Restaurants in Charleston

“FABULOUS smoked brisket/turkey ...sides are southern at its best...Local favorite....can't wait to go back!!!!!”

“The best, freshest seafood! Best fish taco i ever put in my mouth. And love the atmosphere!”

“We enjoyed oysters, yellowfin tuna, clam chowder, steak and the fish basket plus some delicious drinks! Service was amazing as well as the entire experience. Highly recommend!”

“Spent several late afternoons/early evenings at Doar Bros. last week and had a great time! Jake and Stephen are artists in creating phenomenal craft cocktails! JD, one of the owners, very personable and welcoming! All great guys! If you're in to cocktailing, no trip to Charleston is complete without a stop at Doar Bros.! Cheers!”

“One of my top 5 restaurants in Charleston. Quality and taste is EPIC and getting to chat with Kazu and Chris just makes the experience so much more intimate. Such a fantastic value for the quality and quantity of food - my main recommendation is to keep a running list of the dishes served because at the end of the meal, you get to order more of whatever you liked a la carte. If you ever get the chance for a hard to get reservation here, TAKE IT!!!!”

“Hipster joint in the North King area. Hipster who handed us menu’s at the bar “We’re a Rum forward bar”. Absolutely need the oyster sliders in your life. We had 6 between the two of us.”

“Edmund’s Original is one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston. It’s the perfect mix of quality and price, with a team that always makes us feel right at home. I can’t speak highly enough of this place. Whenever someone comes to visit from out of town, we bring them to EO so they can get a taste of what we’re fortunate to enjoy regularly. The food is phenomenal - from the fried chicken to the burger to the steak, and everything in between. The beer selection is top notch. In-house developed cocktails are creative, while the classics are on point if that’s more your speed. The chocolate cake and an espresso martini are the perfect touch to finish it all off! Oh, and don’t sleep on the special events they host! When the chef teams up with other chef’s from around the state, they always deliver a unique and delicious experience!”

“We didn’t have reservations, but were able to sit at the bar! We had the best food, craft cocktails and dessert! The staff was amazing, especially Kiersten, K-WOW, the bartender! Highly recommend!”

“Leon's is literally in my dreams! My boyfriend and I went there for the first time three years ago. It blew our minds! Affordable, delicious food, and such a fun atmosphere. We returned a couple of times on the same trip. We live in NJ... and set up a trip last year JUST to go to Leons. I am actually scared to post a review because I selfishly want to keep it a secret for my boyfriend and I. Man, if you like chicken and oysters... you cannot go wrong. Damn, now I need to set up another trip. :)”

“OMG, The food, service and overall experience was amazing. Dan and the guys behind the bar made sure it was an excellent experience. Will be going back every year on St. Patrick’s day.🍀”

“Stepped out of our typical places to eat to try Azur and we were really impressed. Food, drinks, and service were all top tier. Pedro and Chris were great bartenders who made sure our experience was absolutely excellent.”

“Excellent service! The atmosphere was an amazing place to grab a drink and/or eat for the evening while socializing.”

“Simply perfection! The oyster selection is otherworldly. The chargrilled oysters the best Ive had in my life. (Florida born an culinary chef.) The peel & eat shrimp so plump and served ice cold I have craved them since I had them. The service was above and beyond. The atmosphere encouraged private chatter but also conversation with next table easily. Friendly and cheerful and above all excellent food served with smiles, suggestions, and ease. I will never visit Charleston again without making sure to dine here. (Do not eat the soup. I actually sent it back to the kitchen. Never have I had to do that. ) Highly recommend again and again for everything else.”

“Very cozy and comfortable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. You feel like it's home. The food was mouth-watering, with a variety of flavors, you are able to taste each spice. We tried the lamb (Yassa) and snapper. Lamb was rich, savory, and warm. The snapper was cooked to perfection...flaky, with a crisp on the outside, and seasoned to perfection. All side dishes paired well and the Fritters (appetizer) was also amazing. Be sure to try the fresh juices. We tried pineapple/ginger and passion fruit. Mm mm mmmm!”

“Delicious meal & friendly staff”

“Great food, prompt service. The polenta was wonderful!”

“We went for lunch, there were so many great choices! We had the Pimento Cheese for an appetizer and it did not disappoint. My friend and I shared the Chicken Tenders and Classic Vegetarian plate full of great southern veggies. Delish! The atmosphere was inviting and the service was great. Definitely highly recommend!”

“Had a fish sandwich. Collard greens, slaw, fried oysters, and calamari. Outstanding. Collards off the chart. Service even better. 15/10 recommend.”

“I read a comment my friend posted about Hall’s Chophouse and I was curious. I was on my way to Florida and I told my wife I would take her there for our 26th. Anniversary. Well, I must say I have never, and I went to many restaurants and bars, I have never been so please with everything. The reception, the impeccable and amicable service by Scott, the food was sublime and the owner Billy was so cordial and friendly. From beginning to finish, the experience was exceptional. You MUST go there the food is AMAZING.”

“Exceptional wine selections in self serve machines and an owner that is extremely knowledgeable about wines throughout the world! Great service and a wonderful positive vibe. I can't wait to go back!”

“Exactly what Charleston’s been missing. Creative menu- did someone say Burrata? I have tried most things on the menu and truly loved it all, although the Bass is still my #1. So fresh, tender, just melts in your mouth. So much flavor in every bite. Cocktails are innovative and right on point. And don’t sleep on the desserts- Midnight Snack with Fruity Pebbles.. trust me.. 🤤”

“literally everything we had here tonight was fantastic. the calamari strips are some of the best calamari I have ever had. the drinks were wonderful. I had this seard fish with the succotash which was so good. my boyfriend had the pot roast melt and loved it. the owner was absolutely fantastic. we will definitely be back repeatedly!”

“My date was sick and couldn't keep our brunch date. Since it was a new decade birthday for me, I went alone and had a wonderful time!! I sat in a bar booth and had fun interacting with the very interesting, knowledgeable server, who also was an adventurous cook at home. I sampled new things and compared dishes with other diners as they were leaving. It is my new favorite restaurant in Charleston! The interior is pretty, cheerful and bright. The oyster / bone marrow was elegant. So many good dishes. Their sister restaurant, The James, is also wonderful! It's not as upscale, but delicious, non-the-less! Somebody is doing something right!!”

“The food was excellentellent and the atmosphere was great. Was a great dining experience for our mother-daughter trip to Charleston”

“Had brunch today. Food was good. The chicken and waffle was really tasty.”

“Best restaurant in Charleston! It really is a must!”

“The best, freshest seafood! Best fish taco i ever put in my mouth. And love the atmosphere!”

“My husband and I sat at the bar and were pleasantly surprised by the cocktail engineers helping us navigate our lunch. We started with drinks and an order of calamari; prices seemed high, but we are always willing to pay for superb experiences, after all, this is our first time in Charleston, thus our first time at Bar167. The place was packed; everyone was chatting with one another, along with the friendly staff. Between my husband and I, and the new friends we made, I think every cocktail on the specialty menu was made and sampled. The cocktail engineers were knowledgeable, attentive, and welcomed all the questions (no matter how dumb they were). We had the crab roll and the fish sandwich – did not disappoint! CAN I JUST TELL YOU, the damn Tzatziki Drink was unexpectedly amazballs.
This was a great place, if we are ever in the area again, we will be there”

“What a great find! This spot is a bit tricky to locate—you might walk right past it thinking it's a hotel or apartment—but once you step inside, it's a truly nice place with excellent food.

The menu is full of winners. The pasta is all made fresh in-house, and we absolutely loved the sausage and rigatoni; it had great flavor! The beef carpaccio was very delicious, and we almost ordered a second plate! To top it off, the cocktail with the cucumber was made perfectly and was wonderfully refreshing.

We did order the burger but the food took so long we got full on the prior small bites so we were able to cancel it as it did not make it to get cooked.

Also the celery salad is a must try. It was delicious. Did not know what to expect but definitely was good.

We ordered the oysters, and while they were super fresh, they were a bit saltier than the sweeter oysters I prefer, but they were still good overall. We were thoroughly impressed and will be back again for sure!”

“Vern’s Restaurant in downtown Charleston truly exceeded our expectations and left us with an unforgettable dining experience. The food was exceptional—quite possibly the best meal we have ever had.”

“Best staff and great food ! Awesome vibe!!”

“I have ordered several different things from this truck, and have yet to have a bad experience. Delicious coffee and the guy who serves it is extremely knowledgeable about where the beans come from and what is the best type of flavor, and can help you decide what is best. I look forward to getting it every time I see them.”

“We only stayed here 1 day but we really enjoyed ourselves. The Staff is excellent and very friendly and honest. We checked out in a hurry and I left my wallet in the room. It was returned to me via express mail after they called me to let me know . I didn't even realize at that point it was missing. Edwin was a great help. Everyone there was super nice. The courtyard is an awesome hang out spot, great drinks.👍👍😁”

“Buenos y sabrosos para disfrutar”

“Came to this place twice on my recent visit because the breakfast was so yummy! The avocado toast was delish & the matcha cortado was so good I’ve been trying to recreate it at home!”

“We LOVED our lunch visit a few weeks ago! great service, excellent food, loads of fun!”

“absolute best sushi and sashimi I've ever had”

“Excellent food and service in warm welcoming environment.”

“Visited this restaurant based upon a friend's suggestion. The food was amazing as well.as the service. We didn't eat in the restaurant as it is very small . There was a line to get in and it moved quickly. Definitely try this place if you are visiting Charleston.”

“I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Although we didn’t have a reservation, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large party and quickly arranged a lovely table for our group. When we asked for recommendations, our waiter suggested a family-style three-course meal, and we couldn’t be happier with his suggestion! Each course was beautifully presented, and simply delicious. From appetizers to desserts, every dish was crafted with care and creativity. It was a wonderful way to experience the menu and share in the joy of great food together. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and dine here—you won’t regret it! Thank you for an amazing experience; I can’t wait to return!”

“I have been eye balling this place for a while and I finally added it into our Charleston itinerary, and it will absolutely be put at the top of the list!! Menu is simple yet delicious and the service was great! Can't wait to eat here again!”

“What a fantastic place! If in Charleston, SC, this is a must eat!”

“We found Malagon on Yelp…..not disappointed. Small and cozy restaurant, many options both small and large plates, don’t over look the daily specials, we didn’t we had the Tomato Tartar and Arugula Salad. Felt right at home no rush to eat quickly. When ordering look around what others were eating and get an instant review. Highly recommend you make reservations.”

“Phenomenal food and atmosphere. Get the “dessert bread” appetizer if you come. Had the grouper on special and it was incredible”

“When you go sit at the kitchen counter. Loved watching the cooks.”

“The staff was amazing. It was our anniversary and the GM personally came to our table and poured us a glass of Champaign to celebrate. They also gave us a free dessert. The hostess, wait staff, and GM all took time to wish us a happy anniversary. The food was amazing as well! Overall it was a great dining experience!”

“Best meal, service, and atmosphere we've had in Charleston! All our food was delicious, but the shrimp and grits was out of this world! Best decision we made was to eat there.”

“Great food awesome atmosphere. Service was awesome. Ate at the bar and it was perfect”

“EVERYTHING = TODO! From the food and drinks, to the atmosphere, and the people :)”

“DOPE very well thought out menu, top notch ingredients, top to bottom an amazing experience. 10/10 wait in line it's worth it”

“Filipino dishes with a twist. Hands down every dish we had was so good!”

“We had the most amazing night celebrating our 10th anniversary. The entire team went above and beyond and we left feeling so filled with joy—and OUTSTANDING food. Flavors that we never will forget and memories for a lifetime. WC team, thank you for making our first night in Charleston one we will never forget.”

“Always a stop for me while in Charleston to see what new bottles they have on the bar. Neta was lovely. Cheers LS staff 🙏🏻

Edit:
Still my favorite spot to grab a drink and chat with friends. Staff still doing an awesome job”

“Amazing birthday celebration dinner.”

“We had a lovely dinner at The James. I have a restricted diet and they wendy out if their way to make sure I was accommodated. There were 4 of us and everyone enjoyed our evening. Our server, Jessica was first class as were everyone we came in contact with. Would highly recommend The James.”

“😃 great well-crafted coffee drinks with fresh pastries.”

“Fantastic atmosphere. Saturday brunch with Beth, server as pleasant as con be. Highly recommend Shrimp and grits with Bloody Mary. A must when visiting Savannah.”

“This is a MUST!! It’s like a beautiful art museum as soon as you enter, beautiful exhibits!! It’s definitely a VIBE, mature crowd and the food was delicious!”

“Besides the food quality being 1000000%, the owners/sandwich slingers are amazing at their craft and truly take the time and care to ensure an amazing feasting experience. From the food & drink selection all the way down to the playful names for each sandwich (and the hilarious art in the bathrooms) the total vibe is 💯 ❤️ 10/10 recommend. Support your local sandwich master!”

“Super Delicious breakfast in a cozy laid-back Atmosphere!!!”

“The food was decent. I didn’t think there were a ton of options and it was a little overpriced. The service was good. Our server was wonderful. They did get super busy though and they didn’t seem to handle that very well. We waited a long time for the check. Overall it was good but I probably wouldn’t go back”

“Jenn was the best waitress I have ever had and I go to restaurants for fun. She was caring and was passionate! The buffalo Brussels sprouts were amazing and the shrimp Gnocchi was to die for!!! 10/10 would recommend and ask for Jenn!!!”

“I asked my fiancé to find a nice coffee shop that also sells beer in Charleston. After her google search, she asked our friends at The Lucky Luchador and they also recommended your establishment. I was definitely impressed with the atmosphere and selection of beer that was available. I will be coming back soon and will be your ugliest ambassador!!! 😊”

“Delicious and creative menu!”

“outstanding food, excellent and friendly service. best restaurant in town.”

“Always amazing!! Cooking class with Chef Tyler was so fun!! Zero George is our go to in Charleston!”

“just a great experience, food , wine and service.”

“Great food; great service”

“I found out about Southbound, through my job. I had to go do some work there, and found the owner and everyone there, super friendly. Most people at restaurants ignore working people while they are there. As my 42nd anniversary was quickly approaching, I decided to give this place a try. Some of my past picks, have not been the best. Southbound cleared EVERY hurdle I have about restaurants. From the moment we approached the restaurant, great service began! While coming thru the gate, the hostess yelled out, "HEY LARRY" and then said, "This must be your beautiful wife"! Like CHEERS, it felt great to go somewhere, "Where everybody knows your name" We were seated and got to view the open fire oven. I had dropped off 42 roses the week before for them to put on our table, for my wife. Tropical storm Debbie, and downtown flooding prevented us from going exactly on our anniversary. I was worried that store bought roses, would not last thru the weeklong delay, Joel assured me everything would be taken care of, and not to worry. As we were seated, there on the table, sat 42 roses. Fresh, and arranged with baby breath flowers included. I was told the young lady with the hostess had arranged them. They were gorgeous! They also had an anniversary card on the table from them, not something I had dropped off. The service was tremendous, the food indescribably outstanding! I have only had steak Tar Tar once before in my life, and was greatly afraid to try it again, as the first time was awful. It was superb! They take great pride in the presentation of their food products. I felt like I was in an episode of Master Chef. We had the steak, as well as the Sea bass, okra, corn, sweet potatoes, and the Caramel cake. Everything absolutely wonderful! This was a truly wonderful and memorable dining experience!! I would give 100 stars, and a Siskel and Ebert two thumbs up! There was only one thing I was disappointed about. No sweet tea! Were In Charleston SC, no sweet tea. Everything else totally made up for it though. The staff even had everyone present sign a menu, wishing us a happy anniversry1 I will most definatly go there again for a special occasion. Thanks to Andrew, Joel, and the entire staff, for making this night special!!”

“Had a great time taking my Sister for her Birthday for the 1st time. I have been there many times over the years. She was quite thrilled by the experience. The food was great! She thoroughly enjoyed her chocolate nitrotini, as did I. The wait staff was exceptional and we cannot wait to go again. Thanks Grill 225!!”

“Terrific Experience - very interesting presentation and we loved the food too!”

“Oak has a great reputation for Charleston's best steaks and sides, atmosphere and service. Dining in the heart of downtown Charleston is the crowning gem! Hands down, Charleston's best!”

“My favorite birthday cake is coconut. My daughter got me one of your 12 pound coconut cakes for my 70th birthday. Absolutely the best coconut cake I’ve ever had. Highly recommend !”

“Ashley Bakery did a phenomenal job on my fiancé’s birthday cake! It was a total hit! She created it exactly the way we discussed with the flavoring requested!! I definitely recommend this bakery!!!”

“We attended the tavern lunch and it was great! What a fantastic way to learn more about the area’s history. Mike was fantastic and the food was delicious. Must do!”

“I have a long, productive day where I celebrating accepting a new job with CPI Security and hanging out with Dad today who lives adlund the corner on Society. Both my parents came here back in the 60's. It was phenomenal and very enjoyable! They staff killer - very friendly. Also, I'm a former craft cocktail bartender with a fairly refined palette and that Manhattan was fire! 🔥✌🏼”

“Sunday morning 9AM, little bit of a line but moved quick!

Apple danish - overall fine but the pastry part was too chewy almost stale, hard to tell if intentionally chewy or overcooked. Apple slices while aesthetically pleasing, hard to chew because of apple skin left on during baking

Chocolate Croissant - pretty good, but different. Super crunchy and very buttery. Good chocolate distribution

Matcha - great matcha to oat milk ratio but wasn’t whisked all the way through”

“Hats off to Gaby! She was wonderful! Her energy and huge smile. We’d go back just to see her again! 🫶”

“My first bite took me back to my grandmothers kitchen the day after a turkey dinner. The thin sliced turkey, perfectly balanced sharp provolone, and the tomato, it was like it came straight from her garden that morning. Can’t say enough, go get a sammy, make your day better.”

“Harken on Queen Street is a cozy, low-key hideaway with scratch-made biscuits, seasonal salad bowls, and creative lattes. Great spot for a relaxed breakfast or coffee. Friendly vibe and fresh, thoughtful flavors every time.”

“This place was a madhouse on a Saturday afternoon, but for very good reason. The setup is a bit disorientating at first, but makes sense; you order at the glass first, where they’re making the sandwiches, get a ticket to pay at the register, and then wait anywhere you can stand. Dining is standing room only as well, but we did choose to dine in.

The bread used for the sandwiches is an incredible focaccia, golden crisp but soft on the inside. The ingredients are fresh: tomato, basil, olive oil, pear, pesto, and mozzarella. The prosciutto is cut while you watch on an old fashioned crank driven deli slicer. The staff is working over time serving up dozens of sandwiches including their porchetta with horseradish.

We topped it off with some cannoli and Peligrino. Everyone was very polite (customers and staff), and the management did check to ensure you were enjoying the food if you decided to dine in.”

“Not sure why this location has a lower rating than the other. I had a great time at both locations and I’m glad I went out of my way to pop into this one. If I was local I’d be a regular for sure! I sat at the bar top and enjoyed my coffee and people watching. The team work and way the staff interacted with each other made it known that it was a well run establishment. Great job, Babas!”

“Such a great little joint to visit while in Charleston! Plays the best music! And awesome food and drinks!!!”

“The Grasshopper Toast was an amazing blend of flavors!”

“Amazing food! Great environment!”

“Amazing food! My family and I went here yesterday during our trip to Myrtle Beach based on some recommendations I saw online...and this place exceeded all expectations!! All of us were beyond satisfied with our meals. Delicious flavors and good portion sizes too! We said we will come back to Myrtle Beach (from PA) just to come back here 😂. Great service, nice atmosphere, and the food is absolutely amazing! We wanted to get photos of our meals but we were so excited to dig in when it came out that we forgot all about photos! Go check this place out and see for yourself.”

“I have no clue on who the owners are, but I can tell you that all of their food is made with Love ❤️. You can see it and you can taste it. Everything I have ever had has always been so delicious. This place is a Charleston Gem and I pray this little place continues to Thrive and Prosper. Charleston Loves You❤️❤️”

“Love sightsee shop!!! The worst part about leaving Charleston was leaving sightsee.”

“The food was amazing the crystal was an amazing server prompt attentive ever though the whole restaurant was slammed 10 out of 10 would ear here again”

“Cold Shoulder Gourmet isn’t just the best sandwich shop in Charleston, it’s a full-blown culinary experience disguised as a casual lunch spot. The owner Craig, is genuinely one of the nicest humans I’ve ever met, and watching him work the sandwich station is like watching Picasso paint… if Picasso had access to truffle cream cheese and fresh-baked focaccia.

Get the Spicy 🥵 with capicola, nduja, truffle cream cheese/hot sauce, arugula, and parmesan. If you’re lucky enough to catch it, it’s a religious experience. Run, don’t walk. 😋”

“After 1 hr drive thru Charleston to Get some SBs met the best guy Joey who made us laugh after sitting in traffic ( due to accident) . Thanks Joey!! The peeps from NJ!”

“Visiting Charleston,SC, needed something filling . Found New York Pizza on East Bay Street. The young lady April who took my order over the phone was wonderful. She was most helpful in suggesting the amount and toppings. My mobility issues allowed me to go to the Lobby and receive my Pizza. Leo brought it to the desk, he was very nice, appreciative and caring. April and Leo are great employees to have, they accommodate others issues and make it happen. I am most grateful and thankful. My Pizza,Side Salad, Strawberry Lemonade mad the difference also. Thank you again and again April and Leo.”

“Leon's is literally in my dreams! My boyfriend and I went there for the first time three years ago. It blew our minds! Affordable, delicious food, and such a fun atmosphere. We returned a couple of times on the same trip. We live in NJ... and set up a trip last year JUST to go to Leons. I am actually scared to post a review because I selfishly want to keep it a secret for my boyfriend and I. Man, if you like chicken and oysters... you cannot go wrong. Damn, now I need to set up another trip. :)”

“Josette was amazing and so sweet! Definitely coming back !”

“We come to Kiawah Island for many years. One of our high high Lights is dining at Aji. We are from New Jersey and had the pleasure of having dined with on the delicacies created by Tim at our local sushi restaurant and are jealous that folks in Charleston have access to this great restaurant. We look forward to returning later in the year.”

“I was lucky to stumble upon Dellzville while in Charleston. I pre-0rderd their Harvest Feast for Thanksgiving. It was by far one of the best vegan meals I have had!! I didn’t feel like I was lacking anything with the rest of my family filling up on their traditional meal. PS..mine looked and tasted better! My only regret is that I should have ordered a second platter for leftovers.”

“This place is a super gem. After trying other Pho places, I found this one to be best. The chef sat down with me and explained how she makes the broths from scratch (no MSG!) Portions are huge with very fresh meats and vegetables. The pho is served with a side plate of limes, cilantro and/or basil and bean sprouts. The place is clean and the staff is great. Love, love this place!”

“Food was great, service was Awesome, Whitney is the best”

“First time visit recommended by nephew. Great food, great server and prompt service. Always try to be considerate in not overstaying our welcome when people are waiting to be seated. We finished our lunch having been there a total of one hour , enjoying talk with nephew who we hadn’t seen in months when another employee rudely and abruptly said “so, are you ready to settle up?” Never have we felt like we were being ejected from a restaurant! And the real rub is there were at least 3 empty tables and a booth in our seating area. We three were so stunned by her rude manners, we politely gave her our card, (and she took the liberty of pre-selecting a 22% tip which we gladly gave our server)paid our bill and left - NEVER TO RETURN!”

“Very cute, very clean new location in West Ashley. We enjoyed our visit on Friday night. Very juicy burgers, huge crinkle cut fries and best milkshake we’ve had in a long time. 5*”

“Omar and the chef were great. Wings are incredible! Service Top Notch !it has been a long time since we have been able to say that !!”

“The three of us thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on Sunday. We were pleased with our delicious large portions. We love the sauces and the freshly cooked meats.”

Somebody is doing something right!!”

“I loved the vibes and atmosphere. Food and drinks were amazing. Our bartender, Pepe was phenomenal and will definitely be back next time we’re in Charleston!!”

“I stayed at La Quinta and searched for restaurants within walking distance . What a pleasant surprise to be walking next to a picturesque marina to this delightful restaurant. My server was Gabrielle I believe, she was very attentive and helpful in selecting my choices I sat out on the patio next to the marina and had a great caesar salad topped with blackened shrimp that was fresh and delicious. Their famous croissant lives up to the hype. On a side note a little research uncovered that the restaurant is located in the historic Union Station building, which was originally built as a passenger railroad station in 1902. I’ll definitely be back”

“Outstanding restaurant for lunch. Great wine list and the salads and mussel selection were delicious. Server was polite and efficient. Will definitely go back again.”

“My favorite birthday cake is coconut. My daughter got me one of your 12 pound coconut cakes for my 70th birthday. Absolutely the best coconut cake I’ve ever had. Highly recommend !”

“So many things were Great ! Service was outstanding from Haley! Food was wonderful and the music out in Hudson Alley was fantastic! Haven’t had this much fun in a while! Highly recommend you go !”

“Delicious brunch. Wonderful friendly staff. Warm atmosphere.”

“Oak has a great reputation for Charleston's best steaks and sides, atmosphere and service. Dining in the heart of downtown Charleston is the crowning gem! Hands down, Charleston's best!”

“We were given a tip on this restaurant. While tough to get a table it was quickly obvious why. We had the rabbit roulade and the steak w wild mushrooms, but just as good as the main courses were the lamb dumpling appetizers. It was also a beautiful, refined atmosphere with top notice service.”

“best drag show/brunch EVER! and our server Kahlil was amazing! 🤩”

“Omar and the chef were great. Wings are incredible! Service Top Notch !it has been a long time since we have been able to say that !!”

“Rodney’s is the must visit BBQ spot in Charleston to try authentic South Carolina style.

The whole hog pulled pork + vinegar based sauces are just to die for.”

“Stunning! Highly recommend a spot at the bar so you can watch them work their cooking magic. We were celebrating our anniversary and this is where we hosted our rehearsal dinner so we're a tad bias. Three years ago and they're still killing it.”

“Very cool atmosphere! Very romantic! Live music, great food! Definitely 5 stars from me! ⭐️”

“A perfect place to enjoy a fresh well prepared meal, served by helpful staff. As it was on our doorstep, and we had had abusy day, the venue was extremely welcome. The adjoining bar was quite noisy, buti suppose it was Friday night.”

“Great place to stop and have a drink or two with great seafood!”

“A great spot to check out if you’re looking for a nice place to hang out at night on King Street. The staff are super friendly and provide excellent service. Big thanks to Rachel for making such a delicious cocktail! ❤️”

“Great music, happy hour, and staff!”

“Sooo I arrived with a party of four to enjoy a wonderful glass of wine. But they didn't have anything to serve me that I like to drink, and sure enough the beverage manager over both bars came in and saved the day. She is amazing! Her name is Haley! She hooked us up with beverages we loved. She is the bar manager imagine that! Amazing! Thank you Haley .”

“This is the best rooftop bar in Charleston. It’s so put together and feels like you’re in Architectural Digest. A beautifully executed interior is matched by the service and drinks. As a Charlotte native, I won’t skip this place on my trips down. Just incredible.”

“Tucked away behind an unassuming facade, this spot is pure Charleston magic. Dim lighting, impeccable cocktails, and lowcountry charm create an unforgettable experience. The thoughtfully crafted drinks and a whispering vibe make you feel part of a well-kept secret. A true hidden gem—if you know, you know.”

“A young team
Young man on the counter was tremendous gentlemen, helping them in the back was equally tremendous

Good solid food with healthy portions

Thank you!”

Bennet was a wonderful server. Great suggestions and so personable.
The food is phenomenal and the atmosphere lovely.
We came once for a girls trip a few weeks ago and knew we had to come back with our husbands when we were passing through town this week. It’s a can’t miss spot. Cannot recommend enough!”
