"The patio at neighborhood spot Berkeley’s is the place to be for the lunch classics — a Caesar salad with a side of fries, a satisfying Rueben, or a turkey-bacon-Swiss on a squishy bun. There’s heartier fare, too, like a cheesesteak with whiz, a French dip with jus, or chicken Parmesan." - Erin Perkins
"If you shy away from the entrees, nothing is over $20 on the menu at neighborhood spot Berkeley’s. High-end sandwiches are the pull here — go for a giant chicken cutlet sandwich (Buffalo, classic, or Parmesan) for $16 and leave with leftovers." - Erin Perkins
"Berkeley’s is the Charleston version of your favorite casual neighborhood restaurant you go to for a really great lunch or dinner with friends. Located in a former service station in Hampton Park Terrace, they have an indoor/outdoor bar area with views of the kitchen (which is where you want to be), a large covered patio, and a small indoor dining space. Focus on the sandwiches, which make up most of their menu—the best one is their excellent cheesesteak with housemade cheese wiz, but anything with a chicken cutlet is usually a good call. And though you’re probably here for something on a crusty roll, any salad or entrees like cavatappi with wild mushrooms and the hanger steak are always a solid bet when you want to split a couple things." - jai jones, emily yates
"A neighborhood sandwich-focused hangout run by Marc and Liz Hudacsko that draws on flavors from their New Jersey upbringing. Casual and community-oriented, it emphasizes straightforward, comforting sandwiches and a friendly local vibe that serves as the couple’s original, approachable spot in the neighborhood." - Erin Perkins
"A neighborhood favorite on Rutledge Avenue counted among regular stops in Charleston for its dependable offerings." - Eater Staff
