CITY GRIT: The menu changes daily but if the Pulled Squash Sandwich and the Kale Slaw are on the board – you must do it!
Charleston Area CVB: The pulled squash sandwich, with thin slices of cooked squash, house-made barbecue sauce, and hickory-smoked cabbage cole slaw on a freshly baked hoagie, is one of Food & WIne's best in the country.
The Tastes that Make the City: The pulled squash sandwich is the best sandwich in Charleston, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Charleston. Read more.

Don Tina Peters: The menu specials were superb. Butternut squash and lobster bisque was fabulous. They pour a nice drink too.
Brad Totherow: Try an Innis & Gunn, wood barrel aged for 77 days. Perfect with the Filet!
John Rector: Oak Steakhouse is probably the best restaurant in downtown Charleston. Don't worry about parking - they offer a valet service. Just pull up in front on Broad Street and wait for an attendant.

Mary Catherine James: The veggies and fruit section here is good! They have pre cut sweet potatoes, butternut squash and even beets that made them quick and easy to cook! They are time savers in the kitchen.
LaHonda Washington: I love Publix at Ashley Landing. It’s one of the nicest supermarkets in the Charleston region and the location at Ashley Landing is so convenient. It’s an immaculate store with everything you’d want!

Hotel · Downtown Charleston · 4 tips and reviews
Shannon Varunok: Quaint and cozy - absolutely lovely. Don’t miss the creative cocktails in the very charming bar!!
Travel + Leisure: With its sprawling verandas and manicured pocket gardens, this hotel pays homage to the city’s history, but interiors are refreshingly modern. A highlight: breakfast in the 1804 carriage house.
Travel + Leisure: Eighteen guest rooms among five historic buildings feature Farrow & Ball paint colors and Kravet linens. Take Lowcountry cooking classes or dine on southern-inspired tapas in the azalea-lined gardens.
Big E: The grits and the greens are the best, this side of glory! Also the crab cake is the real deal! One of our favorite spots in Charleston.
Andrew Erman: Amazing. Kacey the server is awesome.

Mark Durney: Stick to the small plates, bone marrow is a must.
