    A delicious alcoholic dessert coffee.  I feel like it was a special or something.  The whipped cream was AMAZING.
    Jessi S.

    82 Queen was another new restaurant my family and I got to try while on Spring Break this year. We had reservations for Easter dinner at 6pm. We were a little early for our reservations and were told that they are seating exactly on time, which was totally fine. We strolled around a bit and returned at our designated time. We were seated on the first floor in a room near the street. We loved how each room had a different ambiance to it! It really is a beautiful restaurant with a lot of charm to it! Our waitress was very nice! She was very helpful with her recommendations and very attentive. My husband and I both ordered drinks and my daughter ordered a Shirley Temple. Her Shirley Temple was extremely grenadine heavy, which I think they assumed they were doing her a favor, but she was a bit overwhelmed by how sweet it was. They serve it with a Sprite instead of Ginger Ale, just FYI. For dinner, I of course had to order the She Crab soup. Believe the hype! It was the best She Crab soup I had in Charleston. It was sheer perfection. I ordered the Skillet Chicken Cutlets and my husband had the Braised Beef Short Ribs. His dinner was delicious, the short ribs were so soft and tender and just melted in your mouth. I enjoyed the few bites of his more than my chicken, even though my meal was still good. There was A LOT of corn with my meal, but everything had such a great taste to it. We rounded the dinner off with a piece of Pecan Pie and vanilla ice cream which was very good as well. This restaurant is definitely on the more expensive side so be ready to drop a pretty penny. Overall, it was pretty darn good, and we will probably be back!

    The food and drink were amazing! I ordered the pork chops with sweet potato and collard greens. Chef's kiss! It was nice to sit outdoors and I also loved the ambiance. My server was great and very attentive. I tried the She Crab soup for the first time and it was good but just not enough. I do, however, feel that the menu was very overpriced.

    My wife and I loved our meal at 82 Queen. We started with the Shrimp Gratin appetizer, then had the crab cakes and pork chop for our entrees before sharing a slice of pecan pie for desert. Amazing food throughout and Tyler made us feel like his only table the entire meal. Will definitely be a regular stop every time we're in Charleston!

    This is my go to breakfast or brunch location. We have lived here for many years and they are just as good now as they were 20 years ago the first time we went. I have never had anything but great service so it's something you can always count on, and inside or out in the garden you will have a wonderful experience. When weather is permitting I suggest the garden outside for the best ambiance.

    Went for their Easter brunch and had a really nice experience. Once you walk through the little walkway alley, the restaurant is actually huge. We walked through a garden filled with tables, then were taken to another building and seated on the second floor, which made it feel really unique. The service was super friendly, and our server even gave us great recommendations for coffee spots to visit after, which I loved. The food felt more elevated than a typical brunch, and everything came out nicely presented. Portions were on the smaller side but yummy. My biscuit was really good, and the cheesecake was definitely a highlight for me. Overall, a great spot for a nicer brunch or special occasion.

    82 Queen has been on my "must-try" list for over a year, and visiting during Restaurant Week could not have been a better introduction. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Prince, and all I can say is wow. Smart, funny, and incredibly personable, he made a fantastic first impression and is a wonderful representation of the restaurant. We walked through a beautiful outdoor courtyard before heading upstairs to a charming and inviting dining space, where Dylan seamlessly took over. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening. We opted for the Restaurant Week menu to sample dishes we might not normally order, and every single plate impressed--one better than the next. Everything was beautifully plated, generously portioned, and expertly seasoned. To start, we had the BBQ Shrimp and Grits and the Queen's Salad. The shrimp and grits were outstanding, and while a salad might sound simple, the addition of corn and field peas made it truly memorable. We also shared a cup of the award-winning She-Crab Soup. It's award-winning for a reason--rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. On a chilly night, it's a must-order. For entrées, I chose the Jambalaya, which pleasantly surprised me with shrimp throughout, along with crawfish and Tasso ham. It was perfectly executed. My husband ordered the Braised Beef Short Rib, which was cooked to perfection--rich, tender, and full of flavor. We added the Truffled Asparagus as a side, and it did not disappoint. The asparagus were cooked just right and finished with the perfect touch of truffle. Dessert was the perfect finale. We shared the Churro Cheesecake and the Limoncello Mascarpone Cake, and both were excellent--sweet, balanced, and a fitting end to an incredible meal. We will absolutely be back. Don't sleep on 82 Queen. With its rich history, outstanding food, and exceptional service, there's a reason it has earned the reputation it has--and it lives up to it.

    Make a reservation. We didn't, and would have had about a 90 minute wait for brunch but we were offered the option to dine at the bar. We took the only two adjacent seats at the end of the bar, which we later learned from the bartender were the worst because the floor is on an incline. Our seats were at the lowest point so the bar seemed really high. That made it difficult to eat. (We also realized much too late that we could have sat at one of the open tables by the window at the end of the bar, which weren't being held for reservations.) The bartender did double duty as our server. Kudos. I ordered the Lowcountry Breakfast Bowl and my daughter had the Crab Cake Benedict plus a bowl of the award winning She-crab Soup. All of the food was very good. I did ask for my egg fried hard and they sent it Sunnyside up so I had to carefully pick it off the plate. We also had a special drink which I can't find now on their menus. It was a Magnolia something made with pear puree and elderflower liqueur and lemon something and it was really good. My daughter also had the pomegranate mimosa which she said was slightly too sweet for her. It's very pretty inside, and especially in the courtyard patio.

    Crab Cake Goodness

    What a delightful little outdoor spot. It was so Very Charleston. In my best Southern accent. We made reservations because we had our puppy with us on Christmas Eve and wanted to make sure we could eat outdoors. They easily accommodate us when we called to double check. Our table was perfect we could soak in all the goodness of the garden atmosphere. Our waiter was amazing! So personable and was right on top of everything. He told us about some of his favorites and they did not disappoint. We picked the shrimp and grits, a crab cake and have a delicious Lemon Cheesecake. I would highly recommend this cozy spot. In the hustle and bustle of downtown Charleston this quiet little garden made you feel so relaxed and maybe even added a little longer draw in my words. It's Southern People- GO!

    Barbeque Shrimp & Grits
    Macey W.

    First things first, our waiter Scotty definitely made our experience here! He was awesome!! We got the she crab soup that everyone raves about and it was good but in my opinion I don't see the hype. It was also really filling! We got the shrimp and grits for our entree and it was delicious but we were extremely full after a few bites!! The vibes were amazing and the patio was super cute!

    Bland tasteless soup

    I am not as impressed with 82 Queen as everyone else. I was out with some friends on a Saturday night and after shopping all day we were looking for a place to eat. It was around 540pm and they said the next available table was around 630pm. We were hungry so we decided to wait. It was for outside , but it was heated so that was fine. Someone called and said they would late so we got sat earlier then planned. The outdoor area is really nice and there's a lot of space. It was also the end of restaurant week when we went so they had a special 3 courses for 55$. I decided to go with that and got the "award winning' she-crab soup. The short ribs, and the cheesecake for dessert. I am allergic to soy, so I did appreciate that there was no soy in any of these dishes. But that was about it as far as being impressed. I also ordered a glass of Pinot grigio with ice on the side and never got the ice. Aside from that the she crab soup did not taste award winning to me. The flavor was meh, it tasted like it was reheated out of a bag. The short rib , mashed potatoes and hericot ver was also meh. Tasted like bland buffet food....the short ribs were also very fatty. The dessert was for my husband and I didn't bother eating it either the waiter said the desserts come from a box that they order so it's not even housemade. I personally think it's way overrated and overpriced. Maybe I just had a bad experience, but I don't think I'll be coming back.

    We were not disappointed in this restaurant, it had the feeling of an old historic house which it probably was now that I think of it. We loved the portraits of the dogs on the wall, but that was only a fraction of how the vibe of this place just made you feel really chill. Caroline was our server and she was amazing. The food was never late and the drink drinks were delicious. We had the Cristini special, the jambalaya, and the chicken bog. Very delicious indeed, and I even had to top the night off with the lemon raspberry cake. From what I hear you have to make special request to eat out on the patio as that fills up quickly. We did not do that that we're perfectly happy to sit inside.

    We came in on a Monday night, so it was fairly quiet. The ambiance inside the restaurant is very nice and traditional, and their patio area also looks very charming. I ordered the Creole Spiced Grouper, which was slightly overdone but still had great flavor, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The Southern Tomato Pie was absolutely delicious! We also tried the She Crab Soup, which is something they are known for. My soup wasn't quite hot, but I still enjoyed it and understood why it is award-winning! The 82 Queen hot sauce added a perfect kick, and you can buy a bottle of it for $6. Service was good. Will return again.

    Sara G.

    Dining under a massive Southern magnolia tree hits different. It's aggressively charming. The fried green tomatoes and mandatory. They are crispy, tangy, doing everything they're supposed to do and the presentation is chef's kiss. The crab cake showed up hot and soft. This place knows exactly what you came for. Honestly, if it leaned any harder into the Southern aesthetic, someone would hand you a monogrammed hand fan. Ha!

    Where is parking?

    There's a parking garage directly across from it. If the restaurant is on your right, go through the light and there's another one on your left.

    What is the dress code?

    It is really whatever you feel most comfortable wearing! There is an outside courtyard, which of course is less dressy than inside, but you will still see some people dressed up. People tend to go for "celebrations" so they tend to dress up more… 

    Is there a military discount offered?

    Maybe

    5/5 Stars - Absolutely Incredible!…read more This spot is a total gem. We ordered a vanilla cinnamon iced latte, a cappuccino, a smoothie, a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a strawberry pop-tart, and every single item was outstanding- gluten free options too!!!

It is much more casual than I thought, with some of the menu (like bowls and salads) already made and ready to grab from the fridge. So happy we ended up staying because everything was fantastic. We ordered at the counter, grabbed drinks from the fridge and found a table on the side, covered patio. Food was brought out super quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I got the St. Philip pita, which was incredible and almost tasted like a halal cart chicken sandwich in the best way. It was so filling and so good. It came with a really tasty side salad. My fiance got the BLT which was just as great. I can see this being a really ideal space to bring my laptop and get some work done if I lived in the area. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a great, casual space for breakfast, lunch or coffees.

Our waiter was super busy & at times hard to flag down. He did a nice job of refills for the kids, but when the food came out, we literally had zero napkins and zero utensils. That is basic stuff- I shouldn't have to flag down people for when getting seated. I ended up finding another waiter who was helping to bring out our food and asking him for napkins and cutlery. The beignets here are not what you expect- think super mini ones versus the classic ones you get from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans or other joints. We would have placed two orders of them except I knew the brunch plates would be big, and we wanted our kiddos to eat their meal before filling up on sweets. I got the Meeting plate- double portion of crab cakes on top of fried green tomatoes with grits and a huge buttermilk biscuit, where I didn't finish the biscuit and had one of our kids eat half of it. I was craving some fried green tomatoes but also wanted seafood so that worked out! My partner got the fried green tomatoes BLT and loved it. One of our kids got the chicken and waffles, another ate all of the fried chicken tenderloins, and our third really wanted buttermilk pancakes that were a hefty plate. No shortage of being hungry at this place! The food was good, but I would not say it was anything too different than any other brunch place-but for, the fried green tomatoes & other southern offerings like grits that you wouldn't get in other parts of the country. There are only two wash rooms, so there can be a wait especially when you have a long line of ladies waiting FYI. Prices are not too bad and standard for brunch so still an alternative when you are looking for fuel to fill up before doing your shopping on King's Street.

That level of hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. We kept it simple and shared the Octopus Salad and the Taleggio Pizza, and wow...every single bite was packed with flavor. The pizza, cooked in the wood-fired brick oven, had the perfect crispy yet chewy crust with rich, melty cheese. The octopus was tender, fresh, and beautifully balanced.

    It's been 11 years since I posted my last review for this place. I was concerned when I made the…read morereservation that maybe it had lost its luster since I was last here. Happily, I was wrong! Everything went extremely well from the check-in experience, to the food, and the service. Our reservation was for 6:30pm but we got there a full hour early. They gave us a table immediately, no problem. Our server was Maisie and she was wonderful. Patient. Attentive. Super friendly. We ordered drinks and the Pimento Cheese Fritters. They were incredible! We also tried the She Crab Bisque and it was over the top! Delicious and full of lump crab meat. When Maisie brought us our first plates, she asked us if we were considering the pork chop, which is exactly what we were interested in. She said there were only two left and held one for us. This is the kind of excellent service she provided throughout the meal. The pork chop was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a wonderful wood smoked flavor. The whipped potatoes and roasted heirloom baby carrots were the perfect accompaniment. Nothing has changed inside or out since my last visit. The vibe is Charleston laid back and comfortable. I'm so glad I came back.

    Poogan's Porch was a solid pick. I'd last been the 15-20 years ago, before I met my hubby. For his…read morefirst time in this town, I figured I'd try it again. It was Labor Day and things seemed on the quiet side in town. The ambience was great and we were on the second floor. We got right to the libations (he had a Malbec and I, the cider they had available). And then the entrees - hubby got the shrimp and grits, that's usually my dish but I was glad he got it so I could taste. I got the fried chicken, with hoppin John over white rice, and collards. So good! And I wasn't even hungry but I had to test the "award winning" and "famous" labels on our dishes. The chicken is a huge serving - 4 pieces of juicy, tasty chicken - an entire quarter. The hoppin John was good - I just wish there were more hoppin John and less rice. Service was 5 star. Donte was a real treat and looked after us well. For dessert, I was hoping for bread pudding, but it wasn't on the menu, and everyone in the dining room was ordering the banana pudding so we got that to share. It is a large serving, enough for two. The presentation was cute, the taste was regular, and I didn't taste a hint of alcohol (it was a bourbon or some other alcohol).
