"Tucked away in corner of an unremarkable shopping center anchored by a Bi-Lo in Mount Pleasant, it might seem that Wood & Grain is just the kind of place that you go when you want to be some place warm and inviting when the day has been anything but. Opening the glass door to the restaurant's dark interior, illuminated by an open hearth kitchen in the back of the room and scented with all things savory and satisfying, promises that this is much more than your default neighborhood spot. Chef Patrick Owens has been doing his own thing in Mount Pleasant for years—head down, spreading red sauce on a pie or wiping plates at expo at one of his other restaurants on the daily; not so much in the spotlight as spotlighting the local bounty, which is the Charleston ethos. The flavor combinations, the balance, and the execution of his dishes are consistently excellent, be them atop a disc of dough, baked into the oysters, or on a salad." - Stephanie Burt

"What were your first impressions when you arrived?   Tucked away in corner of an unremarkable shopping center anchored by a Bi-Lo in Mount Pleasant, it might seem that Wood & Grain is just the kind of place that you go when you want to be some place warm and inviting when the day has been anything but. Opening the glass door to the restaurant's dark interior, illuminated by an open hearth kitchen in the back of the room and scented with all things savory and satisfying, promises that this is much more than your default neighborhood spot. What’s the crowd like?   The crowd has the relaxed air of locals who visit on the regular. They're not trying to impress with their ordering, but hanging out with the family or friends—or posted up at the bar enjoying a drink while waiting on a to-go order. The dress is casual and the servers know a lot of people on a first name basis. What should we be drinking?   Nothing on the wine or cocktail list will knock your socks off with its ingenuity, but that's part of the charm of a classic red, or the well-made Bees Knees or Manhattan. What you're offered are all solid choices, so missteps are at a minimum. Main event: the food. Give us the lowdown—especially what not to miss.   Although the crust doesn't come out of the oven with the leopard spots so beloved in the Neopolitan style of pizza, the pizza is still nevertheless the thing here—chewy and cheesy and wood-fired, topped with seasonal, local ingredients including mushrooms, all kinds of alliums (garlic, leeks) and a plethora of cured meats, from duck to ham to fennel sausage. Chef Patrick Owens has been doing his own thing in Mount Pleasant for years—head down, spreading red sauce on a pie or wiping plates at expo at one of his other restaurants on the daily; not so much in the spotlight as spotlighting the local bounty, which is the Charleston ethos. The flavor combinations, the balance, and the execution of his dishes are consistently excellent, be them atop a disc of dough, baked into the oysters, or on a salad. It's not necessarily avant garde poetry, but it is solid prose that you can proudly recommend to others and enjoy immensely, no matter your knowledge of pizza canon. And how did the front-of-house folks treat you?   The staff are used to regulars, and those folks easily become regulars because they are welcomed quickly, with a drink order and a smile. They are observant and watch what pleases people every night, so they are quick with recommendations, and seem to have a pride in the restaurant and how well it serves its guests. What’s the real-real on why we’re coming here?   This is a stop for a drink after work, a place to bring your friends, have a date night, or grab a solo bite at the bar. If your living room had better lighting and a wood-fired oven run by a chef, then this would be it." - Stephanie Burt

"Pizzas topped with fancy meats and a raw bar boasting the bounty of the Lowcountry make Wood & Grain a crowd-pleaser. Proteins like duck ham, sopressata, and fennel sausage arrive sizzling after exiting the wood-fired oven. Oysters on the half shell, chilled lobster, and local shrimp provide tasty bites while socializing before the main dishes arrive." - Parker Milner

Service was very attentive and personable. I'm usually not a fan of high-top tables, but the seats were comfortable, and the tables were sturdy. The menu is simple; make sure to ask about their specials. For starters, the chefs cheese selection is a must - even if you're not a cheese connoisseur. Warning: the salads are meals themselves. A single pizza and salad could easily fill hungry couples. The pizza is excellent. It reminded me of my time in Italy. The sauce is wonderful. I was a bit disappointed in their "gelato", it was literally ice cream. It's a nice place, in a nicer area, it's touristy, the ambiance was a bit classy; but at the end of the day, it's pizza! So the price was a bit of a shocker. I mean, when I parked the Chevy between a Jaguar and a Mercedes-Benz, I didn't think much of it. -- It was a nice treat.

Holy crap this place was great. First time in. Johnny was our server...he was great. Oysters were fabulously shucked, no bits of shells at all. Tasted great. Tuna crudo was very enjoyable. The octopus appetizer was outstanding, amongst the best we've ever had. 9.5/10.

My soul was renewed after our experience with this impeccable location. So good we went back the next day. Lobster, octopus, grouper ceviche, key lime and raspberry sauce with oysters!! Never has food been an experience like this!! Staff was incredible! Just go you will not regret it

This was our first visit to Charleston and this restaurant was recommended by the manager at our hotel. The staff are friendly, great vibe, service and great food. We had salad, octopus, tuna & ginger, and margarita pizza, and loved all the dishes. The prices are a bit on the high side, otherwise we highly recommend this restaurant.

Love this place! Oh so good on everything, everytime! I come here for my oysters & pizza fixs! They always come up w the best pizza creation! And the oysters always fresh & great selection!!! Oh and the fresh local shrimps, and lobsters roll! Hidden gem fr all the tourists 😊 Of course the food quality is great bc this is part of Langdon! Love that place too.

We HIGHLY recommend wood and grain. The service was amazing and everything we ate had such good flavor. Started with the app which had a great blend of sweet and delicate flavor paired with just a hint of spice. The pizza was so good we couldn’t stop eating it until it was gone! The cast iron Brookie had such a great sweet flavor with a touch of hazelnut. The caramel was the perfect topping. Definitely will be back and will bring our guests to experience.

Natalee is wonderful! She is friendly, helpful and kind. Speaking with her was delightful and her service was stellar! Food was excellent! Shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad, margarita and build your own pizzas, seasonal vegetables. We saved the best for last - lemon-strawberry crème brûlée. I would return to Wood & Grain for that alone.

Wood & Grain is positively delightful. The tastiest lobster roll ever! Black bass ceviche was amazing. Wonderful selection of fresh succulent oysters. But, the service at Wood & Grain rivals any white cloth NOLA garden district restaurant. The manager, Laura, and our server, Leila absolutely made our dining experience one that we'll not forget for years to come.

Enjoy the wood fired pizza and raw bar combination and they pull it off well. Make sure you try the lobster roll from the raw menu. Delish!

Our new favorite date night spot. We went on a Friday night around 6:30pm and were sat outside on the patio immediately. It's definitely a smaller space but loved that they had an outdoor option. We got the broccolini app to start and it might have been our favorite bite all night. My husband talked about it all week. They were also willing to make it nut free to accommodate our allergens which we always appreciate! For our entrees with did the bacon and Gorgonzola pizza as well as the fennel sausage pizza (substituted spinach for kale). Both were delish but the bacon Gorgonzola was for sure the winner. So much flavor and their crust is just amazing. We can't wait to get back here!

Victoria B.

Yelp
Great little spot. Server was attentive, water glasses were constantly being refilled. Got the special roasted oysters and a special pizza. The bacon Gorgonzola pizza was flavorful and the prosciutto tomato pizza was super fresh with tons of prosciutto! Would definitely be back. Decor is coastal and lovely.

Oysters = outstanding Pizza (special) = very good and I'm from NJ originally Service = abysmal Ran into friends outside but sat at the bar. 20 minutes to fill our simple drink order (one wine one beer). The bartender had to intervene to get us our drinks. Not a full house and many wait staff present. I don't get it. Our friends outside indicated similar slow, slow service.

My best friend and I go to Wood and Grain at least twice a month. Last night, our experience was unlike any other before. (Bare with me here) We got a bottle of wine, and two of every oyster from the north east (to decide which ones we wanted) along with the Wood fire oysters on the normal menu. When the raw oysters came out, we clarified with the waitress which ones were which. So when she came back, we pointed at the oysters and said we wanted the small petite cup ones and now we wanted the SPECIALTY wood fired oysters. It starts with the same wood fired oysters from before were dropped off. Those were wrong. Then they bring out the raw oysters which are large cups and clearly not the same ones from before. We don't eat the woodfired ones or the raw ones until we speak to our waitress and she tells us that there's nothing she can do about it because they're on the table them when we told her specifically which ones we wanted. She offered us a free salad or pizza. So we said the salad was fine for HER mess up (still annoyed about the oysters). The bartender dropped off the salad and asked us how we were and I told him we were really disappointed with what just happened because it was not our fault she put in the wrong oysters. He asked us how he could fix it and we were like it's OK. He insisted so he made us two espresso martinis and put in a order for the right specialty wood fire oysters. I have some of the raw oysters because my friend didn't like them and we were told that we still had to pay for them. Our waitress walks by and says to us in a condescending tone "Well looks like you enjoyed your oysters anyways." We were so shook that she just said that to us we couldn't believe it. We still stayed and ordered dessert which is fine. She brings us the check in charged us for the wrong woodfired oysters and the specialty oysters. I asked her about it and she tells us that we have to pay for all of them (even though this was her mistake) or she is going to charge us for the espresso martinis and the salad that were offered to us. We were not rude to her. We were kind to her. We paid it. It is what it is but at the end of the day the hospitality here was absolutely shocking, and we don't know if we'll ever be back after last night. Her name was Amanda S and was the shift manager that night. I am a waitress myself and could never imagine treating my customers the way she treated my friend and I.

The food is undeniable. Used to be a lot of fun but now they want to rush you out. Half-full on a Friday night. Something is wrong. What happened to our spot?

Food was phenomenal great atmosphere, 10/10 recommend. They were able to seat us right away. This is truly a hidden gem

Ordered a Margherita pizza for carryout tonight. The pizza was tasty enough, but the weren't any tomatoes on it and it wasn't exactly memorable. I would have given a 4 star rating, but when I arrived, I could see my pizza was sitting out on a counter by the front window with absolutely no attempt to keep it warm. Also, no one acknowledged me while I waited patiently at the hostess stand. I finally had to get the bartender's attention and say I was there for a carryout order.

If you don't like pizza this will change your life. Oyster selection is the best! Great food and def top notch

Latasha B.

Yelp
We had a great time here! The food was awesome and so was the service. Shout out to our server Barrett (aka LL) who embraced our craziness and handled it with ease. Our favorite drinks were the Paloma and the Pinot Noir. We tried a lot of good items from the menu. The roasted oysters were fantastic as were the daily special oyster selection. The blanco pizza was delicious and we topped it with their hot sauce...next level! I have only been once but you can best believe that I will be back.

Great place to eat. Easy free parking. Staff was excellent and in top of things throughout. Had the Romaine salad to start which is plenty for two and it was excellent! Funghi pizza was fantastic! Perfectly done! Great flavors. Wood fired brownie with vanilla ice cream and carmel was also fantastic! This is a place to frequent!

Carolyn J.

Lobster Roll was very expensive and lobster was chewy. I ordered oysters as an appetizer and they came fifteen minutes after my meal. Very disappointing experience for what I paid. The server offered no compensation

Julia R.

Had drinks here and can't wait to go back for dinner! The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. My cousin had the octopus and said it is the best. The place was busy and even late until close, so you know it's good! I'll be back soon for dinner and will take pics!

Best pizza plus the raw bar is delicious. Peel and eat shrimp, tuna poke, mushroom kale salad - all faves!

I love the casual atmosphere. Good service. I like the raw oyster bar. The kale mushroom salad was perfect to start. The daily special pizza would've been better if left in the brick oven longer.

Wood & Grain has amazing food! We've had the burrata appetizer, roasted oysters, and several of the pizzas (all phenomenal). The service has always been friendly. It is nice they don't take reservations so can often walk in for a last minute date night. However, taking off a star because they do charge the credit card fee which is absurd since I'd assume the majority of their clientele pays via credit card and paying via cash only slows down their servers and makes more effort. But alas, as that is the rising trend in the area (though not standard in any other market from talking to friends - DC, New York, Nashville friends have never heard of such a thing at nicer restaurants) I will continue to bring cash around with me and be that person to annoy the wait staff when I pay with cash and tip assuming they remove the credit card fee. I wish restaurants would just own up to their operating expenses and price their menu items accordingly. Price increases are impacting all of us, not just the restaurant industry, so it would be nice to know what I will be charged when ordering and base my decision on eating out on the advertised prices rather than tacking on a hidden fee. Also, I did not see any notification that a fee would be charged prior to receiving the check. Overall, great food, staff, and ambiance, but beware, a sneaky unexpected fee will be added to your bill.

Alex B.

Yelp
Can't believe the 3rd rate service for these prices. Chinese take out would be a step up. Seriously can't expect high school students to do a professional job. For example, grabbing plates without asking, taking way too long to bring beers and tea, tried several times. The short blonde especially had an attitude. While the food was decent, with all the amazing restaurant options, why would I come back here again. Hope this review helps when you're wondering why patrons are voting with their feet.

2/10/18 ... What a difference! We loved the quick, comfortable high top seating (away from the door). Our friendly, helpful server, Leyla, immediately set the tone for a positive experience. Joe really enjoyed the charred and very generous portion of octopus, served in a deep bowl with romesco and tender butter beans. My half pound of chilled peel and eat (jumbo) shrimp did not disappoint ... plump and tender with just a hint of seasoning and two yummy sauces ... delish! The baby kale salad with wood-roasted mushrooms, lemon reggiano and thyme was refreshing and a break from my usual Caesar. The portion, filling an entire (soup -sized) bowl was plenty for us to share. I (still) was not impressed with the pizza, this time, topped with Bacon and Gorgonzola. The meat was scant and the pieces, not larger than crumbles. We'll be back! Next time, I'm checking out the Eggplant Parm, a new menu addition. 1st Visit It was Joe who actually suggested that we check out W & G after all, we love Langdon's and Opal, the other restaurants in the Owens Dining Group. Not finding any mention of reservations on-line, I called mid afternoon (yes, someone picked up the call!) and was told that reservations were not taken and that table service started at 4:00 pm. As we often skip lunch on Saturday opting to dine early we arrived at 4:30 pm and was seated right away at the one table for two by the window. Our server, Erin, stricken with laryngitis, struggled to be heard above the blasting Motown era playlist as she explained that while 'table service' started at 4:00 pm, the only menu options available before 5:00 pm were beverages or from the raw bar. OK, though I was craving a Caesar, I was hungry and yes, the shrimp would work! Joe started with a glass of the Chianti Classico ($10.00), one of the least expensive options among the reds. The pour was acceptable and he enjoyed it. My Bloody Mary arrived in a highball glass ... and while it was tasty (I love the Zing Zang mixer) ... there was way too much crushed ice and not enough beverage. It was gone in a few sips ... so disappointing. And while I don't recall the price it was probably around $10.00 based on the other cocktail prices posted on the on-line menu. Neither the menu, nor Erin, mentioned that the shrimp selection ($14.00) was 'peel and eat' and though it became obvious when the shell bowl and hand wipes were placed on the table, clarification should have been made at the time our order was placed for diners who may not be familiar with the preparation. The shellfish quickly arrived ... wow ... 12 large (bordering on jumbo) heavy, local, chilled and lightly seasoned (think Old Bay) beauties served in a mound on a tray of ice. Both the key lime aioli (smooth and creamy) and cocktail sauce (tangy with a dab of horseradish) were tasty; however, the portions of each were so small to really make an impact. We were completely underwhelmed with our pizzas. First, they were over cooked and in some spots, burnt, but more disappointing, Joe's Salsiccia ($16.00), composed of tomato, fennel sausage, greens and ricotta, was too short on sausage (four thin, small slices) and while every nano inch of my veggie selection, the Pesto ($15.00), with roasted eggplant, mozzarella, feta, capers, corn and yellow cherry tomatoe halves was covered, I only counted 3 slices of eggplant. No, we were not happy. If you are considering checking out W&G there are a few things you should know. (1) It is not family friendly (no children's menu) so leave the kids at home. (2) By 5:30 pm, the small dining room was filled and every seat at the bar was taken. (3) If you are looking for a great Happy Hour deal, keep looking as there are no specials. (4) The menu is small ... so check it out on-line to be sure everyone in your party will be satisfied. (5) There is no carpet to help absorb sound and the volume of music challenges meaningful conversation. In my opinion, a concept like Wood & Grain would be a great option in a large hotel, or resort and for I'on et al. locals wanting after an after the theater (movie, concert) lite bite but with closing at 10:00, for the latter, it's not an option. For us, with so many places around town to drop a fast $100+ (with tip and tax) it's unlikely that we'll be returning anytime soon.

One of my favorite go to places. Food is creative, prepared with great technique, balanced and consistent. Staff is terrific, attentive and genuinely wants to get to know regulars. The place is always packed with locals which tells you something.

Ambiance was great, food outstanding. beet salad & veggie special - good mix of relaxed-formal & casual.

Would normally give W+G five stars --- not tonight. And not because of food or service ( both excellent - kudos to BrandI ). An annoying 3.5 % service charge added to the subtotal. And for what ? Credit card service charge ?!! Couple of points : --- typical avg.% charged to the business -- 2.5% , so on it's face it's an overcharge. --- it's added to the subtotal , so it adds to your tax +tip total --- if I pay cash , I forfeit points on my card that charges me an annual fee --- W+G does not publish that a charge will be added . We eat out about four times a week and this is a first. Staff can't be thrilled having to explain. Wood and Grain is one of our local places -- as I'm sure it is for many others. During inflationary times , not the best business decision. Maybe give back to the community , not " add to the bill "

Deb P.

Nice atmosphere! The pizzas are cooked on the dark side so be ready! We enjoyed but the menu is pretty limited so review before you go. Would definitely go back when in the mood for a brick oven pie.

Pretty much 5 star, but not quite. One of the best ceaser salads I've ever had. Cool place. High end vibe. Pizza was excellent.

Laura L.

Yelp
Walked in hungry and thirsty after a day of traveling, engaging bartender and oyster-shuckers filled us in on where to go during our first trip to Mount Pleasant as we sipped wine. Food was beautiful and delicious: we shared the roasted broccolini over house ricotta, walnuts, lemon and fresnos served with country wheat toast starter. Next up, the Bacon Gorgonzola roasted garlic pie assembled before us then popped into open pizza oven was entertaining and mouth watering. Plenty of indoor and patio seating however we enjoy the bar vibe and convo, happily satisfied!

Good. I had a duck ham start, mushroom salad, and funghi pizza. They have me plan to try another restaurants in Owens Group.

The ambience and the customer service was great! The server let us Try the Dockham since we are unsure about it while we ordered the meat pizza. I highly recommend!!!! The muscles special were spectacular and the octopus was one of the best I've ever had!

I had high hopes for W&G but i left feeling slightly disappointed. We love Opal which is part of this dining group, but W&G won't be on my short list. We went on a Monday night and it was packed! It's very small and they do not take reservations. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp which comes with a key lime aioli. I didn't taste any key lime and found it to be spicy. Very odd seeing as key lime lends you to thinking of sweet. Also served with Siracha cocktail sauce which was great and not as spicy as the key lime which was bizarre. We then had the wood fired oysters which man friend loved. I didn't care for them at all. The combination of warm oyster (I love an oyster roast) with the marinade just didn't do it for me. Prosciutto and tomato pizza was next. One piece of prosciutto to a slice. Didn't see any tomatoes other than the sauce. Could have stepped up the garlic game. Overall, the pizza was a letdown. Rounded out the meal with the kale and mushroom salad which was my favorite item after the shrimp. It was good and flavorful, but it's not a salad that would keep me coming back for more. Prior to tip, we spent $72. No drinks. I'll be leaving this one for the Mt. Pleasant citizens.

Amy J.

Yelp
Fantastic starters, great service, they are sure to make a great date night! With so many amazing restaurants in Charleston, it is difficult to decide where to eat, you will not be disappointed here. Smaller portioning outstanding taste and creativity. Make your reservations because you can't just walk in to this place without one.

As my wife is throwing up in the bathroom from eating a spoiled oyster, I am writing this review. We are locals and have always enjoyed all of Patrick's restaurants, but I was appalled at my experience tonight at Wood & Grain!! We were served spoiled oysters. Yes, mistakes happen and after 40 yrs of eating oysters, you will come across a "bad" oyster. But when I confront guy running the oyster station argues with me while making the point oysters have a shelve life "30 days"....I become VERY concerned! When the same guy then informs me that the harvest tag shows expired oysters my wife just ate....I REALLY become concerned. Then when the "manager" Hillary begrudgingly pushes back and say "we made a decision to not charge you for the oysters", as my wife is gagging in the bathroom, and thats it.......yes, I take exception. Patrick, you are better than this and I cant imagine you find this acceptable as an owner. This is NOT Dominos or a fast food intended experience, nor is this the level of service or way to handle an issue for a dining establishment like the ones you've created. DHEC must be made aware and my only hope in writing this is that others don't experience it, nor have their wife in the background throwing up sick as a dog while their husband writes reviews. You are better than this !

Nothing special. Overpriced. Pizza and salad were just simply not worth the money. Guessing the locals find it convenient but honestly can't give much of a great review.

Julie S.

Yelp
Genuinely delicious, unexpected and surprising. Tucked away in a shopping center next to a nail place and take-out Chinese, I was surprised at the cozy atmosphere in Wood and Grain. We were seated right away (very attentive and efficient hostess) and our server brought water immediately. He seemed eager that we enjoy our time at Wood and Grain and was happy to hear our thoughts and answer our questions. We chose the octopus, flounder ceviche, kale salad, roasted oysters and saussito pizza. I'm happy to say that each bite was delightful. The oysters were plump and fresh, the octopus with gremolata was scrumptious, the ceviche was bright and fresh and the fennel sausage on the pizza was delicious. All in all, a really refreshing surprise in Mount Pleasant.

Solid pizza and raw bar option in Mount Pleasant. Definitely a hidden gem because you wouldn't know it was there if you didn't already know it was there. Started with the Venetian cocktail, which was ok. Cocktail prices are really expensive for what you get. I'd stick to wine or beer, which is much more reasonably priced. We shared the roasted eggplant relish and butter bean hummus duo, and I was very impressed! The flavors were delicious and I loved the pita bread accompaniment, although I was just as happy to eat it plain with my fork. I would've liked it better if it was served warm, though, I think. We also split the warm heirloom tomato and mozzarella salad. Two big hunks of tomato, covered in melted cheese, with arugula... I mean, come on! It's just too good! I really loved how thick the slices of tomato were, they definitely don't cheat you. The dressing on the salad was also really refreshing and yummy. I ordered the sopressata pizza, which is their take on a pepperoni pizza. It was perfectly cooked with just a little bit of char, and the freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top was awesome. Be warned: it's a bit peppery. My friend got the blanco pizza and I was super impressed. It was really garlicky, with a little bit of citrus, and lots of white cheese. If you like white pizza, I highly recommend this one! I'll be back!

Went on vacation - great service, great food. Host asked a smaller group that came in just before us to move to another smaller table once it opened up so our party of 5 could use the 6 top. Got us seated within 10 minutes. Seemed like we ordered the whole menu and all of it was outstanding. Even the roasted broccolini dish was awesome - had ricotta, walnuts - and a little kick. Octopus (with butter beans we cleaned up) was incredibly tender. Oysters were all great. Tuna app, smoked duck ham, burrata - all fantastic. Had three pizza's - Opal, Blanco, and Prosciutto and tomato. I didn't have the Blanco (rest of family liked it) - but other two were great. Can't recommend this one highly enough. No throw away dishes here.

We were on vacation and decided to try this place - one of the pizza we have had with a delicious thin crust.

It's a small cozy space interestingly enough in the space place as some of this restaurant group's other properties (Langdon's), but Wood & Grain is a cozy, trendy "hot spot" for good food, beer and wine. I went with a group of ladies the other night and we had some great bottles of wine, in tandem with some shared plates of food, which were all PHENOMENAL. Definitely order the kale salad - it was beyond good - and the oysters. We also had the Prosciutto Fig and Fungi pizza, which were both awesome! Atmosphere is really cute and very appropriate for a romantic date or a night out with a small group of friends!

Yelp
Staying at a friend's house in Mt. Pleasant, they recommended this restaurant. We had had a long day of travel and was looking for a casual meal close by. Wood and Grain did not disappoint, we had a wonderful pizza and an excellent Caesar salad. It was crowded the night we went but they got us a table right away. Great experience would go back there again when I am back in town.

Bev M.

Yelp
We had a wonderful al fresco dinner at Wood and Grain. Our server, Israel, suggested a wine to accompany my wood-roasted oyster appetizer and it was great. I also had the wood-roasted mushroom salad with kale and my companion had the Quad-piece pizza with house made sausage one of the fantastic meats. The wood oven made everything incredible. The dessert was also delicious!

I have actually been to Wood & Grain once when it first opened but recently returned. This return experience actually warrants me thinking that this is one of the best restaurants in Mt P! We started with wine and the cheese plate! I was super excited to see that they carry one of my favorite winery's, Sokol Blosser, rosé! We next moved on to the grilled oysters and they were excellent (especially with the rosé). We decided to split 2 pizzas, the Blanco and the Bacon Gorgonzola. Our server, Hillary, was so awesome when it came to any questions and substitutions! We were able to have bacon on half of the pizza so that we could share with non meat eaters!! Finally, we finished the night with dessert-I believe it was a strawberry shortcake and it was divine!! They don't take reservations, but when we walked in between 6-6:30, there were several open spots at the bar and communal tables!

Oh my yum! This place is such a gem! We were worried from the other reviews that there would be a wait, but to our excitement we were able to score a table right away. The ambience is modern and romantic. Our waitress was prompt and courteous. She made great recommendations. The beer and wine lists were unique and made great pairings to the food we ordered. We started with the cocktail shrimp which were delicious and served with a slightly spicy cocktail sauce. We got the bacon gorgonzola pizza and the special squash pancetta pizza. Both were delicious. We ended the night with the deconstructed strawberry crumble which was out of this world. Beautiful, tasty, and not too heavy. Overall the place is kind of pricey for pizza, but omg so worth it.

Wood fired pizza! Raw bar! I'm in! In fact I'd like to move in. Chilled local shrimp and raw oysters, as well as wood roasted oysters are sure bets. The baby kale (don't ever let kale grow up) salad with local wood roasted mushrooms is just like heaven. The margharita za is perfection. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy, props for playing classic R&B club jamz. No reservations accepted here but we sauntered right up to the bar. I love this unique culinary combination of wood fired cooking and fine seafood. Thank you Chef Patrick.

Love Love Love this hip trendy spot in Mt. Pleasant. A great vibe here with phenomenal fresh seafood. We were very surprised that we could just walk in at 5pm on a Friday night. The place was bustling & we sat at the bar facing those awesome oysters. They have a lot of people on staff here & they are super helpful. We had a selection of raw oysters, Ceviche & fabulous shrimp which came unpeeled. I'm lazy & wished they were peeled for us but it's ok. We had a great bottle of wine & sat and enjoyed the vibe & ambiance here. So the take away.. Fantastic for date night, fantastic for a girls night out, great to sit & just enjoy. We missed happy hour here. They have it from 4-5pm. I'm not sure what is available on the happy hour menu but I'll definitely return to check it out. This place is pricey but I'll pay if the food is superb, which it was.

Wood & Grain is 5 star for all the right reasons, and our night here was just wonderful! No reservations on a Saturday night and we did not even wait, just sat right at the bar. From the minute we entered to the minute we left the staff was friendly and engaging. The inside is a little smaller than expected, but adequate with about 5 tall pub tables along the far wall, 2 larger pub tables in the middle, counter seating at the front window, and then the bar. What was noticeable was the vibe, so lively, energetic, and a good mix of music to boost. After reviewing the menu, our night started with drinks. There was a good beer selection of both local (Coast Kolsch, Westbrook One Claw, Freehouse IPA) and craft beers. But the specialty cocktail menu needed our attention first, I chose the La Paloma. Then we ordered the essentials - oysters and pizza. They have 2-3 different oysters to choose, we went with Wellfleet oysters from Massachusetts. Lovely, right amount of salinity, and they have some great sauces to add. But we also saw the wood roasted oysters on the menu, and had to have them...Yum! Big plump oysters, warm with a garlicky topping. For a salad I went with the local greens salad that was topped with a creamy gorgonzola dressing. My husband had the local mushroom salad with kale, lemon & thyme. Both were large servings, but we managed. Then came the pizzas, that were cooked in the wood fire oven. We sat so close to the kitchen area we could see pizzas made and cooked all night. We had one margharita pizza and one funghi pizza. Both were satisfying and delectable, but the funghi was the winner with roasted local mushrooms, fontina, feta, garlic & thyme. The wood fire oven did give the pizzas a crisp edge, which we didn't mind, but overall the tastes of both pizzas was perfect. Add to that our cocktails and a beer, the dinner was spot on. Adult night like it should be. Dessert - yes, tiramisu for 2! Do it. The owner, Chef Owens was also present all night, and he was usually observed delivering orders to each table. We could tell he was there to keep up the pace, and flow of the kitchen. And to take care of his customers. Very much involved yet he let his staff do their job and make good impressions. We were pleased with Wood & Grain, and feel it adds a unique experience for Mt. Pleasant. We look forward to visiting again!

The food here is very good. I've only been once but plan on returning. To the people who are bashing this place because it's not "family friendly" you need to know adults like pizza too, and it's nice to have a place to go for pizza without having to deal with a bunch of kids. There's plenty other pizza restaurants for your kids. Kudos to W&G, I will be back.

I've never heard of a pizza kitchen AND raw bar together, I was intrigued. Went there on a Friday about 6:30esh, and there was a 20 minute wait-it is a small place. The hostess offered us a cocktail, we declined and waited outside; another sever came to take our drink order as well. I liked that though we were waiting, we didn't go unnoticed. The pizza was delicious, the drinks were pretty. We didn't order dessert this go around, but I will next time I go.

Super stoked to get some wood fire oven pizza and since the Don Holt was backed up, we skipped Evo for Wood & Grain. The restaurant looked really nice- interior appeared super cool and trendy. Lots of wood and candles. We had brought our son and were ready to eat, but it turns out that they are not family friendly, as they didn't have any high chairs. If this were a bar or a lounge, that would make sense, but a pizza shop? Seemed a bit off. The hostess suggested I go back home to get a clip-on-the-table high chair after we told her we spent 30 minutes getting here. Word to the wise, invest in some high chairs so the remaining 50% of the population of Charleston can eat here. Poor form, Wood &Grain.

Always a great meal. One of the best oyster selections in Mt P (and Charleston). And the pizza is delicious.
