"The owners of Leon's decided to relocate their King Street coffee shop, Saint Albans, in favor of opening a new restaurant, Little Jack's, in its place. Little Jack's officially debuted in Charleston in 2016 and it's already proven to be a true throwback neighborhood tavern with dim lights; green and white checkered tablecloths; old-time-y photos of Frank Sinatra, boxing matches, and racing horses; super cold drinks; and an on-point menu. Try the crudité with avocado mousse, the old school gin “Kennel Club” martini, and the Tavern Burger (American cheese, sunchoke relish, sesame bun)."

Where to Find the Best Seafood Rolls in Charleston - Eater Carolinas

"Crab Roll at Little Jack’s Tavern It’s hard sitting down at the Little Jack’s bar and not ordering a Tavern Burger (or two), but when you’re on a mission, you stick to the mission. After acclimating to this idea, we ordered the blue crab roll and a couple cocktails (because you always get cocktails at Little Jack’s). Little Jack’s also takes the approach that simple is better. Blue crab, celery and capers are dressed with mayo and stuffed in a split-top roll from Pane di Vita that is slightly denser and less buttery than its peers. And, if you have any room after crawling your way around Charleston, the sticky toffee date cake is worth punching an extra hole in your belt." - Robert Donovan

Excellent place to eat. Off the normal trek of places. Recommended by our Uber gentleman - Gary! Katya is an excellent server! Music was on point.

Delicious quick bite. I got the farro salad with grilled chicken and it was really fresh and yummy. My boyfriend got the double burger and he described it as a "quarter pounder but better." I completely agree. Super simple but excellent I don't know how they did it. The Brussel sprouts were excellent to share. Those portions weren't huge but I felt satisfied after. They also sat us right away at the bar and still served us food at like 9:45. Super nice of them to have the kitchen open that late! Atmosphere is lovely too. Can't go wrong with this place

As we approached the place I wanted to turn around and leave, NEVER so glad I changed my mind! We started with the Garlic Knots, then moved on to the Chicken Milanese. It is one of the BEST meals I’ve had here in Charleston. Ended the meal with the chocolate cake and an Irish Coffee. Magnificent all around. The ambience is laid back and the service was stellar. We will definitely be back!

I've traveled weekly for over a decade & finding a non-chain dinner spot is always so frustrating. But this place was perfect, the food was amazing, the beer was local, & the service was spot on!

Little Jack's has been a Charleston staple for years. In just the last few months, l've dined at or ordered to-go from Little Jack's numerous times. Our absolute favorite items are the tavern burger and brussel sprouts! The crab cakes, chicken Milanese, garlic knots, and fries (both ways!) are always delicious, too. The cocktails are consistently great, and they have a good selection of wines by the glass. But my absolute favorite item is their frozen Irish coffee--be sure to finish your meal with one of these, along the ice cream sundae with their housemade chocolate topping!

2nd time being here and again I ordered the burger and again I enjoyed it. I would say though some pickles on the side to give it some acidity would be nice but overall a really good burger. Don't let the size fool you it does the job. Loved the fries and whatever dip they have for them is the perfect combo. The brussels were solid with a nice little Asian twist. They've got wine on tap which was actually pretty good. The only thing that was a severe miss was the flourless chocolate cake. It was like a brick of tasteless chocolate. Overall a solid option and service was welcoming and attentive at the bar.

First time visit today. Staff and manager were incredible. This one definitely goes on the list for a return visit. Everyone in our party had a great time.

When our burger was delivered, we both said it was too small. But you know the saying, good things come in small packages. Great burger combined with the garlic herb fries definitely filled our belly with goodness.

We had a great experience at Little Jack's last week. Andrew was our waiter and he did an amazing job - really all of the staff was excellent, making brief and purposeful eye contact whenever they walked by so we'd be comfortable stopping them if we needed anything but not bothering us or interrupting conversation. We ordered the brussels and the fried cauliflower appetizers and, honestly, we could have stopped there. The cauliflower was huge and by far my favorite item of the evening. The brussels were done perfectly and were delicious. Two of us each ordered the famous burger and fries and they were fine. I almost suggested that we split the burger as I wasn't super hungry and I am SO glad I didn't - the burger is teensy and, while made well, it was boring and certainly not big enough to share. I was not a huge fan of the fries either - too crispy for my liking, but I know many other people love that style. We sat outside and I had been worried as it was a very hot day with little breeze, but we got a table directly under a fan and they provided those little table fans to keep flies away (which honestly didn't help much but made a dent!). It was certainly an Instagrammable view and we saw lots of fellow diners posing for inevitable social media photos - the place is spacious and no one got in anyone's way! We continued to enjoy the apps for a couple more meals and I would not hesitate to return for more of that cauliflower in the future. The dessert options looked good (the manager was a little unnecessarily snarky when we turned down dessert after being friendly the rest of the time) but we had other plans to get to.

My friend & I were in town for a girls trip & got a late dinner reservation for their patio on the day we drove in. Everything was lovely - service, food & cocktails! We got the burger & also an order of surf & turf - the server didn't steer us wrong! Service was attentive but not overwhelming, answered our questions & gave excellent recommendations- we weren't rushed & definitely recommend for a casual night with great vibes!

Little Jacks Tavern for lunch is a great little gem. I can't recall one of the appetizers we had, but not pictured we had the brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Both were good especially if you like brussel sprouts. I got the shrimp burger and I didn't know what to expect, but when it came out and had my first bite it had that nice chargrilled flavor. I'm definitely glad I got this burger. Our waitress was really good and took good care of us. Restaurant was very clean and had an outdoor section to enjoy the nice Charleston days or nights.

Yummy food for late eats! Veggie burger, fries & Brussels were pretty swinging! It was a little late so we had to get it to go & eat it at the hotel but it definitely hit the spot!

We originally were trying to eat down the street at Leon's for oysters but the wait was way too long so we walked to this spot... they sat us right away outside and it was perfect. Ansley our server was so lovely! She was so kind and attentive to us and basically everything we ordered were her recs and we loved it all. The cauliflower was particularly enjoyed by the table; garlic knots were good-- probably could have been more garlicky in my opinion, but the cheese sauce went very well, and they weren't too heavy and greasy. Brussel spouts were great, fish and chips were done perfectly. I do think the crispy fish sandwich could have been crispier. I also loved the Bohemian Rhaspberry cocktail. Give it a go if you're down for a night of good cocktails and comforting american fare in a charming and pleasant atmosphere!

Typically when I come to Charleston I experience the best of the best dining scene. This most recent trip confounded me because I didn't experience that at a couple placed and Little Jack's falls into that category. I came here with four others. It was a busy Wednesday night, but no line. I arrived a bit late with another and upon sitting we were asked what we wanted to drink. My friend indicated she wasn't ready, and motioned to me and said you can start with her. Our waitress then just walked away. Eventually she returned and we decided to order drinks and food. We ordered 4 double tavern burgers, one single tavern, two sides of brussel sprouts, two seasoned fries, and one regular fry. We received 3 double tavern burgers, 2 singles, one side of sprouts, and all regular fries. Then my other friend ordered a beer and instead we received our checks. Our waitress never asked us how the food was or anything. The burger was good. A very solid burger. I think the single would be too small. The aviation cocktail I ordered was near perfect. We weren't loud or stayed an excessive amount of time. We were there for a little under two hours. It was busy, but having a clear view of the door there was never a waiting line or people not getting seated within minutes. Our waitress was quite polite and pleasant even. I have no clue, but since nothing but other than the aviation cocktail wowed me I doubt I will be back.

The Little Jack's burger truly lives up to the hype! Awesome signature sauce for the fries too. The cozy tavern has a great vibe, with excellent cocktails and a friendly staff. We took part in a Blackbird deal earlier this year and waited 3 hours for our burgers--totally worth it! (Especially when you can grab some drinks at Graft & get a text once your table is ready!) I'm definitely looking forward to visiting the Little Jack's team again soon!

This may sound crazy but I have already been to Little Jacks twice in three days for lunch. I've been going here for years but lately it has been all I crave. I order the exact same thing every time- Crudités & Dip, Garlic Knots, and the Twins (two small burgers and fries). It is the perfect meal for two people and such a lovely lunch spot. Literally nothing beats it. The Crudités are some of the freshest, crunchiest veggies I've ever tasted, doused in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. It's served with an avocado mousse that pairs perfectly. Garlic knots are soft and flavorful and the cheese dip that comes with it also pairs perfectly. The burgers are out of this world; I love the size and that it's not too big of a burger but is packed with juiciness and taste. This has become my regular lunch spot because I love the balanced meal I get when ordering these things all together!

Still the best burgers around. This is the first time we been to LJT where we went for lunch and could enjoy dinning outside. We both really enjoyed the quaint little patio and comfortable seating and it is so much quieter than eating inside. Service while not over the top was good. If you are not aware, Bon Appetit's Restaurant once named Little Jack's Tavern Burger as the nations best. And while I have not had the pleasure of eating every burger in the US, it might be hard to find one that is better. This is a a quarter-pound beef patty, with griddled onion, with gooey American cheese, served on a sesame seed bun. I ordered the larger double Tavern burger with extra cheese. The only thing that is disappointing, is that LJT no longer serves their house made chips with caviar.

Been to little jacks 3 times now always have got the double burger which is always a hit! This time I switched it up and got the chicken Milanese which was very good. The vibe inside is so cool. A must go to

We didn't even get the chance to eat here -- and honestly, we're glad we didn't. From the moment we walked in, the energy was off. The restaurant was completely empty, yet we were told they were "fully booked" and could only be seated at the bar or outside. Then a man who seemed to be the manager stepped in and told us that while it looked empty now, it wouldn't be for long. We agreed to sit at the bar or outside, but then the same man told us we needed to throw out the drinks we had brought with us -- even though we were about to sit outside to eat. The way he approached us was incredibly off-putting. It wasn't what he said so much as how he said it -- rude, dismissive, and lacking any kind of basic hospitality. It was clear we weren't welcome, so we left. Based on that first impression, we won't be coming back.

Everything started off great. Food was really good. Service was really good. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Lots of character and cozy! Then my daughter-in-law ordered a slice of cheesecake to take home with her. When she got home and opened up the box, there was mold on top of the cheesecake. It honestly looked like whoever put it in the container, tried to scrape off the mold from the top of the cheesecake because there was bits of it all over on the top of the cheesecake, and the top of the cheesecake was not smooth like a normal cheesecake should be. So very disappointing! I was ready to give this place five stars until this happened.

My friend and I have been to Little Jacks 2x now. Each time we have come has been amazing. The burgers are amazing, although, I do wish adding pickles could be an option....but that's okay. We have also enjoyed the garlic fries, and many cocktails! Last but not least, the sundae was our favorite! A perfect size for two. He even gave us some chocolate sauce to pour on top! The service is great and the environment is fun! We will be back!

Came here on a recommendation from a friend who lives in the area. Even though we were early for our reservation, they had a table ready and we were immediately seated. Jackson was our waiter and he was incredibly attentive and kind, checking in to make sure we were okay. I got the classic burger as it comes, and the fries. Make sure you get the garlic fries, they're life changing! Overall this was a nice little restaurant in a good location with one of the best burgers I've ever had!

Food and drinks were awesome- we got the Strawberry Smash, Old Fashioned, Garlic Knots, Tavern Burger, and Salmon entree. Sat outside on the patio with Aiden and the vibes/ service was amazing. Highly recommend and will be coming back (especially for the burger) for sure. 10/10 Great date night spot and ask for Aiden!

Pretty misleading "burger". It's not a burger, it's a slider. Think White Castle, but for $16 per slider. It came highly recommended so we didn't ask a lot of questions. Fortunately it tasted good, but is very minimal (1/16 lb patty, 1/4 slice of cheddar, some sautéed onions on one bite, house sauce, and slider bun). No lettuce, tomato, etc... included or offered. It tasted good and the fries were good. It was served on a salad plate to make it appear to be more quantity (kind of like trimming the shrubs to make the porch look bigger). Also, the water tasted like dirty armpit so stick with bottled or an adult beverage. I think it was the particular bottle we had as the glass they served initially tasted fine, but when I poured from the bottle, I was hit with the putrid smell before I could ever take a sip. My wife said the same when she smelled it. Unfortunately no one came by and at that point we were ready to go. The most redeeming part was our server. She was friendly and very helpful with my wife's siliac in ordering, but then disappeared for the most part. I just wish she had given a heads up on the size of the burger and checked in to see if we needed anything right after we had a chance to taste it. At the end of the day it was fine. They were open. We were hungry. We're no longer hungry. It did the job.

I don't know. All the burgers in pics look great. Mine and the table next to me , looked like McDonald's then the table on the other side had plump (and steaming hot - not mine) - burgers. Mediocre!

The food is relatively good at Little Jacks, but every item we had was accompanied by the haunting feeling of something not being perfect. The Pisco sour is great, but it's tiny and 14 dollars. The burger was great, but the fries were cold. The steak was good but definitely undercooked. Generally speaking, this is a solid restaurant in Charleston, and it's important to keep these neighborhood style eaterys, but it doesn't feel like somewhere I would always go. Sodas for DD's are not refillable and instead come in those tiny airline cans with barely enough to wet the bottom of your glass. Service is good and knowledgeable but it's a steak and potatoes kind of restaurant so you don't need much knowledge or service.

You hear about a place long enough, you start to think it's got to be overhyped or that you'll be disappointed when you finally try it. That is not the case with LJT. They opened at 12 today and we were there waiting with the line for that magical moment. We were seated promptly and service was friendly and she took well care of our party. The burger is what I came for and the burger is what I got. The double burger to be exact. Double beef, double cheese, and double OMG. Dude. I've been wanting a burger like this for so long. It came with fries that didn't disappoint, but the burger was the star of the show from the first bite to the last. I'd eat one every day if my doctor would let me. Aside from the food, I can't tell if Little Jack was a boxer or an equestrian. There are pictures of both all over the walls. Either way, very cool vibe.

A little disappointed with my time at Little Jack's Tavern... The most major factor that was disappointing was the steak frites was inedible. Not even chewable. After talking with the server and explaining the situation he offered to get something else so we ordered a single burger. When we received the bill we were charged for the steak frites, the burger and topping such as lettuce... Even the manager came out and apologized for the steak being inedible, yet did nothing about it?? And charged us for 2 leaves of lettuce?? Also ranch...? Our server was very kind and attentive which was a plus. The burger was a bit greasy but onions and secret sauce was delicious the garlic and herb fries were delicious. Overall disappointed with our experience at Little Jacks. Will most likely not be returning.

We came here because it came recommended by Mrs. Patricia from southern charmed. It's her and her son's favorite place so thought we would give it a shot. So glad this was the first stop on our eating tour in Charleston. This set the tone for how well we were gonna eat for the next 5 days. We ordered the garlic knots as you can smell the garlic when you walk through the place. I also love crispy Brussels and these were perfection. I wish I ordered like several more plates of that. We all ordered the tavern burger which was the perfect size. The tavern sauce on the burger was also delicious. The decor and atmosphere was also perfect for this tavern. I would 10/10 def recommend this place. Service was also amazing, we sat on the patio and loved the heater also looked like lighting so it looked tasteful.

Entire experience was great! We chose to sit at the bar. Bartender was friendly and didn't mind answering our questions about the cocktails she was making. We ordered oysters and the burger. Burger size was smaller than the typical restaurant however I found it to be perfect because we were trying a few different menus items. In addition, we were traveling so taking leftovers home was not an option. All staff we came into contact with were very polite and friendly. We will define return.

Got a reservation for 5:15 today and was seated right away! There was a huge crowd out so make sure to get a reservation in advance! We sat inside and both ordered the bourbon slushee. It was boozy but soo good on a hot day! They don't have gluten free buns but I did a burger in a lettuce wrap and it was still very good. The garlic herb fries are a must! We also ordered the bacon and it was thick smoked slabs of pork belly and really tasty. We will definitely be back!

came to celebrate my birthday and ordered a steak well done and it came back bread and bloody. Sent it back and it still came back read. The steak was at best bland and grizzly. Do not plan on going back again and as expensive as it was, we could've gone someplace else and gotten much better food.

Beautiful patio dining. Someone is pending time and money on the myriad of plants and flowers. Very impressive! The drinks were delicious; one of the better Margaritas that I have ever had.(rocks, no salt) Steak frite was delicious if not a bit simple. They use tenderloin (!) not the usual sirloin. The burger was on point and not too big to enjoy!

Fun spot for a casual dinner! There's a lot across the street or street parking - during busy times, build some extra time in. The staff are friendly and efficient. We've only ever eaten inside which is cozy and darker but they do have a patio area. The burger is the classic thing to order and is always a solid choice. The garlic fries are excellent. The chicken milenese is wildly good!

Little Jack's has such a cute atmosphere, we sat outside on a cooler evening. Service on the patio was solid. The Jack's Burger was really good, but you have to get the fries. Another person in our group got the fish and chips which also was top notch. Would go back!

These are *almost* the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had, so I HAVE to get them every time I come. Paired with a burger and oh my! The bun was insanely fluffy, and the meat tasted fresh, if you know what I mean? Like good hamburger. Coffee (basically espresso) martinis for dessert AND the blueberry cheesecake was to die for. Our waitress, Caroline, made the evening even better. She was so nice!

We came to Little Jack's on a Saturday for lunch. Luckily, there was no wait and we sat outside. We all had cocktails and we ordered two apps. We had the crudités and the Brussels sprouts. Both apps were good but the crudités were very overpriced. They didn't give enough of a portion of vegetables for the $14 price tag. Everyone then ordered the burger, except for me. I had the shrimp burger, and I would not recommend it. The bread was soggy and it lacked flavor. The burger was a hit. Overall, the experience was pretty good but the prices are just too high. We enjoyed being outside and were comfortable, but I find the inside to be too stuffy. (Though many like the interior ambiance).

Loved the shrimp burger! But the Tavern Burger was surely the smallest burger I've ever had in a restaurant. I would not order that again at that price. More of a slider size and was not dressed. Otherwise the service was great and location is very convenient. Can't wait to sit outside in the lovely patio

I was just at Little Jacks about two weeks ago and had the Tavern Burger I so well remember from previous visits. Delicious! Tonight I go in, excited to share w my husband and the burger was awful. Thin, flavorless, and dry. A fast food burger would have beat this burger out in a taste test. I told the bartender and she was sorry and said she would tell the chef. I NEVER expect a comp nor do I write bad reviews as a rule but after spending $60+ for 2 scrawny burgers and 2 drafts yeah... here we are. Do better, Little Jacks, cutting corners will insure no future visits from me. This is a food town, we have options. Two stars for the draft and good fries.

After reading several comments on Reddit that Jack's has the best hamburgers, my fiancé and I decided to have lunch here while in Charleston for a wedding. I also saw that some of the southern charm cast dined there which was a big draw for me. We arrived around 2:30 pm on a Friday and it was mostly empty inside - just us and a couple other tables. I loved the vibe of the interior. They had a nice big long bar which would be a good for a first date. Despite the restaurant being empty, our waitress was painfully slow - she didn't check in with us after our food came and it took forever just to flag someone down to pay. Besides that small issue, we loved our burgers. We got the regular tavern burger with the garlic & herb fries. The tavern sauce is so delish - ask for an extra side for your fries. I loved the seasoning on the fries. I would recommend this place for those in North Charleston. A couple doors down is Leon's which is another cool spot to check out.

Didn't have a chance to eat or drink. We usually have a great experience at Little Jack's as locals but last evening was an exception. Front of the house was the main issue. The door hadn't closed behind us yet and a gentlemen immediately asked, "what time is your reservation?" The approach immediately made us feel like we did something wrong for walking in the door. No reservation, we just wanted to see if we could grab a drink at the bar. "No room at the Inn?" was the answer we received. I asked how long of a wait? "Minimum 30 minutes!" No eye contact, no offer to grab a drink at the bar or any invitation to stay. Left us with the impression they were pretty much done with people for the evening at 8:45pm. We walked over to Melfi's and spent $100 at the bar. Huge opportunity here for improvement at the front of the house.

Talking about a tiny burger tasted alright but damn I feel like I got robbed paying $25 for this lol. Included my hand in the picture just so that you can tell how little we're talking. I guess "little jack's" stands for "little" portions.

Overall, we really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was beautiful & intimate. Be sure to make a rsvp or check ahead, they were booked when we arrived but we did sit at the bar - which was still very comfortable. As for food - the brussels sprouts and grouper fritters were highly favored in our party. The burger was simple and good, but the BLT was superior with its thick slab of bacon. However, the star was the cheesecake! Portions don't necessary match the price tag, but overall still good. Service was 10/10. If you're looking for a cozy Charleston spot to have a drink and some good apps, this is definitely the place to visit.

Highly recommend! This was one of the best meals we have had lately. The chicken Milanese was fresh and light. The Brussels sprouts were crispy in a tasty sauce. The burger and fries were top notch. Lots of good drink options. Sadly too full to try dessert.

Consistent burger/fries spot & what you'd expect from the place. Went on a Sunday afternoon & were the only ones in the spot. $8 for a Narragansett on draft...
