Berkeley’s

Berkeley’s is the Charleston version of your favorite casual neighborhood restaurant that you go to for a really great lunch or dinner with friends. Located in a former service station in Hampton Park Terrace, they have an indoor/outdoor bar area with views of the kitchen (which is where you want to be), a large covered patio, and a small indoor dining space. 

Focus on the sandwiches, which make up most of their menu—the best one is their excellent cheesesteak with housemade cheese wiz, but you also can’t go wrong with anything involving a chicken cutlet. And though you’re probably here for something on a crusty roll, any salad or entrees like cavatappi with wild mushrooms and the hanger steak are always a solid bet when you want to split a couple things.
