Southeastern Wildlife Expo Where to Eat Downtown

By
Real Estate Agent with Edisto Realty Edisto Beach,SC DiscoverEdisto.com

Charleston Southeastern Wildlife Expo is next weekend and my "out of town" clients want know, Where to Eat?  I thought the best thing to do make a list of where I would go.  Fair Warning, these places will be Packed Expo weekend.  Try to avoid peak hours or get there early.

I chose these because of their "laid back" atmosphere.  Most expo visitors are not looking for the ultra high end restaurants.  Besides if you don't have a reservation by now your chance of getting one is slim.  I guess the most important factor to expo guests is location.  They want everything close to downtown.  Most of these are walking distance from Expo locations except California Dreaming, Taco Boy, and Bushido.  All are very "kid friendly".  Here they are in no particular order.

I had seen the review of the Hominy Grille by Anthony Bourdain - sounds like an awesome place to eat!  Wish I were there.  Great list of restaurants for the out of towners - you rock!
