The first few years we vacationed as a group, we went to one meal out as a group. The logistics are daunting and we quickly changed to one-couple-at-a-time mode which has worked nicely. Here are some of the places in and around Charleson that we've tried over the years.
Hyman's: This is the tried & true favorite. The owner once brought me an extra bowl of hushpuppies after I said I liked them; a server once delivered a slice of pie to my dad with 3 extra spoons 'cause he saw the envious looks in our eyes. One year Doug and I enjoyed a pleasant meal on the top floor, and when were leaving, saw my sister and brother-in-law downstairs eating. The really weird thing? We had ordered the same dishes! You can't go wrong here (though you'll probably have to wait).
The Wreck of Richard and Charlene: This eatery is mentioned only for its unusual name and ambiance. Wreck is a apt word. It's difficult to locate and could easily be mistaken for a shack. The menu is limited and the food comes out on paper plates. Trip Advisor gives it a good rating overall, but after reading the comments, I'm definitely not alone in my assessment.
Garibaldi Cafe: This is one of the most memorable meals that Doug and I have had. The food was pricey but delicious. Doug had the Crispy Flounder, and it was absolutely amazing. A couple near us said that they drove down from Atlanta just to eat there.
Mustard Seed: Both my parents and my sister/brother-in-law have enjoyed this reasonably priced restaurant; we never could find it. Maybe this year.
Fleet Landing: This is a great place right on the water across the bay from Ft. Sumter. The ingredients are fresh (and many local). A definite winner!
So much good food, so little time. Guess we'll have to come back again next year.
