The food, service and ambiance were great! With a lively band playing uplifting gospel music, it was a wonderful way to enjoy Sunday brunch. The energy was contagious! Greeted by one of the owners with true southern hospitality, we were made to feel immediately welcome. The wait staff were also very friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations and sharing favorites. We started with warm complimentary popovers followed by a decadent she-crab soup that was truly amazing with big pieces of crab - definitely not lacking. We moved on to the shrimp and grits which was a great follow to the soup. Super tasty. We also shared a Caesar salad to break up the richness. However, we then moved on to dessert which made the feeble attempt to have anything remotely healthy seem somewhat pathetic. We shared a half order of the French toast which was scrumptious but the grand finale and true star of the show was the bread pudding. I was speechless. Easily the best I ever had. They put dried cherries in it which really makes the dish. It somehow managed to be heavy and light at the same time. Definition of indulgent. I washed it all down with a complimentary glass of birthday champagne and a great Bloody Mary that included a small skewer of shrimp, okra and a thick piece of bacon that could have been a meal in itself. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion. read more

We visited Charleston for our 44th wedding anniversary, and based on reviews, we made reservations at Hall's Chophouse for dinner on our anniversary evening. We were not disappointed! If you are able to request Hussain for your waiter, you will be even more pleased. He was attentive, knowledgeable and a bit entertaining. Our meal began with the manager bringing us glasses of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. Hussain explained the restaurant's dishes in such colorful descriptions that it made you want to try all dishes. The piano and guitar playing downstairs was beautiful as well. Please go to Hall's for dinner when you are in the city of Charleston. read more

Visiting friends in town, and they made the reservation at Halls. We sat upstairs, which I personally really enjoyed because the atmosphere was lively, but still allowed conversation at a table of 6 - a rare-enough combination these days! The service was fantastic, with every staff member treating everyone as the valued guests they are. My wife and I shared the dry-aged ribeye, with the sautéed mushrooms and onions topping. Absolutely delicious, and overall right up there with the best steaks we've ever had! All the sides (mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, creamed corn and asparagus) were excellent as well. "A memorable meal", which is the highest compliment I can give. Go - you will be happy you did! read more

Review #3 of My Charleston vacation 20-plus Review Challenge: Since Hall's Chophouse opened in 2009, it has gained a reputation for their stellar steak. It is a family owned business located on historic King Street approximately a block north of Marion Square and a block west of the Charleston Visitor Center. With their highly prized steak is an elegant ambiance. And the higher prices expected in an upscale restaurant. It is an exquisite choice to celebrate a special occasion. The special occasion that we celebrated here was starting off our Charleston vacation with a magnificent dinner. We happened to find Hall's Chophouse by walking along King Street. When we paused to look at the outside menu, a lady who seemed to be a local, told us that they have the best steak. Meanwhile, the place were giving off such good vibes that we walked inside. From the time that we walked inside the historic building, the service was phenomenal. After we were seated, the waitress explained the different steaks and menu items. Throughout the meal she would make sure that we were having a great experience. What made the service extraordinarily memorable was when the owner Mr. Hall checked up on us. How often do you see that? And after we finished the meal and were walking onto King Street, Mr. Hall thanked us for visiting. That gave a very good last impression. We sat in the room that is to the right of the main room. I would describe it as elegant with a historic Charleston vibe. The noise level and lighting was perfect. So was the food. Hall's Chophouse is more than stellar steak. I could attest to this from their shrimp and grits. I was more in the mood for seafood than steak. Perusing the dinner menu, I saw shrimp and grits. It costs $38. This was the first time that I ever had shrimp and grits. What an introduction to the Low Country favorite. It was out of this world. This wasn't filler shrimp. They were jumbo shrimp and lots of them. The tasso ham gravy, onions, peppers, and stone cold grits melted in my mouth. The dish was a lavish portion. Preceding the meal, they served a basket of hot bread. With the food, I drank a Coke. The way they serve it is that the Waitress opens a 16 ounce bottle and pours it in a glass (not bottomless). In hindsight, I should have ordered a beer or glass of wine. Halls Chophouse was an exquisite choice to celebrate Charleston with our first meal in the City. The food, service, and ambiance were spectacular. read more

Well we had another outstanding dinner at Halls chophouse in Charleston, South Carolina. We made reservations about four weeks ago, but it was a Friday night and so our reservations were for 9:30 PM. We went and waited by the bar and the bar staff was fabulous and again took care of us. Everyone of the Bar staff was great, bud the gentleman who was making drinks and in between served us a fabulous meal was Jack. He couldn't have been sweeter, provided outstanding service, and was a study in constant motion. As it appears everyone that works at Halls must be.. The food was incredible.. The drinks delicious. An amazing establishment.. we will return on our travels from north to south! Thank you to everyone at Halls, who made it such an incredible experience, again! read more

Hall's Chophouse is one of those family-run places that seems to have been around forever and was highly recommended by our friends. My husband's name happens to be Billy Hall too, so we figured we had to check it out. We walked in and asked to be put on the waitlist for seats at the back bar. Even while we were waiting, the bartenders came by multiple times to check on us and brought us drinks while we stood along the wall. Then the owner, Billy Hall himself came over, shook our hands, and welcomed us. I absolutely love that kind of old-school customer service, it feels rare these days. The vibe was classic steakhouse: classy, lively without feeling pretentious. The drinks were strong, well made, and exactly what we were looking for. Once we got seats at the bar, we ordered the bison nachos and the steak martini as a snack. Both were so delicious. The nachos were loaded with flavor but somehow still stayed crispy and never got soggy. I was honestly in heaven eating them. Great people-watching, attentive bartenders, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. We had such a great time here and can see why it's been a Charleston favorite for so long. read more

Halls Chophouse feels like Charleston translated into steakhouse form: handsome, lively, deeply hospitable, and just polished enough to make dinner feel like an event. I was in town for work, joining a handful of colleagues who had traveled in from our various remote outposts, and Halls was exactly the right place to turn a productive day into a proper night out. The room had real energy, the service was outstanding, and my filet was excellent, with a spread of classic steakhouse sides that disappeared quickly enough that the exact details have been lost to history. Somehow, our schedule ran long enough that I arrived dressed appropriately from the ankles up, then looked down and remembered I was wearing loud Nike sneakers. I spent the first few minutes feeling mildly self conscious before realizing that nobody cared: the crowd covered a real range, and the restaurant had the confidence to feel elevated without making anyone perform for admission. That ease is what I remember almost as much as the steak. Halls captures something unusually Charleston about a great night out: a serious meal, a room humming with people, and enough Southern graciousness around the edges that even the guy in loud Nikes leaves feeling entirely at home. read more

The service is excellent. Everybody wished us a congratulations on graduating and made it a welcoming ambiance. I got the tuna tartare to start, which was very fresh with the right touch of acidity. The tomahawk was cooked to a perfect medium rare with a nice red wine sauce (you can skip this if you want), and the flavor and seasoning was on point. The lobster Mac was creamy and had the right amount of lobster, the loaded mash potatoes were textbook, and the Brussels sprouts were the best I've ever had. Overall such a fantastic meal and experience, and I would definitely come back for a special occasion. 4.8/5 read more

I love Halls. Food and service seriously can't be beat. It's an A+ meal every single time and for every single dish. The employees are all beyond nice. Need to use the restroom? They'll make way and lead you to where the restroom is located. Dropped your napkin? They'll bring you a fresh and folded napkin without you even asking. Ordered the stuffed mushrooms, ceasar salad, halls chopped salad, fried calamari, she-crab soup, pork chops, Special wagyu, filet mignon, rib eye, chocolate cake, and cookie skillet. We also had like 4 baskets of bread....arguably too much food for 4 people so they neatly packed up all of our leftovers for us as well. See you next time Halls Chophouse! read more

Yes, Yes, Yes! From the greeting to bringing the check, all staff were outstanding. The owner came in and introduced himself as we were sitting at the bar and saw him throughout the evening at many tables. Super nice touch. The menu, the appetizers, drinks and food were all well described, presented and delicious. My son started with the Espresso Martini and it was delicious (even though there were no beans on top) Heard about the She Crab Soup and, ya, it was delicious! Let's talk bread...I bake and sell in California and, ya, their bread is delicious! And being from California and knowing Napa wine, we went with a ZD and was a fantastic addition to our night! Talk about a good steak, it's here! I've had many from many places and so glad I went with the dry aged Kansas City Bone in Strip. This place knows its meat. You heard it here, definitely must go and I'll be back for sure next visit! read more

We go to Halls a lot and always bring out of town guests. The service is stellar and we have not had a bad experience. Brunch, lunch, or dinner, Halls is great. We honestly feel they have the best fried green tomatoes, hands down. No better bacon at brunch anywhere. Bar menu is reasonable for lunch for what you get. Ambiance is fun downstairs and a little noisy but upstairs is nice and we usually request a booth. They really roll out the red carpet for their guests. read more

Continuing my streak of only writing one star or five star reviews, I felt compelled to write a review for Halls.

The food, the ambience, and most importantly the service were absolutely impeccable. read more

Exceptional experience from start to finish. We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary while visiting Charleston, SC, and Halls Chophouse absolutely delivered a top-notch dining experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a high-energy, friendly host staff that immediately made us feel welcome and set the tone for the evening. I started with the Prince Edward Island oysters on the half shell, which were fresh and excellent. My wife enjoyed the grass-fed filet mignon, while I ordered the 45-day dry-aged ribeye. Both steaks were outstanding - incredible flavor, perfectly prepared, and exceptionally tender. The experience went far beyond just the food. One of the owners, Billy, introduced himself and then personally brought over two glasses of champagne to congratulate us on our anniversary, which was a very thoughtful gesture (even though my wife doesn't drink alcohol and champagne isn't my preference). The restaurant manager also made a point to stop by and congratulate us. Our server, Aidy (pronounced "eighty"), was awesome. Extremely knowledgeable of the menu, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable throughout the evening. As is tradition at Halls, they brought out and displayed the various cuts of steak while explaining the characteristics of each - a great touch that added to the experience. We ordered the mashed potatoes and the pepper jack creamed corn skillet for sides, both excellent. Dessert was the perfect finish: vanilla crème brûlée and whiskey bread pudding. One thing that really stood out was how well orchestrated the entire restaurant operation felt. From the hosts, to the servers, to the managers and support staff, everyone worked together seamlessly to create a polished and memorable dining experience. The staff worked hard, and each person clearly knew and performed their role perfectly. It was impressive! The dining room itself had a loud, energetic vibe that added to the atmosphere of the evening and fit the overall Halls experience perfectly. Honestly, there's not much we could have asked to be better. Halls delivered an exceptional dining experience all the way around. read more

This is a 10 star review. Food is incredible and options are plentiful. This family owned and operated business is one of my favorite places to support. The people and service and food are fabulous across the board. The number of employees working here 10+ years or longer is impressive. I personally recommend the wet aged ribeye, the French press coffee, the old fashioned and the key lime pie. The main room is more loud than other rooms so if you want peace and quiet ask for the back rooms but if you like live music with piano, saxophone, trumpet and guitar cozy up to a seat in the bar or the bar dining tables. Love, love, love, this place. read more

Service first and foremost was exceptional; we had a lovely woman (did not catch her name sadly) that was incredibly attentive and friendly, truly exceptional service. Food was amazing, spicy shrimp, lobster mac, filet, scallops, collared greens, loaded mashed potatoes and prime rib. The prime rib didn't have a ton of flavor and this was probably the wrong restaurant to order that, but it was roasted to perfection. Our group of four was very happy, left full with plenty of leftovers. Plenty of praise around the table for the food. Four stars because the restaurant was too loud for me. It was overwhelmingly loud that I had to step outside at one point for a reprieve. A four top table that was normal sized and we had to yell to be heard. At another point I completely dialed out of the conversation because I was struggling to hear. My only complaint, otherwise a great experience. read more

Perfect Anniversary Brunch Experience! We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Halls Chophouse during their Sunday morning Gospel Brunch, and it was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional--attentive, welcoming, and truly top-tier. To make our anniversary even more special, we were treated to complimentary champagne, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor--there were no complaints at all. Listening to the soulful, uplifting gospel music while enjoying brunch created an amazing atmosphere that made the experience even more meaningful. I highly recommend making a reservation--you will not be disappointed. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying brunch in Charleston, this is a must-visit spot! #HallsChophouse #CharlestonEats #GospelBrunch #SundayBrunch #AnniversaryCelebration #CharlestonSC #FineDining #BrunchVibes #ExceptionalService #HighlyRecommend read more

Halls Chop House is hands down our favorite steakhouse in Charleston and quite honestly one of the best restaurants we have eaten at anywhere. Every time my wife and I visit the city, Halls is a non negotiable stop for us. From the moment you walk in, the level of hospitality is unmatched. Being welcomed and checked on by multiple layers of management throughout the meal makes the entire experience feel intentional, personal, and exceptionally well run. The food is consistently phenomenal. On our most recent visit, we started with the Halls Chopped Salad, which was a perfect ten out of ten. I ordered the 12 ounce filet mignon and it was cooked flawlessly, easily another ten out of ten. We finished with the crème brûlée, which ranks among the best we have had in the country. Service, atmosphere, and execution are all exactly what you expect from a restaurant of this caliber. What makes it even more impressive is how well priced the experience is compared to other high end steakhouses. Kudos to Halls Chop House for continuing to set the bar. There truly is no place like it, and we will keep coming back every single time we are in Charleston. read more

Halls Chophouse absolutely delivered a fantastic night out. We started with the Halls Chop Salad and it was incredible--both the flavors and the presentation were spot on. You can tell they really pay attention to the details. For dinner, we ordered the 8 oz filet and the mushroom risotto. The filet was cooked perfectly (medium rare just as we requested) and was everything you want in a great steak. The mushroom risotto was delicious and full of flavor, but for me (wife), it was just a bit too salty. My husband agreed. Next time, I would definitely ask for less salt because the dish itself was excellent otherwise. We skipped dessert, but honestly didn't feel like we were missing anything after such a great meal. The live music was amazing and really elevated the entire experience. The crowd and vibe were just as good--some people dressed to the nines, while others were in shorts, flip flops, and t-shirts with ball caps. It was a fun mix and made the whole place feel welcoming and energetic. Overall, an awesome experience and a spot we'd absolutely come back to. read more

We had an excellent experience at Hall's Chophouse. After hearing rave reviews from friends and locals, we were excited to dine here. We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance, and we could only get in at 4:30 or 9pm. So we had an early dinner! I recommend calling way in advance if you know you are going to be in Charleston. The restaurant is a beautiful two story building, with room to accommodate an intimate meal for two or a large family or group. The service here is superior. Our waiter, Kyle, was welcoming, knowledgeable, and personable. We enjoyed the presentation showcasing the selection of steaks they offer. One of the owners also stopped by our table to make sure all was going perfectly. We ordered the Caesar salad and chop salad, and both were very good. Our filets were perfectly cooked and tender. We ordered the loaded mashed potatoes (not our favorite) and the cream corn (good). Our perfect ending to the meal was the cookie skillet. It was served hot with ice cream and caramel and chocolate sauces. Delicious! I highly recommend checking out this steakhouse l! read more

Is there anything to say that hasn't already been said about this Charleston mainstay? You will be treated like a king or a celebrity from the moment you arrive.

I'm always a little skeptical trying a restaurant in a touristy area, but this restaurant really blew me away. Our group started with the oysters Rockefeller, and fried green tomatoes. My favorite was the oysters from the apps. Mains were Australian NY strip, braised duck with sides of Brussel sprouts and creamed corn. I have never had braised duck before and it was so delicious! The creamed corn was so good, I would maybe pass on the Brussels next time. Aside from everything being fantastic, our server was the absolute best, she was a really great saleswoman! read more

We just love halls! This is our fist Sunday brunch && it was wonderful. I do think this is the best filet in town. Always cooked perfectly, a little charred on the outside, and packed with flavor. For brunch I really enjoyed it served with eggs and the breakfast potatoes. We didn't have a reservation but were seated quickly which was wonderful. Brooke was our server and she was wonderful. Friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. I love coming here and the classic steakhouse vibes but with such positive and energetic staff. We'll be back for brunch again! read more

Very good experience but not great. If I could do 4.5 I would. I'd been before but not in a while. I think it loses a star for the steak not being top notch. I've had much better steaks at other high end steak houses (in other cities). Burrata, Mac and cheese, corn were all very good. Bread was a highlight. Service was very attentive and nice. My other small negative is your experience partly depends on where you sit. If you want intimate, sit upstairs. If you want more lively steakhouse, sit downstairs. Only problem is they don't let you choose. It was really good there are just other good steakhouses I'd rather go to. read more

This was our first time here and we have very high expectations when it comes to steak. To start, we got wedge salads and the tuna tartare which was great. It was very fresh and light!! As for our main courses, we got the filet. It was pretty good and had a nice pepper crust!! I will say it is up there on our list. For sides, we got the pepper jack creamed corn skillet, lobster Mac n cheese, and wild mushroom risotto. They were all excellent but the creamed corn was my favorite!! For dessert, we got the chocolate chip cookie skillet with extra ice cream which was soooo good. The service was quick for a steakhouse. I will say it is more upscale so the prices are more expensive but everything was good quality. read more

Another incredible special occasion meal at Hall's. Sometimes people tell me "oh, that place is overpriced and the steak wasn't great." I often wonder if we are talking about the same restaurant.

Even though I'm a resident of Charleston, I had yet to visit Halls for snobby reasons - it's a tourist spot, there are other places, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, a friend is in town visiting, and wanted to go to dinner. We're both carnivores, so steak was the order of the day. I did pick a spot off the beaten path, but at the last minute snagged a reservation for Halls, and figured I'd "check off the box." I'm extremely happy I did. Last year I cursed myself by going to The Oak, which was like Outback Steakhouse 2.0; Halls (at least in my experience) was top tier dining at its finest in terms of presentation, service, hospitality, and overall vibe. Yes, it's incredibly loud in there, but that's life. My friend ordered the filet and I, the dry aged ribeye (with black truffle butter accompaniment), both medium rare. Lobster macaroni and cheese and the roasted jalapeño corn, along with the crab cakes and onion soup. The ribeye had fantastic flavor, though I secretly wished I grabbed the NY strip instead. No real reason, but it's a genius marketing move to display the cuts of meat to the table before ordering. That's what screwed me up. But, to be fair, I do that everywhere I eat ("maybe I should have ordered that"). Cannot say enough about the service. A+. Along with our incredible server, no less than two members of management came to our table asking if we needed anything, and that was in a full house. And they all seemed GENUINELY interested in making sure we were happy and satisfied - I didn't feel any of them were going through the motions. I don't usually drink, but I polished off two pineapple martinis and probably could have had five more. Also, I have to note we NEVER felt rushed - it's a hectic room, but the chaos is under control. Totally relaxed and comfortable. Halls Chophouse absolutely delivered for me, and I will certainly be back without a doubt. If you're staying downtown with limited time, I'd definitely recommend it if you can grab a reservation. And, after experiencing Halls, give the little guys a try down the line. read more

If one eats brunch there on Sundays one must acknowledge that the food is good. Not "the best ever!" But good. The service however, is always exceptional regardless of which meal you eat here. What is intolerable is every Sunday is having to listen to the "Plantation Singers" torture us with LOUD gospel music. Every Sunday. Always too LOUD! The Halls' Sunday brunch is a tourist destination and having gospel music screaming in everyone's ears is a contrived creation by old Mr. Hall because for some inexplicable reason, he thinks that everyone enjoys LOUD gospel music while trying to eat a peaceful breakfast! He is wrong! Want a better breakfast with no LOUD music of any sorts? "Lillian's Petite Market & Eatery." Awesome food! read more

I honestly don't know where to start... from the warmth and friendliness of ALL the staff to the incredible meal my husband and I got to experience/share. We were first seated downstairs next to the bar, but after asking for a different table (which I absolutely HATE doing, but there were 2 guys just standing and talking to girls right next to us) Malcom made sure to promptly and professionally resolve the small problem. He was so incredibly kind and understanding so major shoutout to him. They moved us upstairs to a very private corner table where we were able to relax and fully enjoy our experience aka our meal. Our waitress upstairs was also incredible. She really took her time with our questions in helping us figuring which cut or steak would suit us best. She was patient and made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. We ordered the bone in filet mignon (one of her recs) and it was just to die for. The flavor was spot on and they made sure it was cooked exactly how I wanted it. They split it for me and my husband giving him the more rare part and me the more cooked part (this was our request). He also got the wagyu, which he said was phenomenal and just melted in his mouth. For sides we got the okra and mac n cheese. Both great. But man that okra surprised me and I could've eaten the whole basket by myself. We were celebrating and they brought us complimentary goodies. It was just the perfect touch and truly made us feel valued. We don't live in Charleston, but I absolutely can't wait to come back just so we can dine here again. Truly incredible time at Halls. read more

I had dinner recently at the downtown location. Overall it was a great experience. I'm only docking a single star because while I appreciate the service- it was a little over the top. It wasn't necessary for the staff to continuously approach us while we were eating to say how thankful they were we were there. Once was plenty but it happened five times and it was a bit excessive and was an unnecessary interruption. That being said, everyone was very warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is nice, classy but I did note some people wearing tshirts don't think they enforce the dress code anymore. Or maybe it's more lax during the week. The food (as always!) was exceptional! We ordered the 8oz prime rib, bison steak, Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. The flavors, the cuts- absolutely delicious. It's a great spot for dates, business meetings, or a family dinner (older families, I would not recommend bringing kids here as it is fine dining.) Put this on your list if you're looking for an exceptional steak and service. read more
