• 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.

Had our mother there for her 84th. Great food and the service was excellent. While the restaurant was busy there was no wait on food. Had a special dessert, poached pear, that was really good. I’ve eaten there several times and will be back

We booked our dinner time at 4:15 on 2/13 to celebrate Valentine’s Day a day early. Our table was ready when we arrived and our server was right there waiting for us. His name is Joe and he is very friendly and helpful. Our food came quickly and we had a nice meal. Our food was good. We ordered the wild caught breaded cod dinner and we both felt that it he breading needed more seasoning. Other than that, the price was good, the service was great and we will return.
