2025 Charleston Recommendations

I get asked all the time about where to go in Charleston and truthfully, you can rarely go wrong!  There are so many amazing spots that we love but here is my list of true favorites!  I am sharing some phone pics if I have them of each place too!

 

Sorelle

I have to kick this list off with our favorite spot!  Amazing Italian food. Takeaway has great pastries and gelato too!  We go here all the time.  Cannot recommend it enough!  We had brunch there recently and it was top notch!

 

Lewis bbq

This is a spot I go to ALL the time.  We have been big BBQ fans and literally tried every Barbecue restaurant in town.  Lewis always wins, hands down!  We love their Brisket, but everything is amazing!

 

 

Husk-

Need a reservation. But well worth it!  I love their brunch menu- especially their burger!  IT is hands down my favorite burger out there!  SO good!

 

Post house inn
Nestled in the old village in mount pleasant, this spot is great! I love their burger too.  We also love walking in the Old Village after eating.  Such a fun little spot!

Saltwater cowboy

This place is known for its Waterfront dining views! Go at sunset! We love the CreekWhacker and they have pretty good food too!

Hanks

Our favorite seafood spot. Make a reservation.  This place is incredible.  I am not a big seafood fan as Travis, but their chicken was DIVINE!  We will keep coming back to this one!

 

 

 

Sullivans fish camp

Their hush puppies are the best!!  Seriously I could go just for them!  Love their little outdoor dining but the inside is super cute as well!

A few others-

Carmellas

Dessert spot and coffee downtown!  We love going there for a late night treat!

Park and grove-

I recommend their brunch! I had their pancakes and I cannot say enough about them.  So good!

Halls chophouse

If you want a fancy steak dinner, this is the go to place.   Their dessert is pretty awesome too!

Uncork

I love this little spot!  I love their Charcuterie especially!  Such a fun spot for girls night too!

Jack’s Cosmic Dogs-

We love popping in there for an old fashioned treat of their brown cow.  It is amazing!

 

Some of our favorite things to do around town:

– Walking downtown.  I love the Pineapple Fountain, all the gorgeous homes on Chalmers, Tradd and Bay Street too!

-Sullivans Island for the beach.  Highly recommend the views at Fort Sumter for sunset!  SO pretty!

-Palmetto Island County Park- beautiful trails, bike rentals, observation tower and more.

– Plantations- I love Magnolia, Boone Hall, and Middleton.

– Hampton Park- another beautiful spot to walk or ride bikes!

– Pitt Street Bridge-  We love walking there as well!

– Angel Oak Tree-  I think everyone should visit atleast once!  It is massive and stunning!

– There are TONS of walking tours downtown that are great too!
