One of the best meals of our tip in Charleston. A fine dining experience and definitely worth every penny. But make sure you get reservations in advance, we came on a Saturday and got the reservation about 1 month prior. To start, wait staff were fabulous and the restaurant has an old house type feel. I ordered a Wendy peppercorn to start with infused tequila, it was the right amount of sweetness from the strawberry ($16). We started with deviled eggs, which are some of the best I've ever had. They had sweetness from the bacon jam, and saltiness from the whipped cheese with a kick of jalapeño ($15). The cornbread was good, but nothing out of this world ($10). The mains were the scallops ($54), mushroom and ricotta cavatelli ($35), and beef short rib ($45). Our favorite was the Cavatelli (very rich and creamy), the scallops (cooked perfectly, very tender with a good sear) and the chimichurri on the beef short rib. We also got the chocolate strawberry cream cake to end the night, with rich chocolate cake on the bottom and a cheesecake-like strawberry topping ($12). Overall, we had a fabulous time from drinks to food it was all fabulous. If you're in Charleston and looking for a fine dining experience, I would highly recommend. read more

Husk is hands down the MUST go to brunch spot in Charleston if you're visiting. Best meal we had by far. The portions are huge and the food is incredible. We did the ham and pimento cheese plate and I had shrimp and grits. 10/10. No notes. read more

Plan far ahead if you want to eat here. I reserved a few weeks in advance and it was either 5:15 or 9:30 so I took 5:15. Table not quite ready when I arrived. Waiting area was not so nice (just 1 chair in the hall) so I asked to wait in the patio. They accommodated but seemed surprised. Annoyed that my reservation was for 2 but I was 1? But that was their advice to get through the reservations page online when I called; no option for 1. Just 5 minutes. I was soon seated and relaxed. Relaxation aided by an excellent Old-Fashioned: strong, supercold, assertive bitters, the sweet oily vapors from the orange peel. Repeat: strong. I have trouble with cocktails before food so I hoped for bread and beckoned my waitress over after a few sips. Strangely, they have none, neither complimentary nor for a price. But they did have "Hearth Baked Skillet Cornbread, Broadbent's Bacon Crumble" so I ordered that though I knew I'd be taking much of it home. Several other fascinating-sounding cocktails I would have loved to try, perhaps the Sizzle Reel (grilled pineapple infused tequila, cilantro, jalapeno, lime). I decided one of their cocktails was all I could handle though I did manage an excellent glass of Pinot with my entree. The timing was not quite right because the my appetizer arrived before the bread. In fairness I did order them in that order but I did say I wanted the cornbread first with my drink. I must have said something to the runner that came off as a complaint which he passed on to the waitress. Good communication between the staff; appreciated. When she came back to check on me I assured her all was good but thanked her for checking. The cornbread was served in an individual skillet. Dense but not leady, not greasy, smoky from the bacon, sea salt flakes on top, not a trace of sweetness - the way I like it. Appetizer: "Snowy Grouper Tartare, Strawberry Leche de Tigre, Crispy Tempura". Very pretty, the colorful marinade filling half the round dish and the tartare the other half. The crispy tempura was a pleasing tactile contrast. The Leche de Tigre was delicious but perhaps too assertive for the tartare; The macerated strawberries and mint on the tartare were all that was needed. But the sauce was so good by itself that I casually mentioned to my waitress I wished I had a spoon, not really asking, and before I knew it she returned with one! Again, excellent service. I decided to test my waitress. Not being an expert I googled "what wine goes with rabbit" and consensus was Pinot Noir. I told her I was having trouble deciding among the glass offerings and she she suggested that Pinot Noir goes really well with my entree. I agreed and thanked her for the suggestion. She really knew her stuff. Entree was "Blue Ridge Rabbit Pot Pie, Lowland Carrots, Puff Pastry." Like the cornbread, an individual pie served in a skillet. Mildly seasoned (as appropriate). Puff pastry was at once flaky and stretchy; perfect texture. The rabbit tasted like chicken dark meat, though really all rabbit is classified as white meat. Al-dente carrots and onions that still had some crunch left. My only complaint - minor - is the filling could have been more liquidy with gravy. A generous size portion but which I had no trouble finishing. I would have loved to try their desserts. Just three offered, but the Robert Redford Pie (chocolate pastry cream, peanut butter cream cheese mousse, chocolate cookie crust, whipped cream, peanut brittle) called out to me. Sadly I was too full. But they also had a selection of 5 house-made ice creams - for just $4. Perfect. I got the Dulce and Banana. It was dense and smooth like a good gelato, with strong banana flavor. Again, I asked my waitress to suggest a wine to go with dessert. I told her I was getting the ice cream. She asked which because it matters. Correct. I told her. She suggested something - I forget what - which I agreed to. But they were out of it so she brought something else (again, I forget but I think a madeira and went very well), apologized and told me there would be no charge! I never would have asked but a very nice gesture. The room was bright, with muted tones of green and taupe, one wall composed of see-through nooks filled with flower vases. The feel of the room was more casual than I was expecting, and that's good. There was one couple seated near me with a 3-year-old child who was getting an amazing meal: baked oysters, garlic mushrooms from the parents' plates. No kids meal for this child - not that they were offered here. She loved it and her expressions of fascination as she looked around the room told me she was having a good time indeed. Excellent parents. I was on the fence about the rating. Minor flaws in the food, lack of bread, and limited menu options made me consider only a 4-star rating (weighted against other top-tier restaurants in this class). But the excellent service and ambience easily made up for these trivialities so in the end I went with the 5. read more

Ambiance and setting- 10/10 Food- 9/10 $$$- Expensive Service- 9/10 Coming from NYC I did not think I would find Charleston expensive but $39 for a plate of veg pasta was a bit of a shock to the system. Having said that- the food is awesome and worth every penny. So is the setting in the old house with xmas lights. Service was great. Definitely recommend read more

Here we go with another 4.5 star review! First visit. Great food. Great service but my first time 5s are special. This has all the bells and whistles but limited in bathrooms. Our waiter was superb! I believe his name was Nick? It's been a while but we were celebrating Bae's birthday. They even printed happy birthday on the menu! Plus they actually read the reservation comments. The noise level was a bit too loud for what appears to be a luxe fairly intimate fine dining establishment. Or maybe I'm just used to folks getting quiet when eating really good food, lol!

Been to Husk twice. Once for brunch and the other for dinner. Both meals and times were an exceptional experience. Staff were the epitome of Southern hospitality. They were very helpful with explaining the menu and any questions about the menu items. For brunch their apple donuts were crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. I only ate one at the restaurant and the rest were eaten hours later but even then it was delicious. For dinner we had the wood fired oysters and ink gemelli with okra. I have never eaten okra but in the ink gemelli due to how thinly cut it was... it was not slimy looking or texturally slimy to eat. It paired well with the ink gemelli and provided a crunchy texture. It is a must go to when in town. read more

We enjoyed our meal at Husk, but truthfully not blown away. The mismatch between the pricing and the portions is a big part of it. There was nothing wrong with the meals, but definitely weren't overly stuffed by the end of the night. Staff and service was very good. Made reservations in advance. read more

We came in for an early dinner without reservations and were lucky enough to get an upper floor balcony table. The ambience was serene and a great way to chill out with our pre-dinner drinks. I had heard great things about the chicken, so I got that, which came out in a half chicken portion, smaller than a grocery store chicken because it was a premium local product, but definitely enough for me. We also got four sides. The heirloom beans were the standout. I'd post a picture but the visual doesn't do it justice. It was a delicious medley with wonderful flavor. We really scraped the bottom of the bowl for that one. Another standout was the asparagus in the miso-romesco sauce. Spicy and flavorful and really just perfect. The desserts looked great, but we were really too full. Would highly recommend read more

Food was fantastic, service not so great, was expecting some southern hospitality, our server may have been new, he didn't know much about the menu, ingredients in certain dishes and not all that friendly. But their chicken dish was awesome, I could eat it every day. read more

Husk is known for their amazing dinner menu but let's talk about their brunch! In similar fashion the menu rotates so don't get too attached to anything on the menu but that's what makes it exciting and fun and a new experience every time you come. It also means you're enjoying what's fresh and in season. My favorite thing about Husk is that you can taste the quality of the ingredients. The service is always top notch and the environment is exactly what you want when you think Charleston. Tucked on narrow Queen st. It's got that inviting timeless entrance instead of a typical commercial restaurant that you would see on King. I looked high and low for apple cider donuts in the low country this fall. So when I saw apple cider beignets on the menu, I knew I had to get there for brunch. They were the stuff of dreams. Delightfully fluffy, incredibly flavorful and paired with an apple crumble at the bottom. I also enjoyed the pork with red bean gravy, hash brown and eggs (also I prefer my eggs a touch more on the over medium side, the quality is unmatched). The pork is flavorful and tender and the red bean gravy was the perfect amount of rich and hearty without leaving me feeling like I binged 10000 calories. Given that this is traditionally a dinner restaurant, they only offer drip coffee, and I am a latte or a cappuccino drinker. I'd love to see espresso drinks make the menu and their nighttime cocktail list could include an espresso martini with real espresso but the drip coffee got me caffeinated for the day! If you're looking for brunch, don't sleep on this one. It's del read more

Husk is an amazing experience, especially with its ever-evolving menu of modern Southern cuisine. I had the charcuterie board with pimento cheese and red chili crisp, and the chicken fried blue Ridge rabbit with Creole mayo and garnished with popcorn. Both dishes were incredible and not to be missed. read more

Husk is a taste of old Charleston. The dining room is historic and elegant. The table lamps are beautiful, and it's not too dark or too loud. The entire staff is super knowledgeable and very friendly. And our food was delicious and well-prepared, if not super innovative. We liked the cocktails, which ran a little sweet and very drinkable. The tuna crudo was light and delicious, with very fresh fish (I question the peanuts -- do they go with raw tuna?). The wood fired oysters were a real treat, and we also really enjoyed the meaty, perfectly rendered pork ribs (which could have used a touch more sauce?). The tilefish was expertly prepared in some very light curry, and the diver scallops were likewise perfectly done accompanied with some good (but not super interesting) potatoes. We ended the night splitting a piece of chocolate cake, which was like the rest of the meal: very satisfying and mostly traditional. We spent a lovely two hours at Husk. It has a relaxing and friendly vibe that made me feel right at home. The food was pretty good too. Dinner for two with cocktails, three appetizers, two entrees, and chocolate cake ran about $250. read more

Every item was SO salty (and I like salt) it was inedible. We ask our server about it and he was rude. This has been a while ago, so maybe it is better. It was truly the worst meal my husband and I have ever had. read more

This place comes highly recommended by tik tok, Charleston natives and foodies. Fellas get a reservation first. Second this place used to be someone's home and now it's the restaurant. The drinks are really good and I had the Bourbon Pear'n. For dinner we had the catfish and the sword fish. For starters we had the oysters and dumplings. The vibes is really amazing and staff is nice too. read more

We had an 8:30 pm reservation and were a little worn out. The staff seated and greeted us quickly. It took about 5 minutes before we saw our waiter, Kevin. He was nice enough, just not very enthusiastic about much on the menu. Service was a little slow, but we were in no rush. Our appetizer of pimento cheese, country ham and biscuits was OUTSTANDING!! Honestly, we should've just stopped there and left super satisfied. Our main portions were ok. I had the rabbit roulade. It was a little on the dry side. My friend and the pork chop and said it was very tasty. The skillet cornbread was delicious. Lovely intimate restaurant with lots of moving parts, but noise level was manageable. We would definitely return, based on pimento cheese and biscuits alone! read more

Went to Husk with the girlfriend. We had the ham and biscuits appetizer, she had the pork chop, I had the swordfish, we shared a side of squash and another of cornbread, and the coffee & chocolate budino for dessert. Was not too shocked by the price, even though it was quite high, but it is typical for this type of restaurant. The food itself was really good! I am normally not a fan of "fancy food" where the menu feels like a bunch of random ingredients thrown together into nothing quite identifiable as a known food (like the harissa spaetzel on my plate), but I think Husk nailed it. Girlfriend loved her drinks. Our server Kevin was personable and had a great understanding of the menu. The atmosphere was typical for downtown Charleston, an old big house turned into a restaurant. Overall I liked Husky and so did the girlfriend. The changing menu encourages us to return, even though the wallet damage was fairly high. read more

My favorite restaurant in Charleston! Reservations needed? Yes, we came on a weeknight and it was still packed Vegetarian friendly? YES! The chef made us a vegetarian dish and was perfect to share between 2 people - it was a LOT of food but also well-proportioned (see picture - great if you don't like your food to touch LOL) Drinks: we got the Hell's Belles and the Punch. The Hell's Belles was unique - get it if you like more savory cocktails. The punch was a favorite of both of ours - no matter what i think you should try the punch and Husk's unique recipe! Food: Like i said above, the food was my favorite in Charleston! For starters we got the pimento cheese (not that unique here TBH) and the okra (cooked great!) the standout here was our main course - we got collard greens, peppers, and this rice/grits option. Loved the small-plates style and 1 vegetarian plate was enough for both of us. Dessert: we were so stuffed by the time we got dessert but the buttermilk ice cream was phenomenal! I have never had anything like it Ambiance: cozy and comfortable. The weather was great for outdoor seating and loved the home-like atmosphere read more

One of my friends recommended Husk for dinner on our trip and we decided to take his suggestion! This was a really cool spot and I appreciated the vibe - it was fancy without being stuffy and felt really comfortable. We were seated upstairs and I felt that our service was on point - we didn't wait too long for anyone to come check on us, and we had enough privacy in the room with a few other tables to enjoy some quiet. I appreciated the semi-simple menu with the amazing options that were featured. The steak tartare was SO GOOD and I loved the crispy potato as a substitute for a chip or other vessel. It was a unique take on the dish and I appreciated what they were doing! Let me tell you about the skillet cornbread with bacon crumble.... WOW. It had the absolute perfect texture, including the crispy bottom, and I could have eaten the entire thing by myself. Super tasty treat. My husband ordered the fried catfish with red rice and collard greens and he LOVED it. The bite that I had was really good, so I trust his review ;) I had asked our server for a recommendation between the chicken and the rabbit dishes and he said to go with rabbit. I was excited for something different and special but was sadly not the biggest fan of the dish. My husband thought it was great and he had a few bites - so I'm glad it wasn't wasted. I think it was just something with my taste but the mortadella-like texture and outer ham crust was just not for me. Nothing against the chef - just not my vibe. Overall - this was a great meal, a great experience and a fun night. I'll be back! read more

My friendsand I went to the bar at Husk the other week on a Friday towards the end of the evening. From the moment our ID's were checked at the door, we received a lot of hostility from the bartender. I understand that we were coming in late, but the kitchen was still open for 25 minutes, and we all knew exactly what we wanted (burgers). He told us that we could order "if we wanted the kitchen staff to hate their lives". Luckily we were able to get food, which was absolutely delicious. However when we thanked them for letting us get food when we were leaving and my friend commiserated stating that she's been in the industry for years and was grateful for letting us order, the same angry man responded with "you're literally 24 years old, you haven't been in any industry for years". We're local and have always had good experiences here, but that night truly left a bad taste in our mouths. read more

Charming place with a welcoming staff (Leslie was great). Started with the deviled eggs which have a nice kick and wonderful flavor. My wife and I had never had rabbit so she had the rabbit andouille sausage pasta and I had roasted rabbit gumbo. Both were loaded with flavor and we recommend. Had bourbon and wine and ended with the corn caramel ice cream and chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Great meal with a variety of flavors. Check it out. read more

Bartenders were disappointing- clearly annoyed to be working -We have been there 8 x over last 4 years and always loved it.

My daughter booked this spot for our dinner for our first night during a girls weekend trip. The menu changes each day so we were so sure what we would order. Jeremy's recommendations were great and his service was top notch. We enjoyed the experience of the deviled eggs. These are not your typical deviled eggs that grandma makes. Deviled eggs, pappy, smoked trout roe, caviar, horseradish pickles. This was a whole experience with the appetizers. Next we had our dinner which my daughter order me the lamb and pasta and I order the super tender short ribs and grits. That cornbread, I will dream about that skillet cornbread. Get it if you get nothing else, get that, you will not be disappointed. Incredible atmosphere, outstanding service, and top notch food. Be sure to make reservations to ensure you do not miss out! read more

You never know what to expect at HUSK! Everything is locally sourced and farm to table. The menu changes weekly and the expertly crafted dishes are perfect for a highly developed palate. The indoor and outdoor environment are also aesthetically pleasing. All fit for a queen (pun intended) as it's located on Queen street. Definitely one of Charleston's best. Be sure to make reservations well in advance of your visit as it can have a several week or month wait. read more

Amazing food and ambiance but so overpriced it's just not worth it. The servers are all lovely and friendly especially the hosts.

I'm sorry but this restaurant pushed a porterhouse steak that they do not know how to cook. We ordered 33 oz. They told us the smallest size they had was 42 oz. We ended up going with the larger size. We're talking about a $160 steak here. They completely botched it. We asked for it to be cooked medium. They brought out this bloody mess. We sent it back and asked it to be cooked a little longer. It came back still bloody. Idk this is just not how to cook a steak. This is pretty rare if you ask me. Waitress was fantastic and would've earned this place a better review however it was so hot and humid. AC was broken so we pretty much sweated the entire dinner. read more

Husk - This is a "medium" steak - American Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Overall: A great restaurant with lots of flavor and style. The good: The hot lamb dumplings were spicy and delicious! Tender, juicy, and had plenty of filling. We also had a snapper with risotto, both of which had strong, rich flavors. The filet was buttery yet highlighted the fish, and the risotto was creamy and cooked to perfection. The service was particularly slow the day we were there, but the manager took off $30 from our bill unprompted. It was definitely a nice surprise, especially given that we didn't really mind the wait. Atmosphere is intimate and refined, and the waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. The not-so-good: Didn't particularly enjoy the turnips with the snapper, and the ink rigatoni was just "fine"; nothing to write home about. Prices are a little too high.

A Charleston staple for it all. They know how to do hospitality and service as well as food. Went for Sunday brunch and I had a muffin sandwich with fried egg and delicious bacon and a vinegar med tomato- (never would have thought of adding the vinegar, but it was a home run. Great meld of flavors. Tasted (and finished!) my daughters pecan praline goody- it was outstanding. Reminiscent of a tea time tassie cookie. Delish! read more

WOW!!! What a treat to be able to have eaten here!! The ambiance of this restaurant shows true southern charm. The cocktail and drink menu is extensive and the service is out of this world. Trained professionals that are with you through the night. The homemade biscuits with pimento cheese and ham, HOLY COW!!!! The cornbread is light and airy! That is one way to start a meal off. The short rib with potatoes melts in your mouth and a must order. Truly an amazing experience here, and you are in Charleston get reservations if you can because they book up quickly!! read more

My family and I ate at Husk on our first night in Charleston, South Carolina. It definitely was an amazing introduction to Lowcountry food. The tuna Crudo was amazing. The sauce was delicious and had just the right touch of flavor, chili, oil, and complexity. Wife and I had the short rib which was very good. My son had the swordfish, which had a interesting smoky sauce. Ambience is very nice and service was impeccable. Great dinner! read more

We visited Husk for our anniversary dinner upon high recommendations and we were completely delighted. The ambiance at the upper floor balcony was intimate and had a pretty view of the street. We loved the wood-fired oysters with jerk spice and chicken cracklings with a glass of white wine, then devoured some shrimp dumplings with cabbage and sweet mint. The grouper cheeks were tender and melted in our mouths, but it could have used a little more seasoning. We finished with another glass of wine and watched people on the street. Altogether a satisfying meal. read more

We came in early and had dinner at the bar, which was an overall lovely experience! This place had the best drinks we had during our entire Charleston trip. Loved the innovative cocktails that were each mixed to perfection. We started with the hot chicken dumplings which were very tasty and VERY spicy! We also ordered the skillet cornbread (which was very savory and corny -- loved it with the whipped butter) and the porchetta. I probably wouldn't have ordered the porchetta as my first pick, but it had a lot of variety of flavors and was very well cooked! The service was really prompt and quick, except we waited quite a while for our entree. But the vibe was so fun and cool and the drinks were so good that it didn't matter too much. read more

Husk was an absolute dream. The restaurant is incredibly charming and looks exactly as one would picture. The staff was amazing and service excellent. I dined outside on the second story veranda, which was lovely. My old fashioned was impeccable. The smoked ribs were tender and flavorful and the chicharron provided a nice crunch. The duck confit was rich and delicious. And the chocolate hazelnut dessert the perfect ending. I'd return to Husk in a heartbeat. read more

Husk is not only an absolutely beautiful restaurant and home; but the food is wonderful too! This restaurant was highly recommended by a trusted source and it was difficult to get a reservation on Resy. However, I was staying close by and walked over to put my name down in person. I even got to the restaurant 30 minutes before my reservation and was seated immediately on the porch which was my first choice- what great luck! I got to try the: Field greens salad - A bit on the salty and heavier side...however, I would recommend pairing this with a wine or drink to balance out. Pork ribeye with heirloom baked beans - Smoky, delicious and perfectly cooked. It was about medium-rare and the beans paired very well with the pork slices. Mississippi Mud Pie - YUM! Mud pies are very hard to come by for me. True story, I asked about dessert before even ordering anything on the menu. As they say, dessert goes to the heart. The chocolate cake was perfectly moist and decadent. The coffee ice cream was a little more on the bitter side; I'd caution those who are sensitive to caffeine that this may keep you up at night. Nonetheless, the lack of sleep was well worth the try. I'd recommend making reservations if you can ahead of time due to the high demand or if you can't get a reservation, try contacting them or swinging by if you're in the area to see if there were any cancellations. read more

Had to try, saw much about this place, great ambience and the smells from outside were amazing! We had to make a reservation about 2-3 weeks in advance, for 2, and could only get 9pm on a Saturday, no holiday, in early Feb. With all the raving reviews and the amount of people here (PACKED) I had very high expectations. Even though our reservation was around 9, we only got seated 20-25 minutes after our reservation time. Then it took about 10 minutes to even get water or see our waiter. I get it's busy and there's staff shortage everywhere but even tables that sat around the same time of us were getting served sooner. Service didn't get much better from there.... When the restaurant emptied out around 10:30-11 pm, we ordered just 2 scoops of ice cream and that took almost 20 minutes to make it to our table in a near empty restaurant. The staff definitely prioritized cleaning up and putting away everything, just not us ... would have been 3 stars because of service alone but the food-- Food was delicious!! We had the rabbit pot pie which was so tender and flavorful. Loved the flaky/crunchy pastry. The meat was not gamey at all! We also had a southern fried rice dish which was THE BEST - crispy, blasts of flavor from the sauces with that Asian chili oil finish. I loved the combo of a southern/Asian dish with rice (an import the area was known for!) The sea bass we had was alright. The sweet potato sauce that dressed it was decadent, but the fish itself was bland. Corn bread is large for a party of two... it's a shame they only make a large chunk considering how many couples I saw eating there. Ice cream was interesting.... We loved the banana rum but not the other, too sweet and fudgy. Overall, a good place to try if it's your first time down and you can snag a reservation but I wouldn't be too pressed to get one.More like 3.5-4. read more
