The best grits you'll ever have, prepared in ways you never imagined. High-end Charleston restaurants. Outdoor cafés. Fresh from the dock seafood.

Whether it is seafood, barbecue, fine dining, or something else you crave—Charleston got it covered and in quantity. For years now it's known for its dynamic mix of offerings—classic Southern food, like Lowcountry cuisine and barbecue done at peak levels, alongside fresh Eastern seafood, and innovative kitchens with creative chefs who redefine what we think of as farm-to-table cooking.
