Luv a good dive bar. Very clean so don't let the dive part worry you. It's more simple and cool, and that's much needed on Marion Square. Solid food and reasonably priced drinks and food with an attentive bar tender...yes you have to go to the bar for service, but the bar tender took care of everyone well. Lots of history and a pool table to boot. If you want a solid local spot where you won't go broke, stop on in soon.

Hey Chucktown, The Pirate Hunter is back with another 5-star review for Big Gun Burger Bar, The White Duke. This ol’ Gunner loves Guns n Burgers, so let’s embark on another flavorful experience! From the laid-back vibe to the freedom of choosing your spot, this place has the charm to steal any burger enthusiast’s heart. Located on Calhoun Street, across from Francois Marion Square, the central spot adds a touch of adventure, though snagging a parking spot might require a bit of luck. Once inside, the ordering-at-the-bar concept and the option to sit anywhere make the experience uniquely relaxed. Now, let’s talk about the stars of the show – the burgers. The White Duke is a standout, boasting bold flavors and a perfectly cooked patties that’s a true delight. And it’s not just about the burgers; the diverse beer selection will complement the meal beautifully, catering to craft beer aficionados and casual drinkers alike. But the adventure doesn’t stop there. The pork tacos are a delightful surprise, adding variety to the menu. The onion rings are nearly perfect, and the fries, seasoned “Old Bay” style, provide a savory crunch that’s hard to resist. Beyond the delectable menu, the staff’s friendly and attentive service enhances the overall experience. Despite any parking challenges, Big Gun Burger Bar emerges as a must-visit gem in Chucktown, offering a delightful combination of great food, vast beer selections, and a laid-back atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or a traveler exploring Charleston, this spot is a culinary adventure waiting to be savored inside a hidden gem. 2.3M Views on my Google Food Blog so far & continuing to impact great restaurants!

Great atmosphere. Marketed as a dive bar. Sat at the bar and Keith took great care of us. Food was prepared accurate, in a timely manner, and everything arrived at proper temperatures.

The best part of this restaurant is the food. Everything was DELICIOUS. All was well seasoned and fresh. There isn't that much space. And that's the only area where there needs to be improvement. Those that work there are so accommodating and friendly. They make up for the lack of space. Would come again - because the food was so good.

Best vegan burger I’ve ever had! I don’t eat exclusively vegan and I had been craving a burger but once I read this on the menu I just knew I wanted it. It filled all my burger needs. The crispy kale was like fries on a burger(but better- so perfectly crispy and salty) and the avocado like a healthier version of cheese with this amazing burnt bun and a FAT veggie burger. So many veg burgers are thin but this one made me feel like I wasn’t missing out on anything and in fact it was better than any meat burger I’ve had lately. Without all the bloating and nastiness I sometimes feel after eating meat. Highly recommend to meat eater and vegans alike.

As a foodie who's had the pleasure to experience dive bars across 38 different states - this place is fantastic. And the burger is top 10 I've had ever.

It was a small place, but the food was good. The bartender was busy so it took a little while to get our food but all was well. If you're looking for a good burger and fry this is the place to go.

A nice quiet place to get a good dinner. I haven't done much walking around town, but this was great and I plan on coming again. You order at the bar and then sit, which is a unique experience for me. I personally didn't make any edits to my meal, but I did hear the couple next to me make some requests and they were very accommodating and patient with the mods
