Hannibal's Kitchen 16 Blake Street, Charleston, SC 29403

"This was a good place to go. I think if it had not been a busy Saturday night, it would have been better. We had three different meals, the liver and onions. I don't like liver but the person that ordered it, said it was ok. We also had the crab and shrimp rice, it was okay. Last meal was fried pork chop. It was good. The okra soup was good, mac n cheese was too. We ordered fried chicken livers for an appetizer but never got them. I didn't notice I was charged until next day. As I live in Florida and Pennsylvania, I didn't bother asking for a refund or anything. I gave it 4 stars for atmosphere and service. If it wasn't for that, I probably would give it an all around three."

"I came here for my birthday lunch yesterday, 01-23-24 after it was suggested by staff member of the International African American Museum. I ordered the grilled shrimp with onions and green peppers, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams with an Obama. The service and the food were great; the prices were reasonable. I also ordered the okra soup and cornbread to go. I sat at the bar and after hearing so many orders for the crab rice, I almost ordered some to go. Will definitely try it and the bread pudding next time. The okra soup and cornbread hit the spot once I returned home."

"A soulfull spot near the cigar factory. A welcome change from the usual offerings downtown. I had a delicious fish sandwich (portion was large, tasty and priced pretty well.) My friend ordered the chicken which he enjoyed. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a really casual, delicious spot to eat downtown. Note: be patient with the staff, they are awesome but busy!"

"1st time to Charleston and I Googled best southern food in Charleston... Hannibal's popped up, so we tried it. Wish Kansas was closer as we'd be here weekly! The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was homey and comfortable. Food was phenomenal, in our opinion. I had the Hannibal's Crab Rice with shrimp and cabbage as a side plus a piece of cornbread that was perfect. The husband had the Collard Green Plate, and it was over the top as well!"

"Hannibal's is a must visit if you're in the Charleston area. The food is very good and the history behind the restaurant makes it more intriguing. It is comfort food but with a different taste. Many well known individuals have visited and shared in the experience. The service we received was welcoming from the moment we stepped inside. The atmosphere was on par with the experience. I highly recommend stopping in for the experience and delicious food."
