halls chophouse

textbook steak, great sides. owner or owning family will remember your name or at least your face. go here.

like you're home. ...with far better food. fantastic service from a personable and interested bartender, some killer food, and the best bloody mary i've ever had. no-brainder.

i've eaten at many places in charleston and this place by far is the best place i've eaten at. i've never been to a place that had such polite wait staff and the owner treated us like he knew us and we were his only customer. what an awesome experience.

simply the best. hall's is my favorite restaurant in the entire country. i live in california and make sure when i am ever in the area to go there. they food is incredible but the hospitality is even better. they always make you feel welcome and the servers are amazing. i recommend the seafood app and filet or new york. we also tried brunch for the first time which blew our minds it was simply delicious. hall's is must try, you will thank yourself. pepper jack cheese grits are out of this world!!!

stellar, awesome, fabulous! staff and service were impeccable. food was.a culinary delight from start to finish. best resturant i have ever been to.

beyond superb. as an anniversary gift, our daughter and son-in-law arranged for us to have dinner at hall's chop house on saturday, oct 19th. the ambiance of the evening began with a gracious greeting at the door by one of the owners. the service was impeccable, the atmosphere romantic, and the food beyond superb. we like our steak well done, a curse to most chefs. our meat was not at all pink and still succulent. it is very unusual to find a restaurant can deliver a large piece of beef well cook to perfection. the lobster mac and cheese was luscious. the presentation of the head lettuce salad looked as good as it tasted. the personal touch of the greeting by the owner, the impeccable service, and the delicious food is a winning combination. it seems like everyone that works there love their job and their contentment is apparent. we can certainly recommend this restaurant without any hesitation.

one of the best steaks i have had! friendly people. really enjoyed charleston!

halls is a great option if you’re in charleston and looking for a good steak, but they also do some classic southern dishes quite well – so make sure you look through the whole menu, and don’t skip straight to the steak page!

hall's flophouse. okay, i've read the reviews for this restaurant - and i know my review will not be well received.
here for restaurant week, 3 for $40. i had:
she crab soup
8 oz filet cooked medium rare
and chocolate ice cream
the soup was too salty, the filet was cooked perfectly and very soft/buttery, and the chocolate ice cream was meh. patrons have to pay for extra sides, we decided on whipped potatoes. sauces like bernaise sauce or steak sauce is an extra $3/person. so, the restaurant charges you extra bucks for things that normally should simply come with a meal. the whipped potatoes were soupy and sweet. i would have preferred potatoes that don't drip thru my fork and add salt for flavoring. the chocolate ice cream was melted. in addition, do you know what happens to a container of ice cream in the freezer when it goes untouched for a month? it develops a layer of goo on top. happens to everyone. except in a restaurant - one would expect them to scrape off that old layer off before serving.

finally, the biggest problem i have (which i'm sure that many will disagree with) is that i don't want to be asked over and over again how my meal tastes. the question was asked 16 times from beginning to end (twice going out the door by two different people). we were also asked if we wanted pepper on our food (when the pepper and salt shakers are already on the table vs. a server walking around with a pepper mill) - and they brought out the check before dessert was finished by all. in addition, the server asked us to cut our filet in the middle to check to see if it was cooked as requested; except, i want to cut it and eat it the way i want, not the way the server wants. if there's a problem, i would inform the server as much.

anyway, the "service" was waaay over the top and unnecessary. i just wanted to enjoy good food w/ attention at the right time (i.e., topping off water, asking for another drink or refill when almost empty, asking once or twice how everything tastes - but around halfway thru the entree....)

some will rave about the atmosphere and will like the attention. it was simply not my cup of tea.

best meal, best service. i have never come on to write a review for any restaurant before but this place certainly earned a review. by far the best meal and the best service my husband and i have ever had in our lives. the entire staff is so friendly and the owner is really involved coming around and making sure your experience is everything you could hope for. not only is the service absolutely impeccable, but the food is to die for. my husband had the tomahawk steak and i had the bison special, both pieces were melt in your mouth tender and delicious. i highly recommend this place to anyone it is worth every single last penny and more!

most amazing meal ever. the service decor and food was the best! the owners are very hands on. the chef even stopped by to make suggestions. the pepper jack creamed corn is unbelievable!!! the steak my husband said was best ever and we travel and eat out a lot!!
don't leave charleston without eating here!!!!

this place was incredible. the food, the atmosphere, the music, and best of all...shiela! such a great night, as my wife and i are celebrating our anniversary...couldn't have picked a better place or hostess/waitress.

thanks so much"

wonderful.. i love a place where the owner is greeting you, shaking your hand, and genuinely appreciative of your patronage.

i took my husband to brunch for his birthday. they treated him like a king. even brought us a complimentary piece of million dollar cake. :)

i've also been there for dinner (even though i'm a vegetarian) and there is plenty on the menu and they are more than happy to accomodate.

the wait staff is friendly, smart, and knowledgable.

always a pleasure to visit halls!

very awesome place! took my daughter there for making all a's. met the owner billy who came over to the table several times. he made sure everything was perfect. staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. well worth the money! will return soon.

most annoying place ever. even if the food was amazing i can't even walk in because the owners hunt you down and are always over the top.
