Handcraft Kitchen and Cocktails Mount Pleasant

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.

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

Great place with really wonderful people. Food was superb and the setting was perfect. Very convenient and enjoyable.

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

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!

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.

Loved the cocktails and the menu very simple but well done. I’ll definitely be back.

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.

Nice variety of cocktails with wait staff well educated on drinks , kitchen a bit slow

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.

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

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!

Everything is great! Food, drinks, music- great find!

My husband and I had a very nice lunch on the patio. The kale salad was amazing!!!!

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.

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.

Great food and amazing service! We were sitting at the bar. The bar keeper did a great job and the cocktail were delicious!

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!

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.

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.

The ambiance and the drinks were amazing. The wait staff was very accommodating.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Loved the food on my first visit, but the food on the second visit was just okay. The service is excellent.

Loved!! Excellent drinks, excellent food quality and service. Try the Kentucky mule and the bone marrow. You won’t regret going here.

Food was amazing. Great customer service. And overall enjoyable experience.

Wonderful service with a great cocktail list. We had a great time and left feeling happy and satisfied. Give them a try.

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.

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.

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

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 :(

Way way way too crowded. Zero covid safety measures. Tables packed in way too close together.
