The first of two restaurants on this list from chef Sean Brock (the second is McCrady’s at number 69), Husk is known for its focus on regional Southern ingredients. The menu, which changes daily, is full of elevated down-home dishes, such as Southern-fried chicken skins, pan-fried bologna with house-made mustard and pickles, and Heritage pork with pit-cooked smoky beans, heirloom kale, and pot likker broth. The only thing more charming than the fact that much of their produce comes from a garden out back is that the chefs are known for personally delivering orders to diners. And the good news? A second Husk outpost is in the works in Nashville, Tenn., set to open this spring.

Brock isn't reinventing Southern food. As a result, he (and Husk) has become a torchbearer for an honest style of home cooking that many of us never tasted until now.

Chef Sean Brock knows that the only thing better than a cheeseburger is a bacon cheeseburger. What sets this $10 version apart is the infused Benton's bacon into the locally sourced grass-fed beef.

Start with drinks at the bar - we loved the Debutante Punch. The Bacon Skillet Cornbread is also not to be missed!

Made our South's Best List! The hyper-local menu changes daily, but the cornbread is constant—crisp, scented with Benton’s bacon, and piping hot in a mini cast-iron skillet.

Bar is detached to the right of the main building. Good regional beer selection starting at $5. Always some Coast and Westbrook.

If you come to Charleston you HAVE to eat here at least once or three times. Start with the Dragoon Punch or a cider wine. Food and service are top notch served in an older beautiful building.
