Why locals love it
It set the tone for modern Southern cooking and still cooks like it has something to prove.
What locals are saying
Locals view Husk as a Charleston institution that's now polarizing — beloved for its hyperlocal Southern ethos, beautiful historic house setting, and the legendary cheeseburger at the adjacent bar, but frequently called overrated and inconsistent since founding chef Sean Brock departed. Regulars still recommend it for a special occasion (especially the bar) while warning that food and service can be hit-or-miss for the price.
