The Brown Dog at 225 Calhoun Street is an awesome place to grab a quick sandwhich for lunch or dinner if you're a student or in the working area. Some of my personal favorites for the sandwhiches are the Macintosh, Chipotle Chicken Pita, Fig N' Pig, and the Benton's Bacon Philly. As far as the burgers, i get the South Bound Burger which comes with 2 patties so that's amazing in itself. The salads are huge and very filling. I could go on and on. A hidden special in the menu is the Holy City Hibachi with chicken. It's very tasty and only $9.
The restaurant had a delightful ambiance with good music and extremely caring staff.
They offer quality beer and I love this place. So go try this out and it will not disappoint.
The food here is amazing, but not quite as amazing as their staff. We brought two dogs and seven people to their back patio. Suzanne and the rest of the staff could not have been more helpful, securing us a few tables on the patio, getting our dogs water, and telling us of the underground Prohibition tunnel.
There is something on the menu for everyone, from foodies to those that want something simple.
Good local place where both tourists and locals visit. I had the French Onion Grilled Cheese and ate it while walking around town. While this restaurant was PACKED, service wasn’t too slow at all. The food was good and it was worth the wait.
This is a small restaurant in downtown Charleston on Broad Street. There are two locations downtown and one at Folly Beach – not sure if there are more but these are the ones we saw. The inside is small and quirky with lots of unique decorations. Reminded me of an old soda shop. There is inside and outside seating. The service was good even though it was busy on a late Thursday afternoon. They have a small beer menu but there are enough choices to find something to like. The menu has eclectic items (short rib grilled cheese) and old standbys (Reuben). I ordered the salmon, watermelon and feta salad with pomegranate mint dressing. I was hesitant to order salmon in a (mostly) sandwich shop but it was cooked perfectly. The whole salad was quite good. My spouse ordered the fried green tomato & pimiento cheese BLT. He devoured it and said between hasty bites how good it tasted. It’s pretty obvious why this place is so popular.

This is an adorable, quaint place! Very eclectic decor with classic Charleston charm. Best She crab soup I’ve had! Great waitstaff! It is definitely a hidden gem!!
Love this place visit every time we come to Charleston. Great sandwiches and kid friendly. Yummy hot dogs. Beer and wine. Outside patio. Must go.
What a pleasant little place. We travel with our dog and look for places that will allow us to have her with us. The Brown Dog Deli fits this to a "T". The food is very good and the staff exceptional. I highly recommend this place even you are not traveling with your pets.
I absolutely love this place. I went for the first time, last week, while I was in Charleston for the day. It took me forever to decide what I wanted, the menu is large (not too large, but large enough to make you indecisive) and everything appealed to me. Not one thing looked bad. I got the black bean patty in the jalepeño cheddar wrap and it was delicious. The restaurant is also visually appealing, lots of cool artwork.
Was in town for a few days and wanted to try something new downtown Charleston. Decided to hop into this unique looking place. Splashed with color and decked to the ceiling with old vinyl. They have a open kitchen so you can watch the cook craft your sandwich. They also have seating outside and a nice little bar offering local or craft beers. one of us got the Chipotle Chicken Salad which was large and loaded with toppings. The Chipotle dressing was great and is very spicy. The other got the tofu melt which will satisfy satisfy any veggie head. We also got the Hawaiian Salmon Burger which had a large piece of fish and was very good. I got the Big Mac which is a short rib sandwich with mac and cheese on it, this is one great sammie and has a nice sweetness with the Cheerwine BBQ sauce. The potato salad is very good too. The only drawback is the sandwiches are expensive for having no sides come with it. If you want a great sandwich or salad in Charleston, give this place a shot!
In a town of $$$$ restaurants, Brown Dog is a vacation for your cc. Excellent hot dogs (chili cheese and Chicago are my favs), wraps and deli sandwiches.

Our first time eating here & it was awesome! Food was hot & great flavor! Waitress was friendly & efficient! We will be back for more!
I had the pig & fig& my husband had the Mr. R B's BBQ. (I think that's what it was called)
The Pig N Fig sandwich at Brown Dog Deli is pulled pork, fig-rosemary preserves, Granny Smith apples, apple-wood smoked bacon, and cheddar cheese on a panini-pressed local french baguette. The fruit flavors mixed really well with the pork, and having everything pressed together in a hot sandwich made this really delicious. I got mine to go, and it held up really well.
I had a great experience at Brown Dog Deli in Charleston, SC. The place is cozy and charming, with a friendly staff and a diverse menu. The first time we went, I ordered the Big Mac sandwich, which was a delicious twist on the classic burger. It was juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend Brown Dog Deli to anyone looking for a tasty and casual meal in Charleston.
So delicious! I’m vegetarian and try to eat vegan, if possible. I had the vegetarian chicken sandwich and it’s the best I’ve ever had. My pup also enjoyed a delicious side of turkey. Perfect service. The sweet gal taking my order was super helpful. It’s rare, these days, to have a five star experience in all aspects. Much appreciated. Will return when I’m back in Charleston.
The food and atmosphere here is great. Tons of things on the wall that you can reminisce and tell your kids all about them! I had the chicken of the sea sandwich and it was delicious! Will definitely be back here again.
I got the Apple Butter Jeans & it was delicious. Service was friendly. Food came out quick and there was plenty of seating. Parking was difficult, but I found a spot on the street a few blocks away.
The wife and I went here for lunch the other day. First when you walk in it's very nostalgic. There's an old arcade machine, hot wheels on the wall, action figures. Super cool. For a drink I got a cherry vanilla pop thing and it was delicious. I ordered the devil wears burrata and the wife got the apple butter jeans. They were both super delicious! I would absolutely go back again! The only reason it wasn't a 5 star experience is because we showed up an hour and a half before they closed bc we didn't wanna be jerks and show up within the last hour. Well as we were taking our time with the menu and enjoying the decor, the waitress came up to us and told us they were closing in 10 minutes. They were nice enough to let us stay and eat, but there hours have not been updated online and it wasn't a nice surprise to discover.
We had Chipotle Chicken pita, folly crunch wrap, chili cheese dog, 3 bags of chips and 3 bottles of coke. Food was great! Had to order take out since no available seats, but I took pictures of every wall while waiting! From Garbage pail cards to Atari games decorating door ways to retro board games on tables to play, it was almost sensory overload. Menu is large, hope we have to visit again while in town!!
My wife and I made this our last stop on the trip right before we went to the airport. It seemed like there was going to be a wait, but they turn the tables over pretty quickly so we didn't have to wait long. The hostess was great. Our server, Christian, was excellent. My wife and I both had the French dip and couldn't have been happier. I'd really love to try more of their sandwiches next time. What a great experience.
This place was amazing. The food was so good and I was not disappointed at all. The place was extremely packed, but they move pretty fast! I highly recommend the Southwest Cobb Salad and the buffalo wrapped with the flaming Doritos ❤️❤️❤️
Great location. Great service. Great food. We had the grilled cheese and a salmon burger. Both were excellent. What else can you ask for…?
I ordered their chic feel ay sandwich and it was delicious. They also had wonderful coffee drinks. The atmosphere is cool and board/video themed. I loved all of the dog decor too.
