Amazing gluten free buns, burgers and chicken straps all delicious. Whole family loved! Highly recommend.

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!

Thomas Frankenberry

We love our Mellow Mushroom, this was our first time at this location. I had the custom burger with bacon mushrooms and onion. It is a double patty smash burger style. Slamming good. Service was good the waitress was training and serving several other tables we went during the lunch rush. My wife had the steak and cheese calzone. Good could use a little more cheese. My sone had the gluten free pizza he has severe food allergies and this is the only place he can eat pizza other than if we make at home.

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.

Avery Hatch

The perfect spot for a more casual but still delicious dinner in downtown. Lots of well marked gluten free options, and some creative/fun options for folks who might not want seafood. Our server was attentive, friendly, and quick. We were seated immediately on a Monday evening despite the no-reservation policy. Would definitely return!

I got the smokehouse salad with smoked turkey which was juicy and flavorful. My party also got a serving of smoked turkey with sides that were substantial, the smoked turkey sandwich was absolutely phenomenal with the pimento cheese and beautifully toasted bun, the pulled pork tacos which were displayed well and were stuffed substantially. We also tried to zero proof mocktails. Highly recommend the sweet sereni-tea and the "nojito". Fresh and beautiful presentation. Our server Meghan was attentive and pleasant the entire meal. They were also accommodating and attentive towards my dietary restriction of gluten. 10/10

We did 2 gluten free and 1 regular biscuit. These were the BEST Gluten Free biscuits we've ever had! The regular biscuit was absolutely amazing also. We got lucky and did not have to wait so long in the line but noticed many were coming back letting the staff know that their order was wrong. We made sure we checked ours before we left and it was also wrong. They threw away our GF ones and remade them. After trying how good the biscuit was, I went back to get another GF one but was told there were no more GF left. I was upset since I am not local and really wanted another one, if they would have gotten the orders right the first time, there would have been 2 more GF biscuits and many others they threw out before ours. I decided to buy the GF mix to bring back home.

Everything was incredible!!! Our server Daniel explained everything in detail, our food came out quickly, and when one of the dishes wasn’t perfect, the owner Eli made sure it was 100%!!! We loved our time here and we WILL be back!! And bonus; there’s wonderful GLUTEN FREE options!

HELGA M. PALLARES

Great variety of dining options. And they advised me and prepared a special gluten-free menu. I enjoyed it very much.

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.

Sofia Srodek

Great eclectic place located in a quiet residential area. Excellent service and the best gluten free pizza around!

We enjoyed our meals but think the fish was slightly overcooked. Our appetizer of crab dip with gluten free crackers was our favorite part. We had to wait about 45 minutes at the bar on a Tuesday night. It’s a very popular place and would love to try some of their other dishes. They have a separate gluten free menu and are I felt it was very celiac safe. They made my husband’s dish celiac safe too so that he could share with me. I greatly appreciate the attention to diet restrictions.

Courtney Watts

Best food, atmosphere, and service. Seperate fryer for tortilla chips, which means nachos for someone like me that has celiac disease. They are very accommodating and have lots of allergy friendly foods. I can't say enough great things about this Taco Boy. Just bring your sweater if sitting inside.

Sam Lau

Nathaniel Reed

A delicious dinner! Sean C. Was such a good server. He was very thoughtful regarding a gluten allergy at our table and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Will definitely come back!

Jewel Mims

Everything was very good . Do need more gluten free

Deborah Kelly

Maggie Gehrlein

Wonderful dinner experience with delicious food. They had sliced cucumber to have with the saganaki and the gluten free shrimp santorini was so warm and tasty.

Brie Ochoa

If you’re gluten free and want (or miss out on) fine dining, you have to go here(!!!). Most menu items were or could be made gluten free. Our server was so knowledgeable about gluten free food and cross contact that I could cry. The menu was also labeled, and our server was aware of the GF designation we had put on our reservation. Food, drinks, dessert, live music, and service were all amazing - can’t wait to come back. 15/10. (Full review on Find Me Gluten Free - this is how we ended up making a reservation here!)

Sorry their whole menu changed and I’m not going back with my Celiac kids. Fries are not safe, mashed potatoes are not safe, no filet mignon-only a NY strip. We always spend over 300$ expecting great food and GF options, but they don’t even have a GF dessert. My heart is broken after looking forward to a great meal and being disappointed with all the new changes. The crab leg pots are still GF if you are looking for that.

The mushroom omelette was fantastic! The eggs were fluffy and the mushrooms were seasoned really well. They allowed me to adjust the sides to accommodate my nightshade and gluten allergies to get salad and fruit instead. Coffee was good too! This is a really cool location worth checking out because of the church location and the art inside. And it looked like they can accommodate large groups too.

I asked the wait staff what accommodations they could make for gluten free. The wait staff said they could do tortilla chips. The fish tacos came with flour toritillas. The wait staff, even after asking me if it was a gluten sensitivity or allergy when ordering, seemed to shame me for questioning the flour tortilla. The manager came and his attitude was again blaming, like it was my fault. He said “but we only have flour tortillas”. I emptied one of the fish tacos and the fish was dry and even hard in sections. The crab dip did not live up to its reputation. Dark brown and dry.

Amber Easterling

No dedicated fryer, so no chips if you have celiac. Some sauces contain gluten. Be careful if you eat here. I did get enchiladas (corn tortillas) with verde sauce. They assured me that their rice was safe. I’m not sure I’d go back. I’d rather go to a restaurant that offers more GF options and seems a little more knowledgeable.

Garett Lubecki

Great food and service. I have also ordered take out and had a great experience. If you need gluten free for celiacs the burger is a great option with their gluten free bun. Overall amazing place and good food.

This place was great, a bit cheaper than a lot of other places in the area. The menu has plenty of gluten free options. Our server was knowledgeable re. celiac and was friendly and quick. There were folks watching a game so it was a little rowdy but we didn't mind.

Sean Doherty

We had a great time! Meat was super tender, fall off the bone. Also our son is gluten and dairy free and they were very accommodating.
