Nigel's Good Food - North Charleston

I’m hoping this review makes some think twice or ask questions before sitting down at Nigel’s on a Monday. We stopped by for lunch last Monday. We were greeted and seated right away, given a menu and our drink orders taken right out the gate. When drink were delivered and we looked through the menu the waitress informed us that Nigel’s was out of some items. Those items included pretty much ever side dish on the menu. Mashed potatoes, potato salad, Mac cheese, yams, Lima beans, stewed chicken, cornbread and cobbler. I’m thinking why would you even be open or why not have a sign on the door, why seat us start to serve us and then basically tell us you have only French fries, rice, and grits before you locked us in and started delivering services? My husband orders pasta and I went with a hamburger steak and white rice with gravy. My food came out and the patty was kinda loose or breaking apart when it was plated, about a quarter of the way in the inside of the patty was RAW. I call the waitress over she removed the plate immediately when she came back the kitchen decided that in place of my hamburger steak that had peppers and onions mixed in they would give me a regular kids size hamburger patty and then put a few onions on top of it. Needless to say I was offended. I left the plate untouched and asked for the check. The waitress asked what was wrong and asked if I was unpleased because the kitchen manager gave me a small hamburger in place of what I ordered. I expressed all of my concerns even about being bait and switched from the time we walked in. The waitress said Mondays are rough because they don’t have people to prep after being off on Sundays and they have a truck delivery on Mondays so they are often out of stock on Mondays. I won’t be back waitress was great, everything else about Nigel’s makes me wish we had spent our money with a business that is prepared and professional. This is an example why so many don’t keep dollars in our own community.

It was pretty good. I had the whiting and they really give you a nice piece of fish. One of my friends had the chicken fried steak and she said it was very good but the potatoes were very thick when she put her fork in it. It almost crumbled like cornbread. Other than that the food was good. We did taste the wings which I liked. They remind me of KFC's honey barbecue wings which I loved place was very crowded. They do a good business. Only thing is they're not Open on Sundays and their meals just seems like a nice Sunday meal

Nigel's Good Food has great food I'd say! This black owned restaurant gets my “food for the soul stamp of approval! When I am in Charleston SC visiting, this will be a spot I'll be sure to have to visit! -The fried shrimp and fish were cooked to perfection with great flavor. -Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes were on point! -Gumbo had very good flavor, plenty of seafood/sausage/chicken/veggies -Hush Puppies were moist and seasonsed well -The service was great and the staff was very friendly. There is good seating and a nice bar as well. Dine in and carry out as an option. Photos Complimentary of the Google Pixel 6 Pro

OMG!!!!! I have been in Charleston the past couple days from Raleigh, NC and every restaurant stop I’ve made has been better and better!! THIS food…….I can’t put it in words articulately, but I WILL say that everything was top notch. I had fried pork chops, red rice, macaroni cheese, and the fried cabbage with cornbread the CORNBREAD!!!! It’s some of THE best cornbread I have tasted buttery and sweet. It must be a standard to give more than enough in Charleston because once again, I received way more than I could eat in one sitting. I couldn’t live down here because I would be as big as a house especially the way the staff treats you, so welcoming as if you were family!! Such a great experience this would be another restaurant to revisit when I’m back in town!!!!!

Food here was excellent. Our server, Sheree was phenomenal. She was very attentive but not intrusive. We ordered the gechee wings to start. They were crispy and covered in a unique and flavorful sauce. Our food arrived shortly after and was hot and appealing. We ordered yams, corn bread and rice with our chicken. Needless to say, we had very little left over. We will be back here soon!
