Word on the street
What locals are saying
Delaney Oyster House earns strong local loyalty as a go-to date-night spot in a beautifully renovated historic Charleston single-house, with fresh oysters, a standout blue crab rice, and a creative martini program driving repeat visits — one quasi-local reviewer describes going 'once every three weeks.' The Post and Courier's critic lauded the overall mood and cold seafood but flagged specific hot dishes (over-sweetened fish beignets, an oversalted scallop preparation) as notable weak spots. Prices run steep — cocktails $14–19, wine $17/pour — which some reviewers note, though the porch-and-piazza setting and seafood quality keep regulars coming back.
