Restaurants in Charleston, SC

Charleston takes its restaurants seriously and books up accordingly. Reservations are the difference between eating where you planned and eating wherever has room.

Worth knowing

Book well ahead for weekend evenings — this is not a walk-in city at dinner.
Lunch is the underrated meal here; the same kitchens are far easier to get into.
Upper King has the highest concentration; the lower peninsula skews older and more formal.
