the best slice of southern cooking to be had!
My favorite place in all of Charleston. They turned me on to shrimp and grits... talk about Southern comfort food.    [03 Jul 2003 08:14:22]

We visited and ate in Jestine's kitchen recently and the food was excellent! The fried green tomatoes and coconut cream pie are the best.    [23 Jul 2003 10:47:36]

The food, the service and the history behind this restaurant was absolutely breathtaking. We went back the next day.
We highly recommend this resturant.

Mandatory stop in Charleston
Our walking tour guide recommended Jestine's and my wife recognized it as highlighted on cooking and travel shows. Wonderful, reasonably priced, traditional menu served by energetic friendly staff. Great time. Good call!    [17 Feb 2005 17:17:34]

Disappointed
Not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't delivered! Food and service was ok but nothing like I had heard and read about. Probably won't go back. No major complaints, just nothing exceptional either.    [23 Mar 2007 10:49:46]

Southern food at it's best!
The fried oysters are the best I've ever eaten. And the coconut cream pie....I don't even LIKE coconut cream pie but Jestine's pie has become my favorite dessert of all time. It's indescribably delicious. No matter how short our stay in Charleston, we always eat at Jestine's.    [15 Aug 2007 16:21:47]
