About The Swamp Fox Restaurant

The Swamp Fox Restaurant offers delicious food that is worth talking about days later. The She Crab Soup is legendary in Charleston, making it a must-try. Although the decor may feel a bit outdated, the restaurant provides a memorable dining experience. The staff is attentive, professional, and friendly, with the service often praised for being outstanding. Guests have enjoyed dishes like shrimp and grits, poached pear salad, fried oyster sliders, caramelized onion & fig focaccia, and pecan pie, all served in generous portions that many would order again. The ambience is enhanced by live piano music and traditional jazz, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Visitors appreciated the well-prepared and nicely presented food, including the sweet tea brined fried chicken, fresh fish of the day, and the legendary She Crab Soup. The restaurant is a great choice for both special occasions and casual meals in downtown Charleston. While some have noted that service can sometimes be slow, overall, The Swamp Fox remains highly recommended for its quality, friendly staff, and charming ambiance.
