Daniel Island Grille

Good place for a quick drink. Steer clear on Fridays after 6ish if you don't want to have to listen to terrible music. They have these awful musicians come in and play the same awful Dave Matthews band covers with bongos so loud you can't hear anyone, even yourself talking.

Working on Daniel Island I can tell you that the lunch and happy hour selections on the island are very limited; DIG certainly fills this void with delicious sports bar food for lunch and stiff drinks at happy hour.

I've tried a few items for lunch at DIG and my favorite is the cheese steak sandwich; by far one of the best and biggest cheese steaks I've had in Charleston. A couple of other good items I've had here include hummus (very good and big), club sandwich, turkey avocado wrap, Hammering Hank Burger (perfect hangover cure with the sunny side up egg on top), and the handcut fries here are the best. But along with the good food is some dishes I would not recommend such as quesadilla, cheese sticks, and potato skins; none of which were that great. But everything else I've tried here has been great.

Service here is usually really great. A little slow at times, but that's the way it is on the island; you just have to learn to wait sometimes. The staff has been nothing but friendly here; and I usually have some pretty good conversations with the bartenders.

I love coming to DIG and would have given them 5 stars, but after a visit last night for happy hour I was little disappointed. My wife ordered a couple of Grey Goose and cranberry drinks which I knew would be a little expensive; then we got the bill and noticed that not only is it $8 for a Grey Goose drink, but also they charge $.50 for the cranberry juice in there. Who the hell charges for mixer? DIG is my first experience of anyone charging for mixer, not even airport bars do that. Well, even though this disappointed me a little I won't let it stop me from coming here for lunch and happy hour, but the wife is going to have start drinking beer.

I loved my visit to Daniel Island Grille. I sat at the bar on a busy NFL Sunday and there was a lot of energy. It's awesome that they have TVs outside. Most sports bars have you cooped up inside, but here I was able to get the best of both worlds.

The nachos were good and really good portion. The beers were cheap and kept flowing.

I'll definitely be back here.
