Three South Carolina Restaurants Earn National Recognition

I think we all love to treat ourselves to a night out occasionally.  I'm a big foodie, so I really enjoy exploring and trying new spots.  When I saw that three restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina rank among the best in the nation, I'm thinking I will definitely try them when I get a chance.  This is a big recognition that says a lot about these establishments.  So hey, I'm game.  Tripadvisor recognized the eateries after studying quality and quantity of reviews and ratings left online for the restaurants.  One of the spots named was Circa 1886 Restaurant.  Located in a former carriage house, it ranks No. 6 in the nation for date nights.  Customers point to the intimate atmosphere and the South Carolina-influenced menu as reasons for the reviews.  Some favorites are a caviar-topped grilled pimento cheese sandwich and shrimp and grits.

Halls Chophouse ranks No. 5 in fine dining.  The spot earned a top Mother's Day go-to this year.  Fans like the fine dining customer service and hand-selected aged steaks.

In the best "everyday eats" category, Queology comes in at No. 9.  Customers rave about the smoked wings and pulled pork.
