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.

    Dinner was fantastic, from a great fresh wedge salad with clearly house made dressing to a ribeye cooked perfectly. Lauren was just the best server ever. Cannot wait to come back!

    It was just ok. We haven’t been to this restaurant in forever. We do a family dinner every year at Christmas with our kids and honestly, Bricks and barrels is one of the only nicer place open on Sundays so we decided to try it. The food was just OK. The service was good and the restaurant is nice But I wasn’t impressed with the food for the price.

    My wife and I went to Bricks & Barrels for a nice dinner for our 10th wedding anniversary. The staff was very pleasant and attentive and the food was delicious. My wife ordered the Butter-Basted Salmon and I ordered the Surf & Turf. Everything that came with both meals was amazing. We reserved one of the barrels so we could enjoy our evening in peace with each other. We will definitely go back again.

    Despite it being a festival night nearby, service and food quite good. Booth best if you want some quieter setting for conversation. Menu has good variety beyond the standard entrees.

    We had a great server, food was amazing but the time was long waiting for it. We had reservations for 6:45 and we weren’t seated until 7:45 due to our table wasn’t ready.

    Our office went for our yearly Christmas Dinner. We sat in one of the barrel rooms and it was great! We got the Hummus and Caprese Flatbread appetizers and highly recommend both of them! The beet and goat cheese salad was one of the best salads we've ever had! We got the filets, salmon, sea bass and surf and turf, everyone loved them. The side hits were the parmesan risotto and brussel sprouts, they were amazing!! The service was wonderful as well. If you're coming to town make sure you come to this restaurant, you won't regret it. We will definitely be back.

    Each person in our party of 3 loved their food, and we all enjoyed the more quiet and laid back atmosphere. I would definitely go again. The only downside is insufficient parking.
