    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    French Cut Pork Chop*

    The setting actually reminded me more of a laid-back West Coast patio than a traditional Southern restaurant. So, points for vibe. But once the food came, things got rocky. Everything was just... mid. Some bites were fine, others forgettable. Nothing stood out enough to justify the price or the reputation. And then there's the real issue--the insect problem. My legs were ate up during dinner. Whatever was biting (ants? mosquitoes?) made it impossible to relax. It's hard to enjoy your meal when you're swatting and scratching between courses. Beautiful setting, average food, and an uncomfortable dining experience. If you're going for the patio, wear bug spray--and maybe set your expectations to "pretty place, so-so dinner."

    82 Queen was such a great dining experience. We were seated in an upstairs room and I absolutely loved the green wallpapers/decor of the room. It was a semi-private room with one other large party dining. Each room was different theme and I absolutely loved that. The outdoor seating area was nice as well, perfect for a nice sunny day. The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend the tomato pie. It comes with a side salad, it was filling.

    Courtyard

    I sat in the courtyard which was beautiful. Their crab chowder is as good as advertised and I tried their tomato pie, which was a savory cheesy onion experience served warm in a ramekin along with the salad portion on the side. I added fried shrimp for extra oomph and washed it down with a lavender cream soda! Server servers were attentive to me which felt great! Highly recommended!

    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.

    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…

The design is thoughtfully executed, the space feels comfortable even when it's busy, and the service is friendly, attentive, and impressively fast. I also appreciated a small but important detail: despite how popular the restaurant is, there are plenty of restrooms and no long lines. Little things like that genuinely improve the guest experience. Unfortunately, that's where most of my praise ends. I intentionally ordered many of the restaurant's signature dishes because I wanted to judge the restaurant as a whole rather than base my opinion on one successful plate. The food simply doesn't live up to the expectations created by the photos. Everything looks noticeably less refined and less appetizing once it reaches the table. The fried chicken was just ordinary chicken in a heavy, greasy breading. The oysters were fresh and enjoyable with no complaints there. The famous salad turned out to be mostly a large bowl of cabbage, while the avocado and mandarin seemed more decorative than meaningful. Most of the flavor came from mint and an overly acidic vinaigrette that dominated the dish. The fish sandwich was the biggest disappointment. The issue wasn't the fish itself but the composition of the sandwich. The dry, stale bun completely overpowered everything else, while the basic vegetables did nothing to complement or elevate the fish. Instead of highlighting the main ingredient, the sandwich buried it, which defeats the entire purpose of a great fish sandwich. The Korean smashed cucumber salad tasted primarily of vinegar and sesame oil with very little depth, while the hush puppies were dry and lacked the rich corn flavor that usually makes them memorable. Even the drinks reinforced the same impression. The beer was good, but charging $8 for what felt like half of a standard pour once again made the value feel questionable. This brings me to the biggest issue with Leon's. It feels like the restaurant invests far more in its atmosphere, interior design, and photogenic image than in its food. It's a place that looks incredible in pictures and is easy to recommend for the setting, but much harder to recommend for the cuisine itself. High prices are not a problem when they are backed by exceptional cooking. Here, however, it felt as though I was paying for the restaurant's reputation, constant stream of tourists, and social media appeal rather than for truly outstanding food. I would happily come back for a beer, enjoy the patio, and spend an evening with friends. But I wouldn't return specifically for the food. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation, that's the greatest disappointment of all.

    Wanted to try a new place, made reservations. The staff was super nice. - Order the pork belly…read moreburnt onions, which were a 3 out of 5. The texture was fine, but the flavor of the sauce was too sweet for me. It did come with a unique square of cornbread, which was really moist and good. - I ordered the wings because they needed the dressing. They came along with it to make the flavor profile. I wasn't a fan of them without the dressing. They were also a little dry. I would give them a 3 out of 5. - The appetizer, the cornbread itself, had a nice butter topping for it. The cornbread seemed to have corn bits in it, which were chewy, but the cornbread was also dry, so I'd have to give it a 2 out of 5. - The empanadas themselves were cooked a little long, but the filling was really good. The flavors of the corn and everything together made it a 5 out of 5. They were a little pricey for two empanadas, but it was the star of the meal. I would definitely say the empanadas are a 4 out of 5 only because of the quantity that you get for the price. - The mocktail that they made was super sour. It needed some simple syrup to tone it down, but flavor-wise, it was good. I would have to give the entire experience a 3 out of 5.

    We came in for a quick bite after walking the city for the day and I'm so glad that we did! We both…read moreselected tacos & both sets were incredible! I had the house chips as my side & hubs had the slaw. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Service was quick at the bar and our bartender was very attentive!
