Breck's Steakhouse

Breck's has been around for a long time and tells you they have found their niche. It is a hole in the wall. Atmosphere is zero. The room we were in was pained battleship grey along with the tables. Menu is a couple of pieces of paper stapled together that have seen better days. The prices are cheap and the food is good. My steak was overcooked but we were a large party and I know that's hard to manage. It was a slow weeknight. But the steak was still good, not tough or gristly. Which I have gotten at other places around town while paying for an expensive cut. It is out of the way for us not not a usual stop. I bet a busy night is a fun time to people watch. I'd certainly go again because it does what it does and I am just trying to be honest so some Instagramer is not surprised if they go. The server was great and patient with my disorganized guests.

This is a great locally owned spot that does a great job in the kitchen and in service. This is definitely one of those businesses that when people say support your local businesses, this is a great example of those who you should support. If you feel like a great steak, from one of those mainstream, bug chain restaurants, come here instead. The prices are better, the food is better, and you wont be treated like a turn and burn type of customer. You will get a lot better attention, and a more personable service. The atmosphere is also a lot quieter and you can hear yourself talk, instead of 200 people all yelling to talk to each other, 1 foot away from each other. As a local, you should definitely make this a top spot to frequent locally. If you are from out of town, i would definitely check out this place over commercial restaurants, you can get back home

We stopped for a quick lunch while running some errands. Everyone was very friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and a short wait later our food arrived. The food was outstanding! And to add icing to the cake, an anonymous guest paid for our lunch including the tip. We really enjoyed everything and we will be back!

10 outta 10 DO NOT recommend. We USED to love this place but tonight the service was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. There was hardly anyone in there and we waited almost a for our food. The couple next to us waited almost an hour and a half for their food just for it to not be cooked correctly. My Husband’s cup sat empty for almost 20 minutes and the server walked by and glanced at it 4 times now 🙄 I can’t believe how badly this place has gone downhill. After tonight we sadly will not be returning. Everyone around us was just as annoyed as us waiting for their food.

I finally decided to try Brecks and I will say the the food was seasoned good and the customer service was very good. The server I had was very polite and attentive. Thank you very much for the great customer service. I tried the pork chop dinner which came with 2 fried or grilled pork chops and 2 sides. For the 2 sides I selected mash potatoes with gravy and corn. I also added a side of cornbread. The price was very reasonable for the entree I received.

Good food,great service. Best fried mushrooms around. Their blue cheese dressing/dip is so good, and I don't even like blue cheese.

Breck's as always is excellent but some constructive thought process here is needed. Everyone understands economic reality and the need to cut back some. To succeed don't do that, it is counterproductive. The new menu focus is different from a year ago and for instance several sides are now not part of an entree. Salad dressing is in smaller containers and not overflowing and so forth. Revert to solid food, large portions, old menu and if you need to, just charge more. Go whole hog overboard, get rid of the new menu and revert to the old. Reset backwards and you will be spot on. Charging more is understood but cutting back is not. Dial it back to early last year's menu and all is good. Thanks for understanding a constructive suggestion.

I hadn't eaten here in years. The service was good and the food was good. I was wanting country fried steak and it did not disappoint. It was really good. The Crab dip was a bit salty but other than that we enjoyed. Oan: out server was very attentive.

After going to another steakhouse to find there was an hour and 45 minute wait, we went to Breck's steakhouse. I am so glad we did. There was plenty of seating. It was a nice atmosphere and the menu had lots to choose from and we really enjoyed our meal. I got a ribeye with a loaded, baked potato, and that potato was huge! My son got country fried steak, collard greens, and another side and ate every bite. Will definitely go back to Breck's in the future.

The food, service and overall experience at Breck's was great! I've never had any complaints any of the times I've eaten here. My girlfriend has been coming here since 1997 and she introduced me when we first got together. Definitely a top spot to eat for me!

My wife and I are regular customers. The cook you had today does not need to work in a steak house if they don't know the difference in a ribeye steak and prime rib. We asked if prime rib was available before ordering. We were told yes so we both ordered it. We were sent out two ribeye steaks i immediately asked waitress if this was supposed to be prime rib. She went to the kitchen and asked the cook. He said yes it was. I tried to explain to her that this was a steak cooked on a flat top not a roast baked in an oven. We ate some of it paid our bill leaving very dissatisfied. Not what we are accustomed to at your business. Sent from my iPhone

I've been here a couple of times. From what I can tell it used to be a great local spot. The people who work there are very kind, so I feel a little bad leaving a one star review. But the food was so awful that I don't have a choice. The first time I had a sandwich that was mediocre. I probably wouldn't have gone back a second time but someone else wanted to go there, so I did. It had gotten much worse in the interval. I ordered a rare ribeye and got a well-done paper-thin steak that was mostly gristle. They dumped so much salt on it that it was inedible. The mac and cheese was overdone and had been sitting out so long it was room temperature and congealed into a hardened rock. The only thing that was halfway decent was the rice. But even that wasn't anything spectacular. It was just competently cooked instant rice, I'd guess. Unless drastic action is taken this place is not worth it.

We came here because the wait at Texas... was over an hour and a half. I am so glad that we decided to go to Breck's steakhouse instead. Our server Layla was kind and attentive. She made a great homemade salad for my buddy Tim and she kept the waters coming. We ordered the 12 oz ribeye special and they were very good. The sides were great too. My fried okra and mashed potatoes with gravy were perfect. -Alex

Always good food. Don't look at the bad reviews. You can't come close to the prices anywhere. And the quality is better than local chain steakhouses.

Mac n cheese 10/10 Huge potatoes Slow service 30 min wait but you can seat yourself (slow but friendly service) Fries were good but small portion size Chicken sandwich were okay Good porkchop flavor great but greasy, soft and not crispy Wide variety of sauces I dont trust the mayo so be careful

I had such good memories of great steak, blue cheese, big portions and fair prices at the old Summerville location under The Icehouse. I had a craving for a large piece of red meat, fried mushrooms and some cold beers so I headed to the O.G. Rivers Ave location for a dinner date. We opted for the 30oz steak dinner, got our mushrooms with Brecks' delicious chunky blue cheese dressing. The portions were healthy but very much lacking in flavor, both the mushrooms and steak tasted like there was no seasoning involved in the cooking process. Our sides of green beans and field peas were definitely from a can, which is a shame. There was no salt, pepper or A1 at the table or any of other tables near by. The service was very friendly but the waitress forgot our drinks, which we ended up receiving with our food. There was a large party/event so it's somewhat understandable but when you combine a bunch of small issues it makes you question returning to a place you're paying to be at in the first place. Since Brecks is a budget friendly steakhouse and has been a local staple for years I will hopefully revisit this location at another time in the future and I can chalk this up to a fluke; if I'm wrong at least I'll have plenty of steak leftovers for omelettes the next day.

Couldn't get into my first choice then I remembered Breck's! The server was extremely friendly and welcoming. Ordered two steaks. They were too huge to finish! For the sides we had fries, Mac N cheese, field peas and mashed. They didn't have rice to go with the peas. That would have been wonderful since the peas were so tasty! Mostly it was under seasoned but that's way better than too much salt. Needless to say when were reheat the steaks we'll add our own. But it was really a lot of food and the left overs can last for two more day! Thanks Breck's!!!

Stopped in on our vacation as we were craving some steak and wanted to "casual" dining experience. What a mistake! I would score zero stars if possible. NONE of us finished our (steak) meals. This was easily the worst steak restaurant I have encountered. The meat is low quality and grisly. None of ours was cooked as ordered (med rare). We sent all ours back to be redone, and when they returned thy were still wrong. In fact, we watched as every, single, table (there were 3 other families there) sent their steaks back for the same reason (under done). Fries, terrible. Baked potatoes, old and dirty skin. This place might have been good back in the day (1961?) but the chef there for meal clearly was not up to the task. I would never go back even for free.

Do not come here expecting a great steak or sides. Steaks lack seasoning of even salt and pepper. Vegetable sides seem to taste canned. While the tea was sweet, it lacked a good taste of tea. It wasn't a busy night at all when we went in, but we waited around 25 minutes for our food. It's a no frills bar and grill with food being served on cafeteria plates. Take your money elsewhere.

Was genuinely afraid I was going to get food poisoning. Ordered the spaghetti to be safe and it seemed like they just heated up some old sauce. Couldn't finish the food. 10/10 would not recommend.

Not a good experience, service was poor, food soso and atmosphere, there was no atmosphere. Will not be back.

The food was good. I had steak "Lima beans" and salad. The one thing that threw me off was the Lima beans was white beans. Where I'm from Lima beans are green. But they was still good. Just wasn't expecting white beans. The steak was tender. And the service was welcoming.

I went in and saw that it was seat yourself. I went to the bathroom then sat down at the bar. A waitress was taking a couples order, that was also at the bar. She took the order, picked up the menus and walked past me. I gave her the benefit of the doubt because they looked short staffed. Food was brought to another couple at the bar, but I was never acknowledged. I started the timer then. Another waitress went to talk to the couple next to me and after she was done I asked her if the kitchen was open, she said it was. I counted to five then I walked out. while i was outside deciding where to go the waitress came outside and said she didn't realize my order hadn't been taken. When I asked her "was the kitchen open?" , that wasn't a clue. i told her no thank you, I don't feel comfortable. Why wasn't I seen? Was it because I was a female alone, was it because I am a black female? If I would have comforted them I would be labeled an angry black women. They don't have to worry about me ever going back.

I have been coming to this restaurant for months. Every Wednesday my friends and I come and enjoy 75 cent wings. We all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, and now under new management they have taken away the deal and want to charge for little things like crackers and blue cheese. I still enjoy this restaurant but I think the new management is making a mistake with how they are treating their customers.

, Food was fine! I ordered the round, my son the filet! Everything was half or less full! Salt,pepper, etc! Should be cleaned and filled daily! SERVICE was non-existent, took the order, delivered, and disappeared! Lots of items on the menu are not available! Go somewhere else!

Drove up to try it. Front windows and door were filthy on the inside. We just left. Very disappointed after reading all the rave reviews on Low County Eat Out

Breck's is the best!! Special menus for everyday of the week! Steak Day, Ribeye steak, a side and drink for $11!!

Feeling a tad bit disappointed as Brecks has stumbled since my last swing through. No frogs legs was most unfortunate as it was part of my early dinner plan, part of the reason for my being here. The specials menu didn't grab me due in part to price, as I remember eating large and reasonably priced meals, adjusted for inflation. Bordering on a two star review at this point ---and that's including points off for bad behavior. The two patrons at the bar who were beyond wasted, lloud, crass and talking border control -- all at 4:30. Meatball Dinner soup lacked in a few capacities, mainly including meatball. The potatoes inside were browned, too browned -- they've been sitting -- well floating. The fish of the Fish & Chips was quite good, perfectly deep fried, the fries were not worth the effort to lift, dunk and insert. The service was sweet and attentive, minus the first initial sttempt st contact, recovering a star from paragraph number two.

We have eaten at Breck's in the past and have had great food. Our visit last Saturday was terrible. I was brought a raw steak which I had cut into. Instead of doing a new steak they recooked the cut steak. The steak had zero flavor. Their blue cheese dressing used to be thick and rich and is now watery. Loaded baked potato arrived with cold unmelted cheese. Their standards have declined. Avoid!

Always friendly! Great place to grab a bite. I love this place. Quaint hometown restaurant always delivers. Service is like your mamas house- sweet as sugar and it might take an extra second so they can get it all right the first time. I personally like they don't hover they deliver check back and leave me to enjoy my meal... but I can see from the corner of my eye they are watching the dining room for anything or anyone needing a refill or what not. Let me say first. I'm NOT a dessert eater but the banana pudding cake is LEGIT. Basically this is the one place and the ONE item my husband knows I'll get a slice to go (always). It's super delicious. We've been here many items. I do enjoy the burgers the most. Tonight we had steak and a surf n turf. The steak could use an extra trim to remove the fat but it was cooked well. I personally thought it was a bit to salty but my husband said his was great. We also had crab dip. It had real crab we know this because we found a bit of shell (not a big deal imo) . Over all I enjoy it for me personally ... less salt but again my husband loved it. We continue and will continue to support this small business. We love the staff the most (they are so friendly and they make you feel like family). Seriously if you're reading this get some Banana Pudding cake! (No wait don't they might run out before I get mine lol)

Best steak I have had in a restaurant in a very long time!!! Stopped at a chain restaurant close by and was told there would be an 1.5 hour wait. Husband really wanted a steak!! Found Breck's Steakhouse on Yelp. Definitely a hidden gem!!! Will be back soon!!

Has a decent selection of items. It's been around a while. There are however, some roach issues in the restroom (although dead) likely due to the other buildings next door. Can't really blame it for bug problem, also random extra charges on a *convenience tax* (on top of the 9% county and *hospitality tax* and tip!) if using a credit card...

Walk in and sit wherever you want. Seems like the staff all tag teams everything in there. From the minute we sat we had drinks full and attended to. We got calamari as an app but forgot to take a pic and dove right in! We had wanted to get oysters but we decided for burgers when we saw one. We did not shirt change ourselves. The burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly. Homemade onion rings were also cooked to perfection. You would never see this place if you didn't look for it and I suggest you all LOOK FOR IT! Can not wait to go back!

I had my mother in law in town visiting and it was her birthday. For her dinner she requested seafood. Since we have non-seafood eaters in our family we chose Brecks for the good variety. The service was actually quite good with smiles and never was left needing anything. Food came quite quickly and hot. There was the 2 pieces of fried fish that were each longer than the plate was wide with fries and a second side for two in our party. They both complemented on how well the fish was. But, like another reviewer commented, the string beans were bland and tasted like they were served straight from the can. The others got hamburgers that were pretty good. I will not order them again if I return. There were things that were great but there were more that probably could have more flavor added.

Had heard some about this place, and decided to go there today. While I am not one for judging a book by it's cover, the cover of this book needs to stay closed. The place has the feel of a dive bar, and looks like it had been thrown together from the stuff left behind by other failed restaurants. The staff were very pleasant, almost comically so. I had the feeling they were over-doing their hospitality. But the staff were all friendly and attended to people very well. I ordered their onion rings to start, and they came out very quickly. But the rings were ok, made better by dipping them. Lots of mis-matched dishes here. I ordered their "Ribeye Steak Special", which was anything but special. First of all the entre came out so fast, I know that everything had to be pre-cooked. I was right. I had barely touched by onion rings when they brought out my entre. I ordered a baked potato and green beans. I asked the server if the green beans were canned, she said "Yes, but they dress them up for you." Well, they didn't, they were just plain canned green beans heated up and scooped into a little cafeteria dish on the plate. The baked potato tasted and smelled like it had been sitting for a while. I had asked for butter and sour cream, I got margarine, and "sour cream topping" in little industrial cups. They don't have real butter. The steak was very greasy, and not cooked to medium rare as ordered because it was so thin, you could make it medium with a hair dryer. There were large globs of un-rendered fat all over the steak, and no seasoning. I put some onion rings on the steak to get some flavor. Trying to cut through this steak was quite the effort, as it seems they make their steak with strips of rubber bands woven through the steak. When they asked about desert I thought maybe that would redeem my meal. Nope. The chocolate cake was tasty, but gritty, and seemed a bit undercooked. While the staff are very sweet and attentive, this is really just a greasy spoon that is easily upstaged by much better places just up the road.

It's the kind of place that you want to like, but it misses the mark. The prices are good but maybe not worth it. Salad was out of a bag, warm and had the terribly chemical smell that bagged lettuce can get. The cucumbers had turned yellow. I ordered the "jumbo" wings. Not jumbo .. very very small. And cold, super cold. Fries were cold also. This was 5PM Saturday, so no excuse for cold food. Steaks are ok, but can be greasy/oily and cheap cuts. And strangely enough on a Saturday night, they had no soup. The biggest issue was temperature, every thing seems to be cold. We have tried this place twice now but that will probably be it. The staff is awesome! They are really a plus but the food just doesn't stand up. Three adults for $100 (steak dinner, shrimp dinner and wings)

Breck's is an ok spot. The food is decent. The service was great! All of the waitresses were super pleasant. I wanted to sit in the bar area but it reeked of stale smoke. Wednesdays is 50 cent wings so we each got wings. We shared a basket of fries. And my friend ordered the crab dip. I didn't like anything about the dip but my friend and boyfriend loved it. They don't have a drink menu. Inside is super dated and is in need of a makeover. It's not well lit. The carpet is buckling is several spots. The restroom was disgusting.

I was at Brecks today for lunch. We had 4 roach's crawling on the table. We killed them placing them on a napkin. My husband asked for the manager. He told her what happened she dismissed it say they were "trying to get a handle on it. This is disgusting.

30 ounce steak good bargin, eat half take half home to add to onions and peppers or make into a hash.. the steak is fried on a flat top, nothing to cheer about. Should have ordered the shrimp basket like the other table looked good.

3 stars only because Breck's is located in the sticks (Northern Charleston). As a city boy...I didn't mind Breck's. My class had our class dinner here and the restaurant was able to accommodate all of us in one room (25 people) and separated the checks for us as well. When you're from the big city...you need to have an open mind. You can't go to a place like Breck's and compare it to Ruth's Chris and think you're going to get some prime steaks. I loved the prices. I had a 9 oz rib eye, fried oysters, 6 pieces of wings and a sweet tea for $20! Score! The rib eye was okay. The highlight was Joni our waitress! She was the sweetest thing! Very patient with our big group, very sweet and took care of us. All 25 orders were all correct. Would I go to Breck's again as a tourist? Probably not. But if i was a local...i'd visit Breck's all the time! Credit cards okay.

I would have given them five stars but we waited about ten minutes for service. The wait staff was apologetic and did a great job otherwise. I ordered the blue plate with hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and cabbage. My husband ordered the seafood trio. The food came quick and was nicely presented. I loved the mushroom and onions with gravy. My husband shrimp were fantastic. The cabbage was bland and so was the gravy, but I added condiments according to my taste. Left satisfied! Must say I left one of my favorite pair of Jessica Simpson shades and they kept them for me until I could return to retrieve them, which was nice.

I will have to say that my son and I were very much looking forward to visiting Brekkes again. It's been a couple of years since we've been here for lunch or for dinner. I was disappointed with my steak, I just have to admit. It was smaller than it used to be and it wasn't very well seasoned and it definitely wasn't rare. I hesitate to not give them more stars because their employees are very friendly and very attentive. We had no problems with service at all. However, having gone to Brekkes back in the day, there are steaks were so much better and so much more flavorful. My son got a hamburger and it was good, in fact he said it was very good but it also wasn't seasoned. I love stakes of all kinds and I love them rare rare!! My ribeye was so small there's no way you could've rare unless they just flipped it over. We likely won't come back here for sometime but maybe I'll try the monks corner location. I've never tried there before but maybe they do a bit better job! Again I'm sorry for the workers because they did a great job no fault of their own but the cooks need to cook a tastier more seasoned meal

Me and my wife initially went to Texas toad house and they told us it would be an hour wait. So we decided to go here instead. We split the 30 ounce steak. Definitely enough to fill us up and plus a basket full of French fries. Fast service and food came out quick. Really good place to eat if your craving a steak and don't want to spend a lot of money on one.

We have been a fan of Brecks for years . Today's dinning experience will likely be our last . My liver and onions was way under cooked . Actual blood oozing on the platter which I first thought was gravy . The onions were nearly raw too . My wife had a cheeseburger that tasted more like a turkey burger . I was planning on having the fried fish but the price was more than twice what I paid last time .

Been a while since I've been here because they slipped a bit about ten years ago IMHO. Took Precious for her first visit ever to this North Chuck icon (you age yourself if you remember their Rivers at Ashley Phosphate location). Fresh made onions were my first indication things improved. I love fresh onion rings. I enjoyed my cowboy burger and shared with Precious who ordered an excellent philly cheese steak sandwich. I'm intrigued by the fresh shucked fried oysters on the menu. Can't wait to try them on next visit. Nothing fancy about this place and they have some of the nicest waitresses around. Take the family. Soon.

Food was served ICE cold! waited for 45 minutes for spaghettI that was ice cold. Any person carrying the plate would have known the plate was ice cold! WE WILL NOT RETURN!

Always love eating here. Affordable and the a ton of food. For the price and home cooking why would you eat anywhere fast food?

Not sure why you can't give 0 stars to a restaurant on here, or a 'This place should be closed' option. When the waitress doesn't have any recommendations and has to ask someone else what we should order, that's not a good sign. Also, what steak place doesn't smell of amazing meat when you walk in the door? This one. Appetizer, crab dip? Why wouldn't you, you're in North Charleston. Here you shouldn't. Out of the can crab dip. Sadly I've eaten amazing crab dip everywhere else I've been around here. 'The Breckenridge' was recommended, I ordered it medium rare as well hoping that a place with these ridiculously low prices may have a chance at saving a piece of meat. Well, they didn't. A pan fried steak, possibly microwaved? Finding what was supposed to be a steak on my plate, and after about 5 minutes of cutting around the mass amounts of fat, I finally found a piece that was edible, or so I thought. Such a bland flavor, so much fat, but there was also some fat. The mashed potatoes which I think they may have accidentally dropped a real potato in wasn't half bad. The corn, reminded me of home cooked, out of the can corn, glorious indeed. The water was the best thing I ordered. I would write more but I think you can understand what else you'd find here. Please help bring bad food to where it needs to be, not on your list of places to eat.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat on St. Patty's Day. Ordered their corner beef special was fitting. Corn beef was perfectly seasoned and very tender. And the sides were equally delicious. My server was friendly and attentive.

This was my shrimp platter, so disappointed will never go back. Buyer be aware nothing like the picture this was at the new location in Moncks Corner. Sooo disappointed

Brecks Steakhouse has one mission. To Feed people the food they want at a price they can afford. When I was a college kid with no money. Breaks made steak an option. When I truly found out what broke was after college, steak lunch specials were the only way I ever got a Ribeye! Later working long hours with quick lunches, Brecks saved me from Fast food Hades with quick reliable service. Is it a pretty place? No Is it in a great location? Strip Mall, No Brecks is not a Prom night, anniversary night, Valentine's Day kind of place. But for most of the other nights of the year you should definitely give this place a shot. Especially if you don't want to feel a big sting when the check comes at the end.

love love love the THICK AS HECK blue cheese dressing! the lunch specials are awesome. a baked potato with everything- fresh bacon not those nasty bacon bits! the lunch steak was a little on the thin side- like a breakfast steak. but it was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I just prefer a thicker steak . I tried the corn chowder that Troy made special because I messaged I would be stopping by. and it WAS SO GOOD! lots of corn flavor, had ham pieces in it and potatoes. the broth was the most amazing thing I've tasted in a long while. I didn't order it because there was no way I could finish the steak special I ordered as it was. this is a GREAT place to go for a inexpensive tasty lunch! I must return soon!

Been going to Breck's since I moved to the Charleston-area 9 years ago. Staff is always extremely friendly and attentive and the food is spot on, every time. They have the most amazing Bleu Cheese Dressing (aside from my own Mémé's recipe)! Hamburger steak is also always on point. Keep up the good work, folks!

Do not eat here! The food is overpriced and disgusting. Rip off! They cannot cook. The steak was like rubber. Macaroni was cold. The baked potato was definitely a cook and reheat. It is not a steakhouse. Run now! There are plenty of better restaurants.

Food wasn't seasoned at all. Our waitress was very nice . Yams look like they were straight out the can . Steak taste like water.

The food was very good. Service was great. Would recommend and plan on coming back again

I have not eaten here in probably close to 10 years. Found out they still do the Steak for 2, so that is what I ordered to go yesterday. The staff was awesome, the food was very lacking. The steak was tough and hard to cut. The wife and I was extremely disappointed over-all with our meal.
