Great place for a quick breakfast! Crepes were fresh and delicious! Gluten free (Yay) buckwheat! Super friendly staff and clean.

If you are gluten free and vegan (or one or the other) this place is phenomenal. I got the chicken and waffles and the flavors were spot on! Their pimento is delicious here too. The servings are quite large, so you will definitely have leftovers if you don't spilt your meal.

My Husband is Gluten Free and this came up on the internet. Was perfect opens at 5.00pm and after walking miles around this glorious town we were ready for an early supper. Welcome excellent, lovely table in the window. Small menu but well thought out. We both had the Salmon bowl. Oh my the tastes exploded on your tongue. Waitress excellent. This restaurant is excellent.

An all around spectacular meal. First the service was first class from the greeting and seating to the table service. Every single dish was fantastic but the Beef Carpaccio and BBQ Tuna really stood out. Great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful visit, can't wait to return.

I love that the flavors continually change, that it's locally made, and they have so many gluten-free and dairy-free options! I have not found any dairy-free ice cream at a parlor that is better than this!

Out late on a late night date w the hubs in his hometown and looking to NOSH!! This place was recommended by our rickshaw driver strolling down King street. This place is SUPER CUTE!! We actually had passed by it and didn’t even notice!! 😵‍💫 Accross from the Apple Store; with kitschy-modern vibes we loved it as soon as we walked in! 90s tunes wash over us as we enter and we are taken back to simpler days; when we were young and without the cares of kids and adulting. Our server Katie greets us as we sit down at our cozy little booth - she is Super Cute and upbeat! We love her energy! And she knows her Sh*%#! She thoroughly explains how things work in her world, and we know exactly what to expect and respect how much she loves what she does! She educates us on the freshness of the E back bar ingredients? As well as that we should expect the highest of quality Ingredients in the tacos and such as well! We also love that these tacos are served street tacos style and explains that each will be 2-3 bites. This is very helpful in Gauging how many we should order! We decide to get a little of everything! The cucumber salad and sliced cucumbers came first. Then came the Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl - The Baja fish tacos - in CA they are usually grilled. But here they are fried. I was skeptical but when I added the jalapeño sauce and took a bite MAN!! So lite and flaky!! Fish was tender and the batter was melt in your mouth! Not at All great! And not breast either! Katie explained later that it is a tempera rice batter and that it’s gluten free. Super lite and DELISH!! The addition of the slaw gives it just the right vinegar mayo kick as well YUM 🤤 The mushroom taco is very light and mild. Bits of mushroom; they tasted like shiitake or even just an umami mix including some king mushrooms even had a very mild and meaty texture and mild flavor. I added the rojo sauce for a bit of a kick. The given tortilla adding the perfect nuttiness. The crispy shrimp taco uses the same lite tempura batter. This batter has a little kick to it. Not sure if they add something else to the batter to make it slightly different than the fish but it’s slightly spicier. Which I Loved. We eat a lot of spicy foods and I loved this one. I ate this with the cucumber salad as well for more of a crunch factor. The pork belly taco had a bit of a crunchy pork skin bite to it, and the porky goodness that you can ONLY get from pork belly!!! This one was next level taco yumminess!!! We ate this one with the Happy Habanero sauce and let me tell you - NO. This one you hafta taste for yourself to believe!!! PORK BELLY. NEED I SAY MORE??? Now we had also ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna Taco but we had forgotten about it and the kitchen had also forgotten about it , so by the time they brought it out we were so stuffed we didn’t get to try it before my review. I’ll try to update this tho once I try it! It looked awesome, and I will include the picture! The only thing the hubs wasn’t too impressed with was the bulgogi bowl. The bees was sliced too thinly he said and was a bit dry. He expected more juiciness. Especially for bulgogi and I hafta agree on that - having had a LOT of bulgogi in my lifetime lol. I LOVED the kimchi and spinach in the bowl tho and helped him to polish those off. 😝 Oh!!! We also tried some agua fresca - the Berry Colada which was FANTASMIC I cannot say this enough. This drink tasted of fresh coconut water, blueberries and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Not sure if that’s the mix but that’s what it tasted like to me. It was so refreshing and didn’t make me feel light headed like fruit juice normally does. The hubs has a Tito’s n Grapefruit juice which he absolutely LOVED. We were really impressed with Bartaco! Late night nosh as its finest! And Thanks again Ms Katie!

We were on a mission to try She Crab soup while visiting the Charleston area and found Halls! I am gluten free and we struggled to find any restaurants that had authentic GF She Crab soup. We ate at the bar as we were not up for a full meal. Our service was very attentive, the environment was great and the soup and drinks were top notch. If you are looking for high quality food and service and have any dietary restrictions I definitely recommend visiting Halls!

Shawnette Graham

Great food. Beautiful spot. I just wish Charleston would catch on to more gluten friendly options

Second night in Charleston celebrating our tenth anniversary. Hanks definitely met the high expectations we had of good seafood in Charleston! I ordered the flounder and the flavor was out of this world! My husband ordered the oysters casino as an appetizer which were a “ decadent delight” as he described them. For his entree he ordered the grouper which was a tender but meaty and delicious entree! Our server, Drew, was very attentive and pleasant. There was a separate gluten free menu with many options. Both of our main entrees were GF.

Tell me why they packaged the gluten free and vegan cookies together? They wouldnt send replacements and wanted to give me a refund of not even half. Id tell you how they are but my family members would literally be in the hospital if they ate them. Also, did I mention this was a birthday gift!?

Elliott Roberts

GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES!!! They are delicious, light and fluffy. We had the banana peanut butter and prosciutto which was great to swap with my wife, sweet and savory. We will be back for sure!!

Rebecca Campbell

The staff is super helpful and the food delicious. They have gluten fee options.

Tori Holton

I came in the other day and was greeted by Morgan. She was lovely and helped me navigate the menu. And omg the drunken shakes!! Frozen lemonade & the resurrection will now be my go to! My only hope is that one day they'll offer something gluten free becausethose cakes do look amazing!

Natalie Ireland

We came with a large party and our server was great! Quick, attentive, knowledgeable about what was celiac safe on the menu which is a huge plus for me! Everything we had was so good, food and drinks! Would love to check out their patio next time.

Rachel Odum

Atmosphere is charming and intimate. There was a had written card reserving the table. Jon, the server was amazing and accommodating with my gluten sensitivity. I recommend the Paris Market plate and strawberry lemonade tea. I hope to have a chance to go back for a high tea experience.

Tom Golinski

Great breakfast and appreciate the gluten free options.

Alison Jackson

We found this place based on Google reviews, and we are so glad we did! It's a terrific dessert café. I'm gluten-free, and it was such a joy to find somewhere with delicious after-dinner options. My non gf husband had the bourbon pecan pie and said it's fabulous.
