Charleston Chew's Restaurant Reviews

Ivan I have always enjoyed going out to eat, which is really easy in Charleston as there are not only tons of restaurant options but it seems like a new one opens every month.


I have created 7 categories with our top 5 restaurants for each. These restaurants have become a staple in our lives, depending on the circumstance. We go to some places for the beverages and appetizers, some for a quick meal, and others to celebrate special occasions.
