    This is me devouring my PubFare burger
    wendy s.

    I am not a big burger girl but these looked so good I had to try and I was not disappointed, it was the most delicious burger I have ever eaten. The special sauce was indeed special, there was a pickle and so much gooey cheese, I ate the whole thing with ease. I will follow them. Westbrook brewing is where I found them.

    The most elusive burgers in town. Known to set up shop at local breweries or beer shops. Low tide brewery, The Brew cellar, Westbrook, etc. More expensive than a typical burger, but pretty standard pricing for a food truck. And it is a double patty. FYI: When they're very busy there's no substitutions. However I would say that the standard Burger is similar in style to In-N-Out double double animal style. The burger does come with some kettle chips. Definitely worth tracking them down and trying. It can get busy and generally the wait is 15 mins... So grab a beer. Cheers!

    Disclaimer: This is a pop up food stand so you have to track them down to find these life changing burger patties. I had been hearing the Pub Fare hype for a few months before I finally made a point to be where they were at the right time. I love the classic style of a burger with a couple thin patties and melty american cheese. The keep it simple with pickles, onions, and a layer of special sauce on a Martin's potato bun. The ratios are perfect and a double patty will do the job although I would definitely consider the triple or even just two burgers at the same time. You'll typically find them hanging around breweries and beer bars around town. Check their social media for an up to date schedule on any given day. When I say it's worth it to track down pub far wherever they may be, I mean like right now! Go find them and enjoy one of the best burgers you'll ever have the pleasure of stuffing your face with. I happened to lock one of these double patties down at the Brew Cellar in Park Circle. I arrived early knowing they attract a crowd and was second to place an order. Other than a vegetarian avocado sandwich option, they legitimately only serve burgers. There's no substitutions other than how many patties you want on there. Like a machine they pump out burgers off a flat top grill and get them in the hands of customers as quick as possible. By the time I had my burger (and chips) they probably had close to twenty orders behind me. Don't be the one at the end of the line who misses their chance.

    Pubfare has a streamline process and it so wins. It's a delicious gooey cheesey oniony burger. I get them at Lowtide where they come about every other Tuesday and they draw a crowd of groupies. I can see why. SO yummy.

    This is a pop up so check their social media to see where they're going to be and get there early! We tried them at Westbrook and I think they're there every week. Super simple, no substitutions, no extras, just really good smash burgers. They're ready in just a couple of minutes!

    The Standard Burger: Double Burger with Cheese, Onions, and Special Sauce

    PubFare isn't exactly your stereotypical restaurant or dining experience--it is a pop-up vendor that jumps from location to location each day. They post where they'll be cooking on their socials, so check those out if you want to hunt them down! When visiting Charleston, the local hype surrounding PubFare was crazy! Everyone kept telling us that this is the best burger you can find in the area and it's a local favorite that you wouldn't find online. When we went, PubFare was located at Westbrook Brewing for lunch on a Friday. The line was extremely long (about 30-50 people deep) and it took about 50 minutes to get to the front. PubFare is a very specialized and 'what you see is what you get' type of food. They offer 1 menu item, 1 way, and at 1 price - this is the gold standard for the 'KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID' principle. After getting to the front, we ordered 2 standard burger meals that they offered. The total price was around $23, and included 2 burgers with 2 bags of chips, which is a bit expensive for what you're getting (part of the reason why we took off a star). The burger itself was DELICIOUS and was a gold standard for a 'Smash Burger'. It's messy, cheesy, flavorful and just a great classic burger overall. It comes with cheese, 2 patties, onions, pickles, and their special sauce. Definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking to grab a quick bite to eat and maybe socialize with some friends!

    In the running for best burgers in the Charleston area for sure. These guys keep it simple - two patties (you can pay for more), pickles, onions, special sauce, potato roll. That's it. Perfection. I've been stalking these folks on social media for weeks and finally found my opportunity when they came a few miles away from my home. Pub Fare is a pop-up, so every week they go to a variety of locations. Easiest thing to do is to follow them on social media. They post their locations for the week during the Sunday/Monday timeframe. When I went, I ate about 1.5 sandwiches. Yes that's right, I went back for seconds. I couldn't help myself. For $10 a double, the price is right with these burgers as well. I'll be back and you should look these guys up, find out where the pop-up is going to be, and make the trek.

    I'm amazed by this burger and left with wanting more. Saw they were going to be at a brewery and have been drooling over their pictures for awhile so when it worked out to check them out one night, we couldn't pass it up. What an awesome concept, a pop up burger stand. I don't know what they do that makes this burger so damn good, but I hope I continue to see them around. If you're thinking you just want a snack and decide to share, do not do it. Matt and I did, and we regretted it immediately. We are still scoping it out to find where and when we can get our next one.

    If you ever see them pop up at a brewery or other business, I highly recommend you give them a try. I love their version of a cheeseburger: double patty, gooey cheese, onion and pickle, on a soft bun. No need for lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, or ketchup. Heaven.

    First time to visit this place. Great service and the food…read morewas unique & very good. Loved the Smashburger and Waffle Fry Hashbrowns. The Smashburger was unlike any I'd had before as were the Hashbrowns. The others enjoyed their Gluten Free selections that were prepared in a separate fryer, which is so important for Gluten Free & Celiac sufferers. Their choices were Bacon egg n cheese biscuit, Fried Chicken (some of the BEST EVER) biscuit, Corn Dog and Waffle Fried Hashbrowns. This little place is a hit with the college students along with others enjoying downtown Charleston. Parking is available directly behind this place if your not lucky enough to find street parking.

We ordered a deluxe burger and a crust burger with curly fries. Both burgers were super good and juicy, and served piping hot and came out quick! The curly fries were a good choice too. 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. I'll be back though, it was delicious!

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 bartenders were fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone's glasses were never empty (water included!). We also ordered one of our favorite dishes, the Farmer's Salad with Chicken, and it was absolutely delicious -- so good, in fact, that we dove right in and forgot to take a photo first! 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!

    I hate giving bad reviews, but I will if I need to, however, this place is exceptional!…read more First it's got a super comfy vibe, think, "I've just walked into my aunt's backyard bbq with all of my family". 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!
