Seasonal farm-to-table eatery with innovative dishes & craft cocktails
"Blending seasonal, sustainable Charleston cooking with Mediterranean-rim flavors, the kitchen—under Chef de Cuisine Evan Van Horn’s influence—adds dishes like benne seed chips with smoked fish dip and delicata squash with pistachio dukka to long-running hits. Harissa-seasoned carrots, fried oysters with deviled-egg sauce, and a celebratory Lowcountry Seafood Pilau (Carolina Gold rice, shrimp, field peas, fried fish, clams) reflect the restaurant’s regional reinterpretations." - Stephanie Burt
"A Charleston stalwart that seasoned pros watch closely during soft-shell season because it usually gets first pick at the supply." - Erin Perkins
"Super seasonal restaurant the Grocery offers a uniquely Southern take on the martini with a pickled green tomato version. It’s vinegary, a little sweet, and super refreshing." - Erin Perkins
"When they are in season, soft shell crabs make Charlestonians go crazy. As the short-season delicacy makes it to local menus, they are soon everywhere. This year, the Grocery served a variety of soft shells presentations — including its famous “Old School, Old South, and Old World” (Old School is sauteed in lemon butter sauce, Old South is dusted in cornmeal and deep fried, and Old World is roasted in the wood-burning oven)." - Erin Perkins
"A longtime Charleston restaurant that typically secures early shipments of seasonal soft-shell crabs, making it a reliable first stop for devotees who watch menus closely during the brief spring softie season." - Erin Perkins
