& I gotta be honest….
I wasn’t crazy about the famous duck sandwich. It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t worth $22. I also wasn’t crazy that fries were a $3.25 up charge if you didn’t want pork rinds. However that being said, the atmosphere was more than a vibe. Comfortable and super welcoming. The staff was amazing. Def would go again but would try something than the duck sandwich.
Have you been? What did you think?
Okay, so you heard my honest take on The Tattooed Moose's famous duck sandwich in Charleston. To be totally upfront, while it wasn't a bad dish, for $22 plus that $3.25 upcharge for fries instead of pork rinds, I just felt it didn't quite hit the mark for the price point. But here's the thing: my experience at The Tattooed Moose was still fantastic, and I absolutely plan to go back! It’s one of those spots in Charleston, SC, that just has an undeniable charm. What really makes this place shine, beyond any single dish, is the incredible atmosphere and the genuinely welcoming staff. As soon as you step inside, you’re greeted with this vibrant, eclectic energy. The walls are covered in layers of history, art, and messages – it’s like a visual feast! From the quirky murals outside, featuring a large moose head sign, to the cozy, lived-in feel within, it truly lives up to its name. You can see moose heads (of course!), unique decorations, and even banners celebrating community events like 'HAPPY PARK CIRCLE PRIDE' and promoting 'THE UNCOMMON IPA'. It’s an experience in itself just soaking it all in. My advice if you’re heading to The Tattooed Moose for the first time, especially if you’re checking out some of the reviews like I did beforehand, is to explore their menu beyond just the 'duck club sandwich.' While I wasn't wowed by it, my friends raved about their choices! I saw the 'Fried Chicken Sandwich with Fries' for $18, which looked absolutely delicious and a much better value. And let's talk about the appetizers! The 'Street Corn' for $5 is a must-try – seriously, don’t skip it. And if you’re a wing person, those '8 Jumbo Wings' for $18 looked incredibly tempting, served in a cool green basket with dipping sauces. The drinks menu also offered some intriguing options, with special concoctions like a 'SPECIAL DRINK' priced around $15. It’s definitely a place where you can relax with a unique beverage and enjoy the lively surroundings. Even with my lukewarm feelings about the duck sandwich, I can confidently say that The Tattooed Moose in Charleston is a place you should experience. The positive vibe, the friendly service, and the wide variety of other tempting dishes on their menu make it a standout. Next time, I'm definitely eyeing that Fried Chicken Sandwich or maybe even those wings! Have you discovered any other hidden gems on their menu? I’d love to know what you thought!
