Any place worth a 40 minute drive.

Look no further than McCrady's in downtown Charleston - absolutely wonderful in all aspects.

I had a great meal at McCrady's...

full disclosure..I had contacted the restaurant a week or so in advance and they knew I was affiliated with another food board..doubt that affected the food but we were treated very well.

There's a great bbq place about 1/2 hour NW of Charleston..Bub Sweatman's..only open Fri, Sat.

eta...Charleston has a beautiful historic district (where McCrady's is)..and it's worth allowing yourself some time to wander around..very walkable.

How about the Crab Shack at Folly Beach?

Crab Shack

One Shell of a Good Deal!

Continuing our Inflation Retaliation

All Day Everyday Happy Hour

Bar App's for only $3.99

My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

Orik, on the pasta price at Hearth in NYC

we spent a week at the kiawah island. one night the family had dinner at the restaurant inside The Sanctuary hotel. one of the most beautiful hotels i have seen. the service was decadent and the food was quit delicious.

39 Rue De Jean in charleston was very nice too, a bistro. i ordered the short rib in my quest to find another recipe as tasty as the one that cafe gray (NYC) served. unmatched still. too bad they closed.

In the end, it's all a rental. - hollywood
