What locals are saying
Frannie & The Fox, tucked inside Hotel Emeline, is widely regarded as one of the more atmosphere-forward spots in downtown Charleston — the wood-fired patio with an open fireplace draws both locals and hotel guests. Food is consistently praised as very good rather than exceptional, with meatballs, blue crab fritters, and wood-fired pizza being the reliable standouts. Service earns compliments but reviewers note occasional slowness and inconsistency, which the restaurant itself attributes to high staff turnover from its college-student workforce.
