I tried the chicken ciabatta sandwich. I loved the bacon, Brie, and apple combo on it! It was very flavorful. My husband really liked his scallop risotto! I would definitely come back for lunch to try their other sandwich options.

We were looking for somewhere to stop for dinner on our way to the airport and, after doing some…read moreresearch, saw that Betty Lou's Bistro had rave reviews. We decided to give it a try, and I am SO glad we did. We had had a rough meal the day before, and I really didn't want to leave Charleston on a bad note. When we first walked in, I have to admit I was a little apprehensive seeing the menu written on a chalkboard on the wall. But then Heidi came over to us...Heidi is the reason we stayed, and the reason this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We had been considering the chicken ciabatta sandwich and the pork chop, so we asked Heidi what she thought we should get. She said that if she could only order two items off the menu, she would get the chicken ciabatta sandwich and the pork chop -- without knowing that those were the two items we had been considering! She also recommended the fried green tomatoes. All I can say is WOW. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Absolutely delicious. But what really made the experience special was Heidi herself. She was kind, caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a wonderful meal. She was so understanding when I told her about our not-so-great experience the day before and completely reassured us that we were in the right place. And she was right! Heidi even went so far as to look up the brand of pimento cheese we loved on the fried green tomatoes and had me take a picture of it from her phone. That little extra touch said so much about the kind of person she is and the level of care she puts into her guests. Betty Lou's Bistro was exactly what we needed to turn our Charleston experience around before heading to the airport. The food was fantastic, but the hospitality was what made it unforgettable. I would highly, highly recommend Betty Lou's Bistro. And if you're lucky enough to have Heidi take care of you, tell her we found the pimento cheese up north -- and we already bought it! Thank you, Heidi and Betty Lou's Bistro, for ending our Charleston trip on such a wonderful note!

We sat waiting in the outside dining patio that is super cute with running fans and music playing. The patio area was clean when we sat down, but I assume it probably isn't that well kept up with during the weekends without someone checking the area periodically. Service was friendly, only 2 people running it when we went during lunch time on a Tuesday. The food is literal heaven. Haven't found an authentic Greek spot until now. Loved the feta pimento cheese dip- never heard of it so it peaked my interest. Will be going back just for that on my fries. Nothing was bad, or mediocre. The mango hand pressed lemonade was really good too. Can't wait to bring more friends and family here.

Instead of greeting us, welcoming us and then directing us to the outdoor sitting area for pets, she dismissively greeted us with: "Your dog can't come in here and you need to sit outside." This is a problem because there's no place to check-in at the pet friendly patio, requiring us to check in at their only host stand. It wasn't just the words, but the tone and negative attitude. Instead, she made a negative of Kiss Cafe's open sitting outside for pets. An alternative greeting she may try with customers is the following: "Welcome to Kiss Cafe. We have a special area for your furry pet outside. Please join me as I lead you to sitting area for you and your pet." I was dining at a restaurant in Charleston and mentioned I had a very unpleasant experience twice with my pet at an unnamed restaurant. Without any further prompting, she asked me if it was Kiss Cafe. She said she had worked at Kiss Cafe and the staff is known for having a hostile attitude to pets by its patrons.

The fried green tomatoes were another standout--crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A special shout-out to District Manager Kim R. for taking the time to check on us and ensure everything was perfect.

The look is similar to all Tropical Smoothie Cafes leaving the ambiance unremarkable. Some of the items on the menu can be a bit pricey and this is not a store I'd attend often due to the cost. Overall, it's your typical Smoothie joint and despite a few flaws is overall a solid option if you're looking for lunch or a quick snack.
