The service was great and our server Erin was great! The food was lacking. Our grits were cold the second they hit the table, the eggs looked gross and tasted like they were powder. The coffee was less than desirable. We will be back for drinks but will definitely dine elsewhere.
Thank you for your review. I am glad that you enjoyed the service Erin provided, I will be sure you share with her and the team. Although, I am sad to hear we came up short with the food and coffee. We are currently working on updating our food offerings. I hope that you're able to come back and try our new menu, I am certain they will exceed your expectations.
In Charleston for a weekend trip with my husband. Found something that had reservations available and this place seemed to have a nice vibe to it without being too “sports bar”. The open garage doors didn’t make the inside too cold, the other guests were mindful of others, and the food portions were just enough for you to not be able to finish it all. Our server, Janine, was very eloquent with how she communicated with guests and seemed knowledgeable with food and beverage. The hosts/(managers?) were kind and visited our table throughout the meal to assist with food delivery as well as checking in on our experience. My husband got the fried chicken and he appreciated that it wasn’t too greasy, but it needed a side of their BBQ sauce to make it more enjoyable texture wise. I had the handcraft Mac n’ cheese and the kale salad with grilled shrimp and both complimented each other swimmingly. The Mac n’ cheese wasn’t too heavy like you see with most skillets. The salad was light and refreshing. We thoroughly enjoyed this spot and would recommend it to both locals and visitors.
Overall poor - it was quiet in restaurant ( 4 tables and 2 at bar ) and service was poor / timing was slow / food was not great and chicken under cooked ...
Was expecting more
I am sorry to hear you didn't receive a typical HandCraft dining experience. I hope you're able to give us another shot, as I am sure we can exceed your expectations in offerings as well as service. Thank you for your feed back,.
Great place with really wonderful people. Food was superb and the setting was perfect. Very convenient and enjoyable.
Hey Elizabeth, Thank you for the great review. We are so glad you had a great time with us. Be sure to stop by on Wednesdays, we offer $3 glasses of wine all night and live music on the patio from 5-8pm.
The Handcraft Kitchen and Cocktails is a great restaurant for couples and friends to dine at in Mount Pleasant. We chose to dine outdoors on the patio and that made for a pleasant dining experience. We had the most amazing waitress Janene, who was very knowledgeable about the menu items and provided exceptional customer service. We chose a variety of their cocktails from the cocktail menu. The drinks were awesomely crafted and were worth their money. We ordered the Mac and cheese appetizer and it was amazing. This is a large dish and 2-3 people could possibly share this dish. It was served in a skillet, piping hot with several cheeses melted all through the macaroni pasta. The dish was topped with bread crumbs and had pancetta with peas scattered throughout the dish. The beet salad is also a great starter with the vinaigrette dressing evenly covering all of the contents of the salad. I highly recommend any patron looking for an eclectic cocktail menu with exceptional service to go dine at the Handcraft Kitchen and Cocktails.
Had a great experience. Family dining experience. Food was a little slow but worth the wait. Of you can carry a good conversation then the staff and atmosphere is worth it all.
Blood Orange Mimosas and Bloody Marys were great. My pup thoroughly enjoyed his hamburger bowl. Service was excellent and the food was wonderful.
Not the best menu. Drinks were pretty good
We're glad you enjoyed the drinks. We are in the process on enhancing our food menu and hope you're able to come back in and give us another shot. Please let me know if you have any other feedback on how we could improve your dining experience?
Four for lunch. Nothing that I tasted had any flavor. I had to add salt (which I never do) to the butternut squash soup and to the Mac and cheese. Service was slow, and I didn’t get the coffee I ordered.
Evan was very attentive and anxious to be sure that all our requests were met. The old fashioned drinks were wonderful with the large ice cubes which we enjoy and the delicious cherries! The cast iron shrimp was also delicious as always! Thank you for a lovely evening!
Hey Kimberlee-Thank you for the great review! We look forward to serving you again.
Wow. Terrible. Steak not seasoned. 40 minutes for a cocktail. Less than 1/2 full, steak had grill crunchy residue and was well done. Chick pea patty was a hockey puck. Management and staff nice enough. Really poor kitchen and execution.
Good evening. Thank you for your feedback, I waned to once again apologize for your recent experience. I hope you're able to give us another try. I 'm sure your next experience will be more than note worthy.
Loved the cocktails and the menu very simple but well done. I’ll definitely be back.
Thank you for the great review. We will be doing a tiki takeover starting in the month of May. Be sure to stop back in and check it out.
Menu was really limited and expensive for what it was. I think we could have gone to a Ruby Tuesdays spent half and got the same thing. I would not choose this place again for a meal. This a start your night with a good drink then move on to the cheap fun place. The bright side of the meal was that our waitress was awesome.
Thank you for your review Katherine. I am glad that you enjoyed our cocktails as well as our service. We are constantly updating our food menu and hope you will give us another chance in the future. Be sure to stop by on Wednesdays where we offer $3 house wines and live music from 5-8pm.
Nice variety of cocktails with wait staff well educated on drinks , kitchen a bit slow
Thank you for you review. We are always striving to improve and will use your feedback to focus on areas of concern. We hope to serve you again soon. Be sure to try our daily happy hour from 4-6pm.
Disappointed that our old fashioned drinks lacked the traditional large ice cubes and cherries to which we are accustomed which has been their custom. Maybe next time.
Hey Kimberlee, Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry to hear your drink was not as expected. I will look into this and see why your drink was not served as it normally is. We hope to serve you again in the future.
Was in the mood for a burger and beer. Ordered the crab dip and the smash burger. Excellent! The restaurant inside looks great and the bar has everything you could want to drink. Will be back
Hi Stephen, Thank you for the great review. We are glad you had a great experience and we look forward to serving you again.
We went for brunch for our first time. Food as good and service was great. I wish they had a few more brunch selections but I think we will try them for dinner next time!
Hi Anne, Thank you for the great review. We are always trying new things at HandCraft. Be sure to check out our daily happy hour form 4-6pm daily or our wine Wednesday, featuring $3 glasses of house wine and live music on the patio form 5-8pm.
Everything is great! Food, drinks, music- great find!
Thank for the great review. We are hosting live music Every Wed. in March from 5-8pm, with $3 glasses of wine. Be sure to stop back in.
My husband and I had a very nice lunch on the patio. The kale salad was amazing!!!!
Thank you for the great review. We have happy hour daily from 4pm-6pm, we hope you have a chance to stop back and check it out.
I really like the place, but it is more of a Happy Hour vibe and less about the food selection. I did not realize this when I made the reservation. The food we ordered was good, the choices are very limited. The servers were all great. The drink selection and specials are extensive.
Thank you for the great review Judy. We are always expanding our menu offerings, including our food menu. We hope to serve you again soon,
Out with a party of 5. Everything was fine, didn't love anything. Special was delicious but nothing special or out of the ordinary about it... steak and shrimp.
Thank you for the review, we are always looking to improve and hope we get a chance to serve you again. We always focus on using regional sourced, high quality seasonal ingredients.
Great food and amazing service! We were sitting at the bar. The bar keeper did a great job and the cocktail were delicious!
Thanks you for the great review, I will be sure to share with the team. We hope to serve you again soon.
I sat at the outside bar this past Sunday and the waitress was wonderful! She had great suggestions for drinks, brought over a mug of hot water to help keep my hands warm (it was rainy and cold), really friendly. Will definitely be back!
Hi Jen, Thank you for the great review. We do our best to make our guests comfortable. We look forward to serving you again and look forward to the warm Spring weather right around the corner.
The service staff was amazing, the food and cocktails were amazing also! Loved the Bloody Marys! We absolutely loved the atmosphere. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for making our family Valentine’s Day special.
Thanks for the great review and the shout out on our house infused Bloody Mary's. And thank you for spending your holiday at HandCraft.
Poor menu selection and service. Brunch time should be clearer (that it ends at 4pm). Chicken tenders vs added chicken on the biscuits, VERY different. And the chicken for the biscuits came out burnt. If you are going to be out of 2 items on your limited brunch menu, consider adding something from your regular menu. Waitress apologized but "didn't realize" we were her table. Our food came out after another table that was seated and ordered after us. We asked for gravy on the side, and biscuits came drowning in it (it was not good, and waitress again admitted fault). Salad was drenched in dressing. Pears in the fruit were clearly over ripe and old. Overall not a good experience.
Thank you for your feedback. I apologize that you didn't have our traditional Handcrafted experience. My Email is daniel@handcraftmtp, I would love to learn more about your experience, I hope to hear from you soon.
The ambiance and the drinks were amazing. The wait staff was very accommodating.
Thank you for the great review!
The service was pretty slow overall. It took a while to get our drinks. When our food finally arrived not all of it was there. We had to ask for the missing items. When we finally got them they were not even that hot.
I wouldn't go back.
Hi Brooke, I'm sorry you encountered slow service during your visit in addition to an inaccurate order. This is not typical of HandCraft. We are always improving and focus on providing an elevated service experience, I hope your able to give us another try in the future.
Went for the advertised speakeasy during February 2021. Perhaps our expectations were too high but we were all very underwhelmed. The signature cocktails were cute but pretty over priced. Food was very very rich.
Hi Sarah thank you for your review. I would like to learn more about your experience as we always strive to meet expectations. I can be reached at daniel@handcraftmtp , I hope to hear from you soon.
Came here for lunch with a friend. Our food was passable. With only 4 tables full, the kitchen made us wait a half hour for our food. Our server was excellent. This appears to be more of a night spot (read bar) than a lunch restaurant. May try again later for drinks, but not for the food, at least not for lunch.
Thank you for your feedback, I will be looking into this. We do cook everything to order, although, a 30 minute wait is unacceptable. I am glad you enjoyed the service, I am sure if you come back in for cocktails you will have a much better experience.
Terrible attitudes. Every employee we encountered was rude and condescending. Our waiter was the nicest of them all except he did not check on us but once. Planned on ordering dinner but left after a drink.
I am so sorry to hear this. This is not a typical experience at Handcraft. I would love to learn more about your visit. Please contact me at daniel@handcraftmtp
Loved the food on my first visit, but the food on the second visit was just okay. The service is excellent.
Thanks for the great review. Please let me know if you have any feedback on the food. I can be reached at danile@handcraftmtp Stop back in and check out Speakeasy theme for the month of February.
Loved!! Excellent drinks, excellent food quality and service. Try the Kentucky mule and the bone marrow. You won’t regret going here.
Thanks for the great review. We hope to see you again soon.
Food was amazing. Great customer service. And overall enjoyable experience.
Thanks for the great review Gina! Stop back in and check out our Speakeasy theme that we are hosting for the month of February.
Wonderful service with a great cocktail list. We had a great time and left feeling happy and satisfied. Give them a try.
Thank you for the great review. We hope to serve you again soon.
We were first time diners at Handcraft Kitchen and we did the Restaurant Week menu (2021). The service and food were both excellent!! Nice decor and I thought they did a nice job with social distancing indoors (too cold outside for outdoor service, but looked like a nice patio for when the weather is good). We will return! :)
My husband and I visited to experience Miracle Pop Up Holiday event. Our server was wonderful! She was friendly and attentive. We started with the crab and kale dip which was a delicious, large portion. Our server offered to get us more pita to finish our dip. For entrees my husband had the baked chicken and I had the smash burger with fries. My husband enjoyed his entree very much and I enjoyed mine as well. I had the Jingle Ball Nog cocktail to finish and it was delicious! Great experience. Would definitely recommend and return.
Hi Melanie, Thanks for the great review. I am glad you were able to join us for our Miracle event. Be sure to stop back after the new year and check out some of our new specials and great cocktails. Hope you have a safe and happy 2021.
Didn’t order food but not an option to put n/a. My girlfriend and I went for the Christmas Pop-up bar on Saturday night at 7:45p. The establishment required masks to be worn upon entering and until you got to your seat. Since there were only two of us we were seated at a two top that was in the middle of the restaurant...normally not a problem. However, in light of the recent uptick in the COVID-19 spread, we were practically on top of other guests that didn’t seem to be concerned about how tightly packed in everyone was. Everyone had their masks off as allowed at their tables but we weren’t really sure what the purpose of wearing a mask was in such a tightly packed establishment. We were amazed that this establishment made no effort to practice social distancing between the tables, unlike other restaurants in the Lowcountry. While the servers did wear masks, they didn’t wear any gloves when tables were being bussed...I literally watched a waitress bus a table of 8 touching the forks that people had eaten off of with her bare hands. It is apparent that the staff either never received proper training from management on cleaning and hygiene techniques during a pandemic. Pretty sure DHEC would’ve shut them down on the spot for having the restaurant at full capacity and virtually no preventive measures followed. We honestly would’ve just left and probably should’ve but I didn’t want my credit card to be charged a $25 fee. Our waiter was very professional. We didn’t order food. We quickly consumed our over priced cocktail in an uncomfortable setting and regret that we even attempted to patronize this establishment. As far as the Christmas Pop-up Bar, it was really disappointing as I just felt like I was in an airport bar with Christmas lights...I know the restaurant industry has been hit hard and I am a supporter of local businesses but again, not sure how or why this establishment doesn’t fall the appropriate guidelines put in place with limiting guests inside.
Thank you for your feedback, I would like to learn more about your experience. You can reach me at daniel@handcraftmtp . I look forward to hearing from you.
We went for the Christmas pop up and it was absolutely fantastic. He atmosphere, food,drinks, and service were absolutely phenomenal! I will absolutely go back to the pop up once it’s over
Thanks for the great review.
This was our first time here, we had two out of town guests and were excited about the holiday decorations and drink I read about. What appalled us was that this restaurant didn’t observe social distancing! We felt very uncomfortable with tables so close together, very disappointed. Food was not that great, sorry to say. Decorations and server were excellent though, not sure if we will return though :(
Hi Ester, Thank you for your feedback. Due to the popularity of the Miracle event, we are sold out each night and every table is booked back to back. I recommend coming back when the event is over for a more traditional and dining experience with more social distancing and flexibility in seating. I would love to learn more about your food and experience. My email is daniel@handcraftmtp , I hope to hear from you soon.
Way way way too crowded. Zero covid safety measures. Tables packed in way too close together.
