Charleston Crab House
Head out for happy hour and relax along the water with a cold one and a plate of shrimp, savory steampot, or a Southern-fried seafood platter. Arrive in style by pulling up in your boat, or keep your sea legs and people-watch from the dock. Photo Credits: Andrew Cebulka

Big Bad Breakfast
This Lowcountry outpost of James Beard Award-winning chef John Currence’s Southern diner chain slings all things brekkie seven days a week.
