What locals are saying
Anson is a long-standing Lowcountry fine-dining institution that locals treat as a reliable go-to for classic Southern dishes done well — the whole crispy flounder, she-crab soup, and shrimp and grits are repeatedly called out as standouts. The service is consistently praised as attentive and polished, and the historic, gilt-trimmed dining room earns high marks for atmosphere. There is little notable backlash from the local crowd; the main critique is that it skews more toward a special-occasion or visitor crowd rather than a casual neighborhood spot.
