"This was my must visit spot when I visited Charleston! It's a cozy little spot in the upper king st area. I think about the char grilled oysters everyday. The fried chicken was also very crispy and juicy, but needed some hot honey & hot sauce for more flavor. I wish I had come with a friend so I could try more on the menu, but I was very happy with what I ordered!"
"Excellent first experience. The food, the staff, service and the experience in general. We ordered the world famous char-grilled oysters, the crispy fried shrimp roll, crispy catfish sandwich and the grilled fish sandwich. All very tasty! They have parking a few feet away is very convenient too."
"The food here was good but overpriced, and the service was disappointing. We ordered the char-grilled oysters, fried brussels sprouts, hush puppies, and Leon’s big chicken platter with cole slaw and scalloped potatoes as sides. The food was good but nothing to write home about and definitely overpriced. The service was slower than expected, and our server added a 25% service charge on our bill, which was unexpected since we only had a party of 4 which we didn’t think was considered a large party. Because of this and the overpriced food, we likely wouldn’t come back again."
"Raw bar selections were great, I tried all available oysters. They were all fresh and delicious. Also ordered the scalloped potatoes and cucumber salad, scalloped potatoes were awesome! The cucumbers were good, but nothing special. I’ve heard they have the best fried chicken, but unfortunately this was not my experience, it was pretty bland in general and without the hot sauce and hot honey on the table, just wasn’t good, It was however hot and fresh, but was nothing to write home about. Go for the oysters and ambiance, worth the trip."
"Leon’s was AMAZING! The food and service was so good! It was a perfect chill place to have grilled oysters and some cocktails! Definitely get the grilled oyster! They were delicious! I am so sad I was just visiting Charleston or else I would make this my regular place to go. Can’t wait for my next visit!!"
