We ordered a $15 rectangle Detroit pizza, which was absolutely superb. However, they serve such a flimsy, plastic knife and fork. You can barely cut through the pizza much less eat it! I am emphasizing "strongly" that the business invest in better plasticware. My friend had a Diet Coke that was served in a can with a straw and it wasn't very cold. They don't provide ice, which is also a bit of a problem for people who like cold soft drinks. Also ice is pretty much necessary in water and some people like to also put it in their white wines. Other than that, what a great little restaurant downtown, Charleston is lucky to have them

Tony and I decided to give Short Story Brewing a try for our Valentine's Dinner. We found on street…read moreparking quickly only a few short steps from the entrance on this Rainy Sunday Afternoon! The building (though Vintage) was Open, Bright and Airy! A major plus to this Seasonal Depression Sufferer! We went to the bar to place our order! We opted for the Knotty Boy Garlic Knots for $10 & the Fully Loaded Detroit Style Pizza for $15I had a bottle of water and though he was very disappointed that it was ONLY their WV Craft Beer served, he went with what the bartender recommended (closest to a PBR & Budweiser that they offered ) for $5.50, total with taxes & Tip was $42. We were surprised that the food was out in like 15 minutes. We fully expected to wait since Detroit Deep Dish normally takes 30 minutes to 45 minutes to cook fully. This led us to believe it was PAR BAKED for faster Customer Service which to many is NOT A PLUS! The Garlic Knots were very doughy and extremely dense in texture. Not a fan! The service was fast and friendly but for the atmosphere, price and the fact they are trying to be trendy, the paper plates & plastic cutlery was a BIG NEGATIVE!! I know myself even if Melanac Hard Plastic for plates is okay, but I want true Silverware!! The sauce has a really Great flavor and the cheese pull was very nice on the pizza. The sauce served on top, a big big plus!! I live in Ripley, WV and drove 35 minutes one way to enjoy this meal, but the question is...would I do it again?? Probably NOT! I give them a 5 out of 5 on atmosphere and ambience they nailed that! I give them a 4 out 5 on Customer Service because the food came too fast!! I give them a 3 out 5 for the food, the sauce was perfect but everything else about taste and flavor was a hit and miss. The score might have been higher if I had left off the Knotty Boy Garlic Knots!! The beer though I tasted it wasnt bad but Im not a beer drinker, my hubby was very disappointed so thats 2 out of 5 stars and the tableware scores a zero!! I wasn't on a picnic and the paper and plastic screams picnic or lazy kitchen staff to me!! So, would I recommend? I must say overall, 3 stars out of 5 stars! I recommend you go and decide for yourself!

My only frustration is that you can't call in an order for pickup at lunch, which led to a frustrating experience today. (It's fine if they don't take call-ahead orders--that's not my main issue.) I walked down to La Porte, stood at the cash register for a few minutes, noticed an employee sitting outside on the deck, and someone saw me in the kitchen area but never acknowledged me or said someone would be right with me. I don't mind waiting, but the lack of acknowledgment was off-putting, so I ended up leaving. I'll definitely be back, the food is really good, but the service experience could use improvement. If I owned a business on Washington Street right now, I would be calling the city regularly about the condition of the landscaping and cleanliness of the street and sidewalks. Walking from the Capitol to the café is unpleasant: it's smelly and unkempt enough that it even affected my appetite. I strongly feel that for businesses to thrive, the city needs to match their investment by maintaining the surrounding streets and sidewalks. It would make a huge difference for both patrons and business owners alike

I ordered a Detroit style vegetarian pizza, thin crust with a balsamic glaze drizzled on top. This was the second time we were here because I loved this pizza so much the last time we came through WV. My husband ordered a Reuben. It was full of real corned beef, juicy and not too thick. His fries with salt and pepper completed his meal nicely. I had a bite (OK a couple bites) and it was fantastic! But you probably want to know about the service right? Well, our server, Keeley was fantastic; she took great care of us, checking on us many times during the evening. We were there for a couple of hours as there was trivia night so we had a great time. There's nothing I didn't like about this restaurant the staff or the food I would give each of them five stars.
