Listing Directory: General

  • 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

  • Virginia’s on King

    Virginia’s on King

    At this home-cooking eatery, brunch is served daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and there’s salad and sandwiches for anyone who doesn’t fancy pancakes for lunch. Supper starts at 3 p.m.—munch fried green tomatoes while waiting for your home-style meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy.

  • Water’s Edge

    From its bustling vantage point overlooking Shem Creek, Water’s Edge delivers a boatload of fresh seafood. Enjoy shrimp and grits, paella, crab cakes, and heaping bowls of Prince Edward Island mussels.

    Wild Common

    Birdcage light fixtures and “living wallpaper” projections emphasize a spirit of blithe grandeur that chef Orlando Pagán grounds with a sumptuous tasting menu at this fine dining spot. Order the four-course menu or bring a group for the chef’s table.   Photo Credits: Jonathan Boncek

  • Wild Olive

    Flexing his Italian know-how, Chef Jacques Larson incorporates finds from local farms and waters into pastas to die for and seafood dishes that sing with the season. It’s rare to find this quality of good food in such a comfortable setting. And the desserts are not to be missed.

  • Wood & Grain

    Wood & Grain

    At this welcoming space, casual cuisine by chef-owner Patrick Owens comes in a host of Italian-inspired dishes. Start with the charcuterie or roasted octopus. Then dig into a sizzling wood-fired pizza—the Quad Piece with fontina and smoked duck ham is a winner.

  • Woody’s

    A pizza joint bedecked in little white lights and beer-ad umbrellas, this kicked-back place is a beloved Folly landing for tasty, cheap eats: from pies to subs, and calzones to salads.

  • Xiao Bao Biscuit

    Xiao Bao Biscuit

    In this cheery repurposed gas station, don’t miss the mapo dou fou (Sichuan-spicy pork and tofu with broad bean and chile oil), deep-fried sticky rice dumplings filled with carmelized pork, and the okonomiyaki—a cabbage pancake topped with bacon, pork candy, a farm egg, or all three.   Photo Credits: Duolan Li

  • The Crab Shack

    The Crab Shack

    The best of the local chain, Crab Shack anchors the Center Street scene. Patio diners are a raucous, mixed lot of families and happy-hour types. Look for a barrel of peanuts, plastic utensils, a raw bar, the requisite fried fare, buckets of steamed oysters, snow crab, and Frogmore stew.
