The Darling Oyster - Charleston

Amazing place to visit if you are in Charleston, SC. We did not have a reservation, but we were allowed to sit at the bar. The bartender was really great. We order the bad boy oysters they were delicious and fresh. I ordered the sea scallops and I will order again if we are ever in town again. My husband had the the shrimp and grits, he really enjoyed that. Very busy place, but it is worth it.

Our family had a wonderful meal at the Darling Oyster Bar this evening. Our server, Lilly, was great and very helpful in suggesting some wonderful oyster combinations for my boys and I to try.

My other son had the fried clam strips appetizer as his dinner with hush puppies and they were both excellent as well. All in

My experience was overall very good and would like to try it again in the future.

Service Got served both drinks and a full menu from Dan and Nick. Aug helped. All friendly and accommodating. Food Drinks Excellent. Tried two types of raw oysters (2 dozen). All fresh and perfectly briny. Moved to fried oysters, also fresh and well prepared. Palomas were enjoyed, as well as the London

We ordered several small plates of food but was most interested in comparing our experience of gulf oysters (from LA) to what South Carolina had to offer. We were impressed! We tried three different varieties of oysters, 1 from VA which were very large and clean but a bit briny, 1 from Charleston with a nice texture, very clean a little bit chewy and 1
