50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Daniel Island

“My daughter and I had an amazing dinner last night! Our view was perfect and our server, John was honestly one of the very best servers we’ve ever had anywhere! I highly recommend this top notch restaurant. Request John if you want to be treated like royalty! We will be back for sure!“

“The family and I enjoyed our trip in today! The pizzas, Caesar salad, and meatball sandwich were delicious. My husband also enjoyed a loaded smoothie. The chai was ok but I wouldn’t get it again. Love the atmosphere though! Very cute space with outdoor dining. We’ll be back!“

“Came here on vacation from NJ and knowing that the Chinese food is horrible in SC compared to up north but have this place a try because of the reviews and hands down 10 out of 10 from the ambiance to the service and the food !
Best wonton soup I’ve ever had in my life! 👌“

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

“Great experience,fast friendly service“

“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. :)“

“Terrific food. Always prepared to perfection. Everyone at the restaurant is friendly and helpful and concerned. I believe this is one of the best restaurants in the Charleston area.“

“I will be recommending this spot to anyone looking for a great outcoor space for brunch. We came with a group of 6, and were able to make a reservation two weeks before to accommodate on a Sunday morning.

I HIGHLY suggest to make a reservation even if it is a smaller party. A lot of parties came as walk-in's and were told pretty long wait lines despite it being before 12pm.

As for the food. 10/10. We shared the cinnamon roll amongst us al, it was the perfect dessert before our main items.

I had the fried chicken and it was so flavorful and very rich.

My husband had the huevos rancheros, and barely shared with me because he loved it so much.

Shocked I managed to get photos before we started eating.“

“Hands down the best food and best server we have ever had. I can’t remember his name but his wife works there as well. I ave recommended anyone that is visiting the area to go there for the food ,the service We had shrimp and grits (best in the country ) grilled shrimp and Mac & cheese fried okra and the key lime beignets 🤤🤤🤤🤤all the food looked good that we saw come by“

“Delicious meal & friendly staff“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We hosted our daughter and son in law's wedding dinner reception. We live in Virginia and planning this event from two states away was daunting, but Eli made planning flawless and easy, answering every nervous mother of the bride question promptly with so much interest and attention to detail. We had some food allergies that were handled with ease. The food was delicious, the private dining area was perfect, the patio cozy. The service was impeccable. This was such a memorable experience from planning to the bride and groom's send off. Perfect in every way!“

“What an amazing place! Went without reservations..told them it was my 70th birthday! Got a great table for 2 in back dining room…food was amazing! Our waiter Brian was the best! When I was disappointed that the didn’t have an apple dessert I wanted he had someone go across the street to get me one with a candle on it! And Josh brought us a glass of champagne… they didn’t know us …just met us.. and treated us to make my night extra special! Try High Cotton you will love it! ( we had the Filet and crab cakes)“

“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….“

“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!“

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

“Me and my daughter had been traveling all night (and looked like we had been). We stopped here because we were starving and needed to kill time until we could check into our hotel. The staff was so friendly to us. I felt like we were under dressed (it was Easter) but no one seemed to judge us for it. As for the food - amazing!!!!! I got the fried artichoke sandwich and it was sooooo good. The fries were also very good. This place has such a good vibe. I wish we were in town longer so we could enjoy it again.“

“I would definitely recommend S.N.O.B. for the quality of their food only. My friends and I were there on March 24, 2025, during an unexpected cold snap. We're from Florida and the weather was cold, windy and brutal. The four of us were seated at a table that was almost smack dab in front of the entrance door. Thus, people were constantly coming in and out. The manager should have had enough forethought to not place a table there, let alone sit people there in low fifty degree weather and high winds. We just wanted to get our food and get out.“

“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.“

“Home team was a pleasure to work with! Great with responding and getting answers to me quickly, they arrived on time to cater a wedding I coordinated, set up on time, and the food was delicious! Extremely friendly and easy to work with staff who were very helpful! As a planner I appreciate a great catering team and they’ve got it! Highly recommend!“

“You have to seat yourself. When we went it was quite busy so we weren’t sure if we’d get ok seating or not. There was a counter for standing space.

Portions were small given the price tag. The peanut milk was strange but good to try.

It was quite loud though and there was a DJ even though it was only 2pm so difficult to talk.

Nearest parking is at the garage.“

“I was visiting my daughter in Charleston and we had dinner, the drink menu had great choices and I particularly enjoyed the Gold Rush, the crab stuffed cannoli appetizer was the perfect starter before the outstanding ribeyes we both had! The real star of the show here is the Assistant Manager Jacqueline, she was very accommodating and her smile and pleasant demeanor made you feel right at home. I will be back every visit to Charleston in the future, well done👏🏻“

“Fabulous. And if you're impatient, the sro.. best service in the house!“

“Amazing food and drinks! Stopped while passing through and highly recommend. Delicious!“

“the food and the staff are all amazing! thoroughly enjoyed it!!“

“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“

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

“What these sandwiches may lack in size, they more than make up for in the amount and quality of fillings. We got the Italian boy and girl sandwiches and both were incredible!! Delicious, fresh, and so filling. A must-try sandwich spot in Charleston.“

“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.“

“Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 We pride ourselves on finding the perfect breakfast spot any time we are out of town... and Vicious Biscuit did not disappoint 🙌“

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

“The food was pretty good.“

“My husband got the mint chocolate chip frappe and LOVED it! And he’s picky! I got the iced dirty chai tea latte with cold foam and I’ve had many before, and it was not great. Tasted like cinnamon watered down milk and didn’t get cold foam at all so wasn’t too thrilled given the price I paid for it.“

“Yummy vegan options!, great service, and cute decor.“

“Can't wait to visit! Looks amazing!“

“Weekend live music is unsurpassable“

“Everything was fantastic! From the decor to the menu, the wait staff and of course the food! Truly a wonderful new restaurant for Mt Pleasant with lots of vegan and gluten free options. We were there for dinner tonight and will be back again soon for Lunch! I highly recommend!“

“Some gal pals and I went here the other month and from start to finish it was an absolute delight. As a seasoned veteran of sampling culinary delights I have got to admit it was one of the best meals and experiences of my days. Absolutely no notes.“

“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.“

“We visit Le Farfalle every time we visit Charleston, as it is a tradition for me and my son. We love the food and the atmosphere. We can’t wait to have many more trips together to enjoy there.“

“The best iced ulce de leche latte I have ever had ever OMG The cold foam is home made and is absolutely delicious. Customer service 5 stars and lightbibg fast service. Our lattes were up in 3 minutes. Free parking. Place is spacious inside and modern. Will return.“

“Share Our Suzy is incredibly grateful for Swig & Swine and their continued partnership in presenting our annual Denim & Diamonds event. Their commitment to supporting local breast cancer patients and giving back to the community means so much to our mission. Because of partners like Swig & Swine, we are able to provide real support to women in the Lowcountry during treatment. We are thankful for their generosity and for standing with us year after year.“

“I love the Pour house so much. It is my favorite place to go in Charleston. I have seen so many of my favorite musicians play here and have also gotten to meet a few of them here too. The deck is the best vibe in the world and the inside shows are fantastic. The sound and lighting are done so well and there is even big fans so it doesn’t get too hot and stuffy even when it is packed especially now that they have two garage doors as well. And you can see and here the music from the deck too. They have thoughtfully upgraded this place over the past 10 years I’ve been going here and they have all been excellent positive changes without changing the vibe. 10/10 for me. Love it here.“

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

“Great food and fast service!!“

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