Centrally located in historic downtown Charleston, Husk transforms the essence of Southern cuisine. Led by Executive Chef Ray England, the kitchen reinterprets the bounty of the surrounding area, exploring an ingredient-driven cuisine that begins in the rediscovery of heirloom products and redefines what it means to cook and eat in the Lowcountry. At Husk, there are some rules about what can go on the plate – if it doesn’t come from the South, it’s not coming through the door. Much like the décor that inhabits this historic Victorian-era home, the food is modern in style and interpretation. The restaurant is as casual as it is chic, evoking a way of life centered on seasonality and the grand traditions of Charleston life. It is a neighborhood gathering place for friends, and a destination dining spot for travelers seeking an award-winning taste of the South.

    We enjoyed the hospitality of all we interacted with. We were traveling with an infant and we felt comfortable and accommodated. Our server was wonderful and recommended numerous delicious dishes including hells bells cocktail, carrot side, and a surprise favorite- rabbit! The apple bread pudding with cheddar ice cream had amazing flavor. A truly special evening on vacation!

    We love Husk! From the bartenders at husk bar to the amazing service staff and managers in the main restaurant , the experience is five star! Top notch food , ambience , but most importantly the Husk staff work to connect with the guests to create a memorable evening. This has been and continues to be one of the best restaurant choices of Charleston!!

    Excellent from start to finish, our waiter Randy was great, especially explaining the dishes. We enjoyed the chicken liver mousse, the Rabbit (yes… it was good!) cornbread, and a delicious chocolate dessert! My only regret is we can’t eat there again before we leave Charleston!

    Service was great, but food was just average. We had eaten brunch there last spring, so were eager to enjoy Husk for dinner. The rabbit was like sausage; the shrimp pasta was good and spicy, but not special. The first course was heavy, not unique. And the price was what we would expect for a really good meal.

    Lacking southern hospitality. No effort to keep their business. Resting on laurels. Bland food. Bitter greens. Waiter has no personality. Curt phone reception. Hostess was nice. Good cocktails.

    The service was excellent and the food was very good. The portions are very small I ordered the beef and was told it will be 5 oz. I didn’t realize how small 5 oz really is. I received 5 small sliced portions of beef. Also I ordered a glass of wine which was excellent but it also did not look like a 6oz pour. I would of ordered another glass but not for such a small pour.

    Husk for our 29th wedding anniversary didn’t disappoint! Excellent food and service was beyond expectations. Do not pass up the chance to visit the bar prior to dining as their cocktails are wonderful and the bar itself is a special experience! Can’t wait to come back and enjoy another culinary delight.

    The food here was brilliant. Especially the pork dishes, which they seemed to do some sort of magic with, but also the vegan dish (not on the menu) that they whipped up for my Father in law. Sometimes "veggie plate" is really boring, but each of the four bowls they brought were really delicious and different - collard greens like none I have had, smokey, even without the usual meat in the mix, and not at all bitter. A wide variety of mushrooms in a delicous sauce, and so on. The service was outstanding (our server was Leslie, and her recommendations were spot-on!).

    A faulty fire sprinkler erupted on the mostly empty outdoor dining balcony but operations inside carried on despite an ear piercing fire alarm. A pleasant staff and decadent menu more than made up for a kitchen that was lagging in order delivery. The Pastrami Pork Hash is a hearty brunch choice. (It could benefit from a second poached egg). Our starter, a Smoked Fish Toast on crusty bread, is destined for fame, as it combines smoked trout with egg salad and fish roe (domestic caviar). My spouse loved the thinly sliced country ham with buttery biscuits. This was not my grandfather's country ham. Light on salt and gristle.

    Wonderful service. Daily menu was outstanding. It was our anniversary, and our menus were printed with "Happy Anniversary". That was a very personal touch. We were very impressed. The staff were all in a great mood and smiling the entire time. Our cocktails were made from fresh and handmade ingredients. I have already recommended Husk to several of my friends. We will definitely go back.

    What a wonderful meal. Every dish was so creative and delicious. The setting was beautiful too. It’s been many years since we’ve eaten at Husk and I’d venture to say the new chef has really elevated the farm to table concept to new and innovative levels. Also, if you can get a seat at the separate bar, don’t miss it either before or after your meal. Such an experience and amazing selection of whiskey and bourbon

    Overall the food was fine, but not up to the standards of previous visits. Almost that they are trying too hard to incorporate too many unique things in some dishes. The staples like ham biscuits were delicious. Service was ok, but again not up to the standards of previous visits.

    I have always wanted to have dinner at Husk. This was the first time I was able to get a reservation at a decent time. It was my birthday and was looking forward to a wonderful meal. Needless to say, I was disappointed with the NY grass fed steak as it was flavorless and the wood fired oysters as they were just average and I felt the meal was overpriced. The cornbread and Grits were the best part of the meal. Our server was nice as she did wish me a Happy Birthday. I think they may do better with just a plain prime rib.

    After reading all of your reviews we were very excited to get into your restaurant. If I’m being honest I think the appetizers were off the charts, but the three entrées we ordered, were quite disappointing. I ordered the triggerfish with risotto. The risotto was very mushy and swimming in cream. Uneatable for my liking. The fish was very generically prepared not very tasty. My daughter order the catfish which was super smoky along with the super smoky red rice and Swiss chard( all had the same overall taste which was unremarkable). My husband got the steak with the oxtail side dish. The steak didn’t have much taste. Like I said earlier, expected the dishes to be super inventive and flavorful and didn’t really find that to be the case. What was delicious were the appetizers! We had the crab appetizer, the lamb pasta balls and the cornbread. Given the hype and the price, the experience was not up to our expectations. Beautiful ambiance and great service. Oh and great cocktails!!! Just being honest. Don’t mean to insult in any way.
