Heavy’s Barburger is an institution that is well-known throughout Charleston. The dining room is always packed. And when the weather is nice, the patio is full, too.

Margaritas are prevalent on the menu, though you’ll also find zero-proof cocktails to enjoy. With so many options from the kitchen and the bar, it’s no wonder why this place is always busy.
