50 Best American Restaurants near Hanahan

“Came in for brunch, food was great! Our server Allie was swamped with about 15 tables. She told us she was the only server and thanked us for our patience multiple times. Couldn’t help but notice she was pretty heavily pregnant. We don’t know why she didn’t have more support but we all agree the restaurant should be grateful for her“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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👏🏻“

“Great music, happy hour, and staff!“

“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. :)“

“This is the best burger I've had in Charleston. I rate them on the same standard....Meat, American cheese, and bun. Only additions allowed are grilled onions, jalapeños, ketchup and mustard if you partake. Heavys is great but this one wins out based on the burger and better fries (came out piping hot!).“

The food is so good with daily specials and the portions are huge. Great atmosphere and appetizers. I’ve been coming here for twenty years now and never have I been disappointed. Great customer service and ownership.“

“Amazing food. Probably the best old fashioned I’ve had. Our server was awesome and so was the manager. My steak was over cooked and they insisted they get me a new one. The one they brought back out was probably the best steak I’ve had in Charleston. We will be back!“

“My business partner and I had an incredible dining experience at Five Loaves Cafe in Summerville last night. As the owner of Forsh & Lofton Logistics LLC, I have a deep appreciation for businesses that prioritize atmosphere, attention to detail, and a 'white-glove' level of service—and Five Loaves delivered on all fronts. The dinner menu was exceptional, and the ambiance in the historic house provided the perfect sophisticated yet welcoming environment for our meeting. It’s clear the team here holds themselves to a high standard of excellence, from the kitchen to the front of house. Whether you're looking for a top-tier dinner spot or a professional setting for a business meal, this is a Lowcountry gem. We will definitely be back!“

“This is an amazing restaurant! The atmosphere and service is top notch and the chef is amazing. We had the pimento chitin start followed by the fried chicken with cheese Mac and collard greens and finished it off with banana pudding. Simple dishes but to prepare them correctly takes great talent, to prepare them the way they did takes great talent. My compliments to the chef!!!“

“I ate at The Hut for the first time Thursday. The food was amazing.....I had BBQChicken, broccoli cheese rice and collard greens. The servings were very generous and the food......seasoned to perfection....the rice was perfect. And the BBQ Chicken was the best I have every had. Also I had cornbread and for desert chocolate cake. The ladies were very friendly and sitting in the dining room I could sense a feeling of warmth.....Southern Hospitality at its best. They are located off of McMillian Ave in North Charleston. I recommend and suggest that if you want to experience a dining experience like no other head to The Hut. It is a Lowcountry treasure that everyone needs to experience. Best food and service in the Lowcountry!“

Thanks to all! David, Renee, Candice - everyone.“

The historic venue is so unique, the way Mike ties the history of Charleston into the history of the food is so informative and fun. It was also really fun getting ti know the other guests. This is definitely one of the best food experiences offered in Charleston!!“
