Sticky Fingers

Sticky Fingers Ribhouse has been smokin’ up the BBQ scene in the Southeast for the past 25 years. We’re known for our authentic Memphis-style slow-smoked ribs, no-sauce-needed hickory-smoked wings and mouthwatering barbecue pork & chicken. With classic si

While traveling down South, we thought that BBQ should be part of the experience. We found Sticky Fingers on the Internet. It was nearby and looked quite good. We got there a little before 6 p.m. and realized we were there in time for Happy Hour--a nice plus. We were seated in the bar area and the bartender was also our waiter. He was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. My wife ordered a salad with pulled pork. The serving was huge. The salad fixings were fresh and crisp and the mound of pulled pork was substantial. The also have 5-6 bottles of assorted BBQ sauces on the table, so she could flavor the pork to her liking. I had the 2 meat dinner with pulled pork and ribs with 2 sides. I chose hush puppies and sweet potato casserole. Again, the portions were huge. I think the ribs were among the best I've ever had. They were meaty and the meat fell off the bone. The pulled pork was tasty & tender and I got to sample all the sauces on the table. My wife helped me eat the hush puppies and they were fantastic. The sweet potato casserole was laced with pecans and brown sugar--another winner. We were stuffed and the bill was quite reasonable. If we're ever back in the area, we will seek it out!This is awesome! Thank you for the great review and kind words about our staff! We do our best every day to bring the freshest and highest quality smoked bbq to every table, so it warms our hearts to hear we haven't lost our touch. Thank you so much for stopping in. Can't wait until next time!

I am impressed. No, seriously impressed. My husband and I had dinner here for our wedding anniversary last month and loved it. We loved it so much, we came back and celebrated my sister's birthday! And, I came back without him for lunch, but don't tell him ;) At this point, I'm just looking for reasons to celebrate so we can make reservations at Burtons...The service is always stellar. The servers are knowledgeable and you can tell they've been trained to intentionally engage. They make the experience even more enjoyable!And the food is delicious and well-prepared...consistently. Each time I tried something new from the menu, and each time the meal was lovely. And, as a Vegetarian (pescatarian), there are a number of options for me, which I love. Plus, they will almost prepare anything you ask, and any way you ask. That's a part of their service culture. Brilliant! Lastly, and most importantly to me, because everything is made fresh, they can steer clear of allergens for you. That sealed the deal for me. I am allergic to both blue crab and coconut oil. They asked about allergies each visit, and prepared my meals accordingly...and even served them on square plates so there was no confusion at the table. Nice! I truly enjoy Burtons. It's quickly becoming our new favorite place to dine.

Wine selection was large and you could try all of them in small quantities if you wznted.The cheese and meat plate allowed for many choices. Portions were much larger than the norm on these plates and the six item plate was more than enough for dinner for the 2 of us. Bread served was excellent and unlike most places there was enough.Friendly prompt service. Try it !Hi Mr. Jim ,Thank you so much for coming into Uncork.

Went here for a light meal with friends who had eaten here many times. Had Asian ribs and a special menu cheeseburger and truffle fries. Everything was excellent and our bst meal on this trip to Charleston. I can’t wait to go back and play with the beer menu. Outstanding waitress, food, and drink.

Acme Lowcountry Kitchen specializes in local seafood, if we cannot source it locally it is sourced off the East Coast of the USA! We do not serve seafood from any other area. We of course never serve any imported seafood. We truly believe in supporting Am

We had a birthday girl who was originally from Charleston who wanted to go back there to celebrate. Nothing like the food in South Carolina and Acme did not disappoint! Everything was fresh and deliciously prepared—fish, shrimp or oysters—didn’t matter. All were delicious. Very casual decor and laid back atmosphere. Welcoming and attentive staff. Be sure to save room for dessert! We tried several with multiple spoons and the coconut cream pie was SO good I think I will start my meal with it the next time I am here to visit. Truly a great choice if you just want good food served by good people.

Dunleavy's Pub

Visited Dunleavy's Pub after being away from Charleston for 9 years. The place has not changed much (unlike the rest of the area) and still pours the best pint of Guinness in town. The only significant change I can see is that they now accept credit cards.

We frequent Poe’s regularly. Last visit we both had tacos. My husband had Mahi-mahi and I had Buffalo Shrimp and we both had onion straws on the side. Not only was it fresh and delightfully spiced, every bite had shrimp. I could barely hold them in the taco! This is a must visit on Sullivan’s Island.

Reviewed By travelagentwannbe

Ate here several years ago. It was just ok this time. We were seated right next to the kitchen on high bar stool type table. This allowed us a view of the kitchen where I witnessed a cook eating while working.The pulled pork was ok and the sauces were tasty. The mac-n-cheese was kind of dry. Also, the tomato and cuke salad was made with grape tomatoes. Maybe they ran out of fresh tomatoes? Not sure.Our waitress was nice and friendly and we were served fast so that is good. It wasn't crowded.Not sure if we will return the next time we are in the area.
