50 Best American Restaurants near Hanahan

“Always a good time here! The bartenders always happy and having fun! I can't think of a single thing on the menu that isn't great, but the pizzas are the best! They have a fun, large out door bar where the fur babies are welcome! Bathroom is always clean too!“

“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.“

“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. :)“

“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.“

“Anniversary weekend trip to a family owned condo to find the A/C quit working sometime Saturday. Was able to get a technician out but he wouldn’t arrive till 6pm, reservations were at 815pm. Around 745pm I realized we weren’t going to make it. I called the Post House and they told me we see yall are celebrating an anniversary. When I confirmed they said don’t worry we will have a table for you whenever yall get here. We finally arrived at 845pm and they clearly saved a table for us during a busy Saturday. The cherry on top was an anniversary card signed by some of the staff. It was a special night with a lovely meal and excellent service. Well done Post House you now have become our favorite restaurant in South Carolina.“

“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.“

“Boxcar Betty’s absolutely exceeded my expectations! Everything we ordered was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The chicken tenders were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. The smash burger was cooked just right with an incredible flavor. The fries were crispy and delicious, the sweet potato fries had the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch, and the fried pickles were some of the best I’ve had. The fried green tomatoes were another standout—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A special shout-out to District Manager Kim R. for taking the time to check on us and ensure everything was perfect. It’s clear that strong leadership creates an outstanding team and an exceptional dining experience. If you’re looking for delicious food and top-notch customer service, Boxcar Betty’s is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal served by people who truly care about their customers!“

“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!“

“An entertaining chef, creative and exceptionally well-executed cuisine, a pleasingly funky ambience, and the delight at watching a fine chef at work, which equals a terrific experience.“

“Little Jack's Tavern was such a treat! The staff was attentive without hovering. The seating was intimate and I really felt as if I was dining in the 1940's.

The cauliflower appetizer, house salad, crabs cakes, and cocktails were all delicious and expertly prepared. I wasn't expecting the cauliflower to be my favorite item and will dream of it until I can visit again (soon!). Easily shareable between three or four.

The crab cakes were tender, the salad crisp.

The cocktails - Corpse Reviver and Pims Cup - perfection! So many places have no idea how to mix or balance cocktails anymore. It is an art form and a mastered art form at Little Jack's Tavern.

Excellent experience on all front - atmosphere, service, quality, quantity.

We will be back and I'm getting that sweet little corner table for me and my sweetheart!“

“Amazing food, cozy atmosphere and wonderful. friendly staff!! Highly recommend!!“

“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!“

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!!! 😊“

“Loved the “mock tail” Great thought process We enjoyed the Hawaiian theme. The food was delicious, but my spouse thought the pork entree needed “flavor”. Portions are perfect. We noticed students with smiles and needed information about menu items. Very clean and look forward to returning“

“This is Trident Tech's culinary school restaurant. The service is superb. The food is very good, but can be a little spotty. Their menus vary from week to week, so be sure to see what their menu will be before making reservations. Expect to pay less than half what you would pay for a comparable meal downtown.“

“one of the few places that everyone in my family will eat without complaining! burgers are delicious and the atmosphere is great! Only suggestion i would make is to PLEASE bring back the truffalo wings 🙏🏻 I could make a meal out of those lol“

“Having frequently visited Charleston my entire life, I can confidently say the Dewberry is the finest hotel in Charleston. From the amazing room decor, the quaint lobby cocktail bar, to the breathtaking rooftop bar, you have everything you could want in a hotel. Couple that with absolutely delightful and accomodating staff with the utmost Southern hospitality and you will find it is likely one of the best hotels you have ever visited anywhere.“
