Listing Directory: General

  • Pearlz Oyster Bar

    Pearlz Oyster Bar

    This convivial spot in the Avondale neighborhood offers the same old-school raw bar experience as its downtown sister. Stop in for peel-and-eat shrimp, oyster shooters, and oysters Rockefeller. Main dishes lean toward seafood—think lobster roll and shrimp and grits—but there’s also an Angus strip steak and signature burger.

  • Kaminsky’s Dessert Cafe

    Kaminsky’s Dessert Cafe

    With a rotating selection of classic desserts made in-house daily, this Market Street café serves as the perfect spot to grab a late afternoon coffee drink and slice of chocolate torte or post-dinner dessert martini, like the key lime pie, made with Licor 43, lime juice, and a graham cracker rim.

  • The Wreck of the Richard & Charlene

    Find this out-of-the-way dive—named for a ship stranded in the same spot during Hurricane Hugo—behind the Shem Creek docks. The seafood, all sourced fresh, is highlighted in the locals’ favorite dishes such as the deviled crab and the fried seafood platter.

  • Triangle Char & Bar

    Hit up Triangle for grass-fed beef showcased in burgers like the Plain Jane (lettuce, tomato, and cheese) or the decadent Boss Hog (pimiento cheese and caramelized onions), as well as brunch with a family-pleasing menu that includes chorizo hash, mahi tacos, and cinnamon rolls.

  • Verde

    With two locations East of the Cooper, this locally founded salad and wrap haven is a hit for a fast and healthy lunch or dinner. Customize a shredded or chopped bowl or wrap—such as the “Of Rice and Hen,” with greens, brown rice, quinoa, and roasted chicken.

  • Vern’s

    Vern’s

    With a rustic hearth, cozy tables, and glass doors that open onto the sidewalk, this sunny Cannonborough-Elliotborough corner feels more Left Bank than Holy City. Chef Daniel Heinze’s menu is ingredient-driven, like yellowfin tuna in a crudo with Calabrian chile; bitter lettuces in a salad showered with garlicky bread crumbs; and a juicy pork loin…

  • Vicious biscuit

    Vicious biscuit

    Fried chicken and gravy or fried shrimp with Thai-chili slaw are a couple of the open-faced options at this biscuit emporium. Find friendly staff, a sunlit patio, bloody marys, and mimosas, all in this relaxed spot.   Photo Credits: Andrew Cebulka

  • Vickery’s Bar & Grill

    Vickery’s Bar & Grill

    A party with a view, Vickery’s at Shem Creek offers salads, sandwiches, soups, and entrées, plus wines by the glass on the short, but not shoddy, list. When the weather’s nice, grab a seat on the marsh-facing upper deck and watch the pelicans catch their dinner.

  • Ville Sainte Bistro

    Parisian-born chef Carole Robert creates classic French dishes with a dogmatic focus on ingredients, hand-selecting each day’s meats, seafood, and produce, then combining them with imported specialties, like the garlic paste that flavors the splendid escargot or rare seasonal cheese to transforms into fondue.

  • Vintage Coffee Cafe

    Vintage Coffee Cafe

    Next door to sister Coastal Crust, this coffee shop caters to East Cooper families and foodies alike. Settle inside the cottage for a bagel or bowl, or relax with a sandwich in the backyard while the kiddos clamber over a retro Chevy-turned-jungle-gym.   Photo Credits: Katy Jurkiw
