The menu here is very unique, especially compared to the other high end restaurants in the area. Don't miss the chicken skins . The pork chop was huge and came with the best peach & bbq coleslaw ever.

AmateurConcierge

Gourmet southern fare at the most in demand spot in town . Burger was good but not amazing (and no Dijon in the House!). Shrimp and grits and rice pie ftw

nathan archambault

Fried Chicken Skins with hot sauce and honey ; The Husk Burger , possibly the finest burger in the South; a side of skillet cornbread with Allan Benton’s bacon . the veggie plate .

Eater

Infamously blended with bacon (see a full rundown on what this entails), the burger at Sean Brock 's Husk in Charleston is a pilgrimage to be made by any burger fanatic.

Lee Hoffman

Incredible meal. One of the best steaks , best grilled cheese , and peanutbutter cup desserts I’ve ever had. All the other items incredible too - crouton salad in particular.

val schomer

I would recommend something specific but the menu changes every day! The charming atmosphere and quality local ingredients means you can't go wrong when choosing something to eat.

Nina Zhang

Everything was amazing - from the lunch menu , nonetheless! Pork belly lettuce wrap , shrimpngrits, flat iron and pheasant (yes - for 2 ppl). Everything blew our mind, and we have high expectation.

Adam Tornes

Best restaurant in Charleston! Had one of the best dishes I've ever had (Sous vide Pork Shoulder + Pork Belly )! Switch the menu 2x daily. Pig 's ears are a regular item and are amazing!

W magazine

Husk aspires to the heartiest of home cooking , assuming that the home’s kitchen has access to rare ingredients like Carolina Gold rice and flowering basil , almost entirely from local farms . Read more

Layla Khoury-Hanold

Eat here as often as possible: shrimp n grits or burger at lunch , crispy pig ears lettuce wraps + wood fired mussels to start at din. Can't go wrong w any of the entrees.

PureWow

And the award for most curb appeal goes to…Husk in Charleston, which is located inside a renovated Southern home dating back to 1893. There’s no better place to feast on cornmeal-dusted catfish . Read more

For diners jonesing for Northern-style wings , chef Sean Brock offers an alternative: hot wing–inspired "Buffalo" Pig 's Ear Lettuce Wraps served with sweet vinegar–marinated cucumbers and red onions . Read more

Christina Lago

Lucky to have gotten a reservation here for lunch . The food was incredible. Probably the best chicken wings I’ve ever had. Drinks were great, too!

Travel + Leisure

After a whiskey cocktail at Husk Bar , head to dinner in the neighboring historic house, with a romantic two-story porch and a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard highlighting regional farmers and purveyors.

The Employee of the Month

The menu changes daily but everything we had was outstanding. Best steak I've had in a long time, the punch drinks were mellow and tasty.

Jacob Gyllenstierna

The leg of duck is probably the most savory dish I've ever had. So much flavor. The pig ears are a great starter. After dinner , head to the bar next door for awesome cocktails . Open until midnight.

David Johnson

While Husk was really good I definitely didn't think it was top 15 in the country good. The chicken skins and fried pig ear appetizers were definitely both outstanding.

Colby Morgan

Fabulous. Husk's reputation is well deserved. All the ingredients are farm-to-table. The buttered lettuce wraps with pig ears was delicious. My shrimp and grits was the best I have had.

Farhat Sikder

I really loved the pimento cheese crostinis ! I was a bit restricted to order since I can’t have pork , most of the food uses pork . But the shrimp and grits were good.

Michael V

If you come to Charleston you HAVE to eat here at least once or three times. Start with the Dragoon Punch or a cider wine . Food and service are top notch served in an older beautiful building.

Suzannah Simmons

The Carolina Gold Rice "Risotto " w/ Roasted Fennel and Tomatoes , English Pea Pesto is hands-down the best rice dish I have ever had! Ask for Travis. He gives impeccable service !

Joe Rizk

burger is solid (served as a double w bacon mixed into the patties). only served in main restaurant until 230p and in the bar next door after 4p. great whiskey / bourbon list .

Meaghan Dunn

Mile Zero cocktail is a great 'not your average' light summer cocktail , and the red snapper entree is delicious. Try to get a table on the upper porch - Relaxing, candlelit atmosphere

Adam Smith

Try the Husk cheeseburger . I was surprised I ordered it (as there are many great unique things on the menu), but our server recommended it. I was glad I did!!!!

Kate Shaw

Get a dish with Carolina Gold rice , it's the best rice I've ever had. This is not an edgy place; really good meal, really good ingredients, cool setting.

Lynn Moore

We had the cheeseburger - which is a must if you've never had it! The rest of the menu looked awesome! The drink menu was also very creative! We will return.

Colby Vargas

My partner got the red snapper and loved it. I get that it's a rotating seasonal menu but it's still hard for me to think the quality of the meal justifies the tiny expensive portion they give you.

Juan Ignacio Montesinos

Everything is awesome!!! But the general tso's pig ears are out of this world!!! Be sure to have them and the duck confit .

Chev W

Good dinner , but great brunch ! Free bubbly if it’s a special occasion

Eater

It's impossible to ignore the place where Sean Brock cooks with his heart. It's all Southern, all the time. [Eater 18 Member]

Epicurious

The signature Husk cheeseburger , a kind of haute upgrade of In-N-Out's, comprises different cuts of meat, Brock's secret sauce, pickles , and melted cheese , and is worth every calorie. Read more

Kathleen

great dinner and wonderful menu. Really felt like we were eating authentic regional cousin and it was great! Wait staff was wonderful and wine list was great - reasonable.

Perri Silver

One of the best meals of my life. The oysters , pig ear lettuce cups , and duck entree were standouts.

Michael

Shrimp and grits for lunch were perfect in flavor and portion. The pimiento cheese crostini was luxurious !

Steven Y

The Atlantic grouper and heritage pork entrees are fantastic; be sure to try The Bucket List cocktail , which is bourbon-based with cold brewed coffee !

Jack Nussbaum

Don't come here and not get the grits , you'll regret it! The fried chicken was equally outstanding!

Steph Benecchi

Food was fantastic - fried chicken skins were delicious and perfect for anyone who believes skin is the best part of the chicken , but a generous portion means it's a better choice for larger groups.

The bourbon selection is the best in Charleston, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City : Charleston. Read more

Uyennie

this was the best dinner i had in in charleston. fresh ingredients . creative dishes. great service. everything was amazing.

Jeremy Beker

Long wait but totally worth it. Have a drink at the bar before your meal. Fried chicken skins with spicy honey are to die for.

Alexandre Munhoz

Chicken skins , pork ribs , fish on corn floor.. all good. Is it worth waiting one month in a waiting list? No

Peter Boyce

Grilled oysters , chicken skins , grilled fish , great staff , Southern architecture

Mike Waclo

The menu changes daily, so it's hard to make entree recommendations, but you shouldn't miss the cornbread , which is out of this world!

Paige C

Make your reservations 3 months in advance! Seriously!

Mary Catherine James

This is one of my favorite restaurants . Every meal I've had there has been just fabulous.

Niq Howard

This might be one of the best meals I've ever eaten. I also love the little baskets the bread comes in. I ha the red porgy and clams ...flavor to die for.

Beau Blinder

Think about ordering 3-4 small plates and splitting an entree. Fried pig 's ear was a favorite for us!

Men's Health Mag

Get the pig ears . They're bacon 's more complex cousin–with the same smoky flavor and crisp chew–pressure cooked for 90 minutes, sliced into thin strips, smoked for several hours, and then deep fried.

Lily

You're not going to go wrong here with anything, but don't miss the fried chicken skins . Their sazerac is also damn mighty fine.

Brad Totherow

Ask for "the Love" now on draft ! It's a German style Hefe by Starr Hill Brewery in Charlottesville Va. They have Northern Lights IPA in the bottle as well ! Enjoy
