Beautiful old house with flavorful cuisine. The chicken liver pate was a WOW moment. The Joyce Farm Chicken and the Schnitzel were both memorable. The atmosphere is sophisticated but also restrained. The staff were attentive and helpful. Great place to take guests or celebrate a special occasion.

Made birthday reservations and our waiter Kevin was absolutely amazing! Fantastic suggestions, perfect timing on the courses and drinks. Hit all of the highlights and answered all of our question; even when he said he’d have to differ to the bartender Damian when we asked for suggestions about adding a shot of something to the mockingbird, mocktail (Bar Hill Tom Cat gin, I will not be able to recommend this enough and I’m not usually a gin drinker). The oyster starter was grilled to perfection and my companions arent usually fans of oysters and I nearly had to fight them for my share! The pimento cheese and ham was super flavorful and the biscuits fluffy while still being sturdy, great highlight to the house pickles. The scallop starter was light and flavorful, a little bit of spice from the jalapeño, but not too overwhelming. The cornbread side was absolutely delightful, the eggplant flavorfull and well roasted. The chicken fried rabbit was jucy and delicious, the grits and gumbo offset it with a wonderfully deep, rich flavor. The pastrami was pull apart soft and juicy, with some solid roasted potatoes. The diver scallops were buttery smooth and melt in your mouth; the succotash was lightly sweet, with a lot of good corn flavor and a hint of roasted tomatillo. The icebox cake was much lighter than I was expecting with a good mocha flavor and smooth dark chocolate pastry. The seasonal ice cream we went with was the muscadine, which is apparently a local grape, which we never would have guessed, and will now go on, wishing it was a flavor we could get shipped back home with us to MN. It was absolutely amazing, light and flavorful with some vanilla bean, and i now have a quest to get my hands on some of those grapes. We will absolutely be returning for more seasonal options and to find out whats for dinner next time!

We had a delicious meal on Valentine’s Day and didn’t feel like we were rushed or being sold a prix fixe menu. Our waiter was so sweet and very fun to chat with. The oysters I chose were so fresh, the whitefish dip was the perfect consistency, and the chicken was crispy and tender. I’ve been to Husk before but it was nice to try newer items on their menu. Always a favorite!

Had an AMAZING dinner with my husband last night. One of the absolute best we’ve had in Charleston so far.
Great ambiance, service, food, and cocktails.
I highly recommend the pimento cheese and biscuit board to start, Pastrami Brisket and Chicken with black garlic coconut sauce for entrees, and rhe grits and corn bread for sides. Everything was excellent.

We were spending one night in Charleston and asked a friend—who’s visited countless times—for a dinner recommendation. His answer was immediate: Husk. Reservations were tough to come by (nothing until 9:45 PM on a Sunday), but thanks to Resy Global Access we snagged an 8:30 PM spot on the upstairs porch.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and seated at a beautiful table overlooking the street. Our server, Megan, introduced herself right away and was fantastic from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed.
We started with cocktails (the Pisco in a Pear Tree is excellent), a glass of Cabernet, and the skillet cornbread. The cornbread had great flavor—definitely ask for extra butter—but ours was a bit burnt on top.
For entrées, we both ordered the diver scallops with brown butter, potato & bacon cream, and sourdough crumbles. The scallops were slightly overcooked, but the flavor was incredible. Surprisingly, the diced potatoes underneath might have been the highlight of the plate—rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned.
To finish, we shared two seasonal scoops: sweet potato ice cream (very pumpkin-pie-esque) and an orange creamsicle sherbet. Both were delicious, but the sherbet was the perfect light ending to the meal.
Despite a couple small imperfections, the combination of ambiance, food, and truly exceptional service made this a standout dining experience. We will absolutely return on our next trip to Charleston. Highly recommend.

Perfect! Great staff, atmosphere, food and cocktails. It was just an absolute winner. Our hostess Jayla, server Kyle and Sommelier Megan were all outstanding. They leaned in with the best version of themselves and it created a wonderful culinary experience. On top of it all, the food was amazing. I loved the deviled eggs, scallops and grits. The best that I ever eaten. Plus, the Pisco in a Pear Tree cocktail was a delicious and unique spin on the traditional Pisco Sour. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and fantastic. It was everything that I expected from a classic Charleston experience. The desserts were terrific as well. I highly recommend making reservations in advance and making sure that you partake in this very special dining experience.

This was our third visit here and it didn’t disappoint. We had a 5:30 reservation which enabled us to have a window seat looking at the courtyard and across from the kitchen pass. We began our dinner with drinks containing bourbon, after all it is the South. I selected Elijah Craig Maple & Applewood Finished – 2025 Ryder Cup Edition, Bardston, NY 94.0 proof on the rocks. My husband chose a Husk Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve bourbon, rye, bitters, orange peel and simple syrup. I had my drink on the rocks and found the Elijah Craig to be smooth with a little kick on the back end.
We were quite indulgent with both of us having our own appetizers to start dinner. My husband chose Pimento Cheese (topped with a bit of chili crisp), with thinly slice Broadbent Country Ham and buttermilk biscuits to spread the cheese on along with pickles. This was delightful as the chili crisp provided a punch and a bit of heat, the ham provided texture and the pickle helped cut through all the richness. I chose the Wood Fried NC Oysters, Collard Green Rockefeller. OMG, these were to die for. The collard greens were turned into a sauce reminiscent of pesto sauce; the oysters were perfectly cooked.
For entrees we ordered Seared Diver Scallops, Brown Butter, Potato & Bacon Cream, Sourdough and Golden Tilefish, Cabbage, Pine Bark Broth, Turnips. The food was absolutely scrumptious. The scallops were plump and seared to golden perfection and the sauce underneath added a nice contrast to the dish. My tile fish was crispy and moist and the accompanying vegetables gave the dish a complexity of flavors.
I do love to end a meal with a little something sweet. Although we couldn’t eat another thing, I thought ice cream would hit the spot. While we could have chosen one flavor, but how can you when Husk offers muscadine grape sorbet, sweet potato pie and chocolate peanut butter as a selection. As we usually skip lunch while traveling, we indulged and order all three; I’m glad we did. The muscadine grape sorbet was a flavor I wasn’t expecting. The sorbet had a richness to it, a subtle sweet flavor and a lovely grape flavor. The sweet potato pie was tasty as well with pieces of pie throughout the ice cream. I’m not a peanut butter ice cream lover, but the rich, dark chocolate flavored with the peanut butter was to die for. The flavors were well balance with neither the chocolate or peanut butter dominating; it was so good.

Firstly, beware that there are two sides of HUSK. One is fine dining and the other is casual bar dining. We mistakenly went to the casual side although we intended on fine dining, we weren’t disappointed. The food were delicious and the service was excellent and the ambience was great. The burger and fries were the best I’ve had a a restaurant and okra was amazing. I recommend this place for a great dining experience.

WOW. It was packed on a Monday night and it’s easy to see why. The dirty california gold rice was insanely flavorful and moist, the cornbread skillet was delicious, the pastrami brisket was so tender with a flavorful crust…such an unreal meal! The menu changes daily, which is so fun. Our server, Chris, was also wonderful and so helpful. Definitely make a reservation and check out Husk if you’re in Charleston!

Wonderful restaurant with an excellent menu that reflects Charleston and the surrounding area’s culture.
Although the menu changes somewhat from what I hear, the “chicken fried rabbit is the best I have ever tasted – moist with excellent flavors. Don’t miss this dining experience if you are visiting this beautiful city.
