The Best Burgers in Charleston, SC

Jeremy Feldman • October 27, 2020

If you know Charleston and you love burgers, then you're definitely in the right place! Here's a few of Lively Charleston's favorite burger places...


1. Sesame

With three locations in the Charleston area, Sesame delivers top-notch ingredients, creative options, weekly specials and you can even build your own burger. For the gluten-free crowd, they even have a burger in a bowl.



2. The Brick

Located smack dab in the middle of downtown, The Brick is the perfect place to watch the game, grab a beer, and of course, get your burger fix! Check out the Hokey Burger which features their house-made root beer barbecue sauce. If also you like your french fries seasoned, The Brick is definitely the spot for you.


3. Coleman Public House

Coleman Public House is one of our favorite places to grab a burger. The vibe is really comfortable, they have a great beer selection, and their food is on point. Our favorite there is the California Burger with smoked bacon, avocado, alfalfa sprouts–plus the Truffle and Parmesan fries are seriously no joke.

4. Poe's Tavern

If you're out on Sullivan's Island, you need to go check out Poe's Tavern. They have an unbelievable burger selection (all of which can actually be substituted for grilled chicken if that's what you prefer). We love the Hop Frog, but no matter what you're into, the real star of the show might actually be their amazing burger bun.


5. Little Jack's Tavern

Since opening in 2016, Little Jack's Tavern has been recognized by both Southern Living and Bon Appetit. The staple there is the Tavern Burger. Its simple and can be ordered as a single or a double. Best of all, it tastes like a true American classic.
