Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in James Island

The food and experience at Church and Union is one of a kind. Our waiter, Kyle, was an incredible host as he guided us through courses of delicious food and drinks. Be weary of a later reservation as the restaurant has a live DJ starting around 10pm. Overall, a must go to while traveling through Charleston, SC!

Our server Chris was absolutely amazing. My girlfriend often request hot/warm water at restaurants. At restaurants that’s more catered towards westerner, they never refill unless asked for. Not Chris. Chris was attentive all evening even though he was busy with what seemed like every other table. Every time my girlfriend finished her cup of hot water, Chris immediately brought out another one. Never once at a “western restaurant” has this happened in my life. Chris made this experience unforgettable, and we’re truly thankful for the service.

We had an amazing meal! I had the supper juicy and crispy fried chicken and collard greens that were absolutely scrumptious. I also had macaroni and cheese but while it was good it was also pretty typical standard macaroni and cheese. My husband had meatloaf and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and he said it was also delicious. He tried my fried chicken and greens and said he did prefer that meal over his. That just shows how absolutely amazing their fried chicken and collard greens are! Definitely cannot go wrong with that meal!!!

Dinner was great! Mocktails & Cocktails out of this world. And hands down the pizza is a must! Meatballs & roasted potatos are perfect sides. Server was great!

What a wonderful dinner. We absolutely loved our sever, he was attentive, funny and had the prefect balance of interaction. The ambience of the restaurant was top notch, intimate, but still fun. All of our food was exceptionally good. We would highly recommend The Establishment.
