Word on the street
What locals are saying
Heavy's Barburger, a husband-and-wife-owned spot that took over the old Tattooed Moose space on Morrison Drive, earns consistent praise from Charleston regulars for its well-seasoned smash burgers, standout house-made onion rings, crinkle-cut fries, and a casual, dog-friendly patio vibe. Most locals consider it a reliable, fairly priced neighborhood go-to with friendly service, though a handful of critics find the burgers greasy and the experience closer to a fast-casual chain than a true destination. The main friction points are loud music, limited seating comfort (communal/bar stools), and the lingering shadow of the beloved Tattooed Moose it replaced.
