Kwei Fei
In the restaurant adjoining the Charleston Pour House, chef David Schuttenberg brings the heat with his homage to the flavors of Sichuan.

Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint
You could fill up on pit standards like the brisket, pulled pork, or turkey at this barbecue outpost from West Tennessee. But don’t miss the outliers, like the fried catfish “Redneck Taco” served on a hoecake, smothered in slaw. The hickory baked beans are just one of many stellar sides.

Langdon’s
This Mount Pleasant fine-dining institution from chef-owner Patrick Owens thrills the palate with food that is simple yet exquisitely prepared.
