“ Food - This restaurant boasts having one of the best Mac and Cheese dishes in the continental US. This is backed by numerous awards, publications from multiple magazines and diner reviews. It did live up to the hype. It was creamy and flavorful without being to over the top or soupy. It was absolutely a win and somewhere we would bring others for a try. Surprising was the cost, for something with that many awards it was extremely reasonable. Aside from the Mac we ordered the stuffed mushrooms which had a good creative blend for the filling. We also recieved a complimentary bread basket with some amazing honey maple butter. Lastly were the drinks. The key lime mojito was well balanced and refreshing, but the star was the smokin peach was perfect. It was so good we had 2. If your in the part of Charleston it would be worth a visit. Service - We went Sunday night, quickly greated and say. Waitress was to the table quickly and provided some recommendations based on her own experience. See was not hovering over the table and was quick to get food to the table. Absolutely excellent service. Restaurant - Very clean and well put together. There is the option to dine inside and out. We sat indoors as it was a bit muggy. Bar was well kept, floors clean and the table was not sticky. Overall - Going to come back here again. Doesn't matter what main you get, order a bowl of Mac to share with everyone. Also, don't pass up the Smokin Peach. ”
“ My brother and I had a fantastic meal here! We bellied up to the bar and enjoyed the Steak Special and Duck. I wanted to order everything off their seasonal menu… Service was fantastic! Food was delicious! It’s a gem off hwy 11 and we will definitely be back! ”
“ Highly recommend eating here! My husband, grandmother and I came to eat here this past Saturday for brunch. There was plenty of street parking. The restaurant was well lit and it had plenty of tables for us to choose from. A waitress was great and welcoming. The food was delicious. I loved the chicken and biscuit dish. The biscuit was so soft on the inside and I love how they got it crispy on the outside. The omelette I had was perfect. I often have a problem, finishing such a large omelette, but this one was delicious and I was left wanting more afterwards. Definitely eat here! ”
“ Enjoyed dining here for Easter brunch, this was my first experience with Crave. A fun restaurant located in a pleasant section of The Shoppes At Seaside Farms, I enjoyed it very much. A quiet, relaxed, atmosphere, with great ambiance, delicious food, a fabulous menu and impeccable service. I had the eggs Benedict and my mother had the ham, Swiss and mushroom omelette. About $18 each, they were both delicious! She also enjoyed their mimosa. Piper, our server, was amazing, and really made our whole dining experience that much better. They also have very clean bathrooms. Patio seating available, though we sat inside. Their bar was very cool-looking. Can’t wait to go back and try their burger! ”
“ We stopped there for lunch. They claimed to have the most award-winning mac & cheese in America, so we ordered one with chicken and also got a She Crab Soup. The mac & cheese honestly tasted nothing special. The grilled chicken was way better than the mac & cheese. We were not too impressed with the crab soup either. ”
