"Family-run and open since 1985, Hannibal’s Kitchen has been feeding generations of Charlestonians long before the rest of the world discovered the city’s magic; it's renowned for crab rice made with local blue crab, okra soup, fried chicken, and collard greens, and the best part is the genuinely welcoming atmosphere." - Jai Jones
"Housed in a small orange building on Blake Street, this hole-in-the-wall serves soul food many locals consider among Charleston’s best: the crab-and-shrimp rice is the celebrated staple, and fried chicken, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and other Southern classics round out a must-stop for authentic soul cooking." - Stephanie Burt
"A spot to experience traditional Gullah Geechee dishes, offering flavors rooted in the region’s African-American coastal heritage." - Erin Perkins

"While the food scene in Charleston has evolved a lot over the past decade, soul food remains vital. Many places have come and gone, but Hannibal’s Kitchen has continued to be a Charleston staple since its opening in 1985. This Black- and family-owned establishment serves soul food classics like fried chicken and standout seafood dishes like their excellent crab rice. The walls inside are lined with photos of the Huger family that started the restaurant and still own it to this day." - jai jones, emily yates
