken open. The tacos were great, though. I got the Citrus-Chili Short Rib and my wife got the pulled pork. Loved both of them. Atmosphere is low key and was busy, but not packed for an early Sunday dinner. read more

Stopped off for what my friend said was the "best meatloaf around". We arrived at about 5:15...the place was PACKED! Host asked us if we had reservations...nope! We were offered seats at community table or dine outside. (90+ temperatures) So, we opted for community table! Server (Nichole), was awesome. She was definitely hustling between tables. FOOD: we shared an order of House-Made Perogies (AKA: pierogi)with Caramelized Onions, Bacon, Creme Fraiche, Crispy Brussels. These were very good! Not my mothers, but very good! Thin "dumpling" style dough. Not "Matka's" which were a thicker doughy cover. We each had the meatloaf: House Ground Beef, Bacon & Veal Meatloaf, Pimento Cheese Mashed Potatoes, Collard Greens, Tabasco Ketchup & Crispy Onions. Again very good! Nice crust (flat top grilled?), huge portion! Tabasco ketchup was a nice surprise/flavor enhancer. Also, a huge portion of pimento cheese mashed potatoes. I wouldn't say that it was the best I've ever had but it was very good...and worth the trip over "the bridge"! read more

A friend of mine and I enjoyed Graze on Tuesday night. Atmosphere: Chic and modern Wait Staff: friendly and responsive Food: The salads were simply and tasty. The Korean BBQ and the Lobster mac and cheese was delicious. I will return. read more

Stopped in because of Yelp and glad we did. It's in a strip mall, but not mall food in any way. We ended up eating at the bar as seating was limited, but the food was worth it. The cucumber martini with Basil was INCREDIBLY tasty. Tried the lobster mac-n-cheese. Large chunks of fresh lobster, and nice sauce (however you could tell the pasta had been made some time before and left to sit, as they were all stuck together, making inedible globs every few bites-hopefully a one off and not normally served this way) I had the pork tacos, He had the shrimp (fried buffalo style w a blue cheese dressing) Definitely worth it. Owner is very hands on. We will stop in next time we stay in Mt. Pleasant. read more

We found Graze by accident while sitting in the parking lot of whole foods. Confirmed by other yelp reviews we decided to give it a try for a late dinner and glass of wine. A few days into our travels and a full day of exploring Charleston, we were completely underdressed for the environment of this place. I guess coming from the north east we both expected turned up noses and second looks at these two travelers coming in this elegant restaurant.. But everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating and though we didn't have a reservation we found a spot at the community table. Our waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed talking with her about the area and the food. Which brings us to the food! Since we weren't that hungry we only explored the mussels and the warm beet salad, both of which were two of the best things we had ever tasted. Plated beautifully, good portions, incredibly creative combinations, and exceptional fresh flavor. The next time we are in Charleston we are going back for sure and trying everything on the menu. read more

My son and I ate here last night, and we're very pleasantly surprised. We started with the calamari fries, I had the scallop entree, Sebastien had the chicken and waffles. We finished with the pecan pie cheesecake. All our food was prepared to order and very very good. The price was exceptionally reasonable for the quality. We will be back and will recommend this to anyone coming to the amount Pleasant area. read more

I'm pretty sure my sister and I lucked out getting into this place. I was nervous when I walked in because the age range is ...older... than I had been anticipating. Largely 50s and 60s, I would say. I think its because they are the ones who plan ahead and make reservations. Or because they don't want to bother to go into the city itself. Or because they're seeking value rather than a hip scene. Any way you look at it, the food here is tasty. I'd be happy to come back here and get the chicken and waffles again. The calamari fries were decidedly not what I was expecting (would not do again-mostly because I didn't ask about what they were exactly and they weren't something I would have ordered if I had known - my bad). And my sisters tacos were tasty but lacked finesse. Would I come here again? A resounding yes. Probably the only place we went to while in the Charleston area that didn't feel overpriced for what it was. And they have a large enough menu that I could continue exploring it! read more

Graze is well worth crossing the bridge from Charleston. The food is amazing and the portions are really big for a "foodie" place. The chicken and waffles were delicious and cooked perfectly. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. We liked it so much that we went back for carryout later in our trip for lunch! read more

Graze - Chicken & waffles - New American Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

We went to Graze because of the rave reviews about the quality of their food. We're glad we did. Each dish was unbelievable fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Wild Mushroom Papperdelle which I would absolutely recommend. The veggies were super fresh and the sauce had just enough creaminess without being too heavy. My friend ordered the roasted beet salad. The beets were warm and the ball of fried goat cheese added substance. The presentation of the salad looked like something from Chopped -- very impressive. The best part of Graze was that it didn't have the pretentious feel I was afraid it would. We went for lunch so the prices were reasonable and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. My one qualm is that I would have liked more veggie entree options (my friend and I are vegetarians). It would also be a great way for the restaurant to highlight the freshness of their veggies and creativity with seasonings. That being said, I would definitely recommend it. read more

Jimmy was our server and have done a great job. Good recommendations and great service standars (I am a waiter as well). Traveling from Miami Beach, we had enjoyed the Tuna Tataki as app and it was great. Crispy pork belly BLT was my main and it was great. Food is really good and well presented. Great a atmosphere. read more

Cool place and delicious food. This was a very casual place we went to for lunch. I had the chicken and waffles which were delicious. My son had the pulled pork sandwich with he really enjoyed. The salads were crisp and fresh. Overall a pretty nice lunch spot! read more

This place was amazing. I've been in Charleston for 3 days and Graze was the best food I have eaten here while visiting. It's located in Mt. Pleasant by Whole Foods. I had the garlic and tomato soup which was amazing. I also had the spare rib tacos. Also amazing. My mom had the wild mushroom entrée. So delicious. This place is so unique and worth going to. Lots of dishes you would have never thought about trying. It looks like it's closed when you drive by so check their hours and go! Prices are between $13-22. read more

Yelp, you did me good! I was planning my vacation and knew I was going to have lunch in the area so I turned to Yelp. Well, this place came recommended AND that DAY there was a Groupon ($20 for lunch, cost me $10!)... fate! Purchased and planned. BY FAR MY FAVORITE FOOD of 20+ meals in the south. Better than Pink House, better than Lady & Sons, better than Husk. yes, I know its saying a lot but legit.....SO GOOD. I got sweet tea and the corn flake breaded catfish with warm succotash and it was perfection! I want that succotash by the lb.... read more

Stunning! Prices were good for an upscale lunch. $10-15 plates. I believe dinner is twice the price. Waitress was very nice & recommended the award-winning Mac & Cheese as an easy to share appetizer. Oh my gracious it was amazing! Pork & collards tucked into layers of delicious cheese & pasta. I had the Cinnamon Scallops on Sweet Potato Risotto with Green Beans. It was wonderful! Just perfect. There was a Reuben sandwich and lobster roll served with fries (or salad) at our table as well. Everyone was very happy! I'll be back. read more

I have to stay in Mount Pleasant on business and the strip mall options are not usually enticing. After driving around, I trusted in Yelp and was not disappointed. Instead of a bar, there is a long communal table which was okay for me (a solo lady) but I still kind of missed a bar atmosphere. I started with the butternut squash soup which was, seriously one of the best I've ever had. It was swirled with pesto, which elevated the whole thing. For my main I had another pick from the appetizer list - parmesan grits, pork belly, and a fried egg. It was super rich so I was kind of glad for the small plate size, but memorable nonetheless. read more

The service was quick and the food was seasoned well. I had the crab cake Benedict and my husband had the prime steak Benedict.. both were very good and the steak could be cut with a dull butter knife! The only unexpected was the salad as a side dish... it was good but not described on the menu. The service was not only quick the staffed worked together well and anyone waking by asked how we were and if we needed anything. read more

This place was great. Food was excellent. We are there twice on a short trip to the area.

We have dined with Graze several times, both in the restaurant and from Uber Eats. We've never had any problems... until recently. Our meals, from appetizer to entree were sub par, but the tuna tataki was horrendous. It was GRAY and GREEN and had a disgusting odor. Not sure what happened, but there is never an excuse to serve up rotten fish. read more

Graze - Ordered from Uber Eats. Tuna was grey, green and smelled rotten. - New American Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Finally got a chance to try Graze out. Stopped in for dinner last week. We drove up and the place looked almost empty...however it wasn't, there were only a couple tables open. Our waitress was very nice, and knowledgable about the menu and ingredients. My staple appetizer is Calamari - so we had to get it. It was REALLY good. Breaded, and cooked very well. The pickled ginger mayo and sweet thai chili sauce that came with it were exceptional as well. For the main course we ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken with crème fraiche whipped potatoes, local mustard greens, drop biscuits and red peppercorn gravy (Chicken was Good - not NEARLY as good As Brians used to be at Park Circle Grill - Mashed Potatoes were UNREAL!!! The greens were overseasoned - The red pepercorn gravy was perfect. And our other Dish was Littleneck Clam Carbonara with bucatini, Guanciale, egg yolk, black pepper and parmigiano-reggiano. The dish was great, however the Guanciale (bacon from pigs cheeks) was insanely good. Crunchy, melty, perfect flavor. Overall it was a great meal. Will Definately go back. read more

Can the portion sizes get any larger?! *whew!!* Good eats, good people and good vibes. We stumbled upon this gem and it was a great choice. If you aren't super hungry though, order off the "Tiny Grazing" section of the menu and share. The portion sizes are out of this world (you'll get your money's worth) and you're guaranteed to go home with leftovers. read more

My wife and I went to Graze for the first time for Sunday brunch. Walking in, it's a small space, probably only 15 or so tables, and a nice sized bar with 10ish seats. Service was great and everyone from the minute we walked in was very helpful. The menu was quite diverse, from a wide selection of French toast and frittatas to poutine and duck confit. We went with a bananas foster french toast and a veggie frittata. The two star rating is mainly due to the diverse quality of these two dishes. The frittata was great...fresh ingredients and light. The french toast on the other hand was far below average. I love bananas foster but these were awful. The bananas were hard and did not have any carmelization. The french toast was just ok...a little mushy and undercooked in the middle but good flavor overall. I would love to give Graze a second chance but will likely do it for something other than brunch. read more

We stopped in for lunch based on the Yelp reviews. Yes, the food is great and yes, the staff was attentive, but the atmosphere felt like I was having a working lunch at the office. In fairness, it was 12:30 on a Tuesday afternoon, but unless you have on slacks and a button down; you'll feel somewhat out of place. This is probably a popular lunch spot for those who want to see and be seen to enhance their resume's. Again, the food was fine but I can't imagine going back. read more

This is our go to place for excellence! Great menu, fantastic food, superb service and always welcoming! We love the chicken livers and grits, the salmon tacos, the tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich, and on and on! Best sweet tea in town! On Sundays, we enjoy the chicken and waffles; it's amazing for a perfect brunch! This place is very unassuming and is located in a small strip shopping center with Whole Foods. Still, it's clean and most attractive. read more

Just because this restaurant is in a strip mall, don't let that stop you from trying it. We took our daughters there last Friday evening to celebrate a birthday. We were not let down. We started with a couple of appetizers: The fried chicken livers over stone ground grits and the "world renowned" pulled pork BBQ and collard greens with mac n cheese. Both were Awesome!! The girls both had the beef filets and both indicated their main courses were excellent. My wife had the baked salmon with the mustard glaze sauce and she absolutely loved it. I had a special for the evening of blackened Cobia over dirty rice. I have grown up eating sea food. I will tell you that the Cobia dish was the best way I have ever had Cobia prepared. The dish was outstanding and fabulously delicious. The dirty rice was fantastic. Our server was wonderful. She was just attentive enough to not be bothersome. She was outgoing, helpful in answering questions regarding the menu, and had a good sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We would highly recommend this establishment. It is great for foodies and folks that like a good variety on the menu. read more

Excellent burger! My last day in SC, I went here with my folks for lunch. My mom and I had a burger and it was a 4.5. They bring it out with a special mayonaise on the bun, but don't mention that on the menu or when ordering. Can't stand when restaurants do that...as if you're supposed to know there's some special sauce. Anyway, the burger was great! The fries on the other hand were so-so. Way too salty! My dad had a shrimp po-boy, that he thought was okay. The bun they put it on could have been a better choice. read more

I went here on a date. The date... not so great. The food was pretty tasty. I had the salmon and mashed potatoes. The price was good for the quality. I was a little shocked at how classy the place was given it's in a shopping center. The decor was interesting and well done. The staff were friendly and consistent. I'd probably go back again. read more

This place is simply one of the best restaurants in the Charleston area. The food is fantastic and they never let their menu go stale. I've been going for years and have met all the owners who still work there and are always super humble and kind. If you're a foodie in Charleston you should get to Graze ASAP! read more

The service was amazing and the food wasn't all bad for how quickly it came out. Lunch was excellent here and I loved their selection of wines and cocktails! I had the cucumber fizz, which was very refreshing. Will have to come and try dinner when I'm back in Charleston! read more

Ate here because Salt Water Cowboys had a 45 min wait, best decision ever made. Super good food! The tile fish special was spectacular.
