    Edmonds OriginalThanksgiving Day Buffet did not disappoint. The staff were amazing and friendly. The service was great for such a busy day. The buffet was never empty. Wonderful variety of food to choose from. The Prime Rib was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. Many choices of side dishes including 2 types of rices, macaroni and cheese, stuffing. Crispy potatoes, yams, green beans just to name a few. The ambiance was relaxing and decorations were great, This is becoming one of my favorite traditions for thanksgiving. I would highly recommend Edmunds Original for your thanksgiving giving meal. If you are in the Charleston area and want some amazing food or some great hand crafted adult beverages, I would recommend Edmund's Original . They also have a nice court yard patio area to sit down and enjoy your lunch or dinner and have one of their hand crafted adult beverages.

    Chicken Gumbo @tiffhuangry

    It was a cold and rainy night... but we were determined to bring our pup to dinner. Edmund's Oast has a dog friendly covered patio, the Bower, that kept us dry and a little warm on a cold winter evening. There's a separate menu at the Bower than dining in the main dining room - but we got to try exactly what we wanted. Order food and drink at the bar - we didn't have a server. But first off, drinks. We started with some cocktails - The Red Wedding and How About One. Both were boozy and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the Red Wedding's hibiscus tea ice cubes! We wanted something simple but hearty - the fried chicken meal was perfect for that. We chose the Garlic Crab flavored 2-piece meal (which comes with collards and pasta salad) and also ordered the chicken combo (which was a daily special that day). Both were fantastic and perfect for a cold day. And of course, we don't leave a meal with a sweet treat. The snickerdoodle cookie sandwich was the perfect way to end the night. I was also curious about the Peanut Butter & Jelly beer, a lactose beer. It really did remind me of a PBJ, in a creamy and pleasant way. Hopefully the next time I'm back in town, it won't be so freaking cold LOL and we can enjoy the outdoor patio in better weather. Because the food and drinks are definitely worth it!

    I visited on a Thursday night and the place was packed! We ordered the fried chicken, catfish, mac & peas, and mushroom & noodles -- every dish was comforting yet had its own twist. The fried chicken was perfectly crispy without being greasy, the catfish was tender and flavorful, the mac & peas was creamy with just the right amount of bite, and the mushroom & noodles had a rich, earthy flavor that made it impossible to stop eating. What makes this spot stand out is the story and atmosphere. The space feels both polished and welcoming, and whether you're seated inside at a booth or out in the sunny patio (The Bower), it's a place you'll want to keep returning to. Service was warm and attentive and the drink list was just as thoughtfully crafted as the food. I left already planning my next visit -- there are so many other menu items I want to try.

    I've been wanting to try this restaurant so we stopped in on Saturday. First, it took us 10-15 minutes just to find the entrance. Nice atmosphere on the inside and the staff is also very friendly and conduct themselves as professionals. Now, let's get into this Chicken!! The chicken was beautiful and fried perfectly to perfection but the only disappointment was the lack of SEASONING! If you're selling fried chicken, it needs to be able to stand on its own without the sauces! Once I dipped it in sauce it was much better but I'm just not a dipper. As far as the sides went, both the collards & the pasta salad were screaming for SUGAR & SALT!! I'm from Charleston and we put sugar in our greens & mayonnaise based salads. Again, cooked to perfection but lacked seasoning. I blamed myself for not having a pack of sugar in my purse and the salt shaker on the table didn't have much in it so can I get some salt around here!!

    Cute spot. Service was a little slow, but they had a large table. I had the Korean meatballs and they were tasty. I also tried a sour coconut lime beer that was good. Cheesecake was tasty as well. Plenty of beer choices! 48 drafts listed on wall. Cocktails are also available. I would recommend!

    Softshell crab sandwich with papaya salad
    Linda W.

    Great food, efficient service, and a nicely maintained and well managed outdoor area, The Bower, where you can get food before 5 when the restaurant opens for dinner. The softshell crab sandwich with papaya salad was excellent, a perfectly prepared crispy fried crab in black pepper tempura, ripe tomato slices, a bit of mayo or some dressing and a good fresh roll. There's a selection of wine, a THC seltzer. and ciders besides beer.

    We just came in from out of town looking for an elevated casual dinner and definitely made the right choice with Edmund's. We had their whole fish special, mac and peas, crispy potatoes, and bok choy. All were delicious. Everything on the menu sounded good, I would come back to try more. Also the hostess is an angel.

    I arrived at Edmund's Oast shortly after a full day of air travel delays. I hadn't eaten yet and was rabidly hangry. My friend and I decided to sit outside given the nice weather, and we ordered at the counter. The guy working was brand new and had some trouble with my light order modifications. I ordered the Italian sandwich plus a side of curly fries. Both were huge. I definitely overate. Everything was tasty though. After we had a couple beers outside and finished our meals/cleaned up after ourselves, we headed inside and sat at the large bar. The ambiance inside was so cool, but also the a/c was blasting, like it was genuinely frigid. We had a few beers there, all sours, but ended up bouncing after that because it was far too cold to be enjoyable. If you're looking for quality beer, be sure to check out Edmund's Oast. Just wear a sweater.

    Peanut butter Cup Pie

    Real cool vibe both indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor is full restaurant, outdoor more limited menu. Had the Korean 'meatballs, and the soft-shell crabs sandwich. All were delicious. Service was great. Peanut butter cup pie was great finisher to a great meal.

    My family and I came here as a party of 8 and we were sat in Shane's section. She was wonderful and helped with great recommendations, gave plenty of time with the menu and looking over the drink menu. My family loved everything they ordered and one of the absolute favorites was the fried chicken! Everyone could not stop talking about how delicious it was. I personally was unable to try the other food due to my celiac disease but I spoke with Shane and she was super kind about finding options of what I could eat, I went with the salt chicken. I must say the dish was mainly rice, green curry and parsley but you get a cutlet of some kind of breading that's salty and does fall apart with very thin amount of chicken protein. I personally was not impressed with this dish but I would say the gluten free key lime pie is delicious and a must try!

    Artisan Artisan Meat Share Burger
    Ryan D.

    Tough review to decide on. Artisan Burger (7.5/10) - this is a good burger. It's a double patty with white American, bacon jam, shredded iceberg lettuce, white onion, jalapeño and mustard. The burger blend is good, the patties are thicker than a smash burger and had good seasoning and a good sear. They were cooked medium-well but still juicy. They were densely packed though, so they had a bit of a spongy texture. The bacon jam was almost nonexistent and imparted a little sweetness and no detectable bacon flavor. The burger could have used more. The white onion slices are cut too thick and can over power a bite. The jalapeños are a nice addition and weren't too spicy. Slightly disappointed given the hype. Fries (6/10) - a large basket of curly fries that could feed 3. That makes the $7 price reasonable if you are sharing, but ordering it just myself I would prefer less fries for a cheaper price or a homemade fry for that price. It's also strange to serve a frozen fry with an elevated/gourmet style burger.

    Visited with friends, a group of 5 on a Tuesday night. While we had reservations, it did not appear they were needed. Here is what we liked: * Outdoor beer area was nice, had a drink while we waited for our last person to arrive. Service was quite good at the outdoor bar. * The salad as a main course are huge. Friend took most of hers home. * Drink selection was good. We enjoyed our cocktails. * The crispy garlic potatoes as a side were perfect. * The cooked cabbage side was delicious. * service was attentive and helpful. Here is what could of been better: * The collards were probably in the bottom 2 worse I've ever had. Just salty and not good. * The spicy Korean meatballs were incredibly dry, almost over cooked? * The pimento cheese plate was unique. Had nuts and stuff and in my opinion over complicated the cheese. Overall it was a nice night. I wish there were 1/2 stars as this was better than a 3 but not quite 4. Parts of the meal were outstanding and other parts were just mediocre. And for the price, it should be outstanding.

    Very nice brewery, a lot to choose from. Leather Jacket Porter and Heat Ray IPA were our choices, both quite nice. Huge outdoor patio with its own bar for busy times. Blue Crab hush puppies were excellent. LJ is a great beertender.

    Curly Fries ( I usually don't care for Curly Fries but these were alright. They came out crispy and hot)

    Yes! Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating areas.

    Do they offer reservations?

    Yes, via Resy

    Do you offer indoor or outdoor dining at this time?

    Are there plenty of gluten free optoons?

    Yes

    Is this kid friendly? Is there a kid's menu?

    If kids like cheese and meat trays, then they can find something. These are haute food creations and no kids menu.

    Yes! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed all the food, different flavors, and watching the kitchen work. Two thumbs up from us!

    There's a parking lot or street parking. It's not huge so fills up quickly.

    Do they serve lunch and dinner?

    Yes and it's amazing

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Excellent question, Having been there a few times I did not notice any precious pups. My guess is 'Not allowed' but call too be certain. Good luck..

I also got a glass of wine, which I was happy they had wine as an option ...not all breweries do that. My husband got the double cheeseburger with a side of crispy potatoes and a beer. We came around 430pm and sat by the benches below because the upstairs tables were full already so come early. They give you a number so they can easily find you. The food came fast, and it was delicious. The burger had lots of flavor and was the perfect size. The potatoes fried in beef tallow were crispy and delicious. It was my first time trying something fried in beef tallow and I can confirm it does not make it taste beefy Needless to say we will definitely be back!!
