I love Locals! I try not to repeat restaurants often in Charleston but this is one spot I will always gladly come back to. Even if you aren’t a sushi lover there is something on the menu for everyone. Our server Ashley was attentive and provided great service. I love the energy the restaurant brings for happy hour with a great deal of half off a majority of their sushi rolls. The Tuna Tower was delicious. We also got the Charleston and the Holy City roll. My favorite roll is by far the Holy City Roll! If you are in the mood for some good food check out Locals!

Sure! Here's a refined and more engaging version of your review:

Locals does a great job blending the laid-back vibe of a neighborhood bar with a surprisingly strong menu of fresh, healthier fare. It’s the kind of place where you can swing by in flip-flops for a cold beer, but still order quality sushi, poke bowls, or creative rolls that go beyond typical bar food.

The outdoor bar and patio seating are perfect for unwinding, especially on warm evenings, and the beer prices are refreshingly reasonable. The menu offers something for everyone, whether you’re just in for drinks or want a full meal that doesn’t feel heavy.

A little insider tip: Wednesday night is half-off sushi, which sounds like a win—but it draws a huge crowd. If you’re not a fan of long waits or a bustling scene, you might want to pick another night. 😄

All in all, Locals is a solid spot to keep in rotation—casual, welcoming, and consistently good food and drink.

ASHLEY and Austin were fabulously friendly. It was our first time, and we will be back! Atmosphere was at the perfect level as we sat outside at the bar. Didn't know there was live music, my wife missed out. High KUDOS

Got take out

The food taste and quality here has really gone down. I was once a faithful customer but the last couple times have really changed my perspective on this place. The sushi guy that used to work here doesn't anymore.

Never disappoints

Half price night on Wednesday is awesome on sushi ! We normally sit at the bar because there’s a long wait and it’s first come first serve at the bar. Food is fantastic and Price is awesome. Our bartender who is always there is fantastic.

Not a fan of the sushi.

Absolutely my favorite sushi in Charleston! Very sad as we come here so often, when we walked in 2 young girls (hosts) had the absolute worst attitudes ever. Frowning, twiddling hair, rolling their eyes and yelling at each other. It was something out of a movie honestly, I thought they were about to cat fight. Anyways we might be back but the other locations tend to have friendlier service.
