    Fruit side 9/20:26

    The finest dining experience in all the land. Ask for Donny to make a passionfruit lemon drop. Sugar rim on the cake for brunch. Anything you order you will be satisfied. Nothing else compares. Billy I still love you. Hubs does too so it's okay.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    Delicious bread

    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!

    I love brunch at Halls, always wonderful. They are always so packed, but the food is always perfect, comes out hot, the service is always tremendous. Today we had Usain as our server for brunch, and he went above and beyond.

    Continuing my streak of only writing one star or five star reviews, I felt compelled to write a review for Halls. After living in New York for almost 40 years I've pretty high expectations for a steakhouse. Halls blew every single one of those expectations out of the water. The food, the ambience, and most importantly the service were absolutely impeccable.

    The service was wonderful. The Ambiance was terrific. The Food was delicious . It is my birthday that is why we went and they were so nice and gave us champagne. Talk about treating your customers right. Thank you Now we Both ordered the Filet Mignon . I had 8 oz and my friend the 10 oz . Mine came out purple and I sent it back , no problem this happens when steaks are not temperature checked. But when it came back it still wasn't cooked medium pink red center it was still raw purple . So I gave to my friend and I ate some of his ,was not a huge deal and we overlooked it because we had enough to eat and it was delicious. We also had mashed potatoes side, macaroni and cheese side plus bread . This is a very expensive restaurant but the food is delicious.

    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.

    Wet aged Ribeye
    Stacy C.

    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.

    Very friendly staff and the food was fantastic! Fun vibe as there was live music and we were greeted by so many of the staff upon entering the restaurant because we were celebrating a birthday.

    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

    Ask the Community - Halls Chophouse

    Is there an elevator?

    No elevator

    Are dogs allowed to accompany us for gospel brunch in the outdoor seating area?

    Absolutely not

    Is there parking?

    There is parking on the street. Depending on the day and time you can pay at the meter or it's free.

    I'd there a dress code?

    Business casual. Jeans and a polo or button type polo are fine. Ladies- anything is good for them.

    How late do they serve food? The hours say they close at 2:00 am, but i'm wondering if it's only cocktails past a certain time. Thanks!

    24/7 if you check the dumpster

    Can we sit at the bar without a reservation? Especially if we come around 5pm?

    Absolutely! But the bar fills up quickly.

    Any gluten-free bread/toast options for brunch?

    I'm really not sure but it is absolutely THE BEST restaurant in Charleston and Number 3 in the USA!

    Do the steak prices come with sides or is that a separate price?

    All the dudes are a la carte. A bit pricey but it is definitely well worth it.

    Are there outside dining options?

    Inside only

    Is there valet Parking?

    Yes

    How much is champagne?

    Champagne is $45 to $95.00. Have fun. I know you will

    What is your corkage fee?

    It's a fee for corking.

    Are young kids welcome?

    Hi, Alicia! Yes, young kids are welcome. We have a limited children's menu available, upon request, too.

    When will the Nexton location open?

    Hi, Cindy! We are looking at August, but I have not been given a definite date yet.

    Celebrating twenty first birthday. Is there a better seating area or are they all good. Sunday Brunch or a week night. Want this to be a birthday he will never forget?

    21st birthday I would do dinner versus brunch on Sunday. Though brunch is amazing I think dinner with a great steak and amazing glass of wine is the way to go. All the seating is great for dinner. Upstairs is a little more quiet but for a 21st… 

    Any idea on vegan accommodations for patrons?

    As a vegan myself, I attended that restaurant without calling before. The team was great and did their best to give me some vegan dishes and as I was there with a big team of meat eaters - I definitely felt special! However don't expect luxury food.… 

    What's the likelihood of being seated for Sunday brunch if you haven't made reservations? Party of 2. Thanks!

    Bar is first come first serve, that is your best bet! Brunch resos fill up months out so I doubt you'll have much luck getting a table.

While the bartender was nice, fast, and good at her job everyone else around her just didn't seem to care to provide service. The chips on the trio platter were beyond stale and since servers didn't care to serve the top deck tables were left unbussed and dirty. Not sure if this experience was a case of severe understaffing or just negligence on the management. I'd recommend going to literally any other rooftop bar for a more elevated experience where the staff actually wants to serve the guests.

(On occasion, I rant about how we need more cocktail bars and wine bars that don't serve food at all or just snacks like nuts - don't get me started.) Last Saint is a really cool dual concept cocktail bar. The front of Last Saint is more casual - small, cozy, allows walk-ins. But you can also make reservations (or try to get lucky walking in) at the Annex. The Annex is their weekends-only cocktail experience in the back of Last Saint. You walk to the back of the bar and press ring the bell by the yellow door. Someone answers and seats at one of six seats at the bar and three small (but private) tables. The Annex is a no-menu experience. The friendly and creative staff ask you questions about your preferences for drinks and then make you something that fits the bill. It was personal and fun, and we enjoyed all the drinks we had. A reservation at the Annex is good for a 1.5 hour time frame, which was perfect for us to have two drinks before closing out and heading to our dinner reservation. We sat at the bar, which I loved, because we got to chat with the staff and watch them make our and others' drinks while we enjoyed our creative cocktails. The staff have a wide knowledge of cocktails and an almost endless supply of ingredients to choose from when making your drinks. A truly fun experience. One I haven't had in any other city. I wish there were more bars like Last Saint!
