We completely enjoyed our experience at Burwell’s Stone Fire Grill! The food was delicious and our server was fantastic! The atmosphere is amazing, and yes, it could be a bit loud. However, it didn’t affect our experience at all:)

Our waiter, Eric (I hope I got it right — he’s been there for 10 years) was fantastic. He was very helpful with recommendations and his service was attentive without being annoying. Shared the shrimp and grits — which deserve the award the restaurant won — and fried green tomatoes. Entree was crab cakes, which were delicious. Portions were ample. Nice wine selection. Chill vibe.

We ordered from the ala carte menu. Everything from the service to the food was exceptional. The prime beef tenderloin was so good it just may have ruined ordering steak/beef from anywhere else! Highly recommend, only thing average was the cocktails

    There are many…MANY choices of places to eat in Charleston. Hands-down, amen fish and raw bar have been a perennial favorite for us. Outstanding quality oysters, great atmosphere and drinks with easy walking access. Always worth the visit and always worth the return.
