Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • 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

    A cult favorite — lightly-battered, crispy fried chicken that pairs with champagne.
