Jestine's Kitchen in Charleston is a four star American restaurant. This is a great place. This restaurant is very affordable.
This restaurant was recommended by several people. OK Southern cooking, but...

When Southern Living Magazine features a restaurant at least 7 times, it is featured in countless publications along with spots on television shows a person would be crazy not to try the place. Well, Jestine's...

By far the best lunch in Charleston. They serve old school Southern style meals. You can have anything from meat loaf to fried oysters. Every table gets a dish of sour pickles and the mashed potatoes…

Maybe it just got too big. So much hype over such a great restaurant and it fell apart. I've been back to Jestine's a couple times in the last year and nothing blew me away.

The wife and I checked out Jestine's for dinner on a Saturday night, for what was to be the first of a trio of authentic Southern meals. While Jestine's wasn't my favorite of the three, it certainly…

Sometimes you CAN believe the hype. In this case Jestine's not only lived up to the advance notice but managed to surpass our expectations in every possible way. The service was incredibly fast…

Great spot for authentic Southern cuisine. You have to get here early or else you'll be waiting in line. Save room for the banana pudding; it's just like my Mammie used to make.

I would agree with Rachel Ray's $40 a Day (though I can't stand the woman) and say this is a great food deal. (I did leave a much better tip than she does!) The fried chicken was great the first…
