Rappahannock Oyster Bar - Charleston, SC

A last minute reservation in Charleston and turned out to be our favorite one yet! Amazing food, atmosphere and staff. Drinks are strong and seafood is good - what more can you ask for?! Will definitely come back!Food: 5/5

Definitely worth a stop when in Charleston. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing. Service was very slow when we were there but I think they were short staffed that day. I can't wait to go back and definitely will change my Service rating if it speeds up.Food: 5/5

Rappahannock Oyster Bar is a nice seafood restaurant with a good selection of oysters. Even though the restaurant was crowded, we were able to secure a reservation at the bar and watch them shucks the oysters while you eat. The oyster shuckers were very knowledgeable and were able to recommend the best oysters based on your flavor profile, which was very helpful. We ordered two dozen oysters and a whole grilled fish, both were amazing. The service was great too, with friendly and attentive staff making sure that everything was just right.

You’re in luck if either Taryn and Jay are serving you… amazing service! They’re so knowledgeable, friendly and have great recommendations. I had such an amazing time with them! The oysters here are phenomenal, tried the two house and one guest and my favorite were the olde salt because I like more of a bit salty brine. Tried the aviation cocktail for the first time a must try if you like gin and the bloody oyster shooter with the old Salome was my favorite shot of the shooters I tried. The shrimp po boy was really yummy and I was surprised!! A great addition to oysters and clams lots of onions and rosemary

Very good food! The shipping grits that comes with squid ink and black garlic was very tasty. I recommend it. The beef tartar and the oyster tasted great too.

Came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch with three friends. We had lots of the meals on the menu: oysters, whole fish, salads, grits, etc. All food was delicious. Only complaint is that vegetarian options were few. This day in age not everything has to be cooked with bacon, and vegetarian sides have to exist on the menu. Otherwise, vegetarian guests can only eat salad. And one doesn’t come to Charleston to eat salad. Corn, asparagus, potatoes, broccoli, etc. so many options. Put at least one green thing on the side menu that is not salad. Service was good. We also had wine, margaritas and mimosas. All were great. Although the drinks menu is also fairly limited. I would come back here for sure. Not the greatest variety, but what they have was very good!

The food was to die for. We are foodies and travel a lot , eating and trying different cuisines, we were very impressed with the fresh food also are waiter was amazing and helpful . The shrimp and grits were not your ordinary which was a good thing they were an A+, are daughter had the whole fried snapper and she loved it, we also slurped down on some oysters some of the best I ever had! Must try it's also a local favorite

One of our favorite oyster bars. Always reliable with good parking. Get a res for a big group or walk in and sit at the bar for a casual nightFood: 5/5

Every dish at Rappahannock is phenomenal and they all have a unique twist. I love a spicy bloody mary and they delivered! This restaurant also has a perfect atmosphere, convenient parking, and a super friendly staff.Food: 5/5
