Jackrabbit Filly

This will be on the list of regular restaurants to go to while visiting from out of state. I hope the cornbread is a permanent addition to the menu because I'll need to have it again when I come back! It was the best cornbread my family and I ever had in our lives!! Potato leek peirogis were great, as well as the karaage chicken. The mapo noodles were a bit too spicy for the entire family, our noses were running and foreheads sweating, even for those who love spice. I would pass on them next time because I could only tolerate 2 bites without taking shots of water. Pork dumplings flavor was ok, dry inside and lack luster. I would skip those (I have had better elsewhere) and just order more of the potato leek ones, which were 10x better. The roasted peanuts on top were delicious. Overall, everything was great, but the tempura mushroom was not. It was the 1 thing we would never order again as the mushrooms became a mass blob of fried mushrooms stuck together. Also, it had little mushroom flavor and mainly breading. Just too much breading and grease. Appreciated the waitress helping point out vegetarian options and the ability to change a few items to vegetarian. Keep in mind on a weekend they wont let you add onto your order, so you need to know what you want completely. We wanted more cornbread but were denied. Gave lower atmosphere stars because it's loud inside.

We loved the vibe of this place! The decor was well thought out and had a good atmosphere. We came specifically to try chef Shuai’s work, and we were not disappointed! (We actually spotted him in the kitchen too!). Everything was a hit! The bread was crispy and buttery and went well with the cheesy corn. The dumplings were a favorite as the dough was a perfect texture, and everything had an all around good flavor profile. The chicken was a solid dish and the sauce made it really tasty. The pineapple fried rice was good (not quite the best we’ve ever had), but the combination of the smokiness, sweet charred pineapple, and sausage was so unique and memorable! We would love to go back sometime.

My fiancé and I love going on lunch and dinner dates. We always talk about our experience and even jot down a few notes about each dish we have everywhere we go. We had a lot of great things to say about our orders. I first visited Jackrabbit Filly a few years ago when I moved to Charleston and I never forgot how incredible the food was. I thought they had closed down, but I recently found out they just relocated. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and Bridget made our visit even better. She is very friendly and provides amazing customer service. They change their menu seasonally and this is definitely going to be our new regular spot!

Such a cute place. We came for lunch and got the pork dumplings and crab cheese ball to start. The crackers the cheese ball came with were good enough to eat even on their own. Then for our main dish we got the kaarage chicken which was good. The soup we got with our meal was great. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Edited to add- visited again, everything fantastic again! Forgot to mention the nods to Buffalo! Go Bills!! (and amazing bathroom vibe!) Wow everything was fantastic- lots of unexpected and amazing flavors. We all loved everything; krab rangoon cheese ball was great- absolute faves were the pierogis. The bao with radish cake were some magic, and the chocolate cake was so memorable. Highly recommend and recommend reservations if you go at a busy time. We will definitely be back.

This was easily one of the better meals and dining experiences we’ve had in recent memory- and we sure do like to eat. Atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming with both classic and eclectic design. The dim lighting provided us with the perfect date night, but all around us were large groups of friends enjoying the company and the food. We got a handful of cocktails to share- all were excellently crafted, smooth, and lacked pretension. Service from Brighid (Maya Hawke’s doppelgänger) was great; she was really fun and easy to banter with. Just about every employee in the building stopped by during our time in and it’s always great to see effortless and well seamed teamwork afoot. Now to the food- it’s a don’t miss in Charleston. Every plate was conceived with heart and expertise and our only complaint is that we didn’t have more people with us because we wanted every single item on the menu. The Shepherds Pie was traditionally built with kisses of Japanese flavor. The cheese corn bread was almost a dairy drenched Dutch baby with the density of a cinder block (could be a meal on its own). Karaage was the crispiest and most tender chicken I may have ever had- we went with traditional but I’m sure the spicy take is just as perfect. Lastly, the Pierogi…boy oh boy they did not disappoint. As two big boned polish dudes, pierogi is something special to us and these not only didn’t disappoint, they were the highlight of the meal. I also have to say that anywhere else across the country for the quality of the scratch food, atmosphere, and generous portion sizes, you’re going to pay 2-3 times what they’re charging here. Put this place on the top of your list on your next Charleston visit, you won’t regret it.

We were visiting from out of town but kept seeing Jackrabbit Filly as a recommendation and decided to check it out. Highly recommend reservations (we were able to get day of for 5:45). They have a 1.5 hour limit. We went for dinner and got there early to see if we could be seated early (we were already in the area). They said they would have to see and had us wait (which since we were early- I understood- but the dining areas were empty). Waiter was kind. Recommended sharing 3-4 plates for 2 people. We got: Food -Garlicky Cucumbers -Karage -Pork Dumpling -Pineapple fried rice -and had some leftovers from the pineapple fried rice. Our favorites were the cucumbers and karage. Other contenders were the potato and leek dumplings, gnocchi, and veggies Drinks -It's a Party (espresso martini) very smooth and good -As If (nonalcholic) you're typical digestive bitters drink I enjoyed the small plates style experience. Came out to a little over $50/per person

I had been to Kings BBQ many times but not at his other restaurant so when my brother flew in from Europe, we decided to give it a go. We sat at the Bar for lunch. Super cool 70’s Chinese Vibe (words of the Bar Tender and he was spot on). Good choice of Beers, Cocktails and great Wine list. Try the White Wine from Georgia 🇬🇪- exceptional. You cannot go wrong with the Japanese Chicken Karaage-Don, Fish Tartare and so many other good things on the menu. Add to that great service, mixologists at the bar - I will be back many times
