  • Southbound

    Southbound

    The hottest seats at this live-fire restaurant surround the oak-fed hearth and grill in the dining room, accented with white marble tables, burnished brass fixtures, and emerald green Moroccan tile. Gems on the menu include the steak tartare served with smoked egg and grilled toast with miso butter, a dry-aged New York strip, and coal-roasted…

  • Republic Garden & Lounge

    In addition to a sizeable cocktail list and bottle service, this King Street disco offers solid food. Think onion rings, wings, cheeseburgers, even salad—plenty to keep any partier fueled.

    This Upper King Street spot serves up a menu that includes pan-seared Atlantic salmon, steaks, and vegetable risotto. Grab a drink on the rooftop bar with a view of seven of the city’s steeples.

  • Revival

    At this sunlit restaurant at The Vendue, classics get a modern spin. Start with the chopped salad, with roasted pimentos, artichokes, shaved red onion, and green olives, adapted from a 1904 World’s Fair recipe. Fish or fowl to follow—and always an eight-ounce filet.

  • Steel City Pizza Co.

    Plop down on the patio post-Sullivan’s Island romp and belly up to the bar, or bring the kids to this spacious pizza joint serving up super pies. If you’re in a different mood, there are also wings, subs, pastas, and even Philly cheese-steaks.

  • Stella’s

    Start your Greek feast with meze (small plates) such as the keftedes (beef and lamb meatballs). Then opt for the pikelia tasting platter tour of five dishes with souvlaki and spanakopita. The grilled psari (whole fish of the day) is a reliably pleasing main.

  • Moe’s Crosstown Tavern

    Barflies won’t want for great food when they hit this spot near Hampton Park. With a fat menu—the burgers are all winners—plus happy hour snack and drink specials weekdays from 4 to 7 p.m., this tavern is a neighborhood favorite.

  • Peninsula Grill

    Thankfully, time has not changed the luxurious dining experience at Planters Inn. The champagne bar sets the tone with sweetbreads, foie gras, and caviar. The dining room delivers she-crab soup, rack of lamb, and every possible prime cut of steak.

  • MOMO

    MOMO

    New York has long had Tavern on the Green. Now, North Charleston has park-side dining of its own at Riverfront Park. The raw bar’s oysters and ceviche are joined by small plates like roasted-carrot hummus and smoked chicken thighs with peanuts and hot maple sauce. Burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and a few hefty plates like…
