Slightly North of Broad Restaurant

We dined here for our anniversary and it was wonderful! I loved that they noticed I mentioned it was our anniversary when we checked in for our reservation. They also treated us to champagne! Such a special treat of kindness. Staff is amazing! We had Jordan and she was amazing. She was helpful and very knowledgeable with gluten free options. The food was delicious. Shrimp and grits was the best I have had in a long time. Overall experience was wonderful, we will be dining here again. Thank you all for a very nice dinner!

Our food was great, loved the combination of flavors. The service was very slow and had to point out different things to the waiter, felt like we had to chase her down just to get more water. We got there when it was the end of the lunch rush so we thought we could eat and go since they were preparing the restaurant for dinner. It seemed like everyone was more focused on getting the napkins folded right, changing table cloths, etc. than getting the few people left taken care of and out of there. Wished they had changed their menu more or more options but the 3 days we were there it was the same and even for brunch. Definitively good tasting food and gin but desired more.

I had my heart set on dining at Slightly North of Broad (SNOB) long before I even landed in Charleston, South Carolina, and it did not disappoint. The name alone caught my attention, with its clever acronym, but it was the menu, particularly the roasted duck breast, that truly made this restaurant a must-visit for me. I traveled all the way from Folsom, California, and the duck was absolutely worth the journey across the country—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was just beautiful, providing a warm and welcoming dining experience. The service was equally outstanding, with staff who were not only attentive but also very accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Being allergic to gluten, corn, and tomatoes can make dining out challenging, but SNOB handled it with ease. While they didn’t have a specific gluten-free roll, they kindly offered a gluten-free bun, toasted to perfection, which completed my meal in the best way possible. Even without the gluten-free bread accommodations, I would have been thrilled with my meal. The roasted duck alone made the trip worthwhile, but the exceptional service and atmosphere elevated the entire experience. I highly recommend SNOB for anyone visiting Charleston—it’s an unforgettable dining experience that you simply can’t go wrong with.

Came here with a couple ladies for lunch. I was able to snag a parking spot on the street quickly since there is no lot, but there is a garage nearby. Pretty busy place around 12pm on a Tuesday. This is part of the “Halls” collection so it was also my first experience as well. It was casual to business casual as far as how people were dressed but the staff were in all black and gave that fine dining service feel. Peter was our server, very nice, friendly guy and attentive during service. We started with the clams, buttery, lemony and came with some bread - very tasty. I had the swordfish with risotto as my meal. Good portion, I liked the pickled carrots that came with it the most. My friends had the Milanese chicken with salad which had some pieces of watermelon that looked juicy. Overall it was a good experience, I wasn’t blown away by anything in particular but I enjoyed what I had.

We were in town for a long weekend and this was by far our favorite experience. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. They are very accommodating as well as knowledgeable about food allergies. There were plenty of options for our friend who has a peanut and tree nut allergy. Our large party really enjoyed the halibut, lamb, and pork chop. Would definitely recommend!

1st time. Excellent service, great open kitchen atmosphere, fantastic food. We had Sangria to begin and dined on Carolina BBQ Shrimp and a Salad for starters. Then Scallops and Duck Breast for entrees. All was delicious.

Updated 10/2/2024 Made a return visit today for lunch. Unfortunately, not quite as good as the first time. Chicken in Southern Medley was over cooked and dry. Shrimp & Grits, my favorite last time, Shrimp was over cooked as well and much less amount of those amazing grits. Veggies in the Southern Medley were once again yummy. ***************************************************************** Place was recommended by friends and did not disappoint. Had lunch and from start to finish, everything was perfect. Atmosphere, service and food. Had the shrimp & grits, best I've ever had !!! My wife had the Southern Medley and while she can be hard to please, she can't wait to go back and have it again. Emily was waitress "Extraordinaire". Thank you, thank you, thank you. We'll be back.

The shrimp & grits was amazing!! They also made a great dirty martini. We were there just before their dinner menu started at 5pm, so the menu was limited, but I was extremely pleased with the shrimp & grits I ordered. My husband who’s a vegetarian had just two small options to choose from but didn’t complain. A fun first meal in downtown Charleston!

First off, the service here is amazing. The bartender who was our server was incredibly personable, and offered to have all the food split for us. Our bartender recommended the Grass-fed Beef Carpaccio. We were hesitant at first, but this dish did not disappoint! Each bite was savory and flavorful - a must have. Baby lettuce salad (pictured as a half portion). A light and refreshing salad. Lavender Fields beverage was fantastic. This is a great date spot, spacious.

There are so many things that were outstanding at this restaurant, I don't know where to start so i'll start with our server Greg who made excellent wine recommendations and brought us some extra bread for the shrimp dish (11/10, delectable) without us having to ask! The complimentary corn bread served with butter was so good, I didn't even remember to click a picture. Live music with a low lit ambience and bustling with patrons, this is a top notch place.

SNOB always delivers! Their service and food is consistently wonderful. We really enjoyed our entrees and cocktails. The pork chop with the yummy bleu cheese pudding wedge was cooked perfectly and so very tender and flavorful. The shrimp n grits was fantastic and not too sausage forward. The steamed broccoli florets with parmesan cheese was good. It's sort of dark in the restaurant but the big cool looking globe lights scattered throughout really help. We loved the wrought iron wall art too. Our waitress was fantastic. Warm and helpful with drink selections and menu options.

Small bar that seats 10. Bartender was very friendly and served us promptly. Met friendly locals also. We just had light bite and drinks. Will return when we are back in the area.

This place was absolutely delicious. And our server was lovely. I got the pork chop. They recommend it comes out medium and that's the right choice. It's extremely tender and super well seasoned and sauced with the garnish. I loved the extremely balsamic soaked onion. I've never tasted anything like that. The shrimp and grits was also really good. Really tasty. Great pieces of firm shrimp. Good lighting. Live guitarist. Came out to about $100 for two.

This restaurant is a gem! We didn't have reservations at the time and we were a party of 6! They were able to accommodate us within 15 at an excellent table. We ordered our cocktails and they probably had the best expresso martini I've ever had, and that says a lot because I know expresso martinis! Lol. Needless to say we all tried different items on their menu and everything was absolutely delicious! Not a bad plate in the bunch. The restaurant has a very elegant yet cozy ambiance. If I'm ever in Charleston again, this is the first place I will go!

Popular spot located just a few blocks from the water front. Dining area is small so be sure to plan ahead and make a reservation. While the restaurant was busy I appreciated that our waiter did not make us feel rushed but rather gave us the time to enjoy a leisurely lunch. Primarily American-style food with a wide array of small plates, salads, and entrees. This visit we ordered the carpaccio and flounder special. The food was well cooked and seasoned. Friendly staff. Would return

Samantha was so wonderful and sweet yesterday evening as our server! She made our first experience dining here so lovely and enjoyable. The food, wine and cocktails were to die for!

Great bar and dining room atmosphere. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. The grilled salmon over salad was just the perfect light meal from the brunch menu. Salmon was perfectly moist and seasoned, and arugula was tossed in a lemon vinaigrette with pine nuts, couscous, feta, golden raisins and currants. It was served with warm corn bread. Relaxed over a bottle of wine , no rushing. Great spot.

Espresso Martini with Jason! Just do it! They use real espresso and next level service. We love the high Charleston vibes here! It's a do not miss when in the French Quarter!

This place is worth the hype! We're here to celebrate our anniversary and we had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Everything we ordered was good. I would go for the pan-roasted flounder again if they make it a regular menu. The flavor-wise, most dishes were leaning towards sweeter side (maybe because it's a fall/October menu). Service was great. Danielle made sure our special night special. 10/10 for Danielle! The place is popular so be prepared to wait a bit. The vibe of the place is not too formal. There were a number of people who dressed up and those who were on causal side. I feel like this is a good place to mingle, get together, or have a date night. It's casual enough to feel relaxing and it's "fancy" enough for special occasion.

While Jeanne and Billy Hall greeting us at Halls Chophouse, we had a different experience at Slightly North of Broad (S.N.O.B) Walking into SNOB on a Tuesday night, the restaurant is packed. I mean, even the large table for 15? Packed! Reservation are highly recommended. Here's where everything went slightly askew. The restaurant is commanding the same prices as Halls Chophouse. If the restaurant is charging the same prices, I expect to see the same quality of food coming out of the kitchen. I ordered the Carolina BBQ Shrimp starter. I took a bite and noticed the shrimp wasn't cleaned? I looked at all the shrimp and none of them were cleaned?? C'Mon now... I called the waiter over, he was nonchalant about it and said can I bring another dish or something else? Honestly, I'm turned off at this point. My main entree was the Pan Seared New Bedford Scallops on a bed of Carolina rice. Everything tasted great but $44 bucks for three sea scallops? I do declare, the prices for sea scallop are reasonable, perhaps I can offer you the bay scallops? Yeah.. .Get to steppin' SNOBBY! I'm out. I'm on vacation and there are too many other spots in Charleston to try. I'll never return

4/10/24: We had an 8:30 PM reservation at S.N.O.B. However, they didn't take us until 9:00 PM. : ( . We started out with delicious corn bread. Entrees consisted of Shrimp and Grits, Grilled Chicken and Halibut. Dessert consisted of one slice of Amazing Banana Cream Pie and 6 spoons. The food was very good. The restaurant has a nice upscale decor. The one thing I didn't care for was the restroom location. There's a small surrounding partition to wait inside to enter the single restroom. However, you can look out and see the dining tables just "a little too close". Service was mostly good. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Regarding parking, we took an Uber for the evening. Street parking can be difficult in this area.

Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. I ordered an espresso martini and it unfortunately didn't taste as good as it looked.

We have been traveling for 2 weeks in the South, and S.N.O.B. ended up to be my favorite restaurant. Everything was perfect at the restaurant: the service , the ambiance, the decor , the white linens on the tables , and of course food. I can confirm that they have the best shrimp and grits I have tried. We had a lot of food and drinks , and the bill was very affordable compared to other fancy restaurants we tried in Charleston . I highly recommend this restaurant. We stopped by for lunch , and it was a full house on Wednesday afternoon. So , the reservation is highly recommended. This is the restaurant to remember ! And come back once we travel south again.

This was an enjoyable spot to stop in for a quick Sunday brunch appetizer, as we walked through Charleston. My wife and I share the steam clams and baby lettuce salad and a couple of soft drinks, and it was just enough to get us started as we walked over to the pineapple fountain and Pier area. The clams were well prepared and came in a broth - our server Christina brought us plenty of bread to dip in the wonderful broth. She was an excellent server, and we truly enjoyed the restaurant. This is a place where we would certainly return for dinner or a full Sunday brunch.

Loved our brunch here in Charleston! The drink menu was festive and the drinks were executed beautifully. Santa greeted us upon arrival and the decor was lovely. We enjoyed sharing the whipped ricotta with hot honey, shrimp & grits, and the eggs Benedict. Overall there are no complaints and we hope to return again soon!

S.N.O.B. for short! But nothing snobby about this place as the staff was friendly and accommodating for our party of 16 set up right in front of the open kitchen. They had some interesting appetizers with a charcuterie board with different than normal items (pate salami anyone) and beef carpaccio that was swimming in capers, which is a good thing. They're probably more shareable for a smaller table, but I sat in the middle (smart, right?). For dinner, I had Shrimp and Grits, which was a great choice. You can't go to Charleston without getting it (unless you're allergic, of course) and I'm glad I did. There were plenty of shrimp over a pile of delicious grits which was swimming in a flavorful, slightly spicy sauce. I'd probably order this again if I dined here. Then it was dessert time. I ordered some chocolate thing as I was in the mood for that after having Lemon and Banana the previous 2 nights and it hit the spot. But the star was the sour cream apple pie! This pie was swimming in a delicious sweet sour cream filling that made it one of the best apple pies I ever had. I'd order that next time too! And I'll stop with the swimming references. Drinks were good but I switched to wine to go with my meal. One of the people was a wine S.N.O.B and she picked out a good Pinot Noir. I'd describe it as red! TLDR: Shrimp and Grits and Sour Cream Apple Pie.

Amazing! So yummy we practically had everything on the menu. I have zero complaints. Food was outstanding. Fav was the butternut squash soup . Celiac safe!

Went here with my husband and another couple for Sunday brunch. Place was packed at noon so I'm glad we had reservations and I also suggest them. I had the butternut squash bisque and baby lettuce salad. Both tasty. Husband had the ricotta & honey and she crab soup. He was very happy. My friend had the shrimp and grits and she was blown away. She said it was slightly spicy (which the waitress told her about when she ordered it) and she was raving abut it. She it was the best she ever had. Drinks we had and I suggest: barn raiser, midnight melody, classic daiquiri. Nice atmosphere. Bar seating as well as regular tables and half booth/ chair seating. Good for special dinners, girls night out, meet for a drink

We had dinner here on a Friday night. Our server Brian was great, he treated us to champagne and dessert for our anniversary. I had the BBQ Tuna rare, my wife had the beef tenderloin. We had sides of broccoli and mashed potatoes. Everything was outstanding. Live music, nice atmosphere.

My co-workers and I had the best experience at Snob today. Our waitress, Lexi, was absolutely AMAZING and we truly have never experienced such great service at a restaurant. She was kind, genuine, so thoughtful, could read the room, and brought great, fun energy. We told her we were celebrating the end of a work meeting and she surprised the table with champagne (1 was not drinking and she paid so much attention to detail that she brought him a mocktail). She continued to bring the best food out and we were so thrilled with the whole lunch. Keep doing what you're doing! And thank you to Lexi and sweet Marsha for giving us tips on the menu!

I had higher expectations based upon all the reviews. It felt robotic and tired to me. More like a place cruise ship ppl go for lunch or dinner. The staff seemed disinterested like they don't expect to see you again. Also huge pet peeve, I arrived as a single woman, there were plenty of tables open, the hostess brought me to this awkward table in the back by the server workstation. Even the server had a weird look when they saw her trying to seat me there. I spoke up and was offered a better table but it didnt make me feel welcome or valued. There are many welcoming places in Charleston and would happily give them my business. The food was "fine" but not exceptional.

I love SNOB! Went a few days ago with my husband and some friends. It was great going and see the remodel of the restaurant looks amazing. Paulie was our server amazing! Food is intoxicating. It's so hard to be non bias because I used to work there but man I'll tell you what it was an amazing experience and job. The staff is amazing. This is one of my top favorite restaurants in Downtown.

Charleston, known for its food and myriad of foodie tourist traps, and here we have the very busy and very popular SNOB as it's known, and I was able to snag a seat at the bar being I was Solo, as I often am, and purposely so, for reasons such as this ! Being able to sit and eat and drink at the exact time I am hungry and want and need sustenance now ! Having my very first try at shrimp and grits - delicious !! Outstanding ! I cleaned my plate !! The portion was just right, tasty and filling without feeling overly stuffed. The menu was great and I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area !

Came here with a couple ladies for lunch. I was able to snag a parking spot on the street quickly since there is no lot, but there is a garage nearby. Pretty busy place around 12pm on a Tuesday. This is part of the "Halls" collection so it was also my first experience as well.

My friends had the Milanese chicken with salad which had some pieces of watermelon that looked juicy. Overall it was a good experience, I wasn't blown away by anything in particular but I enjoyed what I had.

This place was recommended by several locals. We skipped the shrimp and grits because we ate it everywhere but they are known for that. The beef carpaccio is some of the best I've ever had!, A Dejonase & Red Wine vinaigrette drizzled over the beef dusted with capers and Parmesan. The collard greens were soaked in vinegar and was a little too over powering taste. The chicken and waffles were as expected. Sunday brunch was busy so I recommend reservation. Service was prompt and courteous.

I popped in to this gem whilst be-bopping around in downtown Charleston and what a gem it is. We sadly did not eat, but we did have wine! Lol. They had a lovely wine list and a great ambience. I will be revisiting for sure! It's classy, dim lit, and a bit swanky. I dug this place. Our bartender was great.

Had an amazing shrimp and grits entree for brunch there a few weeks ago. Packed with shrimp, smoky ham, and house sausage, it was exactly what I was looking for. The interior of the dining room is spacious and well appointed. Service was top notch. As we were celebrating a birthday, not only did they bring out complimentary champagne as well as a dessert. A must stop for some of the best grits in town.

We had friends and family visiting us from NJ and upper SC and they wanted the quintessential southern high-end spot. My husband loves SNOB so we felt this was the best place to show them what they wanted. I have to say we chose well. We started with the carpaccio - a starter that has become one of our faves - but SNOB knocks it out of the park! At the table, we had Shrimp&Grits, Scallops, Wreckfish, & the Heritage Farm Pork Chop which, hands down, won the table over. Succulent, juicy, and cooked to perfection with amazing flavor! We also had several sides to share, but by far the Broccoli and Parm was the best. This was a joyful evening with good company and an amazing meal. Thank you, SNOB, for making this a special night for our special guests!

Good brunch, service was really good, went with a big group. All the food was very well prepared.

In the heart of Historic Downtown Charleston. Perfect example of fine culinary cuisine. After entering we were greeted at the hostess station and seated immediately. Service by Marsha was exceptional. Our orders were taken and we were then offered Birthday Champagne! More adult beverages arrived from their full service bar. We started our Birthdays with soup consisting of Butternut Bisque and Split Pea Soup. For the entrees we chose an In house Corned Beef Rueben, Shrimp and Grits and finally Steak Frites. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. We finished our wonderful Birthday celebration with Crème Brûlée. Perfect place for a celebration. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTEN GRANET On street parking when available or paid parking lot across the street.

The food was good. Ordered the carpaccio , the apple salad, and the clams. Very filling for light eaters. The shrimp and grits and pork chops also looked amazing. Our server was very nice, the downside was the snarky looks from the hostesses. They would say good night and turn around and roll their eyes before the next breath. So much for southern hospitality. We did not initially want our table due to the music proximity. The hostess started to give us another table then tore it up and said no that's it unless you want to wait 45 minutes. We did have a reservation. I guess we were the wrong kind of people for her? Felt this attitude going in and out.

We have two more days but this was declared a favorite of the trip already. Megan did a great job tonight helping us through dinner. She was friendly and helped keep things going while also giving us time to enjoy. The atmosphere is great, lively and fun with the live music as happy background sounds. And the tables are far enough apart that you can have a conversation. I had the beet salad which was so good! Delicious, balanced and well seasoned. I was having a hard time deciding because I loved the prep on the scallop dish but I don't care for scallops. So I made an off menu request and I'm so happy that they were able to accommodate. My meal was great! Shrimp on the scallop dish instead of scallops. The Carolina gold rice dish was so good and miso glaze was so delicious! I also had Flora's Muse, now I'm not generally a drinker but this sounded so good, pomegranate, lime that I wanted to try it. Very tasty indeed! Highly recommend! For a great meal in a great space. Can't believe that I forgot to mention one of the highlights of our visits to SNOB. The night before we had dinner we stopped in for the music and a drink. I generally order non-alcoholic, so I ordered my standard club soda with some fruit juice for flavor. Hubby had a bourbon and we listened to the musicians, watched the game and talked to some of the other patrons. The bartender noticed my glass was more than half empty and asked if he could refresh for me. No one ever does this for non-alcoholic beverages! The bar was mildly busy and I really appreciated that he noticed and Asked (ASKED) if he could refresh for me. So nice!

I went here with my mother because she wanted excellent shrimp and grits. The restaurant was bustling when we walked in for our 12:15 reservation. As a vegetarian, I prepared myself to cobble together a meal with a corn muffin, and assorted side dishes. When our server offered the off-menu vegetarian plate to me, I said yes, expecting rice and stir fried veggies (as I've received at other restaurants). But no! I received this bountiful plate stuffed with local favorites like cheesy grits and red rice, along with carefully prepared vegetables like fire roasted tomatoes, glazed eggplant, and beyond-crispy baby potatoes. I couldn't finish it all: I left the restaurant stuffed and satisfied. If the off-menu dish is that good, I think that bodes well for the actual menu. My mom loved her shrimp and grits! Highly recommend a visit. Exceptional food, reasonable prices, and great hospitality.

One of the best meals I have EVER HAD! Every appetizer and entree that came to our table had a memorable twist. The shrimp and grits was the best S&G that I have ever had. And don't be afraid of the naming of the bbq tuna. Again, extremely unique with the perfectly basted bbq and oysters on top. And our waitress!!!! Lila!!!!! She encourages you to take the risk, which did not disappoint!

Always good Restaurant week amazing Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant/ staff/ kitchen.. etc I've been 6-7 times now... over the years. Always amazing Highly recommend Everything on the menu is good

Our family enjoyed a wonderful Saturday brunch. Our server was top-notch, the atmosphere had that upscale southern feel, and the food and drinks were perfection. All six of us enjoyed our experience very much.

Food was amazing but service was even more so! Great options for a gluten-free requirement.

This was not what I was expecting! I was thinking it would be low key and kitsch-y but it was an upscale eatery with lots of ladies and men having work meetings. Our waiter was divine and clearly invested in helping us enjoy our meal. He brought both desserts so we could decide which was better(pot de crème or crème brulee'- both were WOW.). I had the carpaccio on his recommendation and my friend had the Rueben. We ate it all up and it was delicious and a notch above, if you will. This didn't strike me as a place to take kids, as you want to enjoy the ambience and higher level menu but could be different at other times.

The Jazz band stopped playing shortly after I sat down in the restaurant, darn! Love the colorful & playful bold artworks around on restaurant walls. Paul is knowledgeable, amicable, the light conversations happened makes dining solo comfortable & enjoyable.

Outstanding meal. Delightful later in the evening with friends. Inventive and interesting food

Great atmosphere and great service. People here are super friendly the servers here are so welcoming and knowledgeable with the menu. Food was good not great for me. Too much vegan and veggies for me with what's on their menu. Portions of meat are on the smaller side of things. This again my opinion of a massively meat driven eater. Love it here for social reasons and establishment trendy foods.

For the first time in my 60+ years, we went to a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. I chose a favorite, SNOB, and as always more than happy with the food and service! The specialty cocktail was a Pumpkin Spice Martini, delicious! The food as always was excellent but nothing beats their Chocolate PotDe Crème, absolutely amazing! A window seat for two and we could not have been happier. Service at this restaurant is always first class! Strongly recommend for any occasion or none at all!

Slightly North of Broad aka S.N.O.B. is a fantastic establishment! From start to finish, they carried themselves with the utmost class. They have phenomenal service that makes sure you have everything you desire, a very lively and cool atmosphere, and extremely excellent food. There was nothing we did not thoroughly enjoy! Can't wait to go back! PRO TIP: Go with family and friends who you enjoy splitting dishes with so you can try the most items from the menu. ;D

I'd like to go back. Service wasn't so great, but we know it wasn't our server, who was very attentive. Food was very good & cocktails were superb. Nice ambiance. We sat outside.

OMG SNOB! You have spoiled me. What a cool place. Loved the ambiance, loved the lounge live music. Loved the bar, bartenders were friendly and helpful. I don't know what all I can say except the mule was super tasty, the Carolina BBQ shrimp and the yellow grits and bread and cornbread plate were a perfect combination... Everything was on par. I really enjoy places that do it all right!

Had an amazing dinner here! Started with the clams and Beef Carpaccio and both were amazing! The swordfish was great too along with the drinks. Our server Lexi was super attentive and made our experience so much better.

Make a reservation! Phenomenal food in which you won't regret a trip here. You'll be wishing you could fit more in your belly because it's so good. The flavor and tenderness of each plate is mouthwatering.
