What locals are saying
Local reviewers on Yelp (3.8 average across 3,762 reviews) and TripAdvisor describe Tanger Outlets Charleston as a clean, reliable open-air outlet best suited for specific brand anchors — Nike, Under Armour, Le Creuset, Kate Spade, and Puma get repeated praise — but the consensus is lukewarm for anyone seeking a distinctive shopping destination, with one reviewer flatly calling it 'an okay place to shop.' Ample parking, friendly staff, and a well-regarded food truck scene soften the criticism, though the absence of electronics stores and the sense that it's interchangeable with any other Tanger location are common complaints. The surrounding area is in active flux: a $100M+ mixed-use development along nearby International Blvd signals growing density around the outlets, which may reshape the district's draw over the next few years.
