Diner Restaurants in Charleston
Discover the best diner dining experiences Charleston has to offer
Honeysuckle Rose
Honeysuckle Rose is an intimate, lively spot in Charleston that leans more tasting-menu/restaurant than casual bar — expect multi-course service where diners rave about the beef and a killer melt. Reviews compare it to Michelin experiences, with people calling their three-hour tasting nights well worth it.
Middleton Place Restaurant
Middleton Place Restaurant is a cozy, casual spot on the historic grounds where people rave about the shrimp, pork and steaks on the menu. Staff get consistent praise and diners say the new head chef’s dishes have been a real surprise in a good way.
Topsail Restaurant
Topsail is a casual, slightly upscale seafood spot in Charleston — think shrimp gnocchi, she-crab soup, tuna and cakes on the menu. Service is friendly (Jordan gets shoutouts), though some diners wished the she-crab soup was hotter and the shrimp gnocchi had more shrimp.
Med Diner
Med Diner is a casual spot in Charleston with indoor seating where folks rave about the cheesesteak, fries, chicken, and shrimp. Service gets good reviews and it feels like a no-frills neighborhood place — solid comfort food, not fancy.
