Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Downtown Charleston

A delicious taste of Germany in the Charleston area. Great service, nice ambiance, wine, beer and a menu that is broad enough to cover all tastes but focused enough to ensure quality in each bite. It’s a small and efficient location with ample parking so make a reservation, arrive on time and prepare to be happy.

Rudy Royale in Charleston is an absolute delight for anyone seeking bold flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. The star of the show is undoubtedly the chicken sandwich – perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with unforgettable flavor. It’s hands down the best chicken sandwich in town! The sides deserve a standing ovation as well. The Brussels sprouts, tossed in their magical sauce, are a flavor explosion that will have you scraping the plate. The garlic potatoes with the crispy edges are rich, and comforting – a must-order. And then there’s the mac and cheese: ooey, gooey, and everything you want in this classic comfort dish. Truly, you’ll regret skipping it. We started with the deviled eggs, a perfectly executed classic that set the tone for the meal. As for dessert, we tried the banana pudding. While it was good, it didn’t quite live up to the hype compared to the rest of the menu, but it was a sweet way to end the meal nonetheless. Rudy Royale is a culinary treasure in Charleston, with standout dishes that will have you coming back for more. Don’t miss it!

This is a great place. The service and food are too shelf. It is a somewhat casual place, but not too casual for dinner. Our server was super nice and well-informed.

We had a wonderful lunch with friends on Christmas Eve!
