    We came here for lunch since we were in the area. The yeamans hall shopping center where this restaurant is pretty unrecognizable in a good way. The inside was pretty roomy and they covered the porch so it was pretty warm and comfortable to sit there. We ordered the vanilla milkshake and strawberry milkshake. Which I vote delicious for the vanilla milkshake. We also ordered the orange Julius , dirty soda and it was very refreshing and delicious. We ordered the pizza and this is the thin pizza. We also ordered the crispy brussel sprouts and general tso chicken wings and they both pretty good. We were pretty happy with the food and the milkshake and so did the kids. We call that a win!

    The bar "stools"

    LOVE this place!! What a fun & unique concept. Whoever did the renovation from gas station to restaurant, did a fantastic job! I love that the "bar stools" are the old long car seats that feel more like a couch than a chair. My husband and I are from New England. I read an article that stated this place has what they are calling "northeast style" thin crust pizza that can be eaten hot or cold without losing its flavor integrity = curiosity immediately peaked! We cautiously ordered a cheese pizza to test the waters as other pizza we've had in the South labeled as related to the North, has been anything but! However, we were both instantly impressed with this pizza after the first bite! It does have that thin crust I recognize with excellent flavor. We're already looking forward to coming back! I would definitely recommend checking this place out! :)

    Meat Stick 3000

    My kids picked this place out because they saw pictures of hamburgers. I knew nothing until I came in. Despite a full lot we immediate had a seat and saw there was seats to spare. Outdoor seating was nice and warm despite it being a bit of a chilly night. Decor is 50's gas station, kind of a hipster rockabilly thing. Honestly the menu wasn't my cup of tea, lots of fancied up stuff. My daughter ordered the corn puppies, and after asking what a "Meat Stick 3000" was I ordered that. All three of us had burgers and fries. Corn puppies turned out to be mini corn dogs and quite good, the Meat Stick 3000 is basically a patty of Greek spiced meat on top of fries with a creamy whipped feta and tzatziki sauce and salad veggies, and I really liked it! Burger was A+. Smash style, gooey cheese, decent bacon, and a sauce I can't quite describe but I liked. The fries were outstanding too, and in a rare feat actually seemed to get a little more crispy as they cooled off. The real tell was my kids. My daughter always just says "it's good" when I ask her about her food and her inflection tells you how good it is. My son usually just says "fine". My daughter we said "this is really good" and my son said "it's amazing". He also ate his entire hamburger... which I have never seen him do in one sitting before, and he has never eaten anything before the fries before. He even had a strawberry milkshake which he liked. Best of all was the price. I'm used to leaving these Charleston restaurants feeling like I was robbed but the price for a burger and fries here was right around Five Guys price. Everything was super reasonable! Menu also has a decent assortment of alcohol and dirty sodas, and some pizza. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Really liked our server, but I didn't remember her name and I didn't take a receipt (save a tree!) to look up later. My kids both said Johnny's Garage was one of the best places they have been too and I think they are onto something. Fast food, fair prices, great flavor, not too greasy or heavy, and friendly service add up to a nice find. J.Ja

    I really want to come back and try more things, but after my first visit, I had a good experience. It was a quiet afternoon with most people sitting at the bar. I was with a networking friend. We grabbed a table and we received great service. I had a burger with salad and he had the Italian sandwich. We both enjoyed our food.

    Johnny's Garage in Hanahan definitely nails the vibe -- the decor is fun, the theme is creative, and the atmosphere makes it a great spot to hang out. Service was quick and friendly, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. The vanilla and chocolate milkshakes were pretty underwhelming, and the garage fries had no flavor at all. With such a cool concept, I was hoping for a menu that matched the energy. It's a great space with potential, but they've got some work to do on the food side to make it worth coming back for more than just the vibe.

    Meat stick. Tzatziki. Crisp fries. Onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta.

    Really neat spot! Newly opened and seems to be running well. The meat stick 2000 was my favorite and the fries were really crisp. The pies were good, though I did wish for a little bit more crisp toward the middle. Flavor was spot on though. They serve a good amount of rotating draft beers and the bar seemed quite cozy. Dim lighting was nice for a rainy day. The restaurant has a great vibe. Since they're still new, I'm sure some shifts around the decor and such will be made, but I did notice a small stage on the large patio which I assume will be used soon for live music. Looking forward to it! Staff were all friendly and accommodating. Lots of parking since it's next to a Piggly wiggly. Will definitely be back to try the sandwiches and more appetizers soon! Also, I accidentally left pizza leftovers....hopefully some staff member got to eat some even though I know you shouldn't

    Overall a good place to hang and grab finger food ! Plenty of seating in and outside with heaters if you are outside! Got seated and bartender/ server came and grab our order . Eventually it got pretty busy and we had to search for help. Seems like a small crew but I'm guessing it'll develop soon . Burger was good and love the buttery bun! The fries and corn puppies were not my favorite but my partner liked it! Chicken parm special was real good. Wish it was more options on the menu! Also try out their dirty sodas.

    Stumbled upon this place on a late Friday evening with a friend. I absolutely loved the garage vibe! The outdoor bar seating was very cool. The outdoor seating area was large with a stage and had heaters. The inside bar was also spacious with accessible restroom and a lounge area that was more private with tables. Televisions were indoors and outdoors. The staff were very friendly throughout our visit, very attentive in checking in with us. I ordered a non-alcoholic beer and the mini corn dogs, very delicious. Such a cool spot, would absolutely return when in the area.

    Food and service were outstanding! The dry rub wings were delicious. The overachiever pizza was great, crush was not too thick and not too much sauce. The atmosphere is very cool with garage decor and a mixture of soft rock and country music playing in the background.

    Talk about a little gem. I love to support local businesses and this one takes the cake. Situated in Hanahan is the most unexpected restaurant. You enter into a patio area and as you go into the restaurant it's like stepping into a garage fixed with seats, gas pump, even a craftsman tool box cabinet in the bathroom. Ashley was my server and she was amazing. She let us know the specials and I settled for a burger and some fries. They have the GOOD RANCH. IYKYK ;) It was so delicious I honestly forgot to take a picture of it. Definitely recommend. They even have a "lounge" area for more intimate dining.

    Absolutely loved it! Perfect blend of nostalgia and great food. Will be back as a regular. The burgers was so juicy and flavorful. The fries... cooked just right. They have that lightly fried potato texture that I love. Service was excellent and we had no wait. They do also offer a military discount which is nice.

    Decided to try one of Charlestons newest venues in Hanahan called Johnny's garage. The place is great with a great bar and a super nice patio area which is where I choose to eat. They have a large stage area there as well. The service was great and timely, and the food was brought to the table fast and piping hot. I loved their fries the best. They were light golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender inside the way quality fries should be. I highly recommend this place. I only gave it 4 stars because it was hard to distinguish which door you go into and didn't see handicap parking. But I will definitely be heading back soon. And I highly recommend the Parm dog and fries

    We came later at night, and were pleasantly surprised that they keep the kitchen open till 11pm. People were trickling in still for food & drinks. Not to busy though. I love the interior and the atmosphere this place could bring. The decor is really fun & my favorite part was the van seating, super comfy. Service was kind of all over the place though & was very focused on restocking. Milk shake was runny & we were a little disappointed at the menu options. Was really looking forward to some custom food options & cocktail mixes that matched the vibe. Wanting to try Johnny's Garage again but maybe after they get into the swing of things with a new place.

    I met a friend for lunch and we sat outside which was so nice! No wait at all on a Friday in May,…read morebut it quickly filled in. We both had a hard time choosing what to order. They serve both breakfast and lunch all day. I loved the energy salad, it was filling and light and had great flavor. We also split a donut which I highly recommend!

    This place has been on my list of breakfast place suggestions since they opened, and every single…read moretime someone asks for a brunch spot I mention that I have been meaning to try this place. It's a great trendy location on the edge of Park Circle, conveniently has a small parking lot in addition to street parking and a tiny city lot close by, woman owned, and decorated super warm and inviting. So I really really wanted to like this place. Maybe it was the day I chose to go. I used YELP to reserve a spot on the waitlist, and met a friend for brunch before going into Highwater. Maybe they were unusually slammed. I ordered a Buzzed Donut, coffee rubbed bacon, with an over-easy egg on a pop biscuit doughnut with a side of shredded hashbrowns & mocha dip. Sounds amazing and unique! But the one I was served was burnt, hard, and had obviously been sitting under some heat too long and was past the point of being served. I politely brought it to my server's attention both dark coloring, hard texture, and burnt taste were affected, and while she did inquire, the answer was that it was the last one so a re-order was not an option. I was not trying to make a stink to my server or make my friend late to the festival, and they couldn't rush a new item, so I ate around the hard/burnt part politely. When the bill came, the server informed me she took 15 percent off that item. Everyone has off days, and I really wanted to like this place but the more I think about it the crazier it is to think I paid 85 percent of a meal that shouldn't have been served. When I worked in food service, I would have never served an item in this condition. I would have simply apologized that I didn't realize the kitchen was out, taken the item off the bill, and brought a replacement item or dessert at no charge. I had excitedly announced it was my first time trying this place when the server first introduced herself, and I'm just disappointed it wasn't 100 percent wonderful.
