But in between all the attractions, you can work up quite an appetite.

When you do, here’s my top 10 restaurants for the entire family to try in Charleston:

Fleet Landing Restaurant and Bar: If you’re looking for a meal on the waterfront, Fleet Landing is a continually popular choice. Fresh seafood and stunning views await, but reservations are highly recommended. Check out their menu here.
Tattooed Moose: Featured on Diner’s, Drive-Ins, and Dives, the Tattooed Moose is a must-stop while in town. Duck Fat Fries are the specialty of the house, and it will be a challenge to choose just one entrée. Read more on their website.
Martha Lou’s Kitchen: A local favorite for over 30 years, Martha Lou joined by her daughters and granddaughters, serves food so good you’ll “roll your eyes.” If that doesn’t sell it, Martha Stewart digs it. Find out more on their website.

4. Blondies Bagels and Café: Bringing a taste of the Northeast to the Carolina coast, Blondies is a great option for a satisfying and quick breakfast before sightseeing. Offering unique options for breakfast and lunch, and can I say homemade cream cheese?? See the menu to plan your attack.

5. Workshop: The Workshop is not your typical restaurant. Diners can select dishes from one of 6 rotating kitchens where exquisite local chefs experiment and tinker with flavors and textures.
