8. Pub Fare 

10 Conroy St
Charleston, SC 29403 Visit Website

Pub Fare’s double cheeseburger with onions, pickles, and “special sauce” really is as good as everyone says, and guests should definitely grab a few extra napkins before diving into this one. The burger gained a huge following within months of debuting at Kudu in 2017, so expect a wait at the pop-up locations, which are generally breweries like Revelry.

10. HoM Charleston

563 King St
Charleston, SC 29403(843) 573-7505 Visit Website

This Upper King Street burger boutique offers a number of options from the classic with American cheese to a patty melt on rye. Burgers with sunny eggs often sound better than they taste, but the HoM Wrecker is an exception, as pepperjack cheese and a fig jam combine to form a sweet and spicy bite that just works.
