Where to eat in Charleston, SC?

Passing through for one night on the way to somewhere else. Looking for kid friendly (not change a diaper in the booth friendly, but you know).

We love the off the beaten path places. One hard and fast rule is nowhere we could eat at home.

What does DU think? BBQ? Seafood?

Going through Savannah on the way home so could have two shots at it. But we have a seafood joint we like there.

My wife had a cousin there and he was kick-ass guy who I loved more than a lot of my own family. Haven't been since he passed away but I need to get back there soon. We always ate at Loves or a little place called Sweet Potatoes.

But if you ever go back without the kids, Halls Chop House for the best steak in town. Pricey but so worth it

It's family owned off the main tourist areas. The service was perfect and they had a jazz.band playing downstairs. Get the fried green tomatoes. They come with a lobster chutney. Oh my god.

Hubby and I had lunch there on our last trip to Charleston. It was excellent.

To get there you can walk past the stables for one of the horse tours of Charleston. Fun for the kids
to see the horses leaving the stable.

Not only Stephen Colbert's favorite, but one of ours, too. Very kid friendly!

Otherwise, T-Bonz
