Down the Queen street alley (*caution* narrow side walks, cobblestones). Outside courtyard tables and upstairs tables. Let them know when you make your reservation, (RESY by Google search, or app. NOT on open table to …
Absolutely delicious, I was here for my anniversary on 01/17 our server was wonderful cracking jokes since we got there to the time we left, food was some of the best I’d ever had. I had the fish and grits the sauce was delicious but the grits could have carried the dish all on its own. My girl had the …
Cute location, cute courtyard with seating. Had the mule mocktail, tasty! For food we had the she crab soup, not the best in town, heavy on the flour but tasty all the same. The fried green tomatoes were wonderful. The service was also great, Gretchen was knowledgeable and with specific allergies she offered great alternatives. Oh and the in house …
82 Queen was a great experience and felt like stepping into another world. The restaurant is set inside a beautiful historic home that has been transformed into a dining space, and every room has its own personality and theme. It made walking through the space part of the experience itself. The food was excellent too. The chicken wrap and chicken …
82 Queen is a wonderful place to enjoy brunch. We ordered the Oysters Rockefeller, Crab Cake appetizer, Lowcountry Breakfast Bowl, and Crab Cake Benedict. Everything was delicious! Since we were celebrating a birthday, they gave everyone at our table a complimentary glass of champagne. What a pleasant surprise! Thank you so much 82 Queen. We cannot wait to return!
The setting was amazing. My husband and I chose to dine outdoors where the scenic garden kept us captured. The cocktails were well prepared and the wine was nice and crisp. My husband had the duck and I had the gumbo, both were well proportioned and seasoned. Overall I give this place a 10/10 we will definitely be back
Visited for the 1st time, on vacation. What an incredible place. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere stunning. And the food was out of this world. I've raved about it to everyone I've met since. I'd book another vacation to Charleston just to go back. FYI we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, and She Crab Soup to …
Beautiful surroundings first class service and Charleston’s finest food. Fresh mint ice tea, crab cake appetizer, blackened Grouper and pralines and cream for dessert. The perfect culinary blend.
We dined at 82 Queen for our anniversary this evening and it was the culinary highlight of our long weekend! The staff were very friendly and even allowed us to move up our reservation 45 mins early. Walking down a narrow and charming ally, we were escorted to the second floor where we were seated in pure Southern elegance. We …
Definitely recommend it. We had the crab cake, cup of crab soup and the fried tomatoe. I love crab, the soup is so very good. None of the food was heavy. I really liked the bed of corn in the Crab cake. It was the yummy non sweet corn, just like I remember when I was a child. Service: we …
