My youngest son’s girlfriend and mother are coming down from NC to Charleston next week to attend an art exhibit. They have asked him to come down one day and join them for dinner and and have asked him (like he’d know) if he knew of any decent seafood restaurants. He knows to stay away from the typical tourists places downtown and the only one I knew of is Bowens Island Restaurant.
If you know of any decent and not fancy seafood (or other) restaurants, I’d appreciate the input. We usually eat at local places when we come down and I think they are looking for something else.
I enjoy Fleet Landing a lot every time we go. They have this seared flounder with some sort of apricot deliciousness drizzled over it. Its ridiculous. Its downtown Charleston with relatively easy $5 parking and will impress the ladies without looking like he’s trying to impress them. Get a reservation and ask for a seat by the water.
I haven’t been to the Bowens Island one in a lot of years, but Dad used to take me there as a kid when the only thing there was that place with writing all over the walls. They had the best dang cheeseburgers you could ever imagine.
Lolo’s out that way is decent too. Similar beach vibe.
The fact that southern roots is on that list at all negates it. I walked in there one time and asked what kind of hash they served only to be responded to by the waitress asking, “What’s hash?”
