What locals are saying
Sorghum & Salt is widely regarded among Charleston's food-forward crowd as one of the city's most creatively ambitious restaurants, with strong local loyalty built around its vegetable-forward small plates and 6-course chef's counter tasting menu. The Post and Courier's critic offered a dissenting note — 'bizarre doesn't automatically equal excellence' — while acknowledging Yelp regulars consistently exalt its 'creativity, innovation and mad scientist streak'; the tension between adventurous fans and skeptics of its more experimental dishes is a recurring undercurrent. A 2024 move from the original Coming Street location to the larger 186 St. Philip St. space (60+ seats, a new 12-seat bar) has broadened walk-in accessibility without meaningfully diluting the ethos, and OpenTable named it a Top 10 Diners' Choice winner in Charleston for 2024.
