Great food. This is the second time my husband and I have eaten here. Both times my husband had the duck club and I've had the brisket sandwich and today I had the low country Cuban with a side order of the homemade pickles. Food comes out quickly we arrived around 1130 am on a Saturday and were able to sit right down. Waitresses are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Charleston and looking for something a little different.

This place definitely had a lot of hype around it so we wanted to check it out for sure. We got there right after 4 so luckily we hit their happy hour which runs mon-fri and actually has some awesome deals. We got some chicken wings and they were pretty awesome. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but as for the famous duck sandwich I thought it was ok but not the religious experience everyone had described it as. I thought the extra huge piece of bread to make it a club was a bit excessive and that being said, it didn't suck but I wouldn't order it again. The duck fat fries seemed pretty undercooked because we expected then to be a bit more crispy. We also got the thanksgiving leftovers sandwich which was nothing special along with the gazpacho that lacked any real flavor. I'd come back for the wings cause they were great and I still really want to try the Lucky #1.

Duck club beats anything you will ever eat. And the duck fat fries were beyond awesome! It is a long wait to get seated and gps will take you through a sketchy part of town but over all would go back to that place! Bathrooms are not up to par but it's a bar.. and take you a sharpy you can sign table walls whatever you want!

This is my post work spot. I love the patio. Bartenders remember your name n has great music...live or otherwise. I like that late nights it's not too crowded. It's got that dive bar feel and some good literature graffiti in the bathroom. Fellow bar goers are nice and friendly. I normally get the grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoes.

The duck sandwich was the best sandwich i have ever had. Divey spot located in a sketchy area. The duck far fries were great and the dipping sauce for them was really good. I also tried the brisket sandwich and it was amazing as well. This was our first and last stop when we went to Charleston in Dec 2012 and will be those two things when we return.

Pretty big letdown. Only went here because we saw it on DDD. It definitely qualifies as a dive. The bar seemed ok but the food was just bad, and that was the reason we went. It was so greasy that the TOP of my bun was greasy. A little grease goes a long way guys. Only didn't give it 1 star cuz I'm reserving that for somewhere that makes me ill.

Thanks to a suggestion from a reader on Yelp! I found my newest gem, the Tattooed Moose. I've never been to the Moose but people I know swear by it. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Charleston the Tattooed Moose is a restaurant you don't want to miss. When you walk in, you can't help but notice the huge stuffed moose head mounted on the wall. The bartender explained that the moose was actually killed and stuffed by a family and when finished, they realized that it wouldn't fit in the house so they sold it on ebay. Thankfully it's found a good home. The restaurant is small, and with outdoor tables has seating for about 50+ people. We sat at the bar and smiled at the "moose memorabilia" that was not to be outdone by the "stuffed squirrels". This lodge-like- feel-of-a-place offers a small, but interesting menu. The five "snacks" include items such as Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries and a Basket O' Corn Dogs. They offer two salads; The Santa Fe, which can be ordered with a scoop of Smoked Chicken Salad on it, or the small side salad. The Specialty Sandwiches are served with the House Made Garlicky Dill and Spicy Sweet Green Tomato Pickles that were incredible. You can get a side of Duck Fat Fries ($1.75) or BBQ Baked Beans or Cilantro-Lime Slaw for $1.00. The sandwiches were unique in their own right. Mike's Famous "Duck Club" led the list. Where have you ever seen a club sandwich with Duck Confit or a Smoked Chicken Salad BLT? Many, if not all of the items were inviting and it was difficult to decide. After an abysmal attempt at a Reuben by the King Street Grille the other day I ordered the Reuben to see if my Reuben 'jones' could be satisfied. Prior to this, I thought that Graze's (Mt. Pleasant) version of a Reuben was quite possibly one of the best I had ever eaten. But move over Graze, there is a new Moose in town. The Reuben had melt in your mouth corned beef and was topped with cheddar cheese (my request), sauerkraut and 1,000 island dressing. It was served on perfectly toasted rye bread and was piping hot. My husband ordered the Lucky #1 sandwich. The sandwich had BBQ pork belly, a thinly sliced pickle, tomato, cheese, crispy fried onions, cilantro and wasabi aioli all served on a toasted hoagie roll. We also added a side of Cilantro-Lime Slaw at the last minute. My husband felt lucky ordering the Lucky #1 a concoction of flavors that he couldn't stop eating. The cilantro-lime slaw lacked flavor but we barely had room for it anyway. The Tattooed Moose is a true gem and should definitely be on your list of places to try!

Great food and neighborhood atmosphere! A good local place with wonderful service. The duck fat fries and the duck club are two reasons to come. Diners Drive Ins and Dives (Guy) had it right when he said this place is great.

I got the thanksgiving dinner sandwich and fries with duck fat. They also make their own dipping sauce for the fries. Total party in my mouth. The restaurant had a lot of character and the overall vibe was fairly laid back. The food combinations are unique; my foodie friend got the triple stack duck sandwich and it didn't disappoint. We sat in the outdoor patio area right next to a herb bed full of chocolate mint and Rosemary. The chefs and bartenders incorporate home grown herbs in their sandwiches and drinks which I think is an absolutely wonderful use of space and resources. This is probably one of the best places to eat in Charleston. Absolutely loved it!

We went to Tattooed Moose because we saw it on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This is a funny dive on Morrison Drive near the 26. Because it was only 6:00 PM, there was a table for two available. It is not a large joint - about 15 tables and a bar inside and about 8 tables outside. There are moose heads on the wall and graffiti (encouraged) on the walls and tables. The servers were super attentive and prompt. For dinner, DH ordered the Lucky #1 Sub with Duck Fat Fries. The sub was a grilled roll with a slice of barbeque braised pork belly (done in-house) that is topped with homemade kimchi, tomatoes, cucumbers, crispy onions, cilantro, wasabi mayo, and sweet red chili sauce. Wowza! The grilled roll was crunchy on the outside but still soft on the inside. The pork belly was lean and UBER tender; some of the best that I have ever had. The veggies on top provided a sweet counter to the spicy chili sauce and mayo as well as an excellent crunch. He loved the duck fat fries and the garlic aioli as well. I ordered the Smoked Chicken Salad BLT, which was house smoked chicken that was shredded and tossed with mayo and topped with peppered bacon, romaine, and green and red tomatoes on whole wheat bread. The smokiness really came through on the chicken because it was not overdressed, and it was very moist. The bacon was crisp and went really well with the smoky salad, all of which was brought home with the spicy green tomato and the sweet red tomatoes. The whole wheat bread was very fresh - I would not be surprised if they bake it in house. I ordered Cilantro Lime Slaw on the side, which was shredded cabbage tossed with cilantro in a sweet lime vinaigrette. I would have added some mustard to the dressing, but it was very good. I just love mustard in my slaw. By the time dinner was finished, we were stuffed! I am so happy that we came here - the food AND the service are AWESOME. If you have to pick one sandwich, make sure that you pick the Lucky #1. The pork belly is some of the best that I have ever had.

The Duck Club Sandwich is the single greatest sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. I cannot even write any other words to describe how tasty it is and how great a texture it has. The fries were also great, but were totally overshadowed by the sandwich. The happy hour specials are great - cheap beer and drinks! The service friendly and fast and the decor is divey yet suitable for all comers. The location is a bit out of the way and if walking from downtown Charleston (about a 40 minute walk) it can lead you through some undesirable areas of the city. Take a taxi or rent a car.

BRING BACK THE THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER SANDWICH. Seriously, one of the best sandwiches in Charleston. I won't go back until it's returned to the menu.

Like everyone else has mentioned, the Duck Club totally rocks and is absolutely scrumtrulescent. This is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, thank you awesome Hawaiian bread for making it happen. Also of note were the awesome blue cheese and garlic fries and the chocolate bread pudding. This place has a great beer list so come hungry, come thirsty, and be prepared to stay for awhile.

If you are into food and local dive's this place is amazing. Only a couple miles from historic district. Tons of good beer selections. Great for a nice low key meal. The Duck and Club with some Garlic and Blue Cheese fries...you will be happy.

This place has a great beer list and very welcoming staff. Three TVs for watching sports (two were on NASCAR, even though it was the first weekend of college football, which says something about where we were), several seats at the bar, and more diner-style tables for dinner, as well as a really nice patio. The menu makes the food sound better than it is. Really, the food here is not very good. But go in with low expectations, and you'll be perfectly satisfied. We were ravenous, having skipped lunch and me, being pregnant, and my husband, being a guy who's accustomed to eating three square meals a day, found the food to hit the spot. We split the Santa Fe salad, which had stale tortilla strips on top, but decent roasted black beans and corn on top. The roasted garlic and avocado dressing was really quite delicious. The pickled green tomatoes here are good, but seemed a bit out of place on this particular salad. I opted for grilled cheese plus tomato. I'm a vegetarian, and it definitely had bacon stuck to the crust. But I try very hard to be low maintenance at dinners out, so I just peeled off the offending bits and ate the rest. The cheese was, you know, like Kraft singles, nothing special, but perfectly acceptable when in starving pregnant lady mode. My husband had a burger, which he said was not spectacular, but certainly filled him up. If you're crunk already, the quality of the food will not matter a whit, so don't sweat it. We opted for seasonal brews here---yes, I'm pregnant, and allowed myself one pint a day while on this three-day vacation. Judge me if you like, but I'll think you're pretty silly; besides, I don't eat McDonald's or anything horrible like that, when most pregnant women do ... surely that's more harmful than a craft beer that has only four all-natural ingredients?---and the selection is pretty excellent. My husband went with Terrapin Pumpkinfest (soooo good!), which was on tap, and I had my old favorite, Paulaner Oktoberfest MÃ¤rzen, in a bottle. I really dig this place. Not a huge fan of taxidermy in general, but I wasn't offended by the decor. It's the shtick here, and I embraced it. And two Bowie songs while I we were here, so huge freaking bonus. Again, the friendly staff make a huge difference. We felt perfectly welcome, which goes a long way. I would definitely go back.

Finally made it to the TM. It was, as expected, a dive with very good food. Had the duck club (couldn't resist) with duck fat fries. Duck club was very very good as were the fries. Solid beer selection. Tried the Wells Bananna Bread Ale- loved it. TM is one of those places where it was hard to decide what sammy to get. Settled with the club and would not look back.

we are moving here and I think I will be a regular. service was a little slow, but my chicken salad sandwich should have a different name because no chicken sala tastes that good. my wife got a duck sandwich that was even better. wonderful beers. I had a banana beer and wife had a pecan beer. and it was very reasonably priced.

So good I almost drank the gravy had to finish every last drop. Had the chicken salad with big thick bacon and the pickled green tomatoes were amazingly sweet. Must check this place out, good craft brew selection too

Duck sandwich is a must. Sometimes the fries come out burnt. Doesn't matter because you should be here for the sandwich anyway.

Visited SC Dec 2012. Yelp led me here. We went here for happy hour. The prices are great. They had a happy hour menu of $2 duck fat fries, $2 corn dogs, $.50 wings, and $2 beers. This is great value for a snack. Also, DDD has been here. The garlic aioli sauce that came with the fries was yummy.

I'm so lucky to have this place close to work and home! I have never eaten inside but I do take out a lot! Always friendly and fast service and I love their Cuban! I always make sure to get an extra side of their pickled green tomatoes! Delish!!

I had the $13.50 Duck Club sandwich, and was presented with 3 extremely large (but soft and delicious) slices of bread, a few very small pieces of duck, and the other toppings. I understand that duck is expensive, but it is a $13.50 sandwich with no sides after all... The taste of the garlic aioli and other toppings (cheese, bacon, tomato, etc.) completely overpowered the taste of the duck due to the minuscule amount and was completely unsatisfying. I felt like I ate a pretty good BLT. The garlic fries were pretty awesome, though, and everything else looked delicious (and by other accounts, was delicious), so I'll have to give it another shot with another dish next time.

I rate this 5 stars for a dive bar. That means I am looking for good food at a reasonable price. No need to impress me with the decor. The Tattooed Moose offered more than that. Their food was amazing. I ordered the sandwich with the duck.(Sorry, can't remember the name of it.) It was one of the best sandwiches I ever ate. If we were living in Charleston, my boyfriend and I would be here regularly.

Went back with friends from out of town and they were very impressed. Burger is to die for, one of the best I've ever had. My wife had the grill cheese with tomatoes and loved it. This place might not have furniture that matches, but you can't match the taste of their menu items anywhere in Charleston. Ed C

Hipsters have infested this place. There were some strange fashion choices walking around, as well as a table of pretentious, loud, and sometimes vulgar hipsters next to us. They were talking about how weird, strange, and over rated David Bowie was. Really? Take a a look in the mirror... Which you obviously don't have. Food was decent enough, had the duck fries and duck club, but the price was a bit steep. $40 for my wife and I, all we drank was water. Service was veeeeerrrrryyyyy sllllllooooooow. Don't get me wrong, this is probably a great place if you are into the hipster thing, but I guess I'm getting older now and moving on. I'd probably be more into it 5-6 years ago. The same group runs Voodoo, which I prefer. I guess cause it's more layed back. Tattooed Moose is definitely a place to go check out though.

If you need a sandwich, head here!!! Duck club with some duck fat fries on the side are just about a great meal as you will get in a bar anywhere. This is a dive bar with great beer, food, and unique service. This place gets my two rare thumbs!!! Can't wait until I am in Charleston again. Want to explore but will save some room for the Duck Club!

My fiance and his family came here for his birthday. It's a good joint to get a burger at but don't expect to be "wowed" . Don't get me wrong, It's good for the price and we enjoyed it, but the Ruben I ordered wasn't as good as the Arby's Ruben (which is saying a lot). The crust was impossible to eat, I had too pull it off because it was too hard, but the roast beef had a great flavor to it and their dipping sauce was really tasty. My fiance ordered the Moose Burger and It was exceptional! It was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. I definitely recommend their burgers. Their duck fries are great too. Unfortunately they are VERY under staffed. We were there on a Saturday and there was one hostess, two waiter/waitresses and one bar tender. (our waitress kept having to go to the bar to help the one bar tender that was there, so we only saw her about 3 times at our table during the time that we were there.) The atmosphere was nice and I loved the graffiti on the tables and in the bathroom! They play good music and It's at a reasonable volume too. You can still talk without shouting and It sticks with the theme of the place. The Tattooed Moose was nice. I like it. :) (just don't order the Ruben)

A Triple D hang out and worth the visit. A great beer selection and I'd recommend the Duck club with duck fries to go with all the good beer.

Rick H.

Reading these reviews we ordered the wrong thing. While the duck club is just the thing DDD loves it was way too bready and too much mayo (or some other sauce) and the corndog app was cold on the inside. Definitely going to give another try. The staff was great and sincerely nice, just need to try some of the rest of the menu.

DUCK CLUB ROCKS! It was the perfect meal to eat after a long hard bridge run in the morning. Probably one of the most unique sandwich experiences I ever had - the bread was toasted, but still soft and sweet in the middle and the duck combined with the bacon, lettuce, and tomato were heaven in my mouth. It also helped that the weather was perfect and this place as a killer patio deck area. We didn't manage to snag an outside table, but being next to the window was just as good. We got to drink up the atmosphere (of which this place had a lot of). Definitely had a cozy, "man-cave" type feel with all the stuffed heads on the walls. If you are an animal lover, I'd recommend that you find a table outside. I was OK, until I saw the ducklings on the half-wall near the restrooms. I am hoping they were fake, but I don't know how one would hunt those or how they kept the bodies intact to stuff them... Anyways, back to the food... the fries were just ok. I know they were advertised as cooked in duck fat, but I couldn't really make out a distinct flavor or not. Don't get me wrong, they were good fries... but missing something that they promised. Tattooed Moose also has a pretty good selection of beers. One disappointment was no local brews offered. No biggie, there were plenty of other unique area brews to choose from. Next time I find myself in Charleston, I will definitely make another stop here.

this place is amazing but lets back up for a minute. a co-worker suggested this place for after work beer and food. you immediately feel the divey vibe as soon as you walk in. walls and tables all have entertaining graffiti written on them, deer heads and of course a moose head are mounted on the walls. the place is small but that just adds to the vibe. the menu is extensive if you are looking for a beer. i felt ashamed ordering just a standard light beer. the food on the menu does not match the decor, very eclectic for bar food. i felt this would be a perfect place for "diners drive ins and dive" not knowing they had already been there. my first visit i played it safe and got the moose burger with cheese and bacon (homemade!) with a side of duck fries (fries cooked in duck fat). both were very tasty. fries came a garlic aioli sauce, nice touch. enjoyed the meal so much i went back 2 more time within a week. second night i tried the famous " duck club". it lived up to all the hype. what a great sandwich. my first time trying duck and it was great. very filling. the next night i went with the happy hour specials, 50 cent wings and a basket of corn dogs. dogs came with a dipping sauce that was like a horseradish/mustard. opened the sinuses right up. again, another home run. they offer 2 deserts i have tried both and i have to say the cinnamon bread pudding is incredible. the portion is way to much for one person after eating a meal, which is a good thing. it made for a magical breakfast the next morning. so i have been there 3 times in the last week (each night they had a wait line for tables! get there early) and have not had a bad item from the menu yet. i plan on visiting them again next week and look forward to trying the thanksgiving leftover sandwich. the moose is 3 for 3 right now and i am looking grand slam soon. love the moose!!! if you are in charleston, this place is a must!

He said: Staff friendly for a dive bar, which this is. Cool decor. Parking seems bad, but you are allowed to park in the ILA lot across the street. Music a touch loud and comes from a hip rock playlist, so you dont know any songs unless you are a hip rocker - I liked it anyhow. Place seems clean enough. Got the duck club with duck fat fries. Restroom only moderately clean: highly graffiti-covered like the rest of the place. Doesn't bother me, but your kids might ask you interesting questions if you send them in. Food was worth a little more than 4 stars. Duck fat fries well executed, crisp, tasty, properly seasoned. Duck club excellent, meaty, juicy, flavorful, ducky. Had some moose burger, it was very good (not insane good, but very good), cooked perfectly, juicy, flavorful. The homemade pickles were a real treat. Do try the pickled green tomato - it's good!!! Drink refills came regularly - no Coke Zero. By the way, the place is only a short easy drive off the interstate. Will he back here! She said: OK...parking was a bit crazy, but the food made it worth the trouble. The duck fat fries were yummy! And my burger was very good. The homemade pickles were really good, too. I would definitely go back!

Didn't eat here, but came for beers at the recommendation of the Vikings over at the Beer Exchange. Great little spot in a fantastic location; the decor is modeled in early f***, meaning it's dark and taverny and wonderfully divey, and there's dolla bills ya'll on every surface of the place. Nice beer selection, with a good blend of the dark and heavies (Lagunitas, Epic, Vertical) and some light Belgians and locals. The servers are clever and have a great attitude, even when you're a little hazy and it's 2 am and you're clearly a tourist. Nicely done, guys.

Off the beaten path dive bar. Always great beers on tap that they rotate regularly. For brunch, have the Monte Cristo. Any other time, the duck club with a side of duck fat fries is the way to go.

This was the one place I had on the must try list for my trip to Charleston. Almost did not make it due to cab issues. Go to hell yellow cab. I had no help other then reviews to pick what I wanted. I went for the duck fat cooked fries, with blue cheese and roasted garlic bulb. It was fantastic! The bulb of garlic was ready to be squeezed out onto the entire platter, which I could not finish. Crisp and loaded with blue cheese I was happy. Other things I took a bite of: Shipmates duck sammie with bacon was super good. Bad for the heart but makes me drool just thinking about it.Other friend got the hot wings which were nice and hot. Too hot for him, so I ate a few more of his. Shots of Jamison did me for the next day though. Place was cool, decent folks and nice staff. I will go back if I ever return to Charleston!

I went to this place first thing when I got to Charleston because it just looked like my kind of place. I was dead right. The outside has great seating as long as it's not cold and the inside is warm and inviting with well placed beer paraphernalia on the walls. It's not a dive bar but it's not anywhere near upscale, it's something in between... a cheers with hella more personality. They had awesome old music that was fun to listen to but not loud and obtrusive. Ordered a craft beer that was super tasty and for food, the duck fat fries and Mike's famous duck club. At first I wasn't thrilled about the fries, they were the stringy kind and covered in grease - but the flavor was great and the more I put them down my gullet the more I couldn't stop. Let me tell you, the sandwich was probably one of the best ones I've ever had. A bear would not be able to get me to put this sandwich down. You probably should be aware that it's a beast of a sandwich, I actually split it with my beer mate because well it's HUGE. I wish wish wish this place was near Orlando but I'll go back to Charleston to spend more time here.

Read all the great reviews and wanted to check it out for lunch. Monday lunch was packed. Ordered the 1/2 lb hamburger with cheddar cheese and a side of duck fat fries. Everything was as promised. Arguably the best burger in Charleston. Duck fat fries were sublime. Will definitely be back sometime for happy hour.

Just got back from Charleston SC and has the pleasure of eating at the Tattooed Moose. (Thanks DDD/GUY) The four of us sat at the bar and had a blast. The Beer list was impressive as were the beer prices. The menu was also varied and the prices excellent. However the point of this review is to discuss the DUCK CLUB. I ordered this as did my brother in law. It would almost insult this sandwhch to call it the best I've ever eaten. Words cannot describe how insanely delicious this thing was. Had the side of duck fries (which were fantastic) and honestly this qualifies as one of the better meals I've eaten. Period. My sister had the Rueben and my wife had the pulled pork. Both were very good. Get to this place asap. Superior service, fun staff and a definite can't miss if you are on a trip to Charleston. I'd recomend stopping in on your way into town, its really the perfect way to start a trip.

Tattoeed Moose is a surprisingly fun bar with lots of board games like dirty (truth or dare) Jenga. I forget if they have TVs to show sports games, but they probably do. Their Duck Club sandwich was really good! Ask for the Duck Fat Fries too.

Arguably the best buffalo wings in town (.50 during happy hour), this place is the best place for cheap bar food and great beers. Great tap selection, cheap and greasy food, not a much better combination. The service was at best meh, but I guess that's what to expect of a dive bar. Located just North of central downtown, this place is definitely worth the drive. Didn't get to try out the full menu, so will definitely be heading back here soon!

Tattooed Moose is one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. My absolute favorite thing at the Moose is the Roasted Garlic and Bleu Cheese fries. The fries at the Moose are hand cut and fried in duck fat, which makes them extra delicious. Then they top those delicious fries with melted blue cheese sauce and a whole bulb of confit garlic. It's decadent, and delicious, but definitely plan on hitting the gym afterward, for like 6 hours or so. Obviously, you have to get the Duck Club. It's divine. In the words of my friend Josh, "on a scale of 1 to 5, it's a TWENTY FIVE!" Yum, yum, yum. They also serve each of their sandwiches with their house made garlicky dill & spicy sweet green tomato pickles, which are really yummy. Thanksgiving "Leftovers" Sammy, is probably my second favorite sandwich at the Moose. Fresh sliced turkey breast, cranberry mayo, a whole cup of gravy for dipping.... mmmm so good. I also recommend the smoked chicken BLT. It's very, very good. Lots of people think chicken salad is a healthy sandwich alternative, but not at the Moose. If you're looking for healthy, you should probably just pick a different restaurant. They also have a bacon bleu cheese slaw that's super tasty. It had a really creamy consistency (rather than vinegary as you sometimes see), and you could really taste the bleu cheese, which I really liked. It also tasted kind of smoky, like bacon, which we really enjoyed. The only thing that sucks about the moose is that it gets packed FAST. Good luck finding a seat during peak hours. Happy Hour! $2 PBR Tallboys. Great deal.

When my brother-in-law suggested we go to this restaurant I was wondering what was he thinking when he said the name. I was truly surprised. Great location - great food. 1. Ambiance: it is a little hole in the wall. This place is great so expect a little wait if you go on the weekend. It is not huge but a decent size. It is a bar. 2. Food: the food came out really quick and the temperature was great. These folks did not let the food sir under a lamp at all. The food was tasty and the portion sizes were great. We had a hard time finishing the food. 3. Service: did not have to ask for a refill. The order was accurate. The staff was very friendly. The hostess was a little harsh - she seemed to be frazzled by the waive of people coming in. Other than that definitely worth a shot.

Went the Tattoo Moose with my parents when they came to town because my dad saw it on diner drive in and dives . It is def a dive bar, with names and sayings written in sharpie on everything ! I did enjoy how they had local brews on tap. I had the duck sandwich and the duck was good, but it had to much bread and super greasy . The fries are also cooked in duck fat and it seemed like they poured grease on top when served (extremely greasy/ enough to share ). It was worth a try , but I would not go back. If you enjoy greasy bar food then this is worth a trip.

This place was was an amazing surprise. It was the first ever place I ate in Charleston, and damn was it a good one. We arrived and sat outside on the deck which was covered in shade. It was relaxing and nice, and our order was placed in a timely manner. The thanksgiving "leftovers" sammy was absolutely delicious. The bread was buttery and had a perfect crunch, the turkey was moist and flavorful, and the gravy was the perfect temperature for dipping. The super melty grilled cheese also received rave reviews from my group, offering a perfectly crunchy bread with buttery crust and super melty cheese (how fitting!) The duck fat fries are just as good as everyone says they are! The food could have come out a little bit warmer, but it was overall a good experience. If you want a good, satisfying sandwich, stop by the tattooed moose.

2 of us came in on a Sunday afternoon. About half of the seats were full , and still somehow the service was absolutely terrible. We got seated as soon as we walked in, but nobody else came to talk to us. About 10 minutes after sitting down, one of the waitresses dropped off some silverware but didn't say a word to us. After another 5 minutes with no drink order or even simple greeting, we decided to leave. We wouldn't have been as upset if we didn't notice that everyone around us was getting prompt service, and when I made eye contact with any of the waitresses, they looked away. Too bad, I was looking forward to try wait everyone has been raving over. I won't be trying again, nor will I recommend Tattoed Moose to anyone.

It's a dive in the best way possible. If I weren't from out of town, I'd be here all the time. Great happy hour specials like $2 fries, 50 cent wings, cheap domestic beer ($2), etc. Ordered the famous duck confit sandwich and I couldn't put it down...it totally lived up to it's name. Server was friendly and had good beer knowledge. After spending 5 days in Charleston, I asked my bf what his favorite meal was and this was it (duck sandwich). It's not too far from downtown so if you're visiting don't hesitate to make it here at least for happy hour or lunch.

Dont make the mistake of coming here and not getting the Duck Club - wow, just wow. Having lived in Charleston so long Im embarrassed to say this is my first time at the Tattooed Moose but I can guarantee it wont be the last. The sandwich was amazing and we had a great meal complete with $6 High Life pitchers while sitting on the patio. One of my friends did have the PB and banana french toast and was not that impressed, "not enough PB flavor" she said. If youre reading this, stop right now and go enjoy one of the best sandwiches in Charleston.

I dig the tattoed moose. I came here with some buddies for some food to start a bachelor weekend and the place ended up being a perfect fit for the start of the night. The must-try dish here is the duck club with the duck fat french fries. Its delicious. The service is consistently slow every time I go here, but its not a big deal. If you're hanging out for a long time in the evening playing a rousing game of giant jenga, then there is no rush.

I've been here a few times, and I am really glad to see a more vegetarian-friendly menu! I got the grilled cheese with tomato and a cup of tomato soup, because I just wasn't in the mood for a portobello mushroom sandwich (the new vegetarian option is to sub in a mushroom for the meat on any of their usual sandwiches.) The grilled cheese was good enough, but the soup was absolutely amazing. It was well seasoned, not too smoky, and the texture was really nice. Perfect for a rainy afternoon. My parents shared the Duck Club and the Lucky #1 and left the restaurant arguing about whose sandwich was better, which is pretty high praise. They have a great beer selection here too, and any bar/restaurant with Big Buck Hunter is bound to win me over.

Food here is REALLY GOOD. The duck fat fries with duck gravy.. Well that's all I'm gonna say about that! Had the braised pork belly sandwich and may have dipped my sandwich in the duck gravy that was left. My wife had the Cuban which she like but was just average to me. Awesome selection of craft beer and although we didn't have room for dessert, the couple next to us had the bread pudding and it was the size of my head. . You won't leave hungry from this place!

Mike C.

Nice small business. The food here is delicious, staff is nice, and the drink special are on point. With most of the items cooked in duck fat how can you go wrong with that. This is a bar so just keep that in mind if you plan on bringing little ones. There is a nice lay back atmosphere I would definitely eat here again.

This will be short and sweet. Both the Duck Club and the Lucky #1 Sub are frickin' delicious. I preferred the duck, as banh mi isn't my forte. However, it still had a 'wow' factor from me. It was packed full of flavour. The duck fat fries were decent. I think I'm more in love with the name of the fries than the actual taste though. They seem a little harder and thinner than what I'd expect them to be. Still edible! The pickles (not spicy) and green tomatoes (spicy) were AWESOME. They're a must. All in all, I wish I lived here so I could come back for seconds and thirds. Such is life!

My colleague and I had lunch there and it was fantastic! We had the Lucky sub, Duck club with some duck fat fries, great location near the port for us and sure helpful staff.

2 words: Duck club! I had heard about this place from my friend, who saw it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and I knew I just had to come! We ordered the duck club ($13.50) with a side of soup (smoky tomato). Both were delicious! One bite of the duck club and I was like, "oh my gosh, this is the best duck sandwich I have EVER had in my life!" Its fatty goodness was oh-so-delicious... can't have it regularly for sure but you must try it at least once!!! Wish I could find something as awesome here in LA... ah well, just another excuse to come visit Charleston! :) The soup was very good too! Not too creamy and very hearty.

Ok, here's the thing. Once you have been on DDD, and your place becomes the 'in' place, you have to step up to the plate! You need to handle the customers that arrive, a little bit better than you did, if at all. What I mean is, the person who cleans the tables, cannot be the Hostess! People need to be seated, names taken, and wait times explained. I know you're there for the food, but you have to have a clean place also. You cannot keep people waiting for someone to come to the table. You staff has to be neat and clean. A tee-shirt with "Local whore" written on it, just does not get it anymore. The food is presented in baskets with paper in it so that any grease and oils do not leak out. There is writing all over the walls. I guess it makes the place different, but just make sure that kids who can read do not do so. I rate a place by asking myself would I bring back friends, the answer here is no. When you become famous, clean up your act. It's not just food that make people come back. FrankG

Exceptional bar food. Really fun place with a good beer selection. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table but the pinball machine made the time go by much faster. A must try is the duck sandwich. I literally gained 2 pounds on the scale the next day and it was absolutely worth it.

I prefer this as a late-night stop on Friday/Saturday. After a late-night of bar-hopping, we cabbed it up to Tattooed Moose. Totally worth the short trip from Upper King. This is the epitome of a Dive (which I love). The Duck Club and Fries, as others have said -- can't go wrong with those picks. Insane flavors!

Mike M.

Small bar/restaurant. My wife and I went there for lunch last Saturday. Parking was a little strange, but no big deal. I had the duck club and the blue cheese fries, both of which were great. The fries were super rich. My wife had the burger, and as picky as she is she really enjoyed it. Looking forward to eating there again soon.

Dinner Apr 21 (at about 10pm) A happening, trendy and hipster dive bar in a not so great area of Charleston. I actually saw a girl wearing leather pants, 2 guys wearing bow ties, one guy wearing a white suite with sandals, and another guy that looked exactly like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. All the while drinking PBR and playing Yahtzee at the table. Now onto the food..... Love the menu. Everything is uniquely made and different. From the mayo-aioli for the homemade fries, to the made to order sandwiches --- all very, very good and at wickedly reasonable prices...basket of fries and 2 sandwiches were $21. Beef Brisket sandwich was best I had ever had - sorry Texans! Lucky #1 sandwich was bursting with flavors ( that's plural)...BUT be warned- that wasabi mayo will light your mouth, nose and stomach up! That meal is NOT for the faint of heart!

The Duck Club was fantastic. Fries with the garlic dipping sauce were good except I love salt on fries and these were too salty. I did not have to consider picking up the salt shaker. I almost sent them back. Wings were fine, not my style of wings. The atmosphere is awesome. I will go back next visit and stick with duck club and ask for unsalted fries.

Great Charleston restaurant located off the beaten path. We have been looking forward to visiting this restaurant after we saw it in Drive Ins, Dinners and Dives. We got there at 11:30 on. Saturday when they opened and thank goodness we did. After 30 minutes there was a wait. I had the "Lucky #1" Sub which is a BBQ Braised Pork Belly, Seared on the Grill, Topped with House Made Kimchi, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Crispy Onions, Cilantro, Wasabi Mayo, & Sweet Red Chili Sauce, All on a Roll! It was out of site. Nancy had the "Moose" Burger which was a 1/2 Pound Pan Fried Beef Patty, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, & Pickles topped with Garlic Aioli & Special Sauce on a Toasted Kaiser Bun! It was Moosetastic!!! We split an order of the duck fat fries. Will surely return on our next trip to Charleston.

SERIOUSLY!!! Amazing! Food was amazing, we all ordered the famous duck sandwich, and holy moly it was delish!!! Service was great! Beers were great!!! Prices are reasonable too especially for the amount of food you get!! Hope to eat here at least once every time we come to charleston!!!!

Kevin S.

I haven't had a sandwich here that was less than amazing. I've been here about 5 times, and I'll be coming back. Probably my favorite place in the Charleston area. If it's your first time, get the duck confit sandwich, you won't be disappointed.

Jessica S.

Dive bar on the far north end where Meeting St meets Morrison Drive. It's definitely off the beaten path, but that's part of why it's so great. You can write on the tables with Sharpies. Duck fat fries are amazing. Keep in mind, this is a dive bar---you are getting dive bar food. Don't go here thinking you're going to get a 5 star meal. It's greasy bar food, at its best!

Seriously, your kimchi is to die for. You serve food on the late night. Everything is basically cooked with duck fat. And you have an amazing beer list. I love you.

Torn about this place, the food is absolutely amazing but the atmosphere is not my style. It is a very small place, and the AC vents drip from condensation, so be mindful where you set your drinks. I get an "unsanitary" vibe from the surrounding lot based on sight and stench. Not handicap friendly, nor do I think overweight people would even be able to maneuver into the restrooms. I do suggest the brunch garbage plate and the Bloody Mary.

On the way back from a grueling work-related morning, a small group of us stopped in to the Tattooed Moose at the request of the "leader" of our group. Parking was a bit of a pain, but well worth the three circles around the block that it took to find a space (of course, that could also be a driver issue. . .) The duck-fat fries, obviously, were DELICIOUS. But the sandwiches. . .ohhhh. . .the sandwiches. . .I'll be dreaming of my "Thanksgiving Leftover" sandwich for days to come. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry-mayo and this ridiculously delicious gravy for dipping. I was pretty much mopping that stuff up with my sandwich. . .and I DON'T EVEN LIKE GRAVY. I HATE gravy, as a matter of general fact. But this stuff. . .oh. . .I want a small bowl of it included with any meal I have from this day forward. I wonder if they deliver? Anyway, my friends/co-workers ordered the Duck Club and the Brisket; each with a side of fries. The portions were generous and the food was just. . .perfection. At least, I THINK it was. In all honesty, I didn't get to taste the brisket, since it was GONE before we all asked each other how each person's meal was. I can't wait to go back for a happy hour to order from what looked like an extensive wine list. The decor in the restaurant is. . .you know. . ."hipster quirky" I guess. The tables have graffitti all over them, there's taxidermied animals and a game. It's also very small, so I can see how there could be a bit of a wait if you were there during a rush (we were not). Also, I wouldn't suggest this place for a first date. There isn't a woman on this planet who could appear "lady-like" while eating a meal here. I was licking my fingers, had food all over my face, gravy . . .everywhere. I was like a starved dog. Save it for a third or fourth date. . .you know, the kind of place where you take a date when you REALLY want to see an honest version of them. The food is so delicious, no one will be able to be anything but their most authentic, chow-hounding self. Go, go, go! It's worth it.

The duck far fries with the bleu cheese were great, but the salad was awful- it tasted like nothing. I definitely should have ordered the duck sandwich like some people have suggested.

Seth H.

Great food and good beer! What more could you want? This place was featured on Guy Fieri's DDD's, and for good reason. The Duck Club is a "must try" as is the Cuban, and the Reuben. Don't skip the "Duck Fat fries", I was a little disappointed in the Brisket Sandwich, which was to say it was "great" instead of "awesome". I eat here regularly, and strongly recommend to anyone looking for a good meal and some drinks.

The duck confit sandwich, yum yum yum, awesome late night food, gravy could be thicker

Visited the in-laws and went on a DDD tour, this was our first stop. Duck fat fries were great, just the blue cheese topping was a little much. I got the duck club and my wife got the pork belly sandwich and we both voted the pork belly the winner. Don't get me wrong both very good sandwiches but the pork belly won the war. Can't wait to visit again!

Cool vibe, nice people, not good food. This is one of those places I would hand out with friends and drink and watch football, or just drink. The server was nice but the food was fair at best. I love dive bars, and this one is cool, the food just isn't worth stopping for. I will go back but it won't be to eat.

Connie L.

FIRST stop during our trip to charleston!:] famous duck sandwich= first couple bites were AMAZING.. but i did feel like it had maybe a little too much bread lucky #1= good, but not that good after you have already had a bite of the duck sandwich lol fries = ADDICTING!

Andrew W.

Mmm... duck fat fries smothered in bleu cheese, scallions and a whole bulb of roasted garlic. That's a very tasty combination, but expect to have that pungent combination on your breath for the rest of the day. Washed it down with a bottle of delicious German kolsch beer (most of their beers are bottled or canned... they have about 8 beers on tap). I might've stayed longer to try more of their food, but the service was HORRIBLE. Our waitress mostly ignored us and was slow to get our order in. We watched as people arrived at the three tables next to us and got their food before us. Then, we watched as our waitress checked on those tables to make sure they were doing alright, and decided to simply skip over our table. I guess a two-top table isn't nearly as appealing tip-wise as the four-top tables. Parking was limited, so plan on having to walk across the street to get there.

JimBob H.

So I'm not a duck fan, and I had low expectations but really wanted to try the Duck Club. The Duck Club is incredible and it's a huge sandwich. We had great service, good draft beer and excellent food. Only reason I wouldn't give it a 5th star is no air conditioning. You're in Charleston in June I don't want to sit in 90 degree heat while I eat lunch inside. That's what you get at a dive bar though.

Jared W.

After hearing incredible things about the duck fat club and duck fat fries here I really wanted to try Tattooed Moose. I was surprised after arriving about the atmosphere of the place..it's a dirty dive bar with around 7 tables and not at all what I was really expecting. This didn't bother me at all, however. The food was slightly disappointing, considering the duck club has been lauded by some as the "best sandwich ever". The duck confit and bacon combination is really good and so is the soft bread but everything else is pretty mundane. The sandwich didn't have a lot of duck meat or nice crispy bacon for being a triple decker which was disappointing. I was definitely not a fan of the duck fat fries like I expected to be either. They were soft, SUPER greasy and didn't taste any different from normal fries. The service at the bar was mediocre as well. The bartender was slow to refill my drink and not all that friendly, but the food did at least come out quickly. Overall I wound up disappointed in the food, service, and atmosphere from my high expectations and have to say that this place is just average. Definitely not worth the $18+ for a club and side of fries either.

Stacie B.

My family and I went here. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is bc of the seating. I wish it were bigger to accommodate better. It was so hot outside and we ended up sitting outside bc nothing was open inside. They had 1 umbrella on our side of the deck and if it were positioned better it would have covered more people. But the food was awesome. I got the Cuban sandwich and it was AMAZING! I cant wait to go back and have it again!
(4)
Yusef S.

Great location not to clustered with to much people great place for a drink and to meet new friends. Sat at the bar and my bartender recommended the moose burger wow what a burger special sauce and all the way is the best way to have it huge burger and the beer was flowing. Service was great very prompt great look inside they also have a outdoors section right upfront but go sit at the bar great people and u will be back!
(5)
Bixby D.

Food was very flavorful, duck and burger was a bit dry! Duck fat everywhere like Paula Dean's butter. We tried duck fat fries, the duck club, burger, chicken salad sandwich, corn dogs. Food tasted good and service was very friendly. "In the end" we all had bathroom issue. Little guy destroyed 4 diapers after that meal. Good to try. Go light. And you've been warned.

Jeremy K.

This place may have been on TV but that doesn't mean it's that good. I actually enjoy the food for the most part but the service is lack luster. On our last visit, after gave us our checks outside and then completely forgot about us. We scraped what cash we had together so we could pay our bill. Probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

Paige F.

Great happy hour! We came here on a trip to Charleston for a late lunch/early dinner and happy hour. The duck fat fries are awesome. We also had the corndogs and wings. Such an awesome deal during happy hour, you can't beat the price. The place is really cool inside, a dive bar with lots of character and a fun atmosphere.

Rebecca H.

Great food, yummy fries with aioli sauce, huge portions--come hungry. Only thing preventing 5 stars is that they're too small, they need to expand to hold more tables. Too tiny inside and a bit warm inside.

Tricia W.

Went for dinner with friends. Shared the duck club and the duck fat fries. Both very good. I agree with other Yelpers that this club might even be better if you leave out the extra layer of bread. I also tried the Brunswick stew, but I was not a fan. It was hard to find any chicken or pork in this. It was the consistency of the water that comes in canned tomatoes and had corn and I saw maybe 1 lima bean. They maybe should rename this canned tomatoes with corn. We shared the wings and they were very good as well. Stick with the duck in this joint or you may be quacking happily. Also tried the honeysuckle mule to drink. Strong on the ginger beer side, but it is worth a try if you aren't in the mood for beer.

We were visiting Charleston and heard from several people, this was the place to eat. We all ordered something different and passed the various plates around....the Cuban sandwich was phenomenal......the Duck Club Sandwich was heavenly, worth dying for and reincarnating to come back for another a different day !! We were only in Charleston for about a week, but we managed to come back for a 2nd duck club fix before leaving. It truly is an eclectic place, with people from all ages, we even had our grandchildren with us, they loved that they could graffiti the walls with their names. The wait staff was friendly, and helpful...and man were they packed with people !!!! Looking forward to our next Charleston adventure :-)

Eric S.

True to the other claims, the duck club might be the best sandwich I've ever had. If you think you don't like duck, you do now. Grab a beer and add some duck fat fries and you're golden. Been craving another visit all week.
(5)
Chris J.

The duck confit sandwich is a treat you must try! This place is more of a bar, but this food is good. The duck fat fries are good. Another great find from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. If you don't like loud music you will want to order your food to go.
(4)
Rick T.

You must try the duck club here it is by far my favorite thing on the menu next to the garlic and blue cheese fries that fried in duck fat I've heard but cannot verify this. This local dive gets away from the stuffy downtown restaurants you find all over the place packed with tourists. The decor is so cool in here and it's just one of those places where you can let loose and have a great time drinking some ales and enjoying ones self. The last time I was here I got free fist bump from the waitress using the Yelp check in on my phone. Parking can be a bitch here so be prepared for that, but that doesn't effect my five star rating on this dive !

The duck club was without a doubt the best sandwich I've ever had along a delicious Bloody Mary I can gladly say this is my new favorite restaurant in the holy city !

It's not often that I feel completely comfortable anywhere but my own bed. The Tattooed Moose came precariously close... I might need to live there. They don't stare at you when you walk in and choose where'd you'd like to sit. There are cute girls in fancy trench coats next to old guys who haven't looked in the mirror in a week. Old couples who look like regulars and newbies like me who definitely ordered what they were told to order by friends (duck club w/ duck fat fries, duh). There are funky glass acorn lamps, dim lighting (yes!), an awesome beer cooler, and music your cool friend listens to from every decade. There must be a taxidermist in the family, as well. I sank into my booth seat and stared at the endless graffiti and ordered a White Thai. I tend to go with familiar drinks in new bar settings. My boyfriend ordered a Bell's Best Brown, but they were out so he tried a Bad Penny by Big Boss Brewing. It was an awesome recommendation by our server. I wish I knew her name! She handled all the tables on the floor effortlessly - five at a time. We started with the meat and cheese sampler. It came on an red tray your grandma would have taken camping. The smoked pimento was ahhmazing as were the pickled green tomatoes and cucumbers. The pÃ¢tÃ© was great! I finished my beer and ordered a MegMosa. Homemade ginger beer and sparkling wine. Yum! Nic said it perfectly, "It's a very nice balance of flavors." We split the duck club and hardly finished it. So big! I was expecting a heavy sandwich, and was pleasantly surprised with light crispy-soft (jumbo shrimp?) bread and a perfect blend of toms, lettuce, and mayo. Oh and duck! I ate five fries (dunked in mayo) at a time. They were so good. We finished with the piping hot rum raisin bread. It was a cold rainy night, and dessert kept us warm enough until we reached the car. Next time I'll try to sit at the table near the window, the first booth to the left, or the bar. "Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends."

I went here after I was told that the food was delicious. The food was ok, it was extremely greasy which is fine if this is what you want. The restaurant was dusty..the walls, decorations and ceilings. I get that this is a "bar" type atmosphere but dust every now and then. The only shining light in this place was the duck fat fries...delicious. Our waitress was pleasant enough. Its just hard to enjoy food when the cleanliness is questionable and dust globs are hanging on items on the wall above your table.

Sky M.

Cool little dive in spot. Had the duck sandwich, hot pastrami sandwich, corn dogs, and garlic with blue cheese fries. I liked the atmosphere. A nice chill vibe to just relax. The service was good. My only complaints would be that the food was extra extra greasy. But that is what I expected. The duck sandwich was really good. Nice flavor. The pastrami was okay, but the duck was better. The fries were a little burnt but they were not bad. All in all, 3 stars out of 5. I would come here again on a casual day to eat and have a beer.

Best tip from a local was to try this place. The duck club sandwich was amazing. You have to try it. No wonder this place was on the food network. If you're ever in the area you should stop in and eat.

I had the duck sandwich and duck fries with the gravy. It was great!!!! The first of many from diners,drive-in and dives. I hope!!! My friends had wings and the Moose burger, it too was great! Staff were great and patient. Also you get Free high fives.

Mandy N.

Thursday night, late dinner. Walked right in, no wait...thank goodness because we were starving. I ordered the tattooed moose burger. Great...messy but great! I ate every bite. My daughter got the famous duck club (her 1st experience with duck). She was wanting chicken fingers (as always) but they don't have that on the menu. Anyway, she loved it! At every bite. My niece got the chicken salad Blt sandwich. Ate every bite...seeing a trend here? It's a dive but great food, not a traditional menu. Oh and don't forget the duck fat fries..yum! But skip the duck fat gravy...we didn't even eat that.

We arrived in Charleston at 12:30 a.m. famished, tired, and fearing we'd go hungry for the night. After moving to Virginia from New York, I had accepted the fact that NYC spoiled me and I'd be hard pressed to find decent grub past 10pm. So off we went, cruising the boulevard with half defeated eyes when we passed Tattooed Moose. At 12:30am, this place was as inviting as a dark cave in the middle of a spooky forest. Should we go in? What options did we have? Inside we ordered the Yelpers top 2 picks, the duck confit sandwich and duck fat fries and some staple classics like buffalo wings, corn dog, and grilled cheese. One bite of the duck confit sandwich and I instantly woke up. What was this combination that was mixing and tumbling around in my mouth...chewy, crispy, salty bacon, soft tender duck, crunchy tomato, creamy mayonnaise, buttery toast. A companion reached for the other half of the sandwich, I instinctively pulled my plate away, hovering over my sandwich in maternal protection. I may have muttered "get away" while softly growling under my breath. Not one of my best moments. I never understood why duck fat fries aren't being done in more restaurants. There really should be a culinary rule, if you fry your french fries in anything other than duck fat, you know nothing about love. Everything else we ordered were pretty decent, but sorry buffalo wings, the duck confit is quite the attention hogger. Overall, the decor is not for everyone, the casual service is not for everyone, but they make one heck of a sandwich and so Tattooed Moose, that makes you alright in my book.

I've been here many of times and would normally give it a full 5 stars, however we were waiting for a table while drinking at the bar and were told we had to move outside to wait (it was freezing!) and we were paying for drinks so I'm not sure why this was an issue. The food of course was on point. I got the grilled cheese with tomato and duck fat fries. This is one of the best places to go for a quick, casual meal. Going with more than 4 guests is tough because there aren't too many large tables available. I'll go back again and again, and cannot wait for the Johns Island location to open since it's 3 miles from home!

First time coming here and may I say it was a treat, the wait staff was very friendly and the environment is social and welcoming. I tried there signature duck sandwich and fries and never knew this is what I was missing out on. We'll definitely be sending friends here.

We tried Tattooed Moose with a group of friends tonight and it was pretty good. It's a dive bar that's a bit north of downtown, but convenient to everything because it's just off I-26. There is parking on the street and also in a lot across the street (I saw people park and walk over). The atmosphere is really divey here. The tables have writing all over them, the booths aren't super cushy and comfy, and there are TVs with games on and a moose head on the wall. It's a really fun place though, and they have a full bar with a beer club where you get your name on the wall if you drink 100 beers. One of my friends is well on his way. I eat relatively healthy, so I had the Santa Fe Salad (side portion) and a cup of tomato soup. No duck club or pork sandwich for me, but I really enjoyed my food! The tomato soup was really delicious on a cold rainy night- it was hot when it arrived, but also had a spicy kick to it. The salad was pretty good. It was only $4, and the dressing came on it, but it was good. My husband had the duck club, duck fat fries, and wings. A friend got the chocolate cinnamon bread pudding dessert, and while it was unlike any bread pudding I've seen (it was more like a rich bread with whipped topping on the side, not really a pudding at all), it was delicious! The only complaints we had were that the service wasn't really exceptional. I don't think anyone expects a great customer experience at a dive bar, though. Also, there was a leak in the roof and since it was rainy, some of the water was leaking onto my husband's seat and the patron next to us. Oops... We would definitely go back. I'd like to try the grilled cheese with a side of that tasty tomato soup!

Great place with some of the most unusual sandwich combinations in Charleston. Must try the Duck Club and the #1 Sub; absolutely delicious. Make sure you order the duck fat fries and wash it all down with a selection from their beer menu.

Parking can be an adventure. Best time to come is around 1:30. Lunch crowd just leaving & more tables & parking Duck blt is everything that is hyped about Super grill cheese is very good as well. Love the crispy sourdough bread Duck fat blue cheese garlic fries are just ok. They are a little to soggy for me Grilled chicken salad sandwich is also great Give this place a try for sure

Tattooed Moose is the kind of place that will make no apologies for what they are - and they really don't need to! And you'll get that impression pretty much immediately, given their graffiti'd walls, tables, chairs, bar, everything. You can expect a limited menu filled with creatively designed sandwiches that will certainly please your heart the only way a clogged artery can. Fat is flavor! so don't be afraid of French fries deep fried in duck fat, buttery toasted sandwiches and pork belly when you make the decision to come here. I will say, you can get a really tasty salad too! just be sure to add a scoop of the smoked chicken salad... I recently stopped in on Saturday right around 4pm and was very pleased to see they extend happy hour to Saturdays as well. That's a big bonus for me, because I love happy hour. You'll hear a lot of people puffing up the duck club as the way to go, and I don't want to steer you away from that but my personal favorite is the smoked chicken salad BLT. Another favorite of mine is a bowl of their home made pickles. Go here to chow down, drink craft beer (or cheap beer; there should never be an in-between) and then go take a nap. Also, they serve food late as well (I think 1pm) which really adds up to make this a local favorite. You won't be sorry.

My new wife and I drove into Charleston from Asheville, NC for a four day foodcentric tour of the city. We're not big eaters so trying to eat three meals a day can be a chore, and we tried to eat small breakfasts so as to be able to eat lunch. Halfway through the vacation, while we'd been to plenty of good places to eat, we'd yet to be blown away by anything. As a general guide we used a mix of Yelp ratings, a Charleston food magazine in our hotel room, and the word of a few locals. So one day we planned to go to 167 Raw for what I'd read and heard was a fantastic lobster roll. Unfortunately when we arrived, this tiny place was packed and on a 40 minute wait, and frankly we were just too hungry for that. Well as luck would have it, on the way to 167 we passed this little hole in the wall with a full parking lot, and I commented to my wife, wow, the Tattooed Moose is very busy! She said she'd heard of that from the show with Guy Fieri, so maybe we should try it. So we drive back down a couple miles to try it out. It was maybe 1 pm, just past peak lunch hour. The place was full, but not yet on a wait. We did end up having to wait about 20 minutes until two seats at the bar opened up, and in that time we grilled two locals, and frequent customers of the Moose, on what was good. Both said they'd tried every sandwich and nothing was bad. Finally we get to order. We get a couple of alcoholic beverages because after all, we're in a dive bar, AND on vacation, so keep your judgments to yourself... I order the Thanksgiving sandwich (turkey, stuffing, cranberry, pickles), she has a chicken salad sandwich. Now for those who've been, I know what you're thinking, but because I already knew the duck club would be a slam dunk, I wanted to try something else, and then come in for the club later on. Well let me tell you, we were both blown away by these seemingly simple sandwiches. These people know precisely what makes a killer sandwich. Unreal, I will return every time I come to Charleston. In fact, while I am someone who never likes to return to a restaurant in a new city until I've tried every other option, I was ready to go back the very next day. Decor wise, keep your expectations where they belong. This is a dive bar. period. Get here quick, and enjoy the hell out of it. I promise you will not be disappointed.

This place is always great. One of our favorite spots to go in charleston. The blue cheese duck fat fries are so good. Mouth watering just thinking about them. Nom mom. The service is always friendly and the food comes out pretty fast even when the place is packed.

That duck sandwich is to die for! So good! Funky fun vibe and a cool place to hang out. There are hunting trophies on the wall and some of them are even dressed up. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

Wow. First of all, I've eaten my way through most of the Guy Fieri restaurants in South Carolina during my week here. I hate the guy, he's a homophobe, and drives me nuts. It just so happens, however, that many of the restaurants he's been to happen to be some of the best eats in Charleston...or anywhere... Tattooed Moose is a dive...and a diner...and delicious. We stopped in for some late night grub and had a great time. The duck confit sandwich is perhaps one of the best things I have ever eaten. Unctuous and well seasoned duck between crispy-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside griddled bread, bacon, and a bunch of other delicious stuff. Just fantastic. We also had the "Thanksgiving Leftovers" sandwich. Turkey, stuffing, all wrapped in bread and served with gravy on the side. Not as good as the duck club, but the gravy was sure fantastic and I can see why this sandwich would be a hit. Overall, I highly recommend a stop by the Tattooed Moose, despite the fact that Guy Fieri was also there...

Love the Duck Club, my girlfriend and I go every other week. It its easy to get to and a great atmosphere. I brought my family here and recommend it to everyone I know. We are making another trip very soon! AWESOME

Love this place. The duck club is amazing. The duck fat fries with cheese and garlic are even more amazing. The atmosphere is great to just hang out with friends or coworkers. It's eclectically decorated. There's board games to play. Water is served out of a cooler. They have pony beer. They have local beer. They have a beer list that goes on forever. It's a pretty awesome dive bar.. Even if it is out of the way and parking is an adventure.

Nicole B.

Love everything on the menu but my all time faves are the blue cheese duck fat fries (to die for) and the chicken salad sandwich. I get both and then ask for a side of the sauce that comes with the regular duck fat fries. You honestly can't go wrong with anything.

Shawn B.

Saw this place off of Diner's Drive Inn's and Dives and was not disappointed...Had the Duck Club Sandwich featured on the show and it was great! There was literally a line at the door before it opened if that tells you anything. I also loved the decor

Ken M.

Anything here with Duck in it is awesome! We've been here for lunch and the duck sandwich is excellent. We've also done the Sunday brunch and it was to die for. Great food and great beer selection! The staff is always pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an awesome meal and experience.

Kelly K.

Tried the duck club, lucky sub, and duck fat fries. They have a solid beer selection and service is great. Duck club: lots of flavor. The bacon and duck are very fatty, so ask for extra napkins. My only gripe is the bread: it soaked up the grease from the meat and fell apart as soon as you pick it up. Lucky sub: very fresh sandwich with lots of veggies. Not a fan of the sauce wasabi mayo - they should switch it out with a sriracha mayo instead. Duck fat fries: a basket is plenty for the table. The aioli is good, but I really needed something acidic to cut through the grease. Would give it another shot next time I'm in town.

Tiffany S.

Food was not as good as I expected and the service was pretty average. Most people have said the opposite about the staff so maybe we just were unlucky. Food: Bread on the duck club looked toasted but was really soft which I didn't like. Also the duck fat fries are not the way I prefer, they weren't very crunchy. The duck gravy was really bland too. Drinks: Had only 2 wines to choose from so ordered a mimosa as I am not a beer drinker - was the worst of my life.... tasted like beer! Also, my husband wanted wheat beer, they had run out of all 3! Only good thing I could say about it is that the ambience and music were fine. In summary, nothing special. I wouldn't go back.

Get the duck club!!!! Fun atmosphere with great food and on ton of good quality beer! They have beer from tons of local breweries in Charleston. Highly recommend eating here tons of fun and the employees are really nice as well.

I've only been here once, but would go back in a heartbeat. I was with my extended family--a party of 9. It was a pretty busy Saturday afternoon, but the staff was very nice about working out a table for us. We had a drink while we waited. My brother and brother-in-law had duck club sandwich before and said it was incredible so we all ordered it, plus a few baskets of the duck fat fries. Every person in our group loved that damn sandwich. And we've been talking about it for the past 24 hours. They also have a great selection of beers! What more could you want? The place is super casual with a bar vibe. Not ideal for large groups. Some seating outside. I didn't use the bathroom, but i heard it's pretty small. When i go again my big dilemma will be whether or not to try something else on the menu. I'd have a hard time not getting the duck club again.

Moving on to a great dive bar with really cool food choices and regular bar food. Happy hour 4-7pm. They use Duck Fat for frying! Say no more :) they had my elusive Oculto beer! Cool hang out with rock and roll 80s music. Super nice service and get your free fist pump!

What a cool joint. I mean the place exudes cool cool cool. Its on the north end of downtown in an area that is coming along. There is street parking but I also saw some folks park in some sort of lot across the street. For those of us that need reading glasses, the place is dark - which adds to the coolness - but tough to read menu even with my 2.0 readers! The beer options are awesome. I had 3 different beers that were all awesome: Terrapin Liquid Bliss Chocolate and Peanut Butter Porter. It was really good. Holy City Pluff Mud Porter Nitro - awesome as well Holy City Follicle Brown It was the Craft Beer TRIFECTA of the Gods. For an app, we ordered the duck fat fries. I read a review that said they were plain and recommended getting the Roasted Garlic and Bleu Cheese version - so we did... DO NOT! Too much of the topping made them overwhelming in flavor. So, we ordered a second basket without the topping and it was much better. Still nowhere near as good as the "to die for" duck fat fries at Stock & Barrel in Knoxville. I got the Tattooed Moose Burger with cheese and bacon. It was very good. I won't say excellent but VERY good. All in all, an excellent joint and I will be back!

This place was amazing. Went to meet friends and family for dinner. They accommodated a large group quickly. We had a blast. The atmosphere was fun, wait staff was very friendly. We ordered about everything and baskets of fries. All was very quick and delicious. No complaints. We went there to visit and we had plenty of time to do that. Once the band came in at 9:00 pm not so quiet so we left. The band was good, just too much sound for our group. I would recommend this to anyone.

Pamela D.

This was one of our local stops in Charleston where we met some wonderful people and took crazy pickle-back shots. Casual in atmosphere, but serious in pour the huge moose head that sits above you fits perfectly. This place almos a candle-lit, woodsy bar kind of feel. It may not be packed with people when you get there, but that what I liked about it. It was a great way to end the night with those two more drinks you probably shouldn't have and call it a night. I didn't even know they served food; next time I'll have to try it out!
(3)
Karen S.

Perfect joint! Burgers are huge. But try the duck club. Messy in a good way. You'll want to come back. Just don't forget the duck fat fries!! Trust me. Skip the fancy restaurant. Come here twice. A must in charleston.

Sue P.

Triple-love this place! We're from NC, but always make a point to eat here when we're vacationing. The duck club is worth all the hype, and the fries with roasted garlic and blue cheese is better than I can possibly describe! Great food every time!!
(5)
Sharon W.

I saw other reviews and wanted to try the Duck Club sandwich. OMG it was as good as everyone raved about. We also had duck fries with blue cheese. My husband does not like blue cheese but he loved this. So good! I will be back next time I visit Charleston!

Janie P.

Everyone said we needed to check this place out, and most especially, the Duck Club. It was delicious, and certainly lived up to it's reputation! That, along what I think were the best hot wings I've ever had and a bucket of ice cold Miller Pony's, made for a fun, laid-back dinner. The space is small, and doesn't have much room to wait for a table, but certainly worth the wait! The rustic, earthy atmosphere was amusing, as the walls are covered with random collectibles, and most prominently displayed, of course, the MOOSE! Great food and upbeat atmosphere from the waitstaff. I have already recommended several folks to go for a fun meal or to hang out with friends.

Shayla S.

Super disappointed in this place. It came recommended but the draft beer is 5 beers including miller high life.. Doesn't count. Lots of can beers if that's your thing. Duck fat fries are a joke. I've been looking forward to trying duck fat fries cause they are kind of a big deal. So I've had them and they just seem to be over cooked French fries. I don't taste a difference but friends say it's the location. Bar staff semi friendly. Can't say I'd recommend for someone passing through.

I am sad that it took me 4 months of living in Charleston to finally try the Tattooed Moose! The Tattooed Moose is a bit further up out of the hustle and bustle of downtown, but is definitely worth the drive for lunch and or some late night mischief. We came in for a late lunch on a Saturday and sat at the bar. All 3 bartenders/servers were awesome, I would go back again just for them. We decided to split the Duck Club (great decision) and a basket of duck fat fries. The Duck Club was delicious, but I highly recommend splitting with someone, unless you are just craving a tummy ache the rest of the day. The fries were awesome - I loved the garlic aioli dipping sauce. Great selection of beers on tap and in the can/bottle, left me very impressed. My Holy City Pilsner was $7.50, which surprised me, but I think that has more to do with the price of Holy City than the Moose's prices. There is patio here which looks like a great spot to hit if you are with a bit of a larger group. However, like I said - the bartenders here are hilarious, so I recommend popping a squat at the bar!

Elizabeth M.

Food was just ok, staff was rushing around and somewhat rude. Not overly busy. Felt dirty, parking lot really smelly. Trash all over the back of the place where you park. Have been wanting to come for awhile, pretty dissapointed. Had the chicken salad sandwich and fries. Grease overload.
(2)
Michelle K.

First time here and absolutely my worst experience. I came here with my guy friend and we had Jen as our bartender. She didn't even acknowledge me when asking what we wanted to drink. I ordered anyway and my friend asked for a minute to look it over. 20 minutes go by and she still never asked him what he wanted. Every time we were empty, she was too busy taking shots. I'm not opposed to having fun at work, if it makes you work better, or engage your customers. One of the servers was nice enough to ask us what we wanted to eat and if we would like a refill on our beers. Jen also chose to serve the employees drinks first, instead of waiting on customers at the bar. If it weren't for the delicious duck club sandwich, I wouldn't have even gave this a rating, but that was the only good part of my experience.

Krystle B.

I recommend getting there prior to opening. We went on Sunday about 15 min prior to opening and there was already a line of 15-20 long. I knew this had to be a must after seeing everyone waiting. I ordered the garbage plate and the megmosa. I am all about all things ginger and this mimosas base was ginger beer, it was delicious! The garbage plate was fantastic; duck fat fries, gravy, meat, veggies, and eggs. My other half got the duck club and the manmosa. I was hesitant on trying his duck club, once I did I ended up eating half of it. Staff was friendly and we were seated promptly once the doors opened. Our server was on her game. Decor was different and a great conversation piece. I highly recommend!

The duck fat fries were like crack. Really, very addicting especially with the garlic aioli. The dining environment is very interesting, with both indoor and outdoor options. A great place to grab a snack, watch a football game, and hangout with friends. The dining experience is worth a try!
(4)
Kati W.

Phenomenal duck! I love, love, love this restaurant. The duck fat fries are to die for and the duck club is absolutely delicious. I gave it a 4 because it is generally incredibly sticky inside. I always feel a bit dirty touching the seats, but there is no amount of grease that could stop me from eating there. The wait around lunchtime can e incredibly long and hot since there isn't anywhere to wait, so try to get there early! Parking can be hard, but again just try to get there around 11:30 for lunch and you will be fine! This place is well worth the visit!

Glenn J.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Duck Club and Duck fat fries are absolutely fantastic. The Buffalo wings were also very good. You need to come try this at least once.

I had heard around town that this was a must stop and I wasn't disappointed in the least, the bar service, wonderful selection of beers and a local rye whiskey were the highlights of our visit. I did order their much ballyhooed duck fat fries but should have gotten them with blue cheese and garlic as the stand alone version didn't compare to those in Montreal. This was my first introduction to Holy City Brewers and their on tap Pilsner which I thought was out standing, so good in fact, I decided that a stop at brewery would be a welcome addition to our tour of the city. Who would have guessed that this wonderful S-Bum Bar(Yankee term for Dive Bar) would also be serving a Cologne style Kolsch in a can, one of the few top fermented lagers brewed anywhere. But I was to be further astounded at their beer selection when a young lady sitting next to my son recommended the Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout by Terrapin Beer Co. First off, I'm a Lager, Pilsner, Helles beer guy not a Fu-Fu beer or ale drinker, I want my citrus and spice notes in my food, my peanut butter and chocolate belong in my desserts but damn that was one of the best tasting Stouts I have had it was just wonderful. Next my son and I tried Virgil Kaine Robber Baron Rye Whiskey to close out our stay at the Moose and here again we were transported by a very well distilled excellent tasting local Charleston Rye Whiskey. Make no mistake this rye whiskey rivals some of the best known imports in that category.

The duck sandwich was truly awesome, the best sandwich I've had. I will go back and I will take friends with me. The atmosphere is is casual and friendly. A real fun place to have a meal and the menu is full of food you won't found elsewhere. Worth the time to stop by.

I love this place and the way they cooked the duck. But I have concerns about the calories so that I will suggest you to there for the brunch,have some salad for dinner and take exercise before you go to sleep.

Tattooed Moose remains one of my favorite spots for an indulgent, "screw calories, I had a tough day" happy hour. An order or Roasted Garlic Blue Cheese Duck Fat Fries and a cold craft beer will cure just about anything you got. The atmosphere of the place is always packed with energy and people craving something satisfying. Their sandwich selection is also pretty heavenly with options like the Lucky #1 Sub with pork belly and kimchi, a killer Triple Decker Duck Club and my personal favorite anytime of year- the Thanksgiving Sammy served with all the trimmings (turkey, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce & gravy for dipping)! Their Happy Hour every Monday-Saturday from 4-7 p.m. is home to some great specials like $0.50 wings, $2 duck fat fries, $2.50 corn dogs and $2 15 oz. PBR's. If you are looking for a laid-back, casual spot to grab a beer and apps with friends, Tattooed Moose is an excellent choice. Just be sure and leave the healthy eating for another day.

I had their garlic and duck fat fried fries and they were delicious. I also had to duck sandwich it and it was super crispy super good the sauce the bread I would definitely recommend it if you have never had duck before
(5)
Kyleen K.

The duck club is easily the best sandwich in the city, although a close second is the pate melt. They're both creative and unexpected but undeniably delicious. The thanksgiving leftover sandwich is pretty delicious as well, and all pair perfectly with the duck fat fries. Add good beer on tap, fun decor and pleasant service, and you have an excellent meal experience just off the beaten path.

Grace T.

I honestly was a bit underwhelmed with Tattooed Moose. I'd heard amazing things, but just didn't feel as if the raves matched up with the food that was served (as I'm starting to realize happens a lot with Charleston restaurants). I tried the duck fat fries and they weren't crispy or flavorful. I'm not sure if it was a bad batch or something. I can't even remember the rest of my order-- it was that forgettable! Probably won't be going back.
(2)
Anna H.

Super lunch today. I had the chicken salad blt without the bread. It was fantastic! There was enough yummy dressing to coat the lettuce and tomatoes but not so overpowering that it took the taste from the pickled green tomatoes. The duck fries were great side items and the Bloody Mary was one of the best I've had. I will be back soon Mr. Moose!
(5)
John P.

Place was awesome! The atmosphere was relaxing and chill, totally enjoyable for mine and my wife's last meal in Charleston. The food options were strange to my wife, but as soon as she tried the duck club..... she was hooked! We both agree it is a must try!

Molly B.

I really enjoy coming here- especially on a nice day and sitting outside. I have been here a number of times for a drink and I went a couple years ago with my parents and it was delicious. When I went with my parents I remember getting the Thanksgiving Leftover sandwich and oh. my. god. It is so good! I went recently to meet up with some friends after moving to grab a beer and some snacks. My boyfriend and I split the wings. They only come in one sauce which is BBQ but hey- I don't mind. They were very tasty. We also split the fries which everyone raves about and for a very good reason. I could not stop eating them even after I was totally full. Also, their brunch is very good as well. I always go for the garbage plate (dont be scared of the name! It's phenomenal and also perfect for that Sunday morning hangover that I know we all get.) If you're looking for a refreshing tall boy PBR and some good bar food- you should definitely stop by!

Audrey B.

The Duck Club. It's said to be the best sandwich ever made because it IS the best sandwich EVER made! I am a super skeptic when it comes to the "best" anything, but holy expletive! It's so true. My husband and I ate here twice during our last visit, and we have added it to our "Charleston Must-Eats" list that we check up on at least once a year. There are not even any more words--please just see for yourself!
(5)
Lisa H.

Awesome place, came while visiting Charleston. Great fries! There are no pickles green tomatoes in salt lake so I was stoked to see them on the menu. They were delicious! Great place, duck is awesome. The bacon chocolate pie was interesting, I'm still not sure how I felt about the bacon, but the chocolate pie part was divine. If I'm ever in Charleston again, this place is a must stop!

Jess D.

Yummy, Friendly and a little weird (in a good way). I love going to the Moose for a nice lunch either with the DH or with some friends. The Duck Club is famous (Diners, Drive Ins & Dives, anyone?), and the decor is unforgettable. If you're not in the mood for something as heavy as the club, be sure to get some duck fat fries (either plain, with cheddar cheese OR (my fave) blue cheese). Groovy. Down Side: parking can be a little challenging (but we're in Charleston...so nothing worse than what we're used to)

Matt B.

Tried the duck club, chicken salad BLT, blue cheese garlic fries, and the Cuban and all were top notch. Dive joint with great food and great wait staff. Unfortunately, had to settle for outside seating in the heat cuz the place was full up. Lots I flies descended as soon as the food appeared. Not the restaurants fault...just life.

**Overall Rank 3.8/5** I would agree with most reviews, Tattooed Moose is a place you should definitely try at least once......and if you don't die from a massive coronary heart attack, you might want to try again. It's a dive bar with greasy bar food and every inch of wall covered in graffiti. Overall, if I was 21 again and drinking, none of this would bother me. **Food - Portion size 4/5** My wife and I split the duck club and a basket of duck fat fries, and my daughter had the corn dogs. The club was enough to split if you aren't that hungry, so it would be plenty if you had it by itself. **Food - Taste 4/5** The duck club was definitely a unique sandwich. I wouldn't go so far as to say one of the best I've ever had, but it was good. The bread was toasted but not toasty, rather soft and a little soggy. Not sure how they pulled that off. The duck fat fries are thin cut fries fried in duck fat.....again soggy and there was a good 3-4 Tbps of grease left at the bottom of the basket. They are good with the ranch. Don't let the fact that they are fried in duck fat deter you, they have a different taste, but not a gamy duck taste. The corn dogs left something to be desired. I'm not sure if those are hand made or from a package. The batter was good, but the hot dog was nasty. If they are home made, they need to invest in better quality hot dogs. Corn dogs really aren't my thing, but it is really the only thing on the menu for kids. **Location 3/5** Like others have said, this place is out there, a little off the beaten path. If you are in that area for whatever reason, give it a shot. It is located on an awkward intersection depending on where you are coming from, which can make parking a bit tricky. **Parking 3/5** Not much parking...small gravel lot next door and a few spots on the street. **Cleanliness 3/5** It is a bar....dark, loud, decorated. Like I said, the walls are covered in graffiti, some funny. The bathroom is a one-person bathroom, the water barely works. Reminded me a lot of the dive bars and clubs I use to go to back in my college days being in a band. We chose to sit outside because it was freezing inside. Not there is much you can do about it, just know there will be flies and people smoking. They do have bottles of bug spray for you in case there are mosquitoes. **Originality 5/5** Probably the only place for hundreds of miles where you can get a duck confit club sandwich and potatoes fried in duck fat, so I will give them that one. They also have a unique selection of craft beers. **Service 4/5** Service was good. Nothing to complain about. Seems like one, maybe two, people running all the tables, which I know from experience can be stressful and leaves no time to get personal. Just give them your order so they can help everyone else. **Price 4/5** Prices for us weren't bad because we split food. However, I don't know if the duck club would've been worth it for $13.50 for one person. It's a good sandwich, but that is a bit steep for any sandwich, then you have to tack on sides. **Wait 4/5** They seem to be pretty busy all the time. We didn't wait at all for a table, wait for food was about 15-20 minutes. **Atmosphere 4/5** Cool bar atmosphere. Not really for kids. They do have food for kids (corn dogs), but no kids menu, and there were a handful of kids there besides mine. Some of the graffiti could raise some questions. For example, our table, at my daughter's seat had a robot with a penis, not to mention lots of penises everywhere else and profanity. We laughed because she didn't even see it or understand it, but if your kids can read, you may not want them there.

The Tattooed Moose is a new restaurant in the newly up-and-coming area of North Morrison (or NoMo as the locals call it) that is a Divey-Hipster-Casual-Chic, trending now kind of a bar/gastropub combo. You can't really label this place easily except to say that it is definitely a grown-ups only kind of joint. I have a little kid, and probably would not bring her here as the crowd can be boisterous. I have been trying to get in to eat at the The Tattooed Moose for several months. Every time I have been in the area, though, the place is so jam-packed I have not been able to get in. This is, as far as I'm concerned, a very good sign that a restaurant is doing something right. The other day I finally scored a seat! We ( my sister and I) arrived just before noon on a weekday, and the dining room was already packed to capacity. A waitress directed us to the bar, and we were able to score a pair of seats there. We Ordered the Duck Club Sandwich, The Reuben Sandwich, and a basket of Duck Fat Fries. For the record, the sandwiches and fries come "a la carte" which means that if you order a sandwich(except the burgers, they come with fries) you will have to shell out extra for the fries. If you have read any of my reviews here on Yelp, or Twitter; you will know how much I hate that practice. I just shelled out $8.50 for some sliced meat on bread, what the hell!?! B.U.T...this is one restaurant where I can say that for $8.50 you actually get $8.50 worth of SANDWICH!!! The Duck Club, and the Reuben arrived in front of us, and they were enormous!!!! I mean like, two very large hungry men could easily split one of these and be satisfied, gargantuan-sized "sammies". Thus, on this one single occasion, I did not mind shelling out a little extra for the fries. Oh and they are DUCK FAT fries let's not forget. How did everything taste, you ask? Heaven! My Reuben was a giant pile of ooey-gooey cheesey, Russian dressingy, sour krauty, corned beefy amazingness. My sister's duck club was no less delicious. I got a taste of it, and the duck was a perfect example of proper confit technique. With the added order of fries, though, we only ate 1/2 of our sandwiches.But those Fries, those HEAVENLY fries; Oh My Gawd!!!!! I want to die eating those french fries! The very nice bartender put our left-over sandwiches into a box, we paid our bill, and left several pounds heavier, happy, and in food-comas. I've found my new favorite, downtown, divey, lunch spot.

I was told by my waitress Gwen "the Duck Club would change my life" it was truly amazing 14.50. Lunch time so I couldn't sample beers but impressive selection. Highly recommend.

Ok wasn't expecting much, but wow!!! Service was on point and fun. I redeemed my free fist bump lol. The Duck Club was by far the best sandwich I've ever eaten!!!! I will be back for sure.

Aaaaaaamazing. My husband and I just arrived in Charleston after a 10 hour drive from Philly. He had seen this place on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and it was his one request for our trip! It certainly is a dive but we'd come back here anytim for the sandwiches and duck fat fries! Oh my gosh! We had the duck club and the other club (can't remember name sorry) and both were out of this world! And we are from Philly- the land of the hardy, delicious foodie sandwich! The blue cheese garlic fries were finished in like 3 minutes! So good!! Great place, nice staff, and we only wish we could come back:)

I'm sorry Daffy and Donald, but do NOT go in here - you will be traumatized! Dive bar + craft beer + Duck = Tattooed Moose! Come with an empty stomach and leave full, happy and definitely with a NAP in your future. Manage expectations. Most everything that is great here, is fried. I don't even think they have a salad on the menu (?). It is great, greasy-spoon-style bar food! Duck Club - Yup, it's what most people write about and it is their claim to fame. Worth it! It's very good. Made to order, so can add/subtract things you may not like: Bacon, aioli. Personally (and this is where I make my case for my own sandwich) I think they should get rid of the middle piece of bread, and replace it with a layer of fries! Duck Fries - of all varieties, are great! But, it's not just the duck fat gravy or blue cheese and garlic, the FRIES are really amazing by themselves. Few Things: Beer: GREAT local, craft beer selection. Some rarities, not just the year-round locals. They had a very special Westbrook beer that was/is very hard to find. Of course we ordered a few of them! Servers: Generally pretty nice. They always seem a bit understaffed. Interior/Ambiance: Definitely a dive-bar feel. Actually, it reminds me of a grunge bar that is also a concert venue. Brunch: Very popular, so expect to wait. Some great items on the brunch menu and coffee is free and self-serve.

Oh The Moose!!! The perfect place to eat a sandwich with deep fried pork tenderloin and sausage gravy on it, drown your troubles with Jameson or Fernet Branca, discover that you have a 3 year old son running around out there, and contract tetanus all in the same night!!! It's a great little dive bar tucked discretely in the dying ghetto that is "The Neck" of Charleston. Right now, it's a short drive from the action downtown, but the area will be full of trendy bars and restaurants in 10 years as the "gentrification" of Charleston continues. For now, however, don't worry; the exact location of The Tattooed Moose sits in a fairly safe part of the The Neck and you won't feel unsafe inside or outside The Moose while you're there. But, yea, still lock your car up. The Tattooed Moose is run by the same people who own and run Voodoo in West Ashley (which is awesome) but they get to focus a bit more on the food here. And the food is really, really great! It's simple, traditional bar fare but with some really interesting and, yes, actually gourmet options! I would go as far as to say that the best sandwich you may ever put in your face lives here: The Duck Club. The Duck Club is a divine concoction, the consuming of which is akin to staring into the face of God and seeing him smiling and laughing back "You are my most wondrous creation!" It's roasted, pulled duck, added to a BLT on Hawaiian bread with the Moose touch of love added. Yes, it's amazing! Hit up the "Lucky #1" also! It's a braised pork belly and kimchi sandwich. *Mind explodes in ecstasy* There's also a thanksgiving leftovers sandwich which is just like it sounds, and delicious! They have rotating daily specials as well, so there's always something new to try. Sarah McLachlan beware: there's about 1000 dead and stuffed animals in there to complete the look, but don't worry, they never play "In the Arms of an Angel"! The Moose is, by all means, a full bar too so don't expect to go in and have a quaint luncheon with the ladies sewing circle on Sunday afternoon. There will be a few drunkards in there at any given time and the music stays on all the time. Don't worry, since Guy Fier-douchie-spiked-hair-i put it on the Food Network, the crowd still has a lot of families that come in to eat too. There's also live music every Tuesday which is also $1 off craft beer night. Ohhh the beer...they only have 5 taps but the kegs are all delicious unique brews; no bud light! They have a ton of beers in bottles and those rotate as well. The staff is really great and friendly and, despite the dive bar vibe, they keep the place pretty clean. There's a Sunday brunch every week but get there early or be prepared to wait! As mentioned, since the Guy Fieri televised event, LOTS of families show up on Sunday AM for brunch! You'll get in and get a table in short order though and be oh so happy you did! The brunch food is more of the same Moose goodness and pretty much everything comes with gravy on/in/around it! You're gonna enjoy it, but maybe chase it with some Lipitor! So, get yourself into the Moose, grab a beer, play some "Big Buck Hunter", slam a Jame-O shot with the bartender, and eat some amazing gravy soaked food! You're heart and liver may complain, but what do they know?!

I do not see what everyone sees in this place. Service is super slow and crowd is not my type, very hipster. Got the turkey thanksgiving sandwich. Eh, ok but gravy was watery and not enough cranberry mayo to taste it. Fries were ok but were soggy, I like crispier fries. Bbq baked beans were the best thing we got I thought. Sorry tm, I don't think I will be back, lots of better restaurants in Charleston to drop my 40 bucks.

Ok so I didn't absolutely go crazy for this place, few reasons why.... I don't drink beer, which is huge here. Others at my table loved the beer selection. I don't eat duck or pork, and the duck club sandwich is the biggest draw here. Two people in my party got it and loved it. I had the smoked BBQ chicken salad sandwich, which I would rate just as average. I tried some of the duck fat fries, and I would rate them as average as well..it could be because I am partial to the duck fat fries at a couple of places where I live in DC, I don't know. Lemongrass slaw was mediocre and lacking in flavor. Service was very good, and there is a phenomenal selection of graffiti on the wall of the ladies room. I just wasn't wowed..

Stopped by here at the suggestion of my son and it was worth it. Not crowded at lunch and that was good. The hamburger was great and the duck fries were fantastic, if you stop by be sure to order some. Our service was great and they have a good beer selection

Half an hour to get a turkey sandwich, and it took them three tries to get my drink order correct. But the sandwich was good even if it was served by a guy missing a front tooth.

I finally visited the Tattooed Moose after hearing all the local hype and being featured on Food TV. It is in fact a great happy hour speakeasy for getting together with friends. The vibe was so relaxed and everyone had left their baggage at the door and were in there happy place after a few cold beers. And that is always a good thing! Anyways great fun place! Hear comes the downside, the place was really busy and the food suffered, I guess the kitchen was slammed. It happens to the best of them. We started with hot wings. Good but too saucy. We both ordered the signature duck club, which was huge, but cost $13.50 per sandwich. I expected my taste buds to be dancing when this thing hit my lips. The bread was borderline soggy and the sandwich is just too big and has too much going on. All the ingredients are just competing with each other and nothing stands out. We also ordered the signature french fries which are bathed and fried in some type of exotic duck fat which makes them basically taste like the cocaine of fried food. Unfortunately the fries were under cooked and soggy. Don't get me wrong, this place is cool and fun. I would give it another chance in a heart beat. Everyone in the place was having a great time and enjoying there dishes. I am just chalking it up to bad luck. It happens to us all. I will return and try something else next time.

Stopped by for lunch. I ordered the duck club with fries (and a side of garlic aioli). Food was delicious and filling. Waitress was not overly attentive but our food came out in a timely manner and our drinks were refilled. Ordered the bread pudding...huge portion! Very satisfied with my meal.

Amy J.

I went to the Tattooed Moose on a gamble that the reviews would stand true and it did not disappoint me! Everyone had something different at my table from the grilled cheese to the Lucky #1. The Lucky #1 flavors work well together and I was surprised! Loved the Kimchi with the seared pork belly. Had the duck fries and I thought they were a little greasy for my taste but loved the garlic aioli. Definitely would recommend it for a lunch spot!

Yelp H.

Holy cheeseballs, did we love the TM. Just a little neighborhood kinda place, but those are usually the best in our experience. Completely casual, good music overhead, cool bartenders. We had the duck confit club, duck fat fries and a couple of long islands. No words were spoken between us because that would've meant we had to stop eating... For dessert we carved our initials into the table among the hundreds of other professions of love written there with Sharpies. Hey, it was our first anniversary... Do it...go!

Samantha J.

I saw the Tattoeed Moose on The Food Network while in travel in Baltimore and vowed to eat there when I returned to Charleston, SC for work. This place is amazing. Kind of a little dive bar, but with an AWESOME Craft Beer Selection (had the Abita Purple Haze) and the "Duck Club and Duck Fat Fries" definitely lived up to my expectations! I will return to the Tattooed Moose when I come back to South Carolina! The Staff and Crowd are also friendly!

Are You Kidding me? I really went with such high expectations but the place just Did Not deliver. It was featured on Diners, drive thrus and Dives as a great place with incredible sandwiches. Namely the Duck Club. Tasted like a BLT with some meat, onion and cheese. $ 13.95 !! Then the famous ff in cooked in duck fat . Limp, and greasy. I have No idea why this has such high ratings!! We also had an $9.00 chicken Salad sandwich that was fine but way overpriced. Service was slow . This little obscure place seems like fun for young kids to drink beer and enjoy but don't make a special trip !

I had a NC porter and a SC porter. It takes a lot of beer selection to have specifically dark beers available from both Carolinas.

This is not a place I would bring my grandparents or kids but it is a great dive bar. Get the duck club and the duck fat fries because let's be honest you can never have too much duck. They also have a great selection of craft beers. Be prepared to have leftovers as the sandwich is huge but for $13 it should be.

Tattooed Moose...I will NOT tattoo you on me. I was not happy as a vegetarian. Well...not that I expected better, but it would have been nice to actually get my grilled cheese that I had ordered. So first off, this place is like a local college hang out....well at least that's what it looks like. Second of all this place sucks for vegetarians....but I get that here and there...whatever....I should have known what I was getting myself into. Third of all, please at least remember that I had ordered some food if I finally figure out what I want from the vegetarian-stingy menu...please and thank you. I ordered the Breckenridge vanilla porter and that was pretty good and I asked the server to get me a grilled cheese. He asked me if I would like the alternative side since I am a vegetarian which was the cilantro lime slaw instead of the beans and I said that was fine. My beer was almost done and I had waited for 45 minutes so I asked the server for my bill to see if he had actually rung up my food...and low and behold....no food...womp womp....so I left hungry and with just a beer in my belly...no bueno....tattooed moose...you are no bueno....

I just didn't get it. Parking is a pain in the buttocks. The staff is marginally interested. The food prices are $1 or more higher than what is shown on the website. It wasn't bad, but not worth the effort to get there.

Sydney G.

Get the duck confit club!! Don't be turned off by the fact that the place looks like a dive bar. The food is far from ordinary. It's delicious. The lowcountry cuban is good, as is the chicken salad sandwich. It's not your typical chicken salad, it's amazing. Plus, you can play Jenga while you eat! How could you go wrong with that!

Solomon W.

I stumbled upon this joint while heading downtown, and I really liked the local, not so uppity vibe. It reminded me a lot of the typical low-key sports bar, with a unique grub menu to boot. TM was my first food/drink experience in Charleston, so I was super pumped to get my gut filled with some booze and fat-laden substances. Mmm-mmm. Get ready to be loosened, belt. Sadly, I was disappointed with the food. I went with the appealing duck fat fries with gravy and the chocolate-cinnamon bread pudding. The food was affordable, but a bit lacking in execution. The fries were soggy. Sure, some people enjoy the floppy fry, but I prefer my fries crisp. Size and cut is not too important. The runny gravy was solid, but simple and salty. The bread pudding was a somewhat dense and tough French Toast. The chocolate flavor stood out, but I would have preferred less chocolate and more cinnamon. Yes, TM is more of a bar, but they seem to take pride in their food menu, and I did not find it particularly outstanding. Get a beer, have a snack, and enjoy the vibe here. Cheers.

Claire P.

This place rocks! Think dive bar with an outside deck and yummy food. Best of the menu: the duck club. It's amazing. They have a killer happy hour too with $2 duck fat fries, $2 corn dog basket, and $6 High Life pitchers. Perhaps my favorite feature: delightfully strange taxidermy all over the place. Don't miss the two little squirrels dressed as a cowboy and war hero above the bar.

When Charleston's own guitar legend, Sadler Vaden, recommended this place to me, he merely uttered "duck confit" and I was sold. I like duck confit the way Sam I Am ended up liking Green Eggs and Ham. And so, I took a trip to see my niece and got the chance to see what was up on what used to be the dodgy end of town. I'm getting a little burned out on the whole cliched "hipster" scene, but one of the great things about hipsters (besides not giving a rat's ass about what tattoo sleeves will look like in 50 years) is that they hang out in places with really good freakin' beer. Tattooed Moose has both a good beer selection and top-notch food. Our table shared a basket (wise move) of the garlic blue cheese fries and I thought that they were pretty mediocre. I did like the bulb of roasted garlic, but the fries were way too limp for me. I've gotta have crispy fries if they're going to get a good review, but the fries were my only gripe. My lovely lady chose the duck club, and I--knowing that we would share--chose the Lucky #1 Sub, which is pork belly with kimchee and some other amazing stuff crammed into a bun. Both sandwiches were absolutely amazing! It was like eating sin on bread. Like the chef knew deep in his soul that he shouldn't put such flavors together, but it was just too damn fun not to. Sin on bread. Eat it up.

Jennifer M.

Wow. As loyal fans of DDD we just had to try the Tattooed Moose. We walked in mid day on a Monday and there was a great lunch crowd and great overall vibe. The place is covered in notes and names from travelers all over. We immediately ordered two local beers (white Thai pale ale) and the Duck club and Cuban sandwich. OMG. The duck club boasts itself to be most possibly the best sandwich you have ever ate. And it was THE best sandwich we ever ate hands down. The Cuban was amazing but the duck club could not be compared to. I don't normally eat duck nor would I ever order it but it was served on soft crispy bread with a mayo aioli and the meat itself was shredded like pulled pork. Magnificent!!. It was a highlight of our trip so much so we recommended it to everyone we met. If you are in or near Charleston you MUST make a lunch stop at the Tattooed Moose or else you really are missing out !

Marquesa O.

Duck confit represents and earns all the praise in other reviews. I want to try other items but i would regret not getting the duck if i did. Atmosphere is little scene-y but don't let that intimidate or deter you if you're a square, because the food is worth it. Seems like a good spot to meet up with a small group for some beers at night.

Don Xavier D.

it's almost sad to say that after a year of living in Charleston, SC. I've been saving my reviews, doing edits, revisiting restaurants, and not posted a single one yet. But today, I can resist no longer, I cannot hold back the tidal wave of Omnomnomfrickengoodness (patented) that I experienced at the Tattooed Moose. Charleston, being the food-conscious town that it is, never fails me with fairly accurate reviews of its eateries, and as the area's highest rated restaurant, what was taking me so long to get to the Moose? Well when I want to eat, I've run to Husk, Fig, La Fourchette, Trattoria Lucca, but today I had the opportunity to do a proper lunch, and that's what the Tattooed Moose seemed like to me, just one of those lunch places. But it is more, so much more, so deliciously, savorily, duck-fattily, more. I went in for the signature dishes, the Duck Club, duck fat fries, and a red ale that I've never heard of, and in each inning they scored a home run. Their selection of craft beers is impressive, served cold and refreshing. The signature duck club, with its fairly hefty price tag, seemed like a bet, but one that definitely paid off. It was everything a good meal should be, not just a sandwich. Savory, flavorful, decadent duck confit, cheese and bacon, the crowning glory of any sandwich, 3 floors of toasted, crispy, yet airy bread, and a mouth-watering roasted garlic aoili gave compliment and brightness to all the flavors. It was, in all honesty, the greatest sandwich I've ever had. At one point I found a whole roasted garlic clove in the sandwich, so like a barbarian, I pulled it out, stared it with wide eyes, and said, "Imma eat you". So I did. It was glorious. And the fries, THE FRIES. It was some sort of super-potato hybrid of french fry and kettle chip, and more aoili, AOOOOIIILLLLIIII. (yeah...it was that good). Oh yeah, the green tomato pickles? man...everything in that meal was spot on. This is the joint, this is the jam, this deserves every great praise that's been heaped upon it. You've got me sold Moose, you've got me sold.

Greg E.

If your looking for fine dining....move on. If you want a fantastic sandwich and a beer, this place is it. The duck club is the number one on the menu to try if you have never been here before. I highly recommend to bring a friend and get two different sandwiches and share. Don't forget to grab a basket of duck fries with gravy to go with your meal.

We made a special trip here after seeing it on triple D, and boy were we glad, everything about this place was terrific.The service was great, friendly staff, great food but above all that Duck Club was by far the best damn sandwich I have ever had. So much so that on our way out of town we picked up another one for the flight home

I came here for brunch the other day, hearing lots of good things about it, but felt pretty disappointed at my neutral experience. I've been here a few times in the past to drink, but didn't think that I had a good "feel" for the restaurant until I ate here. It seemed that the staff was largely inattentive, when my girlfriend and I showed up, we were just standing around trying to figure out what to do. Nobody told us whether or not we were supposed to seat ourselves, wait a minute, wait a while. Finally, a table got up and they told us we could just take their place. So we sat down and after a while were greeted by our server, who seemed really stressed out. (maybe she had taken too many tables at once? who knows..) While the service was fine, I was a little irritated that I had to ask for a bowl of water for my dog twice, and to two different people (Our server seemed to have completely forgotten that request). The food was good-- I had an egg sandwich, and my friend had the duck confit. There wasn't any extreme excitement happening over our food, but it was by no means unenjoyable. While I don't know that I would suggest coming back here, I would not mind coming here to meet up with friends for a drink or two. ****update! Years later, tattooed moose has got their shit together in the tastiest way possible. Service is much much improved, and their duck sandwich is amaaaazing. Plus, they have amazing beer offerings and live music a'plenty. So so glad!

There was a lot of hype surrounding this place after being featured on Triple D. The beer selection and the duck fat fries held up to expectations but the sandwich I had (lucky number 7, 8 or 1, not sure) just didn't hold up its end of the bargain. I was confused as to why the roll was not toasted. It was obviously going for a bahn mi type flavor/feel. The wasabi mayo took over the entire sandwich. The Kimchee just seemed out of place and the pork belly was a slice of crispy bacon. If I get a chance to go back maybe I'll give a different sandwich a try and possibly update my review.

J K.

Come here for the food, not the service. Service is slow, and not always attentive. But the food.... the food was AMAZING. I had the Moose Burger and Duck Fries. Both were very flavorful. And the special sauce was soo good. If I lived locally, I'd definitely go back.

The Tattooed Moose is kitschy, you won't find anything like it anywhere else in the world. From the biker-luxe dÃ©cor, to the mouthwatering (un-heart healthy menu) the restaurant is the fun kind of place a foodie enjoys stumbling upon. My friends and I visited the restaurant on a super-warm Tuesday afternoon in July. We quickly grabbed an open high top and were immediately greeted by a server. She took impeccable care of us during our visit - seeing that our drinks stayed full, answering any questions we had about the menu and checking back with us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was busy, but she treated us like we were her only customers. Our group ordered one basket of duck fat fried (more than enough...we had some left at the end of our meal). Two of us tried the Thanksgiving Leftover Sammy (Fried turkey, stuffing, cranberry may and a side of gravy for dipping), one of us had the special, a lamb Philly, and one of us tried Mike's Famous Duck Club (a triple decker club sandwich served on Hawaiian bread with smoked cheddar and, as the name suggests, duck). Let me start by saying, This. Was. A. Lot. Of. Food. A lot. Probably knowing what I know now, we could've shared two sandwiches for the entire table! And, as I said before, the basket of fries was so large that we had some left. It sounds like I'm complaining, but that certainly isn't the case. I liked the Thanksgiving Leftover Sammy - especially in July. Thanksgiving is so busy that you don't always have time to really enjoy the food, not until the following day when you've pulled all the leftovers out of the fridge and you're assembling your sandwich, anyway. That is what this sandwich tastes like - the day after Thanksgiving, which might actually be one of my favorite days of the year. I tried my husband's duck club. I didn't feel like it was the best sandwich of my life, but it was a good sandwich. The duck was tender, tasty and moist. I didn't try the lamb because, well, I'm not a fan of lamb or a Philly. Reports were mixed. Would I go back? I was a tourist to the area, so I had a limited amount of time to experience Charleston. The Tattooed Moose is a fun spot; it's out of the way and off the beaten path. It was certainly a unique experience. For sure, I'm glad I went once, but since I'm not from the area, I probably wouldn't seek out a trip to the Moose. I would, however, accompany anyone who invited me.

An excellent bar/restaurant! SUPER casual, with a dive-bar vibe, but with excellent food. We had the duck club with duck fat fries. Damn, was it great. Ask for a side of pickled tomatoes and switch the raw tomatoes out on the sandwich for pickled ones. So good.

Michael L.

What a fantastic place. First of all, GET THE DUCK CLUB. The smoky bacon and rich duck were absolutely delicious. The fries were a little soggy and if you didn't tell me they were fried in duck fat I would have had no idea. They aren't a necessity but the sandwich is! An incredible band was playing and the crowd was super enthusiastic. A bunch of friends were there for a friend's birthday and the staff couldn't have been more helpful (and the band sang happy birthday at midnight!). Swingin' tunes, good people and fantastic food? Yes, yes and yes.

I was in Charleston on vacation last August and had been told I had to try this place. It was out of the way from the area we were staying and the areas where we were spending most of our time. But we found it. There was a huge rain storm that had just gone through so the streets were flooded and finding a parking spot nearby was sort of a problem. Also since it was still drizzling the outside area was not in use but the amount of people waiting for tables seemed to grow so fast. There was a party ahead of us of like 8-10 people which this is not the place to take a large group to. Its small and there were lots of cool taxidermy items all over the place. I noticed people taking up tables playing board or card games and not eating. Sometimes I think it is completely rude for a party of 4 to stay an hour after they have finished a meal while there are about 10 parties waiting for a table. We waited over a 1/2 hour to sit down. During this time it took over 10 minutes to get the bartender to notice we were trying to order a drink while we waited. No one sitting at the bar seemed to want to make the room for us to order a drink or even pay for it. I ordered the duck club and duck fat fries. I could not tell that the fries were cooked in duck fat or veggie oil so I think it was all a hype. The club sandwich was really good. If I had to rate the place on food it would get a 5 star rating. But the service was so horrible I had to drop the score to 3 stars. It might have taken our waitress longer to bring us the check then it took to get our order and I realized why no one was ever leaving because they were not pushing checks to people who finished. I think we had to actually stop another waitress and ask for her to find our waitress to get our check. Who knows they need to work on training the staff to turn the tables over instead of making people wait so long for a table... for a beer.. and for their check. Maybe since I found out after I went that it was on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives... that this has killed a really great local spot and turned it into a busy hard to get a seat destination.

We saw this place on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and decided to join my cousin and his girlfriend for dinner before we departed Charleston. Be aware of the parking since you may have to park across the street by the post office since they have limited spots in front of the restaurant. They apparently have some kind of duck club there, but I wasn't tempted to join it. They have a broad menu and all the items looked delicious. All of us started off with roasted garlic and blue cheese fries topped with bacon. Yum! Several beers and glasses of wine were taken advantage of during the happy hour. The house wine was very nice from what I could remember. I was pretty feeling feisty by the end of the visit, so it did its job. The super melty grilled cheese sandwich was awesome. I didn't leave a bite of it and we enjoyed our visit there. The menu is cheap and reasonable, which a plus in our books. Thanks triple D!

First time I went on a Saturday afternoon it was too crowded, couldn't get a table, and there wasn't even any room to stand. Next time I went same time on a different Saturday, it was perfect. Got seated right away, service was friendly, food was amazing. Had the smoked brisket sandwich and duck fat fries..amazing! Also have cheap PBR, can't wait to go back!

This place is an overhyped hipsterfest. Food wasn't bad, but I felt like I had to order everything (or risk never ordering) when the server came around because she was obviously not interested in doing her job. The happy hour is nice, with $4 shots of most everything, maybe I would have had another if the service wasn't so bad (also never got our waters, but server didn't come back until I had my CC on the table in obvious pay mode). The funny thing is that when these obviously tatted, multiple pierced, tight wearing jeans dudes walked in I said to my wife, 'five bucks these guys order PBR's and get great service.' I kid you not, 2 tall boys of PBR later and the server was all about getting them the service the rest of us people with self respect deserve. Don't think I'll be back, although the duck confit club was pretty good, though very heavy on the bread. The BBQ brisket was nothing special either.

Awesome!! Had the Lucky #1 sandwich and would recommend it. Fries were excellent. Can't wait to go back.

We meet up with a friend here for the last few hours in charleston. The selection of beer was amazing and the food was better than just typical bar food. We had the duck far fries, a moose burger and their pimento cheese spread. The food mixed perfect with the atmosphere and beer selection.

One of our friends found this on yelp and talked us into meeting them there. When we walked in we were a bit concerned. It really looks like a dive, people have used markers and written all over the tables, chairs, walls and pretty much everwhere they could. However the food was great! Hubby had the Duck club which he said was fabulous and I had a bacon cheese burger, it was huge 1/2 pound! The fries are their specialty. Hand cut and served with either duck gravy ( we did not try this so can not comment on it) or garlic aioli, which we pretty good. Anyways I learned not to judge a book by the cover with this place!

Definitely one of the cooler bars I've been to in this country. Great beer selection and the sandwich was incredible. Go for the Duck!

A ton of beers ! Try the duck club !

My favorite Dive in all of Charleston! In a city that is know for its good eats this dive bar holds its own. You can never go wrong with their Burger and Duck Fat fries. However this is a small joint so if you go, go early or plan on waiting or eating outside. Also be forwarned its a little hipstery. Also they make a killer brunch!

colleen j.

I had the low-country Cuban and my husband had the Duck Club, both were wonderful!! We stopped here on our way to Folly on recommendation of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and so glad we did. They have plenty of beer and the waitstaff is genuinely nice. Just a great "dive" with nice people and wonderful food!!

Walter P.

It's located in its own little niche downtown with very little around it, but it was well worth the detour. First, their beer selection is vast. I had the Laughing Skull amber, which was a pretty tasty beer from Atlanta. They pretty much had any beer you can imagine with some of my favorites like Allahash White and Abita Purple Haze. The food was well prepared with a very short wait. I am pretty sure I came in after a lunch rush, but no one seemed upset or discontent due to a ridiculous wait. I had the duck club with duck fat fries. It was so tasty and rich. The meat was full of flavor, and the bread added to the taste. Well worth the price.

Diana K.

I will keep it simple - get the Duck Confit Club. There is a reason that Guy Fieri came here and this is it. It's delicious, flavorful, juicy and the right size for a great brunch dish. The decor is also fun, white-trashy, and literally Sharpied all over. The tables, chairs, walls, bathrooms...everything! Fun place to go, and it seems to really attract a crowd.
(4)
Melissa N.

oh my lordy lord! I am not religious, but the Mike's famous duck club sandwich they have here almost converted me! Tender duck meat and all the good things you would expect to find in a club are in this sandwich, but better - duck confit, hickory smoked cheddar, garlic aoili, apple smoked bacon, sweet hawaiian bun, lettuce and tomatoes (not a fan of onions). The Reuben and the Thanksgiving Leftover Sammy were also yummy. Of course we added an order of duck fat fries and it was a wrap! Definitely coming back here when I'm in Charleston again! and don't forget to check in to redeem your free fist bump! :)

Debbie A.

From the outside and inside, it looks like s standard bar, but you will be amazed at how good the food is. We waited about 20 minutes for a seat, and our waiter was a little slow (other tables that came in after us got served their appetizers first). However, it was worth the wait. I ordered the Duck Club and it was a amazing. I actually don't care for duck as it is usually very greasy, but this may change my mind. It was tender, not greasy and had an awesome garlic aoili sauce. My fiance got the chicken sandwich with avocado, which was good, but not as good as the duck. The duck fat fries were tasty, but a little too thin for my preferences.

Great place, atmosphere, and the food is even better. My husband and I had the duck club, the number 1, and duck fat fries all were awesome! We loved it will make is number one stop on out next visit to Charleston.

Priscila S.

The place is small, dark, a bit dingy. Don't let that fool you the food is very good. Most of us tried the Duck Club, it was delicious. The food was very heavy, lot's of grease but it's kind of what your signing up for, everything on the menu is like that. Service was great, they have table games you can play before the meal comes. Overall a good experience.

After seeing this bar on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, I had to put it on my bucket list of restaurants. I finally went this past Sunday for a snack. We got the duck fat fries topped with blue cheese and garlic. Oh man, they were delicious but my breath reeked for hours afterwards. Next time, I'll be trying the famous Duck club sandwich and maybe just sticking to the fries with garlic aioli to tone the breath smelling down a bit. There are great local beers on draft and a ton of bottles available as well. I loved the unique atmosphere with the moose, beaver, deer and other animals hanging on the wall. Also, people can write on the tables for extra fun. Very surprised I didn't see any penis drawings. The location is the middle of nowhere but a car will get you there just fine and parking isn't an issue! They also have a beer club. If you try all the beers within a year, you get a nameplate put up behind the bar. Can't wait to go back.

3.5 stars but I am rounding up giving them a little bit of leeway as I don't know another dive bar like this one anywhere. We arrived during happy hour on a Thursday night just in time, as we were seated immediately a little before 6, but even ten minutes later a wait had accumulated for a table. We started out with beers and wines and one member of our party took advantage of the happy hour special $4 for a corn dog basket. I ordered the bowl of pickles as an appetizer as they were also discounted for happy hour. I LOVE pickles, so getting an entire bowl makes me very happy. There are even a few pickled green tomatoes mixed in there. These are dill pickles (my favorite) and though you get a few with every sandwich having the whole bowl of them is definitely something I recommend. I know the special here is the duck club, but I am not really one to eat duck, so I ordered the Lucky #1 sub, a porkbelly sub with kimchi, wasabi mayo, and sweet chili. I thought this was really delicious and would definitely order it again. On the side I added blue cheese slaw which I found to be good, but not amazing. The main reason I was hesitant to go with the full four stars was not that the food was unsatisfactory, but rather that it seems it has changed. Another member of my party had ordered the Lucky #1 sub previously and felt that it had gotten smaller. This wasn't necessarily a complaint as we had too much food, but I'm sure the regulars would really notice. We also ordered a basket of the blue cheese and roasted garlic duck fast fries for the table. We all agreed that although they were good, they were a little different than in the past in that they tasted extremely salty. One member of our party did get the famous duck club and noted that he just felt something was a little different and it wasn't quite as amazing as he remembered. Maybe we just hit an off night food wise. In the past I have had the BLT chicken salad and I did really enjoy it. I will commend the waitress as our service was excellent. She checked on us often and I was really impressed that she didn't have to write anything down and still got everything delivered to us perfectly. We will probably visit Tattooed Moose again on the next Charleston visit, it is kind of a tradition. Fingers crossed that the things we thought weren't quite the same were just a product of an off night and not things going downhill.

Hole-in-the-wall, not the cleanest, plenty of parking...and the absolute best club sandwich my husband and I have ever eaten. Seriously genius sandwich (duck confit club) and delicious duck fat fries! Also, you will get yummy, house-made cucumber and tomato pickles. Highly recommend for sandwich lovers and foodies.
(5)
Joshua A.

Im not exactly sure where to begin... Let's start with the garlic and blue cheese duck fat fries. My fiancee and I shared them and we both were not disappointed. The blue cheese sauce was creamy and well portioned, the entree was served hot which absolutely added to the flavor. I enjoyed the Lucky #1 Sub and I couldn't contain the expressions I was making while devouring this deliciously messy sandwhich. My fiancee had the duck confi sandwhich and she couldn't put it down! The menu was a little pricey, but if I could've experienced it again, I'd do it in a heart beat! I believe the menu was A la carte, but two people could easily share the garlic and blue cheese fries. I hope you guys enjoy this spectacular find as much as we did! We dined around 3/3:30pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. There were people there but nothing crazy.

Ok, I have to admit that this is one of those gems that you find in the great city of Charleston. Good "bar food" but a little more upscale. Now you may ask after an opening like that why I didn't rate it a 5. The answer is simple; their service was slow while I was there. It went down like this: I was there with a party of 7 for brunch and we were seated in a responsible time (15-20 mins) without reservations. They only had 2 people serving (plus 1 behind the bar) at the time and it was a full house. The waitress was friendly and got our drink orders right away. The menu is great and we had ample time to review while it took the waitress 15 mins to get our drink order filled. After coming back with our drinks we proceeded to order. The food came out in decent time (20 mins) and everything was as we expected. The duck club is to die for along with the Monte Cristo. Highly recommend the duck fat fries as a side. Overall my experience was a 4 and would recommend going again if you aren't in a rush. Def. a low-key place in the land and one you want to go to just to relax and enjoy brunch with friends.

Michael M.

The food was great. I had the duck club and my wife had the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich both were great. The duck fries were also very good don't forget to get some gravy to go with them. The place looks like a dive but the wait staff is very very good. Don't be scared off by the way it looks.
(4)
Marie A.

Duck club was a little overrated for me but the Lucky #1 Sub is #1 in my book. Will come back again for this. Also don't underestimate the marinated veggies! They were a great accompaniment to this sandwich. Glad I gave them another try! My first time was about 2 years ago and I went duck all the way. Duck club and duck fat fries. I honestly think I had psyched myself up after seeing them on DDD. But this dive has so much more to offer. They have nice friendly wait staff but place fills up quick so get there early. Good beer selection as well.
(4)
Jeremy R.

After catching the TM segment on DDD I knew my love of duck would eventually lead me to their door. I finally made it and at happy hour, no less. I admit we might have gone a little overboard when we ordered a bucket of ponys, a duck club, no.1 sub, 2 orders duck fat fries a cheese portobello sandwich and some pickled veggies for the three of us. The sandwiches were AMAZING, some of the best I have ever had with the pork belly sub being my favorite. Duck fat fries were super thin but did not taste that fresh. We also ordered the chocolate bacon pie which was Ok but not the best I have had. Ambiance is fun and welcoming. Stick with the sandwiches and you can't go wrong.

What a place for a sandwich! A local dive-converted from a Huddle House-into a craft beer and sandwich mecca. Of the Duck Confit and the Thanksgiving Sammy, there are two fantastic sandwiches here. The duck pretty much falls apart in your mouth, and is not dry in the least bit. Paired with the (seemingly basic) sides and condiments of the rest of the club sandwich, it is a punch of flavor. The Thanksgiving Sammy is a (premium) turkey with stuffing, cranberry something or other, on a roll. Dipped in gravy. What? Yes, this is my new unofficial Thanksgiving ritual. Other sandwiches I've had from here were this special of the day-a black pepper turkey on rye with an orange sauce that was worth every penny, and the Moose burger. Both great, but the burger is my least fav. They also have random board games and a couple of pinball or arcade games too. Nothing much, but something to do. The waitress here has said that they basically strive for "good meat and good beer". Good words to live by. I make an attempt to stop by here any chance I'm in the area. This is a must visit for any serious Yelper or person serious about good food.

I really liked this place - we came with Seamus the yellow lab to celebrate out anniversary at lunch and it was a solid showing. I had the pate sandwich and JR C. had...I don't remember. Sorry. The fries are definitely awesome, beer selection is solid...a little crusty? Yeah...but a great place.

Food was good but not really worth the price... Paid 30$ for 2 sandwiches and some fries. I was expecting so much more. I had some box car betties a little while back and ya the sandwiches where pricy but when I was eating it I kept saying "Damn this is such a great sandwich". With this place not so much. It was just like.. Ya this is good but not great. The low rating it because the food didn't match the price but overall it was decent.

Who knew I was about to bite into one of the tastiest sandwiches of my life as we entered Charleston, SC on vacation the other day. I did my usual Yelp search & thought the Tatooed Moose sounded pretty interesting as a lunch stop with some tasty sounding sandwiches & it didn't upset either of us that it was a former Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives stop. We knew that would only make it a touch grittier, which after a few hrs in the car actually described us pretty well. While in the car I thought I might give the highly acclaimed duck confit sandwich a shot & then I found Lucky #1 on the menu and it called my name louder than my mother used to when I did something really really bad... BBQ braised pork belly with kimchi (plus kimchi pickles), cilantro, wasabi & sweet red chili on a bun. Where has this been all my life? Holy smokes that sub was tasty & I was super glad it was large enough that I didn't feel deprived giving my husband a big old hunk. I'm still fantasizing about this sandwich & I will be for a long, long time. With a side of bleu cheese, bacon coleslaw it may have pulled off a perfect 10 in lunch world. And they had really good beer selections here! I tasted my husband's Cuban Sandwich & it fell into the Meh Category, so clearly not everything here is that perfect but Lucky #1 sure is!!!

I had wanted to come here for about 6 months and we finally made it. I wanted to love it but I ended up being sorely disappointed. The service wasn't impressive. We had three people help us and then everyone went missing when we were ready to order. We had the blue cheese fries, the burger and the club. The burger was something you'd find at Chilis, the club was lacking lacking flavor and the fries were so chocked full of garlic the blue cheese was lost.

Emily S.

If I only had one meal left on this Earth I would drive to Charleston to eat here. Duck Confit Club and duck fries are amazing. The last time my husband and I were in Charleston we ate here twice in one weekend. Don't judge. After you eat here you'll understand. Servers are fun and quirky. Love that it's super casual. I'll take a dive bar with fantastic food over just about anything else. Bring a Sharpie and leave your mark. Pimento cheese ap is delicious as well! If you want something other than the duck club, get the Lucky #1 Sub.

I've never been to Charleston SC so I don't know the town that well. A co-worker found out and told me that if I do anything there "I have to go to the Tattooed Moose and eat the Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese French Fries cooked in Duck Fat and Mikes Famous Duck Club Sandwich." Its Spring Break and my family and I were up for an adventure. Don't let the location of the Tattooed Moose throw you. Its tucked away in a business / commercial area. The employees are nice and the food is Great for a fair price. Its been two weeks since we were there and we are still talking about it. This was a taste treat. If we ever go back there we will definitely eat there again. Yum yum.

So my friend was RAVING about their duck confit club sandwich and that we had to go there. Funny thing though, once we got here, she didn't get the duck confit club and neither did I. I opted for the beef brisket bbq sandwich and she got the cuban. We ordered a basket of duck fat fries to share. I wish I asked for more of their homemade pickles, those were so good. The beef brisket was great, the more meaty side instead of the fatty side. The fries were amazing. I also got the moose pies - which really do look like some moose patties - which were four Little Debbies Oatmeal creme sandwiches, two for each sandwich, and in between there was a peanut butter and banana moose. ( which by the way with chocolate sauce on top was amazing). They were pretty good. but I love those oatmeal creme sandwiches so I was already sold there. We did have some issues with the service. We never really saw our server. She must have had half the place by herself inside and out so she was super busy. I can see how this place can get real slow on service when they are slammed if this is the way it was on a rather late weeknight.

Justin K.

Had the Duck Club and it was phenomenal. Really enjoyed this place and will definitely refer this place to friends and return again. Only reason they're not receiving 5 stars is because the restaurant needs to be deep cleaned as there was dust all over the walls and decorations and vents.

Say what you will about Guy Fieri and "triple D," but take his recommendation and get yourself to the Tattooed Moose if you are within 50 miles of Charleston. I give the Moose a rare five stars because in the world of dive bars and gastropubs, the Tattooed Moose sets a high bar. Read on to learn why. Do not be deterred by appearances of the Tattooed Moose or its neighbors. The restaurant is on an unattractive and busy road that parallels the Cooper River west of the Ravenel Bridge. Situated across the street from the Longshoreman's Union hall, it is not scenic Charleston. While the exterior of the Moose is uninspiring, what counts here is the food and service. Both are fantastic. The crowd when we arrived was young college students, tattooed hipsters (appropriately), blue collar workers, and a few middle aged couples. A wide spectrum. While you may think you will stick out, trust me, you will feel welcome. To the food. The table split an order of Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries ($8.50) topped with blue cheese sauce & a bulb of garlic confit. This is a cardiac surgeon's best friend and too rich for my taste, but a few bites were tasty. This easily feeds 4 - 6. For dinner, my father-in-law and my son had Mike's Famous Duck Club ($13.50), a triple decker filled with house-made duck confit, apple smoked bacon, hickory smoked cheddar, on sweet Hawaiian bread with garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato, & red onion. My mother-in-law and I each had a "Lucky #1" Sub ($8.75): house-made BBQ braised pork belly, seared on the grill, topped with house made kimchi, tomatoes, cucumbers, crispy onions, cilantro, wasabi mayo, & sweet red chili sauce on a toasted roll. We shared halves. Both were featured on Triple D and both EXCEEDED Guy's unbridled praises. Seriously. The Tattooed Moose has a serious list of beers, including Westbrook White Thai, my new favorite: think Belgian White Ale with lemongrass instead of curacao, and a hint of ginger. Look. You would not go here to wine and dine an important client or to propose to your girlfriend (or whomever), but you must go. It is that good. Please let me know what you think of my review by clicking a button below. Thanks!

Zohra B.

AHHH what can you say about the Tattooed Moose other than great divery bar with some awesome beer and food selections??? Oh yeah - that it was featured on Food Network Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. That should put any qualms you have about the place to rest. Dress code - whatever and however you wish to present yourself. They have the most diverse tap, bottle and canned beer around. And that is saying a lot. I mean the selection is quite impressive for a dive bar. Seating can be sparse on the busier days, but they do have a nice little outside patio you can sit at. Inside is a little dark, Tvs in the corners, and lots of games to play like checkers or connect 4 !! (throw back to childhood - love it) Service can also be spotty when they are busy, so definitely order 2 drinks at a time. The food - the food is mouth watering. Of course you have to try the Duck Club - thats one of the dishes that were featured on DDD, with the duck fat fries. OMG!! delish. (its great for hangovers too). Even if you dont like or have never tried duck before _ TRY THE DUCK CLUB. or another fabulous sandwich is the Curry pork sandwich. OH !!! And the Thanksgiving sandwich, wow - WOW. Great place to people watch, hang out with some friends and have a few drinks and some great food without having to worry about what ya look like before you leave the house - always a plus in my book. :)

Jacob F.

Well the appearance was nice outside and inside the menu had some great items. Went there with my roommate to check it out for the first time. But the service from the bar was HORRIBLE. The server took forever to get our drinks especially for my drink . I felt like I was a ghost . there was NO acknowledgement from her. It took her 15 minutes to get a draft beer. We also ordered food there from another bar server that was on top of it ,she even ask us if we need another drink and we sad yes we got our drinks less than 10seconds and the food was the only thing that was really good. We ask for the bill and she took for ever to take the bill. I felt as if I should have gone behind the bar to swipe and sign then close out the tab myself. In the near future we will try it again but f on another bar server just not from the other bar girl.

Got the blue cheese and garlic duck fries. Very good. Even better...the duck club. It is solid... Great combination of tastes. We also got a side of the pickles...the tomatoes in the pickle dish were excellent! The hubs appreciated the beer selection. We split it all and left very satisfied!

A much better option than many in Downtown Charleston. Tattooed Moose is a working man's restaurant, where most everything around is dainty or touristy. Sandwiches here are big, and have the quality bread and toppings that most restaurants ignore. They have a good selection of drinks and great happy hour specials. It's a great spot to lounge outside too on a cool day. The staff is friendly, and don't exude snobbery like nearby places. The only big knock I give Tattooed Moose is that while the fries are excellent, they should be served hot to everyone. Overall, though, this is a regular spot for me when in Charleston.

Tyler M.

We had the Mikes Famous Duck Club and the Low country Cuban. The prices were excellent, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was amazing.The servers were prompt, knowledgeable and professional (Megan was our waitress, did awesome) Easy to see why they were recomended to us. If you are in the area and in the mood for an amazing sandwich, you have to give them a try. Parking is my only complaint.
(5)
Deb W.

Hard to tell because the place and server was so filthy and the flies were insane - we were outside. I get it's a college bar and we love dives, but this took it to a different level. The food seemed really good but it was hard to get past the atmosphere. We are really looking forward to Tattooed Moose opening on Johns Island. I think we'll love it there.

Love this place... come here every time I am in Charleston. Im from Asheville NC and this place makes me feel right at home. BUT the have great live local music and the DUCK club is fantastic. Another fav is the Blue Cheese Fries with roasted garlic... Im talking the whole bulb of garlic... great selection of craft beers in bottles. My only disappointment was no IPA on tap...

Amazing place for a fun night out. This place has a very different theme and setting. lots of noise when you go inside. Don't forget to try the Duck Club sandwich "my fav" Took some of my business guests here and they loved it. But this isn't a place for a formal business dinner(obviously) there is place to sit outside as well. Service is good. You tend to see quite a bit of young college crowd here too.

There is not another sandwich in the world that is better than the duck club from the tattooed moose. It will make you want to come back everyday just to relive it. Highly recommend.

Kayla G.

The food was good. Loved the duck fat fries. I got the burger, which was nothing special. We spent $65 for 4 people. I ended up eating less than half of my food. If I went again, I'd just get a basket of fries & the house made garlic Aoli is wonderful. Nice atmosphere, we wrote out names on the booth! (Everyone does that)

Jen H.

I really dig this place. A dive bar with AMAZING food - yes, please. It is located directly over the Ravenal bridge going into downtown... take the East Bay exit, a right at the stop on Morrison and it is just a few blocks up on the left. Definitely drive... as it isn't necessarily in the best area of town (but not far from it). Again, the food was really, really good. The infamous duck club is probably the best sandwich I have ever had. Ever. Hell, I turned my nose up to it when my friends first gave me the good ol' "You HAVE to try the duck club". I didn't think I liked duck (I had just had it as a dinner plate at another locale a few months before and it was so/so). Well, apparently, I like duck a lot thanks to this masterful creation. Basically... its like pulled duck topped with smoked (and you can taste the smokiness - huge plus) bacon and cheddar cheese, slapped with a piece of bread in the middle big mac style. Top layer is for the fixings... some really tasty mayo-based sauce, onions, lettuce and tomato if you prefer. It comes on sweet Hawaiian bread... which just brings more of the out. I have not ventured past that, as the other day was my first venture out that way.... but I've heard the same about the other plates on the menu. The menu itself isn't huge... soups/salads, apps and sandwiches. All in all, I'll certainly go back and will update this further when I do.

Friendly staff, nice dive place...trying this place as a result of seeing on TV (diners, drive-in and dives). The duck club, side of fries was great...bread and the build of the sandwich is amazing. I wish I loved it more but I just am not that big a fan of duck....any other meat on this Goliath of a sandwich and I'd be over the moon. this place has a lot of charm, menu is small but has some great looking items. it seems everyone comes here for the club so try it! I wasn't disappointed just don't love quack.

So good. I love this place and most of what it has to offer. My favorites are the Duck Club and the Lucky #1 Sub. I'd give this place five starts but our service freakin sucked. Today we ate like kings.

Had the classic duck club and duck fat fries. The reviews aren't exaggerating when they say how delicious the famous sandwich and fries are. They deserve 5 stars on their own. The sandwich is the most expensive thing on the menu, It's worth every penny. Most other items are under $10. I'm going with a solid four just because the rest of their menu is just ok. My friend got the salad and it wasn't that great. I assure you, she tried mine and had a serious case of food envy. But honestly... Don't come here for the salad....that's just a crying shame. I tried their drink special which was basically a pineapple juice mimosa they called "pineapple wine" which was served in a regular sized drink cup on ice. Kinda strange, and a whole lot of champagne! Couldn't taste much pineapple which was disappointing. Overall- bring some friends and come here to relax, have a few drinks and be very very full.

We went for local beer and duck fat fries. We were not disappointed by the local beers and excellent bartenders. However, the celebrated duck fat fries were a disappointment. They were limp and oily (probably from frying in too-cold oil) and did not have much of a duck fat flavor to them. I could only imagine that the fat is cut with another frying fat to keep the cost down. We got it them with both the gravy and the aioli to compare. The gravy was pretty boring, but the aioli was ridiculously good. It saved the fries from being a total bust, but I won't make a special trip for them again. However, this is a perfect after-work beer place if it's on your way home. I'm coming back to try the duck sandwich in the future. Otherwise, this place will likely just be a stop on a future bar crawl that will end at Edmund's Oast. In even better news, they disinfected any trace of uber-douchiness that Guy Fieri left on his travels for DD&D.

Thanksgiving club sandwich and duckfat fries. YES. PLEASE. My son and I enjoyed playing one of the many board games that They have out for your enjoyment.

I did like this place, it is definitely not " main stream" and by no means " the norm " the menu is cool and creative, duck is the star player. I had the so called ultimate sandwich with shredded duck, cheese, bacon, and tomato, lettuce etc etc. it was awesome! I love the garlic fries, whole cloves of roasted garlic right on top of the fries. It is a very casual place with interesting decor, and well worth a visit. Just in case you didn't know, it was also featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

Run, don't walk, to the Tattooed Moose! We saw this place featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and immediately added it to he list of restaurants to check out while on vacation in Charleston. The vibe of this place is laid back and relaxed. While they were quite busy, we didn't feel rushed at all by our server. The real reason to go it the Duck Club Sandwich. My boyfriend stated this is what he would order for his last meal on earth. I think that about sums it up!

The duck club may be the best club I've ever had. Me and my fam all had the duck club and we also ordered three orders of duck fat fries for the table..one with gravy, a second with blue cheese and garlic, and a third with garlic aioli. They were all equally delicious. The house made pickles are amazing and the sweet and sour green tomatoes make the club. The Tattooed Moose will always be a go to spot when in Charleston. It's nothing less than amazing.

The best Sammie ive everrrr had!! Lucky #1 sub! It looks like it was trademarked too so more reason to come here. Apparently this place was on diners, drive ins and dives. It's a regular old bar with semi awk placed seats.. I wasn't expecting much.. Not at all. My sister and her bf live in charleston now so they come often.. They ordered the pate melt and the duck club (also trademarked). My bf and I ordered the lucky #1 and the duck club. The pate melt was two slices of a pate loaf.. More meat than liver.. On reg toasted bread with cheese.. I tried some.. It was decent. I prefer more liver in my pates. The duck club was duck confit on the bottom with bacon, then Hawaiian bread, then the veggie toppings.. Maybe pickled tomatoes, cucumbers and onions? Can't remember. The lucky #1 was a slice of pork belly.. Fried to give it the perfect crisp while still having a soft inside.. Cucumber slices, house made kimchi and a couple other toppings I'm sure. The bread was perfect.. It didn't get soggy like the pate melt.. Wasn't too sweet like the duck club.. It held the sub together perfectly. Every component brought the perfect sweetness, spiciness, saltiness and creaminess.. Everything had the perfect texture too.. I LOVE texture and crunchy things. This was my sisters favorite Sammie too.. She just wanted to try something diff when she got the pate.. And her bf go to is the pastrami.. I'm not sure how he felt about his club. I liked this place so much I wanted to bring some back to Maryland! But seeing as how we had to drive 8+ hours the bf decided that wasn't a good idea. Him and I swapped half our sandwiches... We had my lucky #1 first... Then I took a bite of the club and instantly regretted swapping with him. Or regretted eating mine first! He said the same thing. Deffff will come back here if I visit my sister again. Best damn Sammie/sub EVER! Now I believe in guy fieri... Hopefully he won't disappoint.

Absolutely the best thing I had while i was in Charleston. We went late on a Saturday night and started with drinks. The bartender was super helpful and the drinks were great. She actually told us to run down to Edmund's Oast and try some food there first, which I will also be reviewing, because they stopped serving food at 11pm and the Tattooed Moose serves until 1 AM. I found it extremely tasteful that the local places stick together and recommend other places in town as well. I ordered the must have as found on yelp, the Duck Club and it was the best sandwich I have ever had. I devoured the sandwich down to the last bite. It has such a great combination of flavors that just melt in your mouth. We went on Saturday night and upon getting back out in the morning the first place we went was back to Tattooed Moose for another Duck Club and Bloody Mary's. The drinks were great as well. I found them to be subtle with the perfect blend of spice. If I had to stop at one place on my travels through Charleston for a meal, it would be Tattooed Moose. It is worth going a little out of the way just for the sandwich. It wasn't featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives for no reason, trust me you will not regret it. The location is a little outside of downtown but it is well worth the visit.

I would classify the Tattooed Moose as an upscale dive bar. It has all the elements of a dive bar with cheap drinks and simple decor. But also has the best bar food in the lowcountry (some of the best food overall IMO). Obviously the duck club and fries is the Moose's #1. It may be a bit overpriced but you could easily make it two meals. Their wings are also surprisingly good considering their price and lack of hype. My favorite aspect of TM is their happy hour. You can eat and drink a ton for under $20-25 per person, which is tough to find in downtown Charleston. Last time I was there, I got housed at happy hour and had enough money left over to buy a ferret named Otis. Otis and I still remain good friends and I owe it all to the Tattooed Moose. Only issue I have with TM is it's location. It's not within walking distance to anything else, so you have to either drive or cab it.

Outstanding Duck Club! Duck fat fries could be cut a little thicker for better flavor but still good. Great place for a hearty lunch with a few beers!

It's loud in here. Parking is a pain. You probably have to wait for a table. And it's crowded. Duck fries. Isn't that why everyone goes? So that's what we had. While they weren't bad, they didn't quite live up to my expectation. I cook eggs in duck fat, so I was expecting a bit more flavor, but still not disappointed at all. The duck club was also ordered. Expectations were exceeded as this was a truly fabulous plate of a sandwich. Next time I will skip the cheese, it's some kind of smoked cheddar and I felt it overshadowed the other ingredients. But you better believe I ate every single bite - wonderful. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Drinks. Sadly disappointed. I don't know what they're using or maybe their gun is gimpy, but the 'Sprite' was not good at all. Reminded me of Pure Harvest or some other off brand Sprite. Had a tangy almost medicinal taste. I've noticed more and more, places are using cheaper beverage suppliers and that's a shame. I've started taking my own sodas in cans to places I know use knock-off brands. If I order a rum and Coke, a rum and cola doesn't work for me. And that Pure Harvest "cola" borders on in drinkable. Am I going back? Hell yes I'm going back! That duck club is the bomb. But I'm bringing my own soda next time.

Dive bar with a great beer selection. The duck club sandwich lives up to the hype. Its a must have......you will not be disappointed.

Decided to try this place due to the reviews. We were not disappointed. Had the duck club and it was just as delicious as everyone led us to believe. The duck fat fries were yummy too. Just happened to have a Sharpee with us to leave our mark along with all the others on the outside tables. Will certainly eat here again and recommend you check it out on a beautiful fall day too. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is exactly what you would expect for a place with this name with outdoor seating, so wear what you want.

Duck club and duck fat fries are worth coming here from wherever you are! Nothing fancy or chic but rally good food, people from all walks dining in, and good music. I'll be going back, again and spreading the word about the gem---maybe not. I don't want people in my spot :)

Guys, I'm not going to write a long drawn-out review here. It's not that hard. Go to Tattooed Moose, enjoy beer, order the duck confit club and duck fries. Went for the first time last weekend and my boyfriend and I really liked it. Small place with a cool divey atmosphere. Lots of beer choices. The sandwiches all looked so good (I'm going to have to go back for the pate melt!) and the Duck Confit Club was SO good. Duck fat fries were addicting. We got them with a side of gravy and also got the side of garic aioli and I was inhaling them. We also split an order of wings, and I think they're the best I've had in Charleston after living here a few months (and watching a lot of football) Oh and Tattooed Moose is open late-night! We went at about 10:30 one night... obviously duck confit and fuck fat fries make awesome latenight eats.

The atmosphere makes dining here, an experience. The menu isn't very vegetarian friendly, but everyone else seems happy with it. My husband enjoyed a breakfast version of a Rochester Garbage Plate for brunch, and he sure was happy. Parking isn't fun and they sure do get busy, so be prepared for that.

Heidi L.

Came here on a Sunday for their brunch. Great drinks- had the mimosas and bellinis. The garbage plate was great. Next time for sure ordering the fries. They were so good with the sausage gravy. Saw a biscuit come out and knew immediately I needed to have one. It was spectacular. The egg sandwich was tastey. The burger was awesome. If you come on Sunday- they open at 11:30 and come early cause there's a line. But it's worth the wait. Atmosphere was hip- great music- friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Mazlo M.

Got there at 11:30am when it opened and by 11:50am, all seats were taken, even at the bar! The place was full with locals, guys in ties, fire chief, and tourists. Great food, great music, great service - the place has a Seattle vibe (90's alternative music- Nirvana, The Pixies). We had the moose burger, duck club, duck fries with gravy, and the lazy magnolia pecan nut brown ale. All were winners. Would love to come back for the for the peanut butter and banana French toast but it's only served for Sunday brunch. Sadly, we are heading back home on Saturday. See you next time we are I'm Charlestown.

Jeffrey R.

Decided to go there for lunch during the week while working in Charleston having seen the place numerous times on food network. When we asked the waitress which was the best sandwich order she immediately said the duck club. Having watched that sandwich being made on TV enough times and never having had duck in my life I decided to go with the recommendation.i'm glad I did, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.

This was my 3rd visit to the Tattooed Moose. My FiancÃ© and I went in for a late dinner at around 9:30 on a Sunday night. Upon arrival, we went up to the bar, and our server came out promptly and lead us to a booth. We ordered a couple of beers right away, Pluff Mud Porter nitro if I remember correctly. I ordered the smoked chicken salad sandwich, and she had the thanksgiving sandwich (which she has ordered EVERY time we've gone). We also split a basket of the bleu garlic fries. After a short wait, our sandwiches and super fly French fries came right out. I must say, these bleu garlic fries are the wildest, most intensely garlicky and mouthwatering variant of cheese fries I've ever had! The half head of roasted garlic on top was not only an aromatic garnish, but a tastey side dish unto itself. My chicken salad sandwich, was so much more than its title lead me to believe. The bacon and the chx salad really jibed well, and the bread to topping ratio was perfectly balanced. My old lady's sandwhich was damn near perfect as well, save for the lack of cranberry sauce, and the gravy being lukewarm; that and the fact that I didn't (but she did) get their pickled green tomatoes on the side of my sandwich (I'm a pickle fanatic ;). Deduct the final star. We shall return for great service and exceptional food, even on a rainy Sunday night.

This one is a dive! But you know what else it is? A winner! The fries I had here were the best I've ever had in my life. Music, trendy hipsters, a couple of smokers on the patio, drinks, conversation...all check. It was pretty late and we were a little worried that the staff focus would be more cocktails and brews than food at this point. We decided to give the food a whirl though despite the late hour. Roasted Garlic & Bleu Cheese Fries Lucky #1 Duck Club These fries were the best, ever. Hands down for me, I've never had better fries. The roasted garlic bulb...why haven't I thought of that?! Amazing...I love a creamy smooth forkful of roasted garlic. They added magic fries and some sort of super powered bleu cheese sauce that was orgasmic. I am so not hyping these fries up lol. I don't know what they did, but they did it well! The pork belly sub was delicious. I just wish there was more pork belly on there. The kimchi and cilantro...everything worked well with this sub. When I finished mine I wanted more. It was really good. The duck club was still great despite it losing to the Lucky #1 in my book. The duck was tasty, but I wish it had a wee bit more flavor to it and as another yelper said, a little more meat here too. All in all, great sandwich. Needless to say, it didn't matter about the late night party hour, the food was still amazing. I would definitely go back OD on those fries again...I'd also try the grilled cheese and the smoked chicken salad BLT. Great grub. PS: Note to owners (add more meat to the sandwiches please!)

We went here late Sunday night for dinner. The place was so loud that we couldn't hear each other across the table and had to move outside. The service below average as the waiter disappeared for long periods of time. It took twenty minutes for them to take our order after we got our drinks. The food was ok. We got the duck confit sandwich (pretty decent), the lucky #1 sub (way too many flavors going on) and the duck fat fries (wonderful). We also ordered the bacon cake for dessert. It was so tiny for $6, but it tastes so terrible we ended up throwing it away. It tasted like straight Hershey's Syrup in a solid form. It's not the worse place I've ever been to, but I definitely wouldn't choose to come back.

Get the duck club with the blue cheese and garlic duck fat fries. You will not be disappointed. Such a great place for brunch, lunch or dinner. Craft beer selection is great and they still have some beer from macro breweries if you're into that garbage. I've had the duck hash for brunch as well as the Cuban and thanksgiving dinner sandwiches. Everything on the menu is great but I'm a slave to the duck club. Friendly staff and bartenders are just the cherry on top. Cool and hip atmosphere with outside seating for when the weather is nice.

After seeing Tattooed Moose on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, I knew I just HAD to try it. And let me tell you, it didn't disappoint at all and was everything Guy Fieri said on the show! I had not one but two orders of the duck fat fries. What can possibly be better than French fries fried in duck fat?! DELISH!!!! Then I just had to get the duck club sandwich. It was knock-my-socks off AMAZING!!! Best club sandwich I have EVER had in my life and I am a club sandwich fanatic. Honestly it was probably the great sandwich I've had in my life period. It is a MUST TRY. The sweet Hawaiian bread, duck confit, bacon, garlic mayo..... It's an orchestra on your taste buds! And the decor and vibe was totally awesome. Made me feel right at home and welcome. They also have a great assortment of beers as well. Totally worth the trip to Charleston! Two thumbs way up!

Jacob C.

This place wa cool little dive type spot near the campus downtown. Mice wife and I got the corn dogs, duck fries, and wings. They were all pretty tasy and the service was good too, prices were cheap! Good selection of some cheap beers and great local craft beers too. If I was 10 years younger I'd be there every other weekend, check this place out.

Alanna B.

You must get the Duck Club. No exceptions. And a side of duck fries. Awesome drink and beer selections. Featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." Parking areas are listed on their website where you can and cannot park. This location appears to be in a bad area of town, but you wont care about that after eating here. I have no factual info if it is located in a bad area, that is just how my drive appeared on my way from downtown. It certainly is a place where the locals go. I would go back in a heartbeat. You must stop here while in Charleston.

Great quality!!! The appetizer tray was bit pricey.... The service was on time and generous. The atmosphere is very casual. If the duck sandwich came with fries the $13.00 for the sandwich would be perfect.

My husband and I went here after a show at the music farm. We had the thanksgiving Sammie, which was delicious and the duck fat fries with gravy. Fries were good, the gravy was ok but very salty. There was a live band playing, which was neat. But our server could not hear anything we were saying, which was annoying. Not too impressed but not a horrible spot either.

Tattooed Moose is a dive bar on the other side of town. If you are visiting from out of town, you will definitely want to drive there. I have been here 4 or 5 times and always enjoyed it. I feel that the famous Duck Club does live up to the hype. One of my favorite sandwiches ever. It is dripping in flavor! The Duck Fat Fries are good but up the ante by adding the Blue Cheese and garlic. They actually bring out an entire cooked clove of garlic to season these tasty taters. I have also tried tried friends sandwiches as I can't resist getting the Duck Club when I go and I would have to say my second favorite so far is the Thanksgiving Sandwich. Its a dive bar with with exceptional bar food. When I first went, I had told server that I was told I had to check this place out for the food(early stages before it was all the rage) he was shocked and said "It's so cool that people are recommending us for our foor, we're just a dive bar". Don't forget that they have a great selection of craft beer. Only negative is that the service sometimes suffers when it gets busy. Overall its worth a try.

Very small! A few tables on the deck and a few booths and tables inside. Went with the Duck Club which was off hook good!, They are trying to maintain the edginess with the staff that draws people in but need to focus on folks that have experience in food service if they want to stay successful for long after the hype from DDD.

Yet another one of the places i visited soley do to them being on Triple D. And yet again i wasn't disappointed.I stopped in last week while in Charleston,SC to find out that they are closed for repairs for a few day's, it really bummed me out as i was excited to try the place out, i checked there facebook and found out they were set to reopen the night before i leave... PERFECT. I show up thursday night around 7:30 anticipating some of the dinner rush to be over and i still had to wait about 25 minutes for a table. Finally got a table and decided to try the Duck Club...which was a big stretch for me since i've never had duck, Also ordered the duck fat fries per the waitress' request. My fiance got the chicken salad. a few minutes later our food comes out and the Duck Club was much bigger than i was expecting, It was VERY good which i was thankful for since i've never ate duck. The fries were good as well a bit richer than your typical fries. The Chicken salad sandwich was also quite good. Well worth a stop if you're in the mood to try something a bit out of the box.

On my trip to Charleston, I pretty much ate my way through the city and the tattooed moose was my favorite stop. The Thanksgiving Sammy was amazing and so was the duck gravy that came with it. A friend got the duck fat fries and the flavor was amazing. If I'm ever in Charleston again I'll make sure I stop in. Definitely worth a visit.

Like others have said, I wanted to try this place out after seeing it on Diners, Drivers & Dives, but I was a bit disappointed. The sandwich was alright, I wasn't too crazy about it. And I guess it's just me but I really hated the fries.. They weren't as good as hyped to be, imo.

Unique sandwich spot, inside is small, but definitely worth the wait. Friendly wait staff. The fries are amazing!!!! As is the duck club, and the lucky #1 sub was probably the best pork sandwich that has ever been created.

This is trendy food meets dive bar. Look at the menu and you'll see someone knows food for sure. I came here at 11 on a Wednesday cans was pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was open till 1. When you see that they do duck fat Fries with garlic aolie and a plethora of beer options. I likes the BBQ brisket sandwich with my Alagash White. I will be coming here again for sure even though listening to the college kids at the table next to me complain about dating was annoying. Expect hipsters and those who hang with them.

Best little dive sandwich joint. It can get busy ...if it does prepare to wait a bit. If that's the case grab a craft beer and chill. I miss the Reuben ...so I only give 4 stars...;-)

Went here for happy hour after a day of swimming and I can't wait to go again. Boasted by Guy Fieri, Food Network's Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives, as having the best duck club he has ever had...my husband and I just stuck with the happy hour menu and will save the club for later. We got the 2$ basket of duck fries, 50 cents per wing of a total of 10 buffalo wings, and a couple corn dogs with a 7$ pitcher of beer we were blown away by the admirably yet sophistication of flavors. Duck fries were flavorful, crispy, and salty. Wings were tangy with a hint of butter in the buffalo sauce while crispy having crispy skin yet juicy meat. The corn dogs had a fabulous mustard dipping sauce. Tattooed Moose..I bow down.

JT A.

Definitely one of the best sandwiches is the duck club. A bit steep in price but so delicious and filling. I definitely recommend it! My waiter wasn't that attentive and didn't check in with me to see how it was until I finished and was ready for the bill. She had many opportunities as she walked by my table a good 10 times. Given that she didn't deliver ny food, that's the very least she could've done (that is, to see how it was). So her tip was low. It's really simple- serve us (service).

one of the best burgers anywhere...their namesake with the pork belly will satisfy any carnivore, and the duck-fat fries with garlic aioli are the perfect companion. Mike really knows how to put the meat between the buns.

A good friend told me that this place was down the street from school, so I decided to swing by for lunch and some brews after class. I read plenty of good reviews about the Duck Club, so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm no duck specialist (I think this was actually the first time I've had it), but the sandwich was delicious. Some people complain about messy food, but hell, if it's good enough, you can wipe my face with it and I'm not going to think any less of it. I loved every bite of this sandwich, and it was big enough to take half of it home for later. It made an awesome drunk 1 a.m. snack that night. The duck fat fries are pretty good too and the garlic mayo dip they brought out with them was awesome. It made for a tasty and very satisfying lunch, and I'll be going back again sometime.

Bruce A.

I had the duck fat fries and the lowcountry cuban sandwich. It was greasy, glorious, and delicious. Based on the taste of food and the speed of service alone, this would be 5 stars. But the parking is lacking, the food menu is small, and the prices are slightly high. Based on the people who were there this is clearly a destination for hipsters and the atmosphere is very divey. Location near the coliseum was convenient to a stingrays minor league hockey game I attended: I ate here before the game. Its also near the airport, so convenient for your last meal in Charleston.

Awesome place. The food there is wonderful. The atmosphere is fun. It's in a hidden spot and that's what makes the food better. The duck sandwich is wonderful.

Paul D.

Very good not great, and stuck between a 3 and 4 star. Certainly a dive, with sharpie artwork all over the wall and tables. A bar goes along the back of the wall, high and low top tables scattered, and a small patio outside. As soon as I walk in, I can smell the grease. They need to clean and change their oil. Anyway, we showed up pretty much right when they opened for lunch, and were seated right away. Though the place was full 20 minutes after opening. Always a good sign for a local dive. Table service seemed busy, but on top of things for the moment. Though once the place filled up, the service slowed. No problem. The kitchen seems really small, and can not keep up with all the people here. A couple of the bartenders seemed a little surly. They are known for their duck club sandwich, and fries made in duck oil. Which is what I had. The club sandwich is huge. I won't need to eat for the rest of the day. The fries are limp and soggy. They obviously don't double fry them, or let them dry after soaking in water. The club is this huge monster of a thing soaked in grease. Mounds of duck confit, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The toast is soaked through with grease, oil, and globs of mayo. Not to mention the mayo based aoli sauce on the side. This is a heart attack, and impossible to eat. The duck is very good, but as a sandwich...arg this is frustrating to eat. A few local Charleston beers on tap, as well as a few nice offerings in bottles, and cheep macros. All things to all people on the beer front, and a full bar. Certainly a place I would like to come back to. The food is good, if a bit flawed. Change the oil for crying out loud. It seems their appearance on Diners, Drive Inns, and Dives has done this place good. It is basically packed from the get go. A nice spot, which I will continue to support when I can. Though, there are some other places I like better in this wonderful town. I guess that just speaks to the quality of food options here.

It's a bar that makes some of the best sandwiches you will ever taste. I had the Duck Club sandwich and I must say that i'm in love. I also had the duck fat fries with a side of gravy. I didn't care for the gravy, but the fries are fantastic. It was so good, and so rich that my friend has banned me from coming back for a month. She said I will need that amount of time to work off all the duck fat. It's kinda small and if you go during the lunch rush prepare for a wait. The upside is that the kitchen is open till 1 am. A person could do a lot of damage eating that good late at night. I will be anxiously waiting out my ban so that I can try something else on the menu. Oh yeah, it's a bar too.

Great atmosphere, we started with the duck fat fries and the wings during happy hour and they were excellent. Our table sampled the Duck Club and the Lucky #1, and both were amazing. A little outside downtown, but worth the short drive.

I've had a couple really unpleasant experiences here as a vegetarian - one time they basically told me they have nothing that isn't fried in duck fat, and the other time I had them take the meat out of a breakfast bowl style dish, and they made no effort to add extra potatoes or anything, so the meal overall was just sad and tiny and expensive. Super lame.

Great food. Don't go though if you need vegetarian options. Can be crowded, because it is so good and popular. Nice place for late night hanging out.

Been here twice on the recommendation of a friend who used to live here and this was one of our favorite places in Charleston. We were able to try three things here: (1) Duck Club - this is a MUST HAVE. I posted a picture and that describes it more than I can in words. It is simply amazing. (2) Wings - during happy hour they are .50 each and they were huge! Not the best wings ever but I got 8 and was very full. (3) Duck fat fries - some of the best fries I've ever eaten. If you haven't have potatoes fries in duck fat you are missing out on life. Sorry. (4) Lucky #1 sandwich - this is the one with the pork belly and house made kimchee. It was solid but a but too complex for me. Its' good but just too many flavors for me. I wanted to taste the kimchee and the pork belly, but together with a bunch of other things and duck fat fries in the middle...flavor overload. Overall. This is a must do if you visit Charleston. It's close to the airport also so give it a go.

Where to start??? The atmosphere was dive-y and the neighborhood just sketchy enough so you felt like a rebel - but not so sketchy that you thought twice about getting out if your car. The basket of blue cheese and roasted garlic duck fat fries was beyond delicious. I can never eat just a regular old basket of fries again. My brisket sandwich was perfect- not too dry, not too saucy. My mother got the duck BLT- it, too, was as good as advertised. Sometimes restaurants get over-hyped and turn out to be disappointments. Not so with this place.... It is as good as you've heard.

What a great place! Definitely will be back. Had the Brunswick stew and duck club. Bite were absolutely delicious. My cohort tried the thanksgiving sandwich and couldn't stop talking about it either.

Great place to grub in an interesting part of town. The duck fat fries did not disappoint. I suggest having a pbr with your mean in a place like this!

I came here with the intent on ordering the duck club and fries with blue cheese, so the small menu had no impact on me. I would have liked to see maybe a few more options though, and I usually don't say that! My mom was in the mood for a vegetarian option that wasn't portobello, (just because she wasn't in the mood for meat) but she ordered the wings and ended up saying they were some of the best she'd ever had! The duck club lived up to it's expectations. Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The bread really made it. Fries were very good as well. Would definitely recommend! Also, I got there during the week on a Wednesday around 1pm, and there was no wait.

The duck club sandwich is so dang good...one of my favorite sandwiches anywhere. It's plenty big enough for two if you're not too hungry. It's a messy sandwich so be prepared ahead of time for that...I had to eat parts of it with a fork and definitely needed my share of napkins. The wide amazing tastes in every bite made up for the fact it was a messy sandwich that's for sure. The atmosphere of the place is definitely more dive bar than anything else. The duck fat fries are also great.
(5)
Joe Mike T.

For what this place is, a dive bar, it is unbeatable in Charleston. The best happy hour by far. 50 cent wings. $2 for a big basket of duck fat fries w/ garlic aeoli. $2 PBRs. My wife and I can both eat our fill and drink two tall boys each and w/ a 25% tip our bill is about $20. Try the Duck club, best $14 you'll spend on a gourmet sandwich. Weird, friendly staff, nice patio area and board games. An ideal place to go for a laid back time that doesn't break the bank.

It's like your local pub got violated by a high end restaurant then 9 months later the Tattooed Moose was born. Pure gaspub with all the trimmings. Cool staff. Plenty of freedom to leave your mark on the bar. Perfect relaxed post work spot topped of with quality grub.

OMG, yum. Okay, so maybe this isn't the cleanest, most welcoming place ever, and maybe the scribbles on the wall are a bit tacky and oftentimes inappropriate, but whatever--their food is good. After reading several reviews, I knew I just HAD to order the duck fat fries and duck club. The duck fat fries were pretty good--hand cut, and there is a slight crisp to some of the pieces. We ordered a side of the duck fat gravy and honestly, it is pretty salty and lifeless, so I would save a couple of bucks and skip that. We ended up just dipping our fries in ketchup instead to add some excitement. And then....The Duck Club. I am not lying when I say I finished my entire first half without putting it down, not once. It was easily one of the best club sandwiches I have ever enjoyed. I can't exactly point out what makes their duck club so wonderfully awesome, but I didn't have much time to ponder this between my excited bites. The ingredients are fresh, the duck is plentiful, the sauce is just right....oh and the bread is even perfectly soft and delicious without being too soft. For $13 a pop and no side, I thought this was expensive at first but I would gladly eat a hundred more of these. Oh and my boyfriend had the burger, and he loved that as well. Try the duck club!!!

Stopped in for New Year's Day brunch and enjoyed the duck club. It is easily shared and I removed the center slice of bread to make it the perfect size. Excellent sandwich! The fries were good hot but when they cooled down became rock hard. The grits were good as were the baked beans. I had my mimosa without OJ and the cost was the same. Love it. The Bloody Mary was good and the homemade pickles were tasty. Good service even though they were slammed.

I've been here a few times for a late lunch so its always been kinda dead, so I've never had to wait for a table or for service. It's a really divey bar that happens to serve some de-lic-ous pub food. The atmosphere is reminiscent of someones really cool man-cave basement that has a huge bar. There are taxidermy animal heads on the wall and a smattering of arcade games. I prefer to eat outside on their patio if possible. I'm sorry to say that I've never had the Duck Club and have always defaulted to the Smoked Chicken Salad BLT, which is no less calorie dense than the Duck Club, I'm sure. This is no hum-drum sandwich. I dream about this chicken salad sometimes, no joke. One time when I was trying to eat healthier I got the Santa Fe Salad, which was surprisingly awesome for a bar. I always, no matter what, get the duck fat fries with the garlic aioli. Fried fat and creamy fat = nom arghnom nooommm. One basket of fries is really enough for two people so be aware of this when ordering. I've heard they are contemplating opening a second location in a place that really needs it....Jennifer, please, please, please make that North Charleston or Goose Creek... we are dying up here without duck fat fries!

Duck Confit Club- LOVED IT! I wanted to go back and get another one the next day. Almost did. The duck fat fries were great! They make their own kimchi for their BBQ sandwich. We'll have to try that next. I think this will be the first stop, the next time we come to Charleston. These people are serious food people. The waiters and waitresses were terrific. Very fun. BTW- duck fat is a healthy fat, people. It is a stable fat at high temps and that stability is what you need when eating deep fried foods. Vegetable oil will make you sick. (This is in response to some other reviews.) A VERY satisfying meal. Felt great after eating it! Healthy fast food. Awesome!

Jonathan Z.

How can you go wrong with duck fat everything. Although, the sandwich I had with pork belly and house made kimchi, then grilled, is simply one of the most memorable sandwiches I have ever eaten. Whoa...though if you are looking for anything remotely healthy, this isn't your place. They have a dessert called the Moose Pie which is peanut butter/banana mousse sandwiched between 2 Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies. Enough said about the cardiac intervention you might require if you eat here a lot.

The Smoked Chicken BLT is off the hook in this joint! My husband and son get the Duck Club and rave about it. I did try it but my love affair with that BLT won't allow me to cheat.

First time at the Moose today and it was for lunch. I must say "WOW!". The duck fat fries with the spicey mayo side were fantastic. Loved the Low Country Cuban with the Mojo sauce for dipping and the Pastrami was great with the mustard. Altho it wasn't on rye, that was fine by us; we're not big rye fans so between the buttered bread, the pastrami, and the mustard. Perfection. Definitely recommond for a great samdwiich and a good beer!

For what this place is, there's not a thing I can complain about. Yes, I saw this joint on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. What can I say? I'm a Food Network whore. I went into Tattooed Moose today (a Tuesday) a little after noon and it was packed, a waiting list of about 20 minutes. The hostess, who was perfectly kind and helpful, said she could add me to the list or I could take a seat at the bar, pointing out two she spotted. I said thanks then took the stool on the end of the bar, by the kitchen entrance. With a full counter, the bartender was surprisingly sweet and attentive. I ordered a Pluff Mud Porter, brewed by local Holy City Brewing. I'm not big on porters, really, but I do favor a nice dark stout. This brew was right in between, great body and flavor. I believe HCB has a permanent tap at the bar and just rotates the beer seasonally. I'd trust them year-round from that taste. As for food, I went with the "famous" Duck Club. ICANTEVEN. It was phenomenal. Loved it. Could have eaten two. (Don't judge. I was road hungry. Hours of driving does strange things to a stomach.) So for the good service, good booze, great food and fun ambiance, this "dive" gets 5 stars from me. Storytime: I overheard two staff talking--I'm guessing one was the floor manager, the other a waitress--about one of the dishes (the Cuban). The mgr. noticed something about the dish was coming out of the kitchen wrong or sloppy, even though none of the customers had sent the dish back. Instead of not caring, since it didn't seem like any guests minded, the girls brought the issue up with the cooks as an FYI. Regardless of this having nothing to do with me, I was impressed. There's the fifth reason for the fifth star. A staff that cares about more than their tip; they care about the quality of the food and the name of the restaurant.

The duck club and duck fat fries are amazing! This has become our new favorite spot in town! You get a lot of food too, often we can share the sandwich and be full, but it is so good you dont want to share! LOL!

Duck club was huge and good - 13.50 though, the fries were tasty but really greasy, and the biscuit could've been skipped. The garlic pickles were awesome! Nice sized mimosa for $3. Waitress was really cool and didn't charge us for the bacon egg and cheese biscuit which was bland and mushy.

Amarys M.

Almost every friend that I have made since move to Charleston has encouraged me to check out the Tattooed Moose for weekend brunch, and I'm quite glad that I finally did! I came here to escape my family while they were visiting town (and driving me bonkers) for the holidays. It was just what the doctor ordered. The vibe is laid back and hipster-ish (in a cool sort of way). I had a bellini (or two?) and ordered the Duck Hash, while my husband and sister tried out the Garbage Plate. I tasted everything and it was all Mmm Mmm Good! I'll definitely be back to try out the duck club!

Molly J.

One of the best meals I've ever had! Had the duck fat fries with duck gravy and the duck club. So so so flavorful and unique! The atmosphere is quite an experience as well. There is so much to look at and the employees were very nice and overall good/cool people. Will visit again!

Yet another great place Charleston has to offer. Phenomenal food and great beer selection. The happy hour is one of the best around with $2 - 16oz PBR and $2 order of their delicious duck fat fries, which come with a garlic aioli for dipping. It is a small restaurant with wood paneling, wood tables, and barstools for seating. There is also outdoor seating, though its a little cold this time of the year for that. Got here at 6:00 and waited a short bit for a table, but we were able to order a few beers while we waited, and sat down outside. Once seated they were quick to take our order and had great customer service. They have about 20-30 beers to choose from, but the food is what you come for. Their #1 menu item, which you can see from all the reviews, is the duck club with a side of duck fat fries. This sandwich was delicious! Crispy bread, soft warm duck meat, sweet bacon, and full of flavor. However, they have another sandwich on the menu, which was even better in my opinion. The Lucky #1 was a flavor sensation! The homemade kimchi on top of pork belly with a wasabi mayo, combined with the freshness of cucumbers was incredible. Not if, but when I go back, this will be the sandwich I get (I'll just have my wife get the duck club so I can enjoy some of that too). Bottom line, great food, great beer, great atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

Renee J.

Really like their food , However, tonight was a little disappointing . For some reason the fries came out small and did not taste like the regular Duck Fat Fries. Something was off . Plus 8$ for a simple southern and 7drink is way to much to pay . Especially during happy hour. Food is worth it . Drinks NOT!

While vacationing in Seabrook Island, SC, my husband and I decided to use our Food Network app to find an interesting and good place to eat lunch. Visiting the Tattooed Moose was one of the best restaurants we visited in Charleston. I'm so glad we took Guy Fieri of Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives' advice! I loved the "divey" atmosphere with every patron's names etched on the walls, tables and chairs in infamy to the stack of random board games in the corner. After reading past reviews, we just had to try the Duck Club sandwich and the "Lucky #1" sub. The Duck Club is filled with duck con-fit, bacon and cheddar on Hawaiian bread with garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato and red onion. Yes! Please! The duck was so juicy and tender. I didn't want it to end. The "Lucky #1" sub is BBQ braised pork belly topped with house kimchi, tomatoes, cucumbers, crispy onions, cilantro, wasabi mayo and sweet red chili sauce on a toasted roll. Mmmmm. I've never had kimchi before, but the spiciness and tanginess set it off with the sweet chili sauce blend. We shared and devoured both with a side of their hand cut duck fat fries and Charleston's own Holy City Stout. And holy city was it good! Even though we had to be rolled out of there after eating, we had a great time. The atmosphere was cool, the food was excellent and the service was friendly. Thank you Guy!

The duck fries were to die for and the thanksgiving sandwich was just superb. It's a must go! Great beer selection too, and the atmosphere was really fun and hipster/dive bar. Parking was easy and plentiful too, love that.

I can't explain how awesome this place is. The atmosphere is friendly and definitely has a local pub feel that is welcoming and fun. The waitress that took care of my group was very friendly recovered from a small order mix up quickly and even went the extra mile to "take care" of the mistake on our bill. Yes the duck club is phenomenal and its a must for first-timers. And I do stress MUST. Even for some who are a little shy of duck please trust me. You won't regret it. But don't stop there, We had a lucky number 1 and duck fat fries our last time. It was just wonderful, the crunch of the bread, the flavor of the pork with the onions.... It all just melded together into awesome on a plate. Also SC is known for brunches and tattooed moose's Bloody Mary's are just as good as everything else on their menu.... Which is amazing in case you haven't caught that yet. This'll be a weekly visit for me.

This place rocks. Looking for a little "foodie" action in Chucktown? This is your place. It's small and gets crowded in the evenings so I'd suggest getting here early if you want to sit at a table. Great beer selection, and well priced with some great happy hour specials. You must start off with the Pimento cheese. Horseradish, bacon, pimento cheese....with sausage. You've got to be kidding me right? Did they read my mind or something? This stuff is perfection. A must have. Duck club is delicious as advertised. Awesome duck confit on an awesome sandwich. My only complaint was that it was a little messy and hard to eat....but really, who cares? Can't wait to try some of their other stuff, but this is just to good to pass up. Fries. Oh the duck fat fries...how you disappointed me. We were working on a 5 star review and you had to ruin it. First, the fries weren't even good. Stale...they found that perfect middle ground between not being crispy and not being soft. And it's not a good middle ground to be in. Second, they had no flavor. Don't duck fat fries usually have MORE flavor? Not less? Get this one figured out guys, it's not working. Overall and awesome place, I'll be back for sure. But maybe sub my fries for more pimento cheese!

A local friend recommended I stop in here during a recent visit, partly because this spot has gotten some national traction (apparently it's been on one of the food network-y shows). The atmosphere tries real hard to be gritty. It is apparently a popular watering hole out toward the highway, as on Sunday afternoon, nearly everybody in the house had a drink of some sort. The staff was pleasant and the crowd was, despite all the imbibing, tame. I got the smoked pulled chicken salad sandwich with bacon. Mayo was slathered on way too thick (see my uploaded photo), but once I scraped all that off, it was satisfying enough. This was an interesting alternative to the typical Chucktown dining scene. But not sure it's worthy of all the hoopla. Note: parking can be a little challenge, but look around and you should eventually find a spot.

3.5 stars. Know what to expect before you go and you'll enjoy it. Dive bar, not in a great area, great food, just OK service. Don't go there and count calories - it won't work. We started with the Hand Cut Duck Fat Fries which are truly awesome. All the sandwiches are great - no bad items here. I had the Lowcountry Cuban again, excellent. Nicely priced, but not huge portions either. Don't think I'll be a regular but would recommend it to someone who's never been.

Christy K.

My husband really wanted to try the food here before we left the Charleston area. I was just going along because he was excited about it. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent! This is not your typical "dive bar" food. Charleston is one of my favorite cities to visit, but we don't get to visit very often. The food at the Tattooed Moose may help me talk my husband into visiting the area more often!

This place is cool. I was in town working at the port and Yelped it to find a place to eat lunch. This was just up the road so I said why not. Turns out it was a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives stop. The decor is funky and unique, waitstaff are young and friendly, and the place is popular with locals and tourist judging by the dress of the clientele. I got there just after 1130 and it was a good thing. That place got busy quick. Since I was solo I sat at the bar. Asked for some recommendations, was suggested the club or thanksgiving sandwich. I got the Cuban. Had to. Well, it was a great choice, spicy sweet ham, fresh pork, Swiss, pickles, mojo for dipping. Only ate half the sandwich. Their claim to fame is apparently duck fat fries so I got some as a side. Comes with a garlic dipping sauce that was pretty tasty but they're good fries. Thin and crisp. Not sure what difference the duck fat made, but whatever it is they're good. They have a good beer menu but it was not a time to explore it. I'd say I'd go back if given he opportunity. Oh, and the green tomato pickles were good too. Sweet tea was perfect.

The Yelp mobile app led me here and I'm delighted it did. If you're looking for a new dive bar experience, you'll find it here. I travel all over the country on business and I seek out interesting dive bars and I loved this place. The walls are covered with funky taxidermy with the legendary moose as the centerpiece. This is definitely a rough-around-the-edges kind of place. It looks a little beat up in a good way. When I visited there were half a dozen folks sitting at the bar. Clearly the drink of choice was shots and beer. This is one of those places where if the bartender is good, and mine was, you buy her a shot. If the waitress is within sight, what the hell; buy her a shot also. Are you starting to get the picture? This is dive bar drinking at its best. Many of the reviews rave about the Duck Club and the Duck Fat Fries. I'm not a duck kind of guy so I passed. I ordered the Lowcountry Cuban with Roasted Pork, Ham, Swiss, Sweet & Spicy Green Tomato Pickles, and Spicy Brown Mustard pressed on a Buttered Roll. It cost me $7.75 and tasted fine. The menu makes it sound like you're getting gastro pub level food and that is a little misleading. Expect solid bar food but not a gourmet experience. This is a great place if you just need to have a few drinks and unwind!

It was our first time in, and we were definitely very pleased with every part of our experience! Duck Fat Fries were everything Guy said they would be, the staff was incredibly nice, and we met nearly all of them while we were there! The only reason it's not 5 stars is that we had a habanero pepper slipped under one of our sandwiches, which caused for quite the unwelcome surprise. Luckily none of us were allergic, and the person I was with whose sandwich it was under could handle the burn! Everyone was very apologetic, I would just suggest looking under your meal before you enjoy! Great place!

Tattooed Moose has been featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" and few would contend that this place is anything other than a dive. I recently ventured to Tattooed Moose for Sunday Brunch after reading the stellar reviews on Yelp; unfortunately, the tattoo needle must have been misaligned, as my experience was largely underwhelming. Food: Tattooed Moose specializes in cheap American bar fare. Their claim to fame is the "Duck Club", which is essentially a duck confit sandwich with smoked apple and cheddar cheese on Hawaiian bread. In hindsight, I should have ordered this; however, I was ultimately lured away by the peanut butter and french toast that was featured on the brunch menu. In theory, this dish had the potential to be absolutely epic; in reality, it was two depressing slices of wonder bread stuffed with government peanut butter and accompanied by two gristly pieces of bacon. Fortunately, the dish was preceded by an order of the roasted garlic and blue cheese duck fat fries, which were glorious; the dish was served with a whole bulb of confit garlic, which the staff prompted you to squeeze over the fries prior to eating. Service: Although the staff were incredibly friendly, the service was abominable. It didn't appear that a single waiter was responsible for each table, as we had three different staff members service the table at varying periods throughout the meal. On several occasions, nearby diners actually got up from their tables to either obtain their check or to request condiments and drink refills. The surprising aspect of it all was that the staff really didn't seem to be phased by the fact that patrons were resorting to serving themselves. Atmosphere: There isn't much ambience at this place, but it's the perfect location for a drink or to watch a sporting event. The do have an outdoor patio, but the restaurant is located in an industrial area on the outskirts of downtown Charleston, so there isn't much to be seen. Unfortunately, those wishing to dine on the outdoor patio are also subjected to the parade of smokers puffing away along its exterior. Cost: Mostly inexpensive. Appetizers are between $4 and $7, while sides are around $2. Specialty sandwiches and brunch options are mostly $7 to $8; however, the infamous "duck club", which isn't accompanied by any sides, is a whopping $13.50. Other: There are multiple free parking options in and around Tattooed Moose. However, whatever you do, don't park in the mechanic shop lot to the right of the restaurant; apparently there isn't a very cordial relationship between the establishments and the mechanic shop will have your car towed, even during non-business hours.

This was our first time eating here since over a year ago. We experienced the worst service last time and this was for a to go order. We were completely ignored and there were about 6 or 7 staff members. But after being ignored for about 15-20 minutes, someone actually decided to help us. But today was different, and we decided to eat in instead of ordering to go. Business was pretty slow and the promptness and delivery of our food were pretty quick! Our server was nice and attentive and the food was good! We always get the Roasted Garlic Bleu Cheese Fries and the Mike's Famous Duck Club Sandwich. I love how their fries are cooked in duck fat. I devoured the roasted garlic bulb that came with it since I am a garlic fanatic. Their Duck Club sandwich is huge, but the duck was a little on the dry side and the bread was extremely thin. I actually like their BBQ Baked Beans since it compliments well with the Duck Club sandwich! The prices are slightly pricey since the sandwich itself was $13, but will definitely try something else when we return.

Love the Tattooed moose. We have been several times but our most recent experience was for brunch. I got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit which was executed flawlessly. The biscuit was HUGE, buttery and flaky. The bacon was crispy and the egg cooked perfectly. I got a side of grits which were fresh and the perfect amount of buttery/cheesey/salty. They make a great Bloody Mary which pared perfectly. The service could not be more attentive and friendly. They enjoy their job and you can tell.

LOVED the food, drinks and atmosphere. What a lovely place to go to on a Sunday night. We went at 9 pm. One of a few places open at night on a Sunday. The duck sandwich and duck fat fries are amazing. Homemade pickles and picked tomatoes are delicious as well. Parking was not an issue for us bc of the time. Highly recommend.

After seeing this place on a Diners, Drive Ins and Dived we made a point to stop in while in Charleston for a cruise. It absolutely lived up to our expectations! From the small dive atmosphere and friendly staff to the great food and good prices, we became instant fans! I had the chorizo philly and it was delicious. The fries were great, too! If we find ourselves back in the area, we would definitely be back to try more of their yummy goodies!

Small place that doesn't offer a great deal of parking, but the food was awesome. Had two meals today in town and both were great. Got the duck club and the French fries with gravy. My wife and I shared a chocolate-bacon pie. The pie was alright, but it was the sandwich and fries that really stuck out. If you're looking for some high quality bar food, this is the place. This meal likely took a few weeks off of my life, but I'm not doing much of anything important anyway so I'm alright with it.

I fell in love with Tattooed Moose as soon as I saw the menu, but it was even better than I expected when I actually got the chance to go. In fact, I made a point to go back during a quickie weekend trip despite all the other amazing food on offer in Charleston, SC because the place is just that awesome! The ambiance is very low key with a generous splash of artistic humor (e.g., sunglasses on the taxidermy, giant acorn bar lighting, graffittied jenga). The service is very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a few different servers and they were consistently passionate about the restaurant and the food, which was pretty awesome! The food is first class and justifiably hyped with several must-order items: 1. Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries ($8.50) - hand cut duck fat fries smothered in blue cheese with a whole bulb of roasted garlic. The way to eat the garlic is to squeeze all the garlic out of the cloves and mix it into the cheese and fries. Eat quickly if there are other people at the table. Believe me when I say it'll be gone before you know it! 2. Mike's Famous Duck Club ($13.50) - big and bad a$$ with lots of succulent duck meat, apple smoked bacon, smoked cheddar and garlic aioli on sweet Hawaiian bread. Unless you are incredibly hungry, I'd recommend sharing an order with another person. Between the sandwich and the fries, you'll have a truly memorable meal! PARTING THOUGHT: Parking is a bit tricky in the back as a few spaces are reserved. Be sure to check the signs to make sure that you won't be towed. You can also park along the road in front if there are spaces available.

This was always one of our Favorite places to go and eat. Very dissapointed in our last visit. Service was terrible. We ordered a basket of the duck fries and the waitress brought us this handful of happy hour fries in a basket that were flavorless. They also brought out the pickled tomatoes, but we're were the sandwiches. When the sandwiches arrived they had nowhere the meat on them that they use to. Also prices have been creeping up. I guess money has to go to the new place. Was so hoping to take friends there when they visit this month, but looks like we will be looking for another place

We are here on vacation and were simply searching Yelp for a lunch spot. We arrived around 1:30 and were seated. The waitress was friendly and recommended Mikes Famous Duck Club and a basket of Duck Fat fries. I need to first confess that I'm not a huge fan of duck, but she was convincing and my fiancÃ© and I ended up ordering 2 duck clubs. It was possibly the best sandwich we have ever had and the fries were amazing. Needless to say we will try to eat there one more time before we leave. I would highly recommend. The only think I can say is seating is somewhat limited so be prepare to wait for a few minutes.

I was fortunate enough to get to go to Charleston, SC with a dear friend this week. I only had 2 requests: 1, I wanted to stick my toes in the Atlantic, and 2, I wanted to try out the Tattooed Moose. The Atlantic thing I had done before... but the Moose I had only seen on TV and the internet. OMG where has this food been all of my life? We arrived after the "lunch rush" (around 2pm). The restaurant wasn't "packed" but it was fairly busy. Also, this place is MUCH smaller inside than it appears on TV! No worries though. I wanted to try EVERYTHING on the menu - but since that isn't possible, my friend and I each ordered a different sandwich and shared half. We also shared a basket of the duck fat fries. YUM - but WAY too many for 2 people to eat. We shared a "Lucky #1" and a very big burger (with added pork belly). I have determined that pork belly, prepared as they do at the Moose, should be an essential food group. Seriously. My mouth is watering just thinking about it 3 days later. It is succulent, flavorful, tender, juicy, and totally foodgasmic. Since everyone and their brother has written novellas about the sandwiches (and rightly so!) I think I'll comment on another item... the pickles they make there. Green tomato pickles... nice and zippy, and vinegary, and YUM! The green tomato pickles were still firm... but PERFECTLY brined. I asked if they jarred them to sell. They don't. Yet. We also shared a cup of the smokey tomato soup. Very VERY good. Smokey, a little spicy, and full of flavor. Tastes like it is infused with Chorizo. Yeah, it works. :) They also have about a zillion different beers. I'm not a big beer drinker, but if you are, I would imagine they have a few choices for you. Would I go back? Hell yes. I'd be back there this afternoon if it weren't such a long drive (I'm in Georgia). Go. Bring friends. Share the fries. And think about me when you get to eat the pork belly. Sigh.

Duck fat fries with gravy Turkey Sammy Duck club Super Dive-y but definitely a go-to sandwich joint in Charleston.

Decided to try this with the family. We were able to get a table right away, but it filled up quickly while we were there. I have to say the food is okay. Not really as spectacular as the reviews had me believe. My burger was good. It's hard to mess that up. Husband had the club which was also good but not great and my son had the Cuban which he did say was a wonderful sandwich. Very disappointed in the fries. Tasted like greasy soggy regular french fries. I do have to say the garlic aioli is fantastic. It's the only thing that made the fries taste good. Not someplace I would return to again.

Got my Yelp check in free fist bump from the very nice bartender. I had the duck club sandwich and it was worth the visit even though we had to take the food to go. Not as bad a neighborhood as some say, but don't get dressed up!

Maria B.

Awesome food! The bf wanted to try this place after seeing it on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We shared a basket of the Roasted Garlic and Bleu Cheese Duck Fat Fries and each ordered Mike's Famous Duck Club sandwich. For the basket of fries, we were told to squeeze the roasted garlic's juice all over the fries. The fries were fresh. I loved the bleu cheese along with it. The duck club was really good. They use Hawaiian bread for it which was a nice touch. The duck was yummy. It was difficult to keep it all together though, probably because of the bread. It was a big sandwich for me but I was able to finish it. I noticed an aftertaste with the bread which slowed me down towards the end. Nonetheless, really enjoyed the food. We went for dinner with minimal lighting inside. We ate at the bar to be closer to the TV which had no sound or closed captioning.. So don't expect to enjoy anything they have on besides sports. The guy who was bar tending and taking our orders was cool. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service and would come back again.

Amy Yvonne H.

Get the duck club! It's enough for 2 people especially if you get an appetizer. I'd recommend the garlic fries. You get fresh cooked bulbs of garlic on top! The service is good. The menu is small. The music is loud. The food is delicious & unique! The atmosphere is divey. Come here for a good beer and unique bar food. Don't come here looking for peace of quiet and healthy food. This place is also dog friendly with a patio and hosts great events and bands!

Very cool place and good food. Cuban was excelente; rueben was said to be sehr gut. Duck fat fries were nothing special but still good. Good selection of bottle beer and fair selection on tap, craft et. al. Service was great and very charming.

Jo M.

I guess the thing to order here was the duck club?? I didn't get the memo... opted for the pork belly kimchi sub and I was not disappointed. It's probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Service was friendly. Would eat here again if I'm ever back in Charleston.

If you do nothing else while in Charleston, you must make sure to stop in at the Tattooed Moose. When you walk in you are greeted by moose heads hanging from the walls and pinball machines next to tables. My girlfriend and I walked in to a nearly capacity crowd and were lucky enough to find one open table in the place. We were quickly attended to by our waitress who a few minutes later brought us our cold, tall boy cans of cider. After hearing about the famous duck confit sandwich and duck fat fries, we really didn't need menus as we knew exactly what to order. Lets just say that this sandwich lives up to every bit of hype it receives. Loaded with meaty duck, bacon, mayo, lettuce and tomato, it makes for a mouthful of flavor. The duck fat fries were above average but wouldn't go as far as to say the best I've ever had. On the other hand, the duck confit sandwich is hands down the best sandwich I have ever eaten.

- Greeted by an unenthusiastic waitress. - Ordered the nation wide famous duck club, as seen on tv, and it came out in no more than 3 minutes (this is not a positive thing). - Duck was ridiculously dry. - Bread is too thin, and/or not toasted enough, to r

Great atmosphere for a laid back lunch on Sunday after a long Saturday night. Had the duck confit club, which was in short amazing. I really enjoyed the duck confit take on a club and it paired nicely with the duck fat fries. They have a pretty good beer selection and I had an IPA (cannot recall exactly which), which went nicely with the amount of fat in the meal. Highly recommend as a great place to hang out and eat some confit.

Karen G.

What I had - Duck Club & Duck Fat Fries. Based on several other yelp reviews that I read, I decided that I had to try the duck club & fries... and I was not disappointed! The duck club was quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had!! Duck confit, applewood bacon, garlic aioli, toasted sweet hawaiian bread, lettuce/tomato/onion.... every aspect of this sandwich was by itself delicious, and when put together was AMAZING. I am not normally a fry person, but I ordered it with the Duck Fat Fries after seeing such great reviews about them, and I was not let down. They were delicious, and were served with more of the garlic aioli that was on the club, and the side of aoili included a roasted garlic clove hiding out like a treasure to discover halfway through eating your fries (if you can't tell, I'm a garlic lover). Duck and bacon and garlic and all sorts of goodness were in this sandwich, and it was nothing short of orgasmic. I will definitely be heading straight to this place next time I am in the area.

I cannot express how much I enjoyed my experience at Tattooed Moose. If you are ever in Charleston, and you need a good meal, this is one of those places. The service was better than most places in Nashville, but they went out of their way to make us feel at ease and comfortable. The recommendations made by a kind gentleman behind the bar were spot-on, and they even let us try some of the add-ons to make sure we wouldn't find ourselves hating a meal we ordered. We had wanted to go to a more popular spot, but this was the best option. Get the Duck Fries. Get the Duck Confit Club. If my experience was any indication, you will not be disappointed.

We went to the Tattooed Mooe because we saw it on The Food Network and was impressed by the show. When we walked into the restaurant/bar I was disappointed. It wasn't what I thought it was going to look like. I forgot the name of the show and quickly remembered it's a dive bar. My dissapointment quickly faded when we were greeted by our waitress. She was very nice and made us feel comfortable. We had the Lowland Cuban sandwhich, Buffalo Wings and Duck Fries. They were all excellent. The longer I was there the more I liked it. I would highly recommend this place. Next time I'm going to try the famous Duck Club sandwhich.

Nicol S.

Great barfood, especially the duck fat fries. I have been here at least a dozen times and never ordered anything but the burger. I am sure their other food is good too, but why mess with what works. I do have to say that the pickled green tomatos are to die for. The atmosphere is great too, it's bluesy and has that southern rock feel. Over my last burger here the Black Keys and Johnny Cash serenaded me.

Anastasia M.

The atmoshere is funky, don't be in a hurry... With that being said, it is soooooooooo worth it! A question on here is what would you want to eat for your last meal and my answer is : Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries from the Tattooed Moose. They are soooooooooooooo good that I accidently almost slapped the waitresses hand when she tried to take the basket away :) OOOPS! If you have not been, GO GO GO! It is fun and memorable all in one. Bring a sharpie and sign a table, next time we will! Keep up the awesome job!

So, this is a bit of a "dive bar" but it rocks nonetheless. Very nice, casual atmosphere, great food and drinks. I got the thanksgiving inspired sandwich and was blown away by the luscious goodness of it! My hubs got the cuban sandwich which he also enjoyed. This place may be a hole in the wall type of joint but damn that food is goooooooooooooood!

I usually turn to my fellow Yelpers to help me find a pick a good restaurant, this time they let me down!!! I found the TM OK but not great, the fries way over cooked ( I even had to have them remake). I had the garlic blue cheese fries and it wasn't that good and the tastes were overwhelming because of too much blue cheese melted everywhere on the fries. The duck sandwich good but not the best sandwich ever as menu and fellow Yelpers implied. The cheese sandwich wasn't that good either. I would avoid your kids using the rest rooms as they have numerous vulgar writings on the walls. It has all the makings to be a great find and maybe others wrote their reviews after one too many of their ale's?!

The duck sandwich and duck fat fries were to DIE for. Yes, that sounds like a lot of duck for one meal, but Oh. Em. Gee. Unreal.
(4)
John B.

Food was above average, but the ambience leaves a lot to be desired. They're clearly aiming for the "dive" look, the problem is that they were too successful. The place really is a dive, with graffiti on every surface, most of it coarse enough that you wouldn't want your children reading it, and it's very dirty inside. We saw many flies. Overall, I don't think the food is good enough to overcome the ambience.

I have visited the Tattooed Moose twice and both times enjoyed the duck club. As stated by other reviewers, the service can be slack even when there isn't a big crowd. I was not impressed with the fries or the slaw. Both were bland and slaw was not fresh at all. However they do have a decent selection of beers. I recommend checking out this place at least once. And if you aren't from the area, you would probably be better off going during the day since it is in sketchy part of town.

Don't even know how to begin about how awesome this place was. I found it here on yelp...we drove out to it for dinner on a Thursday night (it is a bit off the beaten "downtown Charleston" path) and it was PACKED. An hour wait. Sadly, we left as one of our party tends to get cranky pants if he has to wait for too long. We came back the next day for lunch. SO glad we decided to come back and try it. I had the Cuban Sandwich with the duck fat fries. DELICIOUS. I love cuban sandwiches and they're pretty hard to really screw up but they're also hard to make stand out. The one at the Moose was probably tops on my list. Tons of meat without being dry (due to the amazing buttered roll) and so big. I was in heaven. My husband got their famous duck club. Also WOW. He is not a big duck guy but he loved it. Honestly, one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted. Again..HUGE serving. I also topped off my meal with the bread pudding (cinnamon AND chocolate?!?!) that was pretty good as well! I also liked the atmosphere. A good mix of locals with some tourists to be found. Our server was pretty cool and helpful. I don't recommend you try this place. I INSIST. You're really missing out if you don't go here.

As a person who lives by Detroit and frequents its bars, this is the one restaurant/bar in Charleston that reminds me of home. This is a little of the beaten path for the tourists but it is well worth the drive, the duck club maybe my favorite sandwich in the world. I also love the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich too. Great place for lunch.

I have died and gone to heaven...the french fries (cooked in duckfat) are otherworldly. Add blue cheese, and a head of roast garlic, and they are better than sex. The sandwhiches are top notch and always changing. Be sure to have the duck confit sandwhich. The guinness is great, and the $10 buckets of moosehead a steal. The decor and atmosphere are great, with a nice diverse crowd. This is fast becoming my favorite hangout.

R J.

Really good for a place that comes across as a dive bar. I've had the duck club sandwich, which was excellent, as well as the lucky # 1, which is a bahn mi type sandwich. It was great as well. The fries are fried in duck fat, which is probably not the healthiest option, but damn they're good. My wife has had the burger, which she really liked, She's also had the "after thanksgiving sandwich", which she said was great the first time, but lousy the second time because the bread was cold and everything was crumbled on the sandwich. Nonetheless, I like the place so I'm giving it 5 stars.

2nd time I have eaten there and each time it has been bad. This time there were only people at the bar, doing shoots with the staff, and only two tables with people. So it wasn't very busy but it took over 45 min for me to get my appetizer. I had the duck fries with blue cheese and garlic... They were awful! The blue cheese sauce had no flavor and the fries were soaking wet. I got in my car and headed down the road for my main course!

E K.

Great food, great beer list. We had burgers and the duck fat fries which were really good. Great selection of beers and other drinks. The decor is... interesting. Graffiti is encouraged in the bathrooms and on the tables. Fun place to hang out on a week night or after a night of drinking, especially with the board games they provide. Not a place for health food and not a place for a romantic date.

What a great place! Definitely a dive, moreso the outside than in. Drawings on table are colorful and not for kids. Fries with blue cheese and roasted garlic is a must and we enjoyed everything that we ordered... Reuben, Cuban, Moose Burger, and Chowder. We looked longingly at the neighboring tables' duck club and are currently waiting for the bread pudding to arrive. We anticipate being pleased!

Run away! The worst meal I ever had! The music was so loud we couldn't talk to each other at our table -- the waiter said they wouldn't turn it down because "the owner likes it that way. Ordered a duck confit sandwich. The first was burned so I sent it back. The second was loaded with melted cheese which I peeled off -- the only thing edible was the duck, which I pulled out and ate. We also ordered duck fat fries. They were so laden with salt we were trying to scrape the salt off; finally gave up after the three of us ate a handful of fries. Gross!

Mike G.

My friend and I had a delicious meal however our waiter was more interested in hanging out with his friends then helping us at all. When we asked for menus he pointed to where we could get them. It took him 10 minutes to bring us our drinks and we needed to ask another guy who worked there for a second round. But the food was great, five stars if this guy wasn't our waiter.

This place was great! I wish there was a Tattooed Moose in the town I live in. The sandwiches and wraps were fantastic. My husband and I shared the duck club and a California wrap. Both were delicious! I expected a little more from the fries cooked in duck fat. They were hand cut fries drenched in grease. They weren't crispy or as good as I thought they would be. This seems to be a local hot spot. The fire department and several cops were dining in for lunch at the same time we were. The tables were covered in graffiti and my husband said the men's room sported some of the best bathroom graffiti he'd ever seen. :) The music they played (from someone's iPod) was nice and eclectic. The dÃ©cor consisted of mounted deer and moose heads sporting hats, sunglasses, etc. and the obligatory signs for Guinness and various other beers. Speaking of beer, the pints we had were only $2 each. Not bad at all and the selection was nice. The staff was attentive and quirky. We left full and happy. Can't ask for more than that!

Allen R.

Even though this place has been on diners, drive-in's, and dives, I would classify this place as a dive. We got there around 5 pm and sat outside. Waited 15 minutes, not one wait staff would come help us. We go inside and ask if someone can serve us outside. The lady said "no problem." We go back outside and wait another 10 minutes before no one come out. Finally, we go inside and just sit down. Someone finally comes and serves us. I got the duck club with the duck fries. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SPECIAL, especially coupled with really terrible service. I guess Guy get's great service when he goes there but just the average person they acted like they could have cared less if anyone was there. The duck sandwich was just another sandwich that I could have tasted about anywhere. There wasn't any really mind blowing flavors that stood out to me and it was all just piled together. The duck fries are disgusting because they are so greasy and soggy and I can't stand soggy fries. Very, very disappointing place.

This was a little off the beaten path, but I think the Duck Club was worth it. Good combination of ingredients and very tasty. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside where there is much smoking and that I didn't like, but love the sandwich and duck fat fries! And this place is very casual.

Are You Kidding me? I really went with such high expectations but the place just Did Not deliver. It was featured on Diners, drive thrus and Dives as a great place with incredible sandwiches. Namely the Duck Club. Tasted like a BLT with some meat, onion and cheese. $ 13.95 !! Then the famous ff in cooked in duck fat . Limp, and greasy. I have No idea why this has such high ratings!! We also had an $9.00 chicken Salad sandwich that was fine but way overpriced. Service was slow . This little obscure place seems like fun for young kids to drink beer and enjoy but don't make a special trip !

Tattooed Moose...I will NOT tattoo you on me. I was not happy as a vegetarian. Well...not that I expected better, but it would have been nice to actually get my grilled cheese that I had ordered. So first off, this place is like a local college hang out....well at least that's what it looks like. Second of all this place sucks for vegetarians....but I get that here and there...whatever....I should have known what I was getting myself into. Third of all, please at least remember that I had ordered some food if I finally figure out what I want from the vegetarian-stingy menu...please and thank you. I ordered the Breckenridge vanilla porter and that was pretty good and I asked the server to get me a grilled cheese. He asked me if I would like the alternative side since I am a vegetarian which was the cilantro lime slaw instead of the beans and I said that was fine. My beer was almost done and I had waited for 45 minutes so I asked the server for my bill to see if he had actually rung up my food...and low and behold....no food...womp womp....so I left hungry and with just a beer in my belly...no bueno....tattooed moose...you are no bueno....

I just didn't get it. Parking is a pain in the buttocks. The staff is marginally interested. The food prices are $1 or more higher than what is shown on the website. It wasn't bad, but not worth the effort to get there.

Get the duck confit club!! Don't be turned off by the fact that the place looks like a dive bar. The food is far from ordinary. It's delicious. The lowcountry cuban is good, as is the chicken salad sandwich. It's not your typical chicken salad, it's amazing. Plus, you can play Jenga while you eat! How could you go wrong with that!

Greg E.

If your looking for fine dining....move on. If you want a fantastic sandwich and a beer, this place is it. The duck club is the number one on the menu to try if you have never been here before. I highly recommend to bring a friend and get two different sandwiches and share. Don't forget to grab a basket of duck fries with gravy to go with your meal.

I stumbled upon this joint while heading downtown, and I really liked the local, not so uppity vibe. It reminded me a lot of the typical low-key sports bar, with a unique grub menu to boot. TM was my first food/drink experience in Charleston, so I was super pumped to get my gut filled with some booze and fat-laden substances. Mmm-mmm. Get ready to be loosened, belt. Sadly, I was disappointed with the food. I went with the appealing duck fat fries with gravy and the chocolate-cinnamon bread pudding. The food was affordable, but a bit lacking in execution. The fries were soggy. Sure, some people enjoy the floppy fry, but I prefer my fries crisp. Size and cut is not too important. The runny gravy was solid, but simple and salty. The bread pudding was a somewhat dense and tough French Toast. The chocolate flavor stood out, but I would have preferred less chocolate and more cinnamon. Yes, TM is more of a bar, but they seem to take pride in their food menu, and I did not find it particularly outstanding. Get a beer, have a snack, and enjoy the vibe here. Cheers.

This is not a place I would bring my grandparents or kids but it is a great dive bar. Get the duck club and the duck fat fries because let's be honest you can never have too much duck. They also have a great selection of craft beers. Be prepared to have leftovers as the sandwich is huge but for $13 it should be.

This place rocks! Think dive bar with an outside deck and yummy food. Best of the menu: the duck club. It's amazing. They have a killer happy hour too with $2 duck fat fries, $2 corn dog basket, and $6 High Life pitchers. Perhaps my favorite feature: delightfully strange taxidermy all over the place. Don't miss the two little squirrels dressed as a cowboy and war hero above the bar.

We made a special trip here after seeing it on triple D, and boy were we glad, everything about this place was terrific.The service was great, friendly staff, great food but above all that Duck Club was by far the best damn sandwich I have ever had. So much so that on our way out of town we picked up another one for the flight home

Todd S.

When Charleston's own guitar legend, Sadler Vaden, recommended this place to me, he merely uttered "duck confit" and I was sold. I like duck confit the way Sam I Am ended up liking Green Eggs and Ham. And so, I took a trip to see my niece and got the chance to see what was up on what used to be the dodgy end of town. I'm getting a little burned out on the whole cliched "hipster" scene, but one of the great things about hipsters (besides not giving a rat's ass about what tattoo sleeves will look like in 50 years) is that they hang out in places with really good freakin' beer. Tattooed Moose has both a good beer selection and top-notch food. Our table shared a basket (wise move) of the garlic blue cheese fries and I thought that they were pretty mediocre. I did like the bulb of roasted garlic, but the fries were way too limp for me. I've gotta have crispy fries if they're going to get a good review, but the fries were my only gripe. My lovely lady chose the duck club, and I--knowing that we would share--chose the Lucky #1 Sub, which is pork belly with kimchee and some other amazing stuff crammed into a bun. Both sandwiches were absolutely amazing! It was like eating sin on bread. Like the chef knew deep in his soul that he shouldn't put such flavors together, but it was just too damn fun not to. Sin on bread. Eat it up.

Jennifer M.

Wow. As loyal fans of DDD we just had to try the Tattooed Moose. We walked in mid day on a Monday and there was a great lunch crowd and great overall vibe. The place is covered in notes and names from travelers all over. We immediately ordered two local beers (white Thai pale ale) and the Duck club and Cuban sandwich. OMG. The duck club boasts itself to be most possibly the best sandwich you have ever ate. And it was THE best sandwich we ever ate hands down. The Cuban was amazing but the duck club could not be compared to. I don't normally eat duck nor would I ever order it but it was served on soft crispy bread with a mayo aioli and the meat itself was shredded like pulled pork. Magnificent!!. It was a highlight of our trip so much so we recommended it to everyone we met. If you are in or near Charleston you MUST make a lunch stop at the Tattooed Moose or else you really are missing out !

Didn't eat here, but came for beers at the recommendation of the Vikings over at the Beer Exchange. Great little spot in a fantastic location; the decor is modeled in early f***, meaning it's dark and taverny and wonderfully divey, and there's dolla bills ya'll on every surface of the place. Nice beer selection, with a good blend of the dark and heavies (Lagunitas, Epic, Vertical) and some light Belgians and locals. The servers are clever and have a great attitude, even when you're a little hazy and it's 2 am and you're clearly a tourist. Nicely done, guys.

Get the duck fat fries! That is all I have to say, you won't be disappointed :)

Off the beaten path dive bar. Always great beers on tap that they rotate regularly. For brunch, have the Monte Cristo. Any other time, the duck club with a side of duck fat fries is the way to go.

it's almost sad to say that after a year of living in Charleston, SC. I've been saving my reviews, doing edits, revisiting restaurants, and not posted a single one yet. But today, I can resist no longer, I cannot hold back the tidal wave of Omnomnomfrickengoodness (patented) that I experienced at the Tattooed Moose. Charleston, being the food-conscious town that it is, never fails me with fairly accurate reviews of its eateries, and as the area's highest rated restaurant, what was taking me so long to get to the Moose? Well when I want to eat, I've run to Husk, Fig, La Fourchette, Trattoria Lucca, but today I had the opportunity to do a proper lunch, and that's what the Tattooed Moose seemed like to me, just one of those lunch places. But it is more, so much more, so deliciously, savorily, duck-fattily, more. I went in for the signature dishes, the Duck Club, duck fat fries, and a red ale that I've never heard of, and in each inning they scored a home run. Their selection of craft beers is impressive, served cold and refreshing. The signature duck club, with its fairly hefty price tag, seemed like a bet, but one that definitely paid off. It was everything a good meal should be, not just a sandwich. Savory, flavorful, decadent duck confit, cheese and bacon, the crowning glory of any sandwich, 3 floors of toasted, crispy, yet airy bread, and a mouth-watering roasted garlic aoili gave compliment and brightness to all the flavors. It was, in all honesty, the greatest sandwich I've ever had. At one point I found a whole roasted garlic clove in the sandwich, so like a barbarian, I pulled it out, stared it with wide eyes, and said, "Imma eat you". So I did. It was glorious. And the fries, THE FRIES. It was some sort of super-potato hybrid of french fry and kettle chip, and more aoili, AOOOOIIILLLLIIII. (yeah...it was that good). Oh yeah, the green tomato pickles? man...everything in that meal was spot on. This is the joint, this is the jam, this deserves every great praise that's been heaped upon it. You've got me sold Moose, you've got me sold.

Cam based on DDD. Cool spot with a hipster vibe outside of downtown charleston. Great beer selection. Had the duck sandwich which was amazing. Other food items (fries, #1 sandwich, cheese dip) were meh... Worth going for the duck alone.

Duck confit represents and earns all the praise in other reviews. I want to try other items but i would regret not getting the duck if i did. Atmosphere is little scene-y but don't let that intimidate or deter you if you're a square, because the food is worth it. Seems like a good spot to meet up with a small group for some beers at night.

Really terrific off-the-beaten-path dive bar. Crowd can be heavy on the hipsters, but they're usually nice hipsters. :) (and there are worse crowds anyway) Great bar food (reuben was great as well as the fries) and really friendly staff.

I came here for brunch the other day, hearing lots of good things about it, but felt pretty disappointed at my neutral experience. I've been here a few times in the past to drink, but didn't think that I had a good "feel" for the restaurant until I ate here. It seemed that the staff was largely inattentive, when my girlfriend and I showed up, we were just standing around trying to figure out what to do. Nobody told us whether or not we were supposed to seat ourselves, wait a minute, wait a while. Finally, a table got up and they told us we could just take their place. So we sat down and after a while were greeted by our server, who seemed really stressed out. (maybe she had taken too many tables at once? who knows..) While the service was fine, I was a little irritated that I had to ask for a bowl of water for my dog twice, and to two different people (Our server seemed to have completely forgotten that request). The food was good-- I had an egg sandwich, and my friend had the duck confit. There wasn't any extreme excitement happening over our food, but it was by no means unenjoyable. While I don't know that I would suggest coming back here, I would not mind coming here to meet up with friends for a drink or two. ****update! Years later, tattooed moose has got their shit together in the tastiest way possible. Service is much much improved, and their duck sandwich is amaaaazing. Plus, they have amazing beer offerings and live music a'plenty. So so glad!

Alice D.

There was a lot of hype surrounding this place after being featured on Triple D. The beer selection and the duck fat fries held up to expectations but the sandwich I had (lucky number 7, 8 or 1, not sure) just didn't hold up its end of the bargain. I was confused as to why the roll was not toasted. It was obviously going for a bahn mi type flavor/feel. The wasabi mayo took over the entire sandwich. The Kimchee just seemed out of place and the pork belly was a slice of crispy bacon. If I get a chance to go back maybe I'll give a different sandwich a try and possibly update my review.

J K.

Come here for the food, not the service. Service is slow, and not always attentive. But the food.... the food was AMAZING. I had the Moose Burger and Duck Fries. Both were very flavorful. And the special sauce was soo good. If I lived locally, I'd definitely go back.

The Duck Confit Sandwich is in fact the best sandwich I've ever had... WELL WORTH the price for a triple-decker duck sandwich!! I've been to a bunch of DDD restaurants, and had some disappointments, but this place was TRUELY FANTASTIC.

The Tattooed Moose is kitschy, you won't find anything like it anywhere else in the world. From the biker-luxe dÃ©cor, to the mouthwatering (un-heart healthy menu) the restaurant is the fun kind of place a foodie enjoys stumbling upon. My friends and I visited the restaurant on a super-warm Tuesday afternoon in July. We quickly grabbed an open high top and were immediately greeted by a server. She took impeccable care of us during our visit - seeing that our drinks stayed full, answering any questions we had about the menu and checking back with us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was busy, but she treated us like we were her only customers. Our group ordered one basket of duck fat fried (more than enough...we had some left at the end of our meal). Two of us tried the Thanksgiving Leftover Sammy (Fried turkey, stuffing, cranberry may and a side of gravy for dipping), one of us had the special, a lamb Philly, and one of us tried Mike's Famous Duck Club (a triple decker club sandwich served on Hawaiian bread with smoked cheddar and, as the name suggests, duck). Let me start by saying, This. Was. A. Lot. Of. Food. A lot. Probably knowing what I know now, we could've shared two sandwiches for the entire table! And, as I said before, the basket of fries was so large that we had some left. It sounds like I'm complaining, but that certainly isn't the case. I liked the Thanksgiving Leftover Sammy - especially in July. Thanksgiving is so busy that you don't always have time to really enjoy the food, not until the following day when you've pulled all the leftovers out of the fridge and you're assembling your sandwich, anyway. That is what this sandwich tastes like - the day after Thanksgiving, which might actually be one of my favorite days of the year. I tried my husband's duck club. I didn't feel like it was the best sandwich of my life, but it was a good sandwich. The duck was tender, tasty and moist. I didn't try the lamb because, well, I'm not a fan of lamb or a Philly. Reports were mixed. Would I go back? I was a tourist to the area, so I had a limited amount of time to experience Charleston. The Tattooed Moose is a fun spot; it's out of the way and off the beaten path. It was certainly a unique experience. For sure, I'm glad I went once, but since I'm not from the area, I probably wouldn't seek out a trip to the Moose. I would, however, accompany anyone who invited me.

Delicious, moist duck club sandwich; crispy, flavorful duck fries cooked in duck fat. Quack, quack, a terrific spot!

Cary S.

An excellent bar/restaurant! SUPER casual, with a dive-bar vibe, but with excellent food. We had the duck club with duck fat fries. Damn, was it great. Ask for a side of pickled tomatoes and switch the raw tomatoes out on the sandwich for pickled ones. So good.

Michael L.

What a fantastic place. First of all, GET THE DUCK CLUB. The smoky bacon and rich duck were absolutely delicious. The fries were a little soggy and if you didn't tell me they were fried in duck fat I would have had no idea. They aren't a necessity but the sandwich is! An incredible band was playing and the crowd was super enthusiastic. A bunch of friends were there for a friend's birthday and the staff couldn't have been more helpful (and the band sang happy birthday at midnight!). Swingin' tunes, good people and fantastic food? Yes, yes and yes.

I was in Charleston on vacation last August and had been told I had to try this place. It was out of the way from the area we were staying and the areas where we were spending most of our time. But we found it. There was a huge rain storm that had just gone through so the streets were flooded and finding a parking spot nearby was sort of a problem. Also since it was still drizzling the outside area was not in use but the amount of people waiting for tables seemed to grow so fast. There was a party ahead of us of like 8-10 people which this is not the place to take a large group to. Its small and there were lots of cool taxidermy items all over the place. I noticed people taking up tables playing board or card games and not eating. Sometimes I think it is completely rude for a party of 4 to stay an hour after they have finished a meal while there are about 10 parties waiting for a table. We waited over a 1/2 hour to sit down. During this time it took over 10 minutes to get the bartender to notice we were trying to order a drink while we waited. No one sitting at the bar seemed to want to make the room for us to order a drink or even pay for it. I ordered the duck club and duck fat fries. I could not tell that the fries were cooked in duck fat or veggie oil so I think it was all a hype. The club sandwich was really good. If I had to rate the place on food it would get a 5 star rating. But the service was so horrible I had to drop the score to 3 stars. It might have taken our waitress longer to bring us the check then it took to get our order and I realized why no one was ever leaving because they were not pushing checks to people who finished. I think we had to actually stop another waitress and ask for her to find our waitress to get our check. Who knows they need to work on training the staff to turn the tables over instead of making people wait so long for a table... for a beer.. and for their check. Maybe since I found out after I went that it was on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives... that this has killed a really great local spot and turned it into a busy hard to get a seat destination.

We saw this place on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and decided to join my cousin and his girlfriend for dinner before we departed Charleston. Be aware of the parking since you may have to park across the street by the post office since they have limited spots in front of the restaurant. They apparently have some kind of duck club there, but I wasn't tempted to join it. They have a broad menu and all the items looked delicious. All of us started off with roasted garlic and blue cheese fries topped with bacon. Yum! Several beers and glasses of wine were taken advantage of during the happy hour. The house wine was very nice from what I could remember. I was pretty feeling feisty by the end of the visit, so it did its job. The super melty grilled cheese sandwich was awesome. I didn't leave a bite of it and we enjoyed our visit there. The menu is cheap and reasonable, which a plus in our books. Thanks triple D!

First time I went on a Saturday afternoon it was too crowded, couldn't get a table, and there wasn't even any room to stand. Next time I went same time on a different Saturday, it was perfect. Got seated right away, service was friendly, food was amazing. Had the smoked brisket sandwich and duck fat fries..amazing! Also have cheap PBR, can't wait to go back!

Carlos L.

This was the one place I had on the must try list for my trip to Charleston. Almost did not make it due to cab issues. Go to hell yellow cab. I had no help other then reviews to pick what I wanted. I went for the duck fat cooked fries, with blue cheese and roasted garlic bulb. It was fantastic! The bulb of garlic was ready to be squeezed out onto the entire platter, which I could not finish. Crisp and loaded with blue cheese I was happy. Other things I took a bite of: Shipmates duck sammie with bacon was super good. Bad for the heart but makes me drool just thinking about it.Other friend got the hot wings which were nice and hot. Too hot for him, so I ate a few more of his. Shots of Jamison did me for the next day though. Place was cool, decent folks and nice staff. I will go back if I ever return to Charleston!

Cat M.

I went to this place first thing when I got to Charleston because it just looked like my kind of place. I was dead right. The outside has great seating as long as it's not cold and the inside is warm and inviting with well placed beer paraphernalia on the walls. It's not a dive bar but it's not anywhere near upscale, it's something in between... a cheers with hella more personality. They had awesome old music that was fun to listen to but not loud and obtrusive. Ordered a craft beer that was super tasty and for food, the duck fat fries and Mike's famous duck club. At first I wasn't thrilled about the fries, they were the stringy kind and covered in grease - but the flavor was great and the more I put them down my gullet the more I couldn't stop. Let me tell you, the sandwich was probably one of the best ones I've ever had. A bear would not be able to get me to put this sandwich down. You probably should be aware that it's a beast of a sandwich, I actually split it with my beer mate because well it's HUGE. I wish wish wish this place was near Orlando but I'll go back to Charleston to spend more time here.

Mark M.

Read all the great reviews and wanted to check it out for lunch. Monday lunch was packed. Ordered the 1/2 lb hamburger with cheddar cheese and a side of duck fat fries. Everything was as promised. Arguably the best burger in Charleston. Duck fat fries were sublime. Will definitely be back sometime for happy hour.

I cannot express how much I enjoyed my experience at Tattooed Moose. If you are ever in Charleston, and you need a good meal, this is one of those places. The service was better than most places in Nashville, but they went out of their way to make us feel at ease and comfortable. The recommendations made by a kind gentleman behind the bar were spot-on, and they even let us try some of the add-ons to make sure we wouldn't find ourselves hating a meal we ordered. We had wanted to go to a more popular spot, but this was the best option. Get the Duck Fries. Get the Duck Confit Club. If my experience was any indication, you will not be disappointed.

Oh The Moose!!! The perfect place to eat a sandwich with deep fried pork tenderloin and sausage gravy on it, drown your troubles with Jameson or Fernet Branca, discover that you have a 3 year old son running around out there, and contract tetanus all in the same night!!! It's a great little dive bar tucked discretely in the dying ghetto that is "The Neck" of Charleston. Right now, it's a short drive from the action downtown, but the area will be full of trendy bars and restaurants in 10 years as the "gentrification" of Charleston continues. For now, however, don't worry; the exact location of The Tattooed Moose sits in a fairly safe part of the The Neck and you won't feel unsafe inside or outside The Moose while you're there. But, yea, still lock your car up. The Tattooed Moose is run by the same people who own and run Voodoo in West Ashley (which is awesome) but they get to focus a bit more on the food here. And the food is really, really great! It's simple, traditional bar fare but with some really interesting and, yes, actually gourmet options! I would go as far as to say that the best sandwich you may ever put in your face lives here: The Duck Club. The Duck Club is a divine concoction, the consuming of which is akin to staring into the face of God and seeing him smiling and laughing back "You are my most wondrous creation!" It's roasted, pulled duck, added to a BLT on Hawaiian bread with the Moose touch of love added. Yes, it's amazing! Hit up the "Lucky #1" also! It's a braised pork belly and kimchi sandwich. *Mind explodes in ecstasy* There's also a thanksgiving leftovers sandwich which is just like it sounds, and delicious! They have rotating daily specials as well, so there's always something new to try. Sarah McLachlan beware: there's about 1000 dead and stuffed animals in there to complete the look, but don't worry, they never play "In the Arms of an Angel"! The Moose is, by all means, a full bar too so don't expect to go in and have a quaint luncheon with the ladies sewing circle on Sunday afternoon. There will be a few drunkards in there at any given time and the music stays on all the time. Don't worry, since Guy Fier-douchie-spiked-hair-i put it on the Food Network, the crowd still has a lot of families that come in to eat too. There's also live music every Tuesday which is also $1 off craft beer night. Ohhh the beer...they only have 5 taps but the kegs are all delicious unique brews; no bud light! They have a ton of beers in bottles and those rotate as well. The staff is really great and friendly and, despite the dive bar vibe, they keep the place pretty clean. There's a Sunday brunch every week but get there early or be prepared to wait! As mentioned, since the Guy Fieri televised event, LOTS of families show up on Sunday AM for brunch! You'll get in and get a table in short order though and be oh so happy you did! The brunch food is more of the same Moose goodness and pretty much everything comes with gravy on/in/around it! You're gonna enjoy it, but maybe chase it with some Lipitor! So, get yourself into the Moose, grab a beer, play some "Big Buck Hunter", slam a Jame-O shot with the bartender, and eat some amazing gravy soaked food! You're heart and liver may complain, but what do they know?!

Just got back from Charleston SC and has the pleasure of eating at the Tattooed Moose. (Thanks DDD/GUY) The four of us sat at the bar and had a blast. The Beer list was impressive as were the beer prices. The menu was also varied and the prices excellent. However the point of this review is to discuss the DUCK CLUB. I ordered this as did my brother in law. It would almost insult this sandwhch to call it the best I've ever eaten. Words cannot describe how insanely delicious this thing was. Had the side of duck fries (which were fantastic) and honestly this qualifies as one of the better meals I've eaten. Period. My sister had the Rueben and my wife had the pulled pork. Both were very good. Get to this place asap. Superior service, fun staff and a definite can't miss if you are on a trip to Charleston. I'd recomend stopping in on your way into town, its really the perfect way to start a trip.

Tattoeed Moose is a surprisingly fun bar with lots of board games like dirty (truth or dare) Jenga. I forget if they have TVs to show sports games, but they probably do. Their Duck Club sandwich was really good! Ask for the Duck Fat Fries too.

Great atmosphere for a laid back lunch on Sunday after a long Saturday night. Had the duck confit club, which was in short amazing. I really enjoyed the duck confit take on a club and it paired nicely with the duck fat fries. They have a pretty good beer selection and I had an IPA (cannot recall exactly which), which went nicely with the amount of fat in the meal. Highly recommend as a great place to hang out and eat some confit.

Karen G.

What I had - Duck Club & Duck Fat Fries. Based on several other yelp reviews that I read, I decided that I had to try the duck club & fries... and I was not disappointed! The duck club was quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had!! Duck confit, applewood bacon, garlic aioli, toasted sweet hawaiian bread, lettuce/tomato/onion.... every aspect of this sandwich was by itself delicious, and when put together was AMAZING. I am not normally a fry person, but I ordered it with the Duck Fat Fries after seeing such great reviews about them, and I was not let down. They were delicious, and were served with more of the garlic aioli that was on the club, and the side of aoili included a roasted garlic clove hiding out like a treasure to discover halfway through eating your fries (if you can't tell, I'm a garlic lover). Duck and bacon and garlic and all sorts of goodness were in this sandwich, and it was nothing short of orgasmic. I will definitely be heading straight to this place next time I am in the area.

We went to the Tattooed Mooe because we saw it on The Food Network and was impressed by the show. When we walked into the restaurant/bar I was disappointed. It wasn't what I thought it was going to look like. I forgot the name of the show and quickly remembered it's a dive bar. My dissapointment quickly faded when we were greeted by our waitress. She was very nice and made us feel comfortable. We had the Lowland Cuban sandwhich, Buffalo Wings and Duck Fries. They were all excellent. The longer I was there the more I liked it. I would highly recommend this place. Next time I'm going to try the famous Duck Club sandwhich.

Nicol S.

Great barfood, especially the duck fat fries. I have been here at least a dozen times and never ordered anything but the burger. I am sure their other food is good too, but why mess with what works. I do have to say that the pickled green tomatos are to die for. The atmosphere is great too, it's bluesy and has that southern rock feel. Over my last burger here the Black Keys and Johnny Cash serenaded me.

Anastasia M.

The atmoshere is funky, don't be in a hurry... With that being said, it is soooooooooo worth it! A question on here is what would you want to eat for your last meal and my answer is : Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries from the Tattooed Moose. They are soooooooooooooo good that I accidently almost slapped the waitresses hand when she tried to take the basket away :) OOOPS! If you have not been, GO GO GO! It is fun and memorable all in one. Bring a sharpie and sign a table, next time we will! Keep up the awesome job!

Sarah J.

So, this is a bit of a "dive bar" but it rocks nonetheless. Very nice, casual atmosphere, great food and drinks. I got the thanksgiving inspired sandwich and was blown away by the luscious goodness of it! My hubs got the cuban sandwich which he also enjoyed. This place may be a hole in the wall type of joint but damn that food is goooooooooooooood!

I usually turn to my fellow Yelpers to help me find a pick a good restaurant, this time they let me down!!! I found the TM OK but not great, the fries way over cooked ( I even had to have them remake). I had the garlic blue cheese fries and it wasn't that good and the tastes were overwhelming because of too much blue cheese melted everywhere on the fries. The duck sandwich good but not the best sandwich ever as menu and fellow Yelpers implied. The cheese sandwich wasn't that good either. I would avoid your kids using the rest rooms as they have numerous vulgar writings on the walls. It has all the makings to be a great find and maybe others wrote their reviews after one too many of their ale's?!

The duck sandwich and duck fat fries were to DIE for. Yes, that sounds like a lot of duck for one meal, but Oh. Em. Gee. Unreal.

John B.

Food was above average, but the ambience leaves a lot to be desired. They're clearly aiming for the "dive" look, the problem is that they were too successful. The place really is a dive, with graffiti on every surface, most of it coarse enough that you wouldn't want your children reading it, and it's very dirty inside. We saw many flies. Overall, I don't think the food is good enough to overcome the ambience.

I have visited the Tattooed Moose twice and both times enjoyed the duck club. As stated by other reviewers, the service can be slack even when there isn't a big crowd. I was not impressed with the fries or the slaw. Both were bland and slaw was not fresh at all. However they do have a decent selection of beers. I recommend checking out this place at least once. And if you aren't from the area, you would probably be better off going during the day since it is in sketchy part of town.

Don't even know how to begin about how awesome this place was. I found it here on yelp...we drove out to it for dinner on a Thursday night (it is a bit off the beaten "downtown Charleston" path) and it was PACKED. An hour wait. Sadly, we left as one of our party tends to get cranky pants if he has to wait for too long. We came back the next day for lunch. SO glad we decided to come back and try it. I had the Cuban Sandwich with the duck fat fries. DELICIOUS. I love cuban sandwiches and they're pretty hard to really screw up but they're also hard to make stand out. The one at the Moose was probably tops on my list. Tons of meat without being dry (due to the amazing buttered roll) and so big. I was in heaven. My husband got their famous duck club. Also WOW. He is not a big duck guy but he loved it. Honestly, one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted. Again..HUGE serving. I also topped off my meal with the bread pudding (cinnamon AND chocolate?!?!) that was pretty good as well! I also liked the atmosphere. A good mix of locals with some tourists to be found. Our server was pretty cool and helpful. I don't recommend you try this place. I INSIST. You're really missing out if you don't go here.

As a person who lives by Detroit and frequents its bars, this is the one restaurant/bar in Charleston that reminds me of home. This is a little of the beaten path for the tourists but it is well worth the drive, the duck club maybe my favorite sandwich in the world. I also love the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich too. Great place for lunch.

I have died and gone to heaven...the french fries (cooked in duckfat) are otherworldly. Add blue cheese, and a head of roast garlic, and they are better than sex. The sandwhiches are top notch and always changing. Be sure to have the duck confit sandwhich. The guinness is great, and the $10 buckets of moosehead a steal. The decor and atmosphere are great, with a nice diverse crowd. This is fast becoming my favorite hangout.

R J.

Really good for a place that comes across as a dive bar. I've had the duck club sandwich, which was excellent, as well as the lucky # 1, which is a bahn mi type sandwich. It was great as well. The fries are fried in duck fat, which is probably not the healthiest option, but damn they're good. My wife has had the burger, which she really liked, She's also had the "after thanksgiving sandwich", which she said was great the first time, but lousy the second time because the bread was cold and everything was crumbled on the sandwich. Nonetheless, I like the place so I'm giving it 5 stars.

2nd time I have eaten there and each time it has been bad. This time there were only people at the bar, doing shoots with the staff, and only two tables with people. So it wasn't very busy but it took over 45 min for me to get my appetizer. I had the duck fries with blue cheese and garlic... They were awful! The blue cheese sauce had no flavor and the fries were soaking wet. I got in my car and headed down the road for my main course!

E K.

Great food, great beer list. We had burgers and the duck fat fries which were really good. Great selection of beers and other drinks. The decor is... interesting. Graffiti is encouraged in the bathrooms and on the tables. Fun place to hang out on a week night or after a night of drinking, especially with the board games they provide. Not a place for health food and not a place for a romantic date.

My hubby and i, after long debate this afternoon came in after a friend recommended it...I had the Rueben and my hubby had the duck club...they were simply amazing...the cost was a little high for sandwiches but with food this good I honestly didn't care...can't wait for brunch!!!

A must hit dive with great sandwiches. Your loss if you dont order the duck club. Good beers too.

Sarah P.

What a great place! Definitely a dive, moreso the outside than in. Drawings on table are colorful and not for kids. Fries with blue cheese and roasted garlic is a must and we enjoyed everything that we ordered... Reuben, Cuban, Moose Burger, and Chowder. We looked longingly at the neighboring tables' duck club and are currently waiting for the bread pudding to arrive. We anticipate being pleased!

I couldn't be happier with the killer sandwiches and sides. Cool atmosphere and great beers served by helpful and relaxed staff. Great live music too!

Run away! The worst meal I ever had! The music was so loud we couldn't talk to each other at our table -- the waiter said they wouldn't turn it down because "the owner likes it that way. Ordered a duck confit sandwich. The first was burned so I sent it back. The second was loaded with melted cheese which I peeled off -- the only thing edible was the duck, which I pulled out and ate. We also ordered duck fat fries. They were so laden with salt we were trying to scrape the salt off; finally gave up after the three of us ate a handful of fries. Gross!

My friend and I had a delicious meal however our waiter was more interested in hanging out with his friends then helping us at all. When we asked for menus he pointed to where we could get them. It took him 10 minutes to bring us our drinks and we needed to ask another guy who worked there for a second round. But the food was great, five stars if this guy wasn't our waiter.

This place was great! I wish there was a Tattooed Moose in the town I live in. The sandwiches and wraps were fantastic. My husband and I shared the duck club and a California wrap. Both were delicious! I expected a little more from the fries cooked in duck fat. They were hand cut fries drenched in grease. They weren't crispy or as good as I thought they would be. This seems to be a local hot spot. The fire department and several cops were dining in for lunch at the same time we were. The tables were covered in graffiti and my husband said the men's room sported some of the best bathroom graffiti he'd ever seen. :) The music they played (from someone's iPod) was nice and eclectic. The dÃ©cor consisted of mounted deer and moose heads sporting hats, sunglasses, etc. and the obligatory signs for Guinness and various other beers. Speaking of beer, the pints we had were only $2 each. Not bad at all and the selection was nice. The staff was attentive and quirky. We left full and happy. Can't ask for more than that!

I really dig this place. A dive bar with AMAZING food - yes, please. It is located directly over the Ravenal bridge going into downtown... take the East Bay exit, a right at the stop on Morrison and it is just a few blocks up on the left. Definitely drive... as it isn't necessarily in the best area of town (but not far from it). Again, the food was really, really good. The infamous duck club is probably the best sandwich I have ever had. Ever. Hell, I turned my nose up to it when my friends first gave me the good ol' "You HAVE to try the duck club". I didn't think I liked duck (I had just had it as a dinner plate at another locale a few months before and it was so/so). Well, apparently, I like duck a lot thanks to this masterful creation. Basically... its like pulled duck topped with smoked (and you can taste the smokiness - huge plus) bacon and cheddar cheese, slapped with a piece of bread in the middle big mac style. Top layer is for the fixings... some really tasty mayo-based sauce, onions, lettuce and tomato if you prefer. It comes on sweet Hawaiian bread... which just brings more of the out. I have not ventured past that, as the other day was my first venture out that way.... but I've heard the same about the other plates on the menu. The menu itself isn't huge... soups/salads, apps and sandwiches. All in all, I'll certainly go back and will update this further when I do.

Friendly staff, nice dive place...trying this place as a result of seeing on TV (diners, drive-in and dives). The duck club, side of fries was great...bread and the build of the sandwich is amazing. I wish I loved it more but I just am not that big a fan of duck....any other meat on this Goliath of a sandwich and I'd be over the moon. this place has a lot of charm, menu is small but has some great looking items. it seems everyone comes here for the club so try it! I wasn't disappointed just don't love quack.

So good. I love this place and most of what it has to offer. My favorites are the Duck Club and the Lucky #1 Sub. I'd give this place five starts but our service freakin sucked. Today we ate like kings.

It's loud in here. Parking is a pain. You probably have to wait for a table. And it's crowded. Duck fries. Isn't that why everyone goes? So that's what we had. While they weren't bad, they didn't quite live up to my expectation. I cook eggs in duck fat, so I was expecting a bit more flavor, but still not disappointed at all. The duck club was also ordered. Expectations were exceeded as this was a truly fabulous plate of a sandwich. Next time I will skip the cheese, it's some kind of smoked cheddar and I felt it overshadowed the other ingredients. But you better believe I ate every single bite - wonderful. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Drinks. Sadly disappointed. I don't know what they're using or maybe their gun is gimpy, but the 'Sprite' was not good at all. Reminded me of Pure Harvest or some other off brand Sprite. Had a tangy almost medicinal taste. I've noticed more and more, places are using cheaper beverage suppliers and that's a shame. I've started taking my own sodas in cans to places I know use knock-off brands. If I order a rum and Coke, a rum and cola doesn't work for me. And that Pure Harvest "cola" borders on in drinkable. Am I going back? Hell yes I'm going back! That duck club is the bomb. But I'm bringing my own soda next time.

Dive bar with a great beer selection. The duck club sandwich lives up to the hype. Its a must have......you will not be disappointed.

Decided to try this place due to the reviews. We were not disappointed. Had the duck club and it was just as delicious as everyone led us to believe. The duck fat fries were yummy too. Just happened to have a Sharpee with us to leave our mark along with all the others on the outside tables. Will certainly eat here again and recommend you check it out on a beautiful fall day too. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is exactly what you would expect for a place with this name with outdoor seating, so wear what you want.

Donnie S.

Duck club and duck fat fries are worth coming here from wherever you are! Nothing fancy or chic but rally good food, people from all walks dining in, and good music. I'll be going back, again and spreading the word about the gem---maybe not. I don't want people in my spot :)

Guys, I'm not going to write a long drawn-out review here. It's not that hard. Go to Tattooed Moose, enjoy beer, order the duck confit club and duck fries. Went for the first time last weekend and my boyfriend and I really liked it. Small place with a cool divey atmosphere. Lots of beer choices. The sandwiches all looked so good (I'm going to have to go back for the pate melt!) and the Duck Confit Club was SO good. Duck fat fries were addicting. We got them with a side of gravy and also got the side of garic aioli and I was inhaling them. We also split an order of wings, and I think they're the best I've had in Charleston after living here a few months (and watching a lot of football) Oh and Tattooed Moose is open late-night! We went at about 10:30 one night... obviously duck confit and fuck fat fries make awesome latenight eats.

Jennifer N.

The atmosphere makes dining here, an experience. The menu isn't very vegetarian friendly, but everyone else seems happy with it. My husband enjoyed a breakfast version of a Rochester Garbage Plate for brunch, and he sure was happy. Parking isn't fun and they sure do get busy, so be prepared for that.

Heidi L.

Came here on a Sunday for their brunch. Great drinks- had the mimosas and bellinis. The garbage plate was great. Next time for sure ordering the fries. They were so good with the sausage gravy. Saw a biscuit come out and knew immediately I needed to have one. It was spectacular. The egg sandwich was tastey. The burger was awesome. If you come on Sunday- they open at 11:30 and come early cause there's a line. But it's worth the wait. Atmosphere was hip- great music- friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Mazlo M.

Got there at 11:30am when it opened and by 11:50am, all seats were taken, even at the bar! The place was full with locals, guys in ties, fire chief, and tourists. Great food, great music, great service - the place has a Seattle vibe (90's alternative music- Nirvana, The Pixies). We had the moose burger, duck club, duck fries with gravy, and the lazy magnolia pecan nut brown ale. All were winners. Would love to come back for the for the peanut butter and banana French toast but it's only served for Sunday brunch. Sadly, we are heading back home on Saturday. See you next time we are I'm Charlestown.

Jeffrey R.

Decided to go there for lunch during the week while working in Charleston having seen the place numerous times on food network. When we asked the waitress which was the best sandwich order she immediately said the duck club. Having watched that sandwich being made on TV enough times and never having had duck in my life I decided to go with the recommendation.i'm glad I did, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.

This was my 3rd visit to the Tattooed Moose. My FiancÃ© and I went in for a late dinner at around 9:30 on a Sunday night. Upon arrival, we went up to the bar, and our server came out promptly and lead us to a booth. We ordered a couple of beers right away, Pluff Mud Porter nitro if I remember correctly. I ordered the smoked chicken salad sandwich, and she had the thanksgiving sandwich (which she has ordered EVERY time we've gone). We also split a basket of the bleu garlic fries. After a short wait, our sandwiches and super fly French fries came right out. I must say, these bleu garlic fries are the wildest, most intensely garlicky and mouthwatering variant of cheese fries I've ever had! The half head of roasted garlic on top was not only an aromatic garnish, but a tastey side dish unto itself. My chicken salad sandwich, was so much more than its title lead me to believe. The bacon and the chx salad really jibed well, and the bread to topping ratio was perfectly balanced. My old lady's sandwhich was damn near perfect as well, save for the lack of cranberry sauce, and the gravy being lukewarm; that and the fact that I didn't (but she did) get their pickled green tomatoes on the side of my sandwich (I'm a pickle fanatic ;). Deduct the final star. We shall return for great service and exceptional food, even on a rainy Sunday night.

This place is awesome! Everyone loves their Duck Club but I am a sucker of the Lucky #1 Sub. Pork belly and kim chi, I mean seriously, awesome!
(5)
Jordan D.

Get the duck club with the blue cheese and garlic duck fat fries. You will not be disappointed. Such a great place for brunch, lunch or dinner. Craft beer selection is great and they still have some beer from macro breweries if you're into that garbage. I've had the duck hash for brunch as well as the Cuban and thanksgiving dinner sandwiches. Everything on the menu is great but I'm a slave to the duck club. Friendly staff and bartenders are just the cherry on top. Cool and hip atmosphere with outside seating for when the weather is nice.

This one is a dive! But you know what else it is? A winner! The fries I had here were the best I've ever had in my life. Music, trendy hipsters, a couple of smokers on the patio, drinks, conversation...all check. It was pretty late and we were a little worried that the staff focus would be more cocktails and brews than food at this point. We decided to give the food a whirl though despite the late hour. Roasted Garlic & Bleu Cheese Fries Lucky #1 Duck Club These fries were the best, ever. Hands down for me, I've never had better fries. The roasted garlic bulb...why haven't I thought of that?! Amazing...I love a creamy smooth forkful of roasted garlic. They added magic fries and some sort of super powered bleu cheese sauce that was orgasmic. I am so not hyping these fries up lol. I don't know what they did, but they did it well! The pork belly sub was delicious. I just wish there was more pork belly on there. The kimchi and cilantro...everything worked well with this sub. When I finished mine I wanted more. It was really good. The duck club was still great despite it losing to the Lucky #1 in my book. The duck was tasty, but I wish it had a wee bit more flavor to it and as another yelper said, a little more meat here too. All in all, great sandwich. Needless to say, it didn't matter about the late night party hour, the food was still amazing. I would definitely go back OD on those fries again...I'd also try the grilled cheese and the smoked chicken salad BLT. Great grub. PS: Note to owners (add more meat to the sandwiches please!)

T S.

The food was great the service was top notch and the whole family loved the atmosphere. We had corn dogs, fries, the duck club and the #1 if I am ever in this area again I will come back.

Run, don't walk, to the Tattooed Moose! We saw this place featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and immediately added it to he list of restaurants to check out while on vacation in Charleston. The vibe of this place is laid back and relaxed. While they were quite busy, we didn't feel rushed at all by our server. The real reason to go it the Duck Club Sandwich. My boyfriend stated this is what he would order for his last meal on earth. I think that about sums it up!
(5)
Bem H.

The duck club may be the best club I've ever had. Me and my fam all had the duck club and we also ordered three orders of duck fat fries for the table..one with gravy, a second with blue cheese and garlic, and a third with garlic aioli. They were all equally delicious. The house made pickles are amazing and the sweet and sour green tomatoes make the club. The Tattooed Moose will always be a go to spot when in Charleston. It's nothing less than amazing.

Kori C.

We went here late Sunday night for dinner. The place was so loud that we couldn't hear each other across the table and had to move outside. The service below average as the waiter disappeared for long periods of time. It took twenty minutes for them to take our order after we got our drinks. The food was ok. We got the duck confit sandwich (pretty decent), the lucky #1 sub (way too many flavors going on) and the duck fat fries (wonderful). We also ordered the bacon cake for dessert. It was so tiny for $6, but it tastes so terrible we ended up throwing it away. It tasted like straight Hershey's Syrup in a solid form. It's not the worse place I've ever been to, but I definitely wouldn't choose to come back.

Jeremy B.

After seeing Tattooed Moose on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, I knew I just HAD to try it. And let me tell you, it didn't disappoint at all and was everything Guy Fieri said on the show! I had not one but two orders of the duck fat fries. What can possibly be better than French fries fried in duck fat?! DELISH!!!! Then I just had to get the duck club sandwich. It was knock-my-socks off AMAZING!!! Best club sandwich I have EVER had in my life and I am a club sandwich fanatic. Honestly it was probably the great sandwich I've had in my life period. It is a MUST TRY. The sweet Hawaiian bread, duck confit, bacon, garlic mayo..... It's an orchestra on your taste buds! And the decor and vibe was totally awesome. Made me feel right at home and welcome. They also have a great assortment of beers as well. Totally worth the trip to Charleston! Two thumbs way up!

Jacob C.

This place wa cool little dive type spot near the campus downtown. Mice wife and I got the corn dogs, duck fries, and wings. They were all pretty tasy and the service was good too, prices were cheap! Good selection of some cheap beers and great local craft beers too. If I was 10 years younger I'd be there every other weekend, check this place out.

Alanna B.

You must get the Duck Club. No exceptions. And a side of duck fries. Awesome drink and beer selections. Featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." Parking areas are listed on their website where you can and cannot park. This location appears to be in a bad area of town, but you wont care about that after eating here. I have no factual info if it is located in a bad area, that is just how my drive appeared on my way from downtown. It certainly is a place where the locals go. I would go back in a heartbeat. You must stop here while in Charleston.

Eric R.

Great quality!!! The appetizer tray was bit pricey.... The service was on time and generous. The atmosphere is very casual. If the duck sandwich came with fries the $13.00 for the sandwich would be perfect.

My husband and I went here after a show at the music farm. We had the thanksgiving Sammie, which was delicious and the duck fat fries with gravy. Fries were good, the gravy was ok but very salty. There was a live band playing, which was neat. But our server could not hear anything we were saying, which was annoying. Not too impressed but not a horrible spot either.

So good I'm sacrificeing the last bit of my phone charge to post this. Beyond awesome and so was our waitter. Lucky #1 and duck sandwich. This is the honeymoon meal to beat so far. Max stars.

On my trip to Charleston, I pretty much ate my way through the city and the tattooed moose was my favorite stop. The Thanksgiving Sammy was amazing and so was the duck gravy that came with it. A friend got the duck fat fries and the flavor was amazing. If I'm ever in Charleston again I'll make sure I stop in. Definitely worth a visit.

Tattooed Moose is a dive bar on the other side of town. If you are visiting from out of town, you will definitely want to drive there. I have been here 4 or 5 times and always enjoyed it. I feel that the famous Duck Club does live up to the hype. One of my favorite sandwiches ever. It is dripping in flavor! The Duck Fat Fries are good but up the ante by adding the Blue Cheese and garlic. They actually bring out an entire cooked clove of garlic to season these tasty taters. I have also tried tried friends sandwiches as I can't resist getting the Duck Club when I go and I would have to say my second favorite so far is the Thanksgiving Sandwich. Its a dive bar with with exceptional bar food. When I first went, I had told server that I was told I had to check this place out for the food(early stages before it was all the rage) he was shocked and said "It's so cool that people are recommending us for our foor, we're just a dive bar". Don't forget that they have a great selection of craft beer. Only negative is that the service sometimes suffers when it gets busy. Overall its worth a try.

Very small! A few tables on the deck and a few booths and tables inside. Went with the Duck Club which was off hook good!, They are trying to maintain the edginess with the staff that draws people in but need to focus on folks that have experience in food service if they want to stay successful for long after the hype from DDD.

Yet another one of the places i visited soley do to them being on Triple D. And yet again i wasn't disappointed.I stopped in last week while in Charleston,SC to find out that they are closed for repairs for a few day's, it really bummed me out as i was excited to try the place out, i checked there facebook and found out they were set to reopen the night before i leave... PERFECT. I show up thursday night around 7:30 anticipating some of the dinner rush to be over and i still had to wait about 25 minutes for a table. Finally got a table and decided to try the Duck Club...which was a big stretch for me since i've never had duck, Also ordered the duck fat fries per the waitress' request. My fiance got the chicken salad. a few minutes later our food comes out and the Duck Club was much bigger than i was expecting, It was VERY good which i was thankful for since i've never ate duck. The fries were good as well a bit richer than your typical fries. The Chicken salad sandwich was also quite good. Well worth a stop if you're in the mood to try something a bit out of the box.

Omg must get everything. Roasted garlic and blue cheese fries and the meathouse snack plate are amazing.

Like others have said, I wanted to try this place out after seeing it on Diners, Drivers & Dives, but I was a bit disappointed. The sandwich was alright, I wasn't too crazy about it. And I guess it's just me but I really hated the fries.. They weren't as good as hyped to be, imo.

Chelsey N.

Unique sandwich spot, inside is small, but definitely worth the wait. Friendly wait staff. The fries are amazing!!!! As is the duck club, and the lucky #1 sub was probably the best pork sandwich that has ever been created.

Michael W.

This is trendy food meets dive bar. Look at the menu and you'll see someone knows food for sure. I came here at 11 on a Wednesday cans was pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was open till 1. When you see that they do duck fat Fries with garlic aolie and a plethora of beer options. I likes the BBQ brisket sandwich with my Alagash White. I will be coming here again for sure even though listening to the college kids at the table next to me complain about dating was annoying. Expect hipsters and those who hang with them.

Michael W.

Best little dive sandwich joint. It can get busy ...if it does prepare to wait a bit. If that's the case grab a craft beer and chill. I miss the Reuben ...so I only give 4 stars...;-)

Sarah R.

Went here for happy hour after a day of swimming and I can't wait to go again. Boasted by Guy Fieri, Food Network's Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives, as having the best duck club he has ever had...my husband and I just stuck with the happy hour menu and will save the club for later. We got the 2$ basket of duck fries, 50 cents per wing of a total of 10 buffalo wings, and a couple corn dogs with a 7$ pitcher of beer we were blown away by the admirably yet sophistication of flavors. Duck fries were flavorful, crispy, and salty. Wings were tangy with a hint of butter in the buffalo sauce while crispy having crispy skin yet juicy meat. The corn dogs had a fabulous mustard dipping sauce. Tattooed Moose..I bow down.

JT A.

Definitely one of the best sandwiches is the duck club. A bit steep in price but so delicious and filling. I definitely recommend it! My waiter wasn't that attentive and didn't check in with me to see how it was until I finished and was ready for the bill. She had many opportunities as she walked by my table a good 10 times. Given that she didn't deliver ny food, that's the very least she could've done (that is, to see how it was). So her tip was low. It's really simple- serve us (service).

Mackenzie B.

DUCK CLUB ALL THE WAY!!!!!! Annndddd the Lucky #1 Sub is amazing too. Also try the duck fat fries!!

Matt S.

one of the best burgers anywhere...their namesake with the pork belly will satisfy any carnivore, and the duck-fat fries with garlic aioli are the perfect companion. Mike really knows how to put the meat between the buns.

Tyler S.

A good friend told me that this place was down the street from school, so I decided to swing by for lunch and some brews after class. I read plenty of good reviews about the Duck Club, so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm no duck specialist (I think this was actually the first time I've had it), but the sandwich was delicious. Some people complain about messy food, but hell, if it's good enough, you can wipe my face with it and I'm not going to think any less of it. I loved every bite of this sandwich, and it was big enough to take half of it home for later. It made an awesome drunk 1 a.m. snack that night. The duck fat fries are pretty good too and the garlic mayo dip they brought out with them was awesome. It made for a tasty and very satisfying lunch, and I'll be going back again sometime.

Bruce A.

I had the duck fat fries and the lowcountry cuban sandwich. It was greasy, glorious, and delicious. Based on the taste of food and the speed of service alone, this would be 5 stars. But the parking is lacking, the food menu is small, and the prices are slightly high. Based on the people who were there this is clearly a destination for hipsters and the atmosphere is very divey. Location near the coliseum was convenient to a stingrays minor league hockey game I attended: I ate here before the game. Its also near the airport, so convenient for your last meal in Charleston.

Awesome place. The food there is wonderful. The atmosphere is fun. It's in a hidden spot and that's what makes the food better. The duck sandwich is wonderful.

Paul D.

Very good not great, and stuck between a 3 and 4 star. Certainly a dive, with sharpie artwork all over the wall and tables. A bar goes along the back of the wall, high and low top tables scattered, and a small patio outside. As soon as I walk in, I can smell the grease. They need to clean and change their oil. Anyway, we showed up pretty much right when they opened for lunch, and were seated right away. Though the place was full 20 minutes after opening. Always a good sign for a local dive. Table service seemed busy, but on top of things for the moment. Though once the place filled up, the service slowed. No problem. The kitchen seems really small, and can not keep up with all the people here. A couple of the bartenders seemed a little surly. They are known for their duck club sandwich, and fries made in duck oil. Which is what I had. The club sandwich is huge. I won't need to eat for the rest of the day. The fries are limp and soggy. They obviously don't double fry them, or let them dry after soaking in water. The club is this huge monster of a thing soaked in grease. Mounds of duck confit, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The toast is soaked through with grease, oil, and globs of mayo. Not to mention the mayo based aoli sauce on the side. This is a heart attack, and impossible to eat. The duck is very good, but as a sandwich...arg this is frustrating to eat. A few local Charleston beers on tap, as well as a few nice offerings in bottles, and cheep macros. All things to all people on the beer front, and a full bar. Certainly a place I would like to come back to. The food is good, if a bit flawed. Change the oil for crying out loud. It seems their appearance on Diners, Drive Inns, and Dives has done this place good. It is basically packed from the get go. A nice spot, which I will continue to support when I can. Though, there are some other places I like better in this wonderful town. I guess that just speaks to the quality of food options here.

Chelle R.

It's a bar that makes some of the best sandwiches you will ever taste. I had the Duck Club sandwich and I must say that i'm in love. I also had the duck fat fries with a side of gravy. I didn't care for the gravy, but the fries are fantastic. It was so good, and so rich that my friend has banned me from coming back for a month. She said I will need that amount of time to work off all the duck fat. It's kinda small and if you go during the lunch rush prepare for a wait. The upside is that the kitchen is open till 1 am. A person could do a lot of damage eating that good late at night. I will be anxiously waiting out my ban so that I can try something else on the menu. Oh yeah, it's a bar too.

Great atmosphere, we started with the duck fat fries and the wings during happy hour and they were excellent. Our table sampled the Duck Club and the Lucky #1, and both were amazing. A little outside downtown, but worth the short drive.

Sarah N.

I've had a couple really unpleasant experiences here as a vegetarian - one time they basically told me they have nothing that isn't fried in duck fat, and the other time I had them take the meat out of a breakfast bowl style dish, and they made no effort to add extra potatoes or anything, so the meal overall was just sad and tiny and expensive. Super lame.

Great food. Don't go though if you need vegetarian options. Can be crowded, because it is so good and popular. Nice place for late night hanging out.

Been here twice on the recommendation of a friend who used to live here and this was one of our favorite places in Charleston. We were able to try three things here: (1) Duck Club - this is a MUST HAVE. I posted a picture and that describes it more than I can in words. It is simply amazing. (2) Wings - during happy hour they are .50 each and they were huge! Not the best wings ever but I got 8 and was very full. (3) Duck fat fries - some of the best fries I've ever eaten. If you haven't have potatoes fries in duck fat you are missing out on life. Sorry. (4) Lucky #1 sandwich - this is the one with the pork belly and house made kimchee. It was solid but a but too complex for me. Its' good but just too many flavors for me. I wanted to taste the kimchee and the pork belly, but together with a bunch of other things and duck fat fries in the middle...flavor overload. Overall. This is a must do if you visit Charleston. It's close to the airport also so give it a go.
(5)
Anne D.

Where to start??? The atmosphere was dive-y and the neighborhood just sketchy enough so you felt like a rebel - but not so sketchy that you thought twice about getting out if your car. The basket of blue cheese and roasted garlic duck fat fries was beyond delicious. I can never eat just a regular old basket of fries again. My brisket sandwich was perfect- not too dry, not too saucy. My mother got the duck BLT- it, too, was as good as advertised. Sometimes restaurants get over-hyped and turn out to be disappointments. Not so with this place.... It is as good as you've heard.

I've been here a few times for a late lunch so its always been kinda dead, so I've never had to wait for a table or for service. It's a really divey bar that happens to serve some de-lic-ous pub food. The atmosphere is reminiscent of someones really cool man-cave basement that has a huge bar. There are taxidermy animal heads on the wall and a smattering of arcade games. I prefer to eat outside on their patio if possible. I'm sorry to say that I've never had the Duck Club and have always defaulted to the Smoked Chicken Salad BLT, which is no less calorie dense than the Duck Club, I'm sure. This is no hum-drum sandwich. I dream about this chicken salad sometimes, no joke. One time when I was trying to eat healthier I got the Santa Fe Salad, which was surprisingly awesome for a bar. I always, no matter what, get the duck fat fries with the garlic aioli. Fried fat and creamy fat = nom arghnom nooommm. One basket of fries is really enough for two people so be aware of this when ordering. I've heard they are contemplating opening a second location in a place that really needs it....Jennifer, please, please, please make that North Charleston or Goose Creek... we are dying up here without duck fat fries!

Duck Confit Club- LOVED IT! I wanted to go back and get another one the next day. Almost did. The duck fat fries were great! They make their own kimchi for their BBQ sandwich. We'll have to try that next. I think this will be the first stop, the next time we come to Charleston. These people are serious food people. The waiters and waitresses were terrific. Very fun. BTW- duck fat is a healthy fat, people. It is a stable fat at high temps and that stability is what you need when eating deep fried foods. Vegetable oil will make you sick. (This is in response to some other reviews.) A VERY satisfying meal. Felt great after eating it! Healthy fast food. Awesome!

Stopped in for New Year's Day brunch and enjoyed the duck club. It is easily shared and I removed the center slice of bread to make it the perfect size. Excellent sandwich! The fries were good hot but when they cooled down became rock hard. The grits were good as were the baked beans. I had my mimosa without OJ and the cost was the same. Love it. The Bloody Mary was good and the homemade pickles were tasty. Good service even though they were slammed.

I can't explain how awesome this place is. The atmosphere is friendly and definitely has a local pub feel that is welcoming and fun. The waitress that took care of my group was very friendly recovered from a small order mix up quickly and even went the extra mile to "take care" of the mistake on our bill. Yes the duck club is phenomenal and its a must for first-timers. And I do stress MUST. Even for some who are a little shy of duck please trust me. You won't regret it. But don't stop there, We had a lucky number 1 and duck fat fries our last time. It was just wonderful, the crunch of the bread, the flavor of the pork with the onions.... It all just melded together into awesome on a plate. Also SC is known for brunches and tattooed moose's Bloody Mary's are just as good as everything else on their menu.... Which is amazing in case you haven't caught that yet. This'll be a weekly visit for me.

For what this place is, there's not a thing I can complain about. Yes, I saw this joint on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. What can I say? I'm a Food Network whore. I went into Tattooed Moose today (a Tuesday) a little after noon and it was packed, a waiting list of about 20 minutes. The hostess, who was perfectly kind and helpful, said she could add me to the list or I could take a seat at the bar, pointing out two she spotted. I said thanks then took the stool on the end of the bar, by the kitchen entrance. With a full counter, the bartender was surprisingly sweet and attentive. I ordered a Pluff Mud Porter, brewed by local Holy City Brewing. I'm not big on porters, really, but I do favor a nice dark stout. This brew was right in between, great body and flavor. I believe HCB has a permanent tap at the bar and just rotates the beer seasonally. I'd trust them year-round from that taste. As for food, I went with the "famous" Duck Club. ICANTEVEN. It was phenomenal. Loved it. Could have eaten two. (Don't judge. I was road hungry. Hours of driving does strange things to a stomach.) So for the good service, good booze, great food and fun ambiance, this "dive" gets 5 stars from me. Storytime: I overheard two staff talking--I'm guessing one was the floor manager, the other a waitress--about one of the dishes (the Cuban). The mgr. noticed something about the dish was coming out of the kitchen wrong or sloppy, even though none of the customers had sent the dish back. Instead of not caring, since it didn't seem like any guests minded, the girls brought the issue up with the cooks as an FYI. Regardless of this having nothing to do with me, I was impressed. There's the fifth reason for the fifth star. A staff that cares about more than their tip; they care about the quality of the food and the name of the restaurant.

The duck club and duck fat fries are amazing! This has become our new favorite spot in town! You get a lot of food too, often we can share the sandwich and be full, but it is so good you dont want to share! LOL!

Duck club was huge and good - 13.50 though, the fries were tasty but really greasy, and the biscuit could've been skipped. The garlic pickles were awesome! Nice sized mimosa for $3. Waitress was really cool and didn't charge us for the bacon egg and cheese biscuit which was bland and mushy.

How can you go wrong with duck fat everything. Although, the sandwich I had with pork belly and house made kimchi, then grilled, is simply one of the most memorable sandwiches I have ever eaten. Whoa...though if you are looking for anything remotely healthy, this isn't your place. They have a dessert called the Moose Pie which is peanut butter/banana mousse sandwiched between 2 Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies. Enough said about the cardiac intervention you might require if you eat here a lot.

The Smoked Chicken BLT is off the hook in this joint! My husband and son get the Duck Club and rave about it. I did try it but my love affair with that BLT won't allow me to cheat.

Yet another great place Charleston has to offer. Phenomenal food and great beer selection. The happy hour is one of the best around with $2 - 16oz PBR and $2 order of their delicious duck fat fries, which come with a garlic aioli for dipping. It is a small restaurant with wood paneling, wood tables, and barstools for seating. There is also outdoor seating, though its a little cold this time of the year for that. Got here at 6:00 and waited a short bit for a table, but we were able to order a few beers while we waited, and sat down outside. Once seated they were quick to take our order and had great customer service. They have about 20-30 beers to choose from, but the food is what you come for. Their #1 menu item, which you can see from all the reviews, is the duck club with a side of duck fat fries. This sandwich was delicious! Crispy bread, soft warm duck meat, sweet bacon, and full of flavor. However, they have another sandwich on the menu, which was even better in my opinion. The Lucky #1 was a flavor sensation! The homemade kimchi on top of pork belly with a wasabi mayo, combined with the freshness of cucumbers was incredible. Not if, but when I go back, this will be the sandwich I get (I'll just have my wife get the duck club so I can enjoy some of that too). Bottom line, great food, great beer, great atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

Really like their food , However, tonight was a little disappointing . For some reason the fries came out small and did not taste like the regular Duck Fat Fries. Something was off . Plus 8$ for a simple southern and 7drink is way to much to pay . Especially during happy hour. Food is worth it . Drinks NOT!

While vacationing in Seabrook Island, SC, my husband and I decided to use our Food Network app to find an interesting and good place to eat lunch. Visiting the Tattooed Moose was one of the best restaurants we visited in Charleston. I'm so glad we took Guy Fieri of Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives' advice! I loved the "divey" atmosphere with every patron's names etched on the walls, tables and chairs in infamy to the stack of random board games in the corner. After reading past reviews, we just had to try the Duck Club sandwich and the "Lucky #1" sub. The Duck Club is filled with duck con-fit, bacon and cheddar on Hawaiian bread with garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato and red onion. Yes! Please! The duck was so juicy and tender. I didn't want it to end. The "Lucky #1" sub is BBQ braised pork belly topped with house kimchi, tomatoes, cucumbers, crispy onions, cilantro, wasabi mayo and sweet red chili sauce on a toasted roll. Mmmmm. I've never had kimchi before, but the spiciness and tanginess set it off with the sweet chili sauce blend. We shared and devoured both with a side of their hand cut duck fat fries and Charleston's own Holy City Stout. And holy city was it good! Even though we had to be rolled out of there after eating, we had a great time. The atmosphere was cool, the food was excellent and the service was friendly. Thank you Guy!

The duck fries were to die for and the thanksgiving sandwich was just superb. It's a must go! Great beer selection too, and the atmosphere was really fun and hipster/dive bar. Parking was easy and plentiful too, love that.

This place rocks. Looking for a little "foodie" action in Chucktown? This is your place. It's small and gets crowded in the evenings so I'd suggest getting here early if you want to sit at a table. Great beer selection, and well priced with some great happy hour specials. You must start off with the Pimento cheese. Horseradish, bacon, pimento cheese....with sausage. You've got to be kidding me right? Did they read my mind or something? This stuff is perfection. A must have. Duck club is delicious as advertised. Awesome duck confit on an awesome sandwich. My only complaint was that it was a little messy and hard to eat....but really, who cares? Can't wait to try some of their other stuff, but this is just to good to pass up. Fries. Oh the duck fat fries...how you disappointed me. We were working on a 5 star review and you had to ruin it. First, the fries weren't even good. Stale...they found that perfect middle ground between not being crispy and not being soft. And it's not a good middle ground to be in. Second, they had no flavor. Don't duck fat fries usually have MORE flavor? Not less? Get this one figured out guys, it's not working. Overall and awesome place, I'll be back for sure. But maybe sub my fries for more pimento cheese!

A local friend recommended I stop in here during a recent visit, partly because this spot has gotten some national traction (apparently it's been on one of the food network-y shows). The atmosphere tries real hard to be gritty. It is apparently a popular watering hole out toward the highway, as on Sunday afternoon, nearly everybody in the house had a drink of some sort. The staff was pleasant and the crowd was, despite all the imbibing, tame. I got the smoked pulled chicken salad sandwich with bacon. Mayo was slathered on way too thick (see my uploaded photo), but once I scraped all that off, it was satisfying enough. This was an interesting alternative to the typical Chucktown dining scene. But not sure it's worthy of all the hoopla. Note: parking can be a little challenge, but look around and you should eventually find a spot.

3.5 stars. Know what to expect before you go and you'll enjoy it. Dive bar, not in a great area, great food, just OK service. Don't go there and count calories - it won't work. We started with the Hand Cut Duck Fat Fries which are truly awesome. All the sandwiches are great - no bad items here. I had the Lowcountry Cuban again, excellent. Nicely priced, but not huge portions either. Don't think I'll be a regular but would recommend it to someone who's never been.

Almost every friend that I have made since move to Charleston has encouraged me to check out the Tattooed Moose for weekend brunch, and I'm quite glad that I finally did! I came here to escape my family while they were visiting town (and driving me bonkers) for the holidays. It was just what the doctor ordered. The vibe is laid back and hipster-ish (in a cool sort of way). I had a bellini (or two?) and ordered the Duck Hash, while my husband and sister tried out the Garbage Plate. I tasted everything and it was all Mmm Mmm Good! I'll definitely be back to try out the duck club!

Molly J.

One of the best meals I've ever had! Had the duck fat fries with duck gravy and the duck club. So so so flavorful and unique! The atmosphere is quite an experience as well. There is so much to look at and the employees were very nice and overall good/cool people. Will visit again!

First time at the Moose today and it was for lunch. I must say "WOW!". The duck fat fries with the spicey mayo side were fantastic. Loved the Low Country Cuban with the Mojo sauce for dipping and the Pastrami was great with the mustard. Altho it wasn't on rye, that was fine by us; we're not big rye fans so between the buttered bread, the pastrami, and the mustard. Perfection. Definitely recommond for a great samdwiich and a good beer!

Christy K.

My husband really wanted to try the food here before we left the Charleston area. I was just going along because he was excited about it. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent! This is not your typical "dive bar" food. Charleston is one of my favorite cities to visit, but we don't get to visit very often. The food at the Tattooed Moose may help me talk my husband into visiting the area more often!

This place is cool. I was in town working at the port and Yelped it to find a place to eat lunch. This was just up the road so I said why not. Turns out it was a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives stop. The decor is funky and unique, waitstaff are young and friendly, and the place is popular with locals and tourist judging by the dress of the clientele. I got there just after 1130 and it was a good thing. That place got busy quick. Since I was solo I sat at the bar. Asked for some recommendations, was suggested the club or thanksgiving sandwich. I got the Cuban. Had to. Well, it was a great choice, spicy sweet ham, fresh pork, Swiss, pickles, mojo for dipping. Only ate half the sandwich. Their claim to fame is apparently duck fat fries so I got some as a side. Comes with a garlic dipping sauce that was pretty tasty but they're good fries. Thin and crisp. Not sure what difference the duck fat made, but whatever it is they're good. They have a good beer menu but it was not a time to explore it. I'd say I'd go back if given he opportunity. Oh, and the green tomato pickles were good too. Sweet tea was perfect.

Love the Tattooed moose. We have been several times but our most recent experience was for brunch. I got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit which was executed flawlessly. The biscuit was HUGE, buttery and flaky. The bacon was crispy and the egg cooked perfectly. I got a side of grits which were fresh and the perfect amount of buttery/cheesey/salty. They make a great Bloody Mary which pared perfectly. The service could not be more attentive and friendly. They enjoy their job and you can tell.

LOVED the food, drinks and atmosphere. What a lovely place to go to on a Sunday night. We went at 9 pm. One of a few places open at night on a Sunday. The duck sandwich and duck fat fries are amazing. Homemade pickles and picked tomatoes are delicious as well. Parking was not an issue for us bc of the time. Highly recommend.

After seeing what a four and a five means in my other reviews the moose deserves a 5. I will go out of my way to get a duck club and it is still the best sandwich I have ever had

The Yelp mobile app led me here and I'm delighted it did. If you're looking for a new dive bar experience, you'll find it here. I travel all over the country on business and I seek out interesting dive bars and I loved this place. The walls are covered with funky taxidermy with the legendary moose as the centerpiece. This is definitely a rough-around-the-edges kind of place. It looks a little beat up in a good way. When I visited there were half a dozen folks sitting at the bar. Clearly the drink of choice was shots and beer. This is one of those places where if the bartender is good, and mine was, you buy her a shot. If the waitress is within sight, what the hell; buy her a shot also. Are you starting to get the picture? This is dive bar drinking at its best. Many of the reviews rave about the Duck Club and the Duck Fat Fries. I'm not a duck kind of guy so I passed. I ordered the Lowcountry Cuban with Roasted Pork, Ham, Swiss, Sweet & Spicy Green Tomato Pickles, and Spicy Brown Mustard pressed on a Buttered Roll. It cost me $7.75 and tasted fine. The menu makes it sound like you're getting gastro pub level food and that is a little misleading. Expect solid bar food but not a gourmet experience. This is a great place if you just need to have a few drinks and unwind!

It was our first time in, and we were definitely very pleased with every part of our experience! Duck Fat Fries were everything Guy said they would be, the staff was incredibly nice, and we met nearly all of them while we were there! The only reason it's not 5 stars is that we had a habanero pepper slipped under one of our sandwiches, which caused for quite the unwelcome surprise. Luckily none of us were allergic, and the person I was with whose sandwich it was under could handle the burn! Everyone was very apologetic, I would just suggest looking under your meal before you enjoy! Great place!

After seeing this place on a Diners, Drive Ins and Dived we made a point to stop in while in Charleston for a cruise. It absolutely lived up to our expectations! From the small dive atmosphere and friendly staff to the great food and good prices, we became instant fans! I had the chorizo philly and it was delicious. The fries were great, too! If we find ourselves back in the area, we would definitely be back to try more of their yummy goodies!

Small place that doesn't offer a great deal of parking, but the food was awesome. Had two meals today in town and both were great. Got the duck club and the French fries with gravy. My wife and I shared a chocolate-bacon pie. The pie was alright, but it was the sandwich and fries that really stuck out. If you're looking for some high quality bar food, this is the place. This meal likely took a few weeks off of my life, but I'm not doing much of anything important anyway so I'm alright with it.

Tattooed Moose has been featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" and few would contend that this place is anything other than a dive. I recently ventured to Tattooed Moose for Sunday Brunch after reading the stellar reviews on Yelp; unfortunately, the tattoo needle must have been misaligned, as my experience was largely underwhelming. Food: Tattooed Moose specializes in cheap American bar fare. Their claim to fame is the "Duck Club", which is essentially a duck confit sandwich with smoked apple and cheddar cheese on Hawaiian bread. In hindsight, I should have ordered this; however, I was ultimately lured away by the peanut butter and french toast that was featured on the brunch menu. In theory, this dish had the potential to be absolutely epic; in reality, it was two depressing slices of wonder bread stuffed with government peanut butter and accompanied by two gristly pieces of bacon. Fortunately, the dish was preceded by an order of the roasted garlic and blue cheese duck fat fries, which were glorious; the dish was served with a whole bulb of confit garlic, which the staff prompted you to squeeze over the fries prior to eating. Service: Although the staff were incredibly friendly, the service was abominable. It didn't appear that a single waiter was responsible for each table, as we had three different staff members service the table at varying periods throughout the meal. On several occasions, nearby diners actually got up from their tables to either obtain their check or to request condiments and drink refills. The surprising aspect of it all was that the staff really didn't seem to be phased by the fact that patrons were resorting to serving themselves. Atmosphere: There isn't much ambience at this place, but it's the perfect location for a drink or to watch a sporting event. The do have an outdoor patio, but the restaurant is located in an industrial area on the outskirts of downtown Charleston, so there isn't much to be seen. Unfortunately, those wishing to dine on the outdoor patio are also subjected to the parade of smokers puffing away along its exterior. Cost: Mostly inexpensive. Appetizers are between $4 and $7, while sides are around $2. Specialty sandwiches and brunch options are mostly $7 to $8; however, the infamous "duck club", which isn't accompanied by any sides, is a whopping $13.50. Other: There are multiple free parking options in and around Tattooed Moose. However, whatever you do, don't park in the mechanic shop lot to the right of the restaurant; apparently there isn't a very cordial relationship between the establishments and the mechanic shop will have your car towed, even during non-business hours.

This was our first time eating here since over a year ago. We experienced the worst service last time and this was for a to go order. We were completely ignored and there were about 6 or 7 staff members. But after being ignored for about 15-20 minutes, someone actually decided to help us. But today was different, and we decided to eat in instead of ordering to go. Business was pretty slow and the promptness and delivery of our food were pretty quick! Our server was nice and attentive and the food was good! We always get the Roasted Garlic Bleu Cheese Fries and the Mike's Famous Duck Club Sandwich. I love how their fries are cooked in duck fat. I devoured the roasted garlic bulb that came with it since I am a garlic fanatic. Their Duck Club sandwich is huge, but the duck was a little on the dry side and the bread was extremely thin. I actually like their BBQ Baked Beans since it compliments well with the Duck Club sandwich! The prices are slightly pricey since the sandwich itself was $13, but will definitely try something else when we return.

The rumor about the fries is not overstated. They are worth the trip all by themselves. I loved the environment and the people. I had a duck sandwich, it was kinda oily but overall good food, great environment for a night out. Will return.

I fell in love with Tattooed Moose as soon as I saw the menu, but it was even better than I expected when I actually got the chance to go. In fact, I made a point to go back during a quickie weekend trip despite all the other amazing food on offer in Charleston, SC because the place is just that awesome! The ambiance is very low key with a generous splash of artistic humor (e.g., sunglasses on the taxidermy, giant acorn bar lighting, graffittied jenga). The service is very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a few different servers and they were consistently passionate about the restaurant and the food, which was pretty awesome! The food is first class and justifiably hyped with several must-order items: 1. Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries ($8.50) - hand cut duck fat fries smothered in blue cheese with a whole bulb of roasted garlic. The way to eat the garlic is to squeeze all the garlic out of the cloves and mix it into the cheese and fries. Eat quickly if there are other people at the table. Believe me when I say it'll be gone before you know it! 2. Mike's Famous Duck Club ($13.50) - big and bad a$$ with lots of succulent duck meat, apple smoked bacon, smoked cheddar and garlic aioli on sweet Hawaiian bread. Unless you are incredibly hungry, I'd recommend sharing an order with another person. Between the sandwich and the fries, you'll have a truly memorable meal! PARTING THOUGHT: Parking is a bit tricky in the back as a few spaces are reserved. Be sure to check the signs to make sure that you won't be towed. You can also park along the road in front if there are spaces available.

This was always one of our Favorite places to go and eat. Very dissapointed in our last visit. Service was terrible. We ordered a basket of the duck fries and the waitress brought us this handful of happy hour fries in a basket that were flavorless. They also brought out the pickled tomatoes, but we're were the sandwiches. When the sandwiches arrived they had nowhere the meat on them that they use to. Also prices have been creeping up. I guess money has to go to the new place. Was so hoping to take friends there when they visit this month, but looks like we will be looking for another place

We are here on vacation and were simply searching Yelp for a lunch spot. We arrived around 1:30 and were seated. The waitress was friendly and recommended Mikes Famous Duck Club and a basket of Duck Fat fries. I need to first confess that I'm not a huge fan of duck, but she was convincing and my fiancÃ© and I ended up ordering 2 duck clubs. It was possibly the best sandwich we have ever had and the fries were amazing. Needless to say we will try to eat there one more time before we leave. I would highly recommend. The only think I can say is seating is somewhat limited so be prepare to wait for a few minutes.

I was fortunate enough to get to go to Charleston, SC with a dear friend this week. I only had 2 requests: 1, I wanted to stick my toes in the Atlantic, and 2, I wanted to try out the Tattooed Moose. The Atlantic thing I had done before... but the Moose I had only seen on TV and the internet. OMG where has this food been all of my life? We arrived after the "lunch rush" (around 2pm). The restaurant wasn't "packed" but it was fairly busy. Also, this place is MUCH smaller inside than it appears on TV! No worries though. I wanted to try EVERYTHING on the menu - but since that isn't possible, my friend and I each ordered a different sandwich and shared half. We also shared a basket of the duck fat fries. YUM - but WAY too many for 2 people to eat. We shared a "Lucky #1" and a very big burger (with added pork belly). I have determined that pork belly, prepared as they do at the Moose, should be an essential food group. Seriously. My mouth is watering just thinking about it 3 days later. It is succulent, flavorful, tender, juicy, and totally foodgasmic. Since everyone and their brother has written novellas about the sandwiches (and rightly so!) I think I'll comment on another item... the pickles they make there. Green tomato pickles... nice and zippy, and vinegary, and YUM! The green tomato pickles were still firm... but PERFECTLY brined. I asked if they jarred them to sell. They don't. Yet. We also shared a cup of the smokey tomato soup. Very VERY good. Smokey, a little spicy, and full of flavor. Tastes like it is infused with Chorizo. Yeah, it works. :) They also have about a zillion different beers. I'm not a big beer drinker, but if you are, I would imagine they have a few choices for you. Would I go back? Hell yes. I'd be back there this afternoon if it weren't such a long drive (I'm in Georgia). Go. Bring friends. Share the fries. And think about me when you get to eat the pork belly. Sigh.

Decided to try this with the family. We were able to get a table right away, but it filled up quickly while we were there. I have to say the food is okay. Not really as spectacular as the reviews had me believe. My burger was good. It's hard to mess that up. Husband had the club which was also good but not great and my son had the Cuban which he did say was a wonderful sandwich. Very disappointed in the fries. Tasted like greasy soggy regular french fries. I do have to say the garlic aioli is fantastic. It's the only thing that made the fries taste good. Not someplace I would return to again.

Awesome food! The bf wanted to try this place after seeing it on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We shared a basket of the Roasted Garlic and Bleu Cheese Duck Fat Fries and each ordered Mike's Famous Duck Club sandwich. For the basket of fries, we were told to squeeze the roasted garlic's juice all over the fries. The fries were fresh. I loved the bleu cheese along with it. The duck club was really good. They use Hawaiian bread for it which was a nice touch. The duck was yummy. It was difficult to keep it all together though, probably because of the bread. It was a big sandwich for me but I was able to finish it. I noticed an aftertaste with the bread which slowed me down towards the end. Nonetheless, really enjoyed the food. We went for dinner with minimal lighting inside. We ate at the bar to be closer to the TV which had no sound or closed captioning.. So don't expect to enjoy anything they have on besides sports. The guy who was bar tending and taking our orders was cool. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service and would come back again.

Get the duck club! It's enough for 2 people especially if you get an appetizer. I'd recommend the garlic fries. You get fresh cooked bulbs of garlic on top! The service is good. The menu is small. The music is loud. The food is delicious & unique! The atmosphere is divey. Come here for a good beer and unique bar food. Don't come here looking for peace of quiet and healthy food. This place is also dog friendly with a patio and hosts great events and bands!

I guess the thing to order here was the duck club?? I didn't get the memo... opted for the pork belly kimchi sub and I was not disappointed. It's probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Service was friendly. Would eat here again if I'm ever back in Charleston.

If you do nothing else while in Charleston, you must make sure to stop in at the Tattooed Moose. When you walk in you are greeted by moose heads hanging from the walls and pinball machines next to tables. My girlfriend and I walked in to a nearly capacity crowd and were lucky enough to find one open table in the place. We were quickly attended to by our waitress who a few minutes later brought us our cold, tall boy cans of cider. After hearing about the famous duck confit sandwich and duck fat fries, we really didn't need menus as we knew exactly what to order. Lets just say that this sandwich lives up to every bit of hype it receives. Loaded with meaty duck, bacon, mayo, lettuce and tomato, it makes for a mouthful of flavor. The duck fat fries were above average but wouldn't go as far as to say the best I've ever had. On the other hand, the duck confit sandwich is hands down the best sandwich I have ever eaten.

- Greeted by an unenthusiastic waitress. - Ordered the nation wide famous duck club, as seen on tv, and it came out in no more than 3 minutes (this is not a positive thing). - Duck was ridiculously dry. - Bread is too thin, and/or not toasted enough, to r

Great place to grub in an interesting part of town. The duck fat fries did not disappoint. I suggest having a pbr with your mean in a place like this!

I came here with the intent on ordering the duck club and fries with blue cheese, so the small menu had no impact on me. I would have liked to see maybe a few more options though, and I usually don't say that! My mom was in the mood for a vegetarian option that wasn't portobello, (just because she wasn't in the mood for meat) but she ordered the wings and ended up saying they were some of the best she'd ever had! The duck club lived up to it's expectations. Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The bread really made it. Fries were very good as well. Would definitely recommend! Also, I got there during the week on a Wednesday around 1pm, and there was no wait.

The duck club sandwich is so dang good...one of my favorite sandwiches anywhere. It's plenty big enough for two if you're not too hungry. It's a messy sandwich so be prepared ahead of time for that...I had to eat parts of it with a fork and definitely needed my share of napkins. The wide amazing tastes in every bite made up for the fact it was a messy sandwich that's for sure. The atmosphere of the place is definitely more dive bar than anything else. The duck fat fries are also great.

For what this place is, a dive bar, it is unbeatable in Charleston. The best happy hour by far. 50 cent wings. $2 for a big basket of duck fat fries w/ garlic aeoli. $2 PBRs. My wife and I can both eat our fill and drink two tall boys each and w/ a 25% tip our bill is about $20. Try the Duck club, best $14 you'll spend on a gourmet sandwich. Weird, friendly staff, nice patio area and board games. An ideal place to go for a laid back time that doesn't break the bank.

It's like your local pub got violated by a high end restaurant then 9 months later the Tattooed Moose was born. Pure gaspub with all the trimmings. Cool staff. Plenty of freedom to leave your mark on the bar. Perfect relaxed post work spot topped of with quality grub.

I love this place. I have had several of the sandwiches and have loved each one. The duck club is the best. Good staff and good drinks. If your in Charleston this is a must try.

OMG, yum. Okay, so maybe this isn't the cleanest, most welcoming place ever, and maybe the scribbles on the wall are a bit tacky and oftentimes inappropriate, but whatever--their food is good. After reading several reviews, I knew I just HAD to order the duck fat fries and duck club. The duck fat fries were pretty good--hand cut, and there is a slight crisp to some of the pieces. We ordered a side of the duck fat gravy and honestly, it is pretty salty and lifeless, so I would save a couple of bucks and skip that. We ended up just dipping our fries in ketchup instead to add some excitement. And then....The Duck Club. I am not lying when I say I finished my entire first half without putting it down, not once. It was easily one of the best club sandwiches I have ever enjoyed. I can't exactly point out what makes their duck club so wonderfully awesome, but I didn't have much time to ponder this between my excited bites. The ingredients are fresh, the duck is plentiful, the sauce is just right....oh and the bread is even perfectly soft and delicious without being too soft. For $13 a pop and no side, I thought this was expensive at first but I would gladly eat a hundred more of these. Oh and my boyfriend had the burger, and he loved that as well. Try the duck club!!!

It's a dive in the best way possible. If I weren't from out of town, I'd be here all the time. Great happy hour specials like $2 fries, 50 cent wings, cheap domestic beer ($2), etc. Ordered the famous duck confit sandwich and I couldn't put it down...it totally lived up to it's name. Server was friendly and had good beer knowledge. After spending 5 days in Charleston, I asked my bf what his favorite meal was and this was it (duck sandwich). It's not too far from downtown so if you're visiting don't hesitate to make it here at least for happy hour or lunch.

Dont make the mistake of coming here and not getting the Duck Club - wow, just wow. Having lived in Charleston so long Im embarrassed to say this is my first time at the Tattooed Moose but I can guarantee it wont be the last. The sandwich was amazing and we had a great meal complete with $6 High Life pitchers while sitting on the patio. One of my friends did have the PB and banana french toast and was not that impressed, "not enough PB flavor" she said. If youre reading this, stop right now and go enjoy one of the best sandwiches in Charleston.

I dig the tattoed moose. I came here with some buddies for some food to start a bachelor weekend and the place ended up being a perfect fit for the start of the night. The must-try dish here is the duck club with the duck fat french fries. Its delicious. The service is consistently slow every time I go here, but its not a big deal. If you're hanging out for a long time in the evening playing a rousing game of giant jenga, then there is no rush.

I've been here a few times, and I am really glad to see a more vegetarian-friendly menu! I got the grilled cheese with tomato and a cup of tomato soup, because I just wasn't in the mood for a portobello mushroom sandwich (the new vegetarian option is to sub in a mushroom for the meat on any of their usual sandwiches.) The grilled cheese was good enough, but the soup was absolutely amazing. It was well seasoned, not too smoky, and the texture was really nice. Perfect for a rainy afternoon. My parents shared the Duck Club and the Lucky #1 and left the restaurant arguing about whose sandwich was better, which is pretty high praise. They have a great beer selection here too, and any bar/restaurant with Big Buck Hunter is bound to win me over.

Robert W.

Food here is REALLY GOOD. The duck fat fries with duck gravy.. Well that's all I'm gonna say about that! Had the braised pork belly sandwich and may have dipped my sandwich in the duck gravy that was left. My wife had the Cuban which she like but was just average to me. Awesome selection of craft beer and although we didn't have room for dessert, the couple next to us had the bread pudding and it was the size of my head. . You won't leave hungry from this place!

Mike C.

Nice small business. The food here is delicious, staff is nice, and the drink special are on point. With most of the items cooked in duck fat how can you go wrong with that. This is a bar so just keep that in mind if you plan on bringing little ones. There is a nice lay back atmosphere I would definitely eat here again.

Devonshire B.

This will be short and sweet. Both the Duck Club and the Lucky #1 Sub are frickin' delicious. I preferred the duck, as banh mi isn't my forte. However, it still had a 'wow' factor from me. It was packed full of flavour. The duck fat fries were decent. I think I'm more in love with the name of the fries than the actual taste though. They seem a little harder and thinner than what I'd expect them to be. Still edible! The pickles (not spicy) and green tomatoes (spicy) were AWESOME. They're a must. All in all, I wish I lived here so I could come back for seconds and thirds. Such is life!

My colleague and I had lunch there and it was fantastic! We had the Lucky sub, Duck club with some duck fat fries, great location near the port for us and sure helpful staff.

2 words: Duck club! I had heard about this place from my friend, who saw it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and I knew I just had to come! We ordered the duck club ($13.50) with a side of soup (smoky tomato). Both were delicious! One bite of the duck club and I was like, "oh my gosh, this is the best duck sandwich I have EVER had in my life!" Its fatty goodness was oh-so-delicious... can't have it regularly for sure but you must try it at least once!!! Wish I could find something as awesome here in LA... ah well, just another excuse to come visit Charleston! :) The soup was very good too! Not too creamy and very hearty.

Ok, here's the thing. Once you have been on DDD, and your place becomes the 'in' place, you have to step up to the plate! You need to handle the customers that arrive, a little bit better than you did, if at all. What I mean is, the person who cleans the tables, cannot be the Hostess! People need to be seated, names taken, and wait times explained. I know you're there for the food, but you have to have a clean place also. You cannot keep people waiting for someone to come to the table. You staff has to be neat and clean. A tee-shirt with "Local whore" written on it, just does not get it anymore. The food is presented in baskets with paper in it so that any grease and oils do not leak out. There is writing all over the walls. I guess it makes the place different, but just make sure that kids who can read do not do so. I rate a place by asking myself would I bring back friends, the answer here is no. When you become famous, clean up your act. It's not just food that make people come back. FrankG

Exceptional bar food. Really fun place with a good beer selection. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table but the pinball machine made the time go by much faster. A must try is the duck sandwich. I literally gained 2 pounds on the scale the next day and it was absolutely worth it.

I prefer this as a late-night stop on Friday/Saturday. After a late-night of bar-hopping, we cabbed it up to Tattooed Moose. Totally worth the short trip from Upper King. This is the epitome of a Dive (which I love). The Duck Club and Fries, as others have said -- can't go wrong with those picks. Insane flavors!
(4)
Mike M.

Small bar/restaurant. My wife and I went there for lunch last Saturday. Parking was a little strange, but no big deal. I had the duck club and the blue cheese fries, both of which were great. The fries were super rich. My wife had the burger, and as picky as she is she really enjoyed it. Looking forward to eating there again soon.

Dinner Apr 21 (at about 10pm) A happening, trendy and hipster dive bar in a not so great area of Charleston. I actually saw a girl wearing leather pants, 2 guys wearing bow ties, one guy wearing a white suite with sandals, and another guy that looked exactly like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. All the while drinking PBR and playing Yahtzee at the table. Now onto the food..... Love the menu. Everything is uniquely made and different. From the mayo-aioli for the homemade fries, to the made to order sandwiches --- all very, very good and at wickedly reasonable prices...basket of fries and 2 sandwiches were $21. Beef Brisket sandwich was best I had ever had - sorry Texans! Lucky #1 sandwich was bursting with flavors ( that's plural)...BUT be warned- that wasabi mayo will light your mouth, nose and stomach up! That meal is NOT for the faint of heart!

The Duck Club was fantastic. Fries with the garlic dipping sauce were good except I love salt on fries and these were too salty. I did not have to consider picking up the salt shaker. I almost sent them back. Wings were fine, not my style of wings. The atmosphere is awesome. I will go back next visit and stick with duck club and ask for unsalted fries.

Great Charleston restaurant located off the beaten path. We have been looking forward to visiting this restaurant after we saw it in Drive Ins, Dinners and Dives. We got there at 11:30 on. Saturday when they opened and thank goodness we did. After 30 minutes there was a wait. I had the "Lucky #1" Sub which is a BBQ Braised Pork Belly, Seared on the Grill, Topped with House Made Kimchi, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Crispy Onions, Cilantro, Wasabi Mayo, & Sweet Red Chili Sauce, All on a Roll! It was out of site. Nancy had the "Moose" Burger which was a 1/2 Pound Pan Fried Beef Patty, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, & Pickles topped with Garlic Aioli & Special Sauce on a Toasted Kaiser Bun! It was Moosetastic!!! We split an order of the duck fat fries. Will surely return on our next trip to Charleston.

I haven't had a sandwich here that was less than amazing. I've been here about 5 times, and I'll be coming back. Probably my favorite place in the Charleston area. If it's your first time, get the duck confit sandwich, you won't be disappointed.

Jessica S.

Dive bar on the far north end where Meeting St meets Morrison Drive. It's definitely off the beaten path, but that's part of why it's so great. You can write on the tables with Sharpies. Duck fat fries are amazing. Keep in mind, this is a dive bar---you are getting dive bar food. Don't go here thinking you're going to get a 5 star meal. It's greasy bar food, at its best!

Visited the in-laws and went on a DDD tour, this was our first stop. Duck fat fries were great, just the blue cheese topping was a little much. I got the duck club and my wife got the pork belly sandwich and we both voted the pork belly the winner. Don't get me wrong both very good sandwiches but the pork belly won the war. Can't wait to visit again!

On the way back from a grueling work-related morning, a small group of us stopped in to the Tattooed Moose at the request of the "leader" of our group. Parking was a bit of a pain, but well worth the three circles around the block that it took to find a space (of course, that could also be a driver issue. . .) The duck-fat fries, obviously, were DELICIOUS. But the sandwiches. . .ohhhh. . .the sandwiches. . .I'll be dreaming of my "Thanksgiving Leftover" sandwich for days to come. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry-mayo and this ridiculously delicious gravy for dipping. I was pretty much mopping that stuff up with my sandwich. . .and I DON'T EVEN LIKE GRAVY. I HATE gravy, as a matter of general fact. But this stuff. . .oh. . .I want a small bowl of it included with any meal I have from this day forward. I wonder if they deliver? Anyway, my friends/co-workers ordered the Duck Club and the Brisket; each with a side of fries. The portions were generous and the food was just. . .perfection. At least, I THINK it was. In all honesty, I didn't get to taste the brisket, since it was GONE before we all asked each other how each person's meal was. I can't wait to go back for a happy hour to order from what looked like an extensive wine list. The decor in the restaurant is. . .you know. . ."hipster quirky" I guess. The tables have graffitti all over them, there's taxidermied animals and a game. It's also very small, so I can see how there could be a bit of a wait if you were there during a rush (we were not). Also, I wouldn't suggest this place for a first date. There isn't a woman on this planet who could appear "lady-like" while eating a meal here. I was licking my fingers, had food all over my face, gravy . . .everywhere. I was like a starved dog. Save it for a third or fourth date. . .you know, the kind of place where you take a date when you REALLY want to see an honest version of them. The food is so delicious, no one will be able to be anything but their most authentic, chow-hounding self. Go, go, go! It's worth it.

The duck far fries with the bleu cheese were great, but the salad was awful- it tasted like nothing. I definitely should have ordered the duck sandwich like some people have suggested.

Seth H.

Great food and good beer! What more could you want? This place was featured on Guy Fieri's DDD's, and for good reason. The Duck Club is a "must try" as is the Cuban, and the Reuben. Don't skip the "Duck Fat fries", I was a little disappointed in the Brisket Sandwich, which was to say it was "great" instead of "awesome". I eat here regularly, and strongly recommend to anyone looking for a good meal and some drinks.

My husband and I stopped by on our way through Charleston--so glad we did! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Great dive bar with interesting everything! Business attire not required!!!!

Torn about this place, the food is absolutely amazing but the atmosphere is not my style. It is a very small place, and the AC vents drip from condensation, so be mindful where you set your drinks. I get an "unsanitary" vibe from the surrounding lot based on sight and stench. Not handicap friendly, nor do I think overweight people would even be able to maneuver into the restrooms. I do suggest the brunch garbage plate and the Bloody Mary.

Thanks to a suggestion from a reader on Yelp! I found my newest gem, the Tattooed Moose. I've never been to the Moose but people I know swear by it. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Charleston the Tattooed Moose is a restaurant you don't want to miss. When you walk in, you can't help but notice the huge stuffed moose head mounted on the wall. The bartender explained that the moose was actually killed and stuffed by a family and when finished, they realized that it wouldn't fit in the house so they sold it on ebay. Thankfully it's found a good home. The restaurant is small, and with outdoor tables has seating for about 50+ people. We sat at the bar and smiled at the "moose memorabilia" that was not to be outdone by the "stuffed squirrels". This lodge-like- feel-of-a-place offers a small, but interesting menu. The five "snacks" include items such as Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries and a Basket O' Corn Dogs. They offer two salads; The Santa Fe, which can be ordered with a scoop of Smoked Chicken Salad on it, or the small side salad. The Specialty Sandwiches are served with the House Made Garlicky Dill and Spicy Sweet Green Tomato Pickles that were incredible. You can get a side of Duck Fat Fries ($1.75) or BBQ Baked Beans or Cilantro-Lime Slaw for $1.00. The sandwiches were unique in their own right. Mike's Famous "Duck Club" led the list. Where have you ever seen a club sandwich with Duck Confit or a Smoked Chicken Salad BLT? Many, if not all of the items were inviting and it was difficult to decide. After an abysmal attempt at a Reuben by the King Street Grille the other day I ordered the Reuben to see if my Reuben 'jones' could be satisfied. Prior to this, I thought that Graze's (Mt. Pleasant) version of a Reuben was quite possibly one of the best I had ever eaten. But move over Graze, there is a new Moose in town. The Reuben had melt in your mouth corned beef and was topped with cheddar cheese (my request), sauerkraut and 1,000 island dressing. It was served on perfectly toasted rye bread and was piping hot. My husband ordered the Lucky #1 sandwich. The sandwich had BBQ pork belly, a thinly sliced pickle, tomato, cheese, crispy fried onions, cilantro and wasabi aioli all served on a toasted hoagie roll. We also added a side of Cilantro-Lime Slaw at the last minute. My husband felt lucky ordering the Lucky #1 a concoction of flavors that he couldn't stop eating. The cilantro-lime slaw lacked flavor but we barely had room for it anyway. The Tattooed Moose is a true gem and should definitely be on your list of places to try!

Great food and neighborhood atmosphere! A good local place with wonderful service. The duck fat fries and the duck club are two reasons to come. Diners Drive Ins and Dives (Guy) had it right when he said this place is great.

Grace S.

I got the thanksgiving dinner sandwich and fries with duck fat. They also make their own dipping sauce for the fries. Total party in my mouth. The restaurant had a lot of character and the overall vibe was fairly laid back. The food combinations are unique; my foodie friend got the triple stack duck sandwich and it didn't disappoint. We sat in the outdoor patio area right next to a herb bed full of chocolate mint and Rosemary. The chefs and bartenders incorporate home grown herbs in their sandwiches and drinks which I think is an absolutely wonderful use of space and resources. This is probably one of the best places to eat in Charleston. Absolutely loved it!

We went to Tattooed Moose because we saw it on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This is a funny dive on Morrison Drive near the 26. Because it was only 6:00 PM, there was a table for two available. It is not a large joint - about 15 tables and a bar inside and about 8 tables outside. There are moose heads on the wall and graffiti (encouraged) on the walls and tables. The servers were super attentive and prompt. For dinner, DH ordered the Lucky #1 Sub with Duck Fat Fries. The sub was a grilled roll with a slice of barbeque braised pork belly (done in-house) that is topped with homemade kimchi, tomatoes, cucumbers, crispy onions, cilantro, wasabi mayo, and sweet red chili sauce. Wowza! The grilled roll was crunchy on the outside but still soft on the inside. The pork belly was lean and UBER tender; some of the best that I have ever had. The veggies on top provided a sweet counter to the spicy chili sauce and mayo as well as an excellent crunch. He loved the duck fat fries and the garlic aioli as well. I ordered the Smoked Chicken Salad BLT, which was house smoked chicken that was shredded and tossed with mayo and topped with peppered bacon, romaine, and green and red tomatoes on whole wheat bread. The smokiness really came through on the chicken because it was not overdressed, and it was very moist. The bacon was crisp and went really well with the smoky salad, all of which was brought home with the spicy green tomato and the sweet red tomatoes. The whole wheat bread was very fresh - I would not be surprised if they bake it in house. I ordered Cilantro Lime Slaw on the side, which was shredded cabbage tossed with cilantro in a sweet lime vinaigrette. I would have added some mustard to the dressing, but it was very good. I just love mustard in my slaw. By the time dinner was finished, we were stuffed! I am so happy that we came here - the food AND the service are AWESOME. If you have to pick one sandwich, make sure that you pick the Lucky #1. The pork belly is some of the best that I have ever had.

Sharkus N.

The Duck Club Sandwich is the single greatest sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. I cannot even write any other words to describe how tasty it is and how great a texture it has. The fries were also great, but were totally overshadowed by the sandwich. The happy hour specials are great - cheap beer and drinks! The service friendly and fast and the decor is divey yet suitable for all comers. The location is a bit out of the way and if walking from downtown Charleston (about a 40 minute walk) it can lead you through some undesirable areas of the city. Take a taxi or rent a car.

BRING BACK THE THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER SANDWICH. Seriously, one of the best sandwiches in Charleston. I won't go back until it's returned to the menu.

Allen R.

Even though this place has been on diners, drive-in's, and dives, I would classify this place as a dive. We got there around 5 pm and sat outside. Waited 15 minutes, not one wait staff would come help us. We go inside and ask if someone can serve us outside. The lady said "no problem." We go back outside and wait another 10 minutes before no one come out. Finally, we go inside and just sit down. Someone finally comes and serves us. I got the duck club with the duck fries. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SPECIAL, especially coupled with really terrible service. I guess Guy get's great service when he goes there but just the average person they acted like they could have cared less if anyone was there. The duck sandwich was just another sandwich that I could have tasted about anywhere. There wasn't any really mind blowing flavors that stood out to me and it was all just piled together. The duck fries are disgusting because they are so greasy and soggy and I can't stand soggy fries. Very, very disappointing place.

Sharon I.

This was a little off the beaten path, but I think the Duck Club was worth it. Good combination of ingredients and very tasty. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside where there is much smoking and that I didn't like, but love the sandwich and duck fat fries! And this place is very casual.

OMG just went today for Brunch. Had the garbage plate (housemade smoked meats, scrambled eggs, duck fat fries & gravy), significant other had duck club and dad-in-law had the duck hash..yes I said DUCK hash..all was to die for! Super staff and really great beer selection...can't wait to go back and try more beers and more great food...run don't walk here!

This place is an overhyped hipsterfest. Food wasn't bad, but I felt like I had to order everything (or risk never ordering) when the server came around because she was obviously not interested in doing her job. The happy hour is nice, with $4 shots of most everything, maybe I would have had another if the service wasn't so bad (also never got our waters, but server didn't come back until I had my CC on the table in obvious pay mode). The funny thing is that when these obviously tatted, multiple pierced, tight wearing jeans dudes walked in I said to my wife, 'five bucks these guys order PBR's and get great service.' I kid you not, 2 tall boys of PBR later and the server was all about getting them the service the rest of us people with self respect deserve. Don't think I'll be back, although the duck confit club was pretty good, though very heavy on the bread. The BBQ brisket was nothing special either.

We meet up with a friend here for the last few hours in charleston. The selection of beer was amazing and the food was better than just typical bar food. We had the duck far fries, a moose burger and their pimento cheese spread. The food mixed perfect with the atmosphere and beer selection.

Kym Y.

One of our friends found this on yelp and talked us into meeting them there. When we walked in we were a bit concerned. It really looks like a dive, people have used markers and written all over the tables, chairs, walls and pretty much everwhere they could. However the food was great! Hubby had the Duck club which he said was fabulous and I had a bacon cheese burger, it was huge 1/2 pound! The fries are their specialty. Hand cut and served with either duck gravy ( we did not try this so can not comment on it) or garlic aioli, which we pretty good. Anyways I learned not to judge a book by the cover with this place!

My favorite Dive in all of Charleston! In a city that is know for its good eats this dive bar holds its own. You can never go wrong with their Burger and Duck Fat fries. However this is a small joint so if you go, go early or plan on waiting or eating outside. Also be forwarned its a little hipstery. Also they make a killer brunch!

I had the low-country Cuban and my husband had the Duck Club, both were wonderful!! We stopped here on our way to Folly on recommendation of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and so glad we did. They have plenty of beer and the waitstaff is genuinely nice. Just a great "dive" with nice people and wonderful food!!

Walter P.

It's located in its own little niche downtown with very little around it, but it was well worth the detour. First, their beer selection is vast. I had the Laughing Skull amber, which was a pretty tasty beer from Atlanta. They pretty much had any beer you can imagine with some of my favorites like Allahash White and Abita Purple Haze. The food was well prepared with a very short wait. I am pretty sure I came in after a lunch rush, but no one seemed upset or discontent due to a ridiculous wait. I had the duck club with duck fat fries. It was so tasty and rich. The meat was full of flavor, and the bread added to the taste. Well worth the price.

Larla B.

Had the classic duck club and duck fat fries. The reviews aren't exaggerating when they say how delicious the famous sandwich and fries are. They deserve 5 stars on their own. The sandwich is the most expensive thing on the menu, It's worth every penny. Most other items are under $10. I'm going with a solid four just because the rest of their menu is just ok. My friend got the salad and it wasn't that great. I assure you, she tried mine and had a serious case of food envy. But honestly... Don't come here for the salad....that's just a crying shame. I tried their drink special which was basically a pineapple juice mimosa they called "pineapple wine" which was served in a regular sized drink cup on ice. Kinda strange, and a whole lot of champagne! Couldn't taste much pineapple which was disappointing. Overall- bring some friends and come here to relax, have a few drinks and be very very full.

We went for local beer and duck fat fries. We were not disappointed by the local beers and excellent bartenders. However, the celebrated duck fat fries were a disappointment. They were limp and oily (probably from frying in too-cold oil) and did not have much of a duck fat flavor to them. I could only imagine that the fat is cut with another frying fat to keep the cost down. We got it them with both the gravy and the aioli to compare. The gravy was pretty boring, but the aioli was ridiculously good. It saved the fries from being a total bust, but I won't make a special trip for them again. However, this is a perfect after-work beer place if it's on your way home. I'm coming back to try the duck sandwich in the future. Otherwise, this place will likely just be a stop on a future bar crawl that will end at Edmund's Oast. In even better news, they disinfected any trace of uber-douchiness that Guy Fieri left on his travels for DD&D.

Thanksgiving club sandwich and duckfat fries. YES. PLEASE. My son and I enjoyed playing one of the many board games that They have out for your enjoyment.

I did like this place, it is definitely not " main stream" and by no means " the norm " the menu is cool and creative, duck is the star player. I had the so called ultimate sandwich with shredded duck, cheese, bacon, and tomato, lettuce etc etc. it was awesome! I love the garlic fries, whole cloves of roasted garlic right on top of the fries. It is a very casual place with interesting decor, and well worth a visit. Just in case you didn't know, it was also featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

The best Sammie ive everrrr had!! Lucky #1 sub! It looks like it was trademarked too so more reason to come here. Apparently this place was on diners, drive ins and dives. It's a regular old bar with semi awk placed seats.. I wasn't expecting much.. Not at all. My sister and her bf live in charleston now so they come often.. They ordered the pate melt and the duck club (also trademarked). My bf and I ordered the lucky #1 and the duck club. The pate melt was two slices of a pate loaf.. More meat than liver.. On reg toasted bread with cheese.. I tried some.. It was decent. I prefer more liver in my pates. The duck club was duck confit on the bottom with bacon, then Hawaiian bread, then the veggie toppings.. Maybe pickled tomatoes, cucumbers and onions? Can't remember. The lucky #1 was a slice of pork belly.. Fried to give it the perfect crisp while still having a soft inside.. Cucumber slices, house made kimchi and a couple other toppings I'm sure. The bread was perfect.. It didn't get soggy like the pate melt.. Wasn't too sweet like the duck club.. It held the sub together perfectly. Every component brought the perfect sweetness, spiciness, saltiness and creaminess.. Everything had the perfect texture too.. I LOVE texture and crunchy things. This was my sisters favorite Sammie too.. She just wanted to try something diff when she got the pate.. And her bf go to is the pastrami.. I'm not sure how he felt about his club. I liked this place so much I wanted to bring some back to Maryland! But seeing as how we had to drive 8+ hours the bf decided that wasn't a good idea. Him and I swapped half our sandwiches... We had my lucky #1 first... Then I took a bite of the club and instantly regretted swapping with him. Or regretted eating mine first! He said the same thing. Deffff will come back here if I visit my sister again. Best damn Sammie/sub EVER! Now I believe in guy fieri... Hopefully he won't disappoint.

Duck club and the fries are awesome, friendly staff. It's a little dive but the food is excellent.

Absolutely the best thing I had while i was in Charleston. We went late on a Saturday night and started with drinks. The bartender was super helpful and the drinks were great. She actually told us to run down to Edmund's Oast and try some food there first, which I will also be reviewing, because they stopped serving food at 11pm and the Tattooed Moose serves until 1 AM. I found it extremely tasteful that the local places stick together and recommend other places in town as well. I ordered the must have as found on yelp, the Duck Club and it was the best sandwich I have ever had. I devoured the sandwich down to the last bite. It has such a great combination of flavors that just melt in your mouth. We went on Saturday night and upon getting back out in the morning the first place we went was back to Tattooed Moose for another Duck Club and Bloody Mary's. The drinks were great as well. I found them to be subtle with the perfect blend of spice. If I had to stop at one place on my travels through Charleston for a meal, it would be Tattooed Moose. It is worth going a little out of the way just for the sandwich. It wasn't featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives for no reason, trust me you will not regret it. The location is a little outside of downtown but it is well worth the visit.

I would classify the Tattooed Moose as an upscale dive bar. It has all the elements of a dive bar with cheap drinks and simple decor. But also has the best bar food in the lowcountry (some of the best food overall IMO). Obviously the duck club and fries is the Moose's #1. It may be a bit overpriced but you could easily make it two meals. Their wings are also surprisingly good considering their price and lack of hype. My favorite aspect of TM is their happy hour. You can eat and drink a ton for under $20-25 per person, which is tough to find in downtown Charleston. Last time I was there, I got housed at happy hour and had enough money left over to buy a ferret named Otis. Otis and I still remain good friends and I owe it all to the Tattooed Moose. Only issue I have with TM is it's location. It's not within walking distance to anything else, so you have to either drive or cab it.

Outstanding Duck Club! Duck fat fries could be cut a little thicker for better flavor but still good. Great place for a hearty lunch with a few beers!

Wow. First of all, I've eaten my way through most of the Guy Fieri restaurants in South Carolina during my week here. I hate the guy, he's a homophobe, and drives me nuts. It just so happens, however, that many of the restaurants he's been to happen to be some of the best eats in Charleston...or anywhere... Tattooed Moose is a dive...and a diner...and delicious. We stopped in for some late night grub and had a great time. The duck confit sandwich is perhaps one of the best things I have ever eaten. Unctuous and well seasoned duck between crispy-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside griddled bread, bacon, and a bunch of other delicious stuff. Just fantastic. We also had the "Thanksgiving Leftovers" sandwich. Turkey, stuffing, all wrapped in bread and served with gravy on the side. Not as good as the duck club, but the gravy was sure fantastic and I can see why this sandwich would be a hit. Overall, I highly recommend a stop by the Tattooed Moose, despite the fact that Guy Fieri was also there...

Love this place. The duck club is amazing. The duck fat fries with cheese and garlic are even more amazing. The atmosphere is great to just hang out with friends or coworkers. It's eclectically decorated. There's board games to play. Water is served out of a cooler. They have pony beer. They have local beer. They have a beer list that goes on forever. It's a pretty awesome dive bar.. Even if it is out of the way and parking is an adventure.

Nicole B.

Love everything on the menu but my all time faves are the blue cheese duck fat fries (to die for) and the chicken salad sandwich. I get both and then ask for a side of the sauce that comes with the regular duck fat fries. You honestly can't go wrong with anything.

Saw this place off of Diner's Drive Inn's and Dives and was not disappointed...Had the Duck Club Sandwich featured on the show and it was great! There was literally a line at the door before it opened if that tells you anything. I also loved the decor

Angela B.

Great food. This is the second time my husband and I have eaten here. Both times my husband had the duck club and I've had the brisket sandwich and today I had the low country Cuban with a side order of the homemade pickles. Food comes out quickly we arrived around 1130 am on a Saturday and were able to sit right down. Waitresses are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Charleston and looking for something a little different.

Jeremy A.

This place definitely had a lot of hype around it so we wanted to check it out for sure. We got there right after 4 so luckily we hit their happy hour which runs mon-fri and actually has some awesome deals. We got some chicken wings and they were pretty awesome. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but as for the famous duck sandwich I thought it was ok but not the religious experience everyone had described it as. I thought the extra huge piece of bread to make it a club was a bit excessive and that being said, it didn't suck but I wouldn't order it again. The duck fat fries seemed pretty undercooked because we expected then to be a bit more crispy. We also got the thanksgiving leftovers sandwich which was nothing special along with the gazpacho that lacked any real flavor. I'd come back for the wings cause they were great and I still really want to try the Lucky #1.

Duck club beats anything you will ever eat. And the duck fat fries were beyond awesome! It is a long wait to get seated and gps will take you through a sketchy part of town but over all would go back to that place! Bathrooms are not up to par but it's a bar.. and take you a sharpy you can sign table walls whatever you want!

Catey W.

This is my post work spot. I love the patio. Bartenders remember your name n has great music...live or otherwise. I like that late nights it's not too crowded. It's got that dive bar feel and some good literature graffiti in the bathroom. Fellow bar goers are nice and friendly. I normally get the grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoes.
(5)
Michael O.

The duck sandwich was the best sandwich i have ever had. Divey spot located in a sketchy area. The duck far fries were great and the dipping sauce for them was really good. I also tried the brisket sandwich and it was amazing as well. This was our first and last stop when we went to Charleston in Dec 2012 and will be those two things when we return.

Tattooed Moose is one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. My absolute favorite thing at the Moose is the Roasted Garlic and Bleu Cheese fries. The fries at the Moose are hand cut and fried in duck fat, which makes them extra delicious. Then they top those delicious fries with melted blue cheese sauce and a whole bulb of confit garlic. It's decadent, and delicious, but definitely plan on hitting the gym afterward, for like 6 hours or so. Obviously, you have to get the Duck Club. It's divine. In the words of my friend Josh, "on a scale of 1 to 5, it's a TWENTY FIVE!" Yum, yum, yum. They also serve each of their sandwiches with their house made garlicky dill & spicy sweet green tomato pickles, which are really yummy. Thanksgiving "Leftovers" Sammy, is probably my second favorite sandwich at the Moose. Fresh sliced turkey breast, cranberry mayo, a whole cup of gravy for dipping.... mmmm so good. I also recommend the smoked chicken BLT. It's very, very good. Lots of people think chicken salad is a healthy sandwich alternative, but not at the Moose. If you're looking for healthy, you should probably just pick a different restaurant. They also have a bacon bleu cheese slaw that's super tasty. It had a really creamy consistency (rather than vinegary as you sometimes see), and you could really taste the bleu cheese, which I really liked. It also tasted kind of smoky, like bacon, which we really enjoyed. The only thing that sucks about the moose is that it gets packed FAST. Good luck finding a seat during peak hours. Happy Hour! $2 PBR Tallboys. Great deal.

When my brother-in-law suggested we go to this restaurant I was wondering what was he thinking when he said the name. I was truly surprised. Great location - great food. 1. Ambiance: it is a little hole in the wall. This place is great so expect a little wait if you go on the weekend. It is not huge but a decent size. It is a bar. 2. Food: the food came out really quick and the temperature was great. These folks did not let the food sir under a lamp at all. The food was tasty and the portion sizes were great. We had a hard time finishing the food. 3. Service: did not have to ask for a refill. The order was accurate. The staff was very friendly. The hostess was a little harsh - she seemed to be frazzled by the waive of people coming in. Other than that definitely worth a shot.

Went the Tattoo Moose with my parents when they came to town because my dad saw it on diner drive in and dives . It is def a dive bar, with names and sayings written in sharpie on everything ! I did enjoy how they had local brews on tap. I had the duck sandwich and the duck was good, but it had to much bread and super greasy . The fries are also cooked in duck fat and it seemed like they poured grease on top when served (extremely greasy/ enough to share ). It was worth a try , but I would not go back. If you enjoy greasy bar food then this is worth a trip.
(3)
Kevin B.

Pretty big letdown. Only went here because we saw it on DDD. It definitely qualifies as a dive. The bar seemed ok but the food was just bad, and that was the reason we went. It was so greasy that the TOP of my bun was greasy. A little grease goes a long way guys. Only didn't give it 1 star cuz I'm reserving that for somewhere that makes me ill.

Carrie J.

Arguably the best buffalo wings in town (.50 during happy hour), this place is the best place for cheap bar food and great beers. Great tap selection, cheap and greasy food, not a much better combination. The service was at best meh, but I guess that's what to expect of a dive bar. Located just North of central downtown, this place is definitely worth the drive. Didn't get to try out the full menu, so will definitely be heading back here soon!

This place was was an amazing surprise. It was the first ever place I ate in Charleston, and damn was it a good one. We arrived and sat outside on the deck which was covered in shade. It was relaxing and nice, and our order was placed in a timely manner. The thanksgiving "leftovers" sammy was absolutely delicious. The bread was buttery and had a perfect crunch, the turkey was moist and flavorful, and the gravy was the perfect temperature for dipping. The super melty grilled cheese also received rave reviews from my group, offering a perfectly crunchy bread with buttery crust and super melty cheese (how fitting!) The duck fat fries are just as good as everyone says they are! The food could have come out a little bit warmer, but it was overall a good experience. If you want a good, satisfying sandwich, stop by the tattooed moose.

John Lee C.

2 of us came in on a Sunday afternoon. About half of the seats were full , and still somehow the service was absolutely terrible. We got seated as soon as we walked in, but nobody else came to talk to us. About 10 minutes after sitting down, one of the waitresses dropped off some silverware but didn't say a word to us. After another 5 minutes with no drink order or even simple greeting, we decided to leave. We wouldn't have been as upset if we didn't notice that everyone around us was getting prompt service, and when I made eye contact with any of the waitresses, they looked away. Too bad, I was looking forward to try wait everyone has been raving over. I won't be trying again, nor will I recommend Tattoed Moose to anyone.

Like everyone else has mentioned, the Duck Club totally rocks and is absolutely scrumtrulescent. This is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, thank you awesome Hawaiian bread for making it happen. Also of note were the awesome blue cheese and garlic fries and the chocolate bread pudding. This place has a great beer list so come hungry, come thirsty, and be prepared to stay for awhile.

If you are into food and local dive's this place is amazing. Only a couple miles from historic district. Tons of good beer selections. Great for a nice low key meal. The Duck and Club with some Garlic and Blue Cheese fries...you will be happy.

This place has a great beer list and very welcoming staff. Three TVs for watching sports (two were on NASCAR, even though it was the first weekend of college football, which says something about where we were), several seats at the bar, and more diner-style tables for dinner, as well as a really nice patio. The menu makes the food sound better than it is. Really, the food here is not very good. But go in with low expectations, and you'll be perfectly satisfied. We were ravenous, having skipped lunch and me, being pregnant, and my husband, being a guy who's accustomed to eating three square meals a day, found the food to hit the spot. We split the Santa Fe salad, which had stale tortilla strips on top, but decent roasted black beans and corn on top. The roasted garlic and avocado dressing was really quite delicious. The pickled green tomatoes here are good, but seemed a bit out of place on this particular salad. I opted for grilled cheese plus tomato. I'm a vegetarian, and it definitely had bacon stuck to the crust. But I try very hard to be low maintenance at dinners out, so I just peeled off the offending bits and ate the rest. The cheese was, you know, like Kraft singles, nothing special, but perfectly acceptable when in starving pregnant lady mode. My husband had a burger, which he said was not spectacular, but certainly filled him up. If you're crunk already, the quality of the food will not matter a whit, so don't sweat it. We opted for seasonal brews here---yes, I'm pregnant, and allowed myself one pint a day while on this three-day vacation. Judge me if you like, but I'll think you're pretty silly; besides, I don't eat McDonald's or anything horrible like that, when most pregnant women do ... surely that's more harmful than a craft beer that has only four all-natural ingredients?---and the selection is pretty excellent. My husband went with Terrapin Pumpkinfest (soooo good!), which was on tap, and I had my old favorite, Paulaner Oktoberfest MÃ¤rzen, in a bottle. I really dig this place. Not a huge fan of taxidermy in general, but I wasn't offended by the decor. It's the shtick here, and I embraced it. And two Bowie songs while I we were here, so huge freaking bonus. Again, the friendly staff make a huge difference. We felt perfectly welcome, which goes a long way. I would definitely go back.

Finally made it to the TM. It was, as expected, a dive with very good food. Had the duck club (couldn't resist) with duck fat fries. Duck club was very very good as were the fries. Solid beer selection. Tried the Wells Bananna Bread Ale- loved it. TM is one of those places where it was hard to decide what sammy to get. Settled with the club and would not look back.

Bob R.

we are moving here and I think I will be a regular. service was a little slow, but my chicken salad sandwich should have a different name because no chicken sala tastes that good. my wife got a duck sandwich that was even better. wonderful beers. I had a banana beer and wife had a pecan beer. and it was very reasonably priced.

Visited SC Dec 2012. Yelp led me here. We went here for happy hour. The prices are great. They had a happy hour menu of $2 duck fat fries, $2 corn dogs, $.50 wings, and $2 beers. This is great value for a snack. Also, DDD has been here. The garlic aioli sauce that came with the fries was yummy.

I had the $13.50 Duck Club sandwich, and was presented with 3 extremely large (but soft and delicious) slices of bread, a few very small pieces of duck, and the other toppings. I understand that duck is expensive, but it is a $13.50 sandwich with no sides after all... The taste of the garlic aioli and other toppings (cheese, bacon, tomato, etc.) completely overpowered the taste of the duck due to the minuscule amount and was completely unsatisfying. I felt like I ate a pretty good BLT. The garlic fries were pretty awesome, though, and everything else looked delicious (and by other accounts, was delicious), so I'll have to give it another shot with another dish next time.

I rate this 5 stars for a dive bar. That means I am looking for good food at a reasonable price. No need to impress me with the decor. The Tattooed Moose offered more than that. Their food was amazing. I ordered the sandwich with the duck.(Sorry, can't remember the name of it.) It was one of the best sandwiches I ever ate. If we were living in Charleston, my boyfriend and I would be here regularly.

Went back with friends from out of town and they were very impressed. Burger is to die for, one of the best I've ever had. My wife had the grill cheese with tomatoes and loved it.

Hipsters have infested this place. There were some strange fashion choices walking around, as well as a table of pretentious, loud, and sometimes vulgar hipsters next to us. They were talking about how weird, strange, and over rated David Bowie was. Really? Take a a look in the mirror... Which you obviously don't have. Food was decent enough, had the duck fries and duck club, but the price was a bit steep. $40 for my wife and I, all we drank was water. Service was veeeeerrrrryyyyy sllllllooooooow. Don't get me wrong, this is probably a great place if you are into the hipster thing, but I guess I'm getting older now and moving on. I'd probably be more into it 5-6 years ago. The same group runs Voodoo, which I prefer. I guess cause it's more layed back. Tattooed Moose is definitely a place to go check out though.

Scott D.

If you need a sandwich, head here!!! Duck club with some duck fat fries on the side are just about a great meal as you will get in a bar anywhere. This is a dive bar with great beer, food, and unique service. This place gets my two rare thumbs!!! Can't wait until I am in Charleston again. Want to explore but will save some room for the Duck Club!

Jenn B.

My fiance and his family came here for his birthday. It's a good joint to get a burger at but don't expect to be "wowed" . Don't get me wrong, It's good for the price and we enjoyed it, but the Ruben I ordered wasn't as good as the Arby's Ruben (which is saying a lot). The crust was impossible to eat, I had too pull it off because it was too hard, but the roast beef had a great flavor to it and their dipping sauce was really tasty. My fiance ordered the Moose Burger and It was exceptional! It was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. I definitely recommend their burgers. Their duck fries are great too. Unfortunately they are VERY under staffed. We were there on a Saturday and there was one hostess, two waiter/waitresses and one bar tender. (our waitress kept having to go to the bar to help the one bar tender that was there, so we only saw her about 3 times at our table during the time that we were there.) The atmosphere was nice and I loved the graffiti on the tables and in the bathroom! They play good music and It's at a reasonable volume too. You can still talk without shouting and It sticks with the theme of the place. The Tattooed Moose was nice. I like it. :) (just don't order the Ruben)

DUCK CLUB ROCKS! It was the perfect meal to eat after a long hard bridge run in the morning. Probably one of the most unique sandwich experiences I ever had - the bread was toasted, but still soft and sweet in the middle and the duck combined with the bacon, lettuce, and tomato were heaven in my mouth. It also helped that the weather was perfect and this place as a killer patio deck area. We didn't manage to snag an outside table, but being next to the window was just as good. We got to drink up the atmosphere (of which this place had a lot of). Definitely had a cozy, "man-cave" type feel with all the stuffed heads on the walls. If you are an animal lover, I'd recommend that you find a table outside. I was OK, until I saw the ducklings on the half-wall near the restrooms. I am hoping they were fake, but I don't know how one would hunt those or how they kept the bodies intact to stuff them... Anyways, back to the food... the fries were just ok. I know they were advertised as cooked in duck fat, but I couldn't really make out a distinct flavor or not. Don't get me wrong, they were good fries... but missing something that they promised. Tattooed Moose also has a pretty good selection of beers. One disappointment was no local brews offered. No biggie, there were plenty of other unique area brews to choose from. Next time I find myself in Charleston, I will definitely make another stop here.

this place is amazing but lets back up for a minute. a co-worker suggested this place for after work beer and food. you immediately feel the divey vibe as soon as you walk in. walls and tables all have entertaining graffiti written on them, deer heads and of course a moose head are mounted on the walls. the place is small but that just adds to the vibe. the menu is extensive if you are looking for a beer. i felt ashamed ordering just a standard light beer. the food on the menu does not match the decor, very eclectic for bar food. i felt this would be a perfect place for "diners drive ins and dive" not knowing they had already been there. my first visit i played it safe and got the moose burger with cheese and bacon (homemade!) with a side of duck fries (fries cooked in duck fat). both were very tasty. fries came a garlic aioli sauce, nice touch. enjoyed the meal so much i went back 2 more time within a week. second night i tried the famous " duck club". it lived up to all the hype. what a great sandwich. my first time trying duck and it was great. very filling. the next night i went with the happy hour specials, 50 cent wings and a basket of corn dogs. dogs came with a dipping sauce that was like a horseradish/mustard. opened the sinuses right up. again, another home run. they offer 2 deserts i have tried both and i have to say the cinnamon bread pudding is incredible. the portion is way to much for one person after eating a meal, which is a good thing. it made for a magical breakfast the next morning. so i have been there 3 times in the last week (each night they had a wait line for tables! get there early) and have not had a bad item from the menu yet. i plan on visiting them again next week and look forward to trying the thanksgiving leftover sandwich. the moose is 3 for 3 right now and i am looking grand slam soon. love the moose!!! if you are in charleston, this place is a must!

He said: Staff friendly for a dive bar, which this is. Cool decor. Parking seems bad, but you are allowed to park in the ILA lot across the street. Music a touch loud and comes from a hip rock playlist, so you dont know any songs unless you are a hip rocker - I liked it anyhow. Place seems clean enough. Got the duck club with duck fat fries. Restroom only moderately clean: highly graffiti-covered like the rest of the place. Doesn't bother me, but your kids might ask you interesting questions if you send them in. Food was worth a little more than 4 stars. Duck fat fries well executed, crisp, tasty, properly seasoned. Duck club excellent, meaty, juicy, flavorful, ducky. Had some moose burger, it was very good (not insane good, but very good), cooked perfectly, juicy, flavorful. The homemade pickles were a real treat. Do try the pickled green tomato - it's good!!! Drink refills came regularly - no Coke Zero. By the way, the place is only a short easy drive off the interstate. Will he back here! She said: OK...parking was a bit crazy, but the food made it worth the trouble. The duck fat fries were yummy! And my burger was very good. The homemade pickles were really good, too. I would definitely go back!

Gotta get the duck club sandwich! The moose burger also is amazing it cracks into my top ten burgers and the fries are a must!

Very good food! Had the Thanksgiving Sandwich and the Cuban and both were excellent. This place is a total Dive, but in the best way possible. Don't miss it!

Reading these reviews we ordered the wrong thing. While the duck club is just the thing DDD loves it was way too bready and too much mayo (or some other sauce) and the corndog app was cold on the inside. Definitely going to give another try. The staff was great and sincerely nice, just need to try some of the rest of the menu.

I do not see what everyone sees in this place. Service is super slow and crowd is not my type, very hipster. Got the turkey thanksgiving sandwich. Eh, ok but gravy was watery and not enough cranberry mayo to taste it. Fries were ok but were soggy, I like crispier fries. Bbq baked beans were the best thing we got I thought. Sorry tm, I don't think I will be back, lots of better restaurants in Charleston to drop my 40 bucks.

Ok so I didn't absolutely go crazy for this place, few reasons why.... I don't drink beer, which is huge here. Others at my table loved the beer selection. I don't eat duck or pork, and the duck club sandwich is the biggest draw here. Two people in my party got it and loved it. I had the smoked BBQ chicken salad sandwich, which I would rate just as average. I tried some of the duck fat fries, and I would rate them as average as well..it could be because I am partial to the duck fat fries at a couple of places where I live in DC, I don't know. Lemongrass slaw was mediocre and lacking in flavor. Service was very good, and there is a phenomenal selection of graffiti on the wall of the ladies room. I just wasn't wowed..

I finally visited the Tattooed Moose after hearing all the local hype and being featured on Food TV. It is in fact a great happy hour speakeasy for getting together with friends. The vibe was so relaxed and everyone had left their baggage at the door and were in there happy place after a few cold beers. And that is always a good thing! Anyways great fun place! Hear comes the downside, the place was really busy and the food suffered, I guess the kitchen was slammed. It happens to the best of them. We started with hot wings. Good but too saucy. We both ordered the signature duck club, which was huge, but cost $13.50 per sandwich. I expected my taste buds to be dancing when this thing hit my lips. The bread was borderline soggy and the sandwich is just too big and has too much going on. All the ingredients are just competing with each other and nothing stands out. We also ordered the signature french fries which are bathed and fried in some type of exotic duck fat which makes them basically taste like the cocaine of fried food. Unfortunately the fries were under cooked and soggy. Don't get me wrong, this place is cool and fun. I would give it another chance in a heart beat. Everyone in the place was having a great time and enjoying there dishes. I am just chalking it up to bad luck. It happens to us all. I will return and try something else next time.

Stopped by for lunch. I ordered the duck club with fries (and a side of garlic aioli). Food was delicious and filling. Waitress was not overly attentive but our food came out in a timely manner and our drinks were refilled. Ordered the bread pudding...huge portion! Very satisfied with my meal.

I went to the Tattooed Moose on a gamble that the reviews would stand true and it did not disappoint me! Everyone had something different at my table from the grilled cheese to the Lucky #1. The Lucky #1 flavors work well together and I was surprised! Loved the Kimchi with the seared pork belly. Had the duck fries and I thought they were a little greasy for my taste but loved the garlic aioli. Definitely would recommend it for a lunch spot!

Holy cheeseballs, did we love the TM. Just a little neighborhood kinda place, but those are usually the best in our experience. Completely casual, good music overhead, cool bartenders. We had the duck confit club, duck fat fries and a couple of long islands. No words were spoken between us because that would've meant we had to stop eating... For dessert we carved our initials into the table among the hundreds of other professions of love written there with Sharpies. Hey, it was our first anniversary... Do it...go!

I saw the Tattoeed Moose on The Food Network while in travel in Baltimore and vowed to eat there when I returned to Charleston, SC for work. This place is amazing. Kind of a little dive bar, but with an AWESOME Craft Beer Selection (had the Abita Purple Haze) and the "Duck Club and Duck Fat Fries" definitely lived up to my expectations! I will return to the Tattooed Moose when I come back to South Carolina! The Staff and Crowd are also friendly!

Tried the duck club, lucky sub, and duck fat fries. They have a solid beer selection and service is great. Duck club: lots of flavor. The bacon and duck are very fatty, so ask for extra napkins. My only gripe is the bread: it soaked up the grease from the meat and fell apart as soon as you pick it up. Lucky sub: very fresh sandwich with lots of veggies. Not a fan of the sauce wasabi mayo - they should switch it out with a sriracha mayo instead. Duck fat fries: a basket is plenty for the table. The aioli is good, but I really needed something acidic to cut through the grease. Would give it another shot next time I'm in town.

Food was not as good as I expected and the service was pretty average. Most people have said the opposite about the staff so maybe we just were unlucky. Food: Bread on the duck club looked toasted but was really soft which I didn't like. Also the duck fat fries are not the way I prefer, they weren't very crunchy. The duck gravy was really bland too. Drinks: Had only 2 wines to choose from so ordered a mimosa as I am not a beer drinker - was the worst of my life.... tasted like beer! Also, my husband wanted wheat beer, they had run out of all 3! Only good thing I could say about it is that the ambience and music were fine. In summary, nothing special. I wouldn't go back.

Anything here with Duck in it is awesome! We've been here for lunch and the duck sandwich is excellent. We've also done the Sunday brunch and it was to die for. Great food and great beer selection! The staff is always pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an awesome meal and experience.

Get the duck club!!!! Fun atmosphere with great food and on ton of good quality beer! They have beer from tons of local breweries in Charleston. Highly recommend eating here tons of fun and the employees are really nice as well.

I've only been here once, but would go back in a heartbeat. I was with my extended family--a party of 9. It was a pretty busy Saturday afternoon, but the staff was very nice about working out a table for us. We had a drink while we waited. My brother and brother-in-law had duck club sandwich before and said it was incredible so we all ordered it, plus a few baskets of the duck fat fries. Every person in our group loved that damn sandwich. And we've been talking about it for the past 24 hours. They also have a great selection of beers! What more could you want? The place is super casual with a bar vibe. Not ideal for large groups. Some seating outside. I didn't use the bathroom, but i heard it's pretty small. When i go again my big dilemma will be whether or not to try something else on the menu. I'd have a hard time not getting the duck club again.

Moving on to a great dive bar with really cool food choices and regular bar food. Happy hour 4-7pm. They use Duck Fat for frying! Say no more :) they had my elusive Oculto beer! Cool hang out with rock and roll 80s music. Super nice service and get your free fist pump!

What a cool joint. I mean the place exudes cool cool cool. Its on the north end of downtown in an area that is coming along. There is street parking but I also saw some folks park in some sort of lot across the street. For those of us that need reading glasses, the place is dark - which adds to the coolness - but tough to read menu even with my 2.0 readers! The beer options are awesome. I had 3 different beers that were all awesome: Terrapin Liquid Bliss Chocolate and Peanut Butter Porter. It was really good. Holy City Pluff Mud Porter Nitro - awesome as well Holy City Follicle Brown It was the Craft Beer TRIFECTA of the Gods. For an app, we ordered the duck fat fries. I read a review that said they were plain and recommended getting the Roasted Garlic and Bleu Cheese version - so we did... DO NOT! Too much of the topping made them overwhelming in flavor. So, we ordered a second basket without the topping and it was much better. Still nowhere near as good as the "to die for" duck fat fries at Stock & Barrel in Knoxville. I got the Tattooed Moose Burger with cheese and bacon. It was very good. I won't say excellent but VERY good. All in all, an excellent joint and I will be back!

This place was amazing. Went to meet friends and family for dinner. They accommodated a large group quickly. We had a blast. The atmosphere was fun, wait staff was very friendly. We ordered about everything and baskets of fries. All was very quick and delicious. No complaints. We went there to visit and we had plenty of time to do that. Once the band came in at 9:00 pm not so quiet so we left. The band was good, just too much sound for our group. I would recommend this to anyone.

Pamela D.

This was one of our local stops in Charleston where we met some wonderful people and took crazy pickle-back shots. Casual in atmosphere, but serious in pour the huge moose head that sits above you fits perfectly. This place almos a candle-lit, woodsy bar kind of feel. It may not be packed with people when you get there, but that what I liked about it. It was a great way to end the night with those two more drinks you probably shouldn't have and call it a night. I didn't even know they served food; next time I'll have to try it out!

Karen S.

Perfect joint! Burgers are huge. But try the duck club. Messy in a good way. You'll want to come back. Just don't forget the duck fat fries!! Trust me. Skip the fancy restaurant. Come here twice. A must in charleston.

Sue P.

Triple-love this place! We're from NC, but always make a point to eat here when we're vacationing. The duck club is worth all the hype, and the fries with roasted garlic and blue cheese is better than I can possibly describe! Great food every time!!
(5)
Sharon W.

I saw other reviews and wanted to try the Duck Club sandwich. OMG it was as good as everyone raved about. We also had duck fries with blue cheese. My husband does not like blue cheese but he loved this. So good! I will be back next time I visit Charleston!

Janie P.

Everyone said we needed to check this place out, and most especially, the Duck Club. It was delicious, and certainly lived up to it's reputation! That, along what I think were the best hot wings I've ever had and a bucket of ice cold Miller Pony's, made for a fun, laid-back dinner. The space is small, and doesn't have much room to wait for a table, but certainly worth the wait! The rustic, earthy atmosphere was amusing, as the walls are covered with random collectibles, and most prominently displayed, of course, the MOOSE! Great food and upbeat atmosphere from the waitstaff. I have already recommended several folks to go for a fun meal or to hang out with friends.

I am sad that it took me 4 months of living in Charleston to finally try the Tattooed Moose! The Tattooed Moose is a bit further up out of the hustle and bustle of downtown, but is definitely worth the drive for lunch and or some late night mischief. We came in for a late lunch on a Saturday and sat at the bar. All 3 bartenders/servers were awesome, I would go back again just for them. We decided to split the Duck Club (great decision) and a basket of duck fat fries. The Duck Club was delicious, but I highly recommend splitting with someone, unless you are just craving a tummy ache the rest of the day. The fries were awesome - I loved the garlic aioli dipping sauce. Great selection of beers on tap and in the can/bottle, left me very impressed. My Holy City Pilsner was $7.50, which surprised me, but I think that has more to do with the price of Holy City than the Moose's prices. There is patio here which looks like a great spot to hit if you are with a bit of a larger group. However, like I said - the bartenders here are hilarious, so I recommend popping a squat at the bar!

Food was just ok, staff was rushing around and somewhat rude. Not overly busy. Felt dirty, parking lot really smelly. Trash all over the back of the place where you park. Have been wanting to come for awhile, pretty dissapointed. Had the chicken salad sandwich and fries. Grease overload.

Michelle K.

First time here and absolutely my worst experience. I came here with my guy friend and we had Jen as our bartender. She didn't even acknowledge me when asking what we wanted to drink. I ordered anyway and my friend asked for a minute to look it over. 20 minutes go by and she still never asked him what he wanted. Every time we were empty, she was too busy taking shots. I'm not opposed to having fun at work, if it makes you work better, or engage your customers. One of the servers was nice enough to ask us what we wanted to eat and if we would like a refill on our beers. Jen also chose to serve the employees drinks first, instead of waiting on customers at the bar. If it weren't for the delicious duck club sandwich, I wouldn't have even gave this a rating, but that was the only good part of my experience.

Krystle B.

I recommend getting there prior to opening. We went on Sunday about 15 min prior to opening and there was already a line of 15-20 long. I knew this had to be a must after seeing everyone waiting. I ordered the garbage plate and the megmosa. I am all about all things ginger and this mimosas base was ginger beer, it was delicious! The garbage plate was fantastic; duck fat fries, gravy, meat, veggies, and eggs. My other half got the duck club and the manmosa. I was hesitant on trying his duck club, once I did I ended up eating half of it. Staff was friendly and we were seated promptly once the doors opened. Our server was on her game. Decor was different and a great conversation piece. I highly recommend!

Super disappointed in this place. It came recommended but the draft beer is 5 beers including miller high life.. Doesn't count. Lots of can beers if that's your thing. Duck fat fries are a joke. I've been looking forward to trying duck fat fries cause they are kind of a big deal. So I've had them and they just seem to be over cooked French fries. I don't taste a difference but friends say it's the location. Bar staff semi friendly. Can't say I'd recommend for someone passing through.

Andie C.

The duck fat fries were like crack. Really, very addicting especially with the garlic aioli. The dining environment is very interesting, with both indoor and outdoor options. A great place to grab a snack, watch a football game, and hangout with friends. The dining experience is worth a try!

Kati W.

Phenomenal duck! I love, love, love this restaurant. The duck fat fries are to die for and the duck club is absolutely delicious. I gave it a 4 because it is generally incredibly sticky inside. I always feel a bit dirty touching the seats, but there is no amount of grease that could stop me from eating there. The wait around lunchtime can e incredibly long and hot since there isn't anywhere to wait, so try to get there early! Parking can be hard, but again just try to get there around 11:30 for lunch and you will be fine! This place is well worth the visit!

Glenn J.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Duck Club and Duck fat fries are absolutely fantastic. The Buffalo wings were also very good. You need to come try this at least once.

I had heard around town that this was a must stop and I wasn't disappointed in the least, the bar service, wonderful selection of beers and a local rye whiskey were the highlights of our visit. I did order their much ballyhooed duck fat fries but should have gotten them with blue cheese and garlic as the stand alone version didn't compare to those in Montreal. This was my first introduction to Holy City Brewers and their on tap Pilsner which I thought was out standing, so good in fact, I decided that a stop at brewery would be a welcome addition to our tour of the city. Who would have guessed that this wonderful S-Bum Bar(Yankee term for Dive Bar) would also be serving a Cologne style Kolsch in a can, one of the few top fermented lagers brewed anywhere. But I was to be further astounded at their beer selection when a young lady sitting next to my son recommended the Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout by Terrapin Beer Co. First off, I'm a Lager, Pilsner, Helles beer guy not a Fu-Fu beer or ale drinker, I want my citrus and spice notes in my food, my peanut butter and chocolate belong in my desserts but damn that was one of the best tasting Stouts I have had it was just wonderful. Next my son and I tried Virgil Kaine Robber Baron Rye Whiskey to close out our stay at the Moose and here again we were transported by a very well distilled excellent tasting local Charleston Rye Whiskey. Make no mistake this rye whiskey rivals some of the best known imports in that category.

The duck sandwich was truly awesome, the best sandwich I've had. I will go back and I will take friends with me. The atmosphere is is casual and friendly. A real fun place to have a meal and the menu is full of food you won't found elsewhere. Worth the time to stop by.

I love this place and the way they cooked the duck. But I have concerns about the calories so that I will suggest you to there for the brunch,have some salad for dinner and take exercise before you go to sleep.

Tattooed Moose remains one of my favorite spots for an indulgent, "screw calories, I had a tough day" happy hour. An order or Roasted Garlic Blue Cheese Duck Fat Fries and a cold craft beer will cure just about anything you got. The atmosphere of the place is always packed with energy and people craving something satisfying. Their sandwich selection is also pretty heavenly with options like the Lucky #1 Sub with pork belly and kimchi, a killer Triple Decker Duck Club and my personal favorite anytime of year- the Thanksgiving Sammy served with all the trimmings (turkey, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce & gravy for dipping)! Their Happy Hour every Monday-Saturday from 4-7 p.m. is home to some great specials like $0.50 wings, $2 duck fat fries, $2.50 corn dogs and $2 15 oz. PBR's. If you are looking for a laid-back, casual spot to grab a beer and apps with friends, Tattooed Moose is an excellent choice. Just be sure and leave the healthy eating for another day. Must-order items: Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries Thanksgiving Sammy Duck Club

I had their garlic and duck fat fried fries and they were delicious. I also had to duck sandwich it and it was super crispy super good the sauce the bread I would definitely recommend it if you have never had duck before

Kyleen K.

The duck club is easily the best sandwich in the city, although a close second is the pate melt. They're both creative and unexpected but undeniably delicious. The thanksgiving leftover sandwich is pretty delicious as well, and all pair perfectly with the duck fat fries. Add good beer on tap, fun decor and pleasant service, and you have an excellent meal experience just off the beaten path.

I honestly was a bit underwhelmed with Tattooed Moose. I'd heard amazing things, but just didn't feel as if the raves matched up with the food that was served (as I'm starting to realize happens a lot with Charleston restaurants). I tried the duck fat fries and they weren't crispy or flavorful. I'm not sure if it was a bad batch or something. I can't even remember the rest of my order-- it was that forgettable! Probably won't be going back.

Anna H.

Super lunch today. I had the chicken salad blt without the bread. It was fantastic! There was enough yummy dressing to coat the lettuce and tomatoes but not so overpowering that it took the taste from the pickled green tomatoes. The duck fries were great side items and the Bloody Mary was one of the best I've had. I will be back soon Mr. Moose!
(5)
John P.

Place was awesome! The atmosphere was relaxing and chill, totally enjoyable for mine and my wife's last meal in Charleston. The food options were strange to my wife, but as soon as she tried the duck club..... she was hooked! We both agree it is a must try!

Molly B.

I really enjoy coming here- especially on a nice day and sitting outside. I have been here a number of times for a drink and I went a couple years ago with my parents and it was delicious. When I went with my parents I remember getting the Thanksgiving Leftover sandwich and oh. my. god. It is so good! I went recently to meet up with some friends after moving to grab a beer and some snacks. My boyfriend and I split the wings. They only come in one sauce which is BBQ but hey- I don't mind. They were very tasty. We also split the fries which everyone raves about and for a very good reason. I could not stop eating them even after I was totally full. Also, their brunch is very good as well. I always go for the garbage plate (dont be scared of the name! It's phenomenal and also perfect for that Sunday morning hangover that I know we all get.) If you're looking for a refreshing tall boy PBR and some good bar food- you should definitely stop by!

Audrey B.

The Duck Club. It's said to be the best sandwich ever made because it IS the best sandwich EVER made! I am a super skeptic when it comes to the "best" anything, but holy expletive! It's so true. My husband and I ate here twice during our last visit, and we have added it to our "Charleston Must-Eats" list that we check up on at least once a year. There are not even any more words--please just see for yourself!

Lisa H.

Awesome place, came while visiting Charleston. Great fries! There are no pickles green tomatoes in salt lake so I was stoked to see them on the menu. They were delicious! Great place, duck is awesome. The bacon chocolate pie was interesting, I'm still not sure how I felt about the bacon, but the chocolate pie part was divine. If I'm ever in Charleston again, this place is a must stop!

Jess D.

Yummy, Friendly and a little weird (in a good way). I love going to the Moose for a nice lunch either with the DH or with some friends. The Duck Club is famous (Diners, Drive Ins & Dives, anyone?), and the decor is unforgettable. If you're not in the mood for something as heavy as the club, be sure to get some duck fat fries (either plain, with cheddar cheese OR (my fave) blue cheese). Groovy. Down Side: parking can be a little challenging (but we're in Charleston...so nothing worse than what we're used to)

Matt B.

Tried the duck club, chicken salad BLT, blue cheese garlic fries, and the Cuban and all were top notch. Dive joint with great food and great wait staff. Unfortunately, had to settle for outside seating in the heat cuz the place was full up. Lots I flies descended as soon as the food appeared. Not the restaurants fault...just life.

**Overall Rank 3.8/5** I would agree with most reviews, Tattooed Moose is a place you should definitely try at least once......and if you don't die from a massive coronary heart attack, you might want to try again. It's a dive bar with greasy bar food and every inch of wall covered in graffiti. Overall, if I was 21 again and drinking, none of this would bother me. **Food - Portion size 4/5** My wife and I split the duck club and a basket of duck fat fries, and my daughter had the corn dogs. The club was enough to split if you aren't that hungry, so it would be plenty if you had it by itself. **Food - Taste 4/5** The duck club was definitely a unique sandwich. I wouldn't go so far as to say one of the best I've ever had, but it was good. The bread was toasted but not toasty, rather soft and a little soggy. Not sure how they pulled that off. The duck fat fries are thin cut fries fried in duck fat.....again soggy and there was a good 3-4 Tbps of grease left at the bottom of the basket. They are good with the ranch. Don't let the fact that they are fried in duck fat deter you, they have a different taste, but not a gamy duck taste. The corn dogs left something to be desired. I'm not sure if those are hand made or from a package. The batter was good, but the hot dog was nasty. If they are home made, they need to invest in better quality hot dogs. Corn dogs really aren't my thing, but it is really the only thing on the menu for kids. **Location 3/5** Like others have said, this place is out there, a little off the beaten path. If you are in that area for whatever reason, give it a shot. It is located on an awkward intersection depending on where you are coming from, which can make parking a bit tricky. **Parking 3/5** Not much parking...small gravel lot next door and a few spots on the street. **Cleanliness 3/5** It is a bar....dark, loud, decorated. Like I said, the walls are covered in graffiti, some funny. The bathroom is a one-person bathroom, the water barely works. Reminded me a lot of the dive bars and clubs I use to go to back in my college days being in a band. We chose to sit outside because it was freezing inside. Not there is much you can do about it, just know there will be flies and people smoking. They do have bottles of bug spray for you in case there are mosquitoes. **Originality 5/5** Probably the only place for hundreds of miles where you can get a duck confit club sandwich and potatoes fried in duck fat, so I will give them that one. They also have a unique selection of craft beers. **Service 4/5** Service was good. Nothing to complain about. Seems like one, maybe two, people running all the tables, which I know from experience can be stressful and leaves no time to get personal. Just give them your order so they can help everyone else. **Price 4/5** Prices for us weren't bad because we split food. However, I don't know if the duck club would've been worth it for $13.50 for one person. It's a good sandwich, but that is a bit steep for any sandwich, then you have to tack on sides. **Wait 4/5** They seem to be pretty busy all the time. We didn't wait at all for a table, wait for food was about 15-20 minutes. **Atmosphere 4/5** Cool bar atmosphere. Not really for kids. They do have food for kids (corn dogs), but no kids menu, and there were a handful of kids there besides mine. Some of the graffiti could raise some questions. For example, our table, at my daughter's seat had a robot with a penis, not to mention lots of penises everywhere else and profanity. We laughed because she didn't even see it or understand it, but if your kids can read, you may not want them there.

The Tattooed Moose is a new restaurant in the newly up-and-coming area of North Morrison (or NoMo as the locals call it) that is a Divey-Hipster-Casual-Chic, trending now kind of a bar/gastropub combo. You can't really label this place easily except to say that it is definitely a grown-ups only kind of joint. I have a little kid, and probably would not bring her here as the crowd can be boisterous. I have been trying to get in to eat at the The Tattooed Moose for several months. Every time I have been in the area, though, the place is so jam-packed I have not been able to get in. This is, as far as I'm concerned, a very good sign that a restaurant is doing something right. The other day I finally scored a seat! We ( my sister and I) arrived just before noon on a weekday, and the dining room was already packed to capacity. A waitress directed us to the bar, and we were able to score a pair of seats there. We Ordered the Duck Club Sandwich, The Reuben Sandwich, and a basket of Duck Fat Fries. For the record, the sandwiches and fries come "a la carte" which means that if you order a sandwich(except the burgers, they come with fries) you will have to shell out extra for the fries. If you have read any of my reviews here on Yelp, or Twitter; you will know how much I hate that practice. I just shelled out $8.50 for some sliced meat on bread, what the hell!?! B.U.T...this is one restaurant where I can say that for $8.50 you actually get $8.50 worth of SANDWICH!!! The Duck Club, and the Reuben arrived in front of us, and they were enormous!!!! I mean like, two very large hungry men could easily split one of these and be satisfied, gargantuan-sized "sammies". Thus, on this one single occasion, I did not mind shelling out a little extra for the fries. Oh and they are DUCK FAT fries let's not forget. How did everything taste, you ask? Heaven! My Reuben was a giant pile of ooey-gooey cheesey, Russian dressingy, sour krauty, corned beefy amazingness. My sister's duck club was no less delicious. I got a taste of it, and the duck was a perfect example of proper confit technique. With the added order of fries, though, we only ate 1/2 of our sandwiches.But those Fries, those HEAVENLY fries; Oh My Gawd!!!!! I want to die eating those french fries! The very nice bartender put our left-over sandwiches into a box, we paid our bill, and left several pounds heavier, happy, and in food-comas. I've found my new favorite, downtown, divey, lunch spot.

Aaaaaaamazing. My husband and I just arrived in Charleston after a 10 hour drive from Philly. He had seen this place on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and it was his one request for our trip! It certainly is a dive but we'd come back here anytim for the sandwiches and duck fat fries! Oh my gosh! We had the duck club and the other club (can't remember name sorry) and both were out of this world! And we are from Philly- the land of the hardy, delicious foodie sandwich! The blue cheese garlic fries were finished in like 3 minutes! So good!! Great place, nice staff, and we only wish we could come back:)

I'm sorry Daffy and Donald, but do NOT go in here - you will be traumatized! Dive bar + craft beer + Duck = Tattooed Moose! Come with an empty stomach and leave full, happy and definitely with a NAP in your future. Manage expectations. Most everything that is great here, is fried. I don't even think they have a salad on the menu (?). It is great, greasy-spoon-style bar food! Duck Club - Yup, it's what most people write about and it is their claim to fame. Worth it! It's very good. Made to order, so can add/subtract things you may not like: Bacon, aioli. Personally (and this is where I make my case for my own sandwich) I think they should get rid of the middle piece of bread, and replace it with a layer of fries! Duck Fries - of all varieties, are great! But, it's not just the duck fat gravy or blue cheese and garlic, the FRIES are really amazing by themselves. Few Things: Beer: GREAT local, craft beer selection. Some rarities, not just the year-round locals. They had a very special Westbrook beer that was/is very hard to find. Of course we ordered a few of them! Servers: Generally pretty nice. They always seem a bit understaffed. Interior/Ambiance: Definitely a dive-bar feel. Actually, it reminds me of a grunge bar that is also a concert venue. Brunch: Very popular, so expect to wait. Some great items on the brunch menu and coffee is free and self-serve.

Cool vibe, nice people, not good food. This is one of those places I would hand out with friends and drink and watch football, or just drink. The server was nice but the food was fair at best. I love dive bars, and this one is cool, the food just isn't worth stopping for. I will go back but it won't be to eat.

FIRST stop during our trip to charleston!:] famous duck sandwich= first couple bites were AMAZING.. but i did feel like it had maybe a little too much bread lucky #1= good, but not that good after you have already had a bite of the duck sandwich lol fries = ADDICTING!

Mmm... duck fat fries smothered in bleu cheese, scallions and a whole bulb of roasted garlic. That's a very tasty combination, but expect to have that pungent combination on your breath for the rest of the day. Washed it down with a bottle of delicious German kolsch beer (most of their beers are bottled or canned... they have about 8 beers on tap). I might've stayed longer to try more of their food, but the service was HORRIBLE. Our waitress mostly ignored us and was slow to get our order in. We watched as people arrived at the three tables next to us and got their food before us. Then, we watched as our waitress checked on those tables to make sure they were doing alright, and decided to simply skip over our table. I guess a two-top table isn't nearly as appealing tip-wise as the four-top tables. Parking was limited, so plan on having to walk across the street to get there.

So I'm not a duck fan, and I had low expectations but really wanted to try the Duck Club. The Duck Club is incredible and it's a huge sandwich. We had great service, good draft beer and excellent food. Only reason I wouldn't give it a 5th star is no air conditioning. You're in Charleston in June I don't want to sit in 90 degree heat while I eat lunch inside. That's what you get at a dive bar though.

After hearing incredible things about the duck fat club and duck fat fries here I really wanted to try Tattooed Moose. I was surprised after arriving about the atmosphere of the place..it's a dirty dive bar with around 7 tables and not at all what I was really expecting. This didn't bother me at all, however. The food was slightly disappointing, considering the duck club has been lauded by some as the "best sandwich ever". The duck confit and bacon combination is really good and so is the soft bread but everything else is pretty mundane. The sandwich didn't have a lot of duck meat or nice crispy bacon for being a triple decker which was disappointing. I was definitely not a fan of the duck fat fries like I expected to be either. They were soft, SUPER greasy and didn't taste any different from normal fries. The service at the bar was mediocre as well. The bartender was slow to refill my drink and not all that friendly, but the food did at least come out quickly. Overall I wound up disappointed in the food, service, and atmosphere from my high expectations and have to say that this place is just average. Definitely not worth the $18+ for a club and side of fries either.

My family and I went here. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is bc of the seating. I wish it were bigger to accommodate better. It was so hot outside and we ended up sitting outside bc nothing was open inside. They had 1 umbrella on our side of the deck and if it were positioned better it would have covered more people. But the food was awesome. I got the Cuban sandwich and it was AMAZING! I cant wait to go back and have it again!

Great location not to clustered with to much people great place for a drink and to meet new friends. Sat at the bar and my bartender recommended the moose burger wow what a burger special sauce and all the way is the best way to have it huge burger and the beer was flowing. Service was great very prompt great look inside they also have a outdoors section right upfront but go sit at the bar great people and u will be back!

Bixby D.

Food was very flavorful, duck and burger was a bit dry! Duck fat everywhere like Paula Dean's butter. We tried duck fat fries, the duck club, burger, chicken salad sandwich, corn dogs. Food tasted good and service was very friendly. "In the end" we all had bathroom issue. Little guy destroyed 4 diapers after that meal. Good to try. Go light. And you've been warned.

Jeremy K.

This place may have been on TV but that doesn't mean it's that good. I actually enjoy the food for the most part but the service is lack luster. On our last visit, after gave us our checks outside and then completely forgot about us. We scraped what cash we had together so we could pay our bill. Probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

Great happy hour! We came here on a trip to Charleston for a late lunch/early dinner and happy hour. The duck fat fries are awesome. We also had the corndogs and wings. Such an awesome deal during happy hour, you can't beat the price. The place is really cool inside, a dive bar with lots of character and a fun atmosphere.

Rebecca H.

Great food, yummy fries with aioli sauce, huge portions--come hungry. Only thing preventing 5 stars is that they're too small, they need to expand to hold more tables. Too tiny inside and a bit warm inside.

Tricia W.

Went for dinner with friends. Shared the duck club and the duck fat fries. Both very good. I agree with other Yelpers that this club might even be better if you leave out the extra layer of bread. I also tried the Brunswick stew, but I was not a fan. It was hard to find any chicken or pork in this. It was the consistency of the water that comes in canned tomatoes and had corn and I saw maybe 1 lima bean. They maybe should rename this canned tomatoes with corn. We shared the wings and they were very good as well. Stick with the duck in this joint or you may be quacking happily. Also tried the honeysuckle mule to drink. Strong on the ginger beer side, but it is worth a try if you aren't in the mood for beer.

We were visiting Charleston and heard from several people, this was the place to eat. We all ordered something different and passed the various plates around....the Cuban sandwich was phenomenal......the Duck Club Sandwich was heavenly, worth dying for and reincarnating to come back for another a different day !! We were only in Charleston for about a week, but we managed to come back for a 2nd duck club fix before leaving. It truly is an eclectic place, with people from all ages, we even had our grandchildren with us, they loved that they could graffiti the walls with their names. The wait staff was friendly, and helpful...and man were they packed with people !!!! Looking forward to our next Charleston adventure :-)

True to the other claims, the duck club might be the best sandwich I've ever had. If you think you don't like duck, you do now. Grab a beer and add some duck fat fries and you're golden. Been craving another visit all week.

Chris J.

The duck confit sandwich is a treat you must try! This place is more of a bar, but this food is good. The duck fat fries are good. Another great find from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. If you don't like loud music you will want to order your food to go.

Rick T.

You must try the duck club here it is by far my favorite thing on the menu next to the garlic and blue cheese fries that fried in duck fat I've heard but cannot verify this. This local dive gets away from the stuffy downtown restaurants you find all over the place packed with tourists. The decor is so cool in here and it's just one of those places where you can let loose and have a great time drinking some ales and enjoying ones self. The last time I was here I got free fist bump from the waitress using the Yelp check in on my phone. Parking can be a bitch here so be prepared for that, but that doesn't effect my five star rating on this dive !

It's not often that I feel completely comfortable anywhere but my own bed. The Tattooed Moose came precariously close... I might need to live there. They don't stare at you when you walk in and choose where'd you'd like to sit. There are cute girls in fancy trench coats next to old guys who haven't looked in the mirror in a week. Old couples who look like regulars and newbies like me who definitely ordered what they were told to order by friends (duck club w/ duck fat fries, duh). There are funky glass acorn lamps, dim lighting (yes!), an awesome beer cooler, and music your cool friend listens to from every decade. There must be a taxidermist in the family, as well. I sank into my booth seat and stared at the endless graffiti and ordered a White Thai. I tend to go with familiar drinks in new bar settings. My boyfriend ordered a Bell's Best Brown, but they were out so he tried a Bad Penny by Big Boss Brewing. It was an awesome recommendation by our server. I wish I knew her name! She handled all the tables on the floor effortlessly - five at a time. We started with the meat and cheese sampler. It came on an red tray your grandma would have taken camping. The smoked pimento was ahhmazing as were the pickled green tomatoes and cucumbers. The pÃ¢tÃ© was great! I finished my beer and ordered a MegMosa. Homemade ginger beer and sparkling wine. Yum! Nic said it perfectly, "It's a very nice balance of flavors." We split the duck club and hardly finished it. So big! I was expecting a heavy sandwich, and was pleasantly surprised with light crispy-soft (jumbo shrimp?) bread and a perfect blend of toms, lettuce, and mayo. Oh and duck! I ate five fries (dunked in mayo) at a time. They were so good. We finished with the piping hot rum raisin bread. It was a cold rainy night, and dessert kept us warm enough until we reached the car. Next time I'll try to sit at the table near the window, the first booth to the left, or the bar. "Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends."

I went here after I was told that the food was delicious. The food was ok, it was extremely greasy which is fine if this is what you want. The restaurant was dusty..the walls, decorations and ceilings. I get that this is a "bar" type atmosphere but dust every now and then. The only shining light in this place was the duck fat fries...delicious. Our waitress was pleasant enough. Its just hard to enjoy food when the cleanliness is questionable and dust globs are hanging on items on the wall above your table.

Sky M.

Cool little dive in spot. Had the duck sandwich, hot pastrami sandwich, corn dogs, and garlic with blue cheese fries. I liked the atmosphere. A nice chill vibe to just relax. The service was good. My only complaints would be that the food was extra extra greasy. But that is what I expected. The duck sandwich was really good. Nice flavor. The pastrami was okay, but the duck was better. The fries were a little burnt but they were not bad. All in all, 3 stars out of 5. I would come here again on a casual day to eat and have a beer.

Best tip from a local was to try this place. The duck club sandwich was amazing. You have to try it. No wonder this place was on the food network. If you're ever in the area you should stop in and eat.

I had the duck sandwich and duck fries with the gravy. It was great!!!! The first of many from diners,drive-in and dives. I hope!!! My friends had wings and the Moose burger, it too was great! Staff were great and patient. Also you get Free high fives.

Great beer selection. Duck fries were tasty and the duck club was very good. The wings could have been hotter but they were still really good and very meaty. The atmosphere is pretty hipster bit the service was great. Overall, good shout for happy hour.

Thursday night, late dinner. Walked right in, no wait...thank goodness because we were starving. I ordered the tattooed moose burger. Great...messy but great! I ate every bite. My daughter got the famous duck club (her 1st experience with duck). She was wanting chicken fingers (as always) but they don't have that on the menu. Anyway, she loved it! At every bite. My niece got the chicken salad Blt sandwich. Ate every bite...seeing a trend here? It's a dive but great food, not a traditional menu. Oh and don't forget the duck fat fries..yum! But skip the duck fat gravy...we didn't even eat that.

We arrived in Charleston at 12:30 a.m. famished, tired, and fearing we'd go hungry for the night. After moving to Virginia from New York, I had accepted the fact that NYC spoiled me and I'd be hard pressed to find decent grub past 10pm. So off we went, cruising the boulevard with half defeated eyes when we passed Tattooed Moose. At 12:30am, this place was as inviting as a dark cave in the middle of a spooky forest. Should we go in? What options did we have? Inside we ordered the Yelpers top 2 picks, the duck confit sandwich and duck fat fries and some staple classics like buffalo wings, corn dog, and grilled cheese. One bite of the duck confit sandwich and I instantly woke up. What was this combination that was mixing and tumbling around in my mouth...chewy, crispy, salty bacon, soft tender duck, crunchy tomato, creamy mayonnaise, buttery toast. A companion reached for the other half of the sandwich, I instinctively pulled my plate away, hovering over my sandwich in maternal protection. I may have muttered "get away" while softly growling under my breath. Not one of my best moments. I never understood why duck fat fries aren't being done in more restaurants. There really should be a culinary rule, if you fry your french fries in anything other than duck fat, you know nothing about love. Everything else we ordered were pretty decent, but sorry buffalo wings, the duck confit is quite the attention hogger. Overall, the decor is not for everyone, the casual service is not for everyone, but they make one heck of a sandwich and so Tattooed Moose, that makes you alright in my book.

Francesca D.

I've been here many of times and would normally give it a full 5 stars, however we were waiting for a table while drinking at the bar and were told we had to move outside to wait (it was freezing!) and we were paying for drinks so I'm not sure why this was an issue. The food of course was on point. I got the grilled cheese with tomato and duck fat fries. This is one of the best places to go for a quick, casual meal. Going with more than 4 guests is tough because there aren't too many large tables available. I'll go back again and again, and cannot wait for the Johns Island location to open since it's 3 miles from home!

First time coming here and may I say it was a treat, the wait staff was very friendly and the environment is social and welcoming. I tried there signature duck sandwich and fries and never knew this is what I was missing out on. We'll definitely be sending friends here.

We tried Tattooed Moose with a group of friends tonight and it was pretty good. It's a dive bar that's a bit north of downtown, but convenient to everything because it's just off I-26. There is parking on the street and also in a lot across the street (I saw people park and walk over). The atmosphere is really divey here. The tables have writing all over them, the booths aren't super cushy and comfy, and there are TVs with games on and a moose head on the wall. It's a really fun place though, and they have a full bar with a beer club where you get your name on the wall if you drink 100 beers. One of my friends is well on his way. I eat relatively healthy, so I had the Santa Fe Salad (side portion) and a cup of tomato soup. No duck club or pork sandwich for me, but I really enjoyed my food! The tomato soup was really delicious on a cold rainy night- it was hot when it arrived, but also had a spicy kick to it. The salad was pretty good. It was only $4, and the dressing came on it, but it was good. My husband had the duck club, duck fat fries, and wings. A friend got the chocolate cinnamon bread pudding dessert, and while it was unlike any bread pudding I've seen (it was more like a rich bread with whipped topping on the side, not really a pudding at all), it was delicious! The only complaints we had were that the service wasn't really exceptional. I don't think anyone expects a great customer experience at a dive bar, though. Also, there was a leak in the roof and since it was rainy, some of the water was leaking onto my husband's seat and the patron next to us. Oops... We would definitely go back. I'd like to try the grilled cheese with a side of that tasty tomato soup!

Great place with some of the most unusual sandwich combinations in Charleston. Must try the Duck Club and the #1 Sub; absolutely delicious. Make sure you order the duck fat fries and wash it all down with a selection from their beer menu.

Parking can be an adventure. Best time to come is around 1:30. Lunch crowd just leaving & more tables & parking Duck blt is everything that is hyped about Super grill cheese is very good as well. Love the crispy sourdough bread Duck fat blue cheese garlic fries are just ok. They are a little to soggy for me Grilled chicken salad sandwich is also great Give this place a try for sure

Michael K.

Tattooed Moose is the kind of place that will make no apologies for what they are - and they really don't need to! And you'll get that impression pretty much immediately, given their graffiti'd walls, tables, chairs, bar, everything. You can expect a limited menu filled with creatively designed sandwiches that will certainly please your heart the only way a clogged artery can. Fat is flavor! so don't be afraid of French fries deep fried in duck fat, buttery toasted sandwiches and pork belly when you make the decision to come here. I will say, you can get a really tasty salad too! just be sure to add a scoop of the smoked chicken salad... I recently stopped in on Saturday right around 4pm and was very pleased to see they extend happy hour to Saturdays as well. That's a big bonus for me, because I love happy hour. You'll hear a lot of people puffing up the duck club as the way to go, and I don't want to steer you away from that but my personal favorite is the smoked chicken salad BLT. Another favorite of mine is a bowl of their home made pickles. Go here to chow down, drink craft beer (or cheap beer; there should never be an in-between) and then go take a nap. Also, they serve food late as well (I think 1pm) which really adds up to make this a local favorite. You won't be sorry.

My new wife and I drove into Charleston from Asheville, NC for a four day foodcentric tour of the city. We're not big eaters so trying to eat three meals a day can be a chore, and we tried to eat small breakfasts so as to be able to eat lunch. Halfway through the vacation, while we'd been to plenty of good places to eat, we'd yet to be blown away by anything. As a general guide we used a mix of Yelp ratings, a Charleston food magazine in our hotel room, and the word of a few locals. So one day we planned to go to 167 Raw for what I'd read and heard was a fantastic lobster roll. Unfortunately when we arrived, this tiny place was packed and on a 40 minute wait, and frankly we were just too hungry for that. Well as luck would have it, on the way to 167 we passed this little hole in the wall with a full parking lot, and I commented to my wife, wow, the Tattooed Moose is very busy! She said she'd heard of that from the show with Guy Fieri, so maybe we should try it. So we drive back down a couple miles to try it out. It was maybe 1 pm, just past peak lunch hour. The place was full, but not yet on a wait. We did end up having to wait about 20 minutes until two seats at the bar opened up, and in that time we grilled two locals, and frequent customers of the Moose, on what was good. Both said they'd tried every sandwich and nothing was bad. Finally we get to order. We get a couple of alcoholic beverages because after all, we're in a dive bar, AND on vacation, so keep your judgments to yourself... I order the Thanksgiving sandwich (turkey, stuffing, cranberry, pickles), she has a chicken salad sandwich. Now for those who've been, I know what you're thinking, but because I already knew the duck club would be a slam dunk, I wanted to try something else, and then come in for the club later on. Well let me tell you, we were both blown away by these seemingly simple sandwiches. These people know precisely what makes a killer sandwich. Unreal, I will return every time I come to Charleston. In fact, while I am someone who never likes to return to a restaurant in a new city until I've tried every other option, I was ready to go back the very next day. Decor wise, keep your expectations where they belong. This is a dive bar. period. Get here quick, and enjoy the hell out of it. I promise you will not be disappointed.

That duck sandwich is to die for! So good! Funky fun vibe and a cool place to hang out. There are hunting trophies on the wall and some of them are even dressed up. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

I will keep it simple - get the Duck Confit Club. There is a reason that Guy Fieri came here and this is it. It's delicious, flavorful, juicy and the right size for a great brunch dish. The decor is also fun, white-trashy, and literally Sharpied all over. The tables, chairs, walls, bathrooms...everything! Fun place to go, and it seems to really attract a crowd.

Melissa N.

oh my lordy lord! I am not religious, but the Mike's famous duck club sandwich they have here almost converted me! Tender duck meat and all the good things you would expect to find in a club are in this sandwich, but better - duck confit, hickory smoked cheddar, garlic aoili, apple smoked bacon, sweet hawaiian bun, lettuce and tomatoes (not a fan of onions). The Reuben and the Thanksgiving Leftover Sammy were also yummy. Of course we added an order of duck fat fries and it was a wrap! Definitely coming back here when I'm in Charleston again! and don't forget to check in to redeem your free fist bump! :)

Debbie A.

From the outside and inside, it looks like s standard bar, but you will be amazed at how good the food is. We waited about 20 minutes for a seat, and our waiter was a little slow (other tables that came in after us got served their appetizers first). However, it was worth the wait. I ordered the Duck Club and it was a amazing. I actually don't care for duck as it is usually very greasy, but this may change my mind. It was tender, not greasy and had an awesome garlic aoili sauce. My fiance got the chicken sandwich with avocado, which was good, but not as good as the duck. The duck fat fries were tasty, but a little too thin for my preferences.

After seeing this bar on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, I had to put it on my bucket list of restaurants. I finally went this past Sunday for a snack. We got the duck fat fries topped with blue cheese and garlic. Oh man, they were delicious but my breath reeked for hours afterwards. Next time, I'll be trying the famous Duck club sandwich and maybe just sticking to the fries with garlic aioli to tone the breath smelling down a bit. There are great local beers on draft and a ton of bottles available as well. I loved the unique atmosphere with the moose, beaver, deer and other animals hanging on the wall. Also, people can write on the tables for extra fun. Very surprised I didn't see any penis drawings. The location is the middle of nowhere but a car will get you there just fine and parking isn't an issue! They also have a beer club. If you try all the beers within a year, you get a nameplate put up behind the bar. Can't wait to go back.

3.5 stars but I am rounding up giving them a little bit of leeway as I don't know another dive bar like this one anywhere. We arrived during happy hour on a Thursday night just in time, as we were seated immediately a little before 6, but even ten minutes later a wait had accumulated for a table. We started out with beers and wines and one member of our party took advantage of the happy hour special $4 for a corn dog basket. I ordered the bowl of pickles as an appetizer as they were also discounted for happy hour. I LOVE pickles, so getting an entire bowl makes me very happy. There are even a few pickled green tomatoes mixed in there. These are dill pickles (my favorite) and though you get a few with every sandwich having the whole bowl of them is definitely something I recommend. I know the special here is the duck club, but I am not really one to eat duck, so I ordered the Lucky #1 sub, a porkbelly sub with kimchi, wasabi mayo, and sweet chili. I thought this was really delicious and would definitely order it again. On the side I added blue cheese slaw which I found to be good, but not amazing. The main reason I was hesitant to go with the full four stars was not that the food was unsatisfactory, but rather that it seems it has changed. Another member of my party had ordered the Lucky #1 sub previously and felt that it had gotten smaller. This wasn't necessarily a complaint as we had too much food, but I'm sure the regulars would really notice. We also ordered a basket of the blue cheese and roasted garlic duck fast fries for the table. We all agreed that although they were good, they were a little different than in the past in that they tasted extremely salty. One member of our party did get the famous duck club and noted that he just felt something was a little different and it wasn't quite as amazing as he remembered. Maybe we just hit an off night food wise. In the past I have had the BLT chicken salad and I did really enjoy it. I will commend the waitress as our service was excellent. She checked on us often and I was really impressed that she didn't have to write anything down and still got everything delivered to us perfectly. We will probably visit Tattooed Moose again on the next Charleston visit, it is kind of a tradition. Fingers crossed that the things we thought weren't quite the same were just a product of an off night and not things going downhill.

Hole-in-the-wall, not the cleanest, plenty of parking...and the absolute best club sandwich my husband and I have ever eaten. Seriously genius sandwich (duck confit club) and delicious duck fat fries! Also, you will get yummy, house-made cucumber and tomato pickles. Highly recommend for sandwich lovers and foodies.

Priscila S.

The place is small, dark, a bit dingy. Don't let that fool you the food is very good. Most of us tried the Duck Club, it was delicious. The food was very heavy, lot's of grease but it's kind of what your signing up for, everything on the menu is like that. Service was great, they have table games you can play before the meal comes. Overall a good experience.

Joshua A.

Im not exactly sure where to begin... Let's start with the garlic and blue cheese duck fat fries. My fiancee and I shared them and we both were not disappointed. The blue cheese sauce was creamy and well portioned, the entree was served hot which absolutely added to the flavor. I enjoyed the Lucky #1 Sub and I couldn't contain the expressions I was making while devouring this deliciously messy sandwhich. My fiancee had the duck confi sandwhich and she couldn't put it down! The menu was a little pricey, but if I could've experienced it again, I'd do it in a heart beat! I believe the menu was A la carte, but two people could easily share the garlic and blue cheese fries. I hope you guys enjoy this spectacular find as much as we did! We dined around 3/3:30pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. There were people there but nothing crazy.

Ok, I have to admit that this is one of those gems that you find in the great city of Charleston. Good "bar food" but a little more upscale. Now you may ask after an opening like that why I didn't rate it a 5. The answer is simple; their service was slow while I was there. It went down like this: I was there with a party of 7 for brunch and we were seated in a responsible time (15-20 mins) without reservations. They only had 2 people serving (plus 1 behind the bar) at the time and it was a full house. The waitress was friendly and got our drink orders right away. The menu is great and we had ample time to review while it took the waitress 15 mins to get our drink order filled. After coming back with our drinks we proceeded to order. The food came out in decent time (20 mins) and everything was as we expected. The duck club is to die for along with the Monte Cristo. Highly recommend the duck fat fries as a side. Overall my experience was a 4 and would recommend going again if you aren't in a rush. Def. a low-key place in the land and one you want to go to just to relax and enjoy brunch with friends.

Michael M.

The food was great. I had the duck club and my wife had the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich both were great. The duck fries were also very good don't forget to get some gravy to go with them. The place looks like a dive but the wait staff is very very good. Don't be scared off by the way it looks.

Marie A.

Duck club was a little overrated for me but the Lucky #1 Sub is #1 in my book. Will come back again for this. Also don't underestimate the marinated veggies! They were a great accompaniment to this sandwich. Glad I gave them another try! My first time was about 2 years ago and I went duck all the way. Duck club and duck fat fries. I honestly think I had psyched myself up after seeing them on DDD. But this dive has so much more to offer. They have nice friendly wait staff but place fills up quick so get there early. Good beer selection as well.

Jeremy R.

After catching the TM segment on DDD I knew my love of duck would eventually lead me to their door. I finally made it and at happy hour, no less. I admit we might have gone a little overboard when we ordered a bucket of ponys, a duck club, no.1 sub, 2 orders duck fat fries a cheese portobello sandwich and some pickled veggies for the three of us. The sandwiches were AMAZING, some of the best I have ever had with the pork belly sub being my favorite. Duck fat fries were super thin but did not taste that fresh. We also ordered the chocolate bacon pie which was Ok but not the best I have had. Ambiance is fun and welcoming. Stick with the sandwiches and you can't go wrong.

What a place for a sandwich! A local dive-converted from a Huddle House-into a craft beer and sandwich mecca. Of the Duck Confit and the Thanksgiving Sammy, there are two fantastic sandwiches here. The duck pretty much falls apart in your mouth, and is not dry in the least bit. Paired with the (seemingly basic) sides and condiments of the rest of the club sandwich, it is a punch of flavor. The Thanksgiving Sammy is a (premium) turkey with stuffing, cranberry something or other, on a roll. Dipped in gravy. What? Yes, this is my new unofficial Thanksgiving ritual. Other sandwiches I've had from here were this special of the day-a black pepper turkey on rye with an orange sauce that was worth every penny, and the Moose burger. Both great, but the burger is my least fav. They also have random board games and a couple of pinball or arcade games too. Nothing much, but something to do. The waitress here has said that they basically strive for "good meat and good beer". Good words to live by. I make an attempt to stop by here any chance I'm in the area. This is a must visit for any serious Yelper or person serious about good food.

I really liked this place - we came with Seamus the yellow lab to celebrate out anniversary at lunch and it was a solid showing. I had the pate sandwich and JR C. had...I don't remember. Sorry. The fries are definitely awesome, beer selection is solid...a little crusty? Yeah...but a great place.

The duck fat fries are so good. You get a ton in the basket and you will eat them all. Great craft beer options. Good service and atmosphere. Parking is a little difficult to find but it is worth it.

Hands down the best club sandwich I've ever had and it was duck. Really cool atmosphere.

Food was good but not really worth the price... Paid 30$ for 2 sandwiches and some fries. I was expecting so much more. I had some box car betties a little while back and ya the sandwiches where pricy but when I was eating it I kept saying "Damn this is such a great sandwich". With this place not so much. It was just like.. Ya this is good but not great. The low rating it because the food didn't match the price but overall it was decent.

Who knew I was about to bite into one of the tastiest sandwiches of my life as we entered Charleston, SC on vacation the other day. I did my usual Yelp search & thought the Tatooed Moose sounded pretty interesting as a lunch stop with some tasty sounding sandwiches & it didn't upset either of us that it was a former Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives stop. We knew that would only make it a touch grittier, which after a few hrs in the car actually described us pretty well. While in the car I thought I might give the highly acclaimed duck confit sandwich a shot & then I found Lucky #1 on the menu and it called my name louder than my mother used to when I did something really really bad... BBQ braised pork belly with kimchi (plus kimchi pickles), cilantro, wasabi & sweet red chili on a bun. Where has this been all my life? Holy smokes that sub was tasty & I was super glad it was large enough that I didn't feel deprived giving my husband a big old hunk. I'm still fantasizing about this sandwich & I will be for a long, long time. With a side of bleu cheese, bacon coleslaw it may have pulled off a perfect 10 in lunch world. And they had really good beer selections here! I tasted my husband's Cuban Sandwich & it fell into the Meh Category, so clearly not everything here is that perfect but Lucky #1 sure is!!!

Duck confit clubsandwich was very good. The garlic aioli was impressive as well. Can't go wrong with duck fat fries.

Highly recommend the Duck Club Sandwich & the Duck Fat Fries with gravy. Also love the Cuban Sandwich. This place is a must to go to!

I had wanted to come here for about 6 months and we finally made it. I wanted to love it but I ended up being sorely disappointed. The service wasn't impressive. We had three people help us and then everyone went missing when we were ready to order. We had the blue cheese fries, the burger and the club. The burger was something you'd find at Chilis, the club was lacking lacking flavor and the fries were so chocked full of garlic the blue cheese was lost.

If I only had one meal left on this Earth I would drive to Charleston to eat here. Duck Confit Club and duck fries are amazing. The last time my husband and I were in Charleston we ate here twice in one weekend. Don't judge. After you eat here you'll understand. Servers are fun and quirky. Love that it's super casual. I'll take a dive bar with fantastic food over just about anything else. Bring a Sharpie and leave your mark. Pimento cheese ap is delicious as well! If you want something other than the duck club, get the Lucky #1 Sub.

I've never been to Charleston SC so I don't know the town that well. A co-worker found out and told me that if I do anything there "I have to go to the Tattooed Moose and eat the Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese French Fries cooked in Duck Fat and Mikes Famous Duck Club Sandwich." Its Spring Break and my family and I were up for an adventure. Don't let the location of the Tattooed Moose throw you. Its tucked away in a business / commercial area. The employees are nice and the food is Great for a fair price. Its been two weeks since we were there and we are still talking about it. This was a taste treat. If we ever go back there we will definitely eat there again. Yum yum.

So my friend was RAVING about their duck confit club sandwich and that we had to go there. Funny thing though, once we got here, she didn't get the duck confit club and neither did I. I opted for the beef brisket bbq sandwich and she got the cuban. We ordered a basket of duck fat fries to share. I wish I asked for more of their homemade pickles, those were so good. The beef brisket was great, the more meaty side instead of the fatty side. The fries were amazing. I also got the moose pies - which really do look like some moose patties - which were four Little Debbies Oatmeal creme sandwiches, two for each sandwich, and in between there was a peanut butter and banana moose. ( which by the way with chocolate sauce on top was amazing). They were pretty good. but I love those oatmeal creme sandwiches so I was already sold there. We did have some issues with the service. We never really saw our server. She must have had half the place by herself inside and out so she was super busy. I can see how this place can get real slow on service when they are slammed if this is the way it was on a rather late weeknight.

Had the Duck Club and it was phenomenal. Really enjoyed this place and will definitely refer this place to friends and return again. Only reason they're not receiving 5 stars is because the restaurant needs to be deep cleaned as there was dust all over the walls and decorations and vents.

Say what you will about Guy Fieri and "triple D," but take his recommendation and get yourself to the Tattooed Moose if you are within 50 miles of Charleston. I give the Moose a rare five stars because in the world of dive bars and gastropubs, the Tattooed Moose sets a high bar. Read on to learn why. Do not be deterred by appearances of the Tattooed Moose or its neighbors. The restaurant is on an unattractive and busy road that parallels the Cooper River west of the Ravenel Bridge. Situated across the street from the Longshoreman's Union hall, it is not scenic Charleston. While the exterior of the Moose is uninspiring, what counts here is the food and service. Both are fantastic. The crowd when we arrived was young college students, tattooed hipsters (appropriately), blue collar workers, and a few middle aged couples. A wide spectrum. While you may think you will stick out, trust me, you will feel welcome. To the food. The table split an order of Roasted Garlic & Blue Cheese Fries ($8.50) topped with blue cheese sauce & a bulb of garlic confit. This is a cardiac surgeon's best friend and too rich for my taste, but a few bites were tasty. This easily feeds 4 - 6. For dinner, my father-in-law and my son had Mike's Famous Duck Club ($13.50), a triple decker filled with house-made duck confit, apple smoked bacon, hickory smoked cheddar, on sweet Hawaiian bread with garlic aioli, lettuce, tomato, & red onion. My mother-in-law and I each had a "Lucky #1" Sub ($8.75): house-made BBQ braised pork belly, seared on the grill, topped with house made kimchi, tomatoes, cucumbers, crispy onions, cilantro, wasabi mayo, & sweet red chili sauce on a toasted roll. We shared halves. Both were featured on Triple D and both EXCEEDED Guy's unbridled praises. Seriously. The Tattooed Moose has a serious list of beers, including Westbrook White Thai, my new favorite: think Belgian White Ale with lemongrass instead of curacao, and a hint of ginger. Look. You would not go here to wine and dine an important client or to propose to your girlfriend (or whomever), but you must go. It is that good.

AHHH what can you say about the Tattooed Moose other than great divery bar with some awesome beer and food selections??? Oh yeah - that it was featured on Food Network Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. That should put any qualms you have about the place to rest. Dress code - whatever and however you wish to present yourself. They have the most diverse tap, bottle and canned beer around. And that is saying a lot. I mean the selection is quite impressive for a dive bar. Seating can be sparse on the busier days, but they do have a nice little outside patio you can sit at. Inside is a little dark, Tvs in the corners, and lots of games to play like checkers or connect 4 !! (throw back to childhood - love it) Service can also be spotty when they are busy, so definitely order 2 drinks at a time. The food - the food is mouth watering. Of course you have to try the Duck Club - thats one of the dishes that were featured on DDD, with the duck fat fries. OMG!! delish. (its great for hangovers too). Even if you dont like or have never tried duck before _ TRY THE DUCK CLUB. or another fabulous sandwich is the Curry pork sandwich. OH !!! And the Thanksgiving sandwich, wow - WOW. Great place to people watch, hang out with some friends and have a few drinks and some great food without having to worry about what ya look like before you leave the house - always a plus in my book. :)

Well the appearance was nice outside and inside the menu had some great items. Went there with my roommate to check it out for the first time. But the service from the bar was HORRIBLE. The server took forever to get our drinks especially for my drink . I felt like I was a ghost . there was NO acknowledgement from her. It took her 15 minutes to get a draft beer. We also ordered food there from another bar server that was on top of it ,she even ask us if we need another drink and we sad yes we got our drinks less than 10seconds and the food was the only thing that was really good. We ask for the bill and she took for ever to take the bill. I felt as if I should have gone behind the bar to swipe and sign then close out the tab myself. In the near future we will try it again but f on another bar server just not from the other bar girl.

Burger & Duck fat fries were awesome for lunch Friday. Get there early. There were about 30 people there waiting on them open. Great tap selection. This was my first visit but I will definitely go back.

Got the blue cheese and garlic duck fries. Very good. Even better...the duck club. It is solid... Great combination of tastes. We also got a side of the pickles...the tomatoes in the pickle dish were excellent! The hubs appreciated the beer selection. We split it all and left very satisfied!

A much better option than many in Downtown Charleston. Tattooed Moose is a working man's restaurant, where most everything around is dainty or touristy. Sandwiches here are big, and have the quality bread and toppings that most restaurants ignore. They have a good selection of drinks and great happy hour specials. It's a great spot to lounge outside too on a cool day. The staff is friendly, and don't exude snobbery like nearby places. The only big knock I give Tattooed Moose is that while the fries are excellent, they should be served hot to everyone. Overall, though, this is a regular spot for me when in Charleston.

We had the Mikes Famous Duck Club and the Low country Cuban. The prices were excellent, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was amazing.The servers were prompt, knowledgeable and professional (Megan was our waitress, did awesome) Easy to see why they were recomended to us. If you are in the area and in the mood for an amazing sandwich, you have to give them a try. Parking is my only complaint.

Deb W.

Hard to tell because the place and server was so filthy and the flies were insane - we were outside. I get it's a college bar and we love dives, but this took it to a different level. The food seemed really good but it was hard to get past the atmosphere. We are really looking forward to Tattooed Moose opening on Johns Island. I think we'll love it there.

Best burger in town. Amazing. Also the pickles are like no other. You want to eat a whole jar. This place is also a great hangout for beers and live music. Always friendly and the patio is great.

The duck club sandwich and the duck fat fries w/ roasted garlic & bleu cheese is a most. Do your taste buds a favor, and give this place a try!

Misha F.

Love this place... come here every time I am in Charleston. Im from Asheville NC and this place makes me feel right at home. BUT the have great live local music and the DUCK club is fantastic. Another fav is the Blue Cheese Fries with roasted garlic... Im talking the whole bulb of garlic... great selection of craft beers in bottles. My only disappointment was no IPA on tap...

Ketan S.

Amazing place for a fun night out. This place has a very different theme and setting. lots of noise when you go inside. Don't forget to try the Duck Club sandwich "my fav" Took some of my business guests here and they loved it. But this isn't a place for a formal business dinner(obviously) there is place to sit outside as well. Service is good. You tend to see quite a bit of young college crowd here too.

Mike B.

There is not another sandwich in the world that is better than the duck club from the tattooed moose. It will make you want to come back everyday just to relive it. Highly recommend.

Kayla G.

The food was good. Loved the duck fat fries. I got the burger, which was nothing special. We spent $65 for 4 people. I ended up eating less than half of my food. If I went again, I'd just get a basket of fries & the house made garlic Aoli is wonderful. Nice atmosphere, we wrote out names on the booth! (Everyone does that)
