Best Places to Eat in Charleston, South Carolina
"FIG takes "locally sourced" and "farm-to-table" to an all-new level, using local ingredients at their peak and preparing them minimally to capture the flavor of the season. This laidback bistro’s simple approach is felt in the ambiance with its unpretentious "neighborhood café" vibe."

"A longtime favorite of Charleston diners, Edmund’s Oast is offering some of its most popular dishes to-go, like the until-recently-retired pickled shrimp toast, which is basically what summer in Charleston tastes like. Add on dessert and a bottle of wine for just $20 more, with free delivery via Uber Eats and Grubhub. There’s also a weekday Family Meal special that is enough for “three groups of three” and features 16-piece fried chicken, six sides, two pieces of pie, two 32-oz house beers, and two bottles of wine."

"Edmund’s Oast, located on Morrison Drive, has been a favorite mingling spot for locals since its opening. The tap list runs almost three dozen deep, always with several of EO's original works, which tend to be a mix of American and British styles (their brown ale is a crowd favorite). On the food side, don't expect greasy, typical pub stuff: Edmund’s takes the food just as seriously as the beer, with a highly rated charcuterie program (nearly everything is cured and made in house)."

"Happy hours are serious business in Charleston, and many spots offer oyster- and other food-focused deals. Situated up Meeting Street in an area locals call NoMo ("North of Morrison"), Edmund’s Oast remains a top pick for one of Charleston’s most-diverse and tasty happy hours. It features an ever-changing short list of snacks, cocktails, wine, cider and craft beers available at their bars for just four bucks each from 4:30 p.m."

10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Charleston
"This restaurant's name might be the only underwhelming thing about it. Classic white tiling and rounded windows (not to mention the 22-foot-high ceilings) make for a dynamic backdrop for chef Mike Lata's high-concept oyster hall, where oysters, clams, lobster, and jumbo lump blue crab are whisked right off the raw bar and onto diners' tables, while other dishes, like the signature smoked oysters and yellowfin tuna with house-made potato chips, get just a light touch before they make their way to patrons. If the raw goods don't do it for you, not to worry: warmer choices include New Orleans-style barbecued shrimp and fish head gumbo."

"Located where Cannon ends on King Street, the Ordinary is inside of a 1920s bank. As such, the acoustics aren’t spectacular with so many hard surfaces and high ceilings, but it makes a hip space with such an expansive space with high ceilings, big windows, and a wide bar. This is a great choice for seafood restaurants in downtown Charleston, the oysters at the Ordinary cannot be beat."

8 Charleston pasta restaurants perfect for carboloading before the Bridge Run
"Another respected producer of its own pasta, Lucca swears by semolina flour for every shape it makes, including a spaghettoni prettily blackened by squid ink. While the terrific house-made charcuterie isn’t the ideal choice for an athlete trying to keep his or her hydration levels high, the cozy dining room, situated on a quiet corner of a neighborhood that’s still more residential than restaurant, is easy to enjoy, regardless of what’s ordered. 41-A Bogard St., 843-973-3323, luccacharleston.com"
