re: Charleston Recs

Skip Rodney Scott’s, it’s highly overrated.

Lewis BBQ is legit, good brisket. They also have daily specials starting at 1100 that are solid, ranging from country fried steak to Dino beef ribs depending on the day.

Bowens Island has great scenery and solid seafood, but it’s not high dining. Most of the complex has caught fire at one time or another, so it’s a patched together dive. The AYCE oysters (only served in the oyster room) are killer, but IMHO they’re much better when the water is colder.

Several good places around Shem Creek, The Wreck is hidden away in the back of a neighborhood but has good fried seafood.
