Food Scene

In the land of shrimp and grits, authentic Asian cuisine was pretty hard to come by until the husband-and wife team Joshua Walker and Duolan Li began serving their down-home brand of pan-Asian comfort food. If it’s nice out, secure a seat on the porch and order the Okonomiyaki (griddled Japanese cabbage, kale, and scallion pancakes) to.

Opened in May 2015, this neighborhood hangout already has the feel of a time-tested haunt—with a devoted group of regulars to prove it. Come for the oysters, served raw, Rockerfellered, or char-grilled. But come back for what you’ll most likely see on locals’ plates: flawlessly crisp fried chicken, which gets a little “surf” courtesy of Old Bay

There are forty-one beers on tap (many of them rare), thirty canned and bottled options, rotating house-brewed labels, and even growlers. The menu changes daily but the chef is extremely creative and talented, a local favorite!

Housed inside a former bank, James Beard Award–winning chef Mike Lata’s fancy-but-not-fussy fish house sources briny bounty from the entire Eastern Seaboard, with emphasis on coastal Georgia and the Carolinas. You can sample it all in one of the decadent seafood towers or perch at the raw bar to watch shuckers make quick work of local Capers

Good food made with fresh regional ingredients doesn’t have to come with a fine-dining price tag. Let restaurateur Karalee Nielsen prove it to you at her full-service neighborhood café in Wagener Terrace. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the tucked-away eatery sits adjacent to Hampton Park. Explore the green space—the peninsula’s largest—post meal or hit the café’s grab-and-go grocery to pick up all the fixings.

The uncommon Charleston restaurant and bar with late-night fare that’s not aimed at a college crowd, this Rat Pack–style diner serves breakfast until 1:00 a.m. Classic cocktails such as Corpse Revivers, Sazeracs, and whiskey sours go down just as well with a plate of chicken and waffles at 8:00 p.m. as with steak and eggs.

This former restaurant supply warehouse on Spring Street retains an industrial feel, albeit a dressed-up version with elevated bar food—crispy cauliflower with black pepper aioli, twice-baked potato skins—that flies out of the kitchen. Stiff drinks that range from beer-based cocktails (try the Shandy Shakedown) to pitchers of Rodeo Ruckus (made with bourbon, lemon, basil, and ginger syrup) keep the crowd loose and lively till last.

Laid-back, eclectic and unpretentious, FIG is one part retro diner, one part neighborhood café, and one part elegant bistro. FIG’s food is honest, straightforward and pays homage to the bounty of the Lowcountry region we are so privileged to call home. Using ingredients at their peak and preparing them minimally allows Chef Mike Lata to capture the essence of the season and bring it straight to your.
