We were lucky to get an early reservation during a really busy week in Charleston (first week of April). The salad that I ordered tasted like everything was just picked from a garden. I have never had a better salad except when I grew it myself. I had shrimp and grits. It was superb. My husband had BBQ Tuna. He... More

I would put this on your list of places to eat, and would recommend reservations. We waited about 40 minutes at lunch time but the food did not disappoint. We had a little mix-up with salad dressing being on one of the salads when we asked for it not to be, and the person delivering the food got a little... More

I made reservation for SNOB on Tuesday at 1:00 in the afternoon for Tuesday night. We had a choice of 5:45 or 8:30. Everything else was taken. SNOB has a nice wine list and allows time for a leisurely meal. So while reservations may be challenging to obtain, they are worth it, We did not feel rushed through our meal.... More

I went to the restaurant 2 nights while I was in Charleston and loved it. There were many gluten free options. I had the lamb one night and the shrimp and steak and shrimp another night. Both were great and the Creme Brulee was delicious as well, I hardly ever get to eat dessert at restaurants so that was a... More

First off I love a restaurant with an open kitchen. If they are confident enough to let you watch them cook, I'm confident eating their cooking. You have to try the barbecued rare tune with fried oysters. Yea I know, sounds wrong. Only in Charleston can they pull this one off. Low country cooking at its finest. Ps. The name... More

Whatever the question, the answer is YES when it comes to Slightly North of Broad, or SNOB as the locals call it. Fresh, local, sustainable food with great service. We had shrimp and grits, a tomato mozzarella salad, crab soup, and strawberry shortcake. And it was ALL wonderful!

So glad we gave this place a try. Loved the atmosphere and the service and food were fantastic! I had the lunch fish special of Pollock and it was prepared to perfection! Our table also had the reuben sandwich, salmon cake, lentil soup, and lunch salads. Great spot to have lunch and then stroll around Battery area!

If you visit SNOB you must try the $18 Veggie Platter. I know it sounds boring, but there's a reason people rave about this dish and you have to order it to know what I mean. Man, does that chef know how to pack all the most wonderful arrangement of grilled/steamed/stir fried and other types of veggie cooking into one... More

We were excited to go to Slightly North of Broad for dinner one night on our trip to Charleston. We made reservations a month in advance based on the reviews of this restaurant. However, the tenderloin with shrimp was tough and the shrimp, tasteless. My scallops were cooked well and looked beautiful but had no flavor. Our crab appetizer was... More

Really a great atmosphere with an equally great waiting staff. My wife and I shared a Tuna Tar-Tar, I had the Tuna Bar-B-Que and my wife had the Salmon. All were delicious. We had a small issue while dining but must admit that our waitress and the manager went above and beyond to make things right. We left happy, very... More
