Restaurants near Wando

“I love the Bojangles on Clements Ferry Road. The chicken is never hard, and the coleslaw Mac'n' cheese and rice are slamming!!!!! They're so friendly there, and the place is ways clean.”

“It is an art to take great ingredients and elevate them even higher. Some food need beautiful garnishes and delicate platting to dress them up. Some others do not; raw beauty. That's what you will find at Lewis.There is something highly titillating when the fragances of BBQ'd and smoked meats tingles your nose.There is something pleasing to the eyes and palate when the sight and taste of meats make your mouth watery.Yet, it is something else when your ears twitch and almost blush because you hear the inner sound and micro vibration of the perfect bark being chewed on. Real BBQ lovers know what I am talking about. You live for the perfect bark and the perfect meat.Lewis is no fluff, no bells, no whistles. Just food. Great food.(items I would recommend but not on the list below: Green Chile Corn Pudding and banana pudding)Parking: Parking is full but you can find place on the streetKid-friendliness: The meats are well-seasoned so kids who cannot handle peppers might struggle but there are options without pepper (ex: mac and cheese)”

“Our bartender tonight was Carly and when I say she was the most top-notch bartender I've ever had, I mean it. Great hospitality and great conversation. Such a sweet and pleasant person and so knowledgeable. Even if I didn't like EO brews, I would want to come here just for the service and the vibes. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you, Carly! :)”

“Our favorite restaurant during our time in Charleston! I wish we would’ve done the chef courses menu to get more variety, but everything we ordered was perfect. So creative and a great use of seasonal and local produce. You can tell there’s so much thought and care put into each dish. Expect to spend about $80 a person, but it’s so worth it.Our waiter was incredible and made our night so much better! Definitely get the butterscotch pudding if they still have it on their menu! :)”

“Best omakase in Charleston and probably South Carolina. On par with places I’ve been in Seattle and NYC. You won’t be disappointed. One of the better sake selections I’ve ever seen and Chris knows his stuff. If you like high quality omakase you need to snag a reservation here.”

“Fantastic Food, super fresh, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere was really cool. Hands-down one of the best restaurants that Charleston has to offer without a doubt you have to go to this place. If you visit Charleston one little tidbit, it opens up at five. If you wanna even be considered to go in there, they do not take reservations get there at 4 o’clock. You may find yourself in a line of 30 people, but you will get in.”

“I hate fish so I ordered the shrimp and rice, which was delicious, but my husband had the swordfish and talked me into trying it. It was amazing!!We tried all the oysters and they were all so good!And the service was incredible!!Absolutely worth visiting more than once.”

“Honestly, the best meal I've had in Charleston in a long time. Our group had vegans and non-vegans, and we all had plenty of delicious options to choose from. I'll be dreaming about some of these dishes for a long time!”

“Don't let name trick you, to me it seemed a bit odd but wow the food was amazing and the service was even better. Maybe the best Keylime Pie I have ever had. ?”

“A beautiful little restaurant that has it all. The service was fantastic and the ambiance perfect.The sourdough was fenominal. Flounder was amazing but many bites were over salted. Same issue with the rabit pasta being good but much too salty.The dessert - flourless cake was perfect! So glad we ordered it!Really only issue was the saltiness. I would definitely return though, its a lovely spot”

“One of the best dining experiences I have ever had! Menus was beautifully crafted and even prepared substitutions for my wife given her pregnancy. Amazing team that took care of us and got to know us personally in the 2-hour timeframe we were there. At the end, they surprised us with a hand-signed copy of our menu to help us commemorate such a great experience during our baby-moon.”

“Great neighborhood spot out of the touristy downtown. Perfect fried chicken, great fried clam strips and delicious Thai salad. When a tourist, eat where the locals eat!”

“This is not one bar, but two-in-one. The first one (last saint) is a very relaxed, easy going bar with great cocktails a la carte. Once you are on there, you can ring the bell to the Annex. This is a more upscale cocktail bar, with a very talented bartender, who will mix a cocktail based on your personal taste - one among the best I have ever had.”

“Been following Chef Nikko since his Mansueta's pop up days and very proud of him and all he has accomplished thus far! Kultura definitely did not disappoint! The Sisig Carbonara and Bistek were very good and the Ube latte was the icing on the cake! We will definitely be back for another dinner visit but also looking forward to trying their brunch. Kultura is small but very intimate with the kitchen staff and Chef Nikko himself up close and personal working their magic. Highly recommend!”

“I would argue that Malgón has the best bread service in Charleston. We stopped in for appetizers and wine. Our server was great and the patio was suuuuper cute. Blankets were provided on the patio as well, which was the perfect touch on this chilly evening. I’ve dinned here a few times and this is easily one of my favorite spots in Charleston.”

“Lovely dining experience, but I'm so glad that we made RESERVATIONS!The food was amazing, our server was kind and thoughtful and attentive despite the fact that every table was full.We'd got back for sure.”

“FABULOUS! Oh how I enjoyed this place!!! Everything was phenomenal:) First of all, the service. On point! Courteous and respectful. We had a dashing young man who was polite and saw to our every need. He gave us pointers on what to order, checked if I could swap a side (not normally done) and arranged for a fabulous mocktail. Sigh. The food was yum. We started off with the flaming cheese saganaki. This was served with a basket of pita bread. My entree was the WHOLE BRANZINO which was served on a wooden platter. This was an entire fish with the head on, bone-in and char-grilled with spices bedazzling the crunchy skin. I had this with the Greek potatoes which were incredible. My date had the KAKAVIA, a unique dish of shrimp, squid, salmon, clams, and mussels in a light lemon and tomato broth over fresh Greek pasta. Everything was spectacular; so very flavorful and beautifully presented. We rounded the evening off with the berry and fig panacotta. This place is wonderful and I'm so happy it's in a great with easy parking. The restaurant can be a little tight, and it's quite loud, but that's part of the robust culture of Greece. Embrace it! Opa!!!”

“Great experience with unique dishes and kitchen. Narrow and booked ahead. The food was delicious. Very small choice, but you have an option. You would need an Uber or walk there. The parking is the issue.”

“We stumbled on to this awesome restaurant. The shrimp and polenta dish was one for the record books... so good! The staff is amazing, they even have a list of "staff favorites" of other restaurants.It was so good, we came back again during our very short stay!”

“I come here all the time and have nothing good to say about the servers, food, and atmosphere. Sometimes they have live music which is really a plus!!! Located right on king with a great happy hour and great cocktails!!! Rachel was my server/bartender tonight and she did a great job! The cassara is best in town!!!!”

“The food is a unique fusion. The owner, originally from Vietnam, evolved from a food truck to his own place blending art with culinary experimentation. My husband, a long-time fan since his college days, was impressed with the transformation.The menu is short but each dish is a masterpiece. I am not too much into Asian food but KFC fried chicken was rich and exceptional. The staff is very chill.Recommendation to management team: getting a table was a challenge due to the restaurant's size and a large party reservation. We ended up seated next to the bar, which was not so comfortable. Additionally, there's no parking nearby.Overall, the food is outstanding (6/5 if possible), but the dining experience could be improved.”

“We were visiting Charleston for the day and we walked in for brunch. They were able to get us in right away. It was delicious. I have food allergies (gluten and dairy) and I was able to eat without any issues at all. I was with a vegetarian who was able to have food without any issues at all. It was so good that we came back for dinner. We got to sit at the chef’s table and it was so neat. We could see the pizzas being made and we both ate delicious pizza. They made a gluten free pizza crust without cheese, lamb sausage, basil, and asparagus. The food was delicious and safe. It was a clean restaurant with kind service from all.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options”

“This place has outstanding Mexican food. The service was impeccable. Salsa bar and flour tortillas are made fresh daily. The cheese dip with tortilla mouth watering. We came for lunch, and everyone was so happy eating the food. Beautiful and open. You can sit inside or outside. Just look at the food pictures. The dessert orange flan was my favorite. I am still thinking about it. The sopas with cinnamon and sugar, then drizzled warm honey was chef kiss ?A huge must try.”

“All sorts of delicious home baked good here. If you are visiting definitely a good goody spot. If this is your home town, great place to study or meet a friend for coffee.”

“The crab and shrimp rice dish was good - make sure you add the shrimp..! The lima beans plate was maybe even better.. but the collard greens and cornbread were fantastic..!”

“My husband & I decided to have date night here a few nights ago & it was such a wonderful dining experience! The food was so delicious - full of yummy spices & flavors. The cocktails were also some of the best we've had in Charleston!! The bartender didn't disappoint with several sweet designs in the cocktails, too! :) Make sure you ask for Kristin when booking a reservation! She made our dining experience even more fantastic!”

“Best Italian casual in town! Pizza is "to die for" and the pasta is pretty great! Wish they had a tad bigger menu, but what they do they do REALLY WELL! Nice people, well run and cozy!”

“First time dining, will not be the last! Entrees were superbly prepared and ample (rabbit en croute, flounder). The accompaniments were imaginative, fresh & very flavor-filled. The wine list complements the menu & is explained by very knowledgeable staff. Desserts will be experienced on our next visit. Looking forward to patio dining as well! Go! You won't be disappointed!”

“A tiny bakeshop with massive creativity and flavor as well as fabulous people who clearly love what they do. Get a croissant, sit on their outdoor patio, and let the world melt away with each bite.”

“Everything was amazing! My son and I had tacos, banana bread, OJ and coffee. Amanda had great customer service she guided us with patience and kindness through the menu. Love this place.”
