Our family of four recently and everyone's meal was excellent. My wife raved over the Irish stew, the fish & chips reminded me of the last time I had fish & chips (Dublin, Ireland), my son enjoyed the open face roast beef and my daughter enjoyed her customized madra rua burger. Don't forget to order a Guinness!! The seating and atmosphere is definitely genuine Irish Pub. Great service. Will be back!

We had a rehersel dinner set up at another pizza place in town for Sunday evening. The other place called us during the day to let us know that they were without power and would not be opening. We scrabbled and called Community Pizza. They were willing and able to take our party of 30 people and make a great time of it. They set up a buffet style line for us with pizza, salads and pastas. The wait staff took care of our table with ease and never rushed us out. We even hung out to play trivia. Thank you for being a part of our special weekend.

We called in after a long journey from the UK as the Grill was quite close to our hotel. Nice selection on the menu. I had the Bang Bang prawns and lobster roll. Well executed and tasty. Quickly served. Service was good & prices reasonable. They offer a nice selection of beers. We enjoyed our meal and will be back if we have the opportunity in the future. A good experience.

Southern Living Magazine named the Charleston Crab Shack "One of the 10 Best Seafood Spots in South Carolina." With overflowing buckets of fresh seafood, great BBQ, daily specials and a rockin' happy hour, it's a good old elbows-on-the-table family feast.

Wife and I stopped in for dinner last week and left absolutely stuffed! We both had the she-crab soup, which came in a bowl. Although it was good, it was not quite the caliber we remembered on Mount Pleasant in the 70's. I had the salmon stuffed with crab and my wife had the special casserole with crab, cheese, tomatoes & shrimp. Both were excellent, but very rich and filling! The Cole slaw side was some of the best I have ever tasted.Thank you very much for such a wonderful review and we hope see you again. It was our pleasure serving you. Sincerely, David Dean, Operating Partner

Although our wait on a Sunday morning was only 10 minutes after being told about 20 minutes, service was very slow and my selection mediocre. Our server came to our table very quickly, took our orange juice order, brought them quickly and when we needed a little more time to order, indicated that they would be back in a few minutes but didnât return for a much longer time. Those of us who ordered the avocado toast loved it but my order of The Boring 3 came with the wrong meat (I asked for turkey sausage but got bacon) and the hash browns had very little taste. And then after we had all finished, we waited a long time before our check was brought. So overall, I was quite disappointed, although it was an inexpensive brunch for 4 of us.

The food here isn't very good. The Ribs were not very meaty and the bar tops are filthy dirty. The menus are also dirty. After I had eaten more than half of my lunch, the Bartender finally checked in with me. When I told him that I didn't really like the Ribs, he replied, "oh, OK". Then he pretty much ignored me for the rest of my visit... Not going back.

The food here is amazing. They cook the best southern food here. The food is always full of flavor and delicous. The menu has so many items for one to choose. I love the chopped steak with mac and cheese. I can get fat on drinking their sweet tea as well. If you get here around lunch time it's going to be a long wait. They also don't sit you until your whole party is there (even if it's just two people). Be prepared to wait. But good things/food comes to those who wait.

This review is long overdue!! Hi Nick!!If you just so happened upon this restaurant, you may face uncertainty as to whether you should try it out. DO IT! You will love yourself and possibly leave with three extra dishes like we did. This charming seafood kitchen, that started as a food truck, is bringing Nola to Charleston the right way!! The food was absolutely outstanding and the service was remarkable!! Ask for Nick (loved him) or Jada (loved her)!Now, on to the food. The oysters were out of this world delicious-I definitely wish the order came with more than six. We originally wanted the oysters rockefeller, but received a substitute because they were out. I can't remember the name of it, but its probably what we should've ordered from the start!! FLAVOR FLAVOR FLAVOR! The chef is doing everything right at LoLA's!We then ordered the Crawfish Mac and Cheese, Duck Fries, and the freaking LOLA SALAD!!! Who doesn't love mac and cheese? It was so creamy; the crawfish was fresh and it came with a praline pecan cornbread...ORDER EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH THE CORNBREAD!! I've never had cornbread quite like it and I only want it with pecans from now on. (We asked for an entire to-go box of cornbread for the road) It was sweet, moist, deliciousness!!! The duck fries, the duck fries...Fries, duck confit, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, fried jalapeños....Frying anything makes it better in my opinion, but this is honestly the perfect combination of fried bits. This dish is also probably great for a hangover...or the munchies (wink wink). Either way, you'll be satisfied!!! Full disclosure: We only ordered the LoLA salad because we decided our meal needed some type of veggies. But this salad had these round pieces of fried goat cheese heaven and my night was made!! The goat cheese balls are coated in praline (I'm assuming the same pecan praline used in the cornbread) and then fried (if I'm remembering correctly). They have a sweet, nutty crunch on the outside and velvety smooth, YUMMY goat cheese on the inside. (Should've ordered some of those to go as well) Everything was just so delectable! We finished off our meal with an oreo bottom key lime pie that reminded me of my grandma :) (my daughter's fave) and three to-go boxes with gator bites that are paired perfectly with a honey jalapeño sauce, another order of crawfish mac and cheese, and lots of cornbread!!!The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was outstanding from start to finish. I felt like I've known Nick and Jada all my life! They were so sweet and had lots of great conversation, stories and food suggestions! And we of course, have zero complaints on the food. I just wish you guys were closer :( Jasmine, Samaria, Sonya, and Jailyn say hi. We shall return very soon. -W/ love from NC
