I ordered fried crispy spring rolls with lettuce wraps and dipping sauce. They were a fresh and tasty item. They had 3 different flavors but they all tasted non distinct to me. I also drank a classic Vietnamese drop iced coffee and it hit the spot. It's a unique and interesting spot in Charleston and at least worth a visit.

We tried the quesabirria tacos and a Mexican bowl with grilled chicken. The tacos were pretty good--though we've had slightly better consommé--but the bowl was delicious, with flavorful rice, beans, pico, veggies, cheese, and plenty of salsas to mix in. A solid spot for a quick Mexican bite. We ate outside, and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

As they were closing due to rain, Brandon and his wife were gracious enough to give us a baguette and half a loaf of seed sourdough. As a self-proclaimed bread connoisseur, I can say Brandon's bread was simply exceptional. If you're a lover of true sourdough, Brandon's version is everything you hope it will be--firm, textured crust, a beautiful ear, springy, well-textured crumb, and a flavor profile to match. Well done, Brandon! Keep up the exceptional work!

We had been in Columbia at City Limits BBQ (amazing!) when one of their employees told us about…read moreKing BBQ and that we need to try it. We finally got there. It is the quintessential BBQ joint with a fun adidas flare. You don't know whether you're down south or in Chinatown. We started with some beer and ordered the hush puppies and fried ribs. It was a great way to start! They were both delicious. Three of us went with the pork combo and one of us had the duck service. I don't want to forget the sides! The sides!!! These may have stolen the show for us. The red beans and rice, the slaw, the Szechuan collards, oh my!!! One was better than the next! None of us were disappointed! This is truly an Asian take to southern BBQ. The food is great. I've been to their sister restaurant, JackRabbit Philly and that's definitely more my speed and taste preference, both places are a must try though.

Merrow's Garden Bar is a pop-up at Workshop and serves beer, wine, and cocktails on Thurs-Sat…read morenights. I discovered Merrow's on a Thursday night with the Charleston Beer Runners. It was the Thursday before Halloween, so many of us were wearing costumes and the owner (Kevin) offered us a small discount, which was a wonderful gesture. They offer wines by the glass or the bottle, which would be good if you were sharing with a crowd eating on the patio. I opted for the sangria ($8) which was delicious, strong, and a large pour for the price. It was a chilly night so I opted for light ice, and the owner/bartender happily abliged. Some of the other cocktail options, including one with cold brew coffee, also sounded delicious. This is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine, beer, or a cocktail after work or on the weekend. You can grab food from any of the eateries and sit outside and enjoy a meal and drink with friends.
