Awesome hidden gem in Charleston! Their food is delicious, the restaurant is very cozy and charming (it's an old Charleston house turned into a boutique hotel and restaurant), and their service always excels. Pricey but worth every penny for a special occasion!

This is a Charleston classic. You need to reserve weeks in advance, but if you go to the bar, you can get in pretty easily and try some of their food there. Another tip: they usually do have free tables in the late shifts, like 10pm, if you're willing to stay out late for dinner. Husk is one of Charleston's top restaurants.

Charleston classic, especially for brunch. There's usually a wait, so venture there only if you have time and patience. If you feel like pigging out Southern style, order the "Nasty Biscuit" and the Shrimp & Grits! Can't go wrong with those classics.

This is perhaps one of our favorite places for Lowcountry classics. Favorites are their She-Crab soup, crab cake, and shrimp and grits. Try to get a table in the patio, it's really charming.
