Visting the Charleston, SC Area

1. McCrady's
Another year, another excellent vacation meal at McCrady's! This really is a can't-miss place if you're in Charleston, and would be absolutely perfect for a special occasion.
THE DECOR
As far as the dining room went, nothing had really changed since my…More »

McCrady's is possibly my favorite place to eat in Charleston--everything from the food to the… Read more »
2. Fig
I have to say, I really like Fig. If I could only return to one restaurant in Charleston, McCrady's would probably be my pick, but Fig gives it pretty stiff competition. The food is fabulous and more no-frills than most of the other top restaurants…More »
3. Magnolias - Uptown Down South
My family and I have been coming to Magnolia's for several years as part of our annual summer vacation in the area. We've had very good to excellent meals every time--and our most recent visit was no exception! The restaurant has a couple of dining…More »
4. Cru Cafe
We came to Cru Cafe for a lunch date and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The restaurant is located in a converted house, so it's quite small inside. Definitely be prepared for a wait. As a party of two we waited for 5-7 minutes before we…More »
5. Middleton Place
My bf and I arrived at Middleton on a rainy summer day. As a result, we began our visit in the gift shop, which is pretty awesome: there are lot of neat souvenirs, very few of which are junky. Tickets to the grounds were medium-expensive (25$ per…More »
6. Tristan Restaurant
Charleston, SC 29401
(843) 534-2155
Categories:
Seafood,
American (Traditional),
Specialty Food
I've been coming to Tristan annually for about six years (under three different executive chefs) and have consistently enjoyed the experience. My family's most recent visit was no exception: the food was imaginative, the plates were attractive, and…More »
7. South Carolina Aquarium
The South Carolina Aquarium is a neat place for a visit. Sure, it's a bit pricey considering its small size, but I was happy to go once. The majority of the aquarium is a walk through designed to give you a sense of the different aquatic environments…More »
8. Peninsula Grill At Planters Inn
My family came to the Peninsula Grill as part of our summer vacation to Charleston and overall enjoyed the experience. For me, the restaurant is a bit much: many of the servers are strong characters and the portions are quite substantial and heavy on…More »
9. Charleston Tea Plantation
I have to say, I really don't like tea. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my family's trip to the Charleston Tea Plantation. The tours were informative yet interesting and the staff was very friendly.
The property on which the plantation is located is…More »
10. Sticky Fingers Smokehouse
Before I dive into this review, I have a confession to make: I have a major weakness for Sticky Fingers. This place was a staple of lunch in Charleston for my under-age-twelve self during our annual summer vacations. I recently had a chance to return…More »
11. Crave Catering
Crave is a new place located in one of the strip malls near the Kiawah/Seabrook entrance ramps. It's marketed as a combination of catering, take out, and eat in and is definitely a nice addition to the area.
On my family's visit to Crave, we arrived…More »
12. High Cotton
My family's and my latest trip to High Cotton was solidly good, if not particularly remarkable. The dining space consists of three main rooms: two dining rooms and a bar. I haven't spent much time in the bar, so I don't know much about the space…More »
13. Blossom
We came to Blossom for lunch while in the Charleston area and I have to say I really wasn't feeling it. Everything was solidly good, but the food wasn't very interesting or memorable. Maybe it's a better choice for dinner?
The interior of Blossom is…More »
14. Lucy's Red Sky Grill
Lucy's (Red Sky) Grill had traditionally been (to me) one of the better restaurants in the Seabrook-Kiawah area. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was rather disappointing. The food was hit and miss and the service was surprisingly slow,…More »
