An eighth generation Alabama native, Stewart’s love and appreciation of southern food shows up throughout the menu which features comfort food and reflects his time growing up in Alabama, and his influences from experience in New Orleans and in the Lowcountry.

We loved The Glass Onion, it was the best meal we had when we were in Charleston. My husband had the shrimp and grits with a side of collards and I had the sautéed trout with rice and butter beans, everything was delicious. In addition the atmosphere was very welcoming and the servers were terrific.
We had to have dessert as we heard that the pastry chef was excellent. We had the banana pudding and the bread pudding and we loved every bite. We will be sure to go back there if we ever visit the area again.

Excellent Southern Cuisine!!
The Glass Onion serves delicious locally sourced food that’s cooked from scratch. I had fried shrimp with a house made remoulade, side of perfectly seasoned collards, and cornbread. My husband had catfish that was so tender it fell apart! The tartar sauce was also made in house, and delicious! Their menu changes daily…WOW!
The staff was attentive and friendly, service was excellent. Will be back in the next time we’re in Charleston!

Good restaurant. The food is very good, although the portions are small. The pork belly and collard greens were very good. The cornbread was good, but served without butter. I had to request it. My kids ordered chicken strips and we had to request ketchup after the food was delivered as they were not delivered with any sauces. The service was friendly, but did not really anticipate needs/wants. It’s not somewhere I’m dying to go back to, but not a bad option if you want some slightly above average low country cuisine. 4 stars because the pork belly was fantastic despite the small portion.

What a find! Visiting Charleston and had read good things about The Glass Onion. It did not disappoint!
Our server ( Haley?) was just the cutest! So bubbly, knowledgeable and attentive.
We were a party of 6. We had shrimp po boy, chicken sandwich, pork chops, gumbo and shrimp and grits. Everything was fresh and excellent. My son said it was the best chicken sandwich he’s ever had and he’s had a lot!
The macaroni salad is amazing!
We even bought a couple of cookbooks. Can’t wait to try some recipes.
Don’t pass this place by!

AMAZING southern comfort food. Stopped on the way to the airport, and it was delicious. Fried green tomato a must! We both had the buttermilk chicken sandwich, it was all great quality and good tasting! Service was friendly and top notch!

Reliably good. I am always pleased to see the trout on the menu. My friend had the catfish. We were both happy!

Really excellent quality southern food. Lots of food so we rolled out without dessert, but all those options looked good as well. It was all pretty traditional and so good. We really loved the pickles and the frying green tomatoes with pimento cheese.

Fantastic meal. We tried a variety of menu items and everything was incredible. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts (best I have ever had!). Prices were very reasonable as a bonus!

Delicious! I had the Mountain Trout entree ($19), Beer ($5), and Key Lime Tart ($8).
Best trout I’ve ever had. Moist (but not wet), fill of flavor.
The rice and butter beans sounds blase’, but was so good!
The dessert was just right. Made in house. Taste it, and it’s obvious!

Low key atmosphere with great service and great food. Southern soul food at its finest. Totally recommend this restaurant. Everything was amazing. Note: you can order the quail either with one or with two quail. Better be hungry if ordering two. Enjoy! Oh! Don’t forget to ask for Thunder sauce for the quail!
