I am not sure why so many of the reviews are so good with 5 stars. Maybe it is because 82 Queen has lots of potential to be a great restaurant. It has a charming location in the heart of downtown. Several small dining rooms make the place quiet and intimate. But we cannot taste ambience! We ordered the namesake Queen Salad and found a large salad (large enough for three kind of large) made with what looks like triple-washed greens from the supermarket (you know the kind that comes in a bag) dressed in Krafts ranch dressing with shredded Cheddar and bacon bits-reminds me of salad bars from my college dining hall. The salad foreshadowed the rest of our meal which was very underwhelming. The crab cake was bland. So was the seafood gumbo, it was thin and tasted like a vegetable soup with a few shrimp thrown in. What happen to the roux? The bright spots of the whole evening was the She crab soup and the mini biscuits and salted butter. Even then, The She crab soup is only average. The staff could have been trained a little better-our server left an unused wine glass on our table throughout the evening-he should have cleared it since only one of us was having wine. He also did not clear our used plates until our next course was served. Our dinner costs about the same as the one we had the previous night at The Ordinary but the differences between the two meals was like night and day.

Visited on a Sunday evening and restaurant was not overly crowded. Server was off point. We were offered menus when we sat down. The next time she came by she asked for our dinner order. Did not offer to take drink orders. Forgot to bring promised bread. Brought soup almost immediately. Main courses soon followed. Brought wrong entree salad. Replaced and it was drenched in dressing rather than on the side as requested. Replaced it again. In the meantime, husband's dinner is getting cold. Meal was rushed rather than the leisurely evening we had anticipated. Manager comped salad and brought a piece of pie to take home, but did not make up for disappointing evening.

Josh was a fantastic server. He went above and beyond to make our experience at 82 Queen special. The She Crab Soup was AMAZING! I've lived in Charleston for 25+ years and this is my favorite restaurant by far! Thank you Josh for making our meal so memorable!

The soup was very salty. Heirloom tomato and cucumber salad was ordinary cherry tomato instead of the delicious juicy slices. Coconut curry whole snapper was rubberized and tasteless. We can't even cut through the skin. However, staff were kind to comp dinner and we just paid for our drinks. Have to tip waiter well as he lost his deal on our table:(

Had a great supper at 82 Queen. My boyfriend had the jambalaya and I had the fish and grits, both were very tasty. We also started with the infamous she crab soup. Very creamy. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert but I certainly recommend this restaurant!
