BARBURGER -single party
Julia R.

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 and sweet potato fries
Jeff S.

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.

I was told that Heavy's had the best smashburger in Charleston. It is definitely true. I had the basic cheeseburger, and it was the best smashburger I have ever had. It was perfectly done, with the crispy edges. Hubby had the red ranger, and he thought that was good also. The onion rings and french fries were delicious. We took advantage of happy hour, and you cannot beat a $5 margarita. They don't skimp on the alcohol. They also have my Firefly sweet tea vodka, which made me so happy. We finished the meal off with the lemon lime icebox pie. Wow, that was amazing. The only thing better than the food was the service. David was our server and he made sure we had everything we needed. Food came out so fast. We cannot wait to go back.

Onion Rings
Tiffani R.

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!

Patricia F.

Great food, fantastic service. Best burger I have ever had. The perfect smash burger patties, sesame seed bun, and awesome toppings.

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.

Patty melt

This is my fave burger spot in CHS... but do yourself a favor and get the patty melt! Always friendly staff and love the amount of outdoor seating. So delicious!

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.

Snuck in here on a Saturday, it was PACKED. We were able to grab a couple seats at the bar. Food was good- just some elevated bar food but it tasted fresh and I liked the sweet potato fries- they were salted well and not too fried. The ambiance is LOUD- they had the music blasting so if you are hard of hearing, this is not the place for you. They do have a lot of outdoor seating but inside is pretty small and limited seating.

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!

Patty melt
Chrissy F.

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.

Burgers are a bit "smashed" and had a nice, crisp sear to them and good flavor. Pickles were a gourmet, fresh style and the sauce was like a savory Russian dressing with strong dill flavor. I wish the bun wasn't so buttered but that's a personal preference. The fries though? Top tier. Super crispy but creamy and smooth on the inside, just enough Cajun seasoning and salt to make me want to shovel them into my mouth forever. And the price? An outstanding value for downtown Charleston. $60 before tip for 3 burgers and fries and a drink. Even less if you get there at happy hour. I keep passing by Big Gun and remembering I want to try it when I have already eaten... don't make the same mistake, get in there and give it a shot.

If you're getting food, definitely try the blistered green beans, poutine, and the farmer's salad (which is like a Cobb salad/bowl, it's amazing) *but* my all-time fave is the fried chicken sandwich - it's honestly one of the best l've ever had in Charleston. 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 went above and beyond, and the entire evening went off without a hitch.

The food at the surrounding tables looked equally incredible; I'd especially recommend the cheese plate and the tuna. As a bonus, there's a nightclub on the second floor that gets lively on weekends, so the fun doesn't have to stop after dinner. If you haven't been to The Peacock yet, do yourself a favor and stop by -- great food, great drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Our entrees were the rabbit, snapper, and scallops with sides of dirty rice, grits, and cabbage. The meat was tender and there were some nice flavors. The dishes were all decent, but very rich and heavy. So, if you like the feeling of that in your stomach, this place is for you. Our server was nice but a bit officious. For the price, we didn't feel the experience was worth it. We thought it was an attempt at elevated southern food that didn't quite succeed.

Everyone just fits in, no matter if you're the black sheep! Seating is a little limited, but worth the wait. I guess the first person I ran into was a manager, he introduced himself, (legit, "Hi my name is Bryan" and shook my hand!) (Post Script, the handshake is pervasive here, literally both bartenders were introduced to me and both came up and shook my hand.) I had checked this place out from other Yelp reviews and already knew I wanted the Fish and Chips, so after my beer order, I was shocked and awed that without asking, he brought the Malt Vinegar! You know it's gonna be the bomb already! The fish arrived very quickly! Bruh...this fish was legit. A large solo iceberg of fried perfection crested upon a wave of fresh made "chips " and they were clearly fresh made, not the frozen variety. The beer batter on this fish was so good I was in heaven. I thought it might be heavy and greasy, and yet somehow it held only flavor, crunch, and absorbed my Malt Vinegar to perfection. This place is packed with regulars and it clearly seems to attract other service industries personnel. All good signs of a good time! This may have been my first visit, but won't be my last!
