“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. :)“

This place is a Charleston Gem and I pray this little place continues to Thrive and Prosper. Charleston Loves You❤️❤️“

“I'm still pinching myself after dining at Grandma's Kitchen! This soul food haven is a game-changer, and I'm not just saying that because the food is out of this world (although it totally is). The real magic happens when you step inside and are enveloped by the warmth and love of the three grandmas running the show. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The grandmas greeted us with big hugs and smiles, and it felt like we were sitting down to Sunday dinner at our own grandma's house. The service was top-notch - attentive, friendly, and with just the right amount of sass. But let's get to the food - oh. my. goodness. The fried chicken was crispy perfection, the mac and cheese was creamy heaven, and the collard greens were so tender they just melted in my mouth. And don't even get me started on the cornbread... it was like a taste explosion in every bite. What truly sets Grandma's Kitchen apart, though, is the love and care that goes into every dish. You can taste the difference when food is made with heart, and these grandmas clearly pour their hearts and souls into every meal. If you're looking for a dining experience that'll make you feel like you're sitting on the porch with your favorite grandma, look no further than Grandma's Kitchen. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“Mike’s Charleston Historic Supper Club and the Colonial Tavern Table are the most unique food tours available in Charleston. Mike combines his love of history with delicious food. 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!!“

“I threw a surprise birthday party with 30 guests. It was terrific. The upstairs had plenty of room and seating for everyone. The food was excellent with a great selection. Staff and bartenders were very friendly, accommodating and professional. My guest could mingle upstairs or go outside and listened to a very good band. I absolutely recommend having your next gathering here!“

“Stopped in at Dog and Duck in Charleston and had the fish and chips—absolutely fantastic! The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside and flaky inside, and the fries were golden and seasoned just right. Great pub-style atmosphere with friendly service and a relaxed vibe. Definitely a spot I’ll be visiting again next time I’m in town!“

“We had lunch at the Square Onion today, we loved our turkey sandwiches made with Brie, so tasty, with the most fabulous bread. Very friendly, professional staff. Next time we are in town, lunch at the Square Onion. Carole, Bluffton, S.C.“

“Will start by saying we have enjoyed the Swamp Fox very much, particularly for brunch. Last night was part of restaurant week so it was very busy and service was slow despite the wait staff trying to be attentive. Long wait for drinks, long wait for meals, had to ask for table to be cleared after dinner with dirty dishes staring at us for much too long. 3 hours for a typical 1.5 hour dinner. Fortunately we were catching up with friends and had plenty of time to talk! Waitress recognized the constant delay and apologized. Normally they are not as busy but last night, it showed.“
