Re: “Queen Street Grocery & Café”
Best crepes and Cuban sandwiches in the city. Home made spicy chipotle will clear your nasal passages. Cold pressed coffee is so strong I met Jim Morrison and Jimmi Hendrix on the same day. Their regular coffee could be better though. Organic wine selection is good.
Re: “The Olive Oil Shop”
If you're into processed, flavored oils, then this is your place. If you're looking for cold pressed, unfiltered traditional oils, then you'll be disappointed. But I guess like most of the stores on King Street, they cater to the tourists. I've been able to find traditional oils (filtered) just as good in local grocery stores (not Whole Foods or Earth Fare). Oils are like wine, its really a personal preference.
Re: “The Olive Oil Shop”
Great products! I love their store and the service is great! Def. a must see while shopping on King! Try the 18 year old and the Black Truffle Oil!
Re: “Seeking Indigo”
Amazing work Rebecca does. Can't wait for the workshop!!
Re: “Queen Street Grocery & Café”
This establishment is the only one in the Holy City deserving of the name "Recovery Room." Cold pressed coffee, Kombucha, and vitamin loaded vittles are the morphine of the liver battering lifestyle of Charleston. Honest music and even more honest conversation seal the deal as the misgivings of the late hours can be redeemed in the early ones. Great lunch spot, almost makes me jealous of those in walking distance. When voting your dollars, don't mind walking an extra street over.
Re: “Queen Street Grocery & Café”
Their insanely strong cold pressed coffee is pure rocket fuel. The crepe spinning guy (?) made us a tasty turkey, basil, and spicy chipotle treat with thin sliced apples. Fun place to hang out and chat. Highly recommended, and close to King and Broad Street. But beware of the cold pressed coffee... not for weaklings.
Re: “In Good Taste”
Don't worry, we're still here!
Re: “Queen Street Grocery & Café”
Tasty! Their breakfast and lunch crepes are fresh and healthy. Their ultra-strong local cold pressed coffee is addictive – perfect for a hangover. Very close to everything downtown. Highly recommend Queen Street Grocery and Crepes. Helpful wine and beer selection as well. Worth a try, on foot or via bike.
Re: “Monster Music & Movies”
Nice to find, friendly, accommodating, huge selections all types of music... and even used CD DVD and VCR sections. They'll order what you can't find.
Re: “In Good Taste”
Alas, closed before I could try them.
Re: “Holiday Inn Riverview”
Great View of Charleston Harbor from the restaurant. But the food is such a disappointment! Too bad, too, because it could be the tourist highlight if only management cared to have a decent menu and hire a worthwhile chef!
Re: “The Navy Yard at Noisette”
Loved it! Will be back next year. Ken, get a grip! You obviously didn't get a good ride on the mechanical bull. Glad you will not be there next year.

Re: “Burbage's Grocery”
Step back in time and be graciously welcomed into this wonderful corner grocery. Fine wines, meats and cheeses for that special meal....or maybe just picking up fresh bread and homemade soup for lunch...or maybe you've run out of milk and need to run in fast and pick something up....there is something for everyone. but, more than that, it is the wonderful feeling of community and time gone by that no other local retailer can provide. Burbage's is a must!
Re: “Queen Street Grocery & Café”
I have found this to be a nice little gem nestled a couple of blocks from the courthouse. In addition to the wonderful crepes and salads, they also have sushi and sandwiches in the back coolers. Makes for a quick lite lunch away from the hustle and bustle.
Re: “North Charleston Coliseum”
Fantastic concert last night in Tallahassee! He rocked the civic center to a packed house-great performance, high energy-the best I have ever seen. If you have tickets great if not I suggest you try to find them, you won't be disappointed!

Re: “Isle of Palms Marina”
RUN AWAY!!!!!
We recently had a horrible experience with this company. First off - the boat is in poor shape at best. The top is missing a bar and is help on by a rope. The windshield was cracked and the radio did not work. When we arrived - the girl helping us told us that this was the only boat they had running.
If that wasn't enough... the boat was rated for 10 people. We had 8 people and coolers. The boat could not go over 8 miles an hour.
We brought the boat back to the marina and were basically told it was our fault and the boat wasn't really rated for even the 8 people we had. We asked for a refund of the unused 6 hours. After being rude - they said they would only make us pay for the 2 hours used.
Here is the kicker... the two hours were then charged at the 2 hr rate (basically the 75% of the cost for 25% of the time).
The next time I want to be ripped off while being serviced by a 16 year old jerk - I know where to go.
Save your money and stay away.
Re: “Bull Street Gourmet”
I love Bull Street Gourmet. It is a great corner store where you can pick up a coffee or delicious, moderately priced lunch. The wine selection is very nice and Justin, the owner, is very knowledgeable. If I lived closer it would be my daily hangout.

Re: “Queen Street Grocery & Café”
Haven't had a bad meal yet. From their fresh crepes to the stacked Cuban sandwich are all prepared to order. Great selection of beer and wine. One of my favorite places to stop and have a good meal and a good laugh.
