7. Hyman's Seafood Company Restaurant

Grade D seafood
As a local I am never surprised to see the lines of TOURIST sweating it out in front of Hymans. I wonder if they're surprised when they get seated and notice that most of the tables inside are kept empty so that a line remains outside to reel in more unknowing victims. The seafood distributors fill Hyman's delivery orders with the lowest legally servable grade of seafood. Just because Southern Living readers voted it best seafood doesn't mean that a large sum of money didn't cast most of those votes...listen to the locals and don't fall in line!

Warning: Do NOT fall for this hyped up tourist trap. This is the worst seafood you will ever waste your money on. Poor service as well. Get the word out.Signed....a disappointed new local.

My wife and I ate at Hyman's on a recent visit to Charleston and found it to be all that we expected. The only complaint that I had was that the grits seemed rather thin. The potato soup was exceptionally good!!! All of the other seafood was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. We will definetly go back the next time we are in Charleston.
