"Seafood stop Delaney Oyster House offers shrimp and grits at brunch on the weekends. This version offers blackened crustaceans over cheesy Jimmy Red corn grits." - Erin Perkins
"Located in a historic Charleston home, Delaney Oyster House is a handsome space for seafood dining. The menu offers crab claws, oysters, crab rice with sofrito, caviar service, a daily catch, and more. And if you miss Red Lobster, Delaney offers its own version of the cheddar bay biscuits in hush puppy form." - Erin Perkins
"Seafood spot Delaney Oyster House offers discounted drinks and snacks on Monday through Thursday, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Oysters are $2.50 and a martini will only set you back $10." - Erin Perkins
"High-end fish house Delaney has its supply of soft shell crabs and serves them with coleslaw and tartar sauce." - Erin Perkins
"What's great about Delaney is the editing—Charleston is a seafood center, so it would be easy to go big, but instead, the menu is sleek. Divided in categories of oysters (obviously), cold, hot, small, and not small plates, the modern style of ordering things for the table is naturally encouraged. Ordering is easy, because everything from the cheddar bay hushpuppies to the local peel and eat shrimp to the crispy flounder is delicious. The drinks are all meant to pair with seafood, so the cocktails are bright with plenty of citrus and bubbles, the wines may have notes of limestone or green strawberry (perfectly paired with a crudo), there's mini bottle vodka service for the caviar, and also beer and zero proof cocktails, too." - Stephanie Burt
