Best Southern American Restaurants in Sullivan's Island

I use Open Table a lot. When we got to the restaurant they did not have our reservation. I showed it to them & they very cordially seated us. Just not sure if it was an Open Table issue or a restaurant issue. But otherwise a great dining experience & highly recommend VOK.

Amazing from the most moment we walked in we were welcomed like we were regulars. The interior and ambience is really quite beautiful. I had read a lot of reviews as I always do so I take my reviewing very seriously. I almost didn't go based on some negative reviews, but there were so many good ones I decided to try it. We were not disappointed. We happen to luck out and get Darnell as our waiter. I have read a lot about him, and he was every bit as wonderful as other reviewer said everyone there went above and beyond to make sure the water was filled to make sure our food was good at Dornell's suggestion I ordered the whole fried flounder or something I've never had. It was absolutely delicious and he even instructed me on the correct way to eat it around the bones my partner got the halibut and it was also delicious. We got the shrimp de jonghe as the appetizer which was to die for, and because we told them it was our anniversary in the reservation they brought us two glasses of champagne and a beautiful plate, written in chocolate, good wishes with some cream and berries. I would absolutely recommend this and go here again.

We originally had reservations for 7 pm but were able to sit earlier. The service was good, and the food was excellent. I had the fried chicken and my wife had the chicken pot pie. Both were delicious. The noise level was okay and part way through the meal they changed the music to classic rock, which suited us old folks just fine. The prices were fine for downtown Charleston, and it wasn’t too busy. To be fair, it is early January. We’ll definitely be back.

A truly exceptional fine dining experience. Our server Stephanie (from Phoenix AZ) as fantastic in paying a lot of attention to us and the rest of her tables. They have an incredible wine list with some decent prices as well. We ordered Foie Gras (excellent), Carpaccio (light and easy). My wife ordered a Fillet which was cooked to perfection. I ordered the local fish with white asparagus. Only comment was that the "sauce" consisting of capers and olives was way too salty. Other than not being asked if we wanted to check in our coats at the beginning, I would give it a 9.5 out of ten.

Very accommodating. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us a nice experience. The food was excellent. Thank you for a great start to 2025 !!!
