Charleston Foodie Guide: A 3-Day Culinary Adventure 🍽️✨

I recently spent a 3-day weekend in Charleston and stayed at the lovely Emeline Hotel (highly recommend—they offer a $100 dining credit!). As a seafood lover, I focused my trip on Charleston’s famous coastal cuisine. Here’s my honest review of three standout spots: ⭐️ 167 Oyster Bar 📍 Walk-ins only | Long waits! (We waited 1.5 hrs at 5PM; by 6PM, it was 4 hrs!) 🦪 Highlights: Snow crab & oysters were super fresh! Mussel pasta, fish tacos, and scallops (all delicious… except a few mussels tasted off 😕). ⚠️ Overhyped? Maybe. Go early if you must try it! ⭐️ O-Bar 📍 No wait for lunch! | Same fresh oysters, zero stress. 🍤 Why we loved it: Oysters just as good as 167’s! Crab cake & mahimahi = flawless. 😍 Bonus: Our server was ridiculously handsome. 10/10! ⭐️ Hank’s Seafood 📍 Our favorite meal in Charleston! 🐟 Must-Order: Tuna tartare (so fresh!) Romaine salad with fried shrimp (crunchy perfection) Roasted grouper (firm, buttery, chef’s kiss) Bouillabaisse (seafood stew that’ll make you swoon). 🌟 Impeccable service, zero flaws. Book this one! Verdict: Skip the hype at 167—O-Bar & Hank’s are the real stars! 🌟 #CharlestonEats #SeafoodLover #FoodieTravel #CharlestonSC #TravelGuide
