Locals call this place Fast and French. This place has weird service most of the time just FYI (weird meaning...not the best). BUT it has one cute/long/winding community table, wine is included with your lunch or dinner and the food is amazing. Mostly a locals place even though it is located in the heart of downtown.

I just went to this place for the first time in June 2021 and WOW! You cannot make reservations, but you can put your name down and head over to Mini Bar for some wine beforehand. The food at Chubby Fish is unreal-literally everything was amazing-especially the corn fritters!

You will need a reservation to go to Husk, but my favorite personally is heading right next door and going to “the bar at husk”. Moody vibes, best darn burger in town, in a super cool old Charleston house, and fun drinks.
