Hank's Seafood - Charleston

A traditional fine dining restaurant specializing in seafood. You can find lots of traditional dishes here which are well made. A little pricey but matched with the fine dining level. A bit slow in service as the place was packed the whole time even in late evening

It?s hard to grab, and more importantly hold on to, the magic. I first came to Hank?s 20 years ago and remember what a magic evening it was. One of those experiences where the food, service, and ambiance all came together perfectly. On a recent Thursday evening we were a little early to celebrate a birthday we had noted on our online reservation. We were seated promptly, and even accommodated with a seating change request. There was nothing wrong with our jumbo shrimp

I did the unthinkable and ordered chicken at a well known seafood restaurant and it. Was. Awesome. Spent the weekend in charleston for a work trip and the buttermilk chicken at hanks was one of the best meals I had. Phenomenally good collard greens and fried chicken. Don't miss Hanks seafood for a great meal!!!!

Each half dozen oyster serving was $20, we tried all three. The roasted oysters with the mignonette sauce were some of the best oysters I've ever had! The casino oysters were too cheesy and just became a hard glob. The fried were pretty flavorless and the corn sauce beneath them didn't have much flavor either. I'd suggest a nice remoulade sauce instead. The house salad was visually appealing and delicious. Great service at the bar.

Would give this six stars if I could! The grilled romaine salad was perfection. Subbed the shrimp out for chicken and I would come back just for that! The bread/aioli that came with the bouillabaisse was such a treat to dip in the broth. The grouper was one of the best fish dishes I?ve ever had. Pro tip: order a side of vanilla ice cream to eat with the key lime pie? best ending to the meal!
