New James Island Pub Offering Unique Variety of Food Options and Plenty of Craft Beers


Yes, Charleston is definitely becoming known for craft beer and has always been know for great food!  For you craft beer enthusiasts who are looking for something other than the normal pub food, check out the newly opened Big Belly Kitchen and Tap House, on Fort Johnson Road, James Island.

Big Belly serves up hand crafted sandwiches, tacos and a wide selection of craft beers, presently serving 24 different draft beers and plenty of bottled beer options as well.  The owners, who both owned food trucks, joined forces and have given the food menu a unique twist to pub food, offering Asian and lowcountry "fusions", from their appetizers to their sandwiches.

On our last visit to Big Belly this past weekend, my husband and I started off with the Beef Chilorio Quesadilla which was a nice variation from your typical Mexican ground beef quesadilla.  For our main meals, my husband had the Baja Shrimp Tacos and I had the Roasted Mushroom and Goat Cheese Sandwich.  Both were very good and mine was filling so ended up taking half of it home to enjoy the next day.

Guests next to us had the Pork Belly Gyro and KFC Banh Mi which is a Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich and raved about it.  Friends of ours who stopped in the day after us also raved about the Banh Mi so I think we will have to try it next time!

If you live on James Island, this is located in a great neighborhood community, by the James Island High School, so you could easily ride your bike that and the owners encourage that by offering bike racks.  Definitely worth stopping by after a day at Folly Beach or enjoy some craft beers and watch the featured game on tv.  For details, visit their Facebook page,  https://www.facebook.com/bigbellykitchen
