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.

    Exceptional cocktails at the Husk Bar. Great food- we shared the delicious oysters and the spicy lamb dumplings. Oh and the yummmmmy cornbread. Entrees were very good- we ordered the rabbit sausage and the snapper. Best overall meal of our visit!

    I actually never ate here this time 'round... They cancelled their relationship with Open Table, and when I tried to cancel, those jerks at Open Table penalized them and wouldn't readjust their tech support allowing me to cancel. Shame on you, Open Table. But I have eaten at Husk many times in the past and it's been terrific!

    The food is excellent and it’s a great experience. Make your reservation as soon as you know your schedule. This is a place you don’t want to miss. My only criticism is that they took the bread pudding off the menu. They made it better than I’ve ever had. They did replace it with the best banana pudding I’ve ever had, so it’s hard to complain. If you have time, go early and hit their bar next door while you wait. Historic home, great food!

    My low scores are for Open Table, not Husk. I had to move my reservation (and trip to Charleston) from March 1st to mid-April. When I tried to cancel the reservation on Open Table, it would not let me as suggested that I call Husk. I did that and they quickly changed my reservation. They also told me that they stopped using Open Table and changed to Resy. I continued to get emails from Open Table asking me to confirm the registration. Again I tried to cancel and it wouldn’t let me. I now am receiving emails from Open Table asking how my dinner was? And solicited my feedback …which is what I am doing here. This has been a very frustrating experience!? Husk is an excellent restaurant, and apparently preferred the advantages and improvements they learned about with Resy. Bottom line you need to fix issues with customers like I have experienced, and you obviously need to address issues with restaurant partners like Husk!

    Location and staff were amazing. Food had hits and misses. Starters were all fantastic, the mains were greats. The sides needed work. Husk should be a bit embarrassed how bad the grits were and for the price? Same with the cornbread. Our vegetables weren’t even warm, including the beets which weren’t cooked enough. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It was fine to good, but it didn’t meet our potentially hyped expectations.

    We had a good meal at Husk but unfortunately the experience was marred by the overly bright lighting, spartan table setting and overall unattractive space. It totally lacked charm. However, the bar at Husk is a wonderful space with lots of character and excellent bartenders. Visit the bar but skip the restaurant.

    We were in Charleston for 8 days and tried many restaurants. Husk was, by a considerable margin, the best. Our server, Talmage, was extremely helpful, the food was excellent. We were seated as soon as we arrived for our reservation. We would not hesitate to return.

    A friend recommended Husk to us and it lived up to all expectations. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. The lamb ravioli was an outstanding appetizer. I had roasted chicken with a white bean puree for my entree, delicious. The chocolate chess pie for dessert was so so good. There is no rushing, our server would check in but never in a rushed way. It was a lovely evening filled with good wine and wonderful food.

    First time for dinner. Had been several times for lunch/brunch. The cornbread with bacon flavor was tremendous. The rest not as special as we’d expected. Worth the $? We may not make an effort to fit Husk in our schedule for our next visit to Charleston.

    Jeremy was our server and he did an excellent job in welcoming us when we arrived. Knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The personalized menu was a special touch and made my birthday celebration extra special. We had the pimento cheese and Toro. If we have an extra room in our tummies, we would have the cornbread. Perhaps next time. :-)

    The space at Husk was more refined than we expected. Food was excellent, with wonderful takes on classic southern things. As a fan of basic Southern cuisine, like ham and biscuits and cornbread, I really enjoyed it. My wife a bit less. The restaurant certainly has a reputation that is hard to live up to.
