Fodor's Expert Review Heart Woodfire Kitchen
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
On James Island, Heart Woodfire Kitchen turns out perfect skewered meats, roasted vegetables, and flatbreads aboard its open-flame rotisserie and wood-fired oven. Housed inside a former burrito joint in the suburbs, the restaurant's best feature is its outdoor patio. The pricing—cocktails included—checks in at a reduced rate compared with the rest of downtown, allowing a stylish but affordable night out. The heavenly cheeseburger, on a bun baked on the premises, remains one of the best around. The sides are tasty and seasonal, including kale, grits, apple-celery root, and creamed mustard greens.
