50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Charleston

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

“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!“

“Delicious meal & friendly staff“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. :)“

“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!“

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

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

“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 well-crafted coffee drinks with fresh pastries.“

“Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Limited seating inside and outside but it seems like a hot spot!
Their sandwiches and salads looked amazing as I saw them going out but I thoroughly enjoyed my cortado with their house made syrup. The vibe is lively and it seemed like a good place for a date, to study or grab something to go. I look forward to coming back to try their food!“

“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“

“I have mixed feelings. Our first visit was over a decade ago and it was wonderful. Our anniversary was yesterday and it was an ok experience. We sat in the courtyard AB’s was placed under the above heater. We started smelling gas and the heat never reached the table area. So we were freezing. The appetizers were wonderful. The couple got seated next to us ten minutes after us and received their food first. Was told about different and best food options and a dessert menu. We were not given either. Bbq in the shrimp and grits was over powering any other flavor. Husband got fish and grits and it was excellent. Not a 0 but I’m in no hurry to go back or recommend to anyone else. Ruined my anniversary to be honest….“

“It was a nice experience The cozy dining areas were beautifully decorated. The appetizers were delicious. We had fried green tomatoes and fried pimentos . The food was cooked perfectly. I had the shrimp and grits, my daughter had the chicken and dumplings. They were both very tasty.“

“Can't wait to visit! Looks amazing!“

“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.“

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

“Had to check this place out. Read about them in the local City Paper. The sandwich options are plentiful, atmosphere cozy and the staff are very friendly. The sandwiches though 😳. You won’t disappointed. Glad we’ll have “The Pass” in Mt. Pleasant soon.
Three thumbs up and 5 Stars from the Mrs. and me :)“

“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.“

“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!!! 😊“

“The best empanadas, ice cream and customer service!! We love the beef and ham/cheese flavors.“

“Had a great experience and stay… we enjoyed our time at the pool bar. Bartenders were very engaging and friendly.. great group and they make great drinks. Cozy and quaint.. just wish they played music around pool and not just on the bar side.“

“Great food and fast service!!“

“The hibachi cooking is fun. There were children at our table.“

This place is a Charleston Gem and I pray this little place continues to Thrive and Prosper. Charleston Loves You❤️❤️“

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

“I am staying here now. The staff is excellent to say the least. But we had some issues with our room when we got here. They did try to accommodate us. They knew it was our anniversary and i am surprised that not even a complimentary dinner or even a bottle of wine was given. This year s not a cheap hotel so when spending this type of money to offer a dinner or a bottle of wine would have been nice.“

“Yummy food served up hot and quick. Super excellent service.“

“Food was excellent! Our server was excellent as well. We will be back!“

“Amazing food! Great environment!“

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

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

“Hands down this place is a secret hidden gem in West Ashley. Stopped by for a quick lunch after taking my pup to Ackerman park. Great prices, great food and great service! Definitely was not disappointed and will be letting everyone I know about this amazing Greek restaurant!“

“The food and the service were great.“

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

“We held a blood drive today and were treated to lunch here. The staff is just as amazing as the food. The decor is both inviting and upbeat. I will definitely be returning!!!!!
From the three of us working the drrive, thank you so much for the delicious food and smoothies. You're all incredible!!!“

“Went there for lunch and it was absolutely delicious! They let us taste the sauce before ordering which I really appreciate! The portions are decent and I made my own bowl for $16 (Tempura shrimp, carrots, cucumber, edamame, seaweed salad, [ginger sauce of some type I forgot], and teriyaki sauce). It tasted super good fresh and decent after 5 hours (I had to take it home because I couldn’t finish it). I would love to come back and try the noodles because the broth smelled sooooooo good!“

“Had the steak & cheese eggrolls, pulled pork nachos and pineapple passionfruit marg. All so good! Would def come back and recommend to others! 😁“

“D’Al’s never disappoints. Have been coming for the last decade and still remains our favorite pizza place in charleston. Addicted to the chauncinator“

“Blūm is one of our favorite hidden gems downtown. A quiet, roomy coffee shop with plenty of space to spread out and get work done. The coffee is always delicious, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. We love meeting clients here because it’s easy to focus, and the parking situation (rare for downtown!) is super convenient. It’s the perfect mix of cozy and professional.“

“The service, food and atmosphere are outstanding.“

“I like their vinyl nights on Tuesday. DJ playing records and usually a record vendor too.“
