• Steakhouse • Charleston

Booked 16 times today

Bricks & Barrels is a steak and seafood experience voted three consecutive years as Charleston's Favorite Restaurant in the annual People's Choice Awards. Known for its unique ambience that relaxes the mind and rejuvenates the spirit, Bricks & Barrels features four semi-private dining areas that give the sensation of dining inside a whiskey barrel. The restaurant’s interior features wooden whiskey barrels used as dining tables contrasted against the rustic brick façade. But the food & drinks are the highlight, with the Green Tomato Napoleon being a favorite appetizer. The Mediterranean Chicken was nominated for Charleston's best dish by The Food Guy, a local food critic: bone-in chicken breast braised in capers, figs and olives created a beautiful symphony of flavors (sweet, tart, salty, earthy) on a colorful, gorgeously presented plate." Charleston's Favorite Bartender Drew serves specialty cocktails, local craft beer and award-winning wines. Memories are made at Bricks & Barrels.

Both the food and service were great and appreciated by all in our party. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience, and I would absolutely recommend giving Red Lobster - Charleston (Cross Terrace Blvd.) a try, if you haven't already. Although the wait time varies and can get quite long at times, particularly on weekends, mid-afternoon seems an ideal time to avoid crowds. We arrived at 3 pm, hoping that there would be little wait time since it was in between the lunch and dinner rush, and were seated right away, so that worked out very well!
