50 Best American Restaurants near South Charleston

“Best Tudors in Kanawha Valley. Biscuits are always fresh and the staff somehow always make me laugh and are very friendly!“

“We ate at the Valentines Dinner last night and enjoyed the food. It was well prepared and the buffet presentation was fine. I have a couple of suggestions for any other higher priced dinners you plan. Wine and other alcoholic drinks should be served in glasses. We got wine in a plastic glass. The waiters were in shorts and jeans. Again this took away from the special occasion this was supposed to be. And someone should point out all the food stations. From the flyer it read like a sit down dinner but was a buffet instead. We missed the salad station and were waiting on desert until someone out where we could get it.“

“Try the honey butter chicken dinner!!“

“Chasime was amazing! She did an amazing job of taking care of our party of 13. She made sure every glass was full and got every bit of our order correct. She was patient with our special order and the kitchen made everything extra tasty. Thank you!!! Great job!“

“Beyond delicious and creative foods, unparalleled service, and great attention to detail. Would recommend this restaurant to absolutely everyone in Charleston!“

“This is a fantastic cafe! Aloha bowl with ahi tuna was delicious. Such a great atmosphere.“

“Laury’s provides a phenomenal experience every time we dine here. This is mine and my husband’s go-to dinner for celebrations, birthdays, or just when we want to ensure we’ll have an amazing meal and enjoy the ambiance. I recommend this restaurant to everyone for the ultimate fine dining experience. Laury’s is by far the best dining experience not only in the Charleston area, but I would go as far to say out of anywhere we have dined. Ever. We travel regularly and are always trying out new restaurants, but nothing compares. We have tried nearly everything on the menu and whether you are ordering their least expensive dish to their most expensive steak, you cannot go wrong. Laury’s is truly the best!“

“We went to the attached bar. I gave the 1 star on food because we arrived just as they were closing the food down and didn't want to bother them by ordering last second. We will try to arrive earlier than 8pm next time so we have time to order and enjoy some food. The drinks were well made and they didn't skimp on the alcohol! They have Karaoke and the DJ is very kind and helps you feel at home when singing. The atmosphere is soft lighting and makes you feel safe and at home. The bartenders were helpful and the male bartender was my ABSOLUTE favorite! He was SO helpful and fun to talk to! The guy that worked as "Bus boy" was SUPER friendly and helpful as well! 10/10 DEFINITELY recommend!

Parking: There is a paid parking lot across the street with plenty of space and a short Walk to the bar and restaurant. Also, very affordable in the evening and weekends.“

“We were hosting a fundraiser for 150 people and knew we needed something special for our first year event. We found EXACTLY what we needed at Thyme After Time Southern Cuisine and Catering. It is truly southern comfort food at its finest! The buffet spread was delicious, but their prosciutto wrapped, asparagus, were so flavorful and the beef and sweet potato skewers were a show stopper! I highly recommend Thyme After Time for your next special occasion. Their staff was friendly professional and really worked hard to create an unforgettable dining experience.“

He remembers what I buy every morning and has it ready and waiting for me. Great customer service from this young man! I’ve had previous experiences at this location that were not so nice and stopped going for a long time. He makes my day a bit brighter. Kudos for such a pleasant person Cold Spot!“

The dressing was seasoned perfectly, and the mac & cheese, greens, and sweet potatoes were absolute treats. I’ll be looking for a regular menu and specials in the future.“

Parking: You are not likely to have parking issues here because it's located in a plaza...Often I see cars parked right up front of the doors so no worries there...“

“My son and I got breakfast here this morning. First time I'd ever tried this place. It did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly. Restaraunt was clean and neat. The food was great. I got a breakfast platter. The biscuits were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The sausage gravy seemed to be made in house with the sausage grease (the best kind.) The sausage we got was perfectly seasoned and the home fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. I would recommend this place if you're in the area or need a break from driving on thr interstate.“

“Always an awesome time at the Eldo! Good people and good food!“

“The prices are WAY too high for the box lunches or I would probably eat here once every week or two. Fortunately, their receipts have promos on them if you complete a survey etc. and they often email promos/coupons. The staff is CLEAN, very friendly and has treated me very well. I am disappointed they discontinued baked beans as a side. The croissants and cookies are especially tasty. Happy to still have this business in our area“

“Been here so many times I can't count but never said anything about my experience. This is by far the best place for Cajun dry rub wings. They are amazing. The ghost pepper burger is great as well. I had the jalapeno cheese sticks for the first time today and I'll never get plain again. I will be back again for sure“

“The Staff is always friendly, I think the problem is MOST PEOPLE, INCLUDING SENIORS THINK THIS SHONEYS IS CLOSED. I HAD SO MANY PEOPLE SAY, THEY ARE STILL OPEN? I SAID YES. SO SHONEYS PLEASE GET THE MESSAGE OUT. THERE ARE A LOT OF SENIOR THAT WOULD COME. SUNDAY I'M SURE YOU WOULD GET A LOT MORE ON SENIOR DAYS AND AFTER CHURCH!!! ADVERTISE. A LOT OF SENIOR ARE NOT ON FACEBOOK. *******“
