We ate an early dinner, because we wanted to avoid waiting in line. Husband had fried chicken, which because of reviews, he was really looking forward to. Portions were generous, and while it was good, it wasn't great. The same holds true for my meatloaf. It was just OK. Maybe our expectations were too high? We're not usually very critical... More

I’ve eaten at Jestine’s once before several years ago and knew I had to return while in town. This is a lovely little restaurant situated on Meeting Street that is within walking distance to several hotels. I arrived at approximately 12:30 PM for lunch and was faced with a line that went around the corner - not to worry, though,... More

While driving thru Charleston someone recommend we have lunch at Jestine's. We were immediately greeted by a hostess and quickly seated. It's a really cozy country kitchen feel to it with old pictures and articles decorating the walls. The menu, while small, had a god selection. Three of us ordered the fried chicken basket and my husband ordered the flounder... More

The atmosphere is Southern meat and three with a twist. The food is delicious. Corn Fritters oysters and fried okra made my afternoon And the service was great with Shannon. We could ask for more.

My wife and I love the restaurant. We have visited I everytime we are in Charleston. We have gone at all times of the day and the service and food are always great. We even stop into their bakery when given the opportunity. Anything fried is amazing! Both my wife and daughter can eat platefuls of the vegetables.

nothing spectacular- however, in fairness we are not keen on Southern cooking - seems to be well liked by locals and the staff was friendly

The food was great and the staff could not have been nicer. It was a little rainy so there was no wait for a table. Those that did wait outside under the awnings were served very quickly. This was my second time there and will definitely be going back.
