Re: “Bon Banh Mi”
I've been to Bon Banh Mi three times so far. Consistently tasty every time. I prefer the tacos over the sandwich
Re: “Tommy Condon's Irish Pub & Seafood Restaurant”
Apparently the food is only good on weekends. We went last Monday and I had to send my steak back because it was nothing but fat. My husband's shrimp and grits were gritty. There was trash and flies in the windowsill while the waitstaff stood around and talked. Not to mention the table was sticky. Very dissatisfied.
Re: “Fulton Five”
Fulton Five is my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff is wonderful and the dining area is lovely.
Re: “Bon Banh Mi”
Got a bag of sandwiches to go and they were amazingly good. Great spot, cool people.
Re: “Cypress Lowcountry Grille”
I went to Cypress for the first time last night for Restaurant Week. It cost $90 with tip for two restaurant week dinners and a martini - the martini (Lavender) was the only thing worth paying for.
Started with Lobster Bisque - it was okay. I had the Koren Beef BBQ for dinner and the first four or five bites tasted like nothing but char and ash from the grill. The rice and veggies were lackluster and overall I decided I'd rather save the calories for dessert. Bad idea. The Pecan Pie was horrible. One of the worst desserts I've ever had during restaurant week. It was small and round and I had to hold on to it with my hand in order to cut the crust. The middle was dry and it was just...definitely not good.
As someone who looks forward to restaurant week each September/January and really enjoys trying new places I can't normally afford, I was very dissappointed to have wasted my money here. If I ever go again, it will be to get a Lavender Martini from the bar upstairs - I'll eat dinner somewhere else.
Re: “Cha Cha's Tequila Bar”
I'm giving it three stars only because I know it can be more consistent. I know they had a rough start and I was hearing some really bad things about the food, but the last three times I've been in it's been really spot on good.
I think they had some serious kinks to work out, but as far as somewhere new, affordable and good to go on James Island, I've been loving it at Cha Cha's.
I mean: Pork Belly taco with roasted bananas and crunchy peanut butter!!
I like non traditional approaches to food and they are making some really interesting and good combinations.
Re: “Normandy Farm Artisan Bakery”
Normandy Farm Bakery is amazing! Always enjoy their breads, coffee, biscuits and desserts.
Re: “Butcher & Bee”
Just had the Fried Chicken Banh Mi Sandwich for lunch. It was the BEST THING I've eaten this year. $10 for the sandwich + $1 for tax and a cup of water. Pricey, but well worth a visit at least once a month. I didn't like the hummus appetizer.
Re: “Sandbar Seafood and Steak Restaurant”
Awesome food - great prices - best seafood and breakfast around!
Re: “39 Rue De Jean”
My wife and I went in for a late supper Saturday night close to ten o'clock, pre-Built to Spill at the Farm, after the Grocery messed up our reservations. We had the foie, the beef tartar, the sweetbreads and the charcuterie. Everything was delicious. Nice to see an old school place still doing well.
Re: “Pizza Roma Diner”
Okay, so I don't know pizza like a lot of people on here. I've prob never really turned down any style or make of pizza when offered. but....dang.
This Place is awesome. Give it a try!
So far I've tried a lot of menu items before i thought to write review and not a bad word to say in the bunch.
I think the super philly is right up with the best you can get around town. I'm a big fan of the competitor in summerville..but that is a bit far of a drive for me on a regular basis.
This is a lot closer to almost anywhere in town and yummy.
Oh and definitely try a slice of the Coconut Cake if at all possible!
Re: “Mama Kim's”
LOVE Mama Kim's! The food is so fresh and delicious, they treat us like family when we walk through the door. Best Korean food we have had by far...anywhere! Hmmm, now I'm craving some Mama Kim's!!!
Re: “Village Bakery”
I live in the neighborhood .. Staff service is uneven & at times the Mgr is haughty as if she is doing you a favor by serving you .. Don't go here at busy time .. Food is fresh & tasty but expensive ..
Re: “Bon Banh Mi”
I found it delicious, but the portions are on the small side. The sandwich was a hot dog size for $8.50, with no side. They just need to tweak it, and it could be an institution.
Re: “Baguette Magic”
Was introduced to this place a couple of weeks ago by a friend. Didn't even know it was there. I bought a chocolate croissant that was to die for. Had to get the apricot for later. Wonderful! The baguette we took home for dinner was the best I've had in a very long time. My French mother, bless her soul, would have loved this place. Also, the customer service is lovely and refreshing.
Re: “Bon Banh Mi”

Re: “Sticky Fingers”
Great place to eat and great service !! Thanks for your southern hospitality Ashley.
Re: “Zia Taqueria”
Baja fish tacos, $2.50 on a Monday night. Friendly and attentive service. It's like a fast food place where you order and pay at the counter, except the food is so *so* much better! If you don't like fresh ingredients (like cilantro) go to Taco Bell.
Re: “Montreux Bar and Grill”
I visited Summerville the third week of Aug and went to montreux and have been there visits before my husband and I enjoyed it every time the food was great the servers were nice and we just loved the place we are from Mass and just dont have places like this we cant wait to return this place is one of the places we tell all our friends about

Re: “Tommy Condon's Irish Pub & Seafood Restaurant”
I've been to Condon's on a number of occasions, and find the food adequate, but certainly not Irish. The best thing about the place is the draft beer selection. Although expensive, it allows one an opportunity to sample beers from all over the world. The music at night is entertaining and peppy, but Condon's is definitely set up for the occasional tourist visit. It appears to be doing well in that regard.
