82 Queen St

Our family stopped at 82 Queen for our final meal on our family vacation. We had the wonderful opportunity to sit out in the courtyard under beautiful tree cover and experience one of the best patios in Charleston. This is my second time dining at 82 Queen and it was so good the first time that we decided to bring the family here on our next vacation. The service was splendid each time we came here. Try taking a walk through the restaurant to enjoy the rich history and decor of the buildings. We happen to order the flounder BLT each time we were down here and it is very delicious. There is quite a bit of food so be prepared and be hungry. I ordered the barbecue shrimp and grits. It was good however, I am not a huge fan of the barbecue on the shrimp compared to other shrimp and grits meals. Our family ordered the southern Pickens appetizer. It was underwhelming, as it was about half pickled veggies. The deviled eggs were probably the favorite and the kids did not even eat the pita chips. I would not order this again, but would try something different like the fried green tomatoes. Overall, this restaurant is a big hit. I recommend it to anybody coming to Charleston to dine here and try to sit outside.

Went here for brunch. Crab cakes - yasssss omg do good! Chicken livers - I didn't try but I heard it was good. Backyard is super cute. Make a reservation.

THIS IS THE BEST BRUNCH IN CHARLESTON! Okay, I may only be a frequent traveler to Charleston and not a resident, but I found out about 82 Queen from a local. A recommendation I'm so thankful for lol. Right off King Street, sits this large dining spot. My friends and I had a brunch reservation during the busy graduation/Mother's Day weekend. We were seated right away on the second floor of the building (wby way of a tour through the stunning outdoor seating area). Our server, Miles, was passionate and very knowledgeable of the menu. We took up his suggestion of ordering the Fried Green Tomatoes as an app. 1000% recommend. For my entree, I thoroughly enjoyed the Crab Cake Benedict.

It was good. The ambiance was the highest point of our visit . Plus , the service was very good. Our waiter was attentive, kind, and nice. The food was solid good. However, it wasn't outstanding as we would expect for such a reputable place and high prices. It was good to visit for the experience. We ended up with the bill of $270 for the appetizer, a cup of soup , salad , cocktails, and two main dishes , plus kids meal for 2 adults and a kid. Since this restaurant is highly recommended by locals , I would give it a shot to make your own opinion about it.

Do I recommend this business? Absolutely!!! Between the jambalaya, gumbo, and crabcakes, I could not have asked for a more delectable dinner. This business does not deserve 4.1 on Yelp. This is definitely a 5.0+! We also ordered a bottle of Altos, 2022 Malbec from Argentina. I highly recommend the wine. Our waiter, Les, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I hope we get him again when we come back. Ambiance: Very Charleston feel. A little hot in the summer evening eating in the open, but with the fans it was pleasant. I can see why the restaurant has been here for 23 years. Normally, you finish the meal before commenting. I actually called the manager over to tell him how great it was before I finish the meal.

The menu, atmosphere, and service here are impeccable. First visited during my honeymoon in Charleston in 1995. Visited again in 2024 with my son. It was surprisingly every bit as good as I remember. The menu is representative of classic low country fare but with careful attention to fresh local ingredients. The service is first class. Do not miss their signature she-crab soup.

I like this family owned restaurant quite a bit. It's split into two parts. A very nice bar area and a typical restaurant seating area. We sat at the bar because we just wanted to have a quick drink and snack. Service was friendly but a tad slow on acknowledging our arrival. I love the ambience of the space. Dark with the feel of a neighborhood bar but in an upper middle class neighborhood for a few decades ago. Well maintained. Liquor options were rather boring . Pedestrian. However, they did make a very good cocktail. I had a crabcake appetizer, which was very good but not exceptional.

This was a great, last minute decision! We were searching for lunch. The line at Poogan's porch was so long and this restaurant had okay reviews so we decided to try it! We are so glad we did! The host stand is down an alley so it's a little hard to find but so worth it. We sat upstairs and based on server recommendations and limited availability of the soft shell crab we spilt a soft shell carb sandwich and had the tomato pie. Both were very good, fresh piping hot and not in need of any additional seasonings! We didn't sample as many things as usual because we had dinner reservations for "earlier " in the evening but we will be back for sure to try more on their menu. This is a charming house converted to a restaurant. It's lovely and I'm sure dinner here is also a pretty sight to see. The weather was rainy so we couldn't but I think a meal out on the patio would be charming.

I first started eating here in 1982 when I was 10 years old and it was a family favorite every year through '85. So, as an adult, every time I visited Charleston, 82 Queen was on the itinerary. Last night's visit brought back some great memories but also a little heartbreak. The ambiance looked the same when we arrived and our server, Sarah, was everything a server should be. Unfortunately, the food was far from the good old days. We opted to try numerous selections on the appetizer menu to get a taste of many things. The she crab soup which is a favorite of mine in Charleston was awful. This soup was so thick it resembled cold gravy. Further, the crab meat was sparse and mere flecks, almost like it was from a can. Next came the fried green tomatoes with some grits, pimento cheese and a bacon jam. Everything on the plate was delicious, except, the tomatoes. If I were told these came frozen in a bag, I wouldn't be shocked. The breading was thick and chewy and no flavor from the tomato. Another thing, the plating on all dishes was abysmal. No care was taken. It was like the food was plopped on and then some chives sprinkled on. The Southern tomato pie was a surprise for me. I did not expect much but my wife wanted it and I was glad she did. A delicious mix of cheese, crust and tomato that all came together very well. I am not convinced that the cheese described on the menu wasn't substituted with pimento cheese, but it worked. The final round was the crab cake, the bbq shrimp and grits, the fried chicken livers and the collard greens. The bbq shrimp was missing the bbq and had melted cheese on the shrimp. I was shocked. That just didn't work. It was sloppy and I would be embarrassed to serve this dish. The crab cake, again, the crab looked and tasted like canned meat and a lot of breading. The chicken livers sounded so appealing but were ruined by a thick brown gravy that looked like it had sat out too long. The livers themselves were cooked nicely, they just got ruined by a sloppy gravy. Finally, the collard greens were very good. They had a delicious sweetness and saltiness. If anything, the salt was almost too much, but compared to everything things else, they were a highlight. So, one of my favorite fine dining memories over the past 40 years has fallen from grace. It felt like no one in the kitchen even cared for what they were playing. It showed in every aspect. I would guess they make soup/sauces in advance and use them all night. That isn't fine dining, but diner dining. The majority of the food probably doesn't warrant three stars, but the service and two dishes and maybe some sentimental memories pushed me for a third star. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place as I have in the past, nor will I likely return any time soon. I don't even believe tourists can keep it open at this level. So many better options in Charleston these days.

Happy we were able to snag an early dinner spot here, outside, with no reservations! This was our first chance during our trip to try some classic Charleston meals - we got the she crab soup, calamari, and fried tomato. My friend and I are both New Englanders, and love our clam chowder and calamari. We really enjoyed the flavors and creaminess of the she crab soup!! The calamari had a good texture. I loved everything about the fried green tomato - the jam and pimento added vibrant flavors, and the grits were delicious. Definitely understand why this restaurant is so often recommended :)

After researching popular and must-try foods for our anniversary trip to Charleston, 82 Queen came up as the restaurant with the best of Charleston for She-Crab Soup. To-go order: she-crab soup I had no idea what she crab is but figured it was made with female crab meat, but furthermore it has roe in it as only females can have eggs. I love seafood so figured it made sense to try this renowned soup. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but the soup didn't meet any expectation. The wine that was added to the soup was really over powering. The portion of soup that was prepared for my to-go order had little crab meat and I didn't see or taste any roe. The soup was mostly heavy cream and onions. Side note: All my to-go orders have been bagged with proper plastic ware, except this one. The server handed me one of those plastic containers you see at a fast food Chinese joints with no bag and no spoon to eat the soup. He was nice enough to get me a spoon when I asked though.

Beautiful and delicious. It's known for the she crab but all the seafood is worth a try. It's centrally located in downtown but feels like you are inside an old home with a garden. Enjoy the experience but be prepared for the humidity if you opt to sit outside.

I have mixed reviews for 82 Queen, and I'll be honest across the board because out of all the places we ate, this was the least special. First thing, Charleston is really crazy specific about their reservations. All restaurants follow the rez's to a T and wiggle room is like non exsistant. We were able to get our table inside and were seated when we got there after the host girls needed to have a meeting to see if they could do it. The food...not great, except for the Flounder and Grits, which were alright. But I highly recommend to share cause the portions are huge. The southern pickens food was not great, the Pimento Cheese didn't taste right, even the waiter said it looked off when he served it, so not a good sign. If this place is booked up and you were hoping for a rez, don't worry, you're not missing anything.

Great food and service. Also the restaurant is not super tiny like a lot of Charleston spots. I was able to bring my stroller in so that was a win and sign that things were off to a good start! As for the food,I ordered the bbq shrimp and grits since that dish was invented in Charleston (per our waiter). It was really good and I was relieved that they didn't leave the tails on the shrimp which made eating it a lot easier and cleaner. I wasn't sure if I'd like the bbq sauce but it was just the right amount and not overpowering. The baked cheese on top really made the dish and tied it all together. The she crab soup was good but nothing life changing would probably try another appetizer if / when in the area again. The pecan pie was amazing and worth every calorie. Highly recommend! I will def visit 82 Queen next time I'm in Charleston. Also, our waiter was very friendly and gave great recommendations!

We reserved a table on Sunday for 2 in the courtyard for brunch. We ordered the chicken livers, the she crab soup, and the softshell crab special to share. The soup was a rich and creamy delight. No wonder it is what they are known for. The base was velvety smooth, with a pronounced crab flavor that was both comforting and indulgent. The addition of sherry gave it a subtle depth of flavor and the generous amount of lump crab meat added a nice contrast in texture. Our favorite dish was the fried chicken livers. They were cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. It's not often we see livers on a menu and even more rare when they are done right. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking to try something new, these dishes are definitely worth a taste!

Not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said about this esteemed restaurant. The food is always phenomenal and it's in a lovely part of the French quarter. We sat in their lovely courtyard on a sunny Sunday for brunch, our waiter was exemplary and personable, the drinks were on point and every bite was amazing. The softie was fantastic but the fried chicken livers and grits blew me away, I still think about them. There's a reason why they are award winning and it's well deserved.

I almost always come here for brunch. I don't know why, it just seems to turn out that way. But it's always so delicious. Usually there's a special that is amazing featured for brunch. Anyway, the food is consistently very good. Most recently I got the fish and girts. I tell you what, I haven't had fried fish that good in about a decade if not more. Completely spot on crispy, flaky crust with moist tender founder inside. Perfection! The she-crab soup is known well beyond the walls of the restaurant. Always delicious, so thick you could eat it off a knife. Never disappoints, full of flavor and oomph. It is heavy so a cup is probably enough. The staff is always super kind and attentive and the interior is very pleasing, never noisy. Highly recommend!

Great brunch at 82 Queen! The only issue I had were the reservations. I looked on Resy and tried to make a reservation however it stated that "reservations were treated as first come first serve" so I thought then what's the point of the reservation! So we went early at opening time. Already a huge line amassed! I got up and wanted a table in the garden, however it would be a 45 min wait! But that the bar area had no wait. I told them that I wanted to make a reservation but it would still be first come first serve, however that was actually NOT the case! Very annoyed by this! Definitely make a reservation. Otherwise the food was delicious! Ordered the crab cake Benedict and the flounder and grits. Both were SO good. Highly recommend. If the reservations were not such a mess this would definitely be my go to!

For a real "taste of Charleston" experience and an "historic kick" I suggest dining at 82 Queen. Take a minute to notice the artwork on the walls throughout the rooms~ done by the late Charlestonian John Doyle. His Gullah -African tradition themed art tells stories in each piece and adds an interesting touch to the property. Since 1982 ~ 82 Queen has been a favorite of locals and tourists~ their signature soup being the "She-Crab Soup." One of the first things your server will mention is the fact that 82 Queen is known for this soup and is one of the best in the city! Take note- comes with a side of sherry! Jason our server was friendly and efficient and made sure our experience was perfect. Loved his attention to detail when refilling the coffee and making sure our "to go" order included fresh dressings as well! Consisting of three historic buildings you will immediately feel the history and appreciate the coziness of each of the rooms once inside. Classic Lowcountry cuisine will be found here inspired by African, French, Caribbean and Anglo- Saxon tastes. I was in the mood for a nice chicken salad and had the kitchen put a scoop on top of the Queen's Salad. The salad portion was way too much so one half was eaten there and the other half was my dinner that same night! Portions are large so beware!

Went here for lunch. Staff was incredible. Our waitress Kya was so great. Ambiance was really nice and food was amazing! The tomato pie & limoncello mascarpone cake were top tier!

We tried several places with long wait times before walking into 82 Queen and getting a table right away. Food and service were great and would highly recommend for wkend brunch.

Very cute spot! Went for brunch, had a couple super tasty cocktails and the fish and grits as my main. I really liked the red pepper aioli that came with that.

She crab soup & a beautiful garden - need I say more? This is our must stop in Charleston since 2015. We always get the she crab soup and it never disappoints!

We visited 82 Queen to celebrate our 20 year Wedding Anniversary and they did not disappoint. Before I get into the meat and taters, this place is busy. Get reservations well in advance. You were warned. When booking my reservation, I mentioned it was our anniversary. To my surprise, they knew and welcomed us. They also wrote us a hand written note thanking us for choosing their restaurant. It was a nice touch. To start off, we got a muddled creek and a berry mojito. The mojito is self explanatory but the muddled creek was a blend of an old fashioned and a bourbon mule. And they pour heavy. It was fantastic. Good thing we walked because no way I was driving! For appetizers we got the she crab soup and fried green tomatoes. The soup was fine, but I'm not sure what the fuss is about she crab soup in Charleston. The fried green tomatoes were the best we have had. The grits were creamy but not runny, the pimento cheese on top was a nice addition and the sauce was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend. For entrees we got the crab cakes and the beef short ribs. Starting with the crab cakes, they were very crab heavy and not full of breading. Perfectly crisped on top and bottom to add that crunch. The sauce they came with it was a great pairing. I didn't much like the rice. Just a little on the crunchy side for me, but it was seasoned well. The succotash was also seasoned well. Oh that beef short rib. I would do some shady shit in an alley way to have that. We used a fork and just peeled it off the potatoes. It was so tender. Really well seasoned. The potatoes were smooth and creamy but still stood up to the flavor of the beef. They offered us a free dessert for our anniversary and we chose the bourbon pecan pie. It was fine. Nothing bad or great to say about it other than I couldn't really taste the bourbon, but I had plenty in my drink! Will definitely be back when visiting Charleston.

I remember the first time I came here was for my sister's birthday brunch years ago. I remember having the creamiest grits I've ever had. I was thrilled to relocate to the area and have been back several times. The food is fantastic. They have several areas to dine in which are decorated differently. I've had one rude waiter once during a special celebration. I think sometimes they overbook which can cause you to feel rushed if you are looking to converse with friends.

This was our favorite dining experience during our Charleston visit! I had my heart set on sitting in the courtyard, which has ALL the vibes. You can't make a reservation for the courtyard specifically online, but you can request to sit in the courtyard when you arrive. The hostess also said you can put in a note requesting courtyard seating, but it's not guaranteed. The 82 Queen courtyard might be my new happy place. We loved their courtyard because of the twinkle lights, the greenery, the music (think Moon River, Dream a Little Dream of Me, etc), the smart layout of tables where they all felt relatively private, and the heat lamps. We ate at a few different patios in Charleston, and 82 Queen was the only one with heat lamps set up. Granted it was only mid October, so maybe the other patios will set them up later. For apps, we had the she crab soup, which was delicious. Our waitress, Mara, was very extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She knew I was pregnant, so brought out the sherry (for the soup) separately. She also brought me an extra bowl so I could reserve a portion of the soup without the sherry topping. We also had the Carolina Crab Cakes entree and the Braised Short Ribs. Mara said the crab cakes have been on the menu since the restaurant opened, and the short ribs and fish and grits are her favorite things on the menu. Everything was cooked perfectly, but we were a little surprised that the green beans (part of the short rib entree) were not trimmed. Not a big deal though, everything was still delicious!

So delicious and delightful. We showed up with a group of 6 without reservations and they accommodated us at the bar. The server was just lovely. The food was amazing. They had not only shrimp and grits on the menu, but also offered fish and grits. I was sold.

We reserve a spot here on Saturday for 1030 about a week ago because I wanted to go here for my birthday for Brunch. This is my first time trying this place. The aesthetics of this restaurant are beautiful. There's so much history and southern charm to this place. It's so pretty inside. There was a birthday card on my table which made me feel special. The food was ok. Me and my husband had a cup of the She Crab soup and it was kind of hard to eat because we could taste the sherry wine in it. I think it's supposed to be reduced. My husband had the fish and grits. The fish needed a little seasoning but the grits were good. I had the Crab cakes Benedict and it was delicious and the right amount. Overall it was ok. I feel like this place is definitely meant for the tourist and not for the locals. But I wanted to be a tourist today. lol

Everything from appetizers, cocktails and main dishes were very good. Our server was excellent and very helpful with the menus. Our big disappointment was the ambiance. We were seated in the upstairs dining room. No music, just the hum of the air conditioning and the cries of the babies in the room. We asked if the music could be turned up (there was a speaker above our table) but told that the volume was set for the outside seating and they couldn't do anything. As we walked through the outdoor seating it appeared much better. Music and a nice romantic atmosphere.

My first meal ever in Charleston... what a great start! Sat at the bar, greeted for brunch with a menu that didn't seem to have any eggs... But started with my coffee and Baileys. but DOH! no Baileys! Instead they had their local Irish cream...Carolina Cream! And it was something fun and similar. I ordered the tomato pie, it came out like a tart. Or a small quiche with a side salad... I had to order a couple of fried eggs on the side so it would really feel like brunch! The service at the bar was very friendly and the food was fantastic!

Good food: she-crab soup, crab cakes, bbq shrimp n grits, bread pudding. Meh food: fried green tomatoes, southern pickins, jambalaya, gumbo Laid back fine dining, an oxymoron or reality? 82 queen is it. Service is easygoing. You can take your time here and not feel rushed. The ambience is "old house-turned-restaurant that isn't trying too hard in decor. New restaurants in other states try for this in new builds! We'd return.

Made a lunch reservation here yesterday for a relatively big group of 7. While we had the option to sit on the patio which looked beautiful, we chose indoors because of the heat. We ordered the fried green tomatoes because our server recommended - good choice! All of us ordered something different and were very happy with their orders -- the blackened chicken salad, fried oyster salad, southern fried chicken and crème brûlée French toast. I got the shrimp and grits - at first I was nervous the bourbon bbq sauce would be overpowering/sweet but it wasn't. The service was also good - when my friend ordered the glass of Rose on the specials, she immediately steered her to another one saying others did not like the one.

We had a fantastic night out at 82 Queen and would totally return when we come back to Charleston! The ambiance in the restaurant is perfect for a date night out or a nicer dinner with a smaller party. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids. There is a parking garage right across the street that charged $2 an hour which was really reasonable. The area is really cute. The restaurant looks tiny on the outside but is MASSIVE. We sat in one building that had 2 floors of dining space, but they also have a really gorgeous outdoor courtyard, a greenhouse for seating and a second building with another dining room. The layout is really interesting. The decor inside is classy and feels like an old mansion. We had a gorgeous table next to a huge window overlooking the courtyard. Very nice. The service was excellent, I forget her name but she was really helpful and patient with us while we explored the menu. There is a ton of options and the fare is southern/seafood. Our waitress said the She Crab Soup from the appetizers is what this place is known for, and also recommended the Southern Tomato Pie appetizer. From the entrees, the Barbecue Shrimp and Grits, the Jambalaya (Paella style, not stew style) and the Crabcakes. My boyfriend ordered a beer and it was just okay. We had the Fried green tomatoes on grits, the she crab soup and the tomato pie for starters. The friend green tomatoes were cut pretty thin and cooked well, the tomato jam on the side added a nice flavor. The grits were good, but we are from VA and very familiar with southern grits and these were good but not the best I've had. The she crab soup was great, nice sweeter flavor profile with a dash of sherry on top. Very good, similar to a lobster bisque just a bit sweeter. The tomato pie was excellent. It had a much richer flavor profile than we were expecting and it was baked to perfection. Since we wanted to try as much as possible we loaded with the appetizers which were all really heavy so we decided to split the crab cake entree for dinner. It was beautifully presented, two generous sized crabcakes with Carolina dirty rice and succotash. The style here is clean no frills, so these felt very fresh and good quality but perhaps a little on the safe side. The crabcakes have a very high percentage of crab content I just wish they did a little more with the seasoning. Overall though, they were delicious, very well made. For dessert we had the bourbon pecan pie. The filling was good but felt very standard and the crust didn't look handmade. Regular vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Good, but nothing fancy. I would probably come back, the food is southern food so expect it to lean on the heavy side. In general the menu doesn't attempt to take many risks or experiment, so if you're into classic no frills southern seafood fare this place is for you. Expect to spend anywhere from $35/50 for an entree, and the apps run about $15 each. To recap, we had the 1) beer 2) tomato pie 3) fried green tomatoes 4) cup of soup, 5) crabcakes entree, and 6) slice of pie and our total came to about $130 everything included. This is a nicer restaurant so it is perfect for a date night, anniversary, etc. Good food and the ambiance is incredible. Would recommend.

We came here for a light birthday dinner with our kids (8 & 15) and had the most wonderful experience! We didn't have reservations and the hostess was still able to accommodate us in the bar area which was a very please atmosphere. We ordered the She-Crab soup and a Ceaser salad and both were so delicious! They let me pick out a dessert for my birthday and I got the bread pudding which was absolutely heavenly. The highlight was our waitress Molly though. She was so sweet, attentive, and helpful. By far the BEST service we received in this town. Thank you Molly!

Dinner with Lesley and two other couples. Service was fantastic and the meal was excellent. Everything was cooked perfectly and served timely. Great atmosphere and very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch in the courtyard. Fabulous she crab soup, shrimp and grits and jambalaya. Totally worth the splurge, especially for a special occasion. Reservations a must.

I went to 82 Queen with my parents on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon for lunch. It was a wonderful day! The service was great, but I was a little frustrated upon arrival when they would not sit us outside. I had made a reservation, but I did not realize that I made it for inside the restaurant. My mother is hard of hearing, and so sitting inside an echoey old building, made it difficult to hear each other. I wish they would have been a little more accommodating. Now onto the most important part, the food! We got a pork sandwich, jambalaya, and the barbecue shrimp and grits. It was all delicious. However, I will say that I will go back for the shrimp and grits over and over again. They are absolutely fantastic. There is a wonderful depth of flavor in the sauce and the shrimp is perfectly cooked and plentiful. It is a fabulous restaurant that is deserving of it's excellent reputation.

82 Queen was lovely but the absolute best part was the courtyard. The unique position inbetween buildings is unlike anywhere I've ever been. It's cozy yet historic. The food was also very good - I love the pork chop dish. We came when we had family in town. Price wise we probably wouldn't come back on a normal weekend but definitely a must visit if you're visiting Charleston!

Food was good and service were great. It was a bit pricey for lunch. Lunch was $90 total with two drinks and food shown but again all was good!

Simply a wow. What a cool layout and ambiance. Looks like 2 buildings with a cool patio area. Bar has a cool vibe. Lucked out with great seating for 2 looking out over the patio area. Service was top notch. Perfect timing on service. Sarah was first class in service and a deep knowledge of the menu. She crab soup is a must. Shrimp and grits was best we ever had. Jambalaya was generous, should of had the Caesar salad! Even desserts were top notch When in Charleston, do yourself a favor and book a reservation, promise it's worth every bit

Had such a great time @ brunch! Got there early and sat at the bar as one does. Met Scotty and Trista! Such a wonderful Dream Team! So personable and lots of wonderful personality!! Ask Scotty for the "Red Duck"! It's an insider tip.

A Charleston classic for a reason! Historic building and furniture with many unique rooms as well as a courtyard. Southern staples done really well include fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, chicken and biscuits, and a delicious rich version of she crab soup. Service was unhurried but efficient and friendly. The Violet Vespa and Bloody Mary were also spot on. If you want a casually elegant lunch or to show off our treasure two out of town guests- you won't go wrong here.

Exquisite is all I need to say. Dined on a cold rainy night (inside yes they have inside seating) and the Tomato Pie was wonderful. I had the Beef Short Ribs, my wife the pork chop. We ate our fill and needed take home boxes because the servings were enormous! Our server Diego took excellent care of us. Luckily we are staying at the Mills House Hotel and only had 1/2 block walk home Highly recommended!

While we found the ambiance and service to be satisfactory, we were quite disappointed with the Crème Brûlée French Toast. It did not meet our expectations, resembling more of a thick, soggy slice of bread that was served cold rather than the advertised dish. Given our special occasion, this was particularly disappointing. I believe it would be courteous to future diners if the description of this dish were updated to accurately reflect what is served

Best service we've had during our stay in Charleston! Myles was incredibly polite, informative and speedy during our gals brunch on Saturday morning. We will definitely be back anytime we come through Charleston for another girls weekend in the future. The French toast and biscuits and gravy was to die for! Thank you so much Myles!

This is hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. If you are visiting Charleston, you HAVE to go here. Although it is on the pricer side, it is most definitely worth it for the experience and price. Make sure to make a reservation beforehand or else you most likely will not be getting a table or will have to eat a very late dinner. The portions are on the larger side so I would recommend ordering multiple starters/entrees to share so that you can try a little bit of everything and not waste any food. I came with a group of four people and we got 3 starters and 3 entrees to share which was just enough for all of us. For starters we got the She Crab Soup, Shrimp and Grits and Crab Cakes. They were all great and I would order them again if I were to return, except the She Crap Soup is not my favorite so wouldn't recommend. For the entrees, we tried their Jambalaya, Gumbo and grilled Ribeye. All of them were amazing, but my favorite had to be the jambalaya. The gumbo was on the saltier side and the Ribeye was tasty, but nothing special which is why if I had to choose one thing that you have to get, it is their Jambalaya. My meal here was very memorable and I will definitely be back if I am ever vacationing in Charleston again!

We have lived in Charleston for more than twenty years and have been to 82 Queen several times. I have to say it has been consistently top notch! We have never had a bad meal, the service has always been professional and the ambience in the court yard is breathtaking! It is my go to place for any celebration. If you visit Charleston, or if you live here but have not been to 82 Queen, it is a must try.

The service, (Tony), was great. The food was tasty but, everything was cold!!! Very expensive to be served cold food.

Lovely outside garden area. This tomato pie is a must have! The southern Pickens i could've done without, not a whole lot of flavor or food for the cost. Also don't go in the summer unless you sit inside, it was farrrr too sweaty outside even with fans.

Had a quick stop in at the bar of 82 Queen. Enjoyed a cocktail- ordered the Muddled Creek, and a bowl of shecrab soup! Both were very good! Friendly and attentive bartender! Bar was clean and cozy.
