    Very nice spot… Old Church vibe, with a bit of civil war nostalgia. We enjoyed the fried chicken and southern salad. Chicken was crispy n moist, but… $30.00 for 1/2 chicken? Some pickles and cornbread, but no sides? Salad was fresh and flavorful. Our server was very distracted, and likely wished we had gone somewhere else? Don’t think we would return. Too many other spots for great food and service in this lovely city!! YMMV

    The food is just not good. You can tell everything is premade like a hotel buffet and they just scoop it onto plates when orders are placed, especially since it came out literally 2 mins after we ordered. Felt the same at the Charlotte location but wanted to try Charleston in hopes it would be better. The restaurant is beautiful however.

    A solid go-to in Charleston. Whether you are entertaining out of town guests, there for a romantic evening, a special celebratory gathering or really just want a fantastic meal in a great atmosphere -- Church and Union is the place. The vibe captivates you before you even take a seat; the service is attentive without being overbearing, and everything on the menu is spectacular. (I've been there enough to know!) Everything about Church and Union will be a memorable experience that you absolutely shouldn't miss.....a feast for the eyes and the palate. Don't sit on this one -- just go.

    Adored our bartender while we waited for our table. The drinks were phenomenal (we had a 1916 and a Smokeshow, and a Buffalo with gin instead of rum), some of the best we’ve ever had. Our server was not as charismatic but the food was great (salmon and short rib). The portion sizes are not southern though lol.
