Word on the street
What locals are saying
Edison James Island is consistently celebrated by James Island and Charleston locals as a neighborhood hidden gem that delivers creative, locally-sourced New American cooking without the downtown traffic and parking headache. Regulars on Nextdoor and review aggregators single out the seasonal menu, standout dishes like Lowcountry Butterbean Soup, fried oysters, and short ribs, and the knowledgeable, friendly staff as reasons they return repeatedly. The main recurring criticism is inconsistent food quality from visit to visit, and walk-ins often struggle — reservations are essentially mandatory.
