Chow Thai 426 1/2 B Shrewsbury St, Charleston Thai • $$
426 1/2 B Shrewsbury St, Charleston

“We have great Thai options in Northern VA, so I was skeptical, but after reading the reviews and some saying it's the best Thai they've ever had, I had to try it. I got the Su Ko thai noodle soup, and it was delicious. It tasted authentic to me, and if I was in Charleston longer, I would've tried their other dishes. Definitely a thai restaurant worth visiting...”

“Took quite some time to get a table and none of the staff acknowledged our existence for about 30 minutes. But this place came highly recommended so we waited it out.

“What an excellent addition to the downtown restaurant selection!! It’s a quick and easy walk from the Summer St. Parking garage as well as most of the downtown activities!!We went several times after attending children’s story time activities at the library. The food was just as delicious as we expected from the name and we were delighted to see the same menu options. While they don’t offer much for toddlers, they did allow us to share without any issues and the service was great. Checkout was quick and easy with my phone, too! Will surely be going there regularly!!Kid-friendliness: Very roomy environment that provides plenty of room for strollers and high chairs. Servers were excellent with the kids and provided an extra plate without our asking for one.”

Texas Roadhouse 103 RHL Blvd, Charleston Steak House • $$
103 RHL Blvd, Charleston

“The only thing I could critique is our entrées took a long time to the table but the service made up for it. I forgot his name but his daught plays basketball. Amazing and nice guy. The food was on point. They cooked my steak right. They were out of fried pickles a d potatoe skins which could have been fixed by buying pickles and prepping. Potato skins depends on how corporate wants them. Who knows may have been the same with the pickles. So just bump up your ordering a bit.Overall, it was a really wonderful visit.”

“The chicken gyro is hands down the best in Charleston! I was full after only eating 1/2 of it. when I came back to finish it the veggies remained fresh and crisp opposed to most places that welt & become soggy. Even through reheating it still tasted as if it was just made/served 2 thumbs (and all my 8 fingers) up!!!”

Tidewater Grill 1060 Charleston Town Center, Charleston Bar & Grill • $$$
1060 Charleston Town Center, Charleston

“Always great. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Charleston! If you know it you love it ...if you don't you are surly missing out. The menu has changed some over the years but the quality and consistency has not. The Greek Salad Bowl with house made fresh poppy seed rolls are perfect to start. The seafood is reflective of what's in season the catch but if it n doubt the blackened yellowfin tuna steak never disappoints. The steaks are great too, as are the Maryland Crab Cakes. And I can't forget to mention the raw bar where the oysters,shrimp, etc are chillin on ice. I only wish they would put my all time favorite meal back on the menu....the marinated Teriyaki Steak with red potatoes. It was one of a kind and set the bar for what I still to this day expect of steak.”

“The best Brazilian steakhouse I have been to! Definitely try the chicken wings, garlic tenderloin and shrimp. Garlic bread melts in your mouth, grilled pineapple, and rice pudding was worth the price alone. Wendy sat us right away and checked on us continuously. Overall 10/10”

DT Prime Steakhouse 201 Capitol St, Charleston Steak House • $$$$
201 Capitol St, Charleston

“Went to DT Prime the other night. The first thing I noticed is that their square tables are kinda small. We tried the crab bisque and French onion soup. Did not particularly like the onion soup, but the crab bisque was very good. Very small portion though. Their house bread is tasty though. We got the filets. Mine was considerably undercooked, but I just decided to eat it as is. It was good, but not great. Steaks come with one side. Salads are extra. The service was decent. All in all, I’d give it a 3.8. I’m not sure if the high prices are justified there, but it wasn’t bad by any means. Just wasn’t anything to write home about.”

The Chop House 1003 Charleston Town Center, Charleston Steak House • $$$
1003 Charleston Town Center, Charleston

“After so long we FINALLY decided to take a night for ourselves away from the kids. This was our first fine dinning experience at the highly anticipated Chop House in Charleston, WV. We received phenomenal service, and though the wait for our entrees was longer than expected, it was well worth the wait. I enjoyed the lamb chop lollipops with the BEAUTIFUL Beef Wellington, while my wife ordered the Rosemary Chicken. There were a few people that were making a lot of noise and distracting myself and my wife in the dining area, however they were also paying customers just trying to have a good time. I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank you for our lovely server that took care of us this evening! I hope to pay another visit soon!”
