We walked here from our hotel and had a great dinner! The food was great and the service was outstanding. It was the first time that we've eaten at a Sticky Fingers but the sauce we've had before. We would go again!

BBQ at its finest! An all around amazing place with a huge menu to choose from! Great service and just all around a great experience! Be prepared to be in a food coma after!

Good service, cool vibe, super friendly staff Staff told us to have potato skins and sandwich aopetizer, both were good and we sampled all the sauce. Memphis and whiskey sauces were my favorite. Would've bought a sampler pack too if we weren't travelling.

I enjoyed the meals, and found that they were not bad. The service was horrendous, though, seeing that we waited for almost 15min for the server to take our drink orders. We then waited half an hour for our meals, one of which was a simple salad. I may consider coming again in order to give the place another chance.

Surprisingly I was disappointed with our dinner. The ribs were average, baked potato was burned and I have had better baked beans out of a can. I was not impressed but I should not have had high expectations from a chain rib joint. On a positive note ... The staff was friendly.

Southern Heat & Carolina Sweet were my award winning rib choices the moment my eyes caught its first glimpse of this beautiful BBQ menu. So lip smacking were the delictable ribs that only a few stick to your internal ribs, southern sides had the creamy texture to take on these unbelievable treats. The Mac n Cheese was particularly good and a fine combo for my rib choices. I'm not quite sure of the process that the ribs endore, pre saucing, but with locations in TN, SC, GA and FLA is say they know and have known how to serve up some Southern 'Que. There us a lunch sandwich special that I saw advertised, as a huge rack of ribs can be occasionally overkill for a midday meal. The decour had me so enthralled and caught up on the moment that I make a purchase of their sauce kit, even though I was traveling and had little use for the party pack. They're still in my pantry, 800+ miles removed.

I'm sorry Sticky Fingers, I feel very bad giving you 3 stars. Your staff is very friendly, and we did not have to wait long for our to-go order. I desperately wanted you to become our go-to takeout spot, but I am afraid this will not be the case. We ordered ribs, pulled chicken, fried pickles, mac and cheese, and green beans. The chicken was a bit dry, and I kept getting parts of tendon or cartilage that was inedible. My boyfriend enjoyed the ribs, said there was plenty of meat on them. The fried pickles were good. The breading left a little to be desired, but not bad. The mac and cheese was a bit lackluster. We are still on a quest to find the best mac and cheese in Charleston. Definitely isn't here. I hope next time we get to-go from Sticky Fingers, the quality has improved!

Not a bad dining experience. Stopped in for a quick lunch and service was good and food was tasty. Bbq is very moist and flavorful. Wife had salad and it was very fresh.

Stopped by for dinner before the 4th of July fireworks. Had to wait about 30 minutes but they told me 45minutes. Service was very slow but they were very busy. BBQ nachos were amazing and so was the sweet tea. Ribs had good flavor but very dried out. Chicken was average. Sauces were very good. I think they were just overwelmed with the holiday rush. I will probably give them a try again.

Let's face it, there's no better BBQ in Charleston than Melvin's. But, Sticky Fingers is a fair alternative. A chain, of course, this Sticky Finger is better than most. It's a great place for a family lunch or dinner and offers fair service with average BBQ. We tried the three meat platter and mixed all the meats between the two of us. They are all fair, but a little dry. Fortunately, there's plenty of different sauces to lather them up. The sides, however, don't taste homemade unfortunately. Still if your in the neighborhood for an affordable meal, that will likely come quick, and you aren't destined for The South's best BBQ, you'll do fine here.

I went here years ago and it was great but last night the ribs were over cooked and gristly. I ordered a half rack of Carolina Sweet and my husband ordered the sampler and it appeared as though the drenched it in sauce to cover up the dryness of the ribs. Also order the greens beans and sweet potato casserole, the green beans were nasty and the sweet potato casserole tasted like it came out of the school cafeteria. I will never go here again. And on the positive side the sweet tea was good.

A taxi driver told me I had to come here during my visit to Charleston to have the fried corn. I couldn't pass on fried corn so I made my way here before going to the beach. I got to try a few items since I went with 5 other friends and here are my favs- sweet potato fries, wings and of course the fried corn. I had the ribs and they were good but nothing to brag about. Next time I'm in town I will make sure to come back for some fried corn.

We had been on vacation in myrtle beach for A week & went to Sticky Fingers there....we decided to drive down to charleston & stay over night before going home to TN. The day we left (today) we stopped at Thus SF in Mt Pleasant. The food was just as good here, but portion sizes & the Size of my daughters chicken fingers were smaller, but was still enough to fill us up. I had the pulled pork, chicken fingers, slaw & Mac n cheese. I was not impressed with the slaw...the "dressing" was so watery, that there was an inch of it left in the serving cup...& it was like pure water. The Mac n cheese at SF is probably the best you can get out. The tenders were really good & so was the pulled pork, however my serving had a lot of fat in it...is say 1/4 of the serving was fat that I didn't eat (it's just gross if you do). My husband had turkey, brisket, fries okra & mashed potatoes w/ gravy. He said all of his was great. He was given mac n cheese when he ordered potatoes, but our waitress quickly got his potatoes...free side for the mix up. ;). His glass did empty & no refill until we asked...she really felt bad, so also brought him one to go. She was very nice though. Overall, it was good & we would go back.

I'm not sure how I ended up here, but it was after 9PM and I was hungry and their lights were on. Big-time chain food and those who know BBQ always look down their noses at chain restaurants for their 'cue. Hey, cut it out! It wasn't bad! It was A-OK, as the three stars go. There was a very good portion of sliced beef brisket on my plate with a decent serving of mashed potatoes and green beans. It wasn't awesome, it wasn't terrible. It was just... good.

Our waitress Reynolds was absolutely A -M-A-Z-I-N-G! The food was great too. We had the bbq nachos, which by the way we're some of the best I've ever had. And I had the brisket sandwich, I drizzled the Memphis big on it and it became bbq heaven. This place is worth the visit 100%.

Rubber ribs. Got the habanero hot, no heat at all and barely any sauce (which would've helped swallow a piece of that pathetic pork). Good service though.

I don't know if another review will help anyone but my two cents is : Nice location away from downtown in the hotel district of Mt. Pleasant. , there are a number of styles of BBQ sauce available on the entrees. My guest had BBQ brisket and ribs and both were excellent and fortunately for me, more than she could eat by herself. I had catfish and shrimp, which was also excellent. The fish was done perfectly inside a crispy cornmeal coat. The side dishes were a very nice cole slaw , baked beans and french fries, the spicy coated kind. A nice ambiance, and an attentive but subtle staff. Private parking lot. Easy to find. Prices are not too bad for the area.

Wow! This place has the best service!!! We were pleasantly greeted when we walked in by the manager, Kim. Then we were seated in Ashley's section, good for us. Ashley was lively, eager and responsive. I can't say enough good things about our visit. She walked us thru the menu, made us feel at home and made suggestions. She learned it was my birthday and surprised me with a birthday dessert. We visited the same location the very next day and service was again impeccable. They remembered it was my bday and gave me a free tshirt. This place is unreal! We are visiting Charleston but this visit has assured we visit often during our stay.

This place is amazing! One of the sauces is sold in our grocery stores (we are from NH) so when we realized this was the same company as the sauces, we definitely had to try it. Really glad we did. My husband and I shared the rib sampler for two and got baked beans, hush puppies, potato salad, and fried corn on the cob for our sides. The ribs completely fell off the bone and all the sauces were really good. Our waitress Ashleigh recommended the fried corn on the cob and definitely glad we tried it. It was amazing!! Ashleigh was probably one of the best waitresses we've had. Extremely nice and very helpful with recommendations. You will not be disappointed with this place.

Love, love Sticky Fingers! First tried them when I moved to Charleston, SC in 1995 and have enjoyed watching them grow and expand to many of my family's favorite cities in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Good food, comfortable decor, GREAT name, and all around fun place to eat. Give them a try.

Great service and BBQ! They had just introduced a new menu yesterday when we stopped by for lunch. We were quickly seated and served. Our food arrived in a great amount of time (I had pulled pork and fried okra and my wife just ordered chicken tenders). Everything was delicious and our server was attentive. No complaints here!

Gretchen B.
This is a good solid restaurant for BBQ. We got a to go pack to take back to our condo. Everything was packed very nicely for the trip. Pulled pork, Mac & cheese, coleslaw and banana pudding all very good. We tried several different BBQ sauces and, of course, it will vary to each person which one they like best but each one that we tried was good. The to go pack was great way to feed our family!

Service was great, however the food was not. We ate at sticky fingers and had the food thru their catering before. So, we expected a great meal. I ordered the rib and pulled pork, my girl friend just had the ribs platter. Both our meals arrived just minutes after our drinks were served. Both plates were cold, which surprised the both of us. Anyway, we were hungry, so we started eating. The French fries were stale, tasted like refried, so we asked the server to get us some fresh ones. I tried the pulled pork, which was OK, had a nice smoke ring. But then we both cut into our ribs and they were both pink, bloody on the inside. We informed the server about this and were told that the pink is normal, that this is the smoke ring. I showed her the pulled pork and told her, that I understand you might have a small pink area on the outside where the meat is smoked, but not the entire rib is pink and bloody. So she took it back and the manager asked us what three problem was. We explained everything to him and he asked us if we wanted a new meal, however we decided to just leave. So, service and management was great; the food not so much. But, I would go back there again... One day...

Better location than downtown Charleston. Great restaurant and great bbq. They offer a mustard based bbq sauce and I ordered my ribs, smoked sausage, and pulled pork smothered with their classic (must based) bbq sauce and it was just perfect! The mac n' cheese was declicious! They have a kids bbq sandwich which is a great option and my daughter loved it. Excellent environment and the staff was very friendly. The manager came by to check on my table as well as everyone else's (and it was a slow Monday). Their sweet tea is on point and they were so nice to offer some to-go since we were traveling that day. Overall great place to eat, comfortable place to be at, and I will definitely going back while I'm in South Carolina. If you're down in Charleston on your way to Isle of Palms it's on the way just after the bridge. They do have a location downtown but it's very hard to find parking and unless you're actually going to be staying downtown and site-seeing I wouldn't recommend going downtown just for food.

Robert A.
It's been a while since my visit here, so I'll try to sum up what I can remember. The food was very good. I'm not giving it five starts though, due to the fact that it's a chain restaurant and I prefer my BBQ from a local restaurant where the owner does everything to his/her own recipe rather than some random cook, following directions on paper. The athmosphere was nice. and the service was very friendly as well. Pricing isn't too bad either, considering that BBQ places usually are a little more pricey than your AppleBee's. Overall I'll be back!

There seems to be a management team at SF that expects a high level of customer service...there's a mature woman manager who always is solicitous of diners and her workers are reflective of her attention to detail...and then there seems to be a backup or secondary team who happened to be working when my family and I was there October 28. It clearly was an off night and our waitress was distracted by a large group. We ordered an appetizer...it arrived and we sat and sat and sat...while the waitress walked past us attending to table after table, but not ours. No refilled drinks, salads arriving with dinner orders from an expediter I suppose, not our waitress in any event; the whole tone was one of being bothered with our table. The manager on duty, a young man with a sleeve tattoo, spoke to several tables but walked repeatedly around or by ours. Finally, I went to the counter and just paid my bill...which he offered to comp but I insisted I pay...but no explanation was offered about what was the deal with our waitress whose name was Tanner, I think. Tip to owners and upper management at SF...insist all managers have the level of customer service of your mature female manager and ditch those who do not follow her lead.

Had sticky fingers cater our wedding at Boone Hall Plantation at the cotton dock. The food was great the service before, during and after the wedding was top notch. Sean helped me a ton with setting up extra coolers with ice for no extra charge...great food and great service is the key to this business and they definitely hit a home run!

I had not been to the My. P location in a while - I came away from dinner very disappointed. First the good - fast, friendly seating, very nice pre-dinner cocktails served rapidly with a smile. Now the bad - my ribs were burned. I asked for a half and half rack of Memphis Wet and Tennessee Whiskey - the whole rack was the same burned sauce - I really could not tell which one they used. On top of burned, the ribs were wimpy, no meat!!! For $21??, really??? Lunch sandwiches are pretty good, but I will skip the dinner menu next time!!

Daniel A.
Took the family to this location, now we have ate at the downtown location and it is 5 stars for me. This location was not that good. Almost had that fast food feel to it. I got the Memphis dry rub and it was dry dry dry. Even the dry rub is supposed to be juicy underneath. Our waitress placed toooo much emphasis on "Ya,ll " rather shouted it every chance she got. Just not a good atmosphere. Sorry will not be going back.

Great rib and BBQ. Must try that chocolate lava cake!!!! For a little bit more than ten bucks I got way much food for myself. The restaurant's environment is also warm and cozy, good for families. I got a take out and it was quite fast.

We were staying at a hotel nearby and this was on their list of restaurant suggestions. It was great! I had a rib/brisket/link combo platter and it was all good. Ribs were moist, tender and good smoke flavor. Links were just the right degree of spicy flavor. The brisket was also moist, flavorful and tender. I liked the sauce. My wife had a Smokehouse Club Salad with Pulled Chicken. She liked it. She reported that it was fresh, crispy and a good balance of veggies. She also said that the ingredients were not wet from washing so they did a good job of prep in the kitchen. And it was properly dressed - not swimming in Honey Mustard Dressing. I had quite a bit leftover so I asked for a carton. The server was really nice and we talked about this place and other good places across the river in Charleston. We were going to be around for another couple of days so we chatted and he gave us some recommendations. I asked him for more BBQ for my leftovers. To my amazement, he brought an unopened bottle of Memphis Original (a bit sweet/tangy) the same flavor I had chosen when I ordered my platter. That bottle was worth $3.99 and there was no charge for it. Now, that's what I call service. We liked the place. It had the typical Western motif and it was well lit, comfortable and clean. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality/quantity! What's not to like???!!! If we are ever in the area, again, we would go back! Jim

While I don't think that my family has ever sat down to eat here, we've grabbed take out a lot. An order of hushpuppies or ribs is perfect to add as a side or make the main part of a meal for a group out at the beach house. The food is reasonably priced and both the hushpuppies and barbeque are really good. They're good about giving an estimated time of having the food ready too.

Had not been back for to this location for awhile and am glad we came by. Restaurant was busy but were we seated very quickly. Server suggested we try the new catfish and shrimp and it was outstanding. We also had the rib and wing combo and they we're very good with a true smoky flavor. Ribs were falling right off the bone and wings we large and very fresh. The best part of the meal was the dessert. It was a home made bread pudding that was to die for.

We were coming back from Isle of Palms and stopped here because we were hot and tired of walking from our hotel into downtown Charleston. It was soooo good, when I wasn't expecting it to be. From the huge drinks to the big tables, I loved it. We got the rib sampler, and it was divine. I went home and ordered all of the sauces for my family members. The salad was only meh, but this is a rib joint. I know its a chain, but its worth a stop. There were a lot of families. We were there early, which may have been the reason why. Don't overlook this spot, its is very good!

Teresa P.
we stayed at a hotel nearby and walked to the restaurant with my family, we had been given a VIP coupon for free peach cobbler which helped us decide to eat there but had forgot it at the hotel. so that was a plus, that it is was near several hotels. we have a sticky fingers here and knew it would probably be an alright place to eat. it was. the staff was friendly and the food was great. we ordered the sampler for two platter and my daughter ordered the half slap platter. needless to say none of us finished our meal, a whole lot to eat but we did take it with us. we ordered four sides of roasted corn, baked beans, broccoli casserole, and my favorite sweet potato casserole i would recommend the sweet potato casserole, i don't know if i got lucky and they just took it out of the oven or they keep it warm that way by omg it was like heaven. two thumbs up there. it does cost a little more since it was a specialty side dish but well worth it. the broccoli casserole which also costed more because of it being a specially side was pretty good to, but i had pretty much filled up on the sweet potato casserole. i will say this also we ordered the roasted corn on the cob, we have it here at our sticky fingers and i love it. i have no problem eating it but this sticky fingers buts a dry rub on theirs, so be very careful if you are watching you salt as i am because it was full of it, i was only able to take a couple of bites but still it was good. over all a good experience and would go back again.

Great service, but the food was mediocre at best. I guess Friday is kids night, because it was crazy in there. Despite the atmosphere, our waitress was terrific. The ribs were pretty good, but the sides were weak as was the pulled pork. I realized tonight why I have avoided this place for over two years.

Keith L.
One of the best pork ribs my wife and I have had..until we went to Wiley's Championship BBQ in Savannah. Get the pork ribs if you go. The pulled pork was pretty good also, very tender. They had about 6 different BBQ sauces but I liked the Carolina mustard based BBQ sauce the best. Sticky Fingers is pretty good for a chain and their sides were not bad. You do get a lot for your money here so we did enjoy ourselves. BTW - The owners are from TN I believe so it is not really Charleston BBQ.

David P.
Don't know how the locations can differ, but they do. The Mt. Pleasant place ribs were not as meaty and moist as the Charleston location. At least they had the same Carolina Classic sauce.

Feels very much like a chain. Average in almost every regard. Safe in the sense that is is average and you don't have to eat seafood if you eat here.

I am not from the South, nor am I an expert on Southern food. With that disclaimer...I really enjoy Sticky Fingers! The chicken wings are fantastic. Probably the best I've ever had. They're quite large and meaty. They come bare, and you can put any of their sauces on top. I especially enjoy the pulled chicken cobb salad, which is good quality for a 'non-salad' kind of restaurant. The sandwiches are also quite good. Never had the ribs, but I plan to try them at some point. I find the prices quite reasonable. Service has always been good.

Wow!! This place has excellent ribs. Try the rib sampler and don't look back. I have been buying the sauce at the grocery store for a while and didn't know it came from a restaurant. Convenient to several hotels in Mt. Pleasant.

Maria T.
Fantastic service and very friendly staff started this meal with a bang. I had the Carolina Sweet half rack with sweet potato fries and baked beans. The half rack was smoky, zesty, sweet and falling of the bones tender. The fries were perfectly salty and crispy and the baked beans were a savory compliment to the meal. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and even offered sodas to go at the completion of our meal. Wonderful and tasty experience!

Jason K.
Ehhhhhhh. I must have had a unique bad experience here, because I don't understand how this place could deserve four stars with all the good bbq places in South Carolina. I ordered a rack of ribs w/ mac 'n cheese and collard greens. I'll tell you, the sides were pretty legit, but the ribs were very dry - especially the ends - way overcooked. When you're paying $20+ for ribs, you expect fall on the bone flavor country. High dissapointed for ribs that tasted like they had been sitting out all day like you see at times in the supermarket.

My brother first brought me here to have "Real Charleston BBQ". Of course that's before I discovered Sticky Fingers is the "boxed wine" of Charleston BBQ. If you're really thirsty and really need a buzz, then take your chances. So if my friends said, "Hey let's all go to Sticky Fingers" and I couldn't convince them otherwise with persuasive speech or violence, I'd go and enjoy it okay. BBQ was a bit dry. They have several styles of Que, but their mustard-base (local to the area) was average-to-poor. I've tried Que all over the country and their renditions of the others were average-to-poor as well. Service was nice, prices are a on the high side in comparison to the "authentic" que joints in the Charleston metro that tend to go buffet-style. Check my lists for a running commentary on the best bbq in the Charleston area..

I have been going to Sticky Fingers for a number of years. I have always enjoyed the food. I frequently get the dry rub ribs which are almost always very good. Once in a while the food is not as good as usual or the service is spotty but most of the time you will get a really good meal.

Scott S.
Good ribs and chicken. As I've seen mentioned, this is not a place to have "authentic" Charleston BBQ. They offer a dry rub or wet sauce. I recommend the rib sampler with an ice cold beer. In my 3 or 4 trips there, the meat was very tender and fell of the bone. Just a little pricey in my opinion and service can be hit or miss. They also bottle their sauce for customer purchase. Worth a try but absolutely not a place for authentic Charleston BBQ.

qirk z.
Yum. Found out about this place after an internet search for good eats in the SC area. I was on business trip so I looked this place up. The 'Q was good, was sauce was good. The meat (pork rib) was a bit dry, the meat didn't fall off the bone.

We had a crazy experience at Sticky Fingers. First of all, if you don't like dining in a restaurant full of kids then don't go to Chuck E. Cheese's any time and don't go anywhere on Father's Day. Well it was Father's Day at Sticky Fingers and the place was a zoo. (Oh, if you want an actual food review just skip to the end.) We actually got seated pretty fast and got our drinks. And then that was it. Five minutes, then ten minutes, fifteen, maybe even twenty? (Actually it was a while ago so I'm probably just exaggerating.) No one was even near our section. Well finally we flagged down someone else's waitress and place our order. A very nice manager came by and brought us a free appetizer. That was great because we were hungry when we got there and by then we were starving. Of course we had already placed an order for different appetizer and some ribs. A few minutes later the manager shows up with the appetizer that we ordered. All of a sudden our long lost waitress appears... with a second helping of the appetizer that we ordered. Now things are just getting ridiculous, three appetizers may be two much for two people, just maybe. When we left they gave us a $15 gift certificate to smooth things over. We didn't think it was worth going back. Ok, food. The chicken wings were alright, not nearly as good as Wild Wing. The potato skins were pretty good and actually we filled up on these waiting for our ribs. It was a good thing too, the ribs were disappointing. Dry and not too meaty, the Carolina sweet sauce just barely saved them. Despite our experience we would have gone back if the food was good, but it wasn't even close to drawing us back in for another round. BBQ. I mean that their feature, I guess. Their Que is pretty good, I've had it plenty of times at catered events and it is tasty. But when you're looking for BBQ you may be better off with Melvin's or Whole Foods (both directly across the street), which do a pretty good job. I hear Mama Brown's is the place to go though, it's on my list.

Kathleen P.
Really, really good food. They have huge portions and their own line of barbacue sauces...which you might want to buy and bring home with you...they are really good too. They have ribs, chicken, steak, and they give you a towel for a napkin, because you get "Sticky Fingers." It's also decorated cool inside, which Blues pictures and art all around. Now I want to go...damn you for only being in SC.

First day in Charleston we stopped in here for some BBQ. Must say the fried pickles were probably the best we had ever had... The batter was fantastic. The ribs were also good. We had the rib sampler which I think is a great idea because you get a little bit of everything. The sauces were pretty good too, except the whiskey one (unless you like whiskey) because it really truly did taste like whiskey! Lol

Marivic L.
Great server/bartender named Maria. She's so peppy, friendly, efficient. We got the rib sampler which had 4 diff kinds of ribs, all of which were enormous and tasty. I liked trying all their sauces as well. And their sides were equally good. In order of my faves - greens, mac n cheese, baked beans, coleslaw. The watermelon drink I had was really good and so was my friend's margarita. We also tried the fried pickles as an app. Perfectly fried and tasty on its own - but dip it in the sauce and you'll be in love. Great place for a casual meal.

We had the rib sampler which I think is a great idea because you get a little bit of everything. The sauces were pretty good too, except the whiskey one (unless you like whiskey) because it really truly did taste like whiskey! Lol

Great server/bartender named Maria. She's so peppy, friendly, efficient. We got the rib sampler which had 4 diff kinds of ribs, all of which were enormous and tasty. I liked trying all their sauces as well. And their sides were equally good. In order of my faves - greens, mac n cheese, baked beans, coleslaw. The watermelon drink I had was really good and so was my friend's margarita. We also tried the fried pickles as an app. Perfectly fried and tasty on its own - but dip it in the sauce and you'll be in love. Great place for a casual meal.

More than ribs Good overall as you would like to expect If you don't have the main focus items, Pleasant alternative are the chicken wings, which get put on the pit too Also surprised on fried pickels...best I've had

We heard this place was good & we weren't disappointed. My son says, "these are the best ribs I've ever had!" The service was also very friendly & fast. I also am always looking for a place to go with the kids & this is very family friendly.

Southern Heat & Carolina Sweet were my award winning rib choices the moment my eyes caught its first glimpse of this beautiful BBQ menu. So lip smacking were the delictable ribs that only a few stick to your internal ribs, southern sides had the creamy texture to take on these unbelievable treats. The Mac n Cheese was particularly good and a fine combo for my rib choices. I'm not quite sure of the process that the ribs endore, pre saucing, but with locations in TN, SC, GA and FLA is say they know and have known how to serve up some Southern 'Que. There us a lunch sandwich special that I saw advertised, as a huge rack of ribs can be occasionally overkill for a midday meal. The decour had me so enthralled and caught up on the moment that I make a purchase of their sauce kit, even though I was traveling and had little use for the party pack. They're still in my pantry, 800+ miles removed.

I'm sorry Sticky Fingers, I feel very bad giving you 3 stars. Your staff is very friendly, and we did not have to wait long for our to-go order. I desperately wanted you to become our go-to takeout spot, but I am afraid this will not be the case. We ordered ribs, pulled chicken, fried pickles, mac and cheese, and green beans. The chicken was a bit dry, and I kept getting parts of tendon or cartilage that was inedible. My boyfriend enjoyed the ribs, said there was plenty of meat on them. The fried pickles were good. The breading left a little to be desired, but not bad. The mac and cheese was a bit lackluster. We are still on a quest to find the best mac and cheese in Charleston. Definitely isn't here. I hope next time we get to-go from Sticky Fingers, the quality has improved!

Not a bad dining experience. Stopped in for a quick lunch and service was good and food was tasty. Bbq is very moist and flavorful. Wife had salad and it was very fresh.

Stopped by for dinner before the 4th of July fireworks. Had to wait about 30 minutes but they told me 45minutes. Service was very slow but they were very busy. BBQ nachos were amazing and so was the sweet tea. Ribs had good flavor but very dried out. Chicken was average. Sauces were very good. I think they were just overwelmed with the holiday rush. I will probably give them a try again.

Let's face it, there's no better BBQ in Charleston than Melvin's. But, Sticky Fingers is a fair alternative. A chain, of course, this Sticky Finger is better than most. It's a great place for a family lunch or dinner and offers fair service with average BBQ. We tried the three meat platter and mixed all the meats between the two of us. They are all fair, but a little dry. Fortunately, there's plenty of different sauces to lather them up. The sides, however, don't taste homemade unfortunately. Still if your in the neighborhood for an affordable meal, that will likely come quick, and you aren't destined for The South's best BBQ, you'll do fine here.

We walked here from our hotel and had a great dinner! The food was great and the service was outstanding. It was the first time that we've eaten at a Sticky Fingers but the sauce we've had before. We would go again!

I went here years ago and it was great but last night the ribs were over cooked and gristly. I ordered a half rack of Carolina Sweet and my husband ordered the sampler and it appeared as though the drenched it in sauce to cover up the dryness of the ribs. Also order the greens beans and sweet potato casserole, the green beans were nasty and the sweet potato casserole tasted like it came out of the school cafeteria. I will never go here again. And on the positive side the sweet tea was good.

A taxi driver told me I had to come here during my visit to Charleston to have the fried corn. I couldn't pass on fried corn so I made my way here before going to the beach. I got to try a few items since I went with 5 other friends and here are my favs- sweet potato fries, wings and of course the fried corn. I had the ribs and they were good but nothing to brag about. Next time I'm in town I will make sure to come back for some fried corn.

We had been on vacation in myrtle beach for A week & went to Sticky Fingers there....we decided to drive down to charleston & stay over night before going home to TN. The day we left (today) we stopped at Thus SF in Mt Pleasant. The food was just as good here, but portion sizes & the Size of my daughters chicken fingers were smaller, but was still enough to fill us up. I had the pulled pork, chicken fingers, slaw & Mac n cheese. I was not impressed with the slaw...the "dressing" was so watery, that there was an inch of it left in the serving cup...& it was like pure water. The Mac n cheese at SF is probably the best you can get out. The tenders were really good & so was the pulled pork, however my serving had a lot of fat in it...is say 1/4 of the serving was fat that I didn't eat (it's just gross if you do). My husband had turkey, brisket, fries okra & mashed potatoes w/ gravy. He said all of his was great. He was given mac n cheese when he ordered potatoes, but our waitress quickly got his potatoes...free side for the mix up. ;). His glass did empty & no refill until we asked...she really felt bad, so also brought him one to go. She was very nice though. Overall, it was good & we would go back.

I'm not sure how I ended up here, but it was after 9PM and I was hungry and their lights were on. Big-time chain food and those who know BBQ always look down their noses at chain restaurants for their 'cue. Hey, cut it out! It wasn't bad! It was A-OK, as the three stars go. There was a very good portion of sliced beef brisket on my plate with a decent serving of mashed potatoes and green beans. It wasn't awesome, it wasn't terrible. It was just... good.

Our waitress Reynolds was absolutely A -M-A-Z-I-N-G! The food was great too. We had the bbq nachos, which by the way we're some of the best I've ever had. And I had the brisket sandwich, I drizzled the Memphis big on it and it became bbq heaven. This place is worth the visit 100%.

Rubber ribs. Got the habanero hot, no heat at all and barely any sauce (which would've helped swallow a piece of that pathetic pork). Good service though.

Everything was fantastic! My wife got the pulled chicken sandwhich/rib combo and I got the rib plate with the dry rub. The ribs fall off the bone and the rub and sauces are excellent. The sweet potato casserole is also very good.

This place is amazing! One of the sauces is sold in our grocery stores (we are from NH) so when we realized this was the same company as the sauces, we definitely had to try it. Really glad we did. My husband and I shared the rib sampler for two and got baked beans, hush puppies, potato salad, and fried corn on the cob for our sides. The ribs completely fell off the bone and all the sauces were really good. Our waitress Ashleigh recommended the fried corn on the cob and definitely glad we tried it. It was amazing!! Ashleigh was probably one of the best waitresses we've had. Extremely nice and very helpful with recommendations. You will not be disappointed with this place.

Love, love Sticky Fingers! First tried them when I moved to Charleston, SC in 1995 and have enjoyed watching them grow and expand to many of my family's favorite cities in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Good food, comfortable decor, GREAT name, and all around fun place to eat. Give them a try.

Great service and BBQ! They had just introduced a new menu yesterday when we stopped by for lunch. We were quickly seated and served. Our food arrived in a great amount of time (I had pulled pork and fried okra and my wife just ordered chicken tenders). Everything was delicious and our server was attentive. No complaints here!

Gretchen B.
This is a good solid restaurant for BBQ. We got a to go pack to take back to our condo. Everything was packed very nicely for the trip. Pulled pork, Mac & cheese, coleslaw and banana pudding all very good. We tried several different BBQ sauces and, of course, it will vary to each person which one they like best but each one that we tried was good. The to go pack was great way to feed our family!

Service was great, however the food was not. We ate at sticky fingers and had the food thru their catering before. So, we expected a great meal. I ordered the rib and pulled pork, my girl friend just had the ribs platter. Both our meals arrived just minutes after our drinks were served. Both plates were cold, which surprised the both of us. Anyway, we were hungry, so we started eating. The French fries were stale, tasted like refried, so we asked the server to get us some fresh ones. I tried the pulled pork, which was OK, had a nice smoke ring. But then we both cut into our ribs and they were both pink, bloody on the inside. We informed the server about this and were told that the pink is normal, that this is the smoke ring. I showed her the pulled pork and told her, that I understand you might have a small pink area on the outside where the meat is smoked, but not the entire rib is pink and bloody. So she took it back and the manager asked us what three problem was. We explained everything to him and he asked us if we wanted a new meal, however we decided to just leave. So, service and management was great; the food not so much. But, I would go back there again... One day...

I don't know if another review will help anyone but my two cents is : Nice location away from downtown in the hotel district of Mt. Pleasant. , there are a number of styles of BBQ sauce available on the entrees. My guest had BBQ brisket and ribs and both were excellent and fortunately for me, more than she could eat by herself. I had catfish and shrimp, which was also excellent. The fish was done perfectly inside a crispy cornmeal coat. The side dishes were a very nice cole slaw , baked beans and french fries, the spicy coated kind. A nice ambiance, and an attentive but subtle staff. Private parking lot. Easy to find. Prices are not too bad for the area.

Ashley K.
Wow! This place has the best service!!! We were pleasantly greeted when we walked in by the manager, Kim. Then we were seated in Ashley's section, good for us. Ashley was lively, eager and responsive. I can't say enough good things about our visit. She walked us thru the menu, made us feel at home and made suggestions. She learned it was my birthday and surprised me with a birthday dessert. We visited the same location the very next day and service was again impeccable. They remembered it was my bday and gave me a free tshirt. This place is unreal! We are visiting Charleston but this visit has assured we visit often during our stay.

Better location than downtown Charleston. Great restaurant and great bbq. They offer a mustard based bbq sauce and I ordered my ribs, smoked sausage, and pulled pork smothered with their classic (must based) bbq sauce and it was just perfect! The mac n' cheese was declicious! They have a kids bbq sandwich which is a great option and my daughter loved it. Excellent environment and the staff was very friendly. The manager came by to check on my table as well as everyone else's (and it was a slow Monday). Their sweet tea is on point and they were so nice to offer some to-go since we were traveling that day. Overall great place to eat, comfortable place to be at, and I will definitely going back while I'm in South Carolina. If you're down in Charleston on your way to Isle of Palms it's on the way just after the bridge. They do have a location downtown but it's very hard to find parking and unless you're actually going to be staying downtown and site-seeing I wouldn't recommend going downtown just for food.

I had not been to the My. P location in a while - I came away from dinner very disappointed. First the good - fast, friendly seating, very nice pre-dinner cocktails served rapidly with a smile. Now the bad - my ribs were burned. I asked for a half and half rack of Memphis Wet and Tennessee Whiskey - the whole rack was the same burned sauce - I really could not tell which one they used. On top of burned, the ribs were wimpy, no meat!!! For $21??, really??? Lunch sandwiches are pretty good, but I will skip the dinner menu next time!!

Robert A.
It's been a while since my visit here, so I'll try to sum up what I can remember. The food was very good. I'm not giving it five starts though, due to the fact that it's a chain restaurant and I prefer my BBQ from a local restaurant where the owner does everything to his/her own recipe rather than some random cook, following directions on paper. The athmosphere was nice. and the service was very friendly as well. Pricing isn't too bad either, considering that BBQ places usually are a little more pricey than your AppleBee's. Overall I'll be back!

There seems to be a management team at SF that expects a high level of customer service...there's a mature woman manager who always is solicitous of diners and her workers are reflective of her attention to detail...and then there seems to be a backup or secondary team who happened to be working when my family and I was there October 28. It clearly was an off night and our waitress was distracted by a large group. We ordered an appetizer...it arrived and we sat and sat and sat...while the waitress walked past us attending to table after table, but not ours. No refilled drinks, salads arriving with dinner orders from an expediter I suppose, not our waitress in any event; the whole tone was one of being bothered with our table. The manager on duty, a young man with a sleeve tattoo, spoke to several tables but walked repeatedly around or by ours. Finally, I went to the counter and just paid my bill...which he offered to comp but I insisted I pay...but no explanation was offered about what was the deal with our waitress whose name was Tanner, I think. Tip to owners and upper management at SF...insist all managers have the level of customer service of your mature female manager and ditch those who do not follow her lead.

Had sticky fingers cater our wedding at Boone Hall Plantation at the cotton dock. The food was great the service before, during and after the wedding was top notch. Sean helped me a ton with setting up extra coolers with ice for no extra charge...great food and great service is the key to this business and they definitely hit a home run!

Took the family to this location, now we have ate at the downtown location and it is 5 stars for me. This location was not that good. Almost had that fast food feel to it. I got the Memphis dry rub and it was dry dry dry. Even the dry rub is supposed to be juicy underneath. Our waitress placed toooo much emphasis on "Ya,ll " rather shouted it every chance she got. Just not a good atmosphere. Sorry will not be going back.

Great rib and BBQ. Must try that chocolate lava cake!!!! For a little bit more than ten bucks I got way much food for myself. The restaurant's environment is also warm and cozy, good for families. I got a take out and it was quite fast.

We were coming back from Isle of Palms and stopped here because we were hot and tired of walking from our hotel into downtown Charleston. It was soooo good, when I wasn't expecting it to be. From the huge drinks to the big tables, I loved it. We got the rib sampler, and it was divine. I went home and ordered all of the sauces for my family members. The salad was only meh, but this is a rib joint. I know its a chain, but its worth a stop. There were a lot of families. We were there early, which may have been the reason why. Don't overlook this spot, its is very good!

We were staying at a hotel nearby and this was on their list of restaurant suggestions. It was great! I had a rib/brisket/link combo platter and it was all good. Ribs were moist, tender and good smoke flavor. Links were just the right degree of spicy flavor. The brisket was also moist, flavorful and tender. I liked the sauce. My wife had a Smokehouse Club Salad with Pulled Chicken. She liked it. She reported that it was fresh, crispy and a good balance of veggies. She also said that the ingredients were not wet from washing so they did a good job of prep in the kitchen. And it was properly dressed - not swimming in Honey Mustard Dressing. I had quite a bit leftover so I asked for a carton. The server was really nice and we talked about this place and other good places across the river in Charleston. We were going to be around for another couple of days so we chatted and he gave us some recommendations. I asked him for more BBQ for my leftovers. To my amazement, he brought an unopened bottle of Memphis Original (a bit sweet/tangy) the same flavor I had chosen when I ordered my platter. That bottle was worth $3.99 and there was no charge for it. Now, that's what I call service. We liked the place. It had the typical Western motif and it was well lit, comfortable and clean. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality/quantity! What's not to like???!!! If we are ever in the area, again, we would go back! Jim

While I don't think that my family has ever sat down to eat here, we've grabbed take out a lot. An order of hushpuppies or ribs is perfect to add as a side or make the main part of a meal for a group out at the beach house. The food is reasonably priced and both the hushpuppies and barbeque are really good. They're good about giving an estimated time of having the food ready too.

Had not been back for to this location for awhile and am glad we came by. Restaurant was busy but were we seated very quickly. Server suggested we try the new catfish and shrimp and it was outstanding. We also had the rib and wing combo and they we're very good with a true smoky flavor. Ribs were falling right off the bone and wings we large and very fresh. The best part of the meal was the dessert. It was a home made bread pudding that was to die for.

we stayed at a hotel nearby and walked to the restaurant with my family, we had been given a VIP coupon for free peach cobbler which helped us decide to eat there but had forgot it at the hotel. so that was a plus, that it is was near several hotels. we have a sticky fingers here and knew it would probably be an alright place to eat. it was. the staff was friendly and the food was great. we ordered the sampler for two platter and my daughter ordered the half slap platter. needless to say none of us finished our meal, a whole lot to eat but we did take it with us. we ordered four sides of roasted corn, baked beans, broccoli casserole, and my favorite sweet potato casserole i would recommend the sweet potato casserole, i don't know if i got lucky and they just took it out of the oven or they keep it warm that way by omg it was like heaven. two thumbs up there. it does cost a little more since it was a specialty side dish but well worth it. the broccoli casserole which also costed more because of it being a specially side was pretty good to, but i had pretty much filled up on the sweet potato casserole. i will say this also we ordered the roasted corn on the cob, we have it here at our sticky fingers and i love it. i have no problem eating it but this sticky fingers buts a dry rub on theirs, so be very careful if you are watching you salt as i am because it was full of it, i was only able to take a couple of bites but still it was good. over all a good experience and would go back again.

Great service, but the food was mediocre at best. I guess Friday is kids night, because it was crazy in there. Despite the atmosphere, our waitress was terrific. The ribs were pretty good, but the sides were weak as was the pulled pork. I realized tonight why I have avoided this place for over two years.

Keith L.
One of the best pork ribs my wife and I have had..until we went to Wiley's Championship BBQ in Savannah. Get the pork ribs if you go. The pulled pork was pretty good also, very tender. They had about 6 different BBQ sauces but I liked the Carolina mustard based BBQ sauce the best. Sticky Fingers is pretty good for a chain and their sides were not bad. You do get a lot for your money here so we did enjoy ourselves. BTW - The owners are from TN I believe so it is not really Charleston BBQ.

David P.
Don't know how the locations can differ, but they do. The Mt. Pleasant place ribs were not as meaty and moist as the Charleston location. At least they had the same Carolina Classic sauce.

Feels very much like a chain. Average in almost every regard. Safe in the sense that is is average and you don't have to eat seafood if you eat here.

I am not from the South, nor am I an expert on Southern food. With that disclaimer...I really enjoy Sticky Fingers! The chicken wings are fantastic. Probably the best I've ever had. They're quite large and meaty. They come bare, and you can put any of their sauces on top. I especially enjoy the pulled chicken cobb salad, which is good quality for a 'non-salad' kind of restaurant. The sandwiches are also quite good. Never had the ribs, but I plan to try them at some point. I find the prices quite reasonable. Service has always been good.

Wow!! This place has excellent ribs. Try the rib sampler and don't look back. I have been buying the sauce at the grocery store for a while and didn't know it came from a restaurant. Convenient to several hotels in Mt. Pleasant.

Maria T.
Fantastic service and very friendly staff started this meal with a bang. I had the Carolina Sweet half rack with sweet potato fries and baked beans. The half rack was smoky, zesty, sweet and falling of the bones tender. The fries were perfectly salty and crispy and the baked beans were a savory compliment to the meal. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and even offered sodas to go at the completion of our meal. Wonderful and tasty experience!

Jason K.
Ehhhhhhh. I must have had a unique bad experience here, because I don't understand how this place could deserve four stars with all the good bbq places in South Carolina. I ordered a rack of ribs w/ mac 'n cheese and collard greens. I'll tell you, the sides were pretty legit, but the ribs were very dry - especially the ends - way overcooked. When you're paying $20+ for ribs, you expect fall on the bone flavor country. High dissapointed for ribs that tasted like they had been sitting out all day like you see at times in the supermarket.

My brother first brought me here to have "Real Charleston BBQ". Of course that's before I discovered Sticky Fingers is the "boxed wine" of Charleston BBQ. If you're really thirsty and really need a buzz, then take your chances. So if my friends said, "Hey let's all go to Sticky Fingers" and I couldn't convince them otherwise with persuasive speech or violence, I'd go and enjoy it okay. BBQ was a bit dry. They have several styles of Que, but their mustard-base (local to the area) was average-to-poor. I've tried Que all over the country and their renditions of the others were average-to-poor as well. Service was nice, prices are a on the high side in comparison to the "authentic" que joints in the Charleston metro that tend to go buffet-style. Check my lists for a running commentary on the best bbq in the Charleston area..

I have been going to Sticky Fingers for a number of years. I have always enjoyed the food. I frequently get the dry rub ribs which are almost always very good. Once in a while the food is not as good as usual or the service is spotty but most of the time you will get a really good meal.

Scott S.
Good ribs and chicken. As I've seen mentioned, this is not a place to have "authentic" Charleston BBQ. They offer a dry rub or wet sauce. I recommend the rib sampler with an ice cold beer. In my 3 or 4 trips there, the meat was very tender and fell of the bone. Just a little pricey in my opinion and service can be hit or miss. They also bottle their sauce for customer purchase. Worth a try but absolutely not a place for authentic Charleston BBQ.

qirk z.
Yum. Found out about this place after an internet search for good eats in the SC area. I was on business trip so I looked this place up. The 'Q was good, was sauce was good. The meat (pork rib) was a bit dry, the meat didn't fall off the bone.

We had a crazy experience at Sticky Fingers. First of all, if you don't like dining in a restaurant full of kids then don't go to Chuck E. Cheese's any time and don't go anywhere on Father's Day. Well it was Father's Day at Sticky Fingers and the place was a zoo. (Oh, if you want an actual food review just skip to the end.) We actually got seated pretty fast and got our drinks. And then that was it. Five minutes, then ten minutes, fifteen, maybe even twenty? (Actually it was a while ago so I'm probably just exaggerating.) No one was even near our section. Well finally we flagged down someone else's waitress and place our order. A very nice manager came by and brought us a free appetizer. That was great because we were hungry when we got there and by then we were starving. Of course we had already placed an order for different appetizer and some ribs. A few minutes later the manager shows up with the appetizer that we ordered. All of a sudden our long lost waitress appears... with a second helping of the appetizer that we ordered. Now things are just getting ridiculous, three appetizers may be two much for two people, just maybe. When we left they gave us a $15 gift certificate to smooth things over. We didn't think it was worth going back. Ok, food. The chicken wings were alright, not nearly as good as Wild Wing. The potato skins were pretty good and actually we filled up on these waiting for our ribs. It was a good thing too, the ribs were disappointing. Dry and not too meaty, the Carolina sweet sauce just barely saved them. Despite our experience we would have gone back if the food was good, but it wasn't even close to drawing us back in for another round. BBQ. I mean that their feature, I guess. Their Que is pretty good, I've had it plenty of times at catered events and it is tasty. But when you're looking for BBQ you may be better off with Melvin's or Whole Foods (both directly across the street), which do a pretty good job. I hear Mama Brown's is the place to go though, it's on my list.

Kathleen P.
Really, really good food. They have huge portions and their own line of barbacue sauces...which you might want to buy and bring home with you...they are really good too. They have ribs, chicken, steak, and they give you a towel for a napkin, because you get "Sticky Fingers." It's also decorated cool inside, which Blues pictures and art all around. Now I want to go...damn you for only being in SC.

Jim B.
Good service, cool vibe, super friendly staff Staff told us to have potato skins and sandwich aopetizer, both were good and we sampled all the sauce. Memphis and whiskey sauces were my favorite. Would've bought a sampler pack too if we weren't travelling.

Maria P.
I enjoyed the meals, and found that they were not bad. The service was horrendous, though, seeing that we waited for almost 15min for the server to take our drink orders. We then waited half an hour for our meals, one of which was a simple salad. I may consider coming again in order to give the place another chance.
(2)
Alec S.
Surprisingly I was disappointed with our dinner. The ribs were average, baked potato was burned and I have had better baked beans out of a can. I was not impressed but I should not have had high expectations from a chain rib joint. On a positive note ... The staff was friendly.

We walked here from our hotel and had a great dinner! The food was great and the service was outstanding. It was the first time that we've eaten at a Sticky Fingers but the sauce we've had before. We would go again!

BBQ at its finest! An all around amazing place with a huge menu to choose from! Great service and just all around a great experience! Be prepared to be in a food coma after!

Good service, cool vibe, super friendly staff Staff told us to have potato skins and sandwich aopetizer, both were good and we sampled all the sauce. Memphis and whiskey sauces were my favorite. Would've bought a sampler pack too if we weren't travelling.
(4)Maria P.
I enjoyed the meals, and found that they were not bad. The service was horrendous, though, seeing that we waited for almost 15min for the server to take our drink orders. We then waited half an hour for our meals, one of which was a simple salad. I may consider coming again in order to give the place another chance.
(2)Alec S.
Surprisingly I was disappointed with our dinner. The ribs were average, baked potato was burned and I have had better baked beans out of a can. I was not impressed but I should not have had high expectations from a chain rib joint. On a positive note ... The staff was friendly.

Southern Heat & Carolina Sweet were my award winning rib choices the moment my eyes caught its first glimpse of this beautiful BBQ menu. So lip smacking were the delictable ribs that only a few stick to your internal ribs, southern sides had the creamy texture to take on these unbelievable treats. The Mac n Cheese was particularly good and a fine combo for my rib choices. I'm not quite sure of the process that the ribs endore, pre saucing, but with locations in TN, SC, GA and FLA is say they know and have known how to serve up some Southern 'Que. There us a lunch sandwich special that I saw advertised, as a huge rack of ribs can be occasionally overkill for a midday meal. The decour had me so enthralled and caught up on the moment that I make a purchase of their sauce kit, even though I was traveling and had little use for the party pack. They're still in my pantry, 800+ miles removed.

I'm sorry Sticky Fingers, I feel very bad giving you 3 stars. Your staff is very friendly, and we did not have to wait long for our to-go order. I desperately wanted you to become our go-to takeout spot, but I am afraid this will not be the case. We ordered ribs, pulled chicken, fried pickles, mac and cheese, and green beans. The chicken was a bit dry, and I kept getting parts of tendon or cartilage that was inedible. My boyfriend enjoyed the ribs, said there was plenty of meat on them. The fried pickles were good. The breading left a little to be desired, but not bad. The mac and cheese was a bit lackluster. We are still on a quest to find the best mac and cheese in Charleston. Definitely isn't here. I hope next time we get to-go from Sticky Fingers, the quality has improved!

Review.... ?Please see photo.:) Prompt service and good food. Fresh tender ribs with a mildly generous portion of sides. A great idea for a Saturday afternoon meal.
(3)David N.
Not a bad dining experience. Stopped in for a quick lunch and service was good and food was tasty. Bbq is very moist and flavorful. Wife had salad and it was very fresh.
(4)Bill S.
Stopped by for dinner before the 4th of July fireworks. Had to wait about 30 minutes but they told me 45minutes. Service was very slow but they were very busy. BBQ nachos were amazing and so was the sweet tea. Ribs had good flavor but very dried out. Chicken was average. Sauces were very good. I think they were just overwelmed with the holiday rush. I will probably give them a try again.
(3)Chris S.
Let's face it, there's no better BBQ in Charleston than Melvin's. But, Sticky Fingers is a fair alternative. A chain, of course, this Sticky Finger is better than most. It's a great place for a family lunch or dinner and offers fair service with average BBQ. We tried the three meat platter and mixed all the meats between the two of us. They are all fair, but a little dry. Fortunately, there's plenty of different sauces to lather them up. The sides, however, don't taste homemade unfortunately. Still if your in the neighborhood for an affordable meal, that will likely come quick, and you aren't destined for The South's best BBQ, you'll do fine here.
(3)Tammy T.
I went here years ago and it was great but last night the ribs were over cooked and gristly. I ordered a half rack of Carolina Sweet and my husband ordered the sampler and it appeared as though the drenched it in sauce to cover up the dryness of the ribs. Also order the greens beans and sweet potato casserole, the green beans were nasty and the sweet potato casserole tasted like it came out of the school cafeteria. I will never go here again. And on the positive side the sweet tea was good.
(2)Diane C.
Really good for a chain. Good service and ribs were fabulous! I may even buy their barbecue sauce!
(4)Lois P.
Excellent food and service. This is a great place to visit with the family.
(5)Isabel J.
A taxi driver told me I had to come here during my visit to Charleston to have the fried corn. I couldn't pass on fried corn so I made my way here before going to the beach. I got to try a few items since I went with 5 other friends and here are my favs- sweet potato fries, wings and of course the fried corn. I had the ribs and they were good but nothing to brag about. Next time I'm in town I will make sure to come back for some fried corn.
(4)Jenna M.
Best ribs and fries you will ever have! Lava cake for dessert is delicious! (From the perspective of a 10 year old who loves this place!)
(5)Greg S.
Stopped by because I had a hankering for ribs after a long day hiking around in the steamy SC Lowcountry. Service was prompt and food was brought out in record time! Excellent quality. Have been here before and will return.
(4)Elvis P.
Delicious food attentive staff and very friendly. Smoked wings beat the ones back home at moes BBQ. Really enjoyed the different sauces and pulled pork. Definitely will go back next chance I get. Thanks

We had been on vacation in myrtle beach for A week & went to Sticky Fingers there....we decided to drive down to charleston & stay over night before going home to TN. The day we left (today) we stopped at Thus SF in Mt Pleasant. The food was just as good here, but portion sizes & the Size of my daughters chicken fingers were smaller, but was still enough to fill us up. I had the pulled pork, chicken fingers, slaw & Mac n cheese. I was not impressed with the slaw...the "dressing" was so watery, that there was an inch of it left in the serving cup...& it was like pure water. The Mac n cheese at SF is probably the best you can get out. The tenders were really good & so was the pulled pork, however my serving had a lot of fat in it...is say 1/4 of the serving was fat that I didn't eat (it's just gross if you do). My husband had turkey, brisket, fries okra & mashed potatoes w/ gravy. He said all of his was great. He was given mac n cheese when he ordered potatoes, but our waitress quickly got his potatoes...free side for the mix up. ;). His glass did empty & no refill until we asked...she really felt bad, so also brought him one to go. She was very nice though. Overall, it was good & we would go back.
(4)Bruce K.
I'm not sure how I ended up here, but it was after 9PM and I was hungry and their lights were on. Big-time chain food and those who know BBQ always look down their noses at chain restaurants for their 'cue. Hey, cut it out! It wasn't bad! It was A-OK, as the three stars go. There was a very good portion of sliced beef brisket on my plate with a decent serving of mashed potatoes and green beans. It wasn't awesome, it wasn't terrible. It was just... good.
(3)Victoria M.
Our waitress Reynolds was absolutely A -M-A-Z-I-N-G! The food was great too. We had the bbq nachos, which by the way we're some of the best I've ever had. And I had the brisket sandwich, I drizzled the Memphis big on it and it became bbq heaven. This place is worth the visit 100%.
(5)Gary D.
Very friendly staff and great food! I loved my rib sampler. Definitely the best way way to try all their sauces.
(5)Tom P.
Rubber ribs. Got the habanero hot, no heat at all and barely any sauce (which would've helped swallow a piece of that pathetic pork). Good service though.
(1)John F.
Good food, nice atmosphere which is a good thing...you will be looking at it waiting for menus, checks etc..
(3)Jacob H.
Everything was fantastic! My wife got the pulled chicken sandwhich/rib combo and I got the rib plate with the dry rub. The ribs fall off the bone and the rub and sauces are excellent. The sweet potato casserole is also very good.
(5)Allison B.
This place is great! The BBQ and the diversified are so yumm! They serve very fast and friendly with smiles. I will be back for the deicious food at this place!
(4)William F.
I don't know if another review will help anyone but my two cents is : Nice location away from downtown in the hotel district of Mt. Pleasant. , there are a number of styles of BBQ sauce available on the entrees. My guest had BBQ brisket and ribs and both were excellent and fortunately for me, more than she could eat by herself. I had catfish and shrimp, which was also excellent. The fish was done perfectly inside a crispy cornmeal coat. The side dishes were a very nice cole slaw , baked beans and french fries, the spicy coated kind. A nice ambiance, and an attentive but subtle staff. Private parking lot. Easy to find. Prices are not too bad for the area.
(4)Sandy S.
Sticky Fingers has the BEST WINGS ever...they also have so any other options... you will find the delish menu to satisfy ALL... they also have different bands which keeps the house jumpin' and they have a GREAT Happy Hour!!
(5)Ashley K.
Wow! This place has the best service!!! We were pleasantly greeted when we walked in by the manager, Kim. Then we were seated in Ashley's section, good for us. Ashley was lively, eager and responsive. I can't say enough good things about our visit. She walked us thru the menu, made us feel at home and made suggestions. She learned it was my birthday and surprised me with a birthday dessert. We visited the same location the very next day and service was again impeccable. They remembered it was my bday and gave me a free tshirt. This place is unreal! We are visiting Charleston but this visit has assured we visit often during our stay.
(5)Lyndsay L.
This place is amazing! One of the sauces is sold in our grocery stores (we are from NH) so when we realized this was the same company as the sauces, we definitely had to try it. Really glad we did. My husband and I shared the rib sampler for two and got baked beans, hush puppies, potato salad, and fried corn on the cob for our sides. The ribs completely fell off the bone and all the sauces were really good. Our waitress Ashleigh recommended the fried corn on the cob and definitely glad we tried it. It was amazing!! Ashleigh was probably one of the best waitresses we've had. Extremely nice and very helpful with recommendations. You will not be disappointed with this place.
(5)Kelly U.
Love, love Sticky Fingers! First tried them when I moved to Charleston, SC in 1995 and have enjoyed watching them grow and expand to many of my family's favorite cities in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Good food, comfortable decor, GREAT name, and all around fun place to eat. Give them a try.
(5)Brandon B.
Great service and BBQ! They had just introduced a new menu yesterday when we stopped by for lunch. We were quickly seated and served. Our food arrived in a great amount of time (I had pulled pork and fried okra and my wife just ordered chicken tenders). Everything was delicious and our server was attentive. No complaints here!
(5)Gretchen B.
This is a good solid restaurant for BBQ. We got a to go pack to take back to our condo. Everything was packed very nicely for the trip. Pulled pork, Mac & cheese, coleslaw and banana pudding all very good. We tried several different BBQ sauces and, of course, it will vary to each person which one they like best but each one that we tried was good. The to go pack was great way to feed our family!
(4)V D.
Got the BBQ sampler and it was amazing... The best part of the meal in the choice of all the BBQ sauces at your table... I just had to try them all. Will visit again.. Great food Great service.
(4)Andreas G.
Service was great, however the food was not. We ate at sticky fingers and had the food thru their catering before. So, we expected a great meal. I ordered the rib and pulled pork, my girl friend just had the ribs platter. Both our meals arrived just minutes after our drinks were served. Both plates were cold, which surprised the both of us. Anyway, we were hungry, so we started eating. The French fries were stale, tasted like refried, so we asked the server to get us some fresh ones. I tried the pulled pork, which was OK, had a nice smoke ring. But then we both cut into our ribs and they were both pink, bloody on the inside. We informed the server about this and were told that the pink is normal, that this is the smoke ring. I showed her the pulled pork and told her, that I understand you might have a small pink area on the outside where the meat is smoked, but not the entire rib is pink and bloody. So she took it back and the manager asked us what three problem was. We explained everything to him and he asked us if we wanted a new meal, however we decided to just leave. So, service and management was great; the food not so much. But, I would go back there again... One day...

Better location than downtown Charleston. Great restaurant and great bbq. They offer a mustard based bbq sauce and I ordered my ribs, smoked sausage, and pulled pork smothered with their classic (must based) bbq sauce and it was just perfect! The mac n' cheese was declicious! They have a kids bbq sandwich which is a great option and my daughter loved it. Excellent environment and the staff was very friendly. The manager came by to check on my table as well as everyone else's (and it was a slow Monday). Their sweet tea is on point and they were so nice to offer some to-go since we were traveling that day. Overall great place to eat, comfortable place to be at, and I will definitely going back while I'm in South Carolina. If you're down in Charleston on your way to Isle of Palms it's on the way just after the bridge. They do have a location downtown but it's very hard to find parking and unless you're actually going to be staying downtown and site-seeing I wouldn't recommend going downtown just for food.
(5)Robert A.
It's been a while since my visit here, so I'll try to sum up what I can remember. The food was very good. I'm not giving it five starts though, due to the fact that it's a chain restaurant and I prefer my BBQ from a local restaurant where the owner does everything to his/her own recipe rather than some random cook, following directions on paper. The athmosphere was nice. and the service was very friendly as well. Pricing isn't too bad either, considering that BBQ places usually are a little more pricey than your AppleBee's. Overall I'll be back!
(4)Tom D.
There seems to be a management team at SF that expects a high level of customer service...there's a mature woman manager who always is solicitous of diners and her workers are reflective of her attention to detail...and then there seems to be a backup or secondary team who happened to be working when my family and I was there October 28. It clearly was an off night and our waitress was distracted by a large group. We ordered an appetizer...it arrived and we sat and sat and sat...while the waitress walked past us attending to table after table, but not ours. No refilled drinks, salads arriving with dinner orders from an expediter I suppose, not our waitress in any event; the whole tone was one of being bothered with our table. The manager on duty, a young man with a sleeve tattoo, spoke to several tables but walked repeatedly around or by ours. Finally, I went to the counter and just paid my bill...which he offered to comp but I insisted I pay...but no explanation was offered about what was the deal with our waitress whose name was Tanner, I think. Tip to owners and upper management at SF...insist all managers have the level of customer service of your mature female manager and ditch those who do not follow her lead.
(1)Matt N.
Had sticky fingers cater our wedding at Boone Hall Plantation at the cotton dock. The food was great the service before, during and after the wedding was top notch. Sean helped me a ton with setting up extra coolers with ice for no extra charge...great food and great service is the key to this business and they definitely hit a home run!
(5)John S.
I had not been to the My. P location in a while - I came away from dinner very disappointed. First the good - fast, friendly seating, very nice pre-dinner cocktails served rapidly with a smile. Now the bad - my ribs were burned. I asked for a half and half rack of Memphis Wet and Tennessee Whiskey - the whole rack was the same burned sauce - I really could not tell which one they used. On top of burned, the ribs were wimpy, no meat!!! For $21??, really??? Lunch sandwiches are pretty good, but I will skip the dinner menu next time!!
(2)Daniel A.
Took the family to this location, now we have ate at the downtown location and it is 5 stars for me. This location was not that good. Almost had that fast food feel to it. I got the Memphis dry rub and it was dry dry dry. Even the dry rub is supposed to be juicy underneath. Our waitress placed toooo much emphasis on "Ya,ll " rather shouted it every chance she got. Just not a good atmosphere. Sorry will not be going back.
(2)Mandy S.
Great rib and BBQ. Must try that chocolate lava cake!!!! For a little bit more than ten bucks I got way much food for myself. The restaurant's environment is also warm and cozy, good for families. I got a take out and it was quite fast.
(5)James Q.
We were staying at a hotel nearby and this was on their list of restaurant suggestions. It was great! I had a rib/brisket/link combo platter and it was all good. Ribs were moist, tender and good smoke flavor. Links were just the right degree of spicy flavor. The brisket was also moist, flavorful and tender. I liked the sauce. My wife had a Smokehouse Club Salad with Pulled Chicken. She liked it. She reported that it was fresh, crispy and a good balance of veggies. She also said that the ingredients were not wet from washing so they did a good job of prep in the kitchen. And it was properly dressed - not swimming in Honey Mustard Dressing. I had quite a bit leftover so I asked for a carton. The server was really nice and we talked about this place and other good places across the river in Charleston. We were going to be around for another couple of days so we chatted and he gave us some recommendations. I asked him for more BBQ for my leftovers. To my amazement, he brought an unopened bottle of Memphis Original (a bit sweet/tangy) the same flavor I had chosen when I ordered my platter. That bottle was worth $3.99 and there was no charge for it. Now, that's what I call service. We liked the place. It had the typical Western motif and it was well lit, comfortable and clean. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality/quantity! What's not to like???!!! If we are ever in the area, again, we would go back! Jim

Great food! Always eat here when I come to town
(4)Charlotte V.
While I don't think that my family has ever sat down to eat here, we've grabbed take out a lot. An order of hushpuppies or ribs is perfect to add as a side or make the main part of a meal for a group out at the beach house. The food is reasonably priced and both the hushpuppies and barbeque are really good. They're good about giving an estimated time of having the food ready too.
(4)Sonja B.
Decent food. Decent service. It's no Salt Lick (Driftwood, Texas), but it's decent for the area . So the word of the day - decent. We'll probably go back when in the area.
(4)Sylvan F.
Had not been back for to this location for awhile and am glad we came by. Restaurant was busy but were we seated very quickly. Server suggested we try the new catfish and shrimp and it was outstanding. We also had the rib and wing combo and they we're very good with a true smoky flavor. Ribs were falling right off the bone and wings we large and very fresh. The best part of the meal was the dessert. It was a home made bread pudding that was to die for.
(5)Suzanne M.
We were coming back from Isle of Palms and stopped here because we were hot and tired of walking from our hotel into downtown Charleston. It was soooo good, when I wasn't expecting it to be. From the huge drinks to the big tables, I loved it. We got the rib sampler, and it was divine. I went home and ordered all of the sauces for my family members. The salad was only meh, but this is a rib joint. I know its a chain, but its worth a stop. There were a lot of families. We were there early, which may have been the reason why. Don't overlook this spot, its is very good!
(4)Teresa P.
we stayed at a hotel nearby and walked to the restaurant with my family, we had been given a VIP coupon for free peach cobbler which helped us decide to eat there but had forgot it at the hotel. so that was a plus, that it is was near several hotels. we have a sticky fingers here and knew it would probably be an alright place to eat. it was. the staff was friendly and the food was great. we ordered the sampler for two platter and my daughter ordered the half slap platter. needless to say none of us finished our meal, a whole lot to eat but we did take it with us. we ordered four sides of roasted corn, baked beans, broccoli casserole, and my favorite sweet potato casserole i would recommend the sweet potato casserole, i don't know if i got lucky and they just took it out of the oven or they keep it warm that way by omg it was like heaven. two thumbs up there. it does cost a little more since it was a specialty side dish but well worth it. the broccoli casserole which also costed more because of it being a specially side was pretty good to, but i had pretty much filled up on the sweet potato casserole. i will say this also we ordered the roasted corn on the cob, we have it here at our sticky fingers and i love it. i have no problem eating it but this sticky fingers buts a dry rub on theirs, so be very careful if you are watching you salt as i am because it was full of it, i was only able to take a couple of bites but still it was good. over all a good experience and would go back again.
(4)David R.
Great service, but the food was mediocre at best. I guess Friday is kids night, because it was crazy in there. Despite the atmosphere, our waitress was terrific. The ribs were pretty good, but the sides were weak as was the pulled pork. I realized tonight why I have avoided this place for over two years.
(2)Keith L.
One of the best pork ribs my wife and I have had..until we went to Wiley's Championship BBQ in Savannah. Get the pork ribs if you go. The pulled pork was pretty good also, very tender. They had about 6 different BBQ sauces but I liked the Carolina mustard based BBQ sauce the best. Sticky Fingers is pretty good for a chain and their sides were not bad. You do get a lot for your money here so we did enjoy ourselves. BTW - The owners are from TN I believe so it is not really Charleston BBQ.
(4)David P.
Don't know how the locations can differ, but they do. The Mt. Pleasant place ribs were not as meaty and moist as the Charleston location. At least they had the same Carolina Classic sauce.
(3)Dan A.
Feels very much like a chain. Average in almost every regard. Safe in the sense that is is average and you don't have to eat seafood if you eat here.
(3)kiki d.
I am not from the South, nor am I an expert on Southern food. With that disclaimer...I really enjoy Sticky Fingers! The chicken wings are fantastic. Probably the best I've ever had. They're quite large and meaty. They come bare, and you can put any of their sauces on top. I especially enjoy the pulled chicken cobb salad, which is good quality for a 'non-salad' kind of restaurant. The sandwiches are also quite good. Never had the ribs, but I plan to try them at some point. I find the prices quite reasonable. Service has always been good.
(4)Stephen T.
Wow!! This place has excellent ribs. Try the rib sampler and don't look back. I have been buying the sauce at the grocery store for a while and didn't know it came from a restaurant. Convenient to several hotels in Mt. Pleasant.
(5)Maria T.
Fantastic service and very friendly staff started this meal with a bang. I had the Carolina Sweet half rack with sweet potato fries and baked beans. The half rack was smoky, zesty, sweet and falling of the bones tender. The fries were perfectly salty and crispy and the baked beans were a savory compliment to the meal. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and even offered sodas to go at the completion of our meal. Wonderful and tasty experience!
(4)Jason K.
Ehhhhhhh. I must have had a unique bad experience here, because I don't understand how this place could deserve four stars with all the good bbq places in South Carolina. I ordered a rack of ribs w/ mac 'n cheese and collard greens. I'll tell you, the sides were pretty legit, but the ribs were very dry - especially the ends - way overcooked. When you're paying $20+ for ribs, you expect fall on the bone flavor country. High dissapointed for ribs that tasted like they had been sitting out all day like you see at times in the supermarket.
(2)Michael O.
It was alright. The sauces were ok. Bloody Mary was ok as well.
(3)Matthew L.
My brother first brought me here to have "Real Charleston BBQ". Of course that's before I discovered Sticky Fingers is the "boxed wine" of Charleston BBQ. If you're really thirsty and really need a buzz, then take your chances. So if my friends said, "Hey let's all go to Sticky Fingers" and I couldn't convince them otherwise with persuasive speech or violence, I'd go and enjoy it okay. BBQ was a bit dry. They have several styles of Que, but their mustard-base (local to the area) was average-to-poor. I've tried Que all over the country and their renditions of the others were average-to-poor as well. Service was nice, prices are a on the high side in comparison to the "authentic" que joints in the Charleston metro that tend to go buffet-style. Check my lists for a running commentary on the best bbq in the Charleston area..
(2)Kevin M.
Not as good as Jim n Nick's or Home Team. But no complaints, and my daughter liked the ribs better than those at Jim n Nick's.
(4)David M.
Really good food and big portions. Excellent friendly service. No food like this in Connecticut! The brocolli cheese caserole was a real treat.
(5)Joel C.
I have been going to Sticky Fingers for a number of years. I have always enjoyed the food. I frequently get the dry rub ribs which are almost always very good. Once in a while the food is not as good as usual or the service is spotty but most of the time you will get a really good meal.
(4)Scott S.
Good ribs and chicken. As I've seen mentioned, this is not a place to have "authentic" Charleston BBQ. They offer a dry rub or wet sauce. I recommend the rib sampler with an ice cold beer. In my 3 or 4 trips there, the meat was very tender and fell of the bone. Just a little pricey in my opinion and service can be hit or miss. They also bottle their sauce for customer purchase. Worth a try but absolutely not a place for authentic Charleston BBQ.
(4)qirk z.
Yum. Found out about this place after an internet search for good eats in the SC area. I was on business trip so I looked this place up. The 'Q was good, was sauce was good. The meat (pork rib) was a bit dry, the meat didn't fall off the bone.
(3)Tommy V.
We had a crazy experience at Sticky Fingers. First of all, if you don't like dining in a restaurant full of kids then don't go to Chuck E. Cheese's any time and don't go anywhere on Father's Day. Well it was Father's Day at Sticky Fingers and the place was a zoo. (Oh, if you want an actual food review just skip to the end.) We actually got seated pretty fast and got our drinks. And then that was it. Five minutes, then ten minutes, fifteen, maybe even twenty? (Actually it was a while ago so I'm probably just exaggerating.) No one was even near our section. Well finally we flagged down someone else's waitress and place our order. A very nice manager came by and brought us a free appetizer. That was great because we were hungry when we got there and by then we were starving. Of course we had already placed an order for different appetizer and some ribs. A few minutes later the manager shows up with the appetizer that we ordered. All of a sudden our long lost waitress appears... with a second helping of the appetizer that we ordered. Now things are just getting ridiculous, three appetizers may be two much for two people, just maybe. When we left they gave us a $15 gift certificate to smooth things over. We didn't think it was worth going back. Ok, food. The chicken wings were alright, not nearly as good as Wild Wing. The potato skins were pretty good and actually we filled up on these waiting for our ribs. It was a good thing too, the ribs were disappointing. Dry and not too meaty, the Carolina sweet sauce just barely saved them. Despite our experience we would have gone back if the food was good, but it wasn't even close to drawing us back in for another round. BBQ. I mean that their feature, I guess. Their Que is pretty good, I've had it plenty of times at catered events and it is tasty. But when you're looking for BBQ you may be better off with Melvin's or Whole Foods (both directly across the street), which do a pretty good job. I hear Mama Brown's is the place to go though, it's on my list.
(2)Kathleen P.
Really, really good food. They have huge portions and their own line of barbacue sauces...which you might want to buy and bring home with you...they are really good too. They have ribs, chicken, steak, and they give you a towel for a napkin, because you get "Sticky Fingers." It's also decorated cool inside, which Blues pictures and art all around. Now I want to go...damn you for only being in SC.
(5)Grecia P.
First day in Charleston we stopped in here for some BBQ. Must say the fried pickles were probably the best we had ever had... The batter was fantastic. The ribs were also good. We had the rib sampler which I think is a great idea because you get a little bit of everything. The sauces were pretty good too, except the whiskey one (unless you like whiskey) because it really truly did taste like whiskey! Lol
(4)Marivic L.
Great server/bartender named Maria. She's so peppy, friendly, efficient. We got the rib sampler which had 4 diff kinds of ribs, all of which were enormous and tasty. I liked trying all their sauces as well. And their sides were equally good. In order of my faves - greens, mac n cheese, baked beans, coleslaw. The watermelon drink I had was really good and so was my friend's margarita. We also tried the fried pickles as an app. Perfectly fried and tasty on its own - but dip it in the sauce and you'll be in love. Great place for a casual meal.
(4)Joe Y.
More than ribs Good overall as you would like to expect If you don't have the main focus items, Pleasant alternative are the chicken wings, which get put on the pit too Also surprised on fried pickels...best I've had
(5)Jennifer R.
We heard this place was good & we weren't disappointed. My son says, "these are the best ribs I've ever had!" The service was also very friendly & fast. I also am always looking for a place to go with the kids & this is very family friendly.

We had the rib sampler which I think is a great idea because you get a little bit of everything. The sauces were pretty good too, except the whiskey one (unless you like whiskey) because it really truly did taste like whiskey! Lol

Great server/bartender named Maria. She's so peppy, friendly, efficient. We got the rib sampler which had 4 diff kinds of ribs, all of which were enormous and tasty. I liked trying all their sauces as well. And their sides were equally good. In order of my faves - greens, mac n cheese, baked beans, coleslaw. The watermelon drink I had was really good and so was my friend's margarita. We also tried the fried pickles as an app. Perfectly fried and tasty on its own - but dip it in the sauce and you'll be in love. Great place for a casual meal.

More than ribs Good overall as you would like to expect If you don't have the main focus items, Pleasant alternative are the chicken wings, which get put on the pit too Also surprised on fried pickels...best I've had
(5)Jennifer R.
We heard this place was good & we weren't disappointed. My son says, "these are the best ribs I've ever had!" The service was also very friendly & fast. I also am always looking for a place to go with the kids & this is very family friendly.

Southern Heat & Carolina Sweet were my award winning rib choices the moment my eyes caught its first glimpse of this beautiful BBQ menu. So lip smacking were the delictable ribs that only a few stick to your internal ribs, southern sides had the creamy texture to take on these unbelievable treats. The Mac n Cheese was particularly good and a fine combo for my rib choices. I'm not quite sure of the process that the ribs endore, pre saucing, but with locations in TN, SC, GA and FLA is say they know and have known how to serve up some Southern 'Que. There us a lunch sandwich special that I saw advertised, as a huge rack of ribs can be occasionally overkill for a midday meal. The decour had me so enthralled and caught up on the moment that I make a purchase of their sauce kit, even though I was traveling and had little use for the party pack. They're still in my pantry, 800+ miles removed.

I'm sorry Sticky Fingers, I feel very bad giving you 3 stars. Your staff is very friendly, and we did not have to wait long for our to-go order. I desperately wanted you to become our go-to takeout spot, but I am afraid this will not be the case. We ordered ribs, pulled chicken, fried pickles, mac and cheese, and green beans. The chicken was a bit dry, and I kept getting parts of tendon or cartilage that was inedible. My boyfriend enjoyed the ribs, said there was plenty of meat on them. The fried pickles were good. The breading left a little to be desired, but not bad. The mac and cheese was a bit lackluster. We are still on a quest to find the best mac and cheese in Charleston. Definitely isn't here. I hope next time we get to-go from Sticky Fingers, the quality has improved!

Review.... ?Please see photo.:) Prompt service and good food. Fresh tender ribs with a mildly generous portion of sides. A great idea for a Saturday afternoon meal.
(3)David N.
Not a bad dining experience. Stopped in for a quick lunch and service was good and food was tasty. Bbq is very moist and flavorful. Wife had salad and it was very fresh.
(4)Bill S.
Stopped by for dinner before the 4th of July fireworks. Had to wait about 30 minutes but they told me 45minutes. Service was very slow but they were very busy. BBQ nachos were amazing and so was the sweet tea. Ribs had good flavor but very dried out. Chicken was average. Sauces were very good. I think they were just overwelmed with the holiday rush. I will probably give them a try again.

Let's face it, there's no better BBQ in Charleston than Melvin's. But, Sticky Fingers is a fair alternative. A chain, of course, this Sticky Finger is better than most. It's a great place for a family lunch or dinner and offers fair service with average BBQ. We tried the three meat platter and mixed all the meats between the two of us. They are all fair, but a little dry. Fortunately, there's plenty of different sauces to lather them up. The sides, however, don't taste homemade unfortunately. Still if your in the neighborhood for an affordable meal, that will likely come quick, and you aren't destined for The South's best BBQ, you'll do fine here.

We walked here from our hotel and had a great dinner! The food was great and the service was outstanding. It was the first time that we've eaten at a Sticky Fingers but the sauce we've had before. We would go again!
(5)Mel R.
BBQ at its finest! An all around amazing place with a huge menu to choose from! Great service and just all around a great experience! Be prepared to be in a food coma after!
(5)Tammy T.
I went here years ago and it was great but last night the ribs were over cooked and gristly. I ordered a half rack of Carolina Sweet and my husband ordered the sampler and it appeared as though the drenched it in sauce to cover up the dryness of the ribs. Also order the greens beans and sweet potato casserole, the green beans were nasty and the sweet potato casserole tasted like it came out of the school cafeteria. I will never go here again. And on the positive side the sweet tea was good.
(2)Diane C.
Really good for a chain. Good service and ribs were fabulous! I may even buy their barbecue sauce!
(4)Lois P.
Excellent food and service. This is a great place to visit with the family.
(5)Isabel J.
A taxi driver told me I had to come here during my visit to Charleston to have the fried corn. I couldn't pass on fried corn so I made my way here before going to the beach. I got to try a few items since I went with 5 other friends and here are my favs- sweet potato fries, wings and of course the fried corn. I had the ribs and they were good but nothing to brag about. Next time I'm in town I will make sure to come back for some fried corn.
(4)Jenna M.
Best ribs and fries you will ever have! Lava cake for dessert is delicious! (From the perspective of a 10 year old who loves this place!)
(5)Greg S.
Stopped by because I had a hankering for ribs after a long day hiking around in the steamy SC Lowcountry. Service was prompt and food was brought out in record time! Excellent quality. Have been here before and will return.
(4)Elvis P.
Delicious food attentive staff and very friendly. Smoked wings beat the ones back home at moes BBQ. Really enjoyed the different sauces and pulled pork. Definitely will go back next chance I get. Thanks

We had been on vacation in myrtle beach for A week & went to Sticky Fingers there....we decided to drive down to charleston & stay over night before going home to TN. The day we left (today) we stopped at Thus SF in Mt Pleasant. The food was just as good here, but portion sizes & the Size of my daughters chicken fingers were smaller, but was still enough to fill us up. I had the pulled pork, chicken fingers, slaw & Mac n cheese. I was not impressed with the slaw...the "dressing" was so watery, that there was an inch of it left in the serving cup...& it was like pure water. The Mac n cheese at SF is probably the best you can get out. The tenders were really good & so was the pulled pork, however my serving had a lot of fat in it...is say 1/4 of the serving was fat that I didn't eat (it's just gross if you do). My husband had turkey, brisket, fries okra & mashed potatoes w/ gravy. He said all of his was great. He was given mac n cheese when he ordered potatoes, but our waitress quickly got his potatoes...free side for the mix up. ;). His glass did empty & no refill until we asked...she really felt bad, so also brought him one to go. She was very nice though. Overall, it was good & we would go back.

I'm not sure how I ended up here, but it was after 9PM and I was hungry and their lights were on. Big-time chain food and those who know BBQ always look down their noses at chain restaurants for their 'cue. Hey, cut it out! It wasn't bad! It was A-OK, as the three stars go. There was a very good portion of sliced beef brisket on my plate with a decent serving of mashed potatoes and green beans. It wasn't awesome, it wasn't terrible. It was just... good.
(3)Victoria M.
Our waitress Reynolds was absolutely A -M-A-Z-I-N-G! The food was great too. We had the bbq nachos, which by the way we're some of the best I've ever had. And I had the brisket sandwich, I drizzled the Memphis big on it and it became bbq heaven. This place is worth the visit 100%.
(5)Gary D.
Very friendly staff and great food! I loved my rib sampler. Definitely the best way way to try all their sauces.
(5)Tom P.
Rubber ribs. Got the habanero hot, no heat at all and barely any sauce (which would've helped swallow a piece of that pathetic pork). Good service though.
(1)John F.
Good food, nice atmosphere which is a good thing...you will be looking at it waiting for menus, checks etc..
(3)Jacob H.
Everything was fantastic! My wife got the pulled chicken sandwhich/rib combo and I got the rib plate with the dry rub. The ribs fall off the bone and the rub and sauces are excellent. The sweet potato casserole is also very good.
(5)Allison B.
This place is great! The BBQ and the diversified are so yumm! They serve very fast and friendly with smiles. I will be back for the deicious food at this place!
(4)Lyndsay L.
This place is amazing! One of the sauces is sold in our grocery stores (we are from NH) so when we realized this was the same company as the sauces, we definitely had to try it. Really glad we did. My husband and I shared the rib sampler for two and got baked beans, hush puppies, potato salad, and fried corn on the cob for our sides. The ribs completely fell off the bone and all the sauces were really good. Our waitress Ashleigh recommended the fried corn on the cob and definitely glad we tried it. It was amazing!! Ashleigh was probably one of the best waitresses we've had. Extremely nice and very helpful with recommendations. You will not be disappointed with this place.
(5)Kelly U.
Love, love Sticky Fingers! First tried them when I moved to Charleston, SC in 1995 and have enjoyed watching them grow and expand to many of my family's favorite cities in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Good food, comfortable decor, GREAT name, and all around fun place to eat. Give them a try.
(5)Brandon B.
Great service and BBQ! They had just introduced a new menu yesterday when we stopped by for lunch. We were quickly seated and served. Our food arrived in a great amount of time (I had pulled pork and fried okra and my wife just ordered chicken tenders). Everything was delicious and our server was attentive. No complaints here!
(5)Gretchen B.
This is a good solid restaurant for BBQ. We got a to go pack to take back to our condo. Everything was packed very nicely for the trip. Pulled pork, Mac & cheese, coleslaw and banana pudding all very good. We tried several different BBQ sauces and, of course, it will vary to each person which one they like best but each one that we tried was good. The to go pack was great way to feed our family!
(4)V D.
Got the BBQ sampler and it was amazing... The best part of the meal in the choice of all the BBQ sauces at your table... I just had to try them all. Will visit again.. Great food Great service.
(4)Andreas G.
Service was great, however the food was not. We ate at sticky fingers and had the food thru their catering before. So, we expected a great meal. I ordered the rib and pulled pork, my girl friend just had the ribs platter. Both our meals arrived just minutes after our drinks were served. Both plates were cold, which surprised the both of us. Anyway, we were hungry, so we started eating. The French fries were stale, tasted like refried, so we asked the server to get us some fresh ones. I tried the pulled pork, which was OK, had a nice smoke ring. But then we both cut into our ribs and they were both pink, bloody on the inside. We informed the server about this and were told that the pink is normal, that this is the smoke ring. I showed her the pulled pork and told her, that I understand you might have a small pink area on the outside where the meat is smoked, but not the entire rib is pink and bloody. So she took it back and the manager asked us what three problem was. We explained everything to him and he asked us if we wanted a new meal, however we decided to just leave. So, service and management was great; the food not so much. But, I would go back there again... One day...
(2)Sandy S.
Sticky Fingers has the BEST WINGS ever...they also have so any other options... you will find the delish menu to satisfy ALL... they also have different bands which keeps the house jumpin' and they have a GREAT Happy Hour!!
(5)William F.
I don't know if another review will help anyone but my two cents is : Nice location away from downtown in the hotel district of Mt. Pleasant. , there are a number of styles of BBQ sauce available on the entrees. My guest had BBQ brisket and ribs and both were excellent and fortunately for me, more than she could eat by herself. I had catfish and shrimp, which was also excellent. The fish was done perfectly inside a crispy cornmeal coat. The side dishes were a very nice cole slaw , baked beans and french fries, the spicy coated kind. A nice ambiance, and an attentive but subtle staff. Private parking lot. Easy to find. Prices are not too bad for the area.
(4)Ashley K.
Wow! This place has the best service!!! We were pleasantly greeted when we walked in by the manager, Kim. Then we were seated in Ashley's section, good for us. Ashley was lively, eager and responsive. I can't say enough good things about our visit. She walked us thru the menu, made us feel at home and made suggestions. She learned it was my birthday and surprised me with a birthday dessert. We visited the same location the very next day and service was again impeccable. They remembered it was my bday and gave me a free tshirt. This place is unreal! We are visiting Charleston but this visit has assured we visit often during our stay.
(5)Bruno S.
Better location than downtown Charleston. Great restaurant and great bbq. They offer a mustard based bbq sauce and I ordered my ribs, smoked sausage, and pulled pork smothered with their classic (must based) bbq sauce and it was just perfect! The mac n' cheese was declicious! They have a kids bbq sandwich which is a great option and my daughter loved it. Excellent environment and the staff was very friendly. The manager came by to check on my table as well as everyone else's (and it was a slow Monday). Their sweet tea is on point and they were so nice to offer some to-go since we were traveling that day. Overall great place to eat, comfortable place to be at, and I will definitely going back while I'm in South Carolina. If you're down in Charleston on your way to Isle of Palms it's on the way just after the bridge. They do have a location downtown but it's very hard to find parking and unless you're actually going to be staying downtown and site-seeing I wouldn't recommend going downtown just for food.
(5)John S.
I had not been to the My. P location in a while - I came away from dinner very disappointed. First the good - fast, friendly seating, very nice pre-dinner cocktails served rapidly with a smile. Now the bad - my ribs were burned. I asked for a half and half rack of Memphis Wet and Tennessee Whiskey - the whole rack was the same burned sauce - I really could not tell which one they used. On top of burned, the ribs were wimpy, no meat!!! For $21??, really??? Lunch sandwiches are pretty good, but I will skip the dinner menu next time!!
(2)Robert A.
It's been a while since my visit here, so I'll try to sum up what I can remember. The food was very good. I'm not giving it five starts though, due to the fact that it's a chain restaurant and I prefer my BBQ from a local restaurant where the owner does everything to his/her own recipe rather than some random cook, following directions on paper. The athmosphere was nice. and the service was very friendly as well. Pricing isn't too bad either, considering that BBQ places usually are a little more pricey than your AppleBee's. Overall I'll be back!
(4)Tom D.
There seems to be a management team at SF that expects a high level of customer service...there's a mature woman manager who always is solicitous of diners and her workers are reflective of her attention to detail...and then there seems to be a backup or secondary team who happened to be working when my family and I was there October 28. It clearly was an off night and our waitress was distracted by a large group. We ordered an appetizer...it arrived and we sat and sat and sat...while the waitress walked past us attending to table after table, but not ours. No refilled drinks, salads arriving with dinner orders from an expediter I suppose, not our waitress in any event; the whole tone was one of being bothered with our table. The manager on duty, a young man with a sleeve tattoo, spoke to several tables but walked repeatedly around or by ours. Finally, I went to the counter and just paid my bill...which he offered to comp but I insisted I pay...but no explanation was offered about what was the deal with our waitress whose name was Tanner, I think. Tip to owners and upper management at SF...insist all managers have the level of customer service of your mature female manager and ditch those who do not follow her lead.
(1)Matt N.
Had sticky fingers cater our wedding at Boone Hall Plantation at the cotton dock. The food was great the service before, during and after the wedding was top notch. Sean helped me a ton with setting up extra coolers with ice for no extra charge...great food and great service is the key to this business and they definitely hit a home run!
(5)Daniel A.
Took the family to this location, now we have ate at the downtown location and it is 5 stars for me. This location was not that good. Almost had that fast food feel to it. I got the Memphis dry rub and it was dry dry dry. Even the dry rub is supposed to be juicy underneath. Our waitress placed toooo much emphasis on "Ya,ll " rather shouted it every chance she got. Just not a good atmosphere. Sorry will not be going back.
(2)Mandy S.
Great rib and BBQ. Must try that chocolate lava cake!!!! For a little bit more than ten bucks I got way much food for myself. The restaurant's environment is also warm and cozy, good for families. I got a take out and it was quite fast.
(5)Suzanne M.
We were coming back from Isle of Palms and stopped here because we were hot and tired of walking from our hotel into downtown Charleston. It was soooo good, when I wasn't expecting it to be. From the huge drinks to the big tables, I loved it. We got the rib sampler, and it was divine. I went home and ordered all of the sauces for my family members. The salad was only meh, but this is a rib joint. I know its a chain, but its worth a stop. There were a lot of families. We were there early, which may have been the reason why. Don't overlook this spot, its is very good!
(4)James Q.
We were staying at a hotel nearby and this was on their list of restaurant suggestions. It was great! I had a rib/brisket/link combo platter and it was all good. Ribs were moist, tender and good smoke flavor. Links were just the right degree of spicy flavor. The brisket was also moist, flavorful and tender. I liked the sauce. My wife had a Smokehouse Club Salad with Pulled Chicken. She liked it. She reported that it was fresh, crispy and a good balance of veggies. She also said that the ingredients were not wet from washing so they did a good job of prep in the kitchen. And it was properly dressed - not swimming in Honey Mustard Dressing. I had quite a bit leftover so I asked for a carton. The server was really nice and we talked about this place and other good places across the river in Charleston. We were going to be around for another couple of days so we chatted and he gave us some recommendations. I asked him for more BBQ for my leftovers. To my amazement, he brought an unopened bottle of Memphis Original (a bit sweet/tangy) the same flavor I had chosen when I ordered my platter. That bottle was worth $3.99 and there was no charge for it. Now, that's what I call service. We liked the place. It had the typical Western motif and it was well lit, comfortable and clean. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality/quantity! What's not to like???!!! If we are ever in the area, again, we would go back! Jim

Great food! Always eat here when I come to town
(4)Charlotte V.
While I don't think that my family has ever sat down to eat here, we've grabbed take out a lot. An order of hushpuppies or ribs is perfect to add as a side or make the main part of a meal for a group out at the beach house. The food is reasonably priced and both the hushpuppies and barbeque are really good. They're good about giving an estimated time of having the food ready too.
(4)Sonja B.
Decent food. Decent service. It's no Salt Lick (Driftwood, Texas), but it's decent for the area . So the word of the day - decent. We'll probably go back when in the area.
(4)Sylvan F.
Had not been back for to this location for awhile and am glad we came by. Restaurant was busy but were we seated very quickly. Server suggested we try the new catfish and shrimp and it was outstanding. We also had the rib and wing combo and they we're very good with a true smoky flavor. Ribs were falling right off the bone and wings we large and very fresh. The best part of the meal was the dessert. It was a home made bread pudding that was to die for.
(5)Teresa P.
we stayed at a hotel nearby and walked to the restaurant with my family, we had been given a VIP coupon for free peach cobbler which helped us decide to eat there but had forgot it at the hotel. so that was a plus, that it is was near several hotels. we have a sticky fingers here and knew it would probably be an alright place to eat. it was. the staff was friendly and the food was great. we ordered the sampler for two platter and my daughter ordered the half slap platter. needless to say none of us finished our meal, a whole lot to eat but we did take it with us. we ordered four sides of roasted corn, baked beans, broccoli casserole, and my favorite sweet potato casserole i would recommend the sweet potato casserole, i don't know if i got lucky and they just took it out of the oven or they keep it warm that way by omg it was like heaven. two thumbs up there. it does cost a little more since it was a specialty side dish but well worth it. the broccoli casserole which also costed more because of it being a specially side was pretty good to, but i had pretty much filled up on the sweet potato casserole. i will say this also we ordered the roasted corn on the cob, we have it here at our sticky fingers and i love it. i have no problem eating it but this sticky fingers buts a dry rub on theirs, so be very careful if you are watching you salt as i am because it was full of it, i was only able to take a couple of bites but still it was good. over all a good experience and would go back again.
(4)David R.
Great service, but the food was mediocre at best. I guess Friday is kids night, because it was crazy in there. Despite the atmosphere, our waitress was terrific. The ribs were pretty good, but the sides were weak as was the pulled pork. I realized tonight why I have avoided this place for over two years.
(2)Keith L.
One of the best pork ribs my wife and I have had..until we went to Wiley's Championship BBQ in Savannah. Get the pork ribs if you go. The pulled pork was pretty good also, very tender. They had about 6 different BBQ sauces but I liked the Carolina mustard based BBQ sauce the best. Sticky Fingers is pretty good for a chain and their sides were not bad. You do get a lot for your money here so we did enjoy ourselves. BTW - The owners are from TN I believe so it is not really Charleston BBQ.
(4)David P.
Don't know how the locations can differ, but they do. The Mt. Pleasant place ribs were not as meaty and moist as the Charleston location. At least they had the same Carolina Classic sauce.
(3)Dan A.
Feels very much like a chain. Average in almost every regard. Safe in the sense that is is average and you don't have to eat seafood if you eat here.
(3)kiki d.
I am not from the South, nor am I an expert on Southern food. With that disclaimer...I really enjoy Sticky Fingers! The chicken wings are fantastic. Probably the best I've ever had. They're quite large and meaty. They come bare, and you can put any of their sauces on top. I especially enjoy the pulled chicken cobb salad, which is good quality for a 'non-salad' kind of restaurant. The sandwiches are also quite good. Never had the ribs, but I plan to try them at some point. I find the prices quite reasonable. Service has always been good.
(4)Stephen T.
Wow!! This place has excellent ribs. Try the rib sampler and don't look back. I have been buying the sauce at the grocery store for a while and didn't know it came from a restaurant. Convenient to several hotels in Mt. Pleasant.
(5)Maria T.
Fantastic service and very friendly staff started this meal with a bang. I had the Carolina Sweet half rack with sweet potato fries and baked beans. The half rack was smoky, zesty, sweet and falling of the bones tender. The fries were perfectly salty and crispy and the baked beans were a savory compliment to the meal. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and even offered sodas to go at the completion of our meal. Wonderful and tasty experience!
(4)Jason K.
Ehhhhhhh. I must have had a unique bad experience here, because I don't understand how this place could deserve four stars with all the good bbq places in South Carolina. I ordered a rack of ribs w/ mac 'n cheese and collard greens. I'll tell you, the sides were pretty legit, but the ribs were very dry - especially the ends - way overcooked. When you're paying $20+ for ribs, you expect fall on the bone flavor country. High dissapointed for ribs that tasted like they had been sitting out all day like you see at times in the supermarket.
(2)Michael O.
It was alright. The sauces were ok. Bloody Mary was ok as well.
(3)Matthew L.
My brother first brought me here to have "Real Charleston BBQ". Of course that's before I discovered Sticky Fingers is the "boxed wine" of Charleston BBQ. If you're really thirsty and really need a buzz, then take your chances. So if my friends said, "Hey let's all go to Sticky Fingers" and I couldn't convince them otherwise with persuasive speech or violence, I'd go and enjoy it okay. BBQ was a bit dry. They have several styles of Que, but their mustard-base (local to the area) was average-to-poor. I've tried Que all over the country and their renditions of the others were average-to-poor as well. Service was nice, prices are a on the high side in comparison to the "authentic" que joints in the Charleston metro that tend to go buffet-style. Check my lists for a running commentary on the best bbq in the Charleston area..
(2)Kevin M.
Not as good as Jim n Nick's or Home Team. But no complaints, and my daughter liked the ribs better than those at Jim n Nick's.
(4)David M.
Really good food and big portions. Excellent friendly service. No food like this in Connecticut! The brocolli cheese caserole was a real treat.
(5)Joel C.
I have been going to Sticky Fingers for a number of years. I have always enjoyed the food. I frequently get the dry rub ribs which are almost always very good. Once in a while the food is not as good as usual or the service is spotty but most of the time you will get a really good meal.
(4)Scott S.
Good ribs and chicken. As I've seen mentioned, this is not a place to have "authentic" Charleston BBQ. They offer a dry rub or wet sauce. I recommend the rib sampler with an ice cold beer. In my 3 or 4 trips there, the meat was very tender and fell of the bone. Just a little pricey in my opinion and service can be hit or miss. They also bottle their sauce for customer purchase. Worth a try but absolutely not a place for authentic Charleston BBQ.
(4)qirk z.
Yum. Found out about this place after an internet search for good eats in the SC area. I was on business trip so I looked this place up. The 'Q was good, was sauce was good. The meat (pork rib) was a bit dry, the meat didn't fall off the bone.
(3)Tommy V.
We had a crazy experience at Sticky Fingers. First of all, if you don't like dining in a restaurant full of kids then don't go to Chuck E. Cheese's any time and don't go anywhere on Father's Day. Well it was Father's Day at Sticky Fingers and the place was a zoo. (Oh, if you want an actual food review just skip to the end.) We actually got seated pretty fast and got our drinks. And then that was it. Five minutes, then ten minutes, fifteen, maybe even twenty? (Actually it was a while ago so I'm probably just exaggerating.) No one was even near our section. Well finally we flagged down someone else's waitress and place our order. A very nice manager came by and brought us a free appetizer. That was great because we were hungry when we got there and by then we were starving. Of course we had already placed an order for different appetizer and some ribs. A few minutes later the manager shows up with the appetizer that we ordered. All of a sudden our long lost waitress appears... with a second helping of the appetizer that we ordered. Now things are just getting ridiculous, three appetizers may be two much for two people, just maybe. When we left they gave us a $15 gift certificate to smooth things over. We didn't think it was worth going back. Ok, food. The chicken wings were alright, not nearly as good as Wild Wing. The potato skins were pretty good and actually we filled up on these waiting for our ribs. It was a good thing too, the ribs were disappointing. Dry and not too meaty, the Carolina sweet sauce just barely saved them. Despite our experience we would have gone back if the food was good, but it wasn't even close to drawing us back in for another round. BBQ. I mean that their feature, I guess. Their Que is pretty good, I've had it plenty of times at catered events and it is tasty. But when you're looking for BBQ you may be better off with Melvin's or Whole Foods (both directly across the street), which do a pretty good job. I hear Mama Brown's is the place to go though, it's on my list.
(2)Kathleen P.
Really, really good food. They have huge portions and their own line of barbacue sauces...which you might want to buy and bring home with you...they are really good too. They have ribs, chicken, steak, and they give you a towel for a napkin, because you get "Sticky Fingers." It's also decorated cool inside, which Blues pictures and art all around. Now I want to go...damn you for only being in SC.
(5)Jim B.
Good service, cool vibe, super friendly staff Staff told us to have potato skins and sandwich aopetizer, both were good and we sampled all the sauce. Memphis and whiskey sauces were my favorite. Would've bought a sampler pack too if we weren't travelling.
(4)Maria P.
I enjoyed the meals, and found that they were not bad. The service was horrendous, though, seeing that we waited for almost 15min for the server to take our drink orders. We then waited half an hour for our meals, one of which was a simple salad. I may consider coming again in order to give the place another chance.
(2)Alec S.
Surprisingly I was disappointed with our dinner. The ribs were average, baked potato was burned and I have had better baked beans out of a can. I was not impressed but I should not have had high expectations from a chain rib joint. On a positive note ... The staff was friendly.
(2)
