    Wood Fired Oysters
    Bari T.

    First Visit to Husk -- Worth Every Bit of the Hype After hearing so much about Husk over the years, we finally made our first visit--and somehow it still exceeded every expectation. Housed in a beautifully restored historic Charleston home, Husk perfectly captures everything you love about the city's charm. From the moment you walk through the doors, the atmosphere feels warm, elegant, and inviting. We were seated upstairs in a gorgeous dining room where the tables were thoughtfully spaced, making the experience feel intimate rather than crowded. The hospitality was outstanding from start to finish, but our server, Chris, truly made the evening unforgettable. He welcomed us with genuine enthusiasm and, after taking our cocktail orders, walked us through the menu--which changes daily. Rather than simply listing dishes, Chris described each one in detail, explaining the flavors, ingredients, and preparations with such passion that you couldn't help but get excited about every option. It's rare to meet someone who so clearly loves what they do, and his knowledge and personality elevated our entire dining experience. We started with the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo and the Woodfired Oysters. The tuna, paired with delicate slices of cantaloupe, sounded like an unusual combination on paper, but somehow it was absolute perfection. Every bite was fresh, bright, and beautifully balanced. The oysters arrived warm, buttery, and perfectly seasoned--simple, yet incredibly satisfying. For my entrée, I ordered the Seared Diver Scallops served over creamed corn. I'll admit, I was hesitant because creamed corn has never been one of my favorites. But after Chris encouraged me to trust the dish--and after seeing how incredible the appetizers were--I went for it. I'm so glad I did. The scallops were perfectly seared, tender, and sweet, while the creamed corn was rich, fresh, and nothing like the version I had imagined. It completely changed my mind. My husband chose the Rabbit Roulade, which was cooked beautifully with just the right amount of spice to keep each bite interesting without overwhelming the dish. We also shared the Hearth-Baked Skillet Cornbread, and if you're debating whether to order it...don't. Just do it. It's absolutely worth it. Then came dessert. Chris walked us through several tempting options, including a mud pie, a watermelon ice pie, and a peach cobbler, along with Husk's house-made ice creams featuring flavors like Chocolate Peanut Butter and Key Lime Pie (plus a refreshing fruit sorbet). We settled on the Peach Cobbler along with scoops of the Chocolate Peanut Butter and Key Lime Pie ice creams. Every single bite was phenomenal. The cobbler tasted like summer in a bowl, while both ice creams were so flavorful and creamy that we kept passing them back and forth trying to decide which one we liked better. Spoiler alert: we never could. From the stunning historic setting and exceptional service to the thoughtfully crafted food, Husk delivered an experience that reminded us why Charleston has become such an incredible food destination. If Husk has been sitting on your "one day" list, consider this your sign. Make the reservation. Trust your server. Order dessert. And enjoy every single bite.

    We really enjoyed Husk! My husband & I dropped into the small bar area of husk for happy hour. It was a cute little bar with fabulous cocktails! I had a grapefruit cocktail & my husband had a fancy beer. The shaved ham on the burnt oak barrel was delicious. We really loved this place very high end feel

    Husk is a beautiful restaurant located in downtown Charleston. It has two side by side locations, one with the full food menu and one that is only bar seating with a more concise menu. My husband and I went to the restaurant side which is a large, redesigned Victorian style house. We went in as in Walk -Ins but reservations are recommended. The service was fast and the food was phenomenal. The beef tartare was fresh, and easily shareable. Cocktails were brought out fast and both tasted delicious. The scallops and pork chop were some of the best we've had. The only slightly disappointing dish was the corn bread which was on the more dry side, however the collards more than made up for it. The only downside to this restaurant were the flies, I felt like I was battling both large and fruit flies my entire meal. There were so many. We were inside so I'm not sure where they were coming from. Would've been 5 stars had it not been for this.

    This location came highly recommended by my hairstylist, who has exceptional taste in food. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a reservation at our usual dinner time, so we decided to try just a few items. We ordered the cornbread, which I had high hopes for; it was decently flavored but a bit on the dry side. The deviled eggs were delicious, though they were slightly too spicy for our liking. We finished them anyway. For dessert, we opted for the chocolate mint grasshopper dessert, which was absolutely phenomenal. Ordering drinks was a bit more challenging. Although they carry Licor 43, I was told they don't offer the Carajillo since they don't have coffee on-site. I found this strange because they did make an espresso martini for me. The waiter explained that they don't have the machine on-site but source nitro coffee from an alternative supplier. Overall, we were excited to try this restaurant due to all the positive reviews, but we found it a bit underwhelming, to be fair. We only sampled a few items.

    Amazing again, Husk just nails it every time. The restaurant and grounds are beautiful, the service is fantastic, and the menu all sounds so amazing it's hard to decide what to get so you just have to get it all :) Our waiter Rob was very nice and you could tell he enjoyed his job; he was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. This is the place I look forward to the most when we visit Charleston and I can't imagine a better way to end our trip when we visit. This trip, my favorite items was the chicken liver mousse, wow. Can't wait to come back.

    Impeccable brunch!! I had a reservation on a Sunday morning. I was promptly seated downstairs. The interior is feminine and beautiful. The service felt personal and welcoming. I tried the omelette which was stuffed with asparagus, Boursin cheese and caramelized onion. It was fluffy, light and salty. Also ordered a side of biscuits with strawberry jam which wasn't overly sweet and balanced out the butteriness. The husk mimosa was a hit as well. I'd definitely come back from brunch and curious to try for dinner!

    Back to visit Charleston and back to Husk! A+ meal and service! 4 people with various proteins and everyone's dinner was so very good! I had whole flounder that was beyond delicious. See you next visit!

    Yellowfin Tuna Crudo and Grouper Cheeks

    The wait was worth it. I've been wanting to come here for five years and I finally dined at this perfect restaurant on my recent trip to Charleston. We started off with drinks at the Husk bar next door and the drinks were phenomenal. We sat on the front porch of the restaurant until our table is ready and had a wonderful view of Queen Street. Everything about the meal was spectacular. We sat upstairs next to a window and had a great view of Queen Street again. We ordered the Grouper Cheeks and Tuna Crudo for appetizers and they were delicious. For dinner, our table ordered the scallops, tile fish, and brisket. Everything was amazing and I'm glad I finally made my way to Husk.

    Husk it has been a while, glad to be back for brunch on Saturday July 4th!! Greeted by Hostess found our reservation right away and seated us promptly!! Our waiter was not far behind ready to take our drink order. Great laid back atmosphere!! Looked at the Menu and we were ready to order. Three of us went with the Fried Chicken with Chamomile Honey Buttermilk Biscuit and Pickles!! Oh So Good, the Fried Chicken is nice a crispy outside and juicy inside, Outstanding Flavor!! Our other guest had the Husk Cheeseburger with Fries, hey I got a little taste of the fries and they are frankly outstanding, perfectly seasoned!! Oh and the burger was fantastic as well! Husk you helped to make our July 4th Special, Thank You!! You easily earn these 5 Stars !! Keep it up!! I'll Be Back!!

    Our Husk experience was outstanding! From the moment we were seated to the end we felt special and appreciated as a customer. Guy, our waiter was fantastic, as were all of the other supporting staff that kept our drinks filled and food served quickly. Pics speak a thousand words. Restaurant was very clean and great ambiance. Food was delicious!

    Strawberries & cream shortcake (Hokkaido sponge cake, strawberries, cookie crumbles, meringue, Aleppo)
    Ann T.

    We had dinner at Husk in the upstairs bar, which had a great atmosphere and background music (Blues). Loved the drinks, ham, pimento cheese, and Parker house rolls. Also had an amazing deconstructed strawberries and cream shortcake with freeze dried meringue. Will be back!

    Burger and fries. Very tasty and a large portion.
    Josh M.

    Husk was a fun experience. We sat outside on the upstairs balcony, which was quite lovely. The ambiance is a perfect Charleston feel. The service was ok, our waitress was not the most pleasant, but that's not a deal breaker. The food was very good. We had the biscuits as an appetizer. They were tasty, and the butter was phenomenal, however, for the price , I would expect more than 2 medium size biscuits. For our entree we had the burger. The burger patties are cooked with bacon, which gave them a unique but delicious flavor. It certainly was a lot of food with the fries, so we definitely had leftovers. Overall, our experience at Husk was very enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone.

    Yellowfin tina crudo & beef tar tar
    Carolyn H.

    Went for the first time and it did not disappoint! Seems to me like a quintessential Charleston restaurant. We were able to get a reservation last minute and so glad we did! The inside is beautiful, the service was attentive. We got the crudo, tar tar, ribeye, skillet corn bread (like a warm hug), cabbage pancake with crab meat, and the scallops. We ordered 3 desserts- all were delicious. The ribeye was perfectly Cooked to our requested temperature, medium rare. Everything was delicious!

    Ask the Community - Husk

    Do they really included a 20% gratuity on in-dining? I read it on the website afterwards- so I guess I tipped 40% - very deceiving

    No, they don't. Nor is it shown as a disclaimer on their menu.

    How hot is it in July on the porch for dinner? Resy says they've got fans, but if it's unbearable, would like to know. Thanks!

    Hot! Uncomfortable to enjoy a meal. Highly recommended eating indoors

    What's the dress code?

    You can glam it up or be casual.

    Does Husk accept walk ins or are reservations required?

    If they have an opening they do accept walk-ins but they tend to be fully booked.

    Is this place walker accessible?

    Yes it is. I'd recommend calling in advance so they seat you in the rooms more accessible at the door. It's a spacious restaurant with various areas.

    Is there a dress code?

    Most people dress nicely to enjoy a meal at this restaurant - however I don't believe management specifically states a level of dress in order to dine there.

    Do they offer Vegetarian entrees?

    I do know their menu changes often. Weekly perhaps. You could probably order a "vegetable platter " and not be disappointed. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

    Is there a military discount offered?

    We don't know. I researched it on the Net. Came up empty. Best to call them.

    Do servers wear masks?

    Yes

    Is there bar seating for cocktail around 5:00pm?

    Yes, but you'll need reservations even for the bar. The bartenders are fabulous!

    Is there a kid's menu or kid-friendly options?

    No. Not a good place for kids

    Is there a tasting menu option and if so, how much does it typically cost?

    No, standard a la carte menu.

    Would it be okay to bring a newborn and toddler here for dinner? Newborn just sleeps. Toddler roams. Too fancy a place?

    Please don't, the roaming is unacceptable in any restaurant, but especially here.

    Hoping it's less pricey at lunch. Is there a separate lunch menu?

    Yes, the best way to go for a less expensive experience is either lunch or the bar menu. In my opinion one of the best things on their entire menu is their burger, which is also one of the cheapest things--and NOT available on the dinner menu, only…

Our bartenders were also phenomenal and really added to the experience. We came to celebrate during my birthday and started with a champagne flight, which was such a fun touch. For food, we ordered the steak and eggs and the Applewood bacon omelette. My girlfriend's steak and eggs were phenomenal. Truly no notes. Everything was cooked well, the pacing was great, and we never felt rushed. I ordered the Applewood bacon omelette, and this was really my only disappointment. There was almost too much bacon, which sounds ridiculous to complain about, but hear me out. The bacon was diced extremely fine, almost to the consistency of bacon bits, while the onions were left sliced. I think it would have worked much better if either the bacon had been cut a little larger or the onions had been diced down to match. The textures just felt mismatched. I could absolutely see the vision, and the flavor was there, but the execution was a little off. I ended up regretting my choice a little and wishing I had ordered the mushroom omelette instead. That is definitely what I'll be trying next time. I also wish there had been an option to substitute the home fries. This is definitely more of a personal preference, but home fries feel so overdone as a brunch side, and I would have loved another option. Those were really my only critiques in an otherwise fantastic experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, the bartenders were phenomenal, the pacing was great, and the food overall was delicious. Church and Union is absolutely somewhere I would come back to, whether for another celebration, brunch, or a date night.
