The Chef's technique is perfect and his pairings are brilliant. Service was outstanding. The place is not pretentious and the staff is friendly. The kitchen was very efficient and got our order out quickly, and cooked perfectly. One of the most satisfying meals that I have ever had. I highly recommend this if you're in this area.

Our absolute favorite place for a sandwich! We visited here 7 years ago while on vacation in Charleston and have raved about it since. This past year we were traveling through SC and made a detour to the Charleston area JUST to have lunch at the Southern General. We follow them on facebook and our mouths water every day at their posts. I would honestly consider moving from Michigan to this area just to eat here every day. Or maybe they can just open up a location in Michigan ;) can't wait to go back!!

LOVED the cheese curds (fried mozzarella bites). The sandwich we chose wasn't my favorite (chicken schnitzel that was heavy on lemon sauce). Service was great and atmosphere was peaceful.

This is a nice little find! The service was ok, and the food was good. Had the Sloppy Joe, and it was one of the best I've had! If you like Cheese Curds, they are pretty good! The only thing that got me was when I thanked the chef, and he acted like I wasn't there. I did it 2 times. So I don't know if I will spend my money at a place that doesn't act like I'm a person! Lots of other places! Sooooo.... 🙃

Mallory our waitress was outstanding. We ordered Poutine fries. The cheese curds & gravy was top notch! We felt the seasoning on the fries were a bit much and could have done without it. The veggie black bean burger was good and my husband enjoyed his pork butt BBQ sandwich. The cucumber salad was just the right touch of fresh and pickled superbly. Definitely would dine here again whenever we are in the Charleston area.

The cheese curds were such a delicious start to our meals at this small, low-key restaurant. The pulled pork sandwich was amazing with the best sauce on it. We tried the hand cut fries which were seasoned perfectly and the mac and cheese had that great southern thickness and taste. Our server was excellent and made sure our drinks were always full. The extra 20% they add to the bill for the kitchen staff is no big deal because the prices are LOW and the portions are very fair. We will definitely come back next time we’re in South Carolina!

Visited Charleston for the first time and was recommended this place by a local while eating somewhere else. The chicken schnitzel was amazing. Staff was great.

The Southern General is a special find, very unique food and taste. No tap beer but very good selection overall. I had the black and blue chicken which tells me a lot about how confident the place is. They locked it out of the park. Try this place when you are on or near James Island.
