The Basin Cafe
What more could you want from a dining experience? The Basin Cafe sits next to the parking lot by the Coast Guard station in Charleston and is generally inhabited by a bunch of commercial fishermen, and a few fisherwomen, most hours of the day, sitting at the long table by the front door. You wonder when they ever get a chance to go fishing.
Seafood and basic steak and potatoes fare is prepared well and honestly without a lot of gussying up. You can order a beer with breakfast and the waitress won't look at you funny. Neither will the other customers, who are probably on their second round.
