We lived in the Charleston, SC area for 10 years. One thing is for sure, the food NEVER disappoints. Noting against chains, but I love local spots for several reasons. The menu changes, and my money is supporting families.

Leon's Poultry & Oyster Shop (Downtown)

I didn't discover Leon's until a few years ago, but the food and atmosphere are the best! Get the 2 piece white meat with black-eyed pea salad and hush puppies as a side. Thank me later.

Nigel's Good Food (North Charleston)

The BEST fried porkchop I've ever had. (Sorry mom). The fixins' are stellar. Baked macaroni & cheese, okra soup, lima beans, rice and gravy, and their Kool-Aid....YES KOOL-AID!

Early Bird Diner (West Ashley)

The wait is worth is for breakfast or brunch.  My favorite for breakfast is a dish called The Mess. It's only a few minutes from downtown and the beach.
