New American Restaurants near North Charleston, SC

“Great food! You can tell the products are fresh and made with pride! Had the tuna eggroll special, best one I've had! Sat outside but fans were on and was a nice night. Service was good. Will go back when visiting SC again!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Junction Kitchen, and I must say, it was an experience worth raving about. From their delectable Biscuits & Gravy with Sweet Tea Fried Chicken to their commendable commitment to inclusivity within the LGBTQ+ community, this establishment impressed me on multiple fronts. However, what truly stood out was their unparalleled customer service. Upon encountering a slight delay in preparing my order due to an issue with the gravy, the kitchen manager personally approached me to explain the situation. Not only did he offer alternative menu options to expedite my meal, but he also went above and beyond by ensuring I was comfortable during the brief wait. Despite my reassurance that there was no rush on my end, he generously provided pastries to enjoy while patiently waiting for my dish to be ready. It's rare to encounter such transparency and genuine concern for customer satisfaction in the restaurant industry. The Junction Kitchen exemplifies what true hospitality means, setting a standard that many others could learn from. As for the meal itself, it surpassed expectations. The Biscuits & Gravy paired with Sweet Tea Fried Chicken was a delightful combination of flavors and textures, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen staff. Despite the minor delay, the wait was inconsequential compared to the overall dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to The Junction Kitchen left a lasting impression, not only for its exceptional cuisine but also for its unwavering dedication to providing top-notch service to every patron. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend indulging in a meal at this gem of a restaurant.“

“First but not last visit. Valerie was our server and everything was just awesome. I had the yummy chilly chips and buffalo chicken dip. My buddy had the French dip. It was all awesome. The fries are spot on too with their special seasoning. Highly recommend!“

“What a wonderful stay we had at the North Charleston Marriott!! Jessica at the front desk is absolutely incredible!! She was very sweet, professional and accommodating to all the guests…a true gem! Housekeeping also did a great job and we love that they even offer housekeeping since some hotels don’t in these post-Covid days. This hotel is in a great location, just off I-26, close to the outlet stores and restaurants, but far enough away from all the traffic in that area. Our room was a King Junior Suite and it was very spacious, with one and a half bathrooms, and a comfortable couch. Not a lot of drawer storage for clothes (2 small drawers in the desk & 1 under the safe), but there was plenty of room to hang clothes to the left of the closet, so it all worked out. You can also hang some things in the small armoire/closet, but the items hang front to back, so it’s a little difficult to access things. The safe was plenty roomy and the bath and bed linens were nice. The bed is softer than our bed at home, but we both slept pretty well. We loved the walk-in shower and the water pressure and temperature were truly great! The bathrooms had built-in night lights behind the mirrors and the bed had this really cool ambient lighting above/behind the headboard that could be turned on or off. Lots of extra seating in this room with several chairs and the L shaped couch. The tv selection was just “ok”, in part because several of the channels, such as HGTV, did not come in. The wifi worked well at times, but no so well at other times. The AC worked well and there were plenty of places to charge your electronic devices. We ate dinner at the restaurant and Kelly & Becca were our severs on different nights. The food at the restaurant, HC Provisions, was excellent!! We had the wings, the chicken and waffles, the Caesar salad and the housemaid chips and they were all excellent! This hotel seems to be a popular venue for events. There was one going on Saturday night and we noticed several business functions going on during our stay as well. Crystal and Sheila were in the M Club Lounge at breakfast time and they were both great and did a great job of keeping everything well stocked. The breakfast offered scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes, yogurt, cereal, muffins and pastries, hot oatmeal and biscuits and gravy till 10am. During the rest of the day, you could pop in for coffee, water, sodas and juices as well as snacks such as chips and cookies. The evening offered hors d’oeuvres but the one night (Monday) we arrived at 7:20pm, everything was already being cleaned up, so I guess we missed it. The outdoor area offered a pool and two fire pit areas which would be great to sit and catch up with friends and family if you were here with a small group. We had such a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel and we would stay here again.“

“Great atmosphere. Delicious food. But by all means don’t request a custom order. Requested pickles to be on my sandwich. Got them on the side. Extremely difficult to add pickles to a grilled sandwich. I was told that the owner Tim would berate my review. Come on with it Tim. Outside of this, food is fire!“

“The restaurant was very clean. The staff was very friendly, courteous and very professional. My husband had the Cobb sandwich which was huge with plenty of meat. It came with french fries that were nice and crispy. I had the wings which were very good and the other people in our party had a flatbread which they stated was wonderful. Thank you“

“First time eating at The Dig, I had the Dig Scholar Burger and it was one of the best burgers I had in a long time. On top of that our serve William was great. He was on top of everything and had great recommendations, while providing us with details of later on events at The Dig.“

“I didn’t even eat here. Let me start from the beginning of my evening. My girlfriend and I attempted to go to three different restaurants and all of them had an hour and a half wait after finally finding a place, We had our dinner. Dinner was finished around 7:30 and as soon as I finished it, I had to poop. I held that poop until we finished our ghost tour 3 1/2 hours later, I tried to go to multiple different places all of which the restroom was absolutely disgusting. I tried to go to a Circle K, which was closed. And finally Old Faithful. I stopped at the Waffle House. The beautiful yellow sign shimmered in the distance, like a medic in the heat of battle. The bathroom was absolutely pristine. The cold water was like a glacial spring, and the hot water was hotter than I’ve ever experienced. The soap was full and it smelled good too. The toilet was just freshly cleaned. I’ve never experienced a more inviting toilet in the moment and I don’t know if it was from desperation or just pure beauty. I didn’t even eat here and I was treated better than I was the entire evening by the town of Charleston. This waffle House made my crappy/un crappy day (no pun intended) a little bit better. I wish there was a special option for six stars for my circumstance. From 16 and hung over to 27 and needing to poop Waffle House has never let a homie down….“

“food always is the same.“

“We are on the bar side of Lowland and it was quite loud and less romantic than I hoped, but the food was outstanding. It took longer than expected but they were communicating with us and they comped the drinks. Our server seemed rushed and slightly annoyed at times but she was very busy so that's probably why. Overall we enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back.“

“Great food; great service“

“Tried and true for 20 years. Absolutely best restaurant in Charleston. Food always incredible, service always perfect.“

“The staff was amazing. It was our anniversary and the GM personally came to our table and poured us a glass of Champaign to celebrate. They also gave us a free dessert. The hostess, wait staff, and GM all took time to wish us a happy anniversary. The food was amazing as well! Overall it was a great dining experience!“

“My wife and I had dinner with four other friends here. It was outstanding. The food was over the top delicious and paired well with all the wines. Definitely one of the best places for dinner in the Charleston area. Michelin star worthy for sure!“

“Always amazing!! Cooking class with Chef Tyler was so fun!! Zero George is our go to in Charleston!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience from the location to views to service + decor to their amazing food!! Legit Italian items inc homemade pasta & Ventian whitefish pate. Fantastic place, great vibes. Highly recommend! Perfect place to celebrate an early birthday lunch, too 😋 Reservations a good idea...“

“The food is wonderful. Perfect experience ❤️“

“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👏🏻“

“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.“

“Omg this place is incredibly! I can't wait to go back. A five course meal cooked perfectly. Roasted red pepper soup, shrimp and grits, braised short ribs with the best gravy ever!!! And the dessert.....I didn't want to leave! The vibe.....loved it. Amazing chefs!“

“Excellent service! The atmosphere was an amazing place to grab a drink and/or eat for the evening while socializing.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Had a baby shower here-food was delicious, outdoor space and room was amazing! Ethan and Chris were absolutely amazing servers and beyond accommodating! Amazing experience!“

“Great meal and awesome waitress“

“All of the food was good, to be honest it was my Mom’s favorite, and the service was unanimously good. I unfortunately once again to not remember the servers name, seems to be a personal problem. That being said, I thought the steak was not as good and a bit pricier than some of the other spots we tested in Charleston. I would go, but it wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice“

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

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

“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 atmosphere!“

“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.“

“We've driven by Burtons a thousand times and never stopped. Then we actually moved to Mt. Pleasant and live close to the restaurant. We have become regulars there.....food is delicious, staff is friendly and service is great. Whether you sit at the bar or bring your family to the table, everything is consistent and delicious!“

“I found out about Southbound, through my job. I had to go do some work there, and found the owner and everyone there, super friendly. Most people at restaurants ignore working people while they are there. As my 42nd anniversary was quickly approaching, I decided to give this place a try. Some of my past picks, have not been the best. Southbound cleared EVERY hurdle I have about restaurants. From the moment we approached the restaurant, great service began! While coming thru the gate, the hostess yelled out, "HEY LARRY" and then said, "This must be your beautiful wife"! Like CHEERS, it felt great to go somewhere, "Where everybody knows your name" We were seated and got to view the open fire oven. I had dropped off 42 roses the week before for them to put on our table, for my wife. Tropical storm Debbie, and downtown flooding prevented us from going exactly on our anniversary. I was worried that store bought roses, would not last thru the weeklong delay, Joel assured me everything would be taken care of, and not to worry. As we were seated, there on the table, sat 42 roses. Fresh, and arranged with baby breath flowers included. I was told the young lady with the hostess had arranged them. They were gorgeous! They also had an anniversary card on the table from them, not something I had dropped off. The service was tremendous, the food indescribably outstanding! I have only had steak Tar Tar once before in my life, and was greatly afraid to try it again, as the first time was awful. It was superb! They take great pride in the presentation of their food products. I felt like I was in an episode of Master Chef. We had the steak, as well as the Sea bass, okra, corn, sweet potatoes, and the Caramel cake. Everything absolutely wonderful! This was a truly wonderful and memorable dining experience!! I would give 100 stars, and a Siskel and Ebert two thumbs up! There was only one thing I was disappointed about. No sweet tea! Were In Charleston SC, no sweet tea. Everything else totally made up for it though. The staff even had everyone present sign a menu, wishing us a happy anniversry1 I will most definatly go there again for a special occasion. Thanks to Andrew, Joel, and the entire staff, for making this night special!!“

“I truly had a great experience this afternoon at lunch“

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

“best drag show/brunch EVER! and our server Kahlil was amazing! 🤩“

“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!“

“I am not one of those people who post my daily activity or what food I'm eating or rate the places I eat..until now.. I'm from New York so I've had my share of diner muffins.. I go out to breakfast 7 days a week x 365 days a year .. have had my morning meal in several South Carolina establishments..you get the picture. Sunrise Bistro recently hired a a baker, Maddy. I have had a blueberry, lemon, cranberry/orange and nutella/raspberry muffin..I can say without hesitation these are by far the best muffins I have ever had. Maddy is even going to indulge me with a bran muffin. THANK YOU SUNRISE BISTRO .. THANK YOU MADDY!!“

“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!“

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

“The only place to watch a game!“

“We’ve been to Belmont every single night of our holiday, which probably tells you everything you need to know!

It was originally recommended to us by the team at Uncorked, and we’re so glad we took their advice. The cocktails are excellent, but what really makes this place special is the staff. A special shout-out to Doug and Murat who treated us so well throughout our visits and always had the best recommendations.

We loved grabbing a spot by the window to people-watch while enjoying a drink. The atmosphere is fantastic. It’s not an overly young crowd, but it’s still lively and full of energy. The music is great and at the perfect volume, so you can actually have a conversation without shouting.

The food menu looks amazing, and we’ll definitely be back to try more of it. Belmont has become our favorite bar in Charleston. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and even better people. Highly recommend!“

“Unique cocktails; friendly knowledgeable waitstaff“

“Holy crap, Red Palm’s food is fantastic. Service is top notch. Highly recommend . Definitely a must stop in Charleston“

“Food was excellent, drinks were wonderful and the atmosphere is classy. Steak was cooked perfectly and portions were appropriate. Service was top notch including recommendations. We were staying at The Charleston Place so were also given suggestions and information on the other onsite dining establishments. Greatly enjoyed our time and will certainly be returning.“

“Absolutely delightful! I had the cod sandwich and sweet potato fries, it was the BEST fish sandwich I’ve ever had! My husband and children also loved their meals! $71 for 4 meals is NOT a bad price at all! 10/10 recommend!“

“Jenn was the best waitress I have ever had and I go to restaurants for fun. She was caring and was passionate! The buffalo Brussels sprouts were amazing and the shrimp Gnocchi was to die for!!! 10/10 would recommend and ask for Jenn!!!“

“Spent many late afternoons with Ralph at this great eatery Great Food and great customer service“

“Our food was delicious. If we visit again from Missouri we will definitely be coming back. Staff was friendly service was great“
