One of the best things about South Carolina is that there’s a mouthwatering meal around every corner. Regardless of where you are in the state you’re able to find numerous nearby restaurants that dish up inspiring, creatively prepared food that keeps you coming back for more. There’s a restaurant in the Lowcountry that does just that – and it serves that meal with a succulent side of the best water views in the state.
TripAdvisor/management Perched on the end of a little mini-peninsula across the harbor from downtown Charleston, this restaurant has more than just beautiful views.

Yelp/Christine T In 2017 the Charleston eatery is celebrating 30 years in business. And their signature California Dreaming Salad has been voted #1 for at least the last 10 years in a row. It’s easy to see why! It’s loaded with ham, turkey, cheddar and jack cheeses, eggs, tomatoes, almonds, topped with ham and bacon.

Facebook/California Dreaming Charleston If it’s seafood you crave, you’ll find it here too. From their signature seafood nachos to their oven roasted salmon or their fried shrimp, there’s something to please everyone. On the other side of the menu, you’ll find landlubber faves too like the full-flavored ribs basted with BBQ sauce. Get a half rack, or go all the way with a full rack.
