Best American Restaurants in North Charleston

Very nice spot… Old Church vibe, with a bit of civil war nostalgia. We enjoyed the fried chicken and southern salad. Chicken was crispy n moist, but… $30.00 for 1/2 chicken? Some pickles and cornbread, but no sides? Salad was fresh and flavorful. Our server was very distracted, and likely wished we had gone somewhere else? Don’t think we would return. Too many other spots for great food and service in this lovely city!! YMMV

The first thing that impressed us was the friendly and welcoming Staff. They greeted us and made us feel at home as soon as we entered the establishment. The ambiance is cozy, tasteful and comfortable: brick walls, plush leather, elegant table settings, fireplaces and dim lighting. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and were delighted when presented menus printed with “Happy Birthday” and the milestone age superimposed on them. They even said we could take them home as a souvenir. Such a thoughtful touch! Our waiter, Sam, couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. He was very friendly, informative and professional. He was also a great source of information on the menu and offered wonderful suggestions. He made us feel very special. The food was to die for! Everything we ordered was beautifully presented, cooked perfectly and amazingly delicious. The chef and kitchen staff are to be commended. The drinks were generous and made to perfection, as well. Mike does a great job of managing the place. He made sure we were satisfied with our experience and took the time to chat with us for a bit. All in all, we had a wonderful evening and highly recommend Oak Steakhouse.

This is a terrific restaurant. The menu is quite basic, but everything is prepared expertly, and the staff is both welcoming and professional. Whenever we're in Charleston we never miss a visit. My faves are the local Low-Country seafood items and the filet. Again, a basic menu but all the bases are well covered. Oh... and that coconut cake. "Extraordinary" doesn't do it justice.

Food and service were exceptional. Veal Parmesan and lasagna for entrées. Portions are huge.

My husband and I are from Pennsylvania, but were in Charleston visiting my mother. She had a hankering for a meal at Red Lobster. The three of us dined there this evening, and it was wonderful. To start with, the service was perfect. Dave, our server, was very attentive to our needs. We expressed disappointment when we learned that Red Lobster did not offer hushpuppies. Dave promised us that we would love their Cheddar Bay Biscuits. He was right; the biscuits were luscious melt-in-your-mouth! From there we enjoyed entrees of salmon, grilled scallops, and lobster - all cooked to perfection. Kudos to the chef! A shared Chocolate Wave cake was a delicious ending to the meal.
