How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Fish Fry
Leon's Fish Fry brings catfish, clam strips, shrimp and hush puppies together, with pea salad available alongside. The King Street oyster shop also serves fried chicken and oysters.
Picks from Charleston Magazine and Charleston City Paper
- Seafood
A former auto-body shop on upper King that reopened in 2014 as an oyster-and-fried-poultry counter and became a neighborhood constant. The kitchen turns out charbroiled oysters, fried seafood platters and fried chicken, and the MICHELIN Guide named it a Bib Gourmand in 2025. It also lands on the Charleston City Paper Top 50 and the Post and Courier oyster guide. Order the charbroiled oysters and a bird, and sit out back if the weather holds.
Picks from The Post and Courier, Charleston City Paper, and Garden & Gun
- Fried Chicken
This Upper King spot, opened in an old body shop by restaurateur Brooks Reitz, pairs lightly battered fried chicken with chargrilled oysters, peel-and-eat shrimp and a crab Louie salad. Charleston Magazine's dining guide calls the chargrilled oysters a trademark. Order the fried chicken alongside a half-dozen chargrilled oysters and a glass of the rose on tap.
