Charleston Restaurant Reviews

View all »

Eating is a serious pastime in Charleston. You can dine at nationally renowned restaurants serving the best of Southern nouveau, or if you prefer, a waterfront shack with some of the best fried seafood south of the Mason-Dixon line.

The local food revolution began in the early 1980s, with the reintroduction of original Lowcountry cuisine onto restaurant menus.
