The best places to eat in North Charleston, according to the experts: AAA, Bon Appétit, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. King BBQ comes out on top.

Rank 1. King BBQ
Barbecue
Two stone lions guard the front door of this North Charleston BBQ shop, which should tell you something about how the team does things. Meat by the pound is the move, built around shared combos that draw on both North Carolina Piedmont tradition and Chinese family-style dining. The hot pot collards keep people talking. Popular cuts like duck legs and ribs sell out, so arriving early is less a suggestion than a strategy.

Rank 2. Bertha's Kitchen
Lowcountry Soul Food
The fried chicken arrives in a styrofoam container, still crackling from the fryer, and costs around eight dollars with two sides. This counter-service Lowcountry soul food spot has been an old-school institution on Meeting Street for years, run by the daughters of the woman who started it. The okra stew tastes like it was never meant to be written down in a recipe.
