Kelley Farlow: Their fried okra is a legend!!
Xaque Williams: Get the fried okra! Don't mess around... This place is legit! The oatmeal porter is the best beer I ever had, the burgers ate phenomenon! Order any of them... Wow! And the fried Mac n cheese... DO IT!
Cheryl Smithem: Definitely have the burger. The flavor of the smokey bacon and cheddar made my selection store tasty. The thin, housemade fries were amazing. Others in our group had three fried mac and cheese bites.

Syd Leigh: The General Taos chicken wrap is the specialty but try their salads. They may sound simple but they are great. The fried okra is amazing. Save room for dessert, the orange sherbet cake is so good.
Wayne Anderman: Must Do! Seared scallops & blow your mind risottos. The lamb shank was cut with a fork tender served on a bed of A+ seasoned diced vegetable and whipped mashed potatoes. Ambience rocks.
Jim S.: Reservations are a must. If you're dining alone, you may find a seat at the bar.

Briana Bailey: The mess (curried vegetable scrambled eggs) was our favorite, but everything was good. Get the tomato sauce for the shrimp&grits but the pepper jam on the side to put on your biscuit. Fried okra too.
Barbara Growe Calcagno: "The Mess", a breakfast dish with curried veggies and eggs. Delicious! Nice people, very relaxed environment.
Ashley S.: Free wifi FTW :)

Seafood Restaurant · Downtown Charleston · 79 tips and reviews
Stephanie Burnett: Excellent dinner choice! Delicious food. Key lime pie for dessert a must! But the worst sangria I have ever had...tasted like white wine and ginger ale with an orange slice thrown in for color
Leah Pepper: Best seafood in town! Get the seafood tower and the grouper!!!
Eater: Consistency is the name of the game at Hank’s and the food is always fantastic. The grouper is a solid dish, but for the wow factor go for the seafood tower! [Eater 18 Member]

Scott Davis: Chicken is always hot and fresh and service is on point!
Todd Smith: Church’s Chicken on Sam Rittenberg Blvd west of the Ashley is the best Church’s location in the tri-County area! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jack Kauffman: Much, much better since this location was reopened and taken over by the corporate office. I hope you’ll remodel this location because it’s excellent and so convenient!
