Basic Kitchen

Social posts and influencer write-ups consistently name the Beet Margarita, buffalo cauliflower wings, and Caesar salad as the must-orders — multiple TikTok creators tag it as 'forever my favorite restaurant in Charleston' and 'a healthy Charleston staple you need to add to your rotation.' Creators also call out the corn ribs, pistachio beet dip, and smoked salmon salad as standout plates, with the vegan ranch repeatedly described as 'life-changing.' The dominant sentiment is that it punches above the 'healthy food' label — guests are visibly surprised by the flavor. Vegan and gluten-free diners are especially vocal fans, praising the staff's allergy knowledge. The one recurring gripe is price, with a handful of posts noting it feels expensive for the portion.
