    Barburger
    Mary W.

    This was one of the best burgers I've ever had! The patties have those crispy thin edges that you just can't put down. I also loved that the fries are crinkle cut. We drove straight here on our way into town on a Friday afternoon. It was jumping, but we managed to find parking in their lot, which is a nice size! We sat at the bar and placed our to go order. I ordered the classic Barburger and my boyfriend had the Uncle Gene's. I did order bacon but I didn't get it, which is okay except it was $3. All good. They have a nice selection of beers which is obviously a standout for this spot. Loved the cool, old school diner feel inside. Highly recommend!

    This place was great!! We went around lunch time and it wasn't too busy! We did however have to sit at a tall table with another party on the other end, so if that bothers you then you may have to wait for the next available table. But our server was great -and we LOVED the Heavy's sauce!! A great lunch vibey spot just a bit away from downtown.

    After hearing that this is the best burger in Charleston for months, I finally got to eat at Heavy's! We were quickly met by the hostess and were seated immediately outside which is what we wanted, so it was great. Service overall was pretty quick. The only reason I'm docking 1 star is because we ordered a bottle of rosé and it was not chilled or anything. Which is fine because we are not picky customers and it is pretty casual dining, and we just needed some ice, but it would have been nice to have the wine chilled. Especially because the price of the food and everything is high for a burger joint, but again, it wasn't a huge deal! The burger was delicious! I got the barburger and it had great flavors and a yummy sauce on it. The fries were also crisped to perfection and perfectly seasoned. The food was really good! I will definitely be returning!

    First time at this location. I've been to the Daniel Island location once before. Both are great locations with awesome food and service!

    Barburger and sweet potato fries

    My favorite burger in Charleston hands down. Heavy's is all you can ask for in a burger joint, no frills, a menu that isn't full of "fluff" and a real good burger! Perfectly smashed patties, fresh ingredients and a soft, but hearty sesame bun makes a "simple" burger a work of art, pair that with their crunchy jumbo onion rings and their homemade dipping sauces and you got a meal you will be dreaming about. A negative that can plague a Downtown restaurant is always the parking, but with an onsite lot, and street parking sandwiching heavy's, finding a spot is never a problem. On the smaller side, a wait is almost always expected, especially on a colder or rainy day, but never longer than 15-20 minutes, and with a full bar grabbing a drink makes the time pass faster while waiting to be seated.

    As big around as a dessert plate. Yum!

    A day at the aquarium? AND when it's pretty outside? This calls for a truck bed picnic, featuring Heavy's! They are super convenient to access with their big gravel parking lot and ordering online option. Food was ready after about 15 minutes (on a busy Saturday lunch rush) and was so good. Our group got the OG barburger (classic burger kinda vibe) and the uncle Gene's Ranchero (think sweet and Smokey). The produce and condiments to ration of burger were perfect and they hit the spot. We also got the sweet potato fries, regular fries, and a side of onion rings. Don't be deceived by the order of onion rings only being 5 - they are big around as a desert plate. Everything was flavored great, the onion batter slightly sweet to complement the onion. The sweet potato fries slightly charred to complement the sweetness. And my picky toddlers DOWNED the entire fry bag by themselves. See you next aquarium day Heavy's!

    Went to Heavy's for the first time today-right around noon. Parking was tough, but we found a spot. There is limited seating inside, but ample seating outside. The weather was perfect so we sat outside. I had the Bar burger-single patty with sweet potato fries. The burger was delicious and the single patty was all I needed. The Heavy's sauce is delicious and they didn't overload it. My nephew had the kids chicken which was a very good serving side for a kid. Our server was greats friendly and welcoming and kept water bottles coming. They even bring water for dogs. The prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious. A must try in Charleston!

    Barburger with sweet potato fries
    Lalliet V.

    Forewarning: burgers taste delicious and are messy! The burgers were smashed style and the sweet potato fries were so good. Honestly the sweet potatoe fries were the best side out of the regular fries and coleslaw. If your in the mood for a good burger I highly recommend this place. The onion rings were also very good appetizer. The batter was crispy and thin. The server was super nice and answered any questions I had about the menu.

    Salad with Fried Chicken
    Nancy P.

    The salad was delicious. The chicken had wonderful flavor and I enjoyed their dressing. Service was friendly and fast. It a cute little restaurant with plenty of parking and a front deck for outdoor sitting. If you have not tried Heavy's Barburger give it a try.

    Onion Rings

    WOW, do they have good burgers. Easily the best burger Ive had in Charleston. The onion rings are also some of the best Ive had. I imagine everything on the menu is really good. Its just classic, really good bar food with a casual feel and great bartenders!

    Ali R.

    Going in to eat a simple burger and having expectations exceeded was the experience I had coming to this place. From the chili, to the burger and even the margarita, it was all very delicious. The margarita was surprisingly better than I expected like it was made by people that love making cocktails. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The chili, which was an afterthought option, was tasty with a bit of spice that wasn't overwhelming. What an awesome spot for delicious food & SURPRISINGLY tasty margaritas. Don't sleep on their margaritas.

    Patty melt
    Chrissy D.

    Great menu variety at Heavy's! From salads to sides and main events they got ya covered. Big perk is the private gravel parking. Upon entering you seat yourself, if able to find a spot because this place can get pretty busy. After finding a seat, a few minutes later one of the servers brought us a bottle of water and placed our drink order. My fiancé and I shared a $24 pitcher of beer that yielded around 2 drinks per person. The selection of local beers is appealing and good value for the pitcher. For appetizer, we tried their onion rings which were spectacular! Generous round onions and lightly battered, the $8 small basket can feed around 2-3 people. For the entree I noticed the patty melt which is my go-to and my fiancé went with the bacon onion burger. The patty melt itself was so juicy and soft, 20/10, loved every bite of it! We were interested in the lemon box pie but learned later it was never placed on the tab so didn't get a chance to try it. It was for the better because the meal itself was filling. Service was friendly and quick to order. I think we were around a timeshift change because our 2 rotating servers never came back to close the check. We figured we would approach the counter to close the check and pay but learned that the counter was for takeout only. Waited a little bit longer until we approached another staff member to pay for our meal to leave.

    Was craving good burger and went to this place. I was absolutely delighted at how delicious the burgers were! I usually never finish my food because I get full really quick but I ate everything on that plate. The food also cane out fast and it's a great place to go to if you want a comfortable sit down place with amazing burgers.

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.

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.

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!

The staff was friendly and the restaurant itself was pretty busy even on a Sunday evening. The time it took to refill waters were a bit longer due to the amount of patrons I believe. The tabling I feel is kind of maximized for efficiency. Even though we had space it still felt a little cramped. Of course the building itself is small so you might run into a staff by accident if you turn a corner too fast. Food wise the ribs starter was delicious. For entries we had the pork chop and fish with corn bread as our side. The fish was delicious although a little more dry but the sauce they had made it perfect for me. The corn bread was also a bit more dry than normal but it might be intentional since it was cooked on a cast iron pan. The pork chop however we did not like at all. It was more like pork belly but kind of had a steamed texture since the meat itself was lacking flavor and the sauce it was paired with just tasted off. The pork meat itself was tough and chewy. I'm not sure if we possibly ordered the wrong thing. I would have to say I honestly would only go here if friends wanted to go but I would probably not choose to go here myself again. The price for the food did not add up to the experience or the taste especially since you have to go out of your way to get here. I also feel like it's more for the tourists who are visiting from out of town and are staying in downtown.

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.

    It's been 11 years since I posted my last review for this place. I was concerned when I made the…read morereservation that maybe it had lost its luster since I was last here. Happily, I was wrong! Everything went extremely well from the check-in experience, to the food, and the service. Our reservation was for 6:30pm but we got there a full hour early. They gave us a table immediately, no problem. Our server was Maisie and she was wonderful. Patient. Attentive. Super friendly. We ordered drinks and the Pimento Cheese Fritters. They were incredible! We also tried the She Crab Bisque and it was over the top! Delicious and full of lump crab meat. When Maisie brought us our first plates, she asked us if we were considering the pork chop, which is exactly what we were interested in. She said there were only two left and held one for us. This is the kind of excellent service she provided throughout the meal. The pork chop was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a wonderful wood smoked flavor. The whipped potatoes and roasted heirloom baby carrots were the perfect accompaniment. Nothing has changed inside or out since my last visit. The vibe is Charleston laid back and comfortable. I'm so glad I came back.

    Poogan's Porch was a solid pick. I'd last been the 15-20 years ago, before I met my hubby. For his…read morefirst time in this town, I figured I'd try it again. It was Labor Day and things seemed on the quiet side in town. The ambience was great and we were on the second floor. We got right to the libations (he had a Malbec and I, the cider they had available). And then the entrees - hubby got the shrimp and grits, that's usually my dish but I was glad he got it so I could taste. I got the fried chicken, with hoppin John over white rice, and collards. So good! And I wasn't even hungry but I had to test the "award winning" and "famous" labels on our dishes. The chicken is a huge serving - 4 pieces of juicy, tasty chicken - an entire quarter. The hoppin John was good - I just wish there were more hoppin John and less rice. Service was 5 star. Donte was a real treat and looked after us well. For dessert, I was hoping for bread pudding, but it wasn't on the menu, and everyone in the dining room was ordering the banana pudding so we got that to share. It is a large serving, enough for two. The presentation was cute, the taste was regular, and I didn't taste a hint of alcohol (it was a bourbon or some other alcohol).
