It's a simple, but beautiful space and the coffee is on point. Don't think, just go.
The beans used here are mostly from Africa. The gorgeously landscaped patio with boxwood hedges and outdoor seating is quintessential Charleston.
Stop by Kaminsky's after dinner or late-night for a huge dessert selection and a fully-stocked bar. Because nothing goes better with chocolate cake than booze.
Run to the county clerks office before coming here so you can have a marriage certificate ready when you propose to these biscuits.
We went on Sticky Bun Sunday and it was almost as holy as a Sunday church service
Highly recommend any savory flavors they have, to switch things up. Yazoo Sue, for instance. Hints of rosemary, cayenne pepper and porter beer.
Great inventive sandwiches. The Mexi BLT was delicious with guac and corn purée. The cantaloupe is so sweet and a great side or dessert. Try the roasted veggie or roast beef sammies too!
The founders of the Charleston Beer Exchange created this hip gastropub, where the buzz surrounding its selection of rare and impressive beers is well deserved.
Go for Mike's Famous Duck Club. The ingenious combination of duck confit and apple-smoked bacon cannot be overstated. Plus, duck fat fries. [Eater 18 Member] Read more.
Perfect for low country food in a Victorian atmosphere! Try the sherried crab soup and the banana pudding!
Brock isn't reinventing Southern food. As a result, he (and Husk) has become a torchbearer for an honest style of home cooking that many of us never tasted until now.
Shrimp & Grits are to die for. They're also Gluten-Free friendly. Creme Brulee is amazing. Emily the server was awesome. Definitely a great Southern kitchen treat.
The Macintosh is a favorite for brunch, dinner and their Bacon Happy Hour (named after chef Jeremiah Bacon), where a small, pork-y dish is $5. [Eater 18 Member]
Come with a friend for brunch and go splitsies on the Shrimp and Grits and the Charleston Nasty Biscuit.
Insanely good. Redid an old bank building. Get the crab toast, tuna poke, black bass, and acorn squash farroto. I could eat here every night.
The menu is limited, but you are going to Bowens for seafood. Order the shrimp or the oysters and you can’t go wrong. [eater 18 Member]
Steak is absolutely delicious. It is pricey so we only go on special occasions but we are NEVER disappointed. Lobster mac and cheese & truffle fries are soooo good to have as sides.
The cocktails here are legit with a dedication to make everything just so, including a special ice machine, locally sourced ingredients and housemade syrups. Read more.
Order a beer flight. Make friends with the waiters. Appreciate the beer man cave style decor.
Order anything with the local spirits company, High Wire. I recommend the Moscow Mule with Hat Trick gin.
Great wine bar, really friendly and unassuming staff, good wine selection. Great place to while away the afternoon.
Very unique bar that is mostly open-air. Get one of their delicious whiskey, rum, or vodka punch concoctions if you want to get wasted on the cheap.
Every Saturday, hundreds of regional producers gather to sell fresh fruit, vegetables, and artisanal goods. Pick up the Wild Boar black-truffle cheese from Charleston Artisan Cheesehouse.
Great place to support locals. Vendors change daily and the night market is cool to experience as well. Could spend hours looking at all the amazing work.
A baseball stadium known for delicious grub! Try the Riverdogs Homewrecker Hot Dog. --Adam Richman, Man v Food Nation
Great place to relax and enjoy a break from the city. Walk on the pier, swing on the swings, play in the fountains!
It's always a toss-up: The classic pork trifecta pie or try something off the ever-changing seasonal menu? The answer? Get one of each, with a crisp, balanced salad is in the mix. [Eater 18 Member]
Southern Living recommends: "The Eye-Opener ($8). The specialty burger combines the best of the cow and chicken, using the gloriously runny yolk of a sunny-side-up egg as a silky sauce." Read more.
