Good food, quick service, friendly staff
Their daily kitchen is good 85% of the time, some days I feel like the daily kitchen menu is less inspiring but still very good.
We used Emelle's for our wedding in May 2017, and, as far as the food went, it was amazing. I have only good things to say about that aspect of the catering. In addition, the severs were super lovely and professional.
However, my fiance and I were pretty nonplussed by the way everything was handled before the wedding. We had to initiate most of the communication, asking about things they should've been asking us e.g. how many high chairs we'd need; what we wanted our bar service to look like. Out of all of our vendors, Emelle's had the least followup and paperwork documenting our agreement. This led to a miscommunication that left us with a big dessert item missing from our reception. Basically, we didn't feel like our business was valued, starting from after the first tasting session.
That being said, our wedding planner was a week-of planner, as opposed to a full-time one. She definitely would have saved us trouble with Emelle's had she been working for us the whole lead-up to the wedding. So, my recommendation is that, if you have a planner, Emelle's is a strong choice because the quality of food is guaranteed. If you aren't going to be using a professional planner for your event, just be prepared to be really on the ball; make sure you get clear receipts and agreements in writing from Emelle's.
This place is run by Chefs and other great professional staff. Everyone is great here to talk and their daily specials are great. The food is fresh and they have great selections. Prices are very good as well!
I've been here for lunch on a number of occasions. Pricey for what you get. The hot sandwiches and paninis have been a let-down every time I got one: small and usually pretty greasy. The chef blue plate specials are also a hit or miss depending on what you get.
We attended our first Bard on the Beach performance last night, and we ordered two of their "Juliet's Supper" meals for my daughter and I as we would not have time to eat dinner beforehand. When confirming my order the day before, I asked if they could also include a birthday cupcake for my daughter (and one for me, too!) and not only were those delicious, but the whole meal was wonderful, and I appreciated their excellent customer service as well. Bravo!
Emelle's Catered a 40 person family party for us. The food was absolutely outstanding as was the service. They were professional is every step along the way. I would highly recommend the team at Emelle's for any catering or event service.
So you work in the Mount Pleasant area and need a place to eat for lunch. Emelle's can offer you just that.
Everyday of the week they offer a different menu to keep you coming back for more. Their food is amazing quality for around $10 a meal. Order from the kitchen bar, grab a cookie at the check out, and sit down and wait for your delicious meal to be served. Actually before you sit, grab a tastey glass of infused water.
The friendly atmosphere and brightly lit eating area is a welcoming experience. The staff work here like clockwork. Seating is plentiful; feel free to make your own table of 4 or more. If you like sides of fries but still want to eat a healthy salad, simply ask for half-and-half and they will serve with a smile.
